Aim: To describe perceptions about written and Verbal information regarding diet and physical activity in women with breast cancer and to study possible differences between ages and perception. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted and consisted of 57 women with breast cancer stages I-III who started adjuvant chemotherapy within a year (2007-2008). A questionnaire, regarding their perceptions about the written and Verbal information they had received about diet and physical activity, was responded to three months following treatment completion. Between 67-93 % of the participants responded to the questions. The answers was analyzed with descriptive statistics and Mann Whitney U-test.

Bakgrund: Tidigare studier har visat på betydelsen av kommunikation, både Verbal och icke-Verbal, i mötet med den lidande patienten. En mellanmänsklig relation bygger på ett möte mellan människor som inte är fast i sina roller, som sjuksköterska och patient. Det är bara genom mötet sjuksköterskan kan få tillgång till patientens egentliga lidande, detta är nödvändigt för att kunna vårda, ge tröst och stöd. Syfte: Beskriva vilket stöd den lidande människan/patienten på sjukhus önskar av sjuksköterskan. Metod: Metoden som använts är en litteraturstudie med kvalitativ ansats, innehållsanalysen har gjorts med hjälp av Graneheim och Lundman (2004). Resultat: I resultatet framkom sju olika kategorier, ge det lilla extra, vara medmänniska, se mina behov när jag inte orkar, ge information som jag förstår, vara rädd om mitt förtroende, våga dela mitt lidande och lätta upp med humor..

Inhiberingsförmåga, arbetsminne och Verbal förmåga testades hos 25 treåringar i syfte att analysera barnens förmåga till inhibering. Tre instrument användes; inhiberingsuppgiften Less is More (en konkret del och en symbolisk del), arbetsminnesuppgiften Mister Peanut samt, för att testa Verbal förmåga; deltestet ordigenkänning från WPPSI-III. Hypotesen var att inhiberingsförmåga skulle korrelera med arbetsminneskapacitet. Resultaten visade att ingen skillnad fanns i barnens resultat i det konkreta respektive symboliska deltestet. Arbetsminneskapacitet, liksom Verbal förmåga korrelerade med resultaten i den konkreta uppgiften.

This is a qualitative interview study of the importance of the non-Verbal communication related to the reference situation at public libraries. The experiences of both librarians and users of the reference service have been explored with regards to non-Verbal communication. Eight interviews have been carried out. The results reveal that the users and librarians consider that it is important that the librarian find eye contact as well as give affirmation through nodding and smiling. To demonstrate interest and involvement in the questions through attentive listening is also of great value.

Preschool is an important social arena for children. This might be the first time that children find themselves in a larger social context and create their first peer-relations. The aim of this study was to examine children?s peer-relations with particular focus on the acts of social exclusion and inclusion, and how children use different strategies to exclude and include each other. Another aim was to investigate how both Verbal and non-Verbal communication is used in these processes.This study has an ethnographic approach, and the use of video observation as a method enabled us to capture the children?s everyday interactions at preschool.Our results show that children use a number of different strategies to exclude other children that seek access to an ongoing activity to protect the interactional space that they already share.

Processing information in complex everyday life recruites different abilities than limited storage capacity. Working memory, the central executive and inhibition are constructs that have been used to describe this ability of adaptation. This paper investigates the connection between working memory capacity and performances in tasks closely associated to real life situations, i. e. Verbal fluency tasks.

Kommunikationen mellan två personer består av både Verbala- och icke-Verbala beteenden. Den icke-Verbala kommunikationen kan förstärka (kongruent) eller vara motsägelsefull med den Verbala kommunikationen. I vissa situationer har den icke-Verbala kommunikationen en extra stor betydelse och ibland kan den vara en bättre väg att nå fram till en person, än med Verbala uttryck. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att synliggöra den icke-Verbala kommunikationen mellan sjuksköterskan och patienten samt belysa dess betydelse. Frågeställningarna som användes var följande: vad har den icke-Verbala kommunikationen för betydelse i mötet mellan sjuksköterskan och patienten och hur kan sjuksköterskan använda kunskapen om den icke-Verbala kommunikationen? Teoretisk referensram för arbetet var Hilde Eide och Tomas Eides syn på omvårdnadsinriktad kommunikation.

This study describes how Verbal abuse is used in schools and how it affects students. As a  result of the study is a questionnaire which was distributed to 153 students at two schools in a small town in southern Sweden. Students who participated in the study were in grades 3-6 and were between 9 and 13 years old. I asked students 13 questions, which dealt with Verbal abuse, some of them were check questions and some were issues that required a longer response.The results of the survey show that 108 students of 153 have ever felt Verbally abused at school, slightly more girls than boys. Usually they say they have been Verbally abused by their own sex and then with words like boys are more frequently offended by words of a sexual nature, whereas girls more often are offended by words that violate their appearance.The students who feel aggrieved are shown to be those students who violate others.

I vår undersökning har vi fokuserat på hur kommunikationen ser ut mellan elever i ämnet slöjd. Syftet med C- uppsatsen var att ta reda på om elever kommunicerar slöjdprocessen mellan varandra utifrån ett sociokulturellt perspektiv på kunskap och lärande. Våra frågesällningar var ?vad kommunicerar elever om rörande slöjdprocessen mellan varandra?? och ?hur kommunicerar eleverna slöjdprocessen?? Vår undersökning grundade sig på en elevenkät, videofilmning och deltagande observation som vi utförde i tre nioklasser på en skola inom Umeå kommun. Genom vår undersökning kom vi fram till att eleverna i stor utsträckning kommunicerar slöjdprocessen (ide, planering, genomförande och värdering) med varandra.

The purpose of this study is to explore specific pedagogical activities that benefit the student's Verbal language development and to learn more about how our schools use teaching methods to achieve the ambitions in the governing documents in Sweden. The aim is finding the correlation between theory, research, governing documents and the educational work in our schools. This study contains an empirical survey in intention to see how teachers, pupils and school administrators experience school activities, to see if those activities are formed with the intention for pupils to reach the learning goals according to the governing documents.The aim of this study has been achieved by relating empirical data with theories and previous research on conversation analysis. Goffman's and Norrby's research on the importance of dialogue and previous research on dialogicity studied by Dysthe, Vygotsky and Bakhtin are presented. Those are related to empirical data and show that most teachers realize the importance of integrating dialogues in daily activities and in different learning contexts.

Bakgrund: Ett av målen med god omvårdnad är att etablera en vårdande relation. Godkommunikation stärker relationen och det skapas utrymme för bekräftelse och trygghet. IckeVerbal kommunikation utgör omkring två tredjedelar av alla budskap som förmedlas och ärvanligtvis det som uppfattas som mer äkta när budskap strider mot varandra. Sjuksköterskansicke Verbala uttryck kan både öppna upp och skapa hinder i mötet med patienten vilket visar påvikten av en god kommunikativ förmåga. Syfte: Detta fördjupningsarbete belyser hur icke Verbalkommunikation påverkar den vårdande relationen och patientens upplevelse av trygghet ochbekräftelse.

The aim of this master?s thesis is to obtain greater understanding of how children relate to the film medium and their experiences. This is obtained by listening to the children and observing their Verbal and nonVerbal communication in two focus group interviews. Children?s access to and selection of film are due to adult?s restrictions.
