Abstract:
In the western world, Islam has been interpreted based on stereotypes of muslims. The stereotype image leads to the fact that many Muslims in Sweden today are forced to face Islamophobia and preconceptions about Islam's meaning. To enhance the image of Islam, lived religion as field of research is useful as it opens the opportunity to study people's lived experiences of religious traditions beyond religious institutions and doctrines. The field can show how religious traditions are expressed in people's everyday lives by lifting the voices of individuals which are not otherwise noted. Lived Islam is thus an area that highlights Muslims' living experiences of Islam in their daily lives. In this essay, lived Islam is studied as it may occur among individuals who define themselves as women and Muslims in Karlstad, Sweden. The aim is to enhance the image of Islam and raise female experiences of Islam. This will broaden the already existing research spectra that usually takes an androcentric perspective. The women's experiences are investigated through life stories interviews. Based on a material perspective on religion, the paper examines how Islam is manifested and expressed through material practices, objects, and different phenomena in the women’s everyday life. The result shows that Islam is described as a framework of how life is interpreted and expected to be lived. Islam is expressed in form of material practices like for example regular prayers, but also as an approach to the outside world. Lived Islam in Karlstad, as it can be expressed among individuals who define themselves as women and Muslims can be said to mean a perspective that encompasses all content in life. The Muslim women in the paper are positive about their life’s in Karlstad, but some elements can also complicate everyday life, such as meetings with preconceptions about Islam and the Muslim woman.

Abstract:
Religious traditions are something that all of us have learnt about in school, even if we do not have a personal connection to a specific religion. Studies have shown that there is a discrepancy between what we learn about religious traditions and religiosity in school, and how religious people practice their faith in everyday life. How the religious tradition plays a part of an individual’s identity is not something that school textbooks specifically explains. For example, the course material does not mention how geographical context affects a person’s religiosity, even though the course curriculum, that is being studied in this thesis clearly states that you have to give examples of how different aspects of someone’s identity affect their religious identity.    This thesis discusses how Lived Religion can be included in course material as well as in the teaching of religious education in school in order to give a more accurate and more democratic picture of religiosity. Lived religion is a perspective that capture how individuals express their religious tradition and how religiosity could look like in different contexts. To use Lived religion as a complement in education could also help the pupils to achieve what the objectives in the curriculum asks for. Nevertheless, even if Lived religion is a helpful compliment to the traditional way of teaching the topic of religion, this thesis also shows that is it important to be aware of how this new perspective is used. If the perspective of Lived religion is not used correctly in classroom or how you explain someone’s religious identity, it could have greater negative consequences than its positive gain.   The title of this thesis aims to points towards how Lived religion can communicate a more complete picture of what religiosity is. The thesis argues that it is problematic to omit e.g. religious tradition or geographical context from an individual’s identity. That is also one of the main points of Lived religion, which is that religious identity is the religion lived out in the day-to-day life.

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Organtransplantation ger nytt hopp och nytt liv till sjuka patienter. Njursvikt är en kronisk, försvagande sjukdom som påverkar många aspekter av patienternas liv. Den effektivaste behandlingen mot kronisk njursvikt är transplantation. Forskning visar hur patienterna upplever livet efter njurtransplantation.Syfte: Syftet är att sammanställa vetenskapliga artiklar som belyser patienters upplevelse av livet efter njurtransplantation.Metod: Litteraturstudie med tematisk analys av tio vetenskapliga artiklar med kvalitativ ansats.Resultat: Studiens resultat visade att en del av patienterna upplevde många positiva förändringar men det fanns också en del som upplevde ett antal begränsningar. Att leva med en ny njure ledde till en känsla av frihet, glädje, lycka och en möjlighet till att kunna planera mer långsiktigt. Rädsla och oro över att den nya njuren kunde stötas bort, skuld över att ta emot någon annans njure, livslångbehandling och för höga förväntningar ledde till ett begränsat liv. Resultatet visade inte på någon tydlig skillnad mellan kvinnor och mäns upplevelser av livet efter njurtransplantationen men vissa variationer kunde urskiljas.Konklusion: I studien framkom olika aspekter kring hur patienterna såg på livet efter en njurtransplantation. Före uppsatsen förväntade vi oss att patienterna skulle vara lättade då de tidigare varit på gränsen till döden. Men även om patienterna upplevde att de hade en högre livskvalitet efter transplantationen kom det ändå stunder då de misströstade och trodde att förbättringarna endast var tillfälliga.
Background: Organ transplantation gives new hope and new life to patients. Renal failure is a chronic, devastating disease that affects many aspects of the patients' lives. The most effective treatment for chronic kidney failure is transplantation. Research shows how patients experience life after kidney transplantationAim: The aim is to collect scientific articles that highlight the patient's experience of life after transplantation.Method: Literature study with thematic analysis of ten scientific articles with qualitative approach.Results: The study results showed that some of the patients experienced many positive changes, but there were also some who experienced a few limitations. Living with a new kidney led to a sense of freedom, joy, happiness, and opportunity to be able to plan more over a long term. The fear and concern that the new kidney could be rejected, guilt over receiving someone else's kidney, life-long treatment and high expectations led to a limited life. The results showed no significant difference between women’s and men's experiences of life after kidney transplantation, but certain variations could be discerned.Conclusion: The study revealed different aspects of the experience of life after renal transplantation. Before this study was expected only the good aspects and believed that it would only be a relief for patients as the previously lasted on the verge of death. Even if patients feel that they had a better life than before the transplant there are times when they despair, and think that the improvements they experience only temporary.

