BAKGRUND: Anorexia nervosa är latin och betyder ?nervös aptitlöshet? och det som präglar sjukdomen är självförvållad svält. Sjukdomen börjar vanligtvis med en bantning för att gå ned i vikt som spårar ur.  Anorexia nervosa förkommer hos cirka 1 % unga kvinnor, vilka också är de som drabbas i störst utsträckning. En rad allvarliga somatiska komplikationer kan ses till följd av sjukdomen som i svåra fall kan leda till döden.  Sjukdomen är individuell och det finns av den anledningen ingen självklar behandling. SYFTE: Syftet med studien är att beskriva kvinnors upplevelser av vändpunkter vid anorexia nervosa efter tillfrisknande.

Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att belysa behandlares uppfattningar om syskon och partners upplevelser av att ha en nära person med en ätstörning, samt betydelsen av att involvera dem i den drabbades behandling. Studien genomfördes med en kvalitativ metod där semistrukturerade intervjuer utfördes med 6 behandlare på olika ätstörningsverksamheter i Sverige. Resultat och slutsats visade att syskon och partners, samt andra närstående, är betydelsefulla för patientens tillfriskande. Det är viktigt att syskon och partners involveras i behandling, och att de får information om sjukdom och behandling. Syskon ska inte anta en ansvarsroll, medan partner behöver ta ett visst ansvar i vardagen.

In Sweden, a big part of the energy use is used in the housing sector. Political goals and targets are set up which the housing sector needs to work towards. Apartment buildings are a major part of the housing sector in Sweden and therefore reduction of energy use in these kinds of buildings are key to lower the energy use in Sweden. But there are not only political incentives to reduce the energy use. Some energy?saving measures are directly profitable and should thus be performed.

Att kolhydratuppladda är att fylla kroppens muskler med energi, vilken används för att patienten ska klara av kroppens stressrespons i samband med fasta och operation. Kliniskt får patienten dricka näringsdryck innan operation för att kolhydratuppladda. Inför ett kirurgiskt ingrepp genomgår patienten en förändring i vardagen, lämnar hemmet och kommer till en ovan miljö. Att patienten genomgår fasta och upplever en ny situation påverkar patientens välbefinnande negativt, med både hunger, törst och oro och så vidare. I denna litteraturstudie kommer tio artiklar att granskas för att undersöka, effekterna få en preoperativ kolhydratuppladdning fokus i studien ligger på omvårdnad och välbefinnande men den tar även upp effekter som inte är direkt relaterade till omvårdnadsämnet men knyter an till vården.

My objective for this project was to create a short but thrilling 2D-animation intended as promotion for an online comic book. The purpose of the project was to learn more about animation and graphics, to further my artistic skills and to learn how to work in Adobe After Effects. I also wanted to learn more about scheduling, project methods and how to handle stress. During the ten weeks of the project I have created the story, the storyboard, the character design, the backgrounds and the animation. The voice over was recorded with the help of a fellow student who also made the music and the sound effects.

To be able to assess the players? physiological status the tests must have high validity, reliability and external validity. Many different tests have been developt, but currently only five of these tests are most commonly used: Yo-Yo intermittent recovery test (YIRT), Yo-Yo intermittent endurance test (YIET), Multi-sprint-test, Beep-test and Cooper-test. Presently there is no definitive conclusion regarding which of these tests is most suitable for soccer players.

Generalised stiffness, lameness and fatigue were the most frequent manifestations of the disease.

Incident response plans are faced with new challenges as organisations expands to the cloud, this thesis aims to highlight these challenges and their potential solutions. Our work has focused on managing the incident response in contrast to earlier work that has been focusing on preventing them.As with any development, security is seldom prioritized. Instead the focus are often aimed towards usability and functionality, which means incident response plans are written, implemented, forgotten and finally becomes obsolete. This could result in an organization losing their ability to produce acceptable forensic images, avoid severe downtime, or prevent similar incidents in the future, which are all important parts of incident response.Traditional incident response plans does not address incidents in the cloud. Thus, an absence of guidelines for managing incidents in the cloud becomes apparent.

Bakgrund: Postoperativ återhämtning har stor betydelse för en individs upplevelse av ett kirurgiskt ingrepp. Begreppet återhämtning är ett komplext begrepp och innebörden skiljer sig mellan patienterna och även mellan vårdpersonal. Vid bedömning av postoperativ återhämtning är det viktigt att bedömaren använder sig av ett validerat instrument som täcker flera aspekter av återhämtningen.Syfte: Vårt syfte med studien var att i litteraturen identifiera bedömningsinstrument för uppföljning av patientens postoperativa återhämtning.Metod: För att besvara syftet gjordes, i denna pilotstudie, en systematisk litteraturstudie med sökning i databaserna Chinal och PubMed.Resultat: Denna pilotstudie resulterade i att 11 instrument kunde identifieras som på olika sätt bedömer patientens postoperativa återhämtning. Ur dessa bedömningsinstrument kunde 6 huvudkategorier med bedömningsfaktorer urskiljas. Dessa var; smärta, fysiologiska faktorer, fysisk aktivitet, emotionella faktorer, illamående/kräkning samt nutrition/elimination.Konklusion: De flesta instrumenten vänder sig direkt till patienterna.

The purpose of this paper is to find the true meaning to the Swedish word "sinnesträdgård" as a fenonomen. This paper concentrates on the Swedish use of the word, because the term has different definitions in other countries. Our choice was a phenomenological method after reading literature on, and in relevance with, the subject without finding an answer to the question. According to our six informants - a politician, a project manager, two landscape architects and scientists, and two occupational therapists, the concept has not yet been defined. The results show that a "sinnesträdgård" is complex and means several things, but the main purpose of the concept and place is to stimulate all senses. We have discussed how to distinguish the concepts "sinnesträdgård", design garden and health garden, from each other as they all stimulate the senses.

It's an everyday experience shared by many that nature can be of help in relieving pain, reducing stress, support mental recovery etc. In the last three decades or so this experience has also found support in a large number of scientific investigations. Among other things the experience of nature has been shown to reduce stress and pain in patients and to boost concentration and reduce impulsive behavior in children. Most of this research however has mainly been concerned with the visual modality. In this thesis the aim has been to focus on the auditory modality in this context by trying to reveal some effects on people from the exposure of nature sounds played indoors in three different environments: a grammar school class room, a kindergarten play room and a post-surgery wake up room at an intensive care unit.
