Syfte: Syftet med studien var att beskriva om aktivitetskorten i I-HOPE motsvarar äldre personers aktiviteter i hemmet utifrån svenska förhållanden samt identifiera behov av att komplettera med ytterligare aktiviteter. Metod: Datainsamling utfördes med en kvantitativ standardiserad webbenkät med kvalitativt inslag. Totalt deltog 41 personer mellan 65 och 87 år med en medelåldern av 73.3 år och standardavvikelse på 5.1 år. Samtliga deltagare bodde i ordinärt boende i Södra Norrland kust- och inland i Sverige. Datamaterialet bearbetades med kvantitativ analysmetod, resultatet presenterades i löptext med tabeller och figurer. Svaren från webbänktens öppna fråga angående saknade aktiviteter kategoriserades i grupper utifrån de faktiska svaren. Resultat: Resultatet från studien visade att samtliga deltagare kunde identifiera 18 av de 44 aktivitetskorten utan vägledning och 16 aktivitetskort kunde 75-99% av deltagarna identifiera utan vägledning.Vidare var det 10 aktivitetskort som färre än 50% av studiens deltagare identifierade utan vägledning. På flertalet aktivitetskort kunde deltagarna identifiera aktiviteten men de identifierade sig sedan inte med miljön, utrustningen eller hur aktiviteten utfördes. Resultatet visade även att 10 av de 44 aktiviteterna inte utfördes av samtliga deltagare i studien. Vidare framkom behov av att komplettera I-HOPE med ytterligare aktivitetskort för att svara mot svenska förhållande. Slutsats: Utifrån studiens resultat finner författarna ett behov av att komplettera med fler aktivitetskort samt att revidera ett antal av bilderna på de befintliga aktivitetskorten i bedömningsinstrumentet I-HOPE. / Purpose: The purpose of the study was to describe whether the activity cards in I-HOPE correspond to older people's activities in the home based on Swedish conditions and identify the need to supplement additional activities. Method: Data collection was performed with a quantitative standardized web quote with qualitative elements. In total, 41 participants participated between 65 and 87 years with an average age of 73.3 years and a standard deviation of 5.1 years. All participants lived in Ordinary accommodation in southern Norway, coastal and inland in Sweden. The data was processed using quantitative analysis method, the result was presented in running text with tables and figures. The answers from the web site's open question about missing activities were categorized into groups based on the actual answers. Results: The result of the study showed that it was 18 of the 44 activity cards that all participants could identify without guidance. 16 activity cards were 75-99% of the participants who could identify. In addition, there were 10 activity cards that fewer than 50% of the study participants were able to Identify without guidance. On most activity cards, participants were able to identify the activity without guidance but they could not identify with the environment, equipment or how the activity was performed. The result also showed that 10 of the 44 activities were not performed by all participants in the study. Furthermore, there was a need to supplement I-HOPE with additional activity cards to respond to Swedish conditions. Conclusion: Based on the results of the study, the authors find a need to supplement more activity cards and to revise a number of the pictures on the existing activity cards in the I-HOPE assessment tool.

The purpose of this study was to explore the processes of hope in informal caregivers of palliative patients. Interviews were conducted with caregivers who were living with and currently providing care to a palliative patient at home. Saturation was reached with 10 caregivers, five females and five males, from 2 cities in Saskatchewan, Canada. <p>The design of this qualitative study was Glasers (2001) grounded theory. Broad, unstructured face to face audio taped interviews were conducted in the participants homes. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using constant-comparative method of analysis in order to identify the main concern of the participants related to hope, and the basic social processes used to resolve that concern. <p>Eroding hope was the main concern relating to hope during caregiving for a palliative patient. Eroding hope was a result of bad days, negative messages, and experiences with the health care system. The participants deal with eroding hope by using the basic social process of hanging on to hope. Hanging on to hope has 4 sub-processes: a)doing what you have to do, b)living in the moment, c)staying positive, and d)writing your own story. The support of friends, family, and health care professionals and connecting with something bigger and stronger were sub-processes of hanging on to hope that together directly affect the other sub-processes.<p>The findings of this study have direct application for the care and support of informal caregivers providing palliative care at home, as a basis for assessment and interventions that will assist caregivers to hang on to hope. Nurses and other health care professionals need to recognize and value the experience of hope for caregivers by addressing, teaching, and reinforcing the sub-processes and ways of hanging on to hope into their practice.