Full text
Abstract:
The performance of lead-acid batteries for energy storage in photovoltaic/diesel/battery hybrid systems strongly depends on several electrochemical and/or operational factors such as the alloying elements incorporated in the electrode plates, the addition of expander materials to the anode or to the electrolyte, temperature, and the charging regime of the battery. In this study, the influences of the above mentioned factors on battery performance were investigated using cyclic voltammetry and potentiostatic transient techniques supplemented by surface analysis techniques including scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The behaviour of binary lead-calcium and lead-antimony, and ternary lead-calcium-tin and lead-antimony-selenium alloy anodes were compared to that of the pure lead anode. In addition, the effect of ammonium ligno-sulphonate (ALS), as an expander added to the electrolyte, on the anode behaviour, was studied at room (23$\sp\circ$C) and cold (0$\sp\circ$C) temperatures.

Abstract:
The number of men and women suffering from alcohol dependency is increasing.Today there are shortcomings in knowledge about the lived experiences of being a woman or a man with alcohol dependency; knowledge which might be of importance for meeting these individual’s specific care needs. The overall aim of the study was to obtain a deeper understanding of women and men's experience of living with alcohol dependency and being professionally cared for. The qualitative investigation design was exploratory and founded in a life world perspective. Data were collected from fourteen women and fifteen men with alcohol dependency by means of open in-depth interviews and subjected to a phenomenological-hermeneutic analysis. It was found that living with alcohol dependency encompasses a complex but limited life situation in which both women and men strive for social acceptance and adjustment. Women turned out to live a more introverted life than men and presented false facades. Men turned out to live a life in action, risk taking and control. Professional caring was shown to mean availability and confirmation of needs. For men with alcohol dependency professional caring meant support and gentle guidance in their active struggle against their alcohol dependency. For women, professional caring meant having an active caregiver who cherished them and enabled them to rest. Professional caring reduced senses of shame in both women and men. It may be concluded that in order to offer care for men and women with alcohol dependency professional carers have to consider gender specific needs of support and guidance. In addition, in order to alleviate suffering, professional caregivers have to be accessible, supportive and directed toward the alcohol dependent women's and men’s everyday world.

Abstract:
Background: Within palliative care setting persons with terminal illness is cared for. The aim of the care is to enhance the quality of life for the patient through a holistic approach. The disease can lead to major suffering and require the person to handle the situation. If the person´s ability and capacity to do so is insufficient the identity may be perceived as threatened and quality of life diminished. Self-care can help a person to cope with loss of identity, enhance independence and improve quality of life. Aim: The aim of this study is to explore self-care strategies of patients within palliative care setting.   Methods: The work is a systematic literature review based on ten scientific articles. Both qualitative and quantitative articles are used. Meaningful units in relation to the aim of the study were identified in the result of the articles and  analyzed. New themes and subthemes were formed. In the discussion the result is discussed with Orem self-care deficit nursing theory. Results: The results identified various self-care actions aimed at enhancing the quality of life. Two themes were identified, one theme was to live until death and describes various self-care strategies, where the aim is to maintain normatility and identity. The second theme was to be within the sick body and consisted of strategies related to the disease from which the person suffered. Discussions: The discussion discussed and strengthened the results by linking to literature in other contexts, and Orem´s self-care deficit nursing theory. We argue for the importance of self-care for the whole person and supports this with the reasoning of Orem.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was two-fold: firstly, the MOCVD deposition behavior of Pb(thd)2 was studied in detail and a one-dimensional kinetic model was proposed to successfully predict the effect of processing conditions on the deposition rate profile for PbO. Assuming the surface reaction is the rate-limiting step in the process, the effective activation energy for the process, Ea, was found to be 82 kJ/mol while the preexponential rate constant was found to be 33 g/cm2/min (0.15 moVcm2/min). The process was found to consistently produce a combination of the high temperature, orthorhombic modification of lead monoxide with randomly oriented plates of tetragonal lead monoxide. TEM electron diffraction was used to investigate the crystal orientation of the individual plates which was found to be in the plane normal to the <201> zone.

Secondly, the deposition behavior of PbTi03 and the resulting film structure and properties were investigated. Pb(thd)2 was used in conjunction with titanium ethoxide (Ti(OEt)4) as a titanium source. Stoichiometric lead titanate films which were found to be smooth, specular and transparent, and well-adhered were deposited on a variety of substrates by careful control of the experimental conditions. Film structure, composition, and thickness were studied and correlated to changes in various experimental parameters. Additionally, a high temperature regime at which the film stoichiometry is relatively insensitive to experimental conditions was found to occur. The effects of post-annealing on the as-deposited films including compositional changes, morphological changes and crystal structure was also studied. Some problems were obtained with film peeling on the ruthenium oxide (Ru02)-coated substrates which could be alleviated somewhat by the use of (100) oriented silicon wafer rather than (111) oriented silicon; a possible mechanism to explain this behavior is also suggested. Optical properties were obtained using UV -VISNIR transmission and reflectance spectroscopy; the ferroelectric hysteresis behavior of the films was observed using standard R T -66 A test equipment.

Abstract:
Although motivation to lead (MTL) was characterized as stable, recent research suggested otherwise. This study explored the malleability of MTL and its predictors. Individuals with high affective-identity MTL are motivated to lead because they enjoy leading. Individuals with high social normative MTL are motivated by an obligation to lead. Individuals with high noncalculative MTL are drawn to leadership because they avoid weighing the costs and benefits of leading. Applicants to a California college were sent a questionnaire on MTL and leadership self-efficacy (LSE) (Time 1 assessment, N = 2704). Four years later (Time 2), participants who responded at Time 1 were sent a survey on motivation to lead, leadership self-efficacy, college leadership experience, and leader identity (LID) (N = 96). Results showed that participants’ affective-identity and noncalculative MTL have decreased over time. Leadership self-efficacy at Time 2 and leader identity at Time 2 were related to the changes in all 3 categories of MTL. Only specific college leadership experiences related to changes in affective-identity MTL. Lastly, leader identity at Time 2 mediated the relationship between affective-identity MTL at Time 1 and Time 2. Most high school students applied to college aspiring to be leaders, but only students who cultivate their leader identity should continue to be motivated to lead. Implications are discussed in the context of the construct validity of MTL, specifically for student leadership development in higher education.

