The Monkton Formation of the western shelf stratigraphic sequence in Vermont (VT) is identified as a Lower Cambrian regressive sandstone unit containing parasequences recording tidal flat progradation. Previous workers identified cycles believed to represent parasequences in a portion of a 1034' deep geothermal well drilled at Champlain College in Burlington, Vermont. For this study, both outcrop and well geophysical surveys were completed to better identify gamma emission curves and relative values for parasequences and select lithologies that are indicators of bathymetry and sea level. After using physical stratigraphic techniques to assemble a composite stratigraphic section for the Monkton Formation, analysis of the gamma emission curve and relative gamma values resulted in the identification and characterization of parasequences and select lithologies within the Monkton. Interpretation of bathymetry-sensitive lithologies along with parasequence architecture and thickness trends reveals three distinctive intervals over the thickness of the Monkton. It is recognized that the succession of these intervals represents an overall decreasing rate in accommodation space generation through Monkton deposition. Previous workers have suggested that biostratigraphic relationships of the Monkton Formation to the Potsdam Group in New York (NY) suggest that that they would be at least partially correlative. To further refine age relationships and constrain and compare the provenance of the Vermont stratigraphy locally and regionally, zircon samples were collected from the Monkton and the overlying Danby Formations and radiometric age determinations were completed by laser ablation–inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICPMS) at University of Arizona Laserchron Center. Zircon age probability distribution curves show two dominate age peaks between 1.05-1.09 Ga and 1.15-1.18 Ga for the Monkton and Danby suggesting either a continuity of provenance through the Cambrian or the cycling of the Monkton's sand. The 1.05-1.09 Ga age range corresponds to rocks generated during the Ottawan Orogeny while the 1.15-1.18 Ga range is associated with the Shawinigan Orogeny and anorthosite-mangerite-charnockite-granite (AMCG) plutonism. Dominant age peaks in the Vermont samples between 1.15-1.18 Ga are similar to the 1.16 Ga age peak reported by other workers from the Altona and Ausable Formations of the Potsdam Group of New York. The shared dominant age peak and close proximity of the Vermont and New York stratigraphy may suggest a primarily shared provenance.

SAMMANFATTNING Bakgrund: Hjärtinfarkt är en vanlig dödsorsak. Efter en hjärtinfarkt kan livsstilsförändringar vara nödvändiga för att minimera risken att drabbas av hjärt- och kärlsjukdom. Teoretisk referensram är SAUK- modellen för bekräftande omvårdnad (Gustavsson, 2004). Denna omvårdnadsmodell är ett hjälpmedel som sjuksköterskan kan använda sig av för att stötta patienter som genomgått en hjärtinfarkt. Syftet med studien var att belysa patienters upplevda livskvalitet inom ett år efter en hjärtinfarkt. Fokus låg på patienternas upplevda livskvalitet och livsstilsförändringarna. Metod: Systematisk litteraturstudie där elva artiklar kvalitetsgranskats och analyserats. Resultat: Det framkom faktorer som påverkade patienternas livskvalitet både positivt och negativt. Huvudfynden är indelade i fem kategorier. Dessa är fysiska konsekvenser efter en hjärtinfarkt, känslomässiga konsekvenser efter en hjärtinfarkt, faktorer som underlättar eller försvårar livsstilsförändringen, det sociala nätverkets betydelse och patienternas upplevda informationsbehov. Slutsats: Det fanns faktorer som påverkade patienternas livskvalitet. De patienter som lyckades genomföra sina livsstilsförändringar upplevde en bättre livskvalitet och hälsa. Därför är det av betydelse att hälso- och sjukvårdspersonal har detta i åtanke vid mötet med patienter som genomgått en hjärtinfarkt

People with chronic fatigue syndrome and their experience and need for care referred to Barbro Gustafsson's theory of acknowledgement and the SAUK-model. / Personers upplevelser av kroniskt trötthetssyndrom och deras omvårdnadsbehov utifrån Barbro Gustafssons teori om bekräftelse och SAUK-modell.

Bakgrund: Den svenska befolkningen ökar vilket resulterar i en ökad press på vården. Som patient ska man vara centrum för allt vårdande. Sjuksköterskan har ett ansvar för att lindra lidande och hjälpa patienten att uppleva hälsa och välbefinnande. Vårdmiljön har ett stort inflytande på patientens tillfrisknande. Därför är det viktigt att veta hur patienterna upplever vårdmiljön i de olika salarna för att på bästa sätt kunna gynna deras hälsa. Syfte: Att beskriva patienters upplevelser av vårdmiljön i fler- respektive enkelbäddssalar. Metod: Detta examensarbete är en litteraturöversikt grundad på tolv vårdvetenskapliga originalartiklar. Artiklarna hämtades från databaserna CINAHLComplete samt PubMed. Efter inhämtning av artiklar analyserades dessa efter Fribergs metod om litteraturöversikter. Resultat: Resultatet i denna översikt sammanställdes i sex kategorier, och dessa var: Upplevelsen av en gemenskap, Aktiviteter och tidsfördriv, Stöd av andra patienter, Integritet i förhållande till andra patienter, Sömnen påverkas och Upplevelsen av trygghet. Upplevelserna hos patienterna av att vårdas i flerbädds- och enkelbäddssalar varierade. En del patienter föredrog flerbäddssalar där möjligheten till gemenskap fanns, medan andra föredrog enkelbäddssalar då integriteten kunde tillgodoses. Diskussion: Resultatet diskuterades i relation till SAUK-modellen och andra studier. / Background: The Swedish population is increasing. This results in an increasing demand on the healthcare. The patient is the center of caring and the concept of being a patient implies suffering or being perseverant in suffering. The nurses have several areas of main responsibilities to attend to the patients in the best possible ways. The healthcare environment have a great impact on the patient's ability to recover from their illness. It is therefore important to know how the patients experience the healthcare environment in the hospital rooms. Aim: To describe patients experiences of the healthcare environment in single and multiple hospital rooms. Method: This essay is a literature review based on twelve original articles. The articles were collected by the use of the databases CINAHL Complete and Pubmed. The articles were analysed using Fribergs method of literature reviews. Results: The results were divided into six categories: The experience of a companionship, Activities and sparetime, Support from other patients, Integrity in relation to other patients, The effect on sleep and The experience of safety. The patients’ experiences of being cared for in a single or multiple hospital room varied. Some patients preferred multiple hospital rooms where they could socialize with other patients while others preferred single hospital rooms because of the need for privacy. Discussion: The results were discussed in the light of the model SAUK and other studies.

