Introduktion: När en person drabbas av demens börjar den kognitiva förmågan att svikta. Detta leder till att kommunikationsförmågan kan bli försämrad vilket kan skapa missförstånd i omvårdnaden. Som sjuksköterska är det viktigt att ha kunskap om sjukdomen samt hur en konversation med en person som har demens ska genomföras för att missförstånd inte ska uppstå. Syfte: Beskriva olika kommunikationsformer för personer med demens. Metod: Litteraturstudien var grundad på vetenskapliga artiklar.

The purpose of this study was to investigate how social services workers describe, the risk of being exposed to threats and violence in their profession. Six social services workers were interviewed, four from the Welfare Office in a major city and two from the Child and Family Services in a minor city. Results showed that the majority of social services workers consider themselves exposed in their profession, meaning that they feel there's a risk of a violent or threatening situation occurring in their work situation. All interviewees had experiences from some sort of threat or violence in a work related context and they attested that non-personal assaults, such as threats made through telephone, email and answering machines are more common than verbal assaults made in personal meetings. Being prepared and listening to ones intuition is a way of dealing with exposure when meeting with a client.

The aim of this thesis is to discuss and analyse the media debate about feminist self-defence, by pointing out the pros and the cons. The arguments in favour could be separated into three different parts: statistical arguments, psychological arguments and justice arguments. The counter arguments could also be separated into three parts: general arguments, violence-related arguments and gender-related arguments. In short, feminist self-defence is built on women's experiences of men's violence. It contains three different parts to help women avoid violence, threat of violence, insult and sexual harassment.

Background: Communication allows people to gain understanding of themselves and their surroundings, which is a prerequisite for good health.

Bakgrund: Alkoholkonsumtion ligger i topp tio av faktorer som kan orsaka olika former av funktionsnedsättning och på tredje plats av påverkbara dödsorsaker. Tidigare forskning visar att sjuksköterskor var negativt inställda till att vårda personer med ett missbruk/beroende och att patienterna som upplevt ett dåligt bemötande löper en större risk att inte fullfölja sin medicinska behandling. Forskningen visade också att det finns vårdpersonal som är positivt inställd till personer med ett missbruk/beroende. Syfte: Att undersöka hur personer med ett alkoholmissbruk/beroende upplevt att de blivit bemötta när det sökt vård inom somatiken. Metod: En empirisk kvalitativ intervjustudie baserad på nio intervjuer. Resultat: Det framkom tre huvudkategorier och sju underkategorier. Alla informanter hade upplevt bra bemötande men det fanns även de som hade upplevt ett dåligt bemötande när de sökt vård. Faktorer som påverkade bemötandet var journalanteckningar från beroendecentrum, hur ens eget beteende var, sjuksköterskans personliga inställning till personer med ett missbruk/beroende, om vården söktes under påverkan eller i nyktert tillstånd..

Although  ?naming and shaming? paedophiles are growing in Sweden, professionals working with the rehabilitation and treatment of paedophiles describe that the naming and shaming might not prevent child sex abuse. On the opposite naming and shaming alienates the perpetrator from any ordinary life. The alienation could lead them to only having other paedophiles as friends. Previous studies show that professionals are often distancing themselves from working with paedophiles, even if there is competence.

The purpose of this study was to see how Luke depicted the Roman Empire and in particularits people through his gospel. Around the time of the gospels? composition, 70-80 A.D., tensions were high between the Jewish people and their Roman occupants. However, it was during this period of high tension that a small group of Jews distinguished themselves not only by claiming that the promised savior, the Messiah, had arrived but also by including non-Jewish members into their ranks. The stated question is how this group of Christians reasoned both among themselves but also with their surroundings.

The purpose of this essay was to investigate and analyze affecting factors concerning social workers in two different municipality social services, Karlskrona and Karlshamn, working with cases of youth drug abuse. We wanted to see what affects social workers in their choices of assessments of youth drug abusers. We wanted to find out whether the organizational aspects or the cliental qualities affect the social workers more than the other in the choices of assessments. Among the cliental qualities we used in this essay, gender was the most important quality and therefore the quality we wanted to pay special attention to. When it came to the organizational aspects we paid special attention to the social workers boundaries of agency.

I denna uppsats beskrivs situationen för mångbesökarna inom missbruks- och beroendevården. Kvalitativt intervjumaterial belyser upplevelser och erfarenheter som rör deras beroendeproblematik. De bär alla på någon form av samsjuklighet och återkommer till psykiatriska intensiv- och akutmottagningen för avgiftning på sjukhus. Att hitta sätt att avlasta den mentala smärtan är ledande genom berättelserna tillsammans med uttalade behov av att bli lyssnade på och av att bli tagna på allvar. Genom makt att påverka sin situation och kraft att förändra den i gemenskap med andra kan de lindra sin ohälsa.

Bakgrund: Fibromyalgi är ett syndrom som kännetecknas av utbredd smärta,överkänslighet vid beröring men även att övriga delar av kroppen påverkas.Metod: En litteraturstudie har genomförts där 10 stycken vetenskapliga artiklar haranalyserats och utgjort resultatet.Syfte: Huvudsyftet är att undersöka möjliga riskfaktorer som kan påverka utvecklandetav fibromyalgi.Resultat: Studiens resultat har tagit upp fyra teman med tänkabara riskfaktorer.Traumatiska barndomshändelser, där både fysisk och verbal misshandel och sexuelltutnyttjande var riskfaktorer. Att bli utsatt för trauma som vuxen, där fysisk misshandel,operation och arbetsrelaterad skada ingick, var också en riskfaktor. Stress och ett högtBMI-värde var också riskfaktorer relaterade till utvecklandet av fibromyalgi.Diskussion: Studiens resultat visade på att det är flera riskfaktorer som påverkarutvecklandet av detta syndrom. Alla som utsätts för en av dessa riskfaktorer utvecklardock inte fibromyalgi, utan med största sannolikhet så är det en kombination av flerariskfaktorer som gör att man utvecklar fibromyalgi.Slutsats: Det behövs mer forskning för att studera sambandet mellan fysiska, psykiskaoch sociala riskfaktorer..

The aim of this study is to investigate how it is possible that tourists who are not actively seeking child prostitutes still account for the majority of child sex tourists. The study includes tourists, locals, people working in the sex industry and staff from Swedish embassy and ECPAT international in Bangkok.

The data has then been categorized in to different themes and analyzed using previous research on the subject. Hirschis theory of social bonds was then used to further interpret the results.The results of this study show that the tourists in Thailand, who are not seeking out child prostitutes, will most likely come in contact with them anyway.

When gender-related refugee claims was ratified in the Swedish asylum law the 31 of March this year (2006) it opened the door for women with this specific refugee status to receive asylum in Sweden. The aim of this thesis has been to investigate how these specific female refugees are represented and described in the asylum process. The focus has been the construction of identity concerning these women in the Officials discourse at the Immigration department. The theoretical framework has been a critical discourse analysis regarding the exercise of power and dominance connected to the construction of identity.An understanding of the women with gender-related refugee claims as the Others has been perceived through the Officials discourse.