Still, Michael Charles William. "Roman lead sealings." Thesis, University College London (University of London), 1995. http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/1317870/.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis is based on a catalogue of c.1800 records, covering over 2000 examples of Roman lead sealings, many previously unpublished. The catalogue is provided with indices of inscriptions and of anepigraphic designs, and subsidiary indices of places, military units, private individuals and emperors mentioned on the sealings. The main part of the thesis commences with a history of the use of lead sealings outside of the Roman period, which is followed by a new typology (the first since c.1900) which puts special emphasis on the use of form as a guide to dating. The next group of chapters examine the evidence for use of the different categories of sealings, i.e. Imperial, Official, Taxation, Provincial, Civic, Military and Miscellaneous. This includes evidence from impressions, form, texture of reverse, association with findspot and any literary references which may help. The next chapter compares distances travelled by similar sealings and looks at the widespread distribution of identical sealings of which the origin is unknown. The first statistical chapter covers imperial sealings. These can be assigned to certain periods and can thus be subjected to the type of analysis usually reserved for coins. The second statistical chapter looks at the division of categories of sealings within each province. The sealings in each category within each province are calculated as percentages of the provincial total and are then compared with an adjusted percentage for that category in the whole of the empire. The final chapter is based on the iconography found in the impressions on the sealings. This includes the styles of imperial portraits, deities, animals, inanimate objects, designs which may come from outside of the empire, similar impressions on other items, epigraphic styles and possible examples of matrices.

Full text
Abstract:
In this study, Mg, Sn, Cd, Bi and Sb containing, five binary, three ternary and two quaternary different alloys to be used in a Valve-Regulated Lead-Acid (VRLA) batteries have been studied in terms of their mechanical and electrochemical properties. The investigated properties are hardness, passivity, corrosion rate, hydrogen gassing and the conductivity of the passive film. All electrochemical tests were carried out in 3.75 M H2SO4 solution by using open-circuit potential, anodic polarization, polarization resistance measurement and gas collection techniques. The results showed that while the minimum hardness values were observed in Pb and Pb-Bi alloy, Mg containing alloys have the highest hardness values among all alloys. According to corrosion measurements, lowest icritical value was obtained for Pb, Pb-Bi and Pb-Sn, which reached to passivation region earlier than others. Passive film formation was seen for all specimens. The noble Ecorr value and minimum corrosion rates belonged to Pb and Pb-Mg. Pb-Bi and Pb-Cd have the highest gas evolution rate. Besides, there were not seen much difference in the gassing behavior of Pb-Sn and Pb-Sb alloys. Mg is found to have a superior effect on hydrogen gassing. Addition of Sn, as an alloying element, to lead increases the conductivity of the passivation layer. Mg containing alloys did not show good conductivity characteristic. As a result, Mg containing alloy seemed to have an important role because of the desired hardness, corrosion and, gas evolution behavior. However, conductivity of passivation layer of these alloys came up to be low due to the higher tendency of Mg to oxidation. Even so, Mg seems to be a promising alloying element for lead grid alloys in Valve-Regulated Lead-Acid (VRLA) batteries.

Abstract:
Lead users have been shown to be a highly promising source of innovation for generating radical new product ideas. According to lead user theory, these users are defined as being ahead of an important market trend and experiencing high benefits from innovating. There is strong empirical support that these users tend to come up with commercially attractive user innovations. Other than that, however, there is hardly any knowledge available which helps to describe and differentiate this "species" of user from more "ordinary" users. The present article aims to fill this gap and extends lead user theory by exploring some antecedents and consequences of consumers' "lead userness". As regards antecedents, it is argued that a consumer's leading-edge status will depend on field-related as well as field-independent variables. First, it is hypothesized that a consumer's basis of knowledge and use experience gained in the underlying field will help explain one's lead userness. Second, it is hypothesized that the two general personality traits of "locus of control" and "innovativeness" will be related to users' leading-edge status in a given domain. As regards consequences, this article develops a link between individuals' lead userness and new product adoption behavior. It is hypothesized that lead users will demonstrate innovative behavior not only by innovating on their own, but also by adopting new products faster and more intensively. These tenets are tested in the course of three studies on extreme sports communities (sailplaners [n=129], technical divers [n=193], and kite surfers [n=139]). Overall, findings are throughout affirmative. First, it is found that the proposed antecedents (both field-related as well as both field-independent variables) are strongly related to consumer's lead userness. These findings have important implications: One major challenge of the lead user method has been the reliable and efficient identification of leading-edge users in the first place. Findings related to antecedents suggest that these variables might be employed to improve the lead user search process - they might be used as a proxy to identify the rare "species" of lead users. Second, also the proposed consequence of being a lead user finds strong empirical support: Lead user tend to adopt new products faster and more intensively than other users. These findings suggest that lead users might be highly valuable to companies beyond the fuzzy front end of generating radically new product ideas. Lead users might also be relevant to more general product development and marketing issues. For example, they might be integrated into new product concept testing methods and "lead userness" might serve as an additional positioning variable for the marketing of new products.

