Bakgrund: Dagens samhälle ställer allt högre krav på individens anpassningsbarhet och en kraftig ökning av stressrelaterad ohälsa, exempelvis utmattningssyndrom, ses idag. Kvinnor drabbas i högre utsträckning och yrken inom vård och omsorg ses som en riskgrupp. Sjukdomen medför en ökad ohälsa och innebär ett lidande för individen. Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva kvinnors erfarenheter av vad som förändras i det dagliga livet vid utmattningssyndrom. Metod: En induktiv ansats valdes. Sju självbiografier analyserades med kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultat: Ur analysen framträdde fyra kategorier, Svårt att hantera vardagen, Annorlunda samspel med de närmaste och Välja nya levnadsvanor med tio underkategorier. Konklusion: Studien visar att utmattningssyndrom ökar ohälsan, minskar livskvaliteten och medför ett lidande för individen. Det är därför av stor vikt att arbeta för att minska stress och förebygga uppkomsten av psykisk ohälsa. Sjuksköterskan har en viktig roll i att stödja individen för att främja hälsa. / Background: Today’s society is having increasing demands on individual adaptability. With a significant increase in stress-related illness and increased prevalence of burnout being seen today. Women are affected more often and professions in health care are seen as a risk category. The disease entails an increased illness and suffering for the individual. Aim: The aim was to describe women’s experiences of what has been changed in their daily life at burnout. Method: An inductive approach was chosen. Seven autobiographies were analysed using qualitative content analysis. Results: From the analysis four categories emerged, Difficult to deal with everyday life, Different interaction with the next and select new habits with ten subcategories. Conclusion: The study shows that burnout is increasing illness, decreases quality of life and cause a hardship for the individual. It is therefore of great importance to make an effort to reduce stress and prevent the onset of mental illness. The nurse has an important role in supporting the individual to promote health.

This thesis examines the role of internet use in migrants’ participation in, and articulation of, rising Chinese modernity. It explores the ways in which transnational subjectivity is produced through this process. It investigates how migrants’ various uses of the internet construct and make sense of their connections with China. It demonstrates a new generation of subjectivity among Chinese transnationals that is tech-savvy, modern and triumphal – a subjectivity embedded in the exchange between the (macro) political economy of China’s rise and the (micro) everyday practices surrounding the internet. This is an ethnographic study focusing on an emerging population within the broader Chinese diaspora; that is, mainland Chinese professionals who migrated for higher education and professional training in recent years as a result of China’s reform and economic power. This study locates its enquiries in three offline-grounded institutions – ethnic organisations, states and families. These institutions pre-date the internet but increasingly turn to the technology for transnational and local connections. Regarding Chinese organisations, utilising the internet to build co-ethnic sociality is read as a symbolic practice that signals the users’ belonging to a technologically-advanced, mobile and wealthy sector within the broader idea of the Chinese community. On the role of the state, internet use provides new modes of migrants’ access to China’s state-led development projects, thus opening up new spaces for the state’s disciplinary power to be exercised. This digital governance is enabled by a discourse of Chinese triumphalism constructed by both the state and the migrants. Regarding families, the digitalisation of the gendered division of labour in transnational families provides evidence of the segmented nature of China’s digital modernity and disrupts the triumphal portrait of transnational modernity constructed among the elite-stratum migrants. Overall, this study develops a dialogue between two literatures. On the one hand, it adds to diasporic internet studies by introducing an offline-grounded, geographically-informed approach and by bringing transnational modernity into its research agenda. On the other hand, it draws on Nonini and Ong’s (1997) theorisation of Chinese transnationalism as alternative modernity and further adds to this theorisation with a focus on internet technology and a discussion of the impacts of China’s rise. It contributes to human geography by revisiting a key concept in this discipline – transnationalism – with a discussion of the interweaving impacts of information technology and the geopolitical shift of China’s rising modernity.

