Bakgrund: I en befolkning där medelåldern ökar finns risk för ett ökat antal äldre med demenssjukdom. Demens är ett samlingsnamn för sjukdomar som medför minnessvårigheter och personlighetsförändring, vilket i sin tur kan sänka livskvaliteten. Syfte: var att beskriva aspekter av vad livskvalitet kan vara för personer med demens på särskilt boende. Metod: Detta är en litteraturstudie med deskriptiv design. Nio artiklar som besvarade studiens syfte valdes från databaserna Cinahl och Medline.

SammanfattningBakgrund: 1995 års psykiatrireform har inneburit en förändring där den psykiatriska vården numera bedrivs till största del inom primär-/ öppenvården och från patientens hem. Anhöriga till personer med psykisk sjukdom har fått en ny roll, från att ha varit utestängda från psykiatrin ska de numera ses som en resurs och vara en del av sin närståendes vård. Konsekvensen av detta har medfört att anhöriga känner ett stort ansvar för deras nära som är psykiskt sjuk.  Att dela vardagen med en närstående som är psykiskt sjuk kan medföra en påverkan på det dagliga livet i form av konstant oro och stress men även påfrestningar på familjerelationerna.Syfte: Syftet är att belysa upplevelser hos anhöriga till personer med psykisk ohälsa samt deras erfarenheter av kontakten med den psykiatriska vården.Metod: Litteraturöversikt bestående av 12 stycken kvalitativa artiklar granskade enligt Fribergs (2012a) steg för analys. Funna likheter har sammanställts i teman och subteman. Den teoretiska utgångspunkt som valdes är Joyce Travelbees mellanmänskliga relation då den beskriver mötet mellan människor och förklarar etablerandet av en vårdrelation.Resultat: Anhöriga upplevde sig ha ett behov av bekräftelse, få tydlig information, känna delaktighet och bli erbjudna stöd för att lindra bördan.

This thesis examines the possibility of Bolivian indigenous women?s social movements? getting their demands of a gender equal society fulfilled in the new state which was initiated in 2005 when Evo Morales became the first president representing the indigenous people of the country. By using a qualitative method I have showed that although the Bolivian indigenous women?s social movements? historically has been significant political actors for social change in the country, with representation at both regional and national level, Bolivian women are still subordinated in the social and political sphere. By applying a feminist intersectional perspective which takes its point of departure in a understanding of power as multidimensional, where gender, ethnicity and class are constitutive principals, multiculturalism theories and a social movements theory framework, I have found that even if institutional changes, that opened the system increased the indigenous women?s social movements political participation in Bolivia, power structures based on gender limited their possibilities to influence both socially and politically.

Our purpose was to examine how social workers, within the child- and youth psychiatry, works with aggressive children and which theoretical perspectives they use. The questions we wanted to examine were how they worked with these children, how they motivated their work and which theoretical perspectives they used. The method that was used was a qualitative interview, where six social workers were interviewed. The result showed that their work foremost was based on conversation methods and all social workers emphasized the importance of a near cooperation with the parents since they considered that parents had the strongest influence on the children. Some social workers focused foremost on altering children's aggressive behavior while others focused on understanding the meaning of the behavior.

When you talk with the municipal housing companies today there is a general view that theyare doing all the work when it comes to social responsibilities in the municipalities, theprivate landlords only have a focus on profit. The private landlords doesn't agree but says thatthey take a social responsibility, at the same time there is a difference in what socialresponsibility is. By looking at how the picture of CSR and its use is seen today we analyzewhy the opinions and definitions about social responsibility differ. We also look at CSR in itslocal adaptation in Sweden's special conditions at the same time as we compare it to CSR inEurope and the world. We thereby create an analysis of how CSR is perceived, prioritized anddeveloped in Sweden to see the root of the disagreements.In our study we show how different views and roles in the community influence the picture ofCSR in Sweden.

In my degree project I have chosen to write about the social interactions in children?s play. Iwanted to study their free play and the time when their teachers tell them what to play to seewhat their social interactions look like. The purpose with my research is to study whathappens in the social interactions in their different playing situations.I performed three observations of the free play and three observations of the guided play at apreschool to study what social interactions that takes place in the different playing situations.What happens and what patterns can I find in their play.In my research I had some questions that this project rests upon:What happens in the social interactions in the different playing situations?How do the children?s different social interactions look?The children that I have observed showed me that when they are interacting they especiallyuse their cognitive abilities, because an interaction needs a certain mental development.

The aim of this study was to gain a greater understanding of what social workers perceive to be mentally demanding and emotionally challenging work, and which strategies they use to handle it. I chose to interview six social workers, three of them had long experience of social work, and three of them had worked for less than a year. The justification for this choice wasthat I wanted to interview people with different experience of social work over time, to be able to see possible differences in what was perceived as mentally demanding and emotionally challenging work, and how it was handled. The social workers were interviewed with a semi structured interview manual.The results showed that the organization of the social service is not fitted to the work that social workers execute. This means that what is perceived as mentally demanding and emotionally challenging work largely depends on this.

Psykiatrireformen 1995 bidrog till att samhällsinsatserna ökade för personer med psykisk ohälsa inom områden som boenden och sysselsättningar. Handlingsplaner och mål skapades för att hela Sveriges befolkning skulle få möjlighet att känna delaktighet och ha inflytande i samhället. Socialt stöd har påvisat ha stor betydelse i samband med återhämtning och integration i samhället. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur personer med psykisk ohälsa uppfattar socialt stöd från eget perspektiv och vilka erfarenheter de har av det. Genom en kvalitativ metod genomfördes sex semistrukturerade intervjuer där data samlades in.

Social inlärning influeras av interaktioner, eller observationer, av en artfrände eller dennes produkter. Beteendet och närvaron av en artfrände kan påverka beteendet hos en individ, vilket i sin tur kan leda till överföring av nya beteendemönster i en population. De domesticerade djurens kapacitet för social inlärning, samt effekterna av detta, är stora frågor inom husdjurens skötsel och välfärd. För värphöns är det viktigt att undersöka om skadliga beteendemönster, som kannibalism och fjäderplockning, är resultat av social inlärning. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att granska den domesticerade hönans (Gallus gallus domesticus) kapacitet för att dra lärdom via social inlärning.
