The aim of the literature review was to illuminate the importance of nutritional management to patients who have sustained a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and describe nurses responsibility and meaningful function in the nutritional support. TBI patients tend to be associated with hypermetabolism and hypercatabolism, resulting in negative nitrogen balances. The results reveal increased energy expenditure and assessments of needs energy requirements at the TBI patients. This study determining the route of feeding: enteral versus parenteral nutrition. Furthermore describes complications associated with enteral feeding.

Många människor tycker att kontakt med injektioner, blod eller skador är obehagligt men cirka 3,5% av befolkningen störs av en överdriven rädsla för dessa stimuli, vilket kallas BII-fobi (Blood-Injection-Injury Phobia). Injektionsfobi är en typ av BII-fobi och det har hittills inte funnits några mätmetoder för injektionsfobi hos barn. Studiens syfte var att undersöka de psykometriska egenskaperna hos Injektionsfobiskalan anpassad till barn samt att samla in normdata för barn i åldrarna 8-17 år. Data från 677 barn samlades in i skolor i Stockholmsområdet. Resultaten visade att skalan hade god reliabilitet och god samtidig och diskriminativ validitet.

Bakgrund: Skador inom fotbollen är ett stort problem både fysiskt, psykiskt och ekonomiskt för samtliga involverade.Syfte: Att undersöka eventuella skadeförebyggande effekter av FIFA:s preventionsprogram The 11+ hos manliga fotbollspelare. Studien har fokuserat på skador i nedre extremitet (fot, underben, knä, lår, ljumske och höft).Material & Metod: Randomiserad kontrollerad studie. Fyra fotbollslag i Södertälje kommun följdes under försäsongen 2013 (januari-april). 103 manliga fotbollspelare mellan 18-42 år deltog i studien (47 spelare i interventionsgruppen och 56 i kontrollgruppen).Resultat: Interventionsgruppen som genomförde The 11+ upp till två gånger i veckan hade signifikant färre skador i nedre extremitet jämfört med kontrollgruppen.Konklussion: The 11+ är effektivt för att förebygga skador bland manliga fotbollspelare..

The main object of this master thesis is to examine whether domain-analysis could be used toorganize the collections in a library serving interdisciplinary studies, and in that case - howthat could be done. The thesis is based on a case study of a library for Asian studies, which alsoserves as a library specialized in that subject in the Nordic countries. The author has used, i.e.interviews and observations examining who the users of the library are and how these seekinformation. A theory part deals with some earlier studies of information users within arts andsocial sciences, and these are compared to the users of the examined library.The thesis states that one has to look at the different disciplines in which research is done (andcould be done) at the institute to which the library belongs, and that subject terms could beadded to the various documents from the view of those domains..

Handen har en väldigt stor betydelse i människans liv. Med handen utför vi många olika slags viktiga sysslor. Vi äter, duschar och klär på oss med hjälp av handen. Vi skriver, sportar och utför arbete med handen. Vi hälsar på andra och kramar de som står oss nära med hjälp av handen.

This paper discusses whether the main argument for European countries to stay out of the euro, i.e. the loss in stability from not having a national monetary policy that can be used for stabilization purposes, is still valid ten years after the introduction of the single currency. We analyse the stabilization performances of four largely comparable Nordic countries that have all chosen different levels of European economic integration. In retrospect, the so-called ?stabilization policy argument? seems surprisingly weak.

The art of producing films have been around for more than a century and the technology just continues to evolve. But although much has happened in 100 years, there are also processes, theories and practices that look the same now as then. I write this thesis because I want to find the differences between the analogue and the digital way of production. This study is based on a qualitative approach because my ambition is to seek the views concerning film production processes. The advantages of analogue film is that it contains more information than the digital formats and that it has a more cinematic style.

Piglet survival is of importance because it affects the farmer?s economy and the welfare of the pigs. There are several factors affecting piglet survival and they are often linked to each other. This paper will focus on how the behaviour of the sow can affect the growth and survival of the piglets and also possible causations of differences in maternal behaviour. Sows in intensive production systems have different possibilities to express their maternal behaviour than free ranging sows.

To reach objectives within EU?s Habitatdirective and the national environmental objectives, more information about semi-natural pastures is required. The expression semi-natural pasture is used for pastures that during the latest time are uncultivated and unfertilized. Semi-natural pastures are important in many respects for example to conserve the biodiversity and for our cultural history. The aim of my study was to compile and calculate the area of semi-natural pastures by use existing sources of information.

