Abstract Road cycling is well established and has always been described as a highly endurance sport. To be able to compete in such a demanding sport the physiology of the athletes needs to be greatly developed. This review will focus on high intensity interval training and its impact on the physiological characteristics of competitive road cyclists. The main difference between different levels of competitive road cyclists seems to be the capacity to maintain a high sub maximal power output over a long period of time in order to succeed. High intensity interval training, from 30 seconds to 5 minutes, leads to improved VO2peak, aerobic peak power and time trial performance.

AbstractSyftet med studien är att få fördjupad kunskap i elevers användande av skriftspråket och hur ny teknik gör det möjligt att vidga språket. Studien är kvalitativ och är en jämförelse av elevers uppsatser i de nationella proven i svenska 1999 och 2010. Vi har sökt efter likheter och skillnader i 44 uppsatser, samt kategoriserat och analyserat olika delar av chatt- och SMSspråket. Detta resultat har vi sedan redovisat i löpande text, med citat ifrån elevernas texter för att öka förståelsen hos läsaren samt sätta in orden i en kontext. Resultatet av undersökningen visar att det fanns spår av chatt- och SMSspråk redan 1999 men att i vissa hänseenden skiljer det sig från de spår vi kan finna i 2010 års texter.

Abstract: Den här uppsatsen handlar om gruppen lindrigt utvecklingsstörda. Mitt syfte med uppsatsen är att försöka få en inblick om hur en lindrigt utvecklingsstörd person kan se på sig själv samt hans/hennes omgivning och vad det är för faktorer som hjälper till att skapa den här synen. För att ta reda på detta har jag använt mig av kvalitativ metod i form av intervjuer som jag har gjort med fyra lindrigt utvecklingsstörda män. När jag analyserade materialet visade det sig bland annat att samtliga personer som jag intervjuat haft stabila familjeförhållanden men att detta inte automatiskt kan kopplas till personernas funktionsnedsättning. De umgås både med personer som har funktionsnedsättningar och med personer som inte har någonfunktionsnedsättning och värderar relationen till icke funktionsnedsatta personer högt.

AbstractSyftet med uppsatsen var att göra en jämförelse för att se om Montessoripedagogikens syn på bemötande av barn med koncentrationssvårigheter stämmer överens med moderna riktlinjer gällande bemötande av barn med koncentrationssvårigheter och i så fall hur. Fokus i syftet ligger särskilt på hur den pedagogiska miljön och det fysiska rummet förbereds. Uppsatsen är en jämförande, kvalitativ litteraturstudie med fokus på Montessoripedagogikens grundprinciper och moderna riktlinjer gällande bemötande av barn med koncentrationssvårigheter. Datainsamlingen har utförts med en grundad teori och analysen har gjorts med stöd av den hermeneutiska cirkeln. Litteratur som analyserats och jämförts är fem fackböcker och en artikel om barn med koncentrationssvårigheter, en fackbok om Montessoripedagogiken, en hemsida om Montessoripedagogiken och en avhandling om Montessoris sinnestränande materiel.

AbstractBackground: When an acute illness or trauma occurs, life becomes disorganised and shattered for the critically ill person and his/her family members. The family members are confronted with thoughts about life and death which can cause stress and anxiety. How the family members cope with the crisis is individual and depending on personality and earlier experiences. Aim: The purpose of this literary review was to illustrate the family members´ experiences when dealing with a critically ill family member. Method: A literary review was made based on fifteen qualitative and quantitative scientific articles and a literary book.

The aim of this masters thesis is to examine the picture book canonization process in pre-schools. To succeed in this I have examined what pre-school staff believe to be the criteria of a good picture book. Together with an observation of the pre-schools current collection, other factors which can influence the collection of the picture book are included. This constitutes the foundation for a description of the pre-school picture book canon. To pursue this goal, I have used the methodology of focus group interviews with staff from two pre-schools in a middle-sized town.

ABSTRACT:Begreppet ?våld i nära relationer? associeras ofta med medelålderspar som befinner sig i enohälsosam relation där det förekommer fysiskt våld såsom sparkar och slag. Genom att gådjupare inom ämnet kan vi se att begreppet omfattar ett betydligt större problemområde än så,vad gäller både gruppen av utsatta samt flertalet existerande våldstyper. Dennalitteraturöversikt fokuserar på våld riktat mot en av samhällets mest utsatta grupper, nämligenvåra äldre. Baserat på befintlig internationell samt nationell forskning har här sammanställtsen översikt av denna omfattande men ofta förbisedda problematik.