In the Death Valley and Mojave Desert regions of southeastern California, the contact separating the lower and middle members of the Wood Canyon Formation (WCF) is currently interpreted as a regional scale unconformity coincident with the base of the Sauk Sequence. Regional mapping of this surface, however, reveals a nonconformable contact with underlying crystalline basement in cratonic settings, and a relatively conformable contact atop a northwest thickening wedge of miogeoclinal strata that is capped by the lower member of the WCF. Consistent with an unconformity, the progressive loss of three carbonate units within the lower member of the WCF has been attributed to incision by the base of the middle member WCF. However, fossil evidence and correlation based on carbon isotope compositions of each lower member WCF dolostone units rejects top-down erosion to describe their loss and overall cratonward thinning. Results from multiple detailed, measured, stratigraphic sections of a conglomerate found at the base or low in the middle member WCF also do not support a top-down erosion model because the conglomerate has variable stratigraphic position and absence in some locations. Middle member WCF conglomerate clasts also reveal variation in composition and grain size across the regions. Sequence stratigraphic architecture indicates that filling of available accommodation space and short period normal regression, as opposed to a forced regression, are the causal mechanisms for formation of the basal middle member WCF unconformity, and that the base of the Sauk Sequence rests lower in the stratigraphic section.

Most of the people in today's society have at least some knowledge about Alzheimer's disease to some extent. When a person with Alzheimer's disease is being taken care of at home, the relatives have to change their own priorities and readapt themselves to the existing situation. The primary aim of this study is to describe how the relatives experience their own situation in life. The secondary aim of this study is to describe how the relatives understand their own relation with the health care authorities concerning the help and support issues. The authors have realized this study using the analytic inductive method and have interviewed four informants using a semi structured interview guide. The result of this study has been analyzed towards the SAUK-model for confirming nursing. The informants experience to a high extent that they are not being confirmed in their own situation and that this could convey a change of their own health situation. / De flesta av dagens människor i samhället känner till Alzheimers sjukdom och tror sig ha en uppfattning om vad sjukdomen innebär. När en Alzheimersjuk vårdas hemma medför detta att de anhöriga måste omprioritera sin livsstil och anpassa sig till den rådande situationen. Det primära syftet med här studien är att beskriva hur de anhöriga upplever sin livssituation, när den Alzheimersjuke vårdas i hemmet. Det sekundära syftet med den här studien är att beskriva hur de anhöriga uppfattar sin relation med samhället angående eventuell hjälp och stöd. Författarna har använt sig av en analytiskt induktiv metodansats och genomfört semistrukturerade intervjuer med fyra informanter. Resultatet i studien analyseras mot Barbro Gustafssons modell för bekräftande omvårdnad, SAUK-modellen. Informanterna upplever att de till stor del att de inte blir bekräftade i sin situation och att detta kan medföra en förändring av deras hälsosituation. Dock framkommer även positiva upplevelser hos vissa av informanter.

The degree to which the SABC as public broadcaster gives shape to its language policy and language mandate, against the background of an investigation of language rights, establishes the central problem statement of this research. It is widely acknowledged that it is difficult to define the concept of language rights. 14khough the language-sociological literature associates this concept with minority and cultural rights, it can also be seen as individual rights. According to the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa,1996,it is clear that language rights should be seen as individual rights that can be exercised within a particular community. Although this dissertation provides an extensive juridical and language sociological explanation of the concept of language rights, the description by Judge Able Sachs will be used as a working definition for this research. His division between the following four fundamental language rights, viz.: (i) the right to use your language; (ii) the right to develop your language; (iii) the right to be understood and to understand other languages as well as (iv) the right not to be discriminated against because of your language, provides a useful investigation instrument with which the degree to which the SABC-TV acknowledges and protects language rights can be measured. It is found that despite the policy documents on national and corporate level that has equal consideration and treatment of the diverse South African languages in mind, it still happens that the SABC-TV fails to give form to the language rights of individuals that belong to indigenous minority language groups in South Africa. Due to this, the research suggests that the extensive implementation of subtitles, as a form of screen translation that differs from lip synchronised dubbing, can make a significant contribution to the acknowledgement and protection of language rights by the SABC-TV. In addition to a discussion on what subtitles entail, the technical nature and specific parameters thereof, a feasibility study is included within which the affordability of this project for the SABC-TV is indicated. It is found that this form of screen translation is ideal for the South African situation because it is cheaper than both lip synchronised dubbing and the creation of new television programmes, but also because it can effectively be employed in regional broadcasts. Furthermore, the use of bilingual subtitles and pivot subtitles are also alternatives that may be considered. It is essential though that subtitles can indeed contribute to the way in which the SABC, as a public broadcaster, acknowledges and protects the fundamental language rights of the multitude of South Africans that belong to different language communities in South Africa. / Thesis (M.A. (Afrikaans))--North-West University, Vaal Triangle Campus, 2004.