Abstract:
HIV är en av de största epidemierna i världen och i Sverige lever ca 5300 personer med HIV idag. HIV är en långvarig sjukdom där behandlingen består av bromsmediciner. Över hela världen är HIV förknippat med fördomar. Att drabbas av HIV innebär stora påfrestningar och omvälvningar i livet. Många upplever en känsla av skam, stigma och diskriminering vilket kan leda till ett lidande. Vårdpersonal behöver kunskap om HIV-sjukdomen och hur den upplevs av personer. Det kan hjälpa vårdpersonalen i vården av och i mötet med HIV-smittade personer. Syftet är att beskriva personers upplevelser av att få diagnosen HIV och hur det är att leva med sjukdomen. Uppsatsen är en litteraturstudie baserat på vårdvetenskapliga artiklar med kvalitativ inriktning. En litteratursökning i vårdvetenskapliga databaser gjordes vilket resulterade i tio artiklar som kvalitetsgranskades och analyserades. Likheter och skillnader i studiernas resultat identifierades och utmynnade i två huvudteman och åtta subteman. Upplevelser i samband med diagnos beskriver olika reaktioner i samband med att personerna får sin diagnos och känslan av att vara annorlunda. Att leva sitt liv med HIV beskriver hur personerna lever vidare, betydelsen av omgivningens stöd och upplevelser av möten i vården. Det mest framträdande i resultatet är livsförändring, stigmatisering, andlighet och upplevelser av möten i vården, vilka tas upp i diskussionen. Där betonas också vikten av att vårdpersonalen individanpassar vården, utgår ifrån ett livsvärldsperspektiv och att han/hon bemöter individen med respekt och värdighet.

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Hjärtsjukdomar är en av de vanligaste sjukdomar som människor drabbas av i Sverige. Sjuksköterskor möter därmed patienter med hjärtsjukdom i de flesta vårdkontexter. Kronisk hjärtsjukdom kan upplevas som att leva med en livshotande sjukdom, som skapar begränsningar i vardagen. Sjuksköterskans ansvar blir således betydande gällande att informera och handleda patienter med hjärtsjukdom. Livsstilsförändringar är nödvändiga att utföra i syfte att förhindra försämring i sjukdomen. Sjuksköterskans kunskap och expertis är därför nödvändig för att hjälpa patienterna att hantera sjukdomen och utföra livsstilsförändringar.  Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva patienters upplevelse av att leva med hjärtsjukdom. Metod: En litteraturöversikt som baseras på Fribergs metod. Översikten innehåller elva originalartiklar som har sökts fram via databaserna CINAHL Complete och Academic Search Ultimate. Resultat: Sex teman identifierats gällande patienters upplevelse av att leva med hjärtsjukdom. De upplevelser som framkom beskrivs i följande teman: Upplevelser av förändrat liv, Strategier för att hantera hjärtsjukdomen, Patienters upplevelse av stöd, Behov av information, Patienters livsstilsförändringar och Hjärtsjukdom som motgång i livet. Diskussion: Resultatet diskuteras med anknytning till Roys adaptionsmodell och konsensusbegreppet människan. Modellen lyfter en förklaring av patienters upplevelser och hantering av hjärtsjukdomen genom ett förändrat liv och anpassning till den nya livssituationen. Dessa individuella upplevelser möter sjuksköterskorna i omvårdnaden av patienter.
Background: Heart disease is one of the most common diseases that people in Sweden suffers from. Nurses meet these patients in most contexts of caring. Chronic heart disease can be experienced as living with a life-threatening disease, which create limitations in everyday life. Nurses’ responsibility to inform and guide patients with heart disease is therefore important. Lifestyle changes are necessary to accomplish in order to prevent worsening of the disease. Nurses’ knowledge and expertise is therefore necessary in order to help patients manage the disease and make lifestyle changes. Aim: The aim of this study was to describe patients’ experience of living with heart disease.  Method: A literature review that is based on Fribergs method. The review is consisted of eleven original articles, which have been found through the databases CINAHL Complete and Academic Search Ultimate. Results: Six main themes was identified regarding patients experiences of living with heart disease. The experiences that emerged will be described in the following themes: Experiences of changed life, Strategies to manage the heart disease, Patients’ experiences of support, Information needs, Patients lifestyle changes and Heart disease as a adversity in life. Discussion: The results are discussed related to Roys adaption model and the consensus concept human. The model highlights an explanation of patients’ experiences and management of the heart disease through a changed life and adaptation to the new situation. These individual experiences encounter nurses in the care of patients.

Abstract:
Personer som överlevt hjärtstopp, eller som löper stor risk att drabbas av allvarlig ventrikulär arytmi, kan skyddas mot framtida livshotande arytmier med en implanterbar defibrillator (ICD). För att bryta kammartakykardier kan ICD:n avge högvoltschocker från en elektrod i höger kammare. Chockerna upplevs av många som smärtsamma. Många personer som fått en ICD implanterad beskriver ökad oro och ångest. Syftet var att belysa personers upplevelser och erfarenheter av att leva med ICD. Som metod valdes litteraturöversikt. Efter sökning i databaserna PubMed och CINAHL inkluderades 15 kvalitativa intervjustudier publicerade 2009-2018. Dessa analyserades utifrån kvalitativ innehållsanalys och resulterade i fyra kategorier; Ett oförutsägbart liv, Ett förändrat liv, Vägen framåt och Trygg trots allt. Dessa kan beskrivas som steg i en trappa. Resultatet i denna litteraturöversikt visade att många beskrev den första tiden efter ICDimplantationen som svår, med smärtor, oro och depression. Livet beskrevs ha blivit förändrat och rädsla för ICD-chocker upplevdes ha stor påverkan i det dagliga livet. Genom självpåtagna begränsningar försökte personerna kontrollera sin situation för att förebygga chocker. De flesta kunde efter en tid acceptera ICD-behandlingen som en del av livet och anpassade sig till situationen. Kategorin Trygg trots allt var inte ett konstant tillstånd, då en upplevd ICD-chock kunde rasera tryggheten och föra processen bakåt. Slutsatsen var att det mesta som berättades berörde chocken, hur den kändes, rädsla för chock, vad som kan utlösa en chock och hur den kan undvikas. ICD-chocken blev något som berörde varje aspekt av livet. Ändå fann många en ny balans där ICD:n blev en del av livet och accepterades som en livvakt. Stöd från vårdpersonal var viktigt för att uppleva trygghet, men ett personcentrerat stöd behöver utvecklas.
Persons who survived sudden cardiac arrest or who are at risk for severe ventricular arrythmias, can be protected from future life-threatening arrythmias by an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). To terminate ventricular arrythmias, the ICD can deliver high-voltage shocks from an electrode placed in the right ventricle. The shocks are by most people felt to be painful. Many persons who have an ICD implanted, experience increased anxiety and distress. The aim if the study was to illustrate persons’ experiences of living with an ICD The chosen method was a literature review. After searching the databases PubMed and CINAHL, 15 qualitative interview studies, published between 2009 and 2019, were included. These were analyzed with qualitative content analysis and resulted in four categories; An unpredictable life, A changed life, The road ahead and Safe anyway. These categories can be described as four steps. The result of this literature review showed that many described the first period after ICD implantation as difficult, including pain, anxiety and depression. Life was experienced to have changed and fear of ICD-shocks was considered to have great impact on daily life. Through self-imposed restrictions the persons tried to control their situation to prevent shocks. Most persons could by time accept the ICD-treatment as a part of life and adjusted to the situation. The level Safe anyway was not a constant condition as an experience of shock diminished safety and brought the process backward. The conclusion was that most what was narrated concerned the shock, what it felt like, fear of shock, what might trigger a shock and how to avoid it. The ICD shock was something that affected every aspect of life. Still many found a new balance in life where the ICD became an important part of life and was accepted as a body guard. Support from health professionals was important to experience safety but a person-centered support needs to be developed.

