Bakgrund: Födoämnesallergi hos barn innebär påverkan på livskvaliteten, hos barnet såväl som hos föräldrarna. Som vårdgivare och beskyddare innebär det att alltid vara på sin vakt vad gäller det som barnet stoppar i sig. Föräldrar har också ett ansvar att instruera och utbilda andra i barnets omgivning, vilket kan medföra sociala begränsningar. Vårdpersonal kan hjälpa föräldrarna att minska deras ångest och oro genom en större förståelse för deras vardagssituation. Syfte: Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att belysa föräldrars upplevelser, med fokus på livskvalitet, i familjer med barn som lider av födoämnesöverkänslighet.

The students think of Swedish as a subject with a clear purpose and find it important and useful. The result also shows that the students want grading for the purpose of further motivation.

The main purpose of this examination paper has been to do a review of recent scientific and evaluated studies performed on children 0-15 years of age, treated with an animal as an assistant to the therapist/professional. The key term is Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT). Our focus has been to describe in what fields these kinds of studies have been performed, what the results are and how effective they have been. As a supplement to our study we have performed 8 short telephone interviews with professionals in the same field of occupation corresponding to the studies we have summarized. Our results concerning the studies show that there has been a positive outcome in the treatment of children and adolescents and AAT.

Hjärttransplantation är en behandlingsform som blir allt vanligare vid allvarlig hjärtsjukdom. Syftet med studien var att beskriva upplevelser, coping strategier och behov av vårdpersonals stöd hos personer som väntar på en hjärttransplantation. Studien var en systematisk litteraturöversikt som baserades på 13 vetenskapliga studier. Utifrån 3 frågeställningar presenterades resultatet i nio huvudfynd. Personer som väntade på en hjärttransplantation upplevde stress och försämrad livskvalitet, använde sig mest av positiva copingstrategier som optimism samt behövde stöd av vårdpersonal i form av uppmuntran till positiva copingstrategier och riktade omvårdnadsinterventioner.

The case method is a relatively new pedagogical method in Sweden that is based on students exercising their skills in the analysis of complex situations and problems that are based in reality and that help students to see a broader perspective and context.The purpose of this study has been to investigate, through interviews with students and teachers, the advantages and disadvantages of the case method in teaching geography.The results of the study show that both teachers and students share almost the same opinion. The conclusion is that the case method is a didactic method that is well suited for teaching geography, as it is based on reality and develops the students? ability to analyze, argue and find solutions in several areas within the subject of geography. If a student is strong in these skill areas they can really benefit from the application of the case method in the teaching of geography, but for students who are weaker in these skills, the case method can be a disadvantage.

För att främja patientens fysiska hälsa måste sjuksköterskan även arbeta med det mentala tillståndet hos patienten. Sjuksköterskan möter individer som befinner sig i många olika skeden i livet. Vid en amputation går både funktion och kroppsuppfattning förlorad och individen måste hitta tillbaka till livet med helt andra förutsättningar än tidigare. Copingstrategier används av personal, patienter och anhöriga och är viktiga för att hantera en påfrestande situation. Syftet var att undersöka vilka copingstrategier individer som genomgått amputation använde sig av och vilken betydelse dessa hade för rehabilitering.

The purpose of this paper is to compare two different portfolio strategies consisting of insider transactions and stock recommendations and examine whether they posses any information advantage.  The portfolios are balanced once every three-, six- and twelve- months in the period of 2007-2009. Our results show a pattern for these investment strategies. The portfolio consisting of insider transactions generates a positive return in equity in a negative market environment and the opposite reaction in a positive environment. The result for the portfolio consisting of stock recommendations show a positive return of equity in positive environment and the opposite effect in negative environment. The pattern that has been observed can be classified as an anomaly.

The purpose of this paper is to study Uno von Troil's book Bref rörande en resa til Island MDCCLXXII as part of the transfer of knowledge about Iceland to Sweden and Europe during the late 1700s. On the basis of discussions on travel books and the image of 'the other', 'I will argue that von Troil, using the skills he already had access to, as well as the skills he acquired after his trip, provides a multifaceted picture of Iceland. At the same time, I will examine how von Troil conveys information about Iceland both to a Swedish and a European audience and illustrate his network relationships and career aspirations..

This is a thesis about 9-12-year old girls and their leisure reading. The purpose of this study is to examine their reading experiences. The method we use is a combination of qualitative interviews and studies of literature. The thesis shows that there seem to be four basic needs in girls that can be satisfied by leisure reading; the need to develop language skills; the need to be entertained; the need to gain knowledge of the world and the need to get help to resolve personal issues. The interviews with nine girls show that they primarily read for fun and that the knowledge and insights that are conveyed in literature come in second place.
