Dvala-predikande var ett fenomen som förekom inom extatiska väckelserörelser i Sverige och Finland vid slutet av 1700-taletoch under 1800-talet. Det var huvudsakligen kvinnor ifrån de lägre samhällsklasserna, men ibland även barn som dvalapredikade.Dessa framförde ofta sina budskap liggande i ett dvala-liknande tillstånd. I det här arbetet presenteras en av dessakvinnor, Inga Elisabeth Jansdotter, som levde i Uppland vid mitten av 1800-talet, samt det källmaterial som finns tillgängligtom henne. / Sleep-preaching was a phenomenon that occurred in the ecstatic revival movement in Sweden and Finland at the end of the1700s and in the 1800s. It was mainly women from the lower classes, but sometimes even children that was sleep-preaching.They made their messages often lying in a trance-like condition. This work will present one of these women, Inga ElisabethJansdotter, who lived in Uppland in the mid-1800s, as well as the source material available about her.

The aim of this study is to investigate the prevalence of computer consumption among boys in ninth grade, and to see if there were any differences with regards to physical activity, sleeping habits, breakfast habits and BMI. The study has cross sectional design with a comparative and a quantitative structure and is based on a former study called “Food & Health 2007”.  The respondents were represented by 181 boys in ninth grade, recruited from ten different schools in the county of Uppsala, who were answering questions about media consumption, breakfast habits, physical activity and sleeping habits. Daily computer consumption was reported up to one hour for 12 % of the respondents, one to three hours for 65 % and over three hours for 42 %. The boys who had a high physical activity level were less frequent in computer consumption while those who had a low physical activity level spent more time by the computer. The boys who were high computer consumers showed either a high or low level of physical activity, while the boys who were low computer consumers were presented mainly by boys with a high activity level. BMI increased in relation to increasing computer consumption and in relation to less prevalence of physical activity. The boys with high computer consumption had a higher BMI than the low consumers and involve a risk of decreased general health. Further studies are required to confirm the results and to find out the causes for the differences, and to give a foundation for further work against overweight, obesity and decreasing level of physical activity among children and adolescents.

African trypanosomes are protozoan parasites that cause African trypanosomiasis, diseases that affect humans and their livestock. Not only has trypanosomiasis had an overwhelming effect on the development of tropical Africa in the past, but it also constitutes one of the most significant present economic problems of the continent. Trypanosomes alternate between a mammalian host and a tsetse vector using a complex life cycle. In the mammalian host the trypanosomes live as bloodstream forms (BSFs) that are so proficient at antigenic variation, and thus host immune system evasion, that no suitable vaccine candidates have yet been identified. In contrast, the lifecycle stages that exist in the tsetse vector do not undergo antigenic variation. This potentially makes the vector-occupying trypanosomes much better targets for control if strategies can be devised to disrupt their lifecycle in the vector or to interfere with their transmission to mammalian hosts. The primary impediment to developing strategies for disruption of trypanosome life cycles in tsetse is a lack of understanding of the molecular basis of trypanosome-tsetse interactions. Although several major surface molecules have been identified on insect form trypanosomes, these have not been well studied due to a lack of appropriate antibody probes and to the difficulty in obtaining sufficient quantities of the different parasite life cycle stages required for such molecular studies. My thesis research was focused on developing and using monoclonal antibody probes for analysis of expression of major surface molecules of Trypanosoma congolense, a serious pathogen of cattle in Africa. I used this species of trypanosome since in addition to being a socioeconomically important parasite, all four of its major life cycle stages can be grown in vitro in amounts sufficient for immunochemical analysis. I successfully derived and characterized monoclonal antibodies that were useful for detecting the three major surface proteins of T. congolense insect forms: glutamic acid/alanine rich protein (GARP), the T. congolense heptapeptide repeat protein (TcHRP) and congolense epimastogote specific protein (CESP). Selected monoclonal antibody probes were then employed for expression analysis of these molecules throughout the parasite life cycle using in vitro grown trypanosomes and parasites taken directly from infected tsetse. In addition, I determined the peptide epitopes for two of my GARP-specific monoclonal antibodies and in collaboration with Dr. Martin Boulanger and Jeremy Mason was able to localize the epitopes on a high resolution three-dimensional structure obtained by X-ray crystallography. This allowed us to derive a model that describes the orientation of GARP in the trypanosome surface membrane and explains the possible structure-function relationships involved in replacement of the bloodstream form variant surface glycoprotein (VSG) by GARP as trypanosomes differentiate in the tsetse vector after a bloodmeal.

This diploma thesis is called "The sleeping culture of the Netolice burgesses in 18th century" and its aim is to reveal the history of their everyday life in Netolice in 18th century with the emphasis on the material sleeping culture. The probate inventories were used as the main sources. The author focused on the objects which were linked to sleeping - sleeping rooms, beds and bedding. Then the probate inventories were divided by social, professional and gender stratification. This diploma thesis could be the first step of the systematic study of the sleeping culture in the burgesses environmental.