Abstract:
Previous field studies of hunter-harvested mourning doves (Zenaida macroura) have reported lead (Pb) shot ingestion rates of 1 &ndash 6.5%. However, considerable uncertainty exists concerning mechanisms affecting pellet ingestion across different habitats. To reduce some of this uncertainty, an experiment was conducted to test the Pb shot ingestion rate of mourning doves on bare soil (typical of a managed dove field). Wild doves were trapped and held in captivity 5 &ndash 13 weeks prior to treatment. One week prior to treatment, a blood sample was taken from each bird before placement in open-bottomed treatment pens on a disked field. Each of 3 treatment groups of 80 birds was divided into 35 low density (1.5 million pellets/ha), 35 high density (29.5 million pellets/ha), and 10 control (0 pellets/ha) animals. Five positive control birds were gavage &ndash dosed with 2 Pb shot in trials 2 and 3. Pb shot and mixed seed were scattered uniformly on the loosely packed soil of their pens and birds were exposed for 4 days. Birds were x &ndash rayed post &ndash treatment on days 2 and 4 for the presence of Pb shot in the digestive system, and euthanized following the drawing of a blood sample on day 4. Overall, 2.9% of doves voluntarily ingested &ge 1 pellet. The shot ingestion rate for birds in the high density Pb treatment (4.9%) was not statistically different (P = 0.0977) from birds in the low density Pb treatment (1.0%). Pb concentrations in liver, kidneys, and blood reached maxima of 94.402, 346.033, and 13.883 ppm wet weight, respectively, and were statistically greater in birds that had ingested shot than in controls (P < 0.0083). Delta-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (ALAD) activity decreased by an average of 92.2% post-treatment as compared to pre-treatment in birds that had ingested shot, while increasing by 1.1% in control birds. Heterophil:lymphocyte ratio increased by 28.2% in birds that ingested shot as compared to 1.5% in controls, while packed cell volume decreased by 7.6% in birds that ingested shot and 0.6% in controls. No significant difference in weight among groups was observed post-treatment (P = 0.3131). If managers deem the number of mourning doves at risk of Pb shot ingestion unacceptable, some options are to ban Pb shot either on entire management areas or only on high shot deposition areas like dove fields, or to disk fields after dove hunting to reduce Pb shot availability.

Sammanfattning

Detta är en fenomenografisk undersökning av konststuderandes upplevelse och uppfattning av skrivande som har koppling till den gestaltande processen. Nio studenter från flera olika högskolor har intervjuats. Både fri konst och tillämpad konst finns som inriktningar bland studenterna. Studenternas egna texter och deras oppositioner eller examensutställningar har legat till grund för intervjuerna och för tolkningen av dessa. Vid kategoriseringen har jag utgått både från uppfattning och upplevelse. Studenterna uppfattar skrivandet som ett reflexionsverktyg, ett kommunikationsverktyg, som både ett kommunikations- och ett reflexionsverktyg samt som en färdighet. Alla dessa uppfattningar förkommer i kombination med olika upplevelser.

De flesta studenter i undersökningen har upplevt skrivandet mödosamt. Ändå är det tydligt att samtliga uppfattar avgörande kvalitéer i det. Flera antyder att de har gått från en negativ till en positiv uppfattning under tiden som de arbetat med sin examenstext. Studenterna berättar också om kurskamrater som ändrat sig på vägen och hittat ett verktyg i skrivandet även om de varit mycket negativt inställda från början. Det finns, bland de studenter som deltar i undersökningen, olika val av estetik och olika förhållningssätt till skrivande. Man kan inte se att en viss typ av estetik skulle generera ett särskilt förhållningssätt till skrivandet. Det finns heller ingenting som säger att en givande skrivprocess är beroende av att man har lätt för att skriva. Någon som har lätt för att skriva kan uppleva processen förfärlig medan en annan student som måste kämpa med varje ord hittar ett nytt verktyg i sin konstnärliga process. Det mödosamma med skrivprocessen handlar om något annat än skrivproblem. Den här undersökningen indikerar att ett framgångsrikt skrivande skapar självförtroende och stödjer studenten i hans konstnärliga process. Den pedagogiska konsekvensen av undersökningen är att skrivandet inom institutionerna bör utvecklas. Det behöver komma in tidigare i utbildningen så att studenterna inte blir så stressade inför sina examensarbeten. De olika institutionerna måste ha en tydlig linje i frågan. Texterna behöver diskuteras på samma sätt som de gestaltande arbetena. Då är det förstås inte svensk grammatik som behöver diskuteras utan textens innehåll i relation till studentens gestaltande arbete.


SUMMARY

The experience of writing in art education

A phenomenografic study of the experiences of, and an understanding of the writing process in art education.

