Patienter upplever ofta att den information de får är felaktig. Felaktig på så sätt att det är för lite, för mycket, ingen alls, given vid fel tidpunkt, för komplicerad och given på ett fackspråk med många krångliga ord som patienten inte förstår. Syftet med den här litteraturstudien var att belysa vilket informationsbehov patienter med cancer kan ha. Studien baserades på 20 vetenskapliga artiklar och resultatet visar att de flesta patienter med cancer vill ha all tillgänglig information om såväl diagnos som behandling och även veta vilka valmöjligheter som finns. Det finns dock vissa som endast vill ha begränsad information varför det är viktigt att utvärdera varje patients informationsbehov.

Forskning har visat att vår primära tolkning samt graden av self-efficacy påverkar hur vi hanterar nya situationer och relaterar även till vårt psykiska välmående. Genom vår primära tolkning utvärderar vi en ny situation som hotfull, utmanade eller som en förlust.  I föreliggande studie var syftet att undersöka hur studenter från det beteendevetenskapliga programmet samt socionomprogrammet ser på sina möjligheter att få arbete efter avslutade studier kopplat till self-efficacy och deras primära tolkning av situationen som framtida arbetssökande. En enkätstudie genomfördes och det var 122 deltagare varav 57 socionomer. Resultatet visade att det inte fanns någon skillnad mellan programmen i den primära tolkningen som var relaterat till studenternas grad av self-efficacy.

This report is about helping Q-Med AB in Uppsala to start its implementation of uncertainty of measurements analyses in their manufacturing department. Prior to this, the company relied solely on personal experience or did not take this uncertainty into consideration at all during different kind of measurements, which means that some of the processes that the company previously believed were within specified acceptance limits, will actually fail when considering these sources of uncertainties.Q-Med AB needed some sort of instruction to help the company, in a systematic way, to investigate different types of disorders that are affecting all kinds of measurements. This instruction includes a short summary about measurements and uncertainty of measurements in general and a detailed procedure about how these uncertainties are going to be handled in their daily work.The goal was to be able to use this instruction to systematically locate, eliminate (when possible) and analyze all kinds of disorders when measuring. Q-Med is using a lot of different types of instruments when measuring different types of quantities, including temperature, mass, pressure and density. This instruction will hereafter be used for every instrument, regardless of quantity and type of instrument.The instruction is tested through 4 different kinds of measurements, for mass, temperature and humidity.