Hintergrund: Patienten mit hämatologischen Neoplasien sind in den spezialisierten palliativmedizinischen Versorgungsstrukturen im Vergleich zu Patienten mit soliden Tumoren unterrepräsentiert. Im Falle eines palliativmedizinischen Einbezuges erfolgt dieser deutlich später. Hierfür werden verschiedene Gründe diskutiert: Schwierigkeiten in der Prognosefestlegung, das Auftreten von akuten Komplikationen und plötzlichem Krankheitsprogress oder die Notwendigkeit von fortgesetzten invasiven Therapiemaßnahmen. Methodik: In dieser Studie wurden die deutschlandweit erhobenen Daten der Hospiz- und Palliativerhebung (HOPE) von 2006 bis 2008 sekundär ausgewertet, um die klinische Charakteristik und spezielle Therapie- und Versorgungsaspekte von hämatologischen Patienten in spezialisierten Palliativeinrichtungen zu analysieren und mit denen von Patienten mit überwiegend soliden Tumoren sowie mit den prospektiv gewonnen Daten von inkurabel hämatologisch erkrankten Patienten der Abteilung für Hämatologie und Onkologie der Universitätsmedizin Göttingen ohne Anschluss an eine palliativmedizinische Versorgung zu vergleichen. Ergebnisse: Von den insgesamt 5.487 in der HOPE-Erhebung erfassten Palliativpatienten wiesen nur 220 Patienten (4%) eine maligne hämatologische Grunderkrankung auf. Es wurden 50 inkurabel erkrankte hämatologische Patienten der Klinik für Hämatologie und Onkologie erfasst, die einen deutlich besseren Allgemeinzustand und subjektives Gesamtbefinden aufwiesen, weniger fokale Symptome, zeigten, jedoch häufiger an psychischen Symptomen litten, als die Patienten in den palliativmedizinischen Einrichtungen. Hämatologische Patienten erhielten deutlich mehr interventionelle Therapiemaßnahmen wie fortgesetzte palliative Chemotherapie oder Transfusionen. Diskussion: Die Ergebnisse dieser Arbeit zeigen die spezifischen Charakteristika und Bedürfnisse von Patienten mit fortgeschrittenen malignen hämatologischen Grunderkrankungen und machen so die speziellen Anforderungen an die palliativmedizinische Versorgung dieser Patientengruppe deutlich. Auch auf Grundlage dieser Erkenntnisse bedarf es der Entwicklung von neuen, flexiblen Behandlungskonzepten, um hämato-onkologischen Patienten den Zugang zur Palliativversorgung zu erleichtern bzw. eine frühere und bedürfnis- anstatt prognoseorientierte palliativmedizinische Mitbehandlung zu ermöglichen.

Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2003. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The farm Elandsvlei, situated approximately halfway between the towns Ceres and Calvinia in the Ceres-Karoo, was originally the eighteenth-century pioneer farm Elandsdrift. The farm initially had a number of owners in quick succession, after which Barend Lubbe received it as loan farm. His family grew rapidly and his son Frans eventually received Elandsdrift. Frans' daughter Johanna Adriana married Jacobus Petrus Hough, the son of a poor tailor who came to the Cape as a soldier of the DEIC and became a free burgher some years later. This was the first in a series of marriages between Lubbe women and Hough men and the result was that Elandsdrift, later to become Elandsvlei, became Hough property. Elandsvlei became an important centre for the community of the Ceres-Karoo. Among other things, the farm had a school and even a postal agency. The buildings on pioneer farms during the eighteenth century were generally very simple and primitive due to the circumstances under which the farmers were scraping together a living. A century later the situation has changed and the farmers were becoming more settled. Approximately in the period between 1830 and 1890 a number of interesting buildings were erected on Elandsvlei. Some of these were built with gracious Cape Dutch gables from the outset while others had gables added on at a later stage, so that the farm currently boasts a unique collection of buildings in the Cape Dutch style. The most important buildings were documented as part of this study by means of description, architectural drawings and photographs. Some buildings on the farm have already disappeared completely while others are in various stages of decay, mostly due to the fact that they are not utilised any more. It is essential that measures be taken immediately to save these buildings. Complete restoration is not called for seeing that, especially in the current financial climate, it is a problem to secure the necessary finances. The farm is already running a successful tourism business and it will be possible to incorporate the restored buildings into this business in a meaningful way. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die plaas Elandsvlei, geleë halfpad tussen Ceres en Calvinia in die Ceres-Karoo, het sy ontstaan in die middel van die agtiende eeu gehad as die pioniersplaas Elandsdrift. Na 'n aantal eienaars mekaar redelik vinnig opgevolg het, het Barend Lubbe die plaas as leningsplaas ontvang. Sy familie het snel uitgebrei en sy seun Frans het Elandsdrift ontvang. Frans se dogter Johanna Adriana is getroud met Jacobus Petrus Hough, die seun van 'n arm kleremaker wat as soldaat van die vac na die Kaap gekom het en slegs 'n paar jaar later vryburger geword het. Dit was die eerste van 'n reeks huwelike tussen Lubbe-vroue en Hough-mans, en die uiteinde was dat Elandsdrift, later Elandsvlei, in Hough-besit oorgegaan het. Elandsvlei het mettertyd 'n belangrike gemeenskapsentrum in die Ceres-Karoo geword en daar was selfs 'n skool en posagentskap op die plaas. Die geboue op die pioniersplase gedurende die agtiende eeu was oor die algemeen baie eenvoudig en primitief weens die omstandighede waaronder die pionierboere 'n bestaan moes maak. 