This is a qualitative study of how students in art education feel about and understand the writing process connected with their creative process. Nine students from different academies have been interviewed. Students from academies with both contemporary art and applied art are included in this study. The students' own written texts, their final exhibitions or their examinations have been the basis for the interviews and their interpretations. The data was analysed with a basis in both experiencing and understanding writing.

Writing is understood as a tool for reflection and self-communication and as a tool for communication with others as well as a tool for communicating aesthetics and one’s position in the art field. Writing is also understood as a tool used for the writing of applications for exhibitions and scholarships. These understandings exist in combinations with different experiences.

Most students in the investigation have experienced the writing process to be a laborious task, even though it is clear that every one understand the worth in writing. Some suggest that they have turned from having had a negative, to a positive understanding of the worth of writing during the process. The students also relate how other students have found the writing process awful from the start but have changed during the journey and found writing to be a useful tool. Among the students in this investigation there are individuals with different aesthetics and with different relationships to writing in general. It is not possible to find that a special kind of aesthetics relates to a certain relation to writing, nor is there anything to show that a positive relation to writing in general generates a good writing process in artistic contexts. A person who writes without trouble can find it difficult to write about their own artistic work, but others who struggle at every word can find the writing as a good tool to use in their art process. The problem with writing for students is something quite different than spelling and grammar. This investigation indicates that successful writing gives self-confidence and helps students in the creative process. The logical educational consequence based on this investigation should be a development of the writing process in creative education. Writing should be implemented early-on in the course, before the students start their exam work. The academies need to have a clear position/opinion of writing as a tool in the students learning process. It is important to discuss the students’ texts and continuously compare the content with their practical artwork.

Abstract : The present paper deals with pilgrimage that takes place in Bahia's hinterland, specifically in the southwest of the state, in the city of Maracás. The perspective from the pilgrimage leaders - important individuals in its realization - constituted its central focus. Through their stories, we sought for an understanding about the practices and the reasons that take pilgrims to peregrinate, at the same time that we understand how the pilgrimage leaders build themselves as they are. The paper approaches the others pilgrim?s perspective who are not leaders, mainly in the last chapter, in which one can notice the diversity of motivations shared by the pilgrims to go on a pilgrimage every year. The reasons presented are only exemplificative but exhaustive such as: paying promises, socializing, curiosity, duty, tradition, knowledge, etc. Most of these motivations have already been approached in previous works, but in a different way. While some of the pilgrimage practices are dealt as secular, in a sense that they are not in the holy setting, here we opted to deal with them as a whole while inherent to religiosity. Bearing in mind the auto-attribution of the interlocutors from the ethnographic field, the present research proposes an alternative to the understanding of pilgrimage as a multisemantic phenomenon, multifaceted in constant transformation, even being based on what is called tradition, for one does not excluded the other.

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Bröstcancer är vanligt i Sverige. Behandlingar vid bröstcancer leder till biverkningar som påverkar kvinnors levda kropp och sexualitet vilket skapar ett stort lidande. Det är sjuksköterskan ansvar att förebygga och lindra lidande. Det behövs en djupgående förståelse av patienters upplevelser vid bröstcancer för att sjuksköterska ska kunna bedriva en adekvat omvårdnad. Syfte: Att belysa kvinnors upplevelse av förändring i sin levda kropp vid bröstcancer. Metod: En beskrivande innebördsanalys av självbiografier. Resultat: Det framkom en upplevelse av stympning efter mastektomi och en rädsla för håravfall. Det fanns en förlust av den kvinnliga identiteten. Orkeslöshet var vanligt efter behandlingarna vilket påverkade vardagen. Oro fanns över vad andra tyckte om den nya kroppen. Sexualiteten försämrades och påverkade den levda kroppen. Rörelseförmågan upplevdes sämre efter behandlingarna. Trots alla biverkningar fanns en acceptans hos kvinnorna för den nya kroppen. Konklusion: Den levda kroppen och sexualiteten förändras vid bröstcancer och både den mentala och fysiska hälsan påverkas. Sjuksköterskan behöver prata och lyssna på patienten för att kunna ge en adekvat, personcentrerad vård.
Background: Breast cancer is common in Sweden. Breast cancer treatment results in side effects that affect their lived body and sexuality which cause tremendous suffering. The nurses’ responsibility is to prevent and relieve suffering. There is a need for a deeper understanding of patients’ experiences when diagnosed with breast cancer for the nurse to be able to give adequate care. Aim: To illustrate women experiences of changes in their lived body when diagnosed with breast cancer. Method: A qualitative study with descriptive content analysis of autobiographies. Result: An experience of being maimed after going through a mastectomy and a fear of hair loss emerged. There was a lost of the female identity. It was common to feel lack of energy during the treatment which affected everyday life. There was a concern about others thoughts regarding the new body. Sexuality was impaired and it affected their lived body. The ability to move became partially impaired after the treatments. Despite all side effects women started to accept their new body. Conclusion: The lived body and sexuality changes in connection with breast cancer. Both mental and physical health was impaired. The nurse needs to talk and listen to every patient to be able to give adequate, individual care.

Abstract:
In new low-lead and lead-free brass alloys, it is not understood how the corrosion properties,such as dezincification, are related to material composition as well as annealing temperatureand duration. This study aims to fill this knowledge gap by mapping sixteen annealingconditions and three different brass alloy compositions to their respective microstructure anddezincification performance. It was found that high dezincification depth was a result ofannealing temperatures at 300°C – 400°C, which promoted precipitation of intermetallicAlAs-particles along grain boundaries, twins and lead particles as well as precipitation of β-phase along grain boundaries. Their presence was correlated to high micro additions ofaluminium or iron in the material composition. An additional compositional factorcontributing to precipitation of high amount of β-phase was low copper/zinc-ratio.

