De närstående vårdar ofta en person som lever med demens under en tid i hemmet, men till slut blir situationen ohållbar och de tvingas ta ett emotionellt tungt beslut att flytta personen till ett äldreboende. Syftet med studien var att beskriva närståendes upplevelser av att överlämna omvårdnad av person med demens till professionella vårdare. Åtta studier valdes ut från databaserna Academic search, Cinahl och Medline. Dessa kvalitetsgranskades innan de analyserades med en kvalitativ innehållsanalys med manifest ansats. Analysen resulterade i fem kategorier: Att känna skuld, skam och sorg över att överlämna vården till andra, att söka lindring för den emotionella bördan, att det är skrämmande när personen försämras, att vilja vara säker på att personen vårdas bra, samt att vilja vara delaktig i vården.

Olika studier visar att animalieproduktionen, sett ur ett livscykelperspektiv, är en energikrävande verksamhet som tar stora markarealer i anspråk. I västvärlden konsumeras i genomsnitt större kött- och proteinmängder än vad kroppen behöver ur näringssynpunkt. Syftet med studien är att ur ett livscykelperspektiv och för svenska förhållanden kvantifiera den användbara energi från förnyelsebara resurser som kan ersätta användningen av fossila resurser, vid en minskad konsumtion av mjölk, nöt- och fläskkött motsvarande 5 kg protein per person och år. Detta motsvarar ca 15 % av dagens totala proteinkonsumtion i Sverige, 33 kg per person och år, och ca 23 % av dagens konsumtion av animaliskt protein, 22 kg per person och år. Det rekommenderade intaget av protein är 20 kgper person och år.

During the last decades the housing sector has increased continuously, and housings and services accounted for 40 % of the energy usage in Sweden during 2011. The expansion in number of buildings in society has resulted in an increase in both energy usage and emissions of greenhouse gases. It is crucial to enable a sustainable development of society and as a result, the demand to reduce the emissions of carbon dioxide is a current question. In this study, the carbon dioxide emitted from the housing sector in Stockholm is estimated. The housing sector can be divided into different types of houses such as apartment blocks, single-family houses and holiday houses. By collecting information of the energy purchased in respective households, a computational model is generated that calculates the total emission of carbon dioxide.

This trend results in that software, which was previously sold and distributed to the customers whom then had to install the software on their own computers, now is being replaced with Software as a Service (SaaS). SaaS makes software available through the customers? browsers, which results in that the service providers only have to administer a single application. The process to migrate a distributed application to a service delivered as a SaaS lacks sufficient investigation; this paper will provide some guidelines for conducting such a pro- cess.
