    Syftet med detta lĂ€rdomsprov var att undersöka hur det Ă€r att vara maka eller make till en person med demenssjukdom och pĂ„ vilket sĂ€tt dagverksamheten FörgĂ€tmigej har stött de anhöriga. Fokus ligger pĂ„ att lyfta fram hur anhörigrollen upplevs och hur de anhöriga kan stödas. För att fĂ„ en större förstĂ„else för anhörigrollen gjordes undersökningen med hjĂ€lp av kvalitativa intervjuer. I teoridelen tas Ă„ldrandet, minnet och de vanligaste minnessjukdomarna upp. Tyngdpunkten för teoridelen ligger dock pĂ„ att lyfta fram anhörigrollen samt vilket behov av stöd de anhöriga ofta har. I bĂ„de teoridel och undersökningsdel tas anhörigvĂ„rdarrollens olika sidor fram. Bundenhet, trötthet och stress Ă€r mycket vanligt hos anhöriga, men rollen medför Ă€ven glĂ€dje över att fĂ„ vara tillsammans med sin partner och att kunna hjĂ€lpa. Det stöd som erbjudits via FörgĂ€tmigej upplevdes som mycket positivt, inte minst pĂ„ det kĂ€nslomĂ€ssiga planet. Den rĂ„dgivning och det goda bemötande samt det konkreta stöd som fĂ„tts upplevdes betydelsefullt för de anhöriga. I undersökningsresultaten framkom att anhörigvĂ„rdarrollen upplevs som pĂ„frestande. SĂ€rskilt tungt visade det sig vara dĂ„ de anhöriga hade för litet vila och möjligheter till egen tid. Stöd i form av avlastning, egen kvalitetstid, information och kĂ€nslomĂ€ssigt stöd visade sig vara centrala behov som de anhöriga uttryckte.The purpose of this thesis was to study what it is like to be the spouse of a person with dementia, and in what way the FörgĂ€tmigej day center has supported the relatives. The focus is placed on how the carer role is perceived and how the relatives can be supported. The study was based on qualitative interviews in order to obtain a better understanding of the role of being a relative. In the theoretical part of the thesis, ageing, memory and the most common memory disorders are brought up. However, the emphasis is put on the relatives’ role, and on the need for support that relatives have. Different sides of being in a carer’s role are brought up in both the theory and the study part. Feelings of attachment, fatigue and stress, but also the joy of being together with one’s partner and of being able to help, are very common amongst relatives. The support offered through FörgĂ€tmigej was experienced as very positive, especially on an emotional level. The advice, good response and practical support gained through FörgĂ€tmigej were experienced as meaningful by the families. The results of the study show that the carer’s role is experienced as stressful. The consequence of lack of rest and own time proved to be particularly exhausting amongst relatives. Aid in the form of relief, own quality time, information and emotional support was in the relatives’ opinion a vital need

    Objective We have used long-read single molecule, real-time (SMRT) sequencing to fully characterize a similar to 12Mb genomic region on chromosome Xq24-q27, significantly linked to bipolar disorder (BD) in an extended family from a genetic sub-isolate. This family segregates BD in at least four generations with 24 affected individuals. Methods We selected 16 family members for targeted sequencing. The selected individuals either carried the disease haplotype, were non-carriers of the disease haplotype, or served as married-in controls. We designed hybrid capture probes enriching for 5-9Kb fragments spanning the entire 12Mb region that were then sequenced to screen for candidate structural variants (SVs) that could explain the increased risk for BD in this extended family. Results Altogether, 201 variants were detected in the critically linked region. Although most of these represented common variants, three variants emerged that showed near-perfect segregation among all BD type I affected individuals. Two of the SVs were identified in or near genes belonging to the RNA Binding Motif Protein, X-Linked (RBMX) gene family-a 330bp Alu (subfamily AluYa5) deletion in intron 3 of the RBMX2 gene and an intergenic 27bp tandem repeat deletion between the RBMX and G protein-coupled receptor 101 (GPR101) genes. The third SV was a 50bp tandem repeat insertion in intron 1 of the Coagulation Factor IX (F9) gene. Conclusions Among the three genetically linked SVs, additional evidence supported the Alu element deletion in RBMX2 as the leading candidate for contributing directly to the disease development of BD type I in this extended family.Peer reviewe

    Introduktion: I vÄrt land Àr det förbjudet att krÀnka barn sÄvÀl fysiskt som psykiskt, men ÀndÄ hÀnder det. Eftersom alla barn har skolplikt frÄn sju Ärs Älder trÀffar skolsköterskan alla barn pÄ ett naturligt sÀtt. Hennes uppgift Àr att frÀmja barnens hÀlsa och dÀrmed hitta de barn som far illa. Det finns en begrÀnsad mÀngd forskning om skolsköterskors upplevelser nÀr de misstÀnker att en elev far illa vilket författarna skulle vilja undersöka vidare. Syfte: Att beskriva skolsköterskors upplevelse vid misstanke om att en elev far illa. Metod: Författarna har utfört en forskningsplan pÄ en storskalig studie och har valt att testa gÄngbarheten genom att utföra en pilotstudie. Fyra skolsköterskor intervjuades och intervjumaterialet transkriberades till text som har analyserats med hjÀlp av kvalitativ innehÄlls analys. Resultat: Via analysen framkom tre kategorier och sex underkategorier. Första kategorin Àr: KÀnsla av ansvar. HÀr beskrivs svÄrigheter med tillvÀgagÄngssÀtt i olika situationer och vikten av att ha barnet i fokus. Andra kategorin Àr: KÀnsla av vanmakt som belyser svÄrigheter i bÄde beslut och samarbete med socialtjÀnsten. Tredje och sista kategorin Vikten av trygghet dÀr betydelsen av kollegor och handledning betonas. Diskussion: Skolsköterskorna blev kÀnslomÀssigt berörda nÀr de trÀffade elever som for illa. De hade svÄrt att hantera sina kÀnslor och kÀnde sig ensamma nÀr de stod inför svÄra beslut. Handledning var ett viktigt redskap för att bearbeta kÀnslorna. Samarbetet med socialtjÀnsten fungerade inte som de önskade