Unemployment amongst Swedish citizens is higher within the group which falls under the designation foreign-born. The aim of this thesis is to examine which municipal factors that can explain the differences in unemployment amongst foreign-born relative to native born.The empirical models are examined with both cross-sectional data for the year of 2010 and panel data for the years of 2002-2012. The examination is implemented through a linear regression analysis of the type Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) and Fixed Effect regressions. A theory section will be presented where the theory on Non-Accelerating Inflation Rate (NAIRU), theories on discrimination and country-specific human capital are illustrated.The result from the cross-sectional data shows that the amount of foreign-born, the level of foreign-born immigrated from Nordic countries have a significant negative effect on unemployment amongst foreign-born. The general unemployment shows a significant positive effect on the unemployment amongst foreign-born.

Mankind has always been communicating, it is almost impossible to not communicate. The communication tree has grown a new branch, the environmental communication branch, and an ISO standard, the ISO 14 063 Environmental communication- guidelines and examples was issued October 2006. The purpose of this thesis is commissioned by the managing director of NQA Nordic AB in order to examine and analyse how organisations communicate environmental issues today, and how big the need for ISO 14 063 actually is, and further more if there are needs and wishes to make ISO 14 063 a certifiable standard. The main conclusion is that the there is a need for the standard, but it is difficult to say in which form since the knowledge about the standard is far to low among the organisations examined in this thesis. Clarity and transparency as ISO 14 063 promotes are important ingredients in organisations? environmental work, so sure a standard for environmental communication can help improve environmental performance, for example through opening up for two-way communication and from that on take part of the stakeholders? opinions.This study is based on a literature study and a questionnaire survey where 70 organisations (in this case authorities, corporations and non-governmental organisations) randomly chosen from the seven criteria, which ISO 14 001 defines as the environment: land, water, air, flora, fauna, natural resources and man and his collaboration with those.

A historical study of intervention for aphasia may provide information on how speech and language pathologists work with people with aphasia. Aphasia is seen as an umbrella term for symptoms of language disorders caused by aquired brain injury. The overall aim of the present study was to describe and analyze the development of intervention for aphasia during the periods 1990-1999 and 2000-2010.The study was conducted by analysis of 83 medical records from two hospitals in Sweden during a period of 20 years. These decades were compared to each other and yo current litteraturein search for differences and trends in aphasia intervention.The Results of the present study revealed that intervention mainly focused on recovering the linguistic ability in both the 1990s and 2000s. Intervention and literature focusing on communication seem to increase during the 2000s.

Nordic Light AB tillverkar armaturer för bland annat butiker och utställningar. För att kunna avgöra vilken armatur som behövs för en viss applikation och för att se hur en viss armatur lyser har kunder efterfrågat fotometriska filer av formatet EULUMDAT. Fotometriska filer innehåller bland annat information om armaturers ljusfördelning. Den utrustning som Nordic Light AB använder i sitt ljuslabb kan mäta belysningsstyrkan i lux på en kvadratisk yta och sedan sparas mätvärden i en textfil med x- och y- koordinater samt belysningsstyrkor. Detta examensarbete har utförts för att ta reda på vad en fotometrisk fil av formatet EULUMDAT innehåller och om det med Nordic Light AB: s befintliga utrustning går att ta fram en sådan fil.

Bakgrund: Ljumskskador, ljumsk- och höftsmärta hos fotbollsspelare har oftast samband med minskat rörelseomfång i höfter, svaghet i bål och höftmuskulatur. Risk för ljumsksmärta ökar hos idrottare som inte tränar skadepreventivt. Syfte: Att undersöka om ett preventionsprogram med sex övningar för styrka och rörlighet kan minska förekomsten av ljumsksmärta hos herrfotbollsspelare. Material och metod: En kvantitativ experimentell fallstudie med kontrollgrupp, som utfördes med 14 herrfotbollslag (7 lag interventionsgrupp, 7 lag kontrollgrupp). I studien deltog 514 manliga fotbollspelare i åldern mellan 15-47 år. Resultat: I interventionsgruppen som genomförde ett preventionsprogram var antalet spelare med ljumsksmärta oförändrat, medan antalet deltagare med ljumsksmärta i kontrollgruppen ökade. Konklusion: Ett preventionsprogram med övningar för styrka och rörlighet kan förebygga förekomst av ljumsksmärta hos herrfotbollsspelare. Nyckelord: Fotboll, prevention, ljumskskada, ljumsksmärta, höftsmärta.

Syftet med denna studie var att beskriva arbetsterapeuters erfarenheter av att arbeta i ett team med rehabilitering av vuxna med en förvärvad hjärnskada. Sex arbetsterapeuter verksamma på rehabiliteringskliniker i Västerbotten och i Norrbotten intervjuades. Det insamlade materialet analyserades utifrån en kvalitativ innehållsanalys och resulterade i tre kategorier: ?Strukturens betydelse för en effektiv rehabiliteringsprocess?, ?Samarbete ger rehabiliteringen ett mervärde? och ?Arbetsterapeutens roll med aktivitet i fokus?. Resultatet visade på behovet av ett strukturerat arbetssätt i teamet där en gemensam ledare är betydelsefull för att driva rehabiliteringsprocessen.
