Aim: The aim of this paper was to investigate whether scientific evidence exists to improve, of students? perceived, insufficient infection control in isolation facilities in companion animal hospitals in Sweden. Material and methods: A question was emailed to the students in the last year of the animal nursing program at SLU in the spring 2012 to get their view of perceived insufficient infection control. A literature study was thereafter preformed using the search engine Web of Knowledge. Results: The students reported several perceived shortcomings which were divided into five categories: basal hygiene, isolation routines, cleaning and disinfection, patient flow and other. Studies supporting that the shortcomings perceived by the students also exist in human health care and to some extent in animal clinics and hospitals were found. Furthermore, scientific evidence that improved hand hygiene, glove procedures and cleaning and disinfection reduces the risk of nosocomial infections in humans was reported. Conclusion: There is not a lot of research performed in the area of infection control in animal nursing.

The aim of our study is to examine experience of the quality of life for elderly people with assisted living from their own, and caretakers, perspectives. We also aim to examine how elderly people in assisted living, and caretakers, experiences that they could affect the elderly people´s quality of life. The study is based on a qualitative method and the data is collected by interviews with four recipient of care and three care takers. The result shows that there are many factors that have an importance when it comes to quality of life for the recipient of care. It has shown in the study that the recipient of care and the caretakers put emphasize in the same factors. These factors are health, the affect of assisted living, happiness, relationships and self-determination.

Problem: Yrken inom Hälso- och sjukvården är högt fysiskt och framför allt psykiskt påfrestande arbeten där tidspress och arbetstempo fortsätter att öka. Syfte: Syftet med litteraturstudien var att belysa stressorer som kan påverka sjuksköterskans omvårdnadsarbete. Metod: Studien var en litteraturstudie, 17 artiklar (3 kvali- tativa och 14 kvantitativa) och en avhandling som svarade mot studiens syfte har granskats och analyserats. Resultat och konklusion: Många faktorer och orsaker till nutidens ohälsa kan sökas i arbetsmiljön och dess alltmer ökade krav på individen. Varje individ är unik och påverkas därmed olika av samma situationer.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate how social workers, working in a management position in the health care system, perceive the encounter of the medical and social perspective. With seven qualitative interviews, the study tries to conclude whether or not social workers are accepted at managerial positions within the health care sector. The social worker is, as a manager in health care, a leader but at the same time in a professional alienation from the medical caregivers. Organizations in the health care sector are often multi professional and have their own long standing tradition, history and culture. The results show that the conditions for social workers, working in a management position in health care appear to be agreeable.

Med besittning avses i juridisk mening att någon faktiskt och rättsligt kontrollerar egendom, vilket inbegriper att det hos besittaren finns en vilja att besitta egendomen. Rättsfaktumet besittning ges långtgående rättsföljder inom såväl sakrätten som straffrätten, varför det är intressant att utreda vilka omständigheter som konstituerar besittning inom respektive rättsområde. Vidare har detta betydelse för besittningsbegreppets innebörd då besittaren är en juridisk person. Förfäktar man att en juridisk person har en rättskapande vilja medför det att rekvisiten för att en juridisk person skall anses utöva besittning är desamma som en fysisk dito. Anser man däremot att en juridisk person endast är en fiktiv skapelse, utan vilja, förutsätter detta att en fysisk ställföreträdare utövar besittning för den juridiska personen, vilket i sin tur borde leda till att rekvisiten för att en juridisk person skall räknas som besittare i juridisk mening väsentligen skiljer sig från dem som gäller för fysisk persons besittning.

Introduction: The population of Sweden has during the last century doubled. An increased live expectancy results in an older population and the share needing medical care increases. Demographic and political changes in developed counties have resulted in changed demands on the care of the elderly. The elderly are discharged from hospital earlier and this results a significant responsibility on the elderly themselves and their relatives. Often the relatives are engaged in the elderly?s health problems, care needs and the future consequences the current situation results in for the elderly and the domestic life.

Bakgrund: Relationen mellan sjuksköterska och patient har genomgått stora förändringar. Från att patienten tidigare sågs som ett objekt utan egna resurser, till att idag ses ur ett holistiskt perspektiv, som en individ med styrkor, tillgångar och som är expert på sin egen person. Begreppet patientdelaktighet uppmärksammades år 1978 av World Health Organization i  Alma-Ata deklarationen och har sedan dess fått större utrymme i vården. Patienters lagliga rätt till delaktighet i sin vård är idag omfattande och det är vårdpersonalens skyldighet att informera och involvera sina patienter. Patienter idag ställer allt högre krav på sjukvården och det är en utmaning för sjuksköterskor att kunna förhålla sig till dessa.Syfte: Syftet var att belysa faktorer som påverkar patienters delaktighet i sin vård.Metod: En litteraturstudie baserad på elva vetenskapliga artiklar analyserade med induktiv ansats.Resultat: Författarna fann elva underteman som påverkade patienters upplevelse av delaktighet i sin vård.

Today there is still irrelevant pay differential in society. In Sweden in 2010, the average pay differential was 15,4 percent between the sexes. Only 0,8 percent better than EU:s average.In Sweden the individual salaries increasingly have begun to characterize the Swedish labor market. Based on this, the aim of this study is to highlight the issue of equal pay between men and women from the perspective of individual salary. This would also been doing with a background in the regulatory environment of equal pay.When it comes to equality between women and men it is the area of labor law in EU who is the most developed and in Sweden this is the area who is most affected by EU law.