Abstract:
Multiple Skleros (MS) är en autoimmun sjukdom som drabbar kroppens egna immunförsvar. 75 % av de som drabbas av MS är mellan 20-40 år och majoriteten är kvinnor. Det vanligaste symtomet vid MS är fatigue. Den yttrar sig som en obeveklig trötthet som inte försvinner vid vila eller sömn. Syftet med denna studie var att belysa patienters upplevelser av att leva med MS-relaterad fatigue. Metoden som användes var litteraturstudie med en kvalitativ innehållsanalys där sju vårdvetenskapliga artiklar analyserades. I resultatet framkom 10 kategorier baserade på patienters upplevelser av att leva med MS-relaterad fatigue. Dessa upplevelser beskrivs mestadels i metaforer.Kategorierna handlar om att fatigue är en ständig följeslagare, kroppen blir ett hinder, fatigue tar all energi, fatigue ger en känsla av berusning, fatigue skapar beroende, vardagen blir en kamp, inte bli förstådd, förlora kontrollen, ett hinder i den sociala vardagen och en emotionell berg- och dalbana. Fatigue är ett komplicerat symtom där många patienter lider i det tysta. Fatigue påverkar hela kroppen och kan uppstå på ett ögonblick. Personer som lider av fatigue pendlar därför mycket i sitt välbefinnande. Då fatigue är svårt för utomstående att förstå, skapar den problem med arbetsliv, familj och vänner. Det är viktigt att motivera och uppmuntra dessa patienter till träning och socialt umgänge då detta ökar deras välbefinnande och förhindrar isolering. Mer forskning behövs för att belysa den problematik som fatigue utgör

Single-origin dark chocolate samples derived from cocoa grown in developing countries from around the world were analyzed to determine their lead concentrations and the isotopic composition of the lead. The lead isotope ratios were compared with published data from aerosols and volcanic rocks nearest to the cocoa growing regions. Samples from different countries and manufacturers were compared, and we conclude that the source of lead depends on the country of origin and not the manufacturer. Chocolates grown in the Northern Hemisphere usually had lead isotope ratios that matched the global atmospheric lead isotopic signature from the Northern Hemisphere. Chocolates grown in the Southern Hemisphere did not match the global signature, but rather more closely matched the lead isotopic signature from volcanic rocks in their respective countries, and had a lower average lead concentration than chocolates from the Northern Hemisphere. Soils from Venezuela were also analyzed, and confirmed the conclusion that atmospheric lead is the predominant source of bioavailable lead. Many of the chocolates also had lead concentrations below the limit of 0.1 ppm set by the FDA; however, one manufacturer, Dagoba, consistently had lead concentrations above the limit. The percent of cocoa in each chocolate bar was also compared with the lead concentrations, concluding that the concentration of lead is not necessarily dependent on the amount of cocoa in the bar.

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Prostatacancer är den vanligaste cancerformen som drabbar män i Sverige. Sjukdomen skapar olika besvär som påverkar männens dagliga liv. Under sjukdomsförloppet upplever männen att de förlorar sin värdighet. Som sjuksköterska är det viktigt att se till hela patienten och ge en personcentrerad omvårdnad utifrån omvårdnadsdiagnoser. Syfte: Att belysa mäns upplevelse av att leva med prostatacancer. Metod: Litteraturstudie med kvalitativ design. Data hämtades från 12 vetenskapliga artiklar. Resultat: Studien utmynnade i fem kategorier som männen upplevde: informationsbehov, förlorad värdighet, oro för egen dödlighet, upplevelse av olika stöd och anpassning av vardagen. Slutsats: Männens vardag påverkas av sjukdomen prostatacancer och de behöver stöd i olika former. Sjuksköterskan bör möta männen på deras nivå och ge männen en individanpassad omvårdnad.
Background: Prostate cancer is the most common form of cancer that afflicts men in Sweden. The affliction creates different struggles that affect the men’s daily lives. During the progress of the disease the men experience a loss of their dignity. As a nurse it is important to care for the patient as a whole and provide a personal care, related to the nursing diagnosis of the patient. Aim: To shed light on the experiences of the men who are currently living with prostate cancer. Method: A study of literature focusing on qualitative data. Data was gathered from 12 scientific articles. Result: The study led to five categories that the men experienced: The lack of information, loss of dignity, anxiety surrounding own mortality, experience of different support forms and adjustment of the everyday life. Conclusion: The men’s daily lives are affected extensively by the disease prostate cancer and they need different forms of support. The nurse should level with the men in order to provide an individual care.

Schizofreni är en allvarlig, psykisk sjukdom med mentala störningar och förlust av kontakt med verkligheten. Sjukdomen påverkar hela personens livssituation. Syftet med denna litteratur studie var att beskriva hur det är att leva med schizofreni. Metoden som används var en litteraturstudie. En samlingsnovell med patientens berättelse och tre självbiografier av människor som själv upplevd schizofreni har analyserats samt en roman av en författare som var i nära kontakt med en schizofren patient. De analyserades enligt Lyckhage modellen för att analysera berättelser. Sju kategorier har framkommit i resultaten som uttrycks med: Leva i en främmande och ond värld, Självmord, Relation till vårdpersonalen, Familjen och närstående, Självuppfattning, Att uppleva ångestattacker, samt Inre röster och hallucinationer.


Schizophrenia is a serious psychological disease with mental disorder and loss of reality. The disease affects the whole life situation for the individual. The aim with this literature review was to describe how it is to live with schizophrenia. The method that is used is literature studies which means that a collection of different patients´ stories, three biographies written by people who themselves have experienced schizophrenia have been analysed but also a novel written by an author who was in close relation with a schizophrenic patient. These materials have been analysed according to Lyckhage´s model for analysing stories. Eight categories have emerged in the result giving utterance to: To live in an alien and evil world, suicide, relation to the nursing staff, family and relatives, self-concept, experiencing anxiety attacks, and inner voices and hallucinations.

