The artist discusses the work in Silly Trip Wires, 2020 his Master of Fine Arts exhibition. The exhibition includes an installation, Silly Trips Wires, and documentation of a smaller site-specific version of the work. The Artist discusses the process of transition from military to civilian, and the potential effects that mental trauma from combat deployments can have on this process. This is tied to an analysis of how communicating the experience of veterans to civilians, through artwork, functions to bring about understanding.

My work has always been about subjects I am very passionate about and I use them in a way to relate to others by creating a message. For my thesis, I delve deeper into my own life experience to create a piece more personal to me yet relatable to all. I am using creative storytelling and symbolism to create a narrative using not only the lens of a camera but also 3-D animation. “Dreaming Reality” is a statement of female empowerment and independence. Through this story, I hope to bring to light that young women can overcome their insecurities and become independent, driven, successful, and confident. Through the use of the dream process to overview life experiences, all audience members, not only women, can enjoy and connect with the story, as well as feel empowered to create their own life story through their creative lens.

Preporsition for bachelor thesis project, working from the inside and out. Emphasising spatial quality and experience, More or less ignoring form and program. I’ve had issues with these aspects in earlier project, the form or the program takes alot of place in the project. I haven’t tried this approach before, it’s an attractive thought to allow the project take a form of it’s own, enclosing those spaces i create. The initial concept was to place the pools on the ground (not digging them into the ground) making them volumes that divide and define spaces. Also shifting the interaction between those in the water and those walking alongside the edges. The ceiling should mirror the spaces created by the pool. sinking down over some areas and opening up above others. My process is usually exploratory, I find something i can’t undestand or something where i can’t image the outcome. I play with this until patterns emerge or i feel i can control it. In that stage the inspiration vains. It’s magical to experiencing new things and constantly learning. When i come to that state the project tends to generate itself. During this thesis project I want to define my own process. I want to put it into words in order to understand it myself, but also in order to communicate it to others. Map it all out and hopefully find what makes a project selfgenerating. Filter everything and find the essence of what i’ve learned from my education.

Barn med funktionsnedsättningar upplever mer problem med hälsan och lägre livskvalitet än barn utan funktionsnedsättning. En integrativ litteraturstudie användes för att beskriva och belysa barns upplevelser av att leva med synnedsättning. En analys av 13 artiklar utfördes. Barn med synnedsättning beskrev bland annat hur de undvek sociala situationer där problem relaterat till synnedsättningen kunde uppstå.Många barn deltog tillsammans med sina familjer i fritidsaktiviteter anordnade för barn med synnedsättning arrangerade av olika organisationer. Barnen beskrev både positiva och negativa upplevelser av sina möten med vården. Några av barnen beskrev en frustration över att behöva förklara sitt tillstånd för vårdpersonal som inte var insatta i deras hälsohistorik. Fysisk aktivitet och skola var ett återkommande ämne i flera studier och barnens självkänsla och självförtroende påverkades av möjligheterna till att delta inom dessa områden. Barnen upplevde besvikelse och frustration över den stigmatisering som en synnedsättning innebar. Studien belyser ett relativt outforskat ämne där forskning inriktad på att mäta välbefinnande hos barn och ungdom som lever med synnedsättning är sparsam både utomlands och i Sverige. Genom att samla den befintliga forskningen kan kunskapen öka och leda till en mer individanpassad vård och omvårdnad. / Children with disabilities experience more problems and difficulties with their health and decreased quality-of-life conditions than other children. An integrative litteraturestudy was used to describe the experiences of children with visual impairment and their everyday-life. This study includes an anlysis of 13 articles. The children described scenarios in which social settings were avoided due to problems or concerns that may arise involving the visual impairment. Many of the children with visual impairment and their families attended leisure services that were arranged by different childrens organisations. The children described both positive and negative experiences when meeting with their caregivers. Some of the children described a frustration of having to explain their medcial and health condition to caregivers who were not familiarwith their medical and personal history. A recurring theme in several studies was physical activity and school and how self-esteem and confidence of the children often depended on opportunities to participate in these subjects. Children experienced disappointments and frustrations over the stigmatisation that visual impairment involved. The study encompasses a topic that is relatively unexplored and in need of further research to provide greater understanding. Research that focuses on evaluating the well being of children and youth living with vision loss is sparingly both in Sweden and abroad. By summarizing the existing research, increased knowledge could lead to a more individualized nursing care for these children.

