Diabetes klassas som en egenvårdssjukdom. Barnens inställning till sjukdomen är av betydelse för deras anpassning till att leva med den. Syftet med studien var att få en uppfattning om sjuk-sköterskans roll som omvårdare av barn med diabetes. Metoden bestod av en kvalitativ empirisk undersökning. Den empiriska undersökningen genomfördes genom intervjuer med åtta sjuksköterskor på barnmedicinsk avd

Vardagliga aktiviteter för personer med demens är ett viktigt område att beakta. Levnadsberättelsen består av information från personer med demens och deras tidigare intressen, som kan ligga till grund för att förbättra innehållet i vardagen. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur personer med demens, arbetsterapeuter och planeringsansvarig personal upplever aktivitet för personer med demen

The Swedish legislation (Socialtjänstlagen, SoL 5 kap 1§ 6 st.) state that the social welfare committee is particularly responsible for those children whom are in need of support and help after an adoption or custody matter has been decided. "Adoption - but at what price?" SOU 2003:49 is a state report with the purpose to investigate different aspects around international adoptions, whic

This master thesis was written in the purpose to study how the location and access to computers in the physical realm of the public library reflects the undergoing changes in the public libraries role in Swedish society. This study is done in a form of a case study of three small public libraries. All of them were in the process of transforming both their physical and virtual space. The thesis foc

Artros är en folksjukdom som kan påverka alla leder i kroppen. Artros i händerna är vanligast bland kvinnor. Enligt rådande forskning ger denna form av artros en stor inverkan på vardagliga aktiviteter, men det beskrivs inget om på vilket sätt det påverkar. Syftet med studien var således att belysa hur kvinnor med artros i händerna upplevde konsekvenser i vardagliga aktiviteter. Kvalitativ ansats

Syftet med studien var att undersöka några arbetsterapeuters insatser och upplevelser av hemrehabiliteringen för patienter med stroke. Studien har en kvalitativ ansats och metoden för datainsamlingen var att intervjua fyra arbetsterapeuter på två olika verksamheter i södra Skåne. Intervjuerna utfördes genom en semistrukturerad intervju mall. I resultatet framkom det tre underkategorier vilka var a

In this project, we are studying the material flow and the information flow of sample materials and the appurtenant report of deviation for the purpose to be able to suggest better solutions. The sample material, which is to be analysed, is to be continuously taken from the production flow. The purpose is to navigate the process by the results found by the analysis. Because of this, it's very

A methodology is produced for environmental and health risk assessment for road transports of hazardous material. The general risk management process with focus on health and environment is described briefly. Management systems, risk communication and uncertainty in the risk management process are also discussed in this context. The produced methodology is implemented in a case study in Iceland. T

The communist party Khmer Rouge took over the power in Cambodia in 1975, and ruled the country until the beginning of 1979. During these years they attempted to create a completely new society, a true Khmer nation, which involved massive economic and social reorganisation and elimination of people which did not fit in the new ideal. Three decades has passed since the genocide, and the senior lead

The brackish water cyanobacterium Nodularia spumigena produce the hepatotoxic cyclic pentapeptide nodularin. Intoxications for both human as well as animal may arise when water reservoirs are contaminated with potentially toxic Nodularia species. Here, results of three independent methods for the determination of nodularin in different strains of N. spumigena are presented. The results obtained wi

We present a new guide-split concept for transporting cold and thermal neutrons to multiple instruments from a single beam port at a neutron facility without compromising the useful neutron brilliance notably for any of the instruments. Elliptical guides are capable of transporting an almost completely filled phase space within a large divergence (+/- 2 degrees for cold neutrons). It is therefore

Computer generated imagery is used in a wide range of disciplines, each with different requirements. As an example, real-time applications such as computer games have completely different restrictions and demands than offline rendering of feature films. A game has to render quickly using only limited resources, yet present visually adequate images. Film and visual effects rendering may not have st

Context. The astrometric solution for Gaia aims to determine at least five parameters for each star, representing its position, parallax, and proper motion, together with appropriate estimates of their uncertainties and correlations. This requires at least five distinct observations per star. In the early data reductions the number of observations may be insufficient for a five-parameter solution,

En studie har gjorts av samtliga exjobb om 3D-fastigheter och ägarlägenheter gjorda sedan slutet av 1990-talet. Ämnet har lockat 135 exjobbare på 17 olika universitet och högskolor i Sverige. De två nya rättsobjekten passar utmärkt för studier inom rättsvetenskap, fastighetsvetenskap, fysisk planering och andra ingenjörsämnen, ekonomi mm. Kunskap finns tillgänglig, i exjobben och hos alla dessa ny

The aim of this study was to evaluate the consequences on the physical workload of new solutions in the forklift cab environment for the driver by quantifying the physical workload on the neck, shoulders, arms and wrists as an effect of steering systems. Twelve male subjects conducted identical test cycles with three types of steering: normal, tilted and miniature. The physical load on the drivers

Consider a parametrized family of general hidden Markov models, where both the observed and unobserved components take values in a complete separable metric space. We prove that the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) of the parameter is strongly consistent under a rather minimal set of assumptions. As special cases of our main result, we obtain consistency in a large class of nonlinear state space
