This is a study of seven men that have suffered from a cruel punishment. The punishment involved getting their ear/ears cut off, prison with more torture and their families being deported from their homes to another town.My sample involved seven Iraqi men who suffered from this punishment during Saddams regime, they got this punishment because they refused to fight against Iran and Kuwait. I went to Iraq and met with the men in person and did interviews with them to understand the effect of the punishment on their personalities, and how the punishment have influenced their lives and interaction with other people in the society and around them.The study focuses on their suffering and how they have been able to live with this stigma. The method the study has used is the Kvalitative method that involved interviewing them in their country Iraq and analyse their answers and then come to the results. My study was between 26 of March 2004 to 26 of April 2004.My study is based on the theory of social interaction and especially the symbolic interaction theories of G.H.

Att vara beroende av vård är ett komplext fenomen och människorna som är inblandade i processen vårdmottagande / vårdgivande påverkar dess betydelse. Syftet med den här litteraturstudien var att beskriva äldre människors upplevelser av att vara beroende av vård. 9 artiklar har analyserats enligt Kvalitative innehållsanalys, manifest ansats, inspirerad av Burnard (1991). Analysen resulterade i 5 kategorier: Att be om och ta emot vård är en prövning, att förlora kontrollen och se sitt liv som förverkat, att vara trygg ? otrygg, att vara en god patient och att acceptera och bli van vården.

The public relations business has grown from almost nothing to a large international industry the last decades. Throughout the history the industry has struggled with a lot of critique and public relations has become a negative symbol for manipulation of information. Because of this negative view of the industry and the medial change taking place, the purpose of this study is to investigate how two different generations think about public relations. More accurate, the study will through a qualitative interview study explore how young people from a highschool in Luleå and elder people from Luleå township thinks about pubic relations, and most imortant why they have this particular view. By creating four focus groups, two with men and two with women, this also enables a comparative study between the gender. The focus groups were later analyzed and compared to two selected groups of theories on public relations, the theories were positive and critical theories compound in two categories.
