The aim of this study is to create understanding of why companies should collaborate with artists and how artists and businesses build strong partnerships. We also want to understand the development of relations between the music industry and companies, together with the problems, possibilities and implications it has for both artists and corporate identity and brand. The music industry has been changing rapidly during the digital revolution and new problems and opportunities have emerged which the music industry can choose to either embrace or renounce. This study is made with a qualitative approach based on interviews with relevant individuals from the music industry. We have carefully chosen these individuals to counterpart different segments of the music industry and to execute our purpose from various perspectives.

The aim for this study was to examine betweenship as a phenomenon by focusing on identity. There is not very much research done on betweenship.

To analyze their stories I used two theoretical frameworks; identity and affinity groups.

Author: Madeleine Ahlström and Hanna PuontiTitle: To meet the invisible population - A qualitative study of men with deliberate self-injury [Att möta de osynliga - En kvalitativ studie om killar med självskadebeteende]Supervisor: Anders ÖstnäsAssessor: Jan Petersson This study aims to provide a picture of the underlying causes why men deliberately hurt themselves. It also aims to provide a picture revolving how men self-harm and what the direct effects are from their self-harm. The study describes their behaviour and how the behaviour has evolved over time. There is also a focus in the study to illustrate how society´s operative approach towards men makes their self-harm invisible, and make them an invisible population that neither the scientists nor the general population chooses to see. Self-injury is strongly associated with girls and their way of harming themselves.

The aim with this master thesis is to analyze a scientific material concerning the context between learning and child/student development, and factors which controls process of learning, to create an image with quality account and teaching in mathematics, which then can raise the mathematical knowledge among students.The phenomena which stand in focus for the investigation is: why there is a negative tendency for development of knowledge in mathematics, among the Swedish students that TIMSSs investigations showed in intercultural comparison within the years 1993, 1999, 2003 and 2007.The method is the ethnographical method, which is based on: analyzing scientific theories about learning child/student development, factors which controls process of learning, and factors which controls process of learning the most and qualitative empiric investigation with qualitatively analyzes the questionnaires, which is about factors which are controlling the process of learning and factors which are controlling the process of learning the most.Result of the theoretical and empiric analyzes shows that factors as school environment, attitude for subjects and teaching, controls and influence the learning. To end a unenthusiastic tendency as a negative development of mathematical knowledge among students that is shown in TIMSS investigation and to elevate the students' performance in mathematics, an elevated qualitative account and teaching in mathematics, by the factors named. Safe school environments as the intercultural meeting place, the teachers influence part to the students' subjects' attitude in mathematics and goal related grading criteria in teaching, is all required for e qualitative teaching in mathematics..

Syftet med studien var att beskriva subjektiva multifaktoriella metoder som sjuksköterskor kan använda för att identifiera äldre patienter med malnutrition och patienter med risk för att utveckla malnutriion. Syftet var vidare att redogöra för vilka undersökningar som sjuksköterskor i kliniskt arbete använder för att bedöma patienters nutrionsstatus med samt att belysa sjuksköterskors attityder till prevention av malnutritionstillstånd. Studien genomfördes som en systematisk litteraturstudie. De vetenskapliga artiklar (n=17) som ingick i studiens resultat söktes i databaserna ELIN@Dalarna och CINAHL. De sökord som användes var malnutrition, nutrition, undernutrition, elderly, screening, assessment, MNA, SGA, nurses och attitudes i olika kombinationer.

Syftet: Syftet med denna studie var att få en överblick över vilket vetenskapligt underlag som finns för huruvida den patientupplevda livskvalitén hos patienter med parodontit påverkas av den parodontala behandlingen. Material och metod: Sökning av studier gjordes i två databaser, PubMed och Cochrane. Dessa artiklar screenades sedan enligt förutbestämda kriterier först utifrån titel, sedan abstract och sist i sin helhet. Kvarvarande artiklar efter det ingick i analysen. Resultat: Sökningen i databaserna resulterade i 452 artiklar. Efter screening kvarstod 15 artiklar som lästes i sin helhet och 9 av dem ansågs passa in enligt de kriterier som fanns. Alla studier utom 2 hade endast använt sig av en generell metod för att mäta livskvalité, en studie hade använt sig av både en generell och en sjukdomsspecifik mätmetod och en studie hade använt sig av frågor som de själva hade utvecklat.

Bakgrund: Våld i nära relation är ett allvarligt och utbrett samhällsproblem. Våldsutsatta kvinnor kan söka hjälp överallt inom vården. Sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av att möta våldsutsatta kvinnor kan vara avgörande för identifiering och adekvat fortsatt vård. Syfte: Litteraturöversiktens syfte var att beskriva sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av att möta kvinnor som utsatts för våld i nära relation. Metod: Litteraturöversikt baserad på vetenskapliga artiklar sökta i databaserna PubMed och Cinhal.Totalt tolv kvalitativa och kvantitativa artiklar har kvalitetsgranskats, analyserats och sammanställts till ett resultat.

SammanfattningDet har tidigare visats att överviktiga patienter riskerar att bli förbisedda i screening för undernäring och att vårdpersonal har negativa uppfattningar om överviktiga individer. Det har även visats att överviktiga själva upplever att de behandlas sämre än andra. Men trots hög förekomst av undernäring bland sjukhusvårdade patienter har få studier utforskat om patienter med risk för undernäring får olika vårdinsatser beroende på deras BMI. Således är syftet med denna uppsats att undersöka om vårdinsatser vid identifierad risk för undernäring i någon utsträckning är beroende av patientens BMI.Datamaterialet kommer från en retrospektiv tvärsnittsstudie baserad på genomgång av 56 journaler för vuxna patienter med risk för undernäring, inlagda på somatisk vårdavdelning på tre svenska sjukhus. Denna studie undersöker möjliga skillnader beroende på patients BMI för förekomsten av 1) bedömning av mun och sväljförmåga, 2) kostregistrering, 3) dietistkonsultation, samt 4) kostanpassning.I detta begränsade urval finns inga sådana skillnader som uppfyller kraven på statistisk signifikans, men analysen påvisar några tendenser i datamaterialet som antyder att patienter kanske behandlas olika med avseende på BMI.

Stroke is one of the most common diseases in Sweden and the third most common cause of death (National guidelines concerning stroke, 2000). Dysphagia is a common problem for stroke patients with almost 50 percent of patients suffering from severe swallowing dysfunction (Axelsson, Asplund, Norberg & Eriksson, 1989). The purpose of this study was to investigate how stroke patients with dysphagia experience their swallowing disorders. The method used was a qualitative literature study. An analysis of content was carried out using ideas and inspiration from Graneheim and Lundman (2003).

Nutrition spelar en avgörande roll för den äldre vårdtagarens hälsa och välbefinnande. I och med att befolkningen i Sverige stiger i medellivslängd ökar också efterfrågan och behovet av vård. Äldreomsorgen är av denna anledning en växande verksamhet och distriktssköterskans roll, ansvar och kompetens gällande den äldre vårdtagarens nutritionsstatus kommer därmed att efterlysas i större utsträckning. Syftet med studien var att beskriva distriktssköterskans erfarenhet av att stödja äldre vårdtagares nutrition i äldreomsorgen. Utifrån studiens syfte användes forskningsintervjuer med kvalitativ induktiv ansats.