    ÖvergĂ„ngar

    I det urbana landskapet finns mĂ„nga övergĂ„ngar mellan fysiska objekt som kan skapa grĂ€nser. Exempel pĂ„ dessa skulle kunna vara att vattnet i en kanal Ă€r skilt frĂ„n promenadstrĂ„ket som ligger flera meter högre upp, den vackra planteringen fĂ„r beskĂ„das frĂ„n gatan men erbjuder ingen plats eller möjlighet att vistas i, en park avgrĂ€nsas tvĂ€rt frĂ„n en trafikerad bilvĂ€g med ett stort staket eller en klippt hĂ€ck. I arbetet undersöks hur det gĂ„r att tillĂ€mpa idĂ©er om övergĂ„ngar mellan olika fysiska miljöer för att skapa en helhet i gestaltningen som knyter samman och tar vara pĂ„ dessa övergĂ„ngar som en potential. PĂ„ vilket sĂ€tt gĂ„r det att ta vara pĂ„ övergĂ„ngarna mellan olika miljöer i det urbana landskapet sĂ„ att grĂ€nser blir till möten som uppskattas av mĂ€nniskor och djur? Genom att analysera omstĂ€ndigheterna kring utformningen av en framtida park i Varvsstaden i Malmö som ligger i grĂ€nslandet mellan havet och det förtĂ€tade urbana landskapet samt med hjĂ€lp av fĂ€ltstudier och en litteraturstudie kring grĂ€nser och övergĂ„ngar i landskapet har gestaltningsförslaget Kajparken utformats. Begrepp som ekoton, tröskelrum, hybridlandskap och nisch har tillĂ€mpats i arbetet med gestaltningsförslaget och bedömts som vĂ€rdefulla att bĂ€ra med sig i fortsatt arbete. Arbetet har Ă€ven resulterat i ett konstaterande att grĂ€nser aktivt behöver gestaltas och att det finns potential i att arbeta med dessa för att skapa en sammanhĂ€ngande helhet i ett gestaltningsarbete. Vidare sĂ„ har Ă€mnet visat sig vara delvis subjektivt. Vad Ă€r det som gör att en plats hĂ€nger ihop och formar en helhet som Ă€r större Ă€n delarna? ÖvergĂ„ngar Ă€r ett stort Ă€mne utan tydliga grĂ€nser och möjligtvis Ă€r det sĂ„ centralt för landskapsarkitekturen att det Ă€r svĂ„rt att separera och göra till sin egen gestaltningskategoriIn the urban landscape there are many transitions between physical objects that can create boundaries. Examples of these could be that the water in a canal is separated from the walking path which is several meters higher up, the beautiful planting can be viewed from the street but offers no place or opportunity to be experienced from within, a park is demarcated abrubtly from a busy road with a large fence or a cut hedge. The work investigates how it is possible to apply ideas about transitions between different physical environments to create a whole in the design that ties together and makes use of these transitions as a potential. In what way is it possible to take advantage of the transitions between different environments in the urban landscape so that borders become encounters that are appreciated by people and animals? By analyzing the circumstances surrounding the design of a future park in Varvsstaden in Malmö, which is located in the borderland between the sea and the dense urban landscape, and with the help of field studies and a literature study on borders and transitions in the landscape, the design proposal Kajparken has been created. Concepts such as ecotone, threshold space, hybrid landscape and niche have been applied in the work with the design proposal and have been assessed as valuable concepts to keep in mind in further work. The work has also resulted in a finding that boundaries need to be actively shaped and that there is potential in working with these to create a coherent whole in a design work. The subject has been shown to be partly subjective. What is it that makes a place hang together and form a whole that is greater than the parts? Transitions are a big subject without clear boundaries and possibly it is so central to landscape architecture that it is difficult to separate and make it its own design categor

    In 2016 138 000 tonnes of new clothes and household textiles were put on the Swedishmarket (Statistics Sweden, 2017). The production of textile products causes significantenvironmental impacts. Business models engaged in reuse, collective use and prolongedlife-time of textiles therefore have a potential to contribute to reduced total textileconsumption and, as a consequence, reduced environmental impacts from textileproduction.Preceding work in Mistra Future Fashion (Watson et al, 2017) identified ten differentsupporting policy instruments for business models that extend active lifetimes ofgarments. The objective of this report is to select three of the previously identified policyinstruments and estimate the economic, environmental, social effects of these. The threepolicy instruments selected for further assessment were:- A wage subsidy earmarked for businesses that extend the active lifetime of textiles- A knowledge hub assisting businesses start up or transition to more circular models- Start-up/transition fund for business models/initiatives that extend the activelifetime of textiles