'n Eeu later het die situasie egter verander en die boere was al meer gevestig. In die periode tussen ongeveer 1830 en 1890 is daar 'n aantal besondere geboue op Elandsvlei opgerig. Sommige geboue is van meet af aan met sierlike Kaaps-Hollandse gewels gebou terwyl ander later gewels bygekry het, sodat daar tans 'n unieke versameling geboue in die Kaaps-Hollandse styl op die plaas staan. Die belangrikste geboue is deur middel van hierdie studie so volledig moontlik gedokumenteer deur beskrywings, argitekstekeninge en foto's. 'n Aantal van die geboue op die plaas het alreeds vergaan en andere is in verskeie stadia van verval, hoofsaaklik as gevolg van die feit dat dit nie meer benut word nie. Dit is noodsaaklik dat opknappingswerk onmiddellik aangepak word om die geboue te red. Volledige restourasie is nie nodig nie aangesien dit veral in die huidige tydsgewrig problematies is om die nodige fmansies te bekom. Daar bestaan alreeds 'n toerismebedryf op die plaas en dit sal moontlik wees om die opgeknapte geboue sinvol by die bestaande bedryf in te sluit.

[pt] A missão do Espírito Santo possui aspectos que com o avanço da teologia ganharam maior atenção pelos teólogos e as diversas tradições cristãs. Jurgen Moltmann, entre um grande número de teólogos, desenvolve uma reflexão original e complexa sobre o Espírito Santo, começando em sua famosa Teologia da Esperança e tendo como ápice a produção do livro O Espírito da vida, obra dedicada exclusivamente à reflexão sobre o Espírito Santo. Ele produzirá uma Pneumatologia que será orientada pela sua concepção de Escatologia cristã e pelos textos do bíblicos do Apóstolo Paulo. Essa pesquisa tem como objetivo principal fazer uma abordagem sobre como Jurgen Moltmann apresenta a relação entre o Espírito Santo e a Esperança Cristã, tendo como ponto de partida os acenos teológicos que ele desenvolveu na Teologia da Esperança, seu primeiro livro. Nossa abordagem se dividirá em três diferentes etapas. Em um primeiro momento, iremos nos dedicar a apresentar os principais textos produzidos por teólogos ao refletirem sobre o Espirito Santo. Em seguida, este trabalho vai fazer uma apresentação dos principais aspectos da Pneumatologia moltmanianna através de suas principais obras. O último passo, então, é discorrer sobre como Jurgen Moltmann compreende a relação entre Espírito Santo e a Esperança Cristã. Após a pesquisa, concluímos que nosso autor produz uma Pneumatologia que deve ser lida a partir da Escatologia que ele fomenta em sua Teologia da Esperança. O Espírito Santo é compreendido como o poder vivificante de Deus que faz com que homens e mulheres possam experimentar as promessas do futuro, parcialmente, ainda no presente. Ele garante que elas serão cumpridas e impulsiona a Igreja, que vive na esperança de uma realização plena do que foi prometido, a caminhar dentro da história sinalizando o Reino vindouro por meio de suas ações. / [en] The mission of the Holy Spirit has aspects that with the advancement of theology have gained more attention by theologians and the diverse Christian traditions. Jurgen Moltmann, among a large number of theologians, develops an original and complex reflection on the Holy Spirit, beginning with his famous Theology of Hope and having as its apex the production of the book The Spirit of Life, a work that he dedicates exclusively To reflection on the Holy Spirit. He will produce a Pneumatology that will be guided by his conception of Christian eschatology and by the biblical texts of the Apostle Paul. This research has as main objective to make an approach on how Jurgen Moltmann presents / displays the relation between the Holy Spirit and the Christian Hope taking as starting point the theological nods that it builds in the Theology of the Hope. Our approach will be divided into three different steps. At first, we will devote ourselves to presenting the main texts produced by theologians in reflecting on the Holy Spirit. Then this work will make a presentation of the main aspects of Pneumatologia moltmanianna through his main works. The final step is to discuss how Jurgen Moltmann understands the relationship between the Holy Spirit and Christian Hope. After the research, we conclude that our author produces a Pneumatology that must be read from the Eschatology that he promotes in his Theology of Hope. The Holy Spirit is understood as the life-giving power of God, which enables men and women to experience the promises of the future with God, partially, still in the present. He ensures that they will be fulfilled and propels the Church, which lives in this hope of a full realization of what has been promised, to walk within history by signaling the coming Kingdom through its actions.

