The aim of this study is to investigate variations of conceptions among prison librarians, concerning mediation of information from an ethical perspective. We have performed interviews with nine librarians and used the phenomenographic approach when analyzing the material. Sixteen categories of conceptions were found, distributed on four aspects of the phenomenon, the act of mediating information to inmates. The results show a variety of conceptions among the librarians. The four aspects cover conceptions about the inmates as users of the library services in prisons, conceptions about the information need of the inmates, conceptions concerning policies, guidelines and laws and conceptions about information access in the prisons.

This essay deals with the same task that utilitarians have tried to solve for a long time, what is happiness? In the eighteenth-century utilitarians suggested that happiness should be the base for social political decisions. But the lack of definition disposed so that GDP became the measurement of happiness, which proved to be wrong when the unhappiness continued to increase. More than two hundred years later scientists came up with a new definition of happiness and new ways to measure it. And during the last decade economists have taken the discussion to a higher level.So once again we?re dealing with the same old issue, if happiness ought to be the base of social political decisions.

Bakgrund: Smärta är ett vanligt problem hos intensivvårdspatienter till följd av kirurgi, trauma, invasiva procedurer och omvårdnadsåtgärder. Sjuksköterskan har ett viktigt ansvar att bedöma smärta och utvärdera smärtbehandling. Bedömningen försvåras av att många patienter har svårt att kommunicera för att de är intuberade, trakeostomerade, sederade, medvetandesänkta och/eller kognitivt påverkade. Flera bedömningsinstrument och publicerade rekommendationer finns tillgängliga, ändå visar tidigare studier på brister i sjuksköterskors bedömning och dokumentation av smärta samt utvärdering av smärtbehandling. Syfte: Att undersöka intensivvårdssjuksköterskors uppfattning om bedömning av smärta hos patienter med kommunikationssvårigheter.

Syftet med uppsatsen var att undersöka pedagogers syn på bild- och formskapande i förskolan. De frågeställningar som besvarades var: Hur använder sig pedagogerna av bildskapandet i förskolan? Varför använder pedagogerna bildskapande i sitt arbete? Skiljer sig tankarna om bildskapandet hos pedagogerna i den allmänna förskolan gentemot Reggio Emilia- inspirerade förskolor? Till undersökningen gjordes tio kvalitativa intervjuer med fem pedagoger ur vardera grupp. Intervjuerna spelades in och transkriberades för att kunna analyseras. Vi fann inte så många skillnader mellan grupper.

The aim of this master's thesis is to study how the design of the music library space affects how it is used and its role as an arena for culture. This is done in form of a case study of Library 10 in Helsinki, a public library branch that specializes in music and information technology. The backdrop to the study is the changing context for cultural activity in the information society and the role of public libraries as public space and meeting place. By analyzing the distribution of space in the library, the distribution of functions and artefacts and the spatial use of the room, I interpret the ways in which this distributional logic produces a unique place for music and culture. I discuss the music library design in a space and place perspective, utilizing theoretical tools from cultural geography and the space theories of Henri Lefebvre.

Studien har syftat till att undersöka samband mellan samsjuklig psykologisk problematik och katastroftänkande hos ungdomar utifrån ett transdiagnostiskt perspektiv. Katastroftänkandets roll för förändring av social ångest och depressiva symtom undersöktes utifrån en studie av internetbaserad KBT-behandling mot social fobi (N=18).  Resultatet indikerar att ungdomar med hög initial nivå av katastroftänkande har större reduktion av depressiva symtom än ungdomar med låg nivå av katastroftänkande. Detta talar för att hänsyn bör tas till grad av katastroftänkande vid utformning av behandling för personer med social fobi, särskilt vid samsjuklighet med depression. Kopplingen mellan katastroftänkande och samsjuklighet undersöktes utifrån en tvärsnittsstudie av gymnasieungdomar (N=713).  Resultatet visar på en koppling mellan katastroftänkande och social rädsla, sömnproblematik och nedstämdhet..