Internet technologies are increasingly advocated as a means for transforming health care and improving people’s health. In the field of e-health questions on the health implications of internet use are typically approached through attempts at measuring the effect of internet use on health outcomes. In this, information is usually conceptualised as a form of knowledge/power and online information practices are enrolled in discourses on patient empowerment. Taking the different meanings ascribed to information in these approaches as my point of departure, in this thesis I rethink the implications of internet use on health through an empirical exploration of alternative conceptualisations of the relationship between information and health in the context of contemporary HIV treatment and care. I do this through two analytical moves. First, drawing on the concept of performativity, a concern with what effect internet use has on health is turned into one of how internet use enacts health. Second, rather than treating information as knowledge/power, through an analysis of how a specific group of women ‘living with HIV’ in the UK use the internet, I reconfigure the connections between internet use and health through a conceptualisation of information as care. Drawing on a range of empirical materials – including forty-seven in-depth interviews with patients and internet content providers, non-participant observations, document and website analysis – three areas of health-related internet use are analysed in detail: the seeking out of health-related and specifically biomedical information; the seeking out and sharing of experiential knowledge and narratives about living with HIV; meeting prospective partners and dating. However, rather than studying these areas of internet use in order to interrogate what they can tell us about the internet, I analyse them as part of the ethical regime of ‘living with HIV’, in which the virus, previously thought of as ‘terminal’, becomes, through info and bio technologies, normalised as ‘chronic’. From this perspective, enacting health not only entails working on and with one’s body, but also always invokes its distribution across bodies, to other areas and relations, including internet technologies and the networks of relations established via these technologies.

Bakgrund: Inflammatorisk tarmsjukdom (IBD) innefattar sjukdomarna Ulcerös kolit och Morbus Crohn. Miljöfaktorer och förändrade kostvanor tros vara anledningar till att IBD-fallen ökat i USA och västra Europa på kort tid. I Sverige drabbas cirka 500 personer av Morbus Crohn varje år och Ulcerös kolit drabbar ca 900 personer per år. Sjukdomen yttrar sig i fysiska symtom som diarré, smärta och viktnedgång men påverkar även individen psykosocialt. Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva människors upplevelser av att leva med inflammatorisk tarmsjukdom samt att presentera vilken undersökningsgrupp som beskrivits i de inkluderade vetenskapliga artiklarna. Metod: Studien är en beskrivande litteraturstudie där 11 kvalitativa artiklar användes. Databaserna PubMed och Cinahl användes för att söka artiklar. Sökorden som användes var: Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, Qualitative, Everyday life och Lived experiences. Huvudresultat: IBD är en kronisk sjukdom. Fysiska symtom som illamående, viktnedgång, smärta och trötthet vilket även ses som ett psykiskt symtom. Oro, depression och dålig självkänsla upplevdes också. Sjukdomen visade sig påverka individens vardagsliv, kostvanor, familjeliv, och sociala relationer. Alla inkluderade artiklar presenterade undersökningsgruppen. Slutsats: IBD blir allt vanligare i världen. Symtomen är både fysiska och psykosociala och påverkar den drabbades vardagsliv, sociala liv och kosthållning. Sjuksköterskan möter en stor utmaning i att kunna bemöta och vårda dessa patienter då varje enskild individ har olika upplevelser av samma diagnos. / Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) includes the diseases Ulcerative Colitis and Morbus Crohn. Environmental factors and changing diets are thought to be reasons for IBD cases has increased in the US and Western Europe in a short time. It is in Sweden about 500 people affected of Morbus Crohn every year and Ulcerative colitis affects about 900 people per year. The disease has physical symptoms such as diarrhea, pain and weight loss, but also affects an individual psychosocial. Aim: The aim was to describe people's experiences of living with inflammatory bowel disease, and to present the study group as described in the included articles. Methods: This study is a descriptive literature study and 11 qualitative articles were used. PubMed and Cinahl were used to search for articles. Keywords used were: Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, Qualitative, Everyday Life and Lived Experiences. Main results: IBD is a chronic disease. Physical symptoms such as nausea, pain and fatigue which is also seen as a mental symptoms. The disease was found to influence the individual's daily life, eating habits, family life, and social relationships. All included articles presented the study group. Conclusion: IBD are becoming more common in the world. The symptoms are both physical and psychosocial and affects the afflicted person everyday life, social life and diet. Nurses face a big challenge in being able to confronting and care for these patients, since each individual has different perceptions of the same diagnosis.

Presented thesis deals with the everyday life of the 16th and 17th century in the royal town of Slaný in the central Bohemia. It recounts the eventful history of the city from its prehistoric beginnings to the present. Focus is the fourth and fifth chapter. The fourth chapter discusses the type sof criminal offenses and punishment for them in the early modern period grant. This includes offenses against life and healthy, against property, against morality and honor. This section we also learn about dishonest professions. The fifth chapter describes the everyday concerns of people at the time - the need to belong, cocern for the livelihood, concern for subsistence but also financial matters. Full text concludes humorous incident that happened in 1604.