From preface: This study of the British settlers of 1820 in South Africa uses one party of emigrants as a unit of historical research. In unfolding their story, it attempts to discover how far the standard assumptions about the 1820 settlement are borne out by the historical facts. No systematic set of hypotheses for investigation was established in advance; instead, the structure of the thesis has been determined by the course of the narrative, and the main issues have emerged spontaneously as it has progressed. Although the chronology has been maintained as far as possible, the narrative itself does not follow an entirely straightforward course. The emigrant party of eighty-four men and their families under the leadership of John Bailie which is the subject of the study was officially subdivided five weeks after landing at Algoa Bay, and the dispersal of its members to the established towns of the colony began even sooner. At the end of the three-year period laid down as a residential qualification by Government, less than a third remained to claim land on the party's location in Albany.

[pt] A presente pesquisa aborda aspectos referentes à esperança cristã mediante as juventudes brasileiras e a esperança que a Igreja deposita nessas juventudes. O tema foi desenvolvido por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica, tomando o pensamento de vários autores que se dedicam aos temas em questão, ou seja, esperança cristã e juventudes. Foram utilizadas pesquisas realizadas por outras entidades a fim de dar algumas características das juventudes e documentos do Magistério Eclesial para fundamentar a esperança que a Igreja apresenta nessas juventudes. O trabalho foi assim distribuído: num primeiro momento destacou a iniciativa eclesial em manifestar sua esperança nos jovens perpassando o Concílio Vaticano II, as Conferências Episcopais Latino Americanas de Medellín, Puebla, Santo Domingo e Aparecida e as reflexões do Papa Francisco em sua vinda ao Brasil por ocasião da Jornada Mundial da Juventude 2013; o segundo passo consistiu em conceituar e refletir sobre o termo juventudes, apresentar algumas características das juventudes brasileiras e compreender suas tendências e linguagens mediante a religião; e por fim apresenta-se as esperanças cotidianas das juventudes frente a esperança cristã, a possibilidade do encontro entre essas esperanças como caminho de realização das juventudes e força profética no empenho da construção da civilização do amor e o fortalecimento da esperança da Igreja frente ao futuro, concluindo com algumas atitudes que a própria Igreja pode assumir no testemunho da esperança cristã em meio as juventudes. / [en] This research addresses issues related to Christian hope that as Brazilian youths and the hope that the Church places in these youths. The theme was developed by means of literature, taking the thought of several authors who are dedicated to the issues in question, such as, Christian hope and youths. Surveys were carried out by other entities used to give some characteristics of youths and documents of the ecclesial Magisterial documents to substantiate the hope that the Church presents in these youths. The work was distributed as follows: at first highlighted the ecclesial initiative in expressing their hope in young people passing by the Second Vatican Council , Latin American Episcopal Conferences of Medellin, Puebla, Santo Domingo and Aparecida and the reflections of Pope Francisco in his visit to Brazil at the World Youth Day 2013; the second step was to conceptualize and think about the term youths, present some characteristics of Brazilian youths and understand trends and languages by religion; and finally presents the everyday hopes of youths Christian in front of the possibility of the meeting between these hopes as a way of realization of youths and prophetic force in the effort of building the civilization of love and strengthening the hope of the Church towards the future, concluding with some attitudes that the Church itself can take the witness of Christian hope among the youths.
