Infectious Bronchitis (IB) is a highly contagious viral respiratory and productiondepressant disease distributed world wide. The disease is caused by the InfectiousBronchitis Virus (IBV), a positive RNA strand Avian Coronavirus within thegenus Gammacoronavirus. Due to a combination of high mutation rate and atendency of recombination a constant emergence of new genotypes and serotypesis seen. In Brazil, a country with an extensive poultry production and majorproblems with disease control, the diversity of circulating strains are wide andoutbreaks of clinical disease despite intensive use of vaccines are common. Theaim of this study was to investigate the presence of IBV and to identify genotypesof isolated IBVs in a limited number of layer flocks in Bastos, São Paulo, as partof the screening for circulating genotypes in the country.

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.

The aim of the study is to examine a book used as level-based teaching material, Denmagiska kulan (Wänblad, 2011), to analyse the progression within and between thedifferent levels, A, B and C, intended for use in grade 1. The material is designed so thatpupils at different levels in their reading development can share the same literature.Another aim is to study the connection between illustrations and text. This literaturestudy is based on both a qualitative and a quantitative method of analysis. Thequalitative method applies a readability analysis with the focus on the graphic form andthe language of the text. The quantitative method measures the LIX (readability index)of the texts.

A tough working climate and the lack of extrinsic motivation at workplaces within health care raise the question of what instead drives employees within this industry. A possible answer to this is Public Service Motivation (PSM) - a type of motivation that is based on the desire to do good for society and its individuals. In order to investigate this further we have performed a qualitative study consisting of ten interviews with people working with institutional care, where the purpose has been to identify the sources of motivation and determine the impact of PSM. The results show that the compassion dimension of PSM appears to be one of the most salient motivational factors. While the rest of the PSM dimensions fail to explain the level of motivation to the same extent as compassion, other factors are recognized, such as relatedness and aspects of the nature of the work itself.

In 2005 over 48 000 senior citizens fell so badly that the needed medical care and almost 1200 of them died. This makes falls in the elderly one of our biggest public health problems. Research in this area is extensive and although we know what causes a fall and how we in theory should work to prevent their occurrence, this is a problem that is increasing. There seems to be a gap between research and practice, and research into why this gap occurs is very narrow. The purpose of this study was to identify success factors with fall prevention from a staff- perspective.

Graviditetsdiabetes innebär diabetes som nyupptäcks under graviditeten. Graviditetsdiabetes innebär en förändring av det dagliga livet. Forskning har visat att förändringen medför både positiva och negativa upplevelser, dels ökad medicinsk uppmärksamhet beroende på sjukdomen, dels ett mer inrutat liv än tidigare eftersom kvinnan måste kontrollera sitt blodsocker upprepade gånger varje dag.. Därmed blir hon också hela tiden påmind om sin graviditetsdiabetes. Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur kvinnor som får diabetes under sin graviditet upplever sin situation.

Bakgrund: I Sverige föds det varje år ca 200 barn med LKG (läpp- käk- gomspalt). Ett rutinultraljud utförs i graviditetsvecka 18-20 på alla gravida kvinnor. Syftet med undersökningen är att datera graviditeten inte att diagnostisera organ och extremitets missbildningar. På grund av avancerad teknik upptäcks ibland LKG vid denna screening. Detta medför att kvinnorna redan tidigt i graviditeten vet att barnet de väntar har LKG.

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).

This thesis was rendered for the client HAGS Aneby AB that is a global leader in playground equipment. The goal of this project was to develop a seesaw that is available for children aged 5-12 years; both with and without disabilities. The project has aimed to develop a seesaw that fits everyone in the target group without looking specially adapted.Children with disabilities have difficulty using today's seesaws because they consist of only a seat and a handle on each side. It requires that the user has strong arms and legs and can sit up without support. HAGS Aneby AB would like to change this.To gain knowledge of the target group and on the different types of disabilities information was sought for on the internet including the RBU's and UNICEF's websites.

The aim of this studie centers on how lgbt (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) are portrayed in women?s magazines.
