Bakgrund: I världen dör cirka 265,000 personer på grund av brännskador och för de som överlever är det en förödande och traumatisk livsförändring både för de själva och de anhöriga. Enbart i Sverige behandlas 1,500 personer för sina brännskador i sluten vård.  Brännskador ger upphov till olika komplikationer som kräver intensiv vård och rätt kompetens inom vården. Syfte: Studiens syfte är att beskriva hur vuxna patienters upplever sin livskvalité efter svår brännskada samt beskriva de inkluderade artiklarnas urvalsmetod. Metod: En beskrivande litteraturstudie. Studien baseras på tio artiklar sökta i databaserna Cinahl, PubMed och PsycINFO och publicerade under åren 2004-2014. Huvudresultat: Livskvalitén var kopplat till huruvida man kunde återgå till sitt gamla liv efter skadan till exempel jobb, relationer, kroppsuppfattning samt aktivitet. Majoriteten av artiklarna använde sig av ändamåls urval. Tre av artiklarna angav inte urvalsmetod utan författarna till föreliggande studie tolkade dessa urvalsmetoder som är beskriven enligt Polit och Beck. Slutsats: En brännskada är en traumatisk upplevelse där patientens livskvalité kan förändras. Med ett socialt nätverk, familj och vänners stöd samt en god professionell vård kan patientens livskvalité förbättras och denne återfå meningsfullhet i livet. / Background: About 265,000 people dies in the world because of burns, and for those who survive it´s a devastating and traumatic life change event, both for themselves and for their relatives. In Sweden alone 1,500 people are treated for their burns in hospital every year. Burns gives rise to various complications that requires intensive care and the right healthcare skills. Aim: The aim of this study was to describe how the adult patient’s experience quality of life after severe burn and to describe the included articles sample method. Method: Descriptive literature review. The study is based on ten articles that were searched on the databases Cinahl, PubMed and PsycINFO and were published between the years of 2004-2014. Main result: Quality of life was linked to whether you could return to your old life after the injury for example job, relations, body image and activity. The majority of the articles used purposive sample. Three of the articles did not indicate any sample instead the authors of this study interpreted this samples from the description giving by Polit and Beck. Conclusion: A burn can be a traumatic experience which the patient's quality of life can changes. With a social network, family and friends support and a good professional care, the patient´s quality of life improves and regain meaning in life.

Prescribed burning is a commonly used wildlife management tool. While most of the available data have evaluated short term effects of fire on wildlife (< 3 years), the present study addresses longer term effects (0 to 7 years). This enables a more thorough investigation of fire management affects on herpetofaunal communities at the landscape level. Ten sites, stratified by 0 to 7 years post-burn, were randomly selected on Big Oaks National Wildlife Refuge in southeastern Indiana and monitored for 2 field seasons. Within each site, several trapping methods were utilized including a sampling array of drift fences, pitfall traps, single and double ended funnel traps, PVC pipes, and cover boards. Burning caused immediate stand level effects and changed vegetation characteristics, which affected the species assemblages of herpetofauna and small mammals. Data collected identified the spatial and temporal variables that explained the patterns of occurrence and abundance of herpetofaunal species and small mammal species, and how community vegetation characteristics such as structure, resource availability, and plant species assemblages, correlated with and affected those patterns. Burn regimes of 2-5 years were found to be optimal when managing herpetofauna and small mammals. Constrictor coluber priapus and Peromyscus leucopus were captured frequently in the study area and the effects of a properly timed prescribed burn could have positive effects on the numbers of generalist species. Akaike information criterion was used to determine the habitat variables that were most important in habitat selection of the herpetofaunal and small mammal classes and species. While this study was limited to one wildlife refuge, in the central hardwoods its findings may have ramifications for herpetofauna in other areas where prescribed fire can be used as a management tool.

This dissertation examines the origins, applications, and functions of visual effects in the historical documentary film. This research study investigates how aesthetic and editorial practices and tools are used for different image forms and as part of the visual presentation. A research design that implements qualitative interviews, visual analysis, and focus groups was incorporated to examine visual effects and images at three specific sites. The pan-and-zoom effect and its variants as well as select titles from the filmography of Ken Burns were used as case studies for this dissertation. The findings from the analyses suggest that visual effects for still image forms and the repetition of these applications and strategies are significant to the content depicted in images, the scope of the visual presentation, and the capacity for audiences to connect to historical information in the film.

Embora a queimadura seja um problema muito freqüente no Brasil, existem poucos estudos e dados epidemiológicos disponíveis. O presente trabalho teve como objetivos descrever a epidemiologia, identificar variáveis epidemiológicas e clínicas que influenciam no prognóstico de adultos queimados e fatores prognósticos. Estudo observacional, prospectivo, casos consecutivos de pacientes queimados com idade igual ou superior a 18 anos, internados na Unidade de Tratamento de Queimados (UTQ) de um hospital geral universitário de nível terciário, localizado na região centro-oeste do Estado de São Paulo, sudeste do Brasil, que atende exclusivamente pacientes do Sistema Único de Saúde, no período de maio de 2006 a julho de 2007. Dos prontuários e do exame clínico dos pacientes foram extraídos os seguintes dados: sexo, idade, características da queimadura (agente, causa, extensão e profundidade), intervalo de tempo entre a queimadura e a internação, presença de lesão inalatória, complicações e tempo de permanência. Em um grupo de 25 pacientes foi possível a dosagem sérica de dímero D e de proteína C reativa nas primeiras 48 horas e no 7º dia após a queimadura. O desfecho final considerado foi alta hospitalar ou óbito. Foi realizada comparação entre os grupos de acordo com o desfecho, sendo as variáveis quantitativas analisadas pelos testes t de Student, teste de Wilcoxon ou das medianas para amostras independentes, dependendo da normalidade dos dados, e as variáveis qualitativas pelo teste de diferença de proporções. Considerando o desfecho como variável resposta, foi ajustada uma regressão logística em função das variáveis clínicas... / Differently from developed countries in which there have been a reduction in the numbers of deaths in burn cases, in third world countries these numbers still very high. Even thou burns are a very frequent problem in Brazil, there are few studies and even fewer epidemiological data available. To describe the epidemiology and identify epidemiological variables and clinics that influence in the prognostic of adult burn patients. Observational, prospective study and series of adult burn cases, of which all are of 18 years of age or above, admitted in the Burn Care Unit of a tertiary referral University Hospital, in the central-west region of the state of São Paulo, southeast Brazil, that treats exclusively public health system, from May of 2006 to July of 2007. From the patients file and physical examination the following data has been extracted: sex, age, characteristics of the burn (cause, agent, extension and depth), time between the time of the burn and the admittance into the hospital, presence of inhalation injury, complications and duration of the hospital stay. The endpoint was considered release from the hospital or death. A comparison was made between the groups according to the endpoint, variables being quantized analyzed by the t Student and Wilcoxon tests or median by independent sampling, depending of the normality of the data and qualities variables by which were shown differences in the test. Considering the endpoint with a variable answer, the formula was readjusted by logistical regression due to the variable clinics. For the lenght stay there were calculated the survival curves by the Kaplan-Meier method, considering the endpoint as a censorship variable of all the patients, stratified by age, inhalation injury, depth, agent, cause and extension of the burn. In cases of curves obtained by stratification there was applied... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)