Participants in extreme sports have usually been studied from a risk perspective. The present study seeks to move away from this preconception and aims to study the emotional subjective experience. A qualitative methodology with phenomenological-hermeneutic design was used taking as a tool conversational systems. The informants were 8 extreme athletes belonging to the same group. Extreme sports included were: Mountain climbing, rappelling, bungee jumping, and mountaineering. The results indicate that fear is a generator of freedom, it can be useful, it is rewarding and it is also a promoter of personal transformations. This research gives theoretical value to the reason for involvement in extreme sports.

Bakgrund: I Sverige lider ca 5 – 15 % av fertila kvinnor i åldern 30 – 40 år av endometrios. Det kan ta upp till 10 år innan den korrekta diagnosen ställs. Många kvinnor lider av bland annat stark smärta, smärtor vid ägglossning och djupa samlagssmärtor. Det finns endast behandling som kan lindra kvinnornas symtom. Behandlingen medför stora sjukvårdskostnader som påverkar samhällets ekonomi. Syfte: Syftet var att belysa kvinnors upplevelser av att leva med endometrios. Metod: Litteraturöversikten har genomförts av resultatet från 10 vetenskapliga kvalitativa artiklar som hämtats från databasen Cinahl Complete och Medline. Resultat: Ur resultatet framkom två huvudteman. (1) Leva med långvarig smärta med undertemat; Påverkan på det sexuella livet, Oro kring fertilitet och Hur smärtan påverkade kvinnornas arbetssituation. (2) Möten med vården med undertemat; Vårdens olika värderingar och Att vara sin egen expert. Slutsats: Resultatet av den här litteraturöversikten visar att endometrios är en diagnos där det saknas kunskap och utbildning från vårdens håll och där kvinnor lider både fysiskt och psykiskt, vilket påverkar deras liv i stor utsträckning. Sjukvården måste ta kvinnor som söker vård på allvar och kunskapen måste ökas för samtliga vårdkategorier för att kunna bygga en relation samt hjälpa dem till ett värdigt liv.

Background: Stroke is a common disease in Sweden and between 25 000–30 000 people fall ill every year. A stroke causes oxygen deficiency and can lead to lifelong disabilities for the patient. Multidisciplinary teams work together where the nurse plays an important role for the care and the process of recovery. Aim: Highlight nurses' experiences of caring for patients who have had a stroke. Method: The design of the study is a literature study with a qualitative approach. The study is based on ten articles and was analyzed using Friberg’s five-step analysis. Results: Two themes and six subthemes emerged. Nurses felt that their care was important for the patient's recovery but wanted further specialized training. Multidisciplinary collaboration was perceived as important both for the development of knowledge and the patient's care. Nurses highlighted relatives' participation in patient care. However, there were daily challenges of, among other things, time pressure and understaffing. Conclusion: The study showed that nurses wish to provide good care for their patients and that their care was important. However, they experience daily challenges. Through organizational changes such as increased staff density and continuing education, the role of the nurse can be strengthened and lead to improved patient care.

This thesis presents data gained from qualitative research that took place in Prague, Czech Republic in 2009. Based on semi-structured interviews with kids from Scout Groups it analyzes gender aspects of Czech Scouting. In my thesis, I introduce a short history of the Scout Movement in the world, as well as in the Czech Republic with a specific interest in the formation of the Girl Scouting. My assumption is that Czech scouting offers special environment for gender sensitive education without realizing the great potential. I suggest that the absence of coeducation in the scout units is the key element in gender sensitive education with the opportunity for the children to try freely whatever they wish for without being pressurized by the social prejudices about their gender which I try to verify through the experiences of the children.
