SAMMANFATTNING                                                                                             Syftet med interventionsstudien var att undersöka om ROAG (revised oral assessment guide) munbedömningsinstrument förbättrade sjuksköterskor bedömning av cancerpatienters munhälsa på en palliativ vårdenhet.Metoden hade en kvasiexperimentell design med en journalgranskning före och efter en intervention. Interventionen bestod av en kortare utbildning av munhälsa samt införandet av ROAG munbedömningsinstrumentet.Resultatet visade att både bedömningar och åtgärder av munhälsan har ökat statistiskt signifikant jämfört med före interventionen på den palliativa vårdenheten, resultatet visar också att det inte alltid finns rätt koppling mellan symtom och åtgärd.Slutsats ROAG munbedömningsinstrument är ett bra verktyg för sjuksköterskor att använda för att bedöma munhälsan på en palliativ vårdenhet, men det räcker inte bara med ROAG munbedömningsinstrument utan det behövs kontinuerlig utbildning för att förbättra bedömningar och åtgärder ..

Learning Resource Centre, or LRC, is an international phenomenon and a response to the changing society that came with the development of information technology. The LRC concept spread internationally during the 1990s and began to influence Swedish collage libraries at the end of the decade. The main purpose of this study is to analyze if and how Swedish college libraries have incorporated the LRC concept. Is there a Swedish LRC model? Is the LRC concept still interesting or was it a trend that is now out of date? Interviews with eleven people from six college libraries aim to show how they define the concept LRC and how it has been integrated in to their organisations.

Syftet med denna studie är att ta reda på hur arbetet med Skol-Komet gick till i arbetslagen som gick kursen och hur handledningen följdes och förstods, vid en mellanstor skola i Mellansverige, samt hur det fortskred efter avslutad kurs, relaterat till kursmaterialet.Detta görs genom observationer av den egna undervisningen, kvalitativa intervjuer av pedagoger och textanalys av handledningen. Resultatet visar att handledningen uppfattas som lätt att förstå, även om inte alla områden prövas och valda delar används efter avslutad kurs. Tendenser som anas, trots det ringa urvalet, är att återträffar behövs för vidmakthållandet och för att få en större programtrohet. Arbetet visar också på relevans för användandet av Skol-Komet, när det gäller uppförandeproblem av olika slag, både genom studier av litteratur och i det praktiska arbetet..

The purpose of this Bachelor thesis is to examine how children describe their experiences of their own reading, with focus on different aspects of reading: Choice of reading, reading environment, response to reading and book talk. Our aim is also to examine which approaches to reading their stories illustrate. The research is founded on semi-structured interviews with six children aged 10, in connection with book talks.

The main topic of this thesis is to evaluate the impact on the usability of web pages when using responsive web design, a concept for developing web pages whose design adapts to the screen size being used. This is done by creating a responsive prototype based on an existing web site. A number of usability tests are conducted on the two versions of the site in order to compare the time to complete the tests and to observe the behaviour of the test participants. The tests are conducted on desktop as well as on mobile devices with varying screen size.The number of test participants was relatively low, and so the quantitative result is not statistically valid. However, the conclusion is that the most effective combination is to use either of the sites on desktop format.

The purpose of this research has been to study and find out if a diagnose AD/HD is of importance. Does a diagnostic significance matter for how to support and respond to children in school? Are diagnosed children with signs of AD/HD treated differently than children without diagnosis? My study is based on input from teachers, special educators, from two different schools and also one doctor and one parent.I have interviewed teachers, special educators, one physician and one parent. I have been using qualitative interviews with tape recorders and emailed them with open questions. I have been using literature; see bibliography.

Introduktion: Barnmorskan uppmanar rutinmässigt gravida kvinnor att avstå från alkohol men diskuterar inte den blivande pappans alkoholvanor. Inskrivningen på MVC ger en unik möjlighet både för den gravida kvinnan och den blivande pappan att reflektera kring alkoholvanor under graviditeten, inför föräldraskapet och alkoholproblem inom släkten.Syfte: Att undersöka om samtal med båda de blivande föräldrarna leder till reducerad alkoholkonsumtion under graviditet och om psykosocialt stöd från främst blivande pappan har betydelse för valet av alkoholfri graviditet och om han får motsvarande stöd av henne till minskat drickande.Metod: Kvasiexperimentell studie inom ordinarie MVC-verksamhet. I interventionsgruppen deltog 238 par. I två olika kontrollgrupper deltog tillsammans 413 par. Muntlig och skriftlig information i interventionsgruppen gavs före inskrivning på MVC och båda parterna fyllde i frågeformulär vid inskrivningen.

The character of a pattern carries through to the context in which it is placed. Each pattern tells a story. By interpreting our surroundingenvironments we become inspired, and the patterns in turn can become part of our own narratives. This project was fuelled by my fascination and desire to explore patterns. My method of exploration was based on prior knowledge of patterns and interior design.The question became how can I apply my knowledge of interior design to pattern design and how could I best translate the brief intoa language of colour and shapes? The aim was to develop my knowledge of pattern design as well as to use this opportunity to combine my design methods with those of a professional designer.

A survey was conducted covering the student?s personal experiences and opinions. Furthermore, an interface test of the website was performed.
