Alzheimersjukdom är den vanligaste av alla demenssjukdomar och den ökar i takt med att de äldre utgör allt större del av befolkningen. Det innebär en förändring för hela familjen när någon drabbas av denna kroniska sjukdom. Deras känslor pendlar mellan oro och ilska, mellan skuld och förtvivlan. Även de är offer - de tillgivna makar och övriga anhöriga som blir vittnen till hur en familjemedlem blir sämre för var dag. Under sjukdomsförloppet kunde det urskiljas en krisreaktion hos de anhöriga.

Tidigare forskning har visat att arbetslösas välmående och livskvalitet påverkas negativt av arbetslöshet. Upplevd kontroll och autonomi kan medföra ökade coping-resurser för arbetslösa och ökar möjligheten till god mental hälsa och livskvalitet. Syftet med den aktuella studien var att undersöka hur graden av kontroll och autonomi hos arbetslösa påverkades beroende på faktorerna ekonomisk säkerhet, stöd av särskild person, stöd i handling, samt arbetsmarknadsåtgärd. Resultatet visade att den enskilt starkast predicerande faktorn för upplevd kontroll var ekonomisk säkerhet, medan stöd av person predicerade upplevd autonomi till störst utsträckning. Ökad ekonomisk säkerhet och stöd av särskild person hade ett positivt samband med både kontroll och autonomi.

Sponsoring is today a more common form for corporation in the trade of culture. This has led to a situation, in which companies and institutions of culture, must be more versed in sponsorship. In this essay, we aim at understand and give an account for how the corporation, in a sponsorship relationship might work.A sponsorship relationship also means that a lot of knowledge is needed in other doctrines. The law aspect is one of these, which we also will concern in this essay, another aspect is the integrity of the culture.The main purpose with this essay is to find information, which might work recommendingly, for organizations that works with sponsorship. Mainly we will considerate sponsorship as a source for the financing of culture.In this essay we have discovered that sponsoring has become increasingly important for financing cultural activities, and a good corporation demands a great deal of commitment from both parties.

The purpose of this thesis is to reach a deeper understanding of the context of teachers? information seeking. Research in the role of the library in a learning perspective is in demand. To reach our aim we investigate what teachers say about their experiences of the user training during their studies and what effect it had on their information seeking as teachers. We interviewed four teachers and analyzed the transcripts of their sayings about their experiences of their information seeking during their education and a teaching profession.

The eutrophication of inshore seas, lakes and watercourses is mainly due to leaching of nitrogen and phosphorus (P) from agriculture. Many efforts are made to reduce the lea-kage of phosphorus in Sweden and the Baltic Sea countries. Phosphorus is also a finite resource and the mining of good quality raw material gets more and more difficult. Se-dimentation dams in combination with filters is one relatively new method to separate P from run-off and drainage water from agricultural land. This study was a part of an IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute?s project which tests the capacity and func-tion for separation of phosphorus in four phosphorus filters.

Att vårda en närstående med en kronisk sjukdom känns ofta som en självklarhet, men hur detta påverkar en själv som person och det liv som är utstakat är inte lika självklart. Syftet med studien var att undersöka närståendes upplevelser av att vara vårdgivare till en person med amyotrofisk lateralskleros (ALS). Studien är en litteraturstudie och är baserad på tio vetenskapliga artiklar. Resultatet av vår studie har identifierats till tre stycken teman: Psykisk påverkan, belastning och QoL. Det är en del av sjuksköterskans arbete att även se de närstående och hur dessa påverkas, inte bara använda sig av de som en avlastning i omvårdnadsarbetet..

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of an intervention that focuses on phonics, decoding, reading speed and phonological awareness for 8-9 year old children in reading difficulties. Participants were selected on the basis of screening test results in grade one (decoding and reading comprehension). The participants were divided into two groups, an intervention group (A1, n=10 children) and a control group (A2, n=10). A1 received 30 minutes of intense reading instruction every day for six weeks from special educational needs teachers on top of their usual classroom based reading instruction. The control group received only their usual classroom-based reading instruction.

The urban heat island is an area restricted to a city center where the temperatureis higher than its surrounding environment. The greatest temperature difference isfound at night when the weather is calm and the sky is clear of clouds. There are twomajor causes behind this phenomena and the first one is the use of energy forheating of houses. The heat leaks through the walls of the buildings and warms upthe surrounding mass of air. The second one is the use of building material whichstore the suns radiation on daytime and releases the heat during night.

