Andelen individer med demenshandikapp kommer att öka som en följd av den ökande andelen äldre i vårt land. Den största gruppen vårdgivare till individer med demenssjukdom utgörs av makar. Denna informella vård sker ofta mer eller mindre osynligt och genomförs i tystnad. Att vara anhörig till en individ med demenssjukdom förknippas ofta med fysiska, emotionella, sociala och finansiella bördor. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka i vilken utsträckning arbetsterapeuter i Skånes mindre kommuner, med invånarantal under 30 000, kommer i kontakt med anhöriga till dementa i sitt yrke.

We wanted to study if and how students become motivated and stimulated towards a permanent interest for regular physical activity, from a pedagogical perspective. Our goal was to examine how physical education teachers create motivation for the students and how you, as a physical education teacher, can motivate those students who are physically inactive due to obesity or other various kinds of problems. In the theoretical background, we have made a summary of sports and development of the physical education subject over the years. We also describe society´s perspective on public health. The motivation concept is definded and we explain different motivational theories.

Objective:This study aimed to investigate the correlation between physical activity level (PAL), measured with activity diary and accelerometer, among overweight and obese children and adolescents. The aim was also to study differences in PAL between girls and boys.Design:55 children and adolescents, whom been subjected to a physical activity registration with a physical activity diary and accelerometer during three or four days, were included in this study. From the data received from the children?s journal records PAL was calculated and compiled for statistic analysis.Results:The results of the study showed that the children underestimated their physical activity level when measured with activity diary, in comparison with the physical activity level measured with accelerometer. Differences between girl and boys PAL values were not statistically significant, although the girls PAL values from the accelerometer, but not from the activity diary, reached a moderate activity level according to Nordic nutrition recommendation.

Public health is important to many areas of society. It is important to have different goals to focus the work with health promotion in different sectors, one such area is the school. In the society of today there are a lot of public health issues like stress, overweight and physical inactivity.

Förflyttningshjälpmedel kan skapa svårigheter att ta sig fram i den fysiska miljön, vilket kallas tillgänglighetsproblem. Användbarhetsproblem kan också uppstå, som innebär att personen inte kan göra det han eller hon vill i den fysiska miljön. Lek och rekreation är viktiga aktiviteter för barn. Syftet med denna studie var att få förståelse för vilka platser barn som använder förflyttningshjälpmedel väljer för lek och rekreation i sin närmiljö, samt få förståelse för vilka upplevelser som är knutna till platserna. Gåturer genomfördes med tre barn, åtta och tio år som använde förflyttningshjälpmedel med hjul.

Purpose:  The purpose of this paper is that from the physical travel agencies perspective try to see how they perceive their future, knowing that the booking on Internet has increased.Problem: What are the prospects for future development of the physical travel agency? Has the technological development affected the physical travel agency and forced it to change its role and meaning?Method: This paper has a qualitative approach. Interviews have been made with employees on physical travel agencies to try to reach a deeper understanding and thereafter be able to give us an understanding of our problem.Conclusion: The physical travel agency has been given a new role as the employees are no longer seen as sellers but more regarded to as consultants. The travel agency has become more of an information bank than just a shop where travels are being sold. Despite this change, we believe that customers will continue to visit the physical travel agents because of the unique knowledge and services they can provide that Internet not yet can offer.

Aktivitetsbalans är ett dynamiskt fenomen som påverkas av förändringar i den fysiska miljön samt i vilket stadium i livet individer befinner sig i. Aktivitetsbalans beskrivs även som ett generellt begrepp som bidrar till hälsa och välbefinnande. Tidigare forskning visar att vuxna med ett fysiskt funktionshinder har en mindre social umgängeskrets än vuxna utan fysiskt funktionshinder. Forskning visar också att vuxna med ett fysiskt funktionshinder är mindre nöjda med sitt arbete, sin ekonomiska situation, sina relationer samt livet i helhet. Tidigare studier visar också på att vuxna med ett fysiskt funktionshinder har ett svagt socialt nätverk, svårigheter att delta i fritidsaktiviteter, svårigheter att få ett heltidsarbete.

Det är främst aktivitetskategorin arbete som förändras. Enligt litteraturen är det viktigt för hälsan och välbefinnandet att finna balans mellan arbete, personlig vård, fritid och vila. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka på vilket sätt och i vilken utsträckning personer i arbetsför ålder med förvärvade hjärnskador upplever aktivitetsbalans.

The purpose of this essay was to study what students at the upper secondary levels thought that they learned in physical education and if there were differences between girls and boys learning. The purpose was also to study different factors that could affect the learning and to show how curriculum and prior research relate to the students learning. In this essay we used the three aspects of health that are mentioned in the description of physical education: the physical, the social and the psychic. The study was based on a quantitative research where 165 students answered questionnaires about their learning. Our research showed that the students did not get the knowledge that the A-course in physical education should provide and that the goals for the course were not accomplished.

ABSTRACTThe purpose of the study was to examine, from the point of view of former research findings, what impact physical activity had on learning. I chose to make an explorative/inductive research, to get as much knowledge as possible from the studied presentation of problem, not to limit myself to a specific research theory. The result proved, that school personal and student experienced many positive effects from daily physical activities. The pupils were more pleased. There was more piece and quiet in the classroom.

The purpose of this study is to examine how two different primary schools with the same school management district work with daily physical activity. We have chosen to conduct our investigation based on interviews. Through the interviews, we can highlight the teacher´s and principal´s interpretations of the concept regarding physical activity and find out the school´s arguments and working methods for pupil´s physical activity. These two schools work with physical activity in two different ways and the study describes the teacher´s and principal's choice of approach. Since our training is directed towards the younger ages, school years 1-3, we chose to interview teachers who work in these classes.

Syftet med denna studie är att rapportera prospektivt om handfunktion och aktivitetsutförande efter PIP- leds pyrocarbonprotes med efterföljande rehabiliteringsprogram. I studien används objektiva och subjektiva utvärderingsinstrument. Studien inkluderar 21 patienter i ett program som följer patienterna minst ett år (12-36 mån.). För objektiv utvärdering användes rörelseomfång (ROM) och greppstyrka och för subjektiv utvärdering användes validitetsreliabla instrumenten COPM och DASH. Smärta mättes med visual analogue scale (VAS).I studien har fyra av 21 patienter blivit reopererade pga smärta, infektion och inskränkt rörlighet.

The purpose with this study was to examine which opinions and knowledge the directors have about the physical residential environment's importance on accommodations for people with dementia disease and how they do to create and to maintain a good physical residential environment. The issues have been: Which opinions and knowledge the directors had about the physical residential environment's importance for the people with dementia?
