Intensivvård definieras av högspecialiserad och högteknologisk vård. Patienter som vårdas på en intensivvårdsavdelning (IVA) är så kritiskt sjuka och/eller skadade att de inte kan vårdas på en vanlig vårdavdelning. Vårdmiljön utsätter patienten för flera yttre faktorer som kan leda till sömnstörning för patienten tillsammans med inre faktorer som stress, smärta och illamående. Intensivvårdssjuksköterskans specialistkompetens är att identifiera omvårdnadsproblem och utföra evidensbaserade omvårdnadsinterventioner för att förhindra komplikationer till följd av sömnstörning. Sömnen innebär flera läkande och uppbyggande processer som uteblir vid brist på sömn.

Anledningen till att detta arbete skrivs är för att vardagsbrottslighetens har en stor på-verkan på människors trygghets känsla i bostadsområdet. Vi har valt att studera två bostadsområden i Malmö, Bo01 samt Lindängen. Dessa två områden skiljer sig på så sätt att Bo01 är ett nybyggt område med bebyggelseplanering som brottspreventiv åt-gärd medan Lindängen är ett område byggt under miljonprogrammet och inget brotts-preventivt tänk har funnits i bilden vid byggandet av området. Uppsatsens huvudsyfte är att belysa den fysiska miljöns betydelse för brottsligheten i ett bostadsområde samt hur man kan hämma brott genom att bygga på ett brottsförebyggande sätt. Vi har gjort denna undersökning genom att studera gamla rapporter och utlåtanden från sakkunniga inom området och sammanställt våra slutsatser från dessa.

The main goal of this bachelor thesis is to present why boys and girls choose to enroll at the Swedish Baseball and Softball Academy, a form of sport profiled education given within the Swedish high school system. A secondary purpose is to present the types of expectations the adolescents have before enrollment, while also examining what they encounter as satisfaction factors during their time at the academy. The results show that the significant factors critical for the eventual enrollment are friends, passion and development within baseball or softball. Before the enrollment, students have expectations of good, quality and hard practices. The students state that factors such as friends and the community where the academy is located is important for their wellbeing and comfort.

Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att undersöka hur svensklärare arbetar med och tänker kring integrering av bild som estetisk uttrycksform i svenskundervisningen. Uppsatsens undersökning baseras på semistrukturerade kvalitativa intervjuer. Resultatet i uppsatsen visade att svensklärarna ser positivt på att anlägga estetiska perspektiv på undervisningen. Lärarna påtalade att användningen och arbetet med bild som estetisk uttrycksform bidrar till att stärka den enskilde elevens självförtroende samt språkliga förmåga. Resultatet visade även att svensklärarnas arbete med bild som estetisk uttrycksform främst koncentreras till att framhäva de språkliga aspekterna.

The purpose of the study is to see differences and development of two institutions for social care (work science) in two countries - the University of Lodz, Polen, and the University of Lund, Sweden.The central question is, if there is any convergence between these Institutions for Social care.The method has been to use both earlier research and to have two interviews. I did interviews with two professors working at two Universities, one with professor Ewa Marynowicz-Hetka at Lodz University and the other with professor Hans Swärd at the University of Lund. I started to study relevant literature and took part of secondary material in both countries.The main result of this study is that some convergence tendencies between those two trainings exist. All of them have connection with international cooperation. There are also same forces that stopped those tendencies; one of them is tradition on institutions..

The aim with this study is to investigate how the role of the teacher has changed and how society has influenced the teachers' situation in the 1960s and 2010s, with a focus on teaching in secondary school. Starting in the late 1980s when the concept of profession was introduced to the Swedish teachers, many claim that a deprofessionalization for teachers started at this time. Others say that already in the 1960s, the teachers status in the society started to decrease.The method I have used is a rethorical analysis of articles in Swedish Teacher Union Journals. I have also availed myself of one article in the newspaper and articles in online magazines. The rethorical analysis aims to investigate whether the articles give an enthusiastic or dystopian approach to the teaching role, in a similar way as Thomas Karlsohn have used the concepts..

Bakgrund: Skolsköterskan har genom sina återkommande hälsosamtal och hälsobesök en unik möjlighet att träffa alla elever och då ställa frågan om de blivit utsatta för våld i hemmet.

Syftet med studien var att belysa om och hur lärare i idrott och hälsa arbetar skadeförebyggande i undervisningen. Vi utgick från en kvalitativ metod och intervjuade åtta utbildade lärare med inriktning mot årskurs 6-9 i ämnet idrott och hälsa. Resultatet kopplas till Haddons (1980) strategier om skadeförebyggande arbete. Genom samtliga intervjuer framkom att lärare medvetet arbetar förebyggande med funktionella idrottsskador och integrerar det i undervisningen. Informanterna menar att det i första hand är aktiviteten som står i fokus och inte huruvida undervisningen sker inomhus eller utomhus men nämner att det finns skillnader i planering och utförande.

The first step of this thesis is to examine the ICT-based activities of upper secondary school students through an online survey. The second step is to examine what didactic implications can be derived from the ICT-based activities in the subject of Swedish.

Companies in the apparel industry are becoming increasingly responsible with regards to the social and environmental issues related to textile production. Despite these tendencies, there are great insecurities surrounding the concept of CSR and the effects on consumers of CSR communication. There is currently no model for breaking the concept of CSR down into smaller elements, specific for the apparel industry. In the first part of this thesis, we create such a model, applicable in a consumer communication context. In the second part, we investigate the effects on consumer attitudes and intentions of communicating the different elements of CSR presented in the model.