Ett beteende är resultat av samspelet mellan individen och omgivningen. Ett visst beteende hos en person som lider av demens kan vara symtom på själva sjukdomen men också ett sätt att uttrycka sig. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie är att undersöka om vårdpersonal med sitt förhållningssätt kan framkalla förändringar i beteende hos en person som lider av demens. Författarna gjorde en litteraturstudie utifrån tio vetenskapliga artiklar. Resultatet visar att om vårdpersonal ställer för höga krav på en person med demens, använder makt utifrån sin position och har ett bristfälligt sätt att kommunicera med patienten uppkommer störande beteende i olika form.

This essay examines the recent electoral success of the Sweden Democrats (SD) in the Swedish municipal election in 2006 and 2010. By using statistical methods it aims to explain which of three contradicting theoretical frameworks best can explain how a populist radical right party could penetrate one of the most stable party systems in the world. The theoretical approaches tested in this essay are: a demand-side, an external supply-side and an internal supply-side approach. By using theoretically anchored proxies to determine the effect of the contradicting theoretical approaches this essay concludes that the internal supply-side explanation measuring the local party organizational ability of the SD had the most substantial effect when it comes to explaining their recent electoral success in the Swedish municipalities, as opposed to a more commonly believed demand-side driven explanation..

The aim of this study is to evaluate whether the value of occupant load is over or under estimated when the Swedish general value for department stores, 0,5 person/m2, is used for dimensioning shopping centers. The data that was analyzed derives from seven shopping centers and one department store. A conservative method was used to calculate the occupant load factor. The analysis shows that two groups can be discerned: one group that is characterized by a lower occupant load factor that does not exceed 0,3 person/m2, and one group with a higher occupant load factor. Shopping centers with a higher occupant load factor are located centrally in large urban areas.

This thesis studies the negative impact that control signal saturation may have on a controlled system. Different methods that are used to compensate for this problem are also studied and evaluated. Both sensitivity to disturbances and the effect the method has on the systems'ability to follow a reference signal will be examined. Stability will be discussed, but no conclusions whether the systems are stabilized or not can be drawn. Control signal saturation will lead to a slower behavior in general.

This paper describes the Swedish reconnaissance squads in the engineer battalions, their equipment, tasks and organization. An analysis is made to compare the present weapons and fire power of the reconnaissance squad with an extended weapon alternative. The analysis focuses on the abilities effect, protection and movement in different situations typical of a reconnaissance squad.The facts that are presented in this paper are mostly founded on the new field manual FältarbR Dyktjänst 2007, which regulates much of the reconnaissance activities. The aim of this paper is the making of a contribution in the developing progress of the new field manual and the reconnaissance squads in Swedish engineer battalions.The result of the analysis shows that the extended weapon alternative would be an asset..

Titel: Obegränsat skattskyldig vid utflyttning från SverigeÄmne/kurs: Beskattningsrätt, Examensarbete, HA6035, 15 HPFörfattare: Adnan ElkazHandledare: Bengt ÅkessonNyckelord: Obegränsat skattskyldig, Väsentlig anknytning, AnknytningsmomentSyftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka när en person blir obegränsat skattskyldig trots att han är utflyttad från Sverige. Uppsatsen behandlar väsentlig anknytning som är ett centralt begrepp. En person blir obegränsat skattskyldig i Sverige efter utflyttningen om han har väsentlig anknytning hit. För att ge uppsatsen en helhetsbild har jag även tagit upp de fall där personen inte får väsentlig anknytning till Sverige och därmed inte är obegränsat skattskyldig här.En person som är bosatt utomlands, men som tidigare har varit bosatt i Sverige och som fortfarande har väsentlig anknytning hit är obegränsat skattskyldig i Sverige. Då är han skattskyldig för samtliga sina inkomster, oavsett varifrån dessa kommer.

The purpose of the thesis is to investigate whether a higher income make individuals more likely to exceed the speed limit. In addition to income the variables age, sex, perception of the speed of the average driver and offense history for the last three years are taken into account.The method used is based on a survey performed at the mandatory annual motor-vehicle inspection (Bilprovningen). 177 individuals were asked to participate, of these, 124 completed the survey which in turn left us with 117 usable observations.The analysis is based on two forms of regression, a linear regression and an ordered logit regression to confirm the results for the ordinal data.The final model indicates a result where income and age are statistically significant. Sex is considered insignificant for our data material and is excluded from the model. Age has a negative effect on the propensity to exceed the speed limit while income has a positive effect.
