Using adaptation and queer theory, this essay discusses and analyzes how Henry James’ horror novella The Turn of the Screw has been adapted into a streaming show for Netflix. By showing how The Haunting of Bly Manor removes some of the ambiguity of the original text, this essay claims that the show does not fall victim to the “bury your gays” trope, as it has been accused of. Instead, this essay finds that while the show may not perpetuate this trope, it still maintains the idea that queer stories come with tragic backstories and trauma.

Bakgrund: Totalförsvarets forskningsinstituts skjutbana i Grindsjön är en provanläggning där storskaliga försök kan utföras för analys och metodutveckling av militära vapensystem. Olika typer av material som kan röra sig om fordonsskydd eller personskydd testas. Arbetsplatsen undersöktes av Previa, augusti 2011 och flera problemområden identifierades. Ventilationen i skjutbyggnaden hade brister och misstanke fanns om exponering för damm och partiklar samt tungmetaller på skjutbanan. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att utföra mätning av exponering för damm samt tungmetaller på FOI:s skjutbana, där ventilationsundersökning och emissionsmätning gjordes för att förtydliga exponeringsbilden. Koncentrationer av identifierade potentiellt hälsofarliga ämnen jämfördes med hygieniska gränsvärden varefter åtgärdsförslag presenterades. Metod: Studien utfördes med hjälp av observationer, intervju och mätningar. Mätningar avsåg exponering i form av emissionsmätning samt mätning av bakgrundshalt. Dessutom undersöktes ventilationen, genom mätning av lufthastigheten samt undersökning av luftrörelser. Temperaturen noterades i samband med mätningen. Mätresultatet analyserades och jämfördes med hygieniska gränsvärden. Slutsats: Blyhalter låg över de hygieniska gränsvärdena för båda arbetstagarna samt vid källan. Andra uppmätta halterna av både respirabla och totala dammpartiklar samt dess metallsammansättning översteg generellt inte de uppsatta hygieniska gränsvärdena. De högsta uppmätta halterna av damm och metaller var som förväntad vid emissionskällan. Efter undersökningen av ventilation och mätning av lufthastigheten konstaterades det att den var otillfredsställande med brister i uppbyggnad samt funktion. Utifrån arbetets art borde den byggas om så att arbetstagarna inte utsätts för farliga ämnen. Den dåliga städningen bidrar dessutom till en icke godtagbar arbetsmiljö.

<p>Förorenat dagvatten från Stena Gotthards metallåtervinningsanläggning i Eskilstuna har filtrerats genom kolonner innehållande två olika adsorbenter, torv och furubarksflis. Torv är en organisk jordart som främst används som bränsle och furubarksflis är en biprodukt från skogsindustrin. Båda filtermaterialen är relativt billiga och finns i stora kvantiteter i Sverige. Filtermaterialen har visat sig ha varierande kapacitet att adsorbera metaller i vatten på grund av själva materialet samt vattnets sammansättning. Resultatet från den här studien visar att av de två undersökta filtermaterialen så har furubarksflis störst kapacitet att reducera bly, koppar och zink från det specifika dag vattnet.</p> / <p>Polluted storm water from a metal recycling industry has been filtrated through columns that contained two different adsorbents, peat and pine bark. Peat is an organic soil, mainly used for energy production, and pine bark, a by-product from the forest industry. In Sweden, there are a lot of resources of peat as well as pine bark. Used as filter materials, they are relatively cheep and, like other kinds of filtermaterial used as adsorbents, they have varied capacity to adsorb metals in water. The capacity for the filter materials to adsorb metals depends on the physical structure and chemical contents of the peat and pine bark as well as the water metal composition. Results from this study show that pine bark had the highest adsorption capacity to reduce copper, lead and zinc from the specific storm water.</p>

För att leva mer hållbart så är cirkulär ekonomi en stor del, ser man till marknaden för second hand så är artiklar gjorda av keramik och glas vanligt förekommande och populariteten ökar. Detta examensarbete fokuserade på artiklar köpta second hand av keramik och glas där de nuvarande gränsvärdena för bly och kadmium jämfördes med discussing starting values (DSV). Arbetet undersökte även riskerna för människan vid användning av second hand artiklar av glas och keramik. Arbetetbaserades på tidigare forskning som gjorts kring artiklar av keramik och glas. Resultatet visar på olika värden för artiklarna och styrker att det finns artiklar på second handmarknaden som kan, vid exponering, påverka människors hälsa negativt. Framför allt så konstaterades det att de nuvarande gränsvärdena inom EU för bly och kadmium i keramiska artiklar är för höga, samt att de föreslagna nya gränsvärdena (DSV) redan överstigs. / The circular economy is a big part of sustainable living. It’s not uncommon to see articles made of ceramics and glass in nowadays very popular second-hand markets.This thesis focused on second-hand articles of ceramics and glass, where the current limit values for lead and cadmium were compared with discussing starting values (DSV). This work also examined the risk for humans when using second-hand glass and ceramic items. The work was based on previous research done on ceramic and glass articles. The results show different values for the articles and prove that there are articles on the second-hand market that can, when exposed, have a negative effect on human health. In particular, it was found that the current EU limit values for lead and cadmium in ceramic articles are too high, and that the proposed new limit values (DSV) are already being exceeded.

Background: Research on nursing practice has highlighted a relationship between non-nursing tasks (NNTs), nursing tasks left undone (NTLU), and internationally it was found that these factors have an effect on job satisfaction. Since the last study done on NNTs and NTLU in 1988, much has changed in South Africa`s health system. Current South African studies have revealed that decreased numbers of PNs in South Africa experience satisfaction. Therefore, this study explores the relationship between NNTs, NTLU and job satisfaction on both individual PN level and unit level in South Africa, and contributes to the international debate. Aim: To investigate the relationship between NNTs, NTLU and job satisfaction among professional nurses (PNs) in medical and surgical units in private and public hospitals in South Africa. Method: A cross-sectional survey design was used including 1166 PNs in 60 medical and surgical units in 55 private hospitals and seven national referral hospitals in South Africa who completed the survey. Measures: Relationships between NNTs, NTLU, job satisfaction and aspects of job satisfaction. Results: The three main NNTs performed were filling-in for non-nursing services (d=0.47), cleaning patient’s rooms and equipment (d=0.48) and obtaining supplies and equipment (d=0.64). Nationally more than 50% of PNs reported the following NTLU – comfort/talk with patients (62.2%), educating patients and family (57.9%) and develop or update nursing care plans/pathways (51.6%). PNs in private hospitals are more satisfied with their jobs than PNs in public hospitals. PNs were most dissatisfied with the opportunities for advancement (M = 2.60) and educational opportunities (M=2.64) aspects of job satisfaction. At unit level, NTLU positively correlated with three NNTs, and job satisfaction correlated mostly and negatively with NTLU. Conclusion: South African PNs perform many NNTs. However, the performance of NNTs does not influence their job satisfaction to the extent the NTLU does. Although PNs in this study indicated that NNTs do not have a significant influence on NTLU, it may reveal a greater issue, in that PNs have grown accustomed to performing NNTs as part of their workload. Clarifying professional nurses’ scope of practice and increased use of support services may provide PNs with more time to conduct nursing tasks which should improve job satisfaction. Recommendations for practice, education, policy/orientation programmes and research are made from the findings of this study. / MCur, North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2014