ABSTRACTIn an intermediate section at a large university hospital are patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) cared for. There are international, national and local guidelines how nutrition therapy should be implemented and how much energy each patient should be given when hospitalized. The purpose of this study was to examine the documentation and actions on nutrition in patients with SAH and to see if guidelines on nutrition were followed. The study was a quantitative, retrospective record review that was analyzed statistically and descriptive. 26 patients were included.

ABSTRACT The persons whom the authorized nurse encounters in hospital wards and nursing homes are in great extent elderly persons. According to Wasserman (2000), about 30 to 40 percent among these, show signs of depression. To be aware of the signs of depression, and how an authorized nurse can support the patient is therefore of great value. The introduction to this study describes the symptoms of depression and how depression in elders is expressed. It also describes treatment possibilities and nursing aspects of concern.

Abstract   The actions of Sweden during the second world war has been richly discussed over the years. Sweden declared itself neutral in the war between the great powers but did not manage to maintain its neutrality. The nature of neutrality has often been discussed; whether it is of a idealistic or more pragmatic nature. Realism, a theory of international relations, would argue that it is of a more pragmatic nature, hence these two are in opposition. Realism also takes credit in claiming to explain how and why a state chooses to act in a situation. The aim of this essay was to, by examining specific decisions made by the swedish government during the Second World War, come to a conclusion whether or not Sweden?s proclaimed neutrality was of idealistic or pragmatic nature, and thereby possibly coming to a conclusion about neutrality in large.It was also to examine the worth of realism as an explanatory theory by applying it to this specific case; to examine its validity.The study was conducted using a qualitative method; presenting empiric facts and then by using a decision model interpreting the actions and results from a realist perspective. The study concludes that realism has explanatory power, although not a complete one.

Författare: Sofie Dahlberg & Linda Rudolfsson Handledare: Ann- Sofie Råstam Datum: 2005-12-30 Bakgrund: Vi valde ämnesområdet för att vi anser att kunskap om krishantering i skolan och barns sorgreaktioner saknas i vår utbildning. Är det tabu att prata om kriser, sorg och död i skolan? Syfte: Vårt syfte är att undersöka hur lärare i skolan bör agera vid krissituationer, som t. ex.

AbstractIngvor Stagling: Wilhelm Stenhammar och Den signade dag. Från uppteckning till rapsodi. C-uppsats vid institutionen för musikvetenskap, Uppsala universitet. Vt 2001.Med utgångspunkt i Bo Wallners frågeställningar kring Stenhammars orkesterrapsodi Midvinter undersöks den folkliga koralen Den signade dag från uppteckning 1902 till rapsodi 1907, med en odaterad fyrstämmig koralsats som mellanled. Stenhammars uppteckning av Moratraditionens Den signade dag, meddelad av en ung Zornmodell, visar melodisk överensstämmelse med en tidigare (1887) och en senare uppteckning (1922) av Moratraditionen, men har en rytmiskt individuell utformning.

ABSTRACTAim: The aim of this study was to examine differences in the documentation of the case incident reports, before (FRP) and after (FRE) the introduction of a quality standard for fall prevention in the geriatric departments at a Swedish University hospital. Method: 51 fall incident reports were collected before the introduction of quality standards for fall prevention and 63 after. Differences in documentation between the fall incident reports were analyzed with a Chi-2 test. Results: Number of case incidents in which the use of the alarm mat was documented increased after the introduction of quality standards for fall prevention and documented use of shoes and walker decreased. The majority of all documented case incidents occurred inside the patient room according to both FRP and FRE.

    Abstract The aim of this paper is to highlight experiences gained by psychotherapists in their work with young adults.  Aspects looked at include: recurring themes, the process of diagnosing young adults, the therapeutic alliance, and the therapeutic techniques.  Six experienced psychodynamic therapists were interviewed, and a semi-structured interview method was used. The results show a high level of agreement between the therapists as to their experiences and conclusions of psychotherapy with young adults.Results presented in this paper suggest that there is a difference between psychodynamic therapy used with young adults, and the more traditional psychodynamic therapy.  The most important difference turned out to be the approach of the therapist toward the patient, where a more active and distinct approach by the therapist to the here-and-now situation was to be preferred. All six therapists came out strongly against the use of the DSM manual when diagnosing young adults. The importance of understanding young adults and their difficulties from a psychological development point of view was stressed, as well as the importance of taking the approach that the years of young adulthood bring their own issues and concerns. It is clear from these interviews that there is a strong need for the establishment of institutions or centres specifically tailored to meet the needs of young adults for psychotherapeutic treatment at an early stage and in an adequate way, in order to avoid unnecessary ?pathologising? of their specific problems.  .
