Skräckgenren ses ofta som den mest extrema filmgenren. Det är genren som sticker många i ögonen, då man där hittar allt det en annan genre väljer bort, eller snarare undviker. Man tänjer på gränserna. Varför tittar man på skräckfilm, vad kan man tänkas få ut av det? Är skräcken enbart till för att skrämma oss eller kan det faktiskt komma något gott ur den? I detta arbete har vi forskat kring hur filmindustrin jobbar med skräck. Hur den från dess start gått från harmlös till de idag ofta extrema filmerna som finns i hyllan, som kan röra runt i både vårt samvete och på en moralisk nivå. Vi har dessutom fokuserat på skräcken utifrån ett psykologiskt perspektiv för att utforska människans rädslor och få reda på hur filmindustrin arbetar med skräckgenren för att trycka på våra ömma knappar.

This essay describes my work as a director in a specialized orientation within psychodrama, surrealistic psychodrama. Using the language and performance techniques of theater and under the guidance of a director, psychodrama creates an improvised narrative or story. The essay describes several dramas I have directed, reflecting on my actions and choices as a director and group leader. I examine whether my working method has allowed me to be spontaneous and creative, which I believe the example of "The dangerous bear" demonstrates. The process enabled me to establish trust and receptivity so that a newly constituted group dared to investigate conflicts in symbolic ways associated with illness and death.

Children and youth inactivity and sedentary at school is increasing. This means that some of the students have a significant unhealthy lifestyle with physical inactivity, which in turn implies risks of suffering from various diseases, including obesity, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, all related to a sedentary lifestyle. To prevent illness, it is important that children and young people early get a positive attitude towards physical activity.The purpose of this study was to study the causes of child and adolescent physical inactivity in school, based on teachers 'and parents' perspectives.A qualitative research has been selected. To achieve the study objectives, the author has conducted seven semi-structured interviews, with an appropriate choice of five teachers and two parents with children in school. Data was analyzed with a manifest content analysis.The results show that teachers and parents felt that physical activity is a protective factor for children's health.

Uppsatsens namn lyder på följande sätt: Hur mycket måste jag anstränga mig egentligen? - En studie om ungdomars upplevda psykiska ohälsa i relation till skola och framtidsval. Studien är skriven av Melissa Gülünay och Mirela Koljenovic som läser sitt tredje år på Södertörns Högskola. Syftet med denna uppsats är att få en förståelse för hur studierna i skolan och de framtidsval som studiens intervjupersoner ställs inför kan ha ett samband till deras upplevda psykiska ohälsa i form av oro och ångest. För att kunna svara på denna fråga kommer  uppsatsen i sin tur att belysa fenomenet individualisering som står för utformningen av samhället och de olika institutionerna så som skola och arbete.

Bakgrund: Patienter som återfinns inom den psykiatriska vårdkontexten och som lider av samtidig psykisk ohälsa och substansbrukssyndrom, eller dubbeldiagnos, riskerar att mötas av stigmatiserande förhållningssätt på grund av okunskap och förutfattade meningar. Syfte: Syftet med denna studie var att, genom att intervjua patienter med dubbeldiagnos, belysa deras upplevelser av vårdares bemötande inom den psykiatriska vården. Metod: För att få en djupare förståelse av fenomenet bemötande användes en fenomenologisk-hermeneutisk metod efter inspiration av Lindseth och Norberg (2004). Tre forskningspersoner intervjuades om sina upplevelser av bemötande inom psykiatrisk vård. Resultat: I resultatet framträdde fyra teman; att vara i underläge; att bli medveten om sitt sammanhang; att bli väl mottagen och att bli sedd som en person.