Results: Four different themes were found: Feeling different; Disturbing symptoms; Searching for answers; Care treatment. Each of these themes offered areas of improvement in regard to nursing care. Conclusions: Extra attention to the psychosocial aspects of health for women with PCOS should be taken to improve nursing care. The exchange of information between nursing staff and patients needs to be better adapted to the individual informational needs of women with PCOS.

Abstract:
Legislation arising from health and environmental concerns has intensified research into finding suitable alternatives to lead-based electroceramics. Lead zirconate titanate (PZT) has been developed over several decades to become the market-leading piezoelectric ceramic. Lead-free solid solutions based on sodium potassium niobate, Na0.5K0.5NbO3 (NKN), show promising dielectric and piezoelectric properties. 1-2 The related (l-x)( Na0.5K0.5NbO3)-xBiScO3 binary system (NKN-BS) has been reported to exhibit maximum d33 values of 200 pCIN at 2 mol% BS.3 Similarly, an optimal d33 value has been reported for the binary NKN-LT system at 5-6 mol% LiTa03.4 In this work, a series of compositions along the compositional join in the ternary NKN-LT-BS system, extending from 0. Na0.5K0.5NbO3 -0.02BiScO3 toward LiTa03 have been prepared and characterized. A 0.98[0.98NKN - 0.02(LiTaO3)] - 0.02[BiScO3] (NKN- 2L T -2BS) composition showed enhanced piezoelectric properties, relative to similar compositions, with d33 values of 215 pCIN. This can be attributed to a phase content of mixed orthorhombic (or monoclinic) and tetragonal phases at ambient temperatures. Variable temperature X-ray diffraction (XRD), and dielectric measurements as a function of temperature, indicated phase transitions (on heating) from an orthorhombic (or monoclinic) crystal system to tetragonal and then cubic crystal systems at ~25°C and ~370°C respectively. Different types of dielectric behaviour were observed on increasing the LT content. A NKN-5%LT-2%BS composition exhibited twin dielectric peaks at high temperatures (~370°C and ~470°C), along with broad X-ray diffraction peaks and a fine grain size, < 0.5 μm. The twin dielectric peaks suggest that chemical inhomogeneities may have been present; this was examined using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) with energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX). Elemental segregation was observed within individual grains, such that a core-shell grain structure was evident. The twin high temperature dielectric peaks are attributed to the separate response from the core and shell regions, each of which have a characteristic Curie temperature range. Subsequently, a series of other compositions were prepared in the wider Na0.5K0.5NbO3 - LiTaO3-BiScO3 ternary system. Considering the combined data from XRD, dielectric measurements, SEM, TEM and piezoelectric properties for a wide range of compositions within the NKN-rich region of the NKN-LT-BS system, materials may be grouped into three categories, exhibiting the following defining characteristics. Type I: single, sharp dielectric Curie peak (~ 370°C); single phase by XRD; large grain size (5-10μm); chemically uniform by TEM-EDX. Type II: broad, single dielectric peak (~ 350°C); single phase by XRD; large grain size; no obvious chemical segregation. Type Ila: twin, broad dielectric peak(s) (~ 370°C and ~ 470°C); broad XRD peaks; small grain size (~ O.5μm); chemical segregation (core-shell structure) identified by TEM-EDX. Reasons for the properties of these three classes of material are discussed; comparisons are drawn with other lead-free dielectrics and piezoelectrics; finally, the potential of the materials in future device applications are considered.

Abstract:
Introduktion. Endometrios är en inflammatorisk, kronisk östrogenberoende sjukdom i endometriet. Symtom kan vara smärta, dysparenui, infertilitet och minskad prestationsförmåga på grund av tröttheten. Det är svårt att ställa diagnos då endometrios kan vara svårupptäckt på grund av ospecifika symtomen. Syfte. Att undersöka hur kvinnor med endometrios påverkas av sin sjukdom. Metod. I denna studie användes litteraturöversikt som metod. Fjorton originalartiklar, både kvalitativa och kvantitativa, publicerade i vetenskapliga tidskrifter har studerats. Resultat. Endometrios påverkar kvinnors vardagliga liv negativt, på ett socialt, psykiskt och fysiskt plan. Ett av de stora problemen kvinnorna har är smärta, som kommer till följd av sjukdomen. Smärtan påverkar många aspekter negativt så som arbetet, vardagslivet och det sociala livet. De upplever att sjukdomen inte tas på allvar av omgivningen och sjukvårdspersonal har bristande kunskap och förståelse. Diskussion. Bristen på kunskap om sjukdomen bland sjukvårdspersonal bidrar till att kvinnor inte blir sedda och rätt behandlade. Att kvinnor negligeras kan leda till social isolering och psykisk ohälsa. Slutsats. En ökad kunskap och förståelse hos sjukvårdspersonal skulle bidra till bättre omvårdnad, behandling och omhändertagande av kvinnorna, vilket kan öka deras välbefinnande. Mer forskning behövs om sjukdomens etiologi och omvårdnad.
Introduction. Endometriosis is an inflammatory, chronic estrogen dependent disorder of the endometrium. Symptoms can include pain, dyspareunia, infertility and decreased performance due to fatigue. It’s difficult to diagnose as endometriosis can be difficult to detect because of nonspecific symptoms. Purpose. To investigate how women with endometriosis are affected by their disease. Method. In this study a literature review were used as method. Fourteen original articles published in scientific journals were studied. Results. Endometriosis affects women's daily lives negatively, socially, psychologically and physically. One of the major problem women had were pain, which comes as a result of the disease. The pain affects work, family life and social life negatively. They felt that the illness wasn’t taken seriously by the environment and health care professionals had a lack of knowledge and understanding. Discussion. The lack of knowledge about the disease among health care professionals does not contribute to let women be seen and treated correctly. That women are neglected can lead to social isolation and mental illness. Conclusion. Increased knowledge and understanding among the medical staff would contribute to better treatment, care and well-being among the women. More research is needed on the disease etiology.