The history of everyday life is an interesting historical branch, which brings the researcher a lot of information about family, work, entertainment, problems and other things that surround everyone and every day. In the same way, these things have influenced lives of our ancestors. The fascination with ordinary lives of early modern history is actually a desire to get to know oneself. Despite the fact that the outlook on everyday things may have changed during the centuries, what has not changed were the topics. The libri testimoniorum are a more than suitable source of information for everyday life research. Owing to the testimonies of the witnesses of the particular trials, the books unwittingly reveal many details about the life of early modern towns. Studies of these books bring motivation for researching not only the everyday history, but also culture and mentality history. Last but not least, it is important to mention research into criminality of early modern towns.

The thesis deals with the theme of social groups of individuals, historically known as "disreputable people", among whom the executioners, knackers and bailiffs belonged. The main aim is to capture the social status of these people, who are historiographically considered as the individuals standing on the lowest rung of the social ladder. Detailed analysis of the sources of urban provenance is to show both the interaction of this group and its individuals with the rest of the urban community, especially with individuals considered as honorable, and also the everyday life of disreputable people in the urban environment. The thesis is divided into three parts, which are further thematically divided. The first part shows the theoretical and methodological level with an emphasis on previous studies dealing with the phenomenon of honor and also issues of discreditable people and of capital punishment. The following two parts contain an analysis of the situation of dishonourable people in the East Bohemian town of Pardubice in 17th century and because of the necessary comparison of regional differences, there was also the research of analogous conditions of another East Bohemian town Náchod included. Inside the urban society the professional functions of these individuals, their property background,...

Muito se fala sobre os problemas do cotidiano escolar, o fracasso escolar e sobre os alunos considerados problemas. Pouco discutimos sobre as práticas pedagógicas cotidianas no interior das escolas. Menor ênfase ainda é dada ao relato dos jovens sobre suas vivências escolares e os modos como as experimentam. Com o intuito de analisar esta temática, abordamos o assunto a partir de uma pesquisa realizada no site da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES - em que percebemos que os alunos têm sido pouco ouvidos e que as publicações acadêmicas focalizam em geral \"sujeitos\" advindos das classes mais pobres e dos bairros periféricos. O inusitado do presente estudo refere-se à sua localização: um bairro de classe média na cidade de São Paulo. Procuramos ouvir, observar e analisar um grupo de jovens que diariamente permanece na porta de uma escola pública de ensino fundamental e médio, os quais, a princípio, imaginávamos não estudarem mais. Com o decorrer do trabalho de campo, apreendemos que eles ainda são matriculados na escola e que, em alguns dias, entram e assistem às aulas: \"Dependendo do professor\", segundo suas próprias palavras. Nos demais dias, ficam na entrada da escola, conversando, tocando violão e fumando. No processo de compreender o que permeia este ato de \"ficar na porta\" descobrimos que se trata de uma resistência em abandonar de vez a instituição. É importante destacar que as autoridades escolares passam por eles diariamente sem demonstram interesse algum em reinseri-los em seus papéis de alunos freqüentes à escola. E eles, por sua vez, participam ativamente do jogo quando lhes convém. Prática esta que aprenderam dentro da escola quando seus professores os retiravam da sala de aula e eles ficavam livres para estar onde quisessem. Práticas como estas compõe o que denominamos de processo de escolarização precária . Este estudo apresenta algumas contribuições relacionadas a este processo. / There is much talk about the problems in the everyday life of schools, about school failure and the so-called troublesome students, but very little has been discussed about the pedagogical practices inside schools. Little attention has been given to the youngsters\' accounts of their school experiences and their way of going through them. With the purpose of analysing this latter issue, we initiate our study with a bibliographical search inside the CAPES academic resources website - in which we noticed that the presence of the students´ voice in the published research is minimal, and that the academic studies have largely focused on the subjects of the poorer urban neighbourhoods. The new element in our study refers to the locus in which it was carried out: a middle class neighbourhood in São Paulo city. We tried to observe, to listen to and to analyse a group of youngsters that used to hang around the gateway of a public primary and secondary school. We thought initially that they were out of school. During the fieldwork we learned that they were still enrolled at the school and that some days they come in to attend the classes: In their own words: \"It depends on the teacher\". On the other days they stay at the gateway, lingering, playing guitar and smoking. In the process of understanding what was underlying their act of \"staying at the school gateway\" we realized that it was a way of resisting to definitively abandoning the institution. It is important to notice that the school authorities pass by them on a daily basis and do not show any interest in bringing them back to their place as regular students. And the students, in their turn, take active part in this game, as long as it is convenient for them. A practice they learned inside the school, when their teachers put them out of the classroom freeing them to be wherever they wanted. Practices such as that comprise what we denominate here the process of precarious schooling. This study presents contributions related to this process.
