Factors analysed were the forest owners´ situation and their characters, and information activities from wood-suppliers and the Regional Forest Board (RFB). The inventory was performed with a posted questionnaire followed up by telephone to forest owners and a posted questionnaire to wood-buyers.

In total 73 % (41/56) of the sampled forest owners answered the questionnaire Group A (17 answers): Good judgement Group B (19 answers): Bad judgement Group C (5 answers): This group was formed from the forest owners that were informed, by RFB, about nature conservation measures and culture history consideration before the regeneration cutting.

Syftet med litteraturstudien var att undersöka hur buller påverkar sjukhusmiljön med hänseende på vårdpersonal och patienter. Studiens avsikt omfattar även en undersökning av vårdpersonalens och patienters eventuella olika uppfattningar angående buller. Effekterna av buller och dess omfattning inom vårdavdelningsmiljön har också undersökts. Resultatet av studien visar på att bullermiljön på sjukhus överskrider de riktlinjer för buller som WHO fastslagit. Vidare visar studien på indikationer på att brittiska sjuksköterskors kunskap angående fenomenet buller är bristfällig.

Bakgrund: Sedan 1990-talet har alkoholkonsumtionen i Sverige ökat och under de senaste tio åren har även alkoholskador och alkoholrelaterad sjukhusvård tilltagit. Att identifiera och ta upp patienters alkoholproblematik ingår i sjuksköterskans arbetsuppgifter men rollen i samtal om alkohol är otydlig och många sjuksköterskor anser sig sakna tillräckligt med kunskap och utbildning för detta.Syfte: Syftet var att belysa de faktorer som påverkar sjuksköterskans samtal med patienter om alkohol.Metod: En litteraturöversikt baserad på fem kvalitativa och sex kvantitativa vetenskapliga artiklar utfördes. Artiklarna söktes i databaserna Cinahl Plus with Fulltext, Google Scholar, Medline, Nursing & Allied Health Source. Deras resultat granskades och analyserades efter likheter och olikheter, vilket resulterade i en sammanställning med nya teman.Resultat: Analysen resulterade i fem teman med faktorer som påverkar samtal om alkohol. Kunskap och utbildning visar att dessa har en positiv effekt på att samtal kring alkohol förs och att majoriteten av alla sjuksköterskor efterfrågar mer kunskap och utbildning.