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar as transformacoes da producao artesanal de redes de dormir, no nordeste brasileiro, e as repercussoes dessas transformacoes onde essa atividade e exercida. Para se atingir tal objetivo, parte-se do pressuposto de que as transformacoes ocorridas decorrem de processos relacionados com a incorporacao de materias-primas industriais e de ampliacao do mercado de consumo, sobretudo quando a rede passa a ser considerada como um bem de lazer e decoracao. Este estudo procura abranger os diferentes segmentos relacionados com essa problematica em algumas cidades nordestinas. Numa pesquisa direta, coletaram-se informacoes sobre as materias-primas, os instrumentos, as tecnicas e as relacoes sociais inerentes a atividade. Este estudo mostra que as transformacoes verificadas abrangem a reorganizacao da producao de redes e o aproveitamento das tecnicas de tecelagem das redes para a producao de outros bens, contribuindo, assim para a reproducao do espaco. / This study has the objective to analyze changes in handcraft of sleeping hammocks in Brazilian Northeast and implications of these transformations upon developed activities. In order to achieve this end, the premise is that occurred changes are caused by processes related to incorporation of industrial raw materials and expansion of consumption market, mainly when hammock becomes a leisure and decorative article. This research covers different segments related to this problem in some northeast cities. On direct research, it was collected information about raw material, instruments, techniques and social relations inherent to the activity. This study demonstrates that verified changes comprises reorganization of hammock production and utilization of hammock weaving techniques on other goods manufacturing and so contributing space reproduction.

A enurese é considerada um dos distúrbios do sono mais comuns em pediatria perdendo apenas para insônia. As doenças respiratórias do sono (DRS) como a apneia obstrutiva do sono são alterações comuns na infância e a sua associação com enurese já foi demonstrada. Anormalidades das vias aéreas superiores e inferiores podem coexistir segundo a teoria da “Via aérea unificada”. Crianças sibilantes têm maior incidência de ronco e apneia noturna. Admitindo-se que a asma tem associação com as DRS e que essas já foram correlacionadas com a enurese, questiona-se a possibilidade de associação entre asma e enurese. Objetivo: Avaliar a associação entre asma e enurese em escolares de 6 a 14 anos de Juiz de Fora. Métodos: De agosto 2012 a março 2015, foram aplicados 523 questionários por telefone a responsáveis de escolares de 6 a 14 anos de 16 escolas de Juiz de Fora, sorteadas aleatoriamente. Foram excluídos do estudo, pacientes com incontinência diurna, doença neurológica ou qualquer outra situação que possa cursar com enurese. Foram utilizados os questionários sobre sintomas de DRS (Tucson) e ISAAC (Internacional Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood) para avaliação das DRS e asma e uma anamnese estruturada para avaliar a enurese e suas características. Resultados: A prevalência de história de enurese de 6 a 14 anos foi de 15,87%[12,98-19,26%] IC95%. A média de idade foi de 9,42 ± 2,46 e a razão sexo masculino/feminino de 283/240. Enurese está associada a apneia relatada pelos pais OR = 5,34 [2,19-13,03] IC95% (p = 0,0002), a história de ter tido sibilância em qualquer momento da vida OR = 1,63 [1,01-2,64] IC95% (p = 0,0465) e asma atual OR = 2,33 [1,37-3,95] IC95% (p = 0,0017). Conclusão: Os resultados sugerem que assim como a apneia, a asma também tem associação com a enurese. / Introduction: Enuresis, sleeping respiratory problems and asthma are diseases that compromises the quality of sleep in children and may occur isolate or in association with each other. Enuresis is considered one of the most common sleeping disorders in pediatrics. Sleeping respiratory disorders (SRD) such as obstructive sleep apnea are common problems in infancy and association with enuresis has been demonstrated. According to the United Airway Concept, abnormalities of both superior and inferior airways may coexist. A sibilant toddler has a greater chance of having snoring and nocturnal apnea. Since asthma and SRD may be associated and SRD has an association with enuresis, we questioned the possibility of the association between asthma and enuresis. Objective: to evaluate possibility of the association between asthma and enuresis in children 6 to 14 years of age. Methods: Between August 2012 and March 2015, parents of children between 6 to 14 years of age from 16 different schools in our region were randomly chosen for interview. Children with non-monosymptomatic enuresis, neurological diseases were not included. A specific questionnaire for SRD (Tucson) and the ISAAC questionnaire (Internacional Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood) were used for the evaluation of SRD and Asthma and a structured questionnaire was applied to evaluate enuresis and its characteristics. Results: We evaluated 524 children, 283 males and 240 females, with mean age in years of 9.42 ±2.46. The overall prevalence of enuresis in this sample was 15.87% [12.98-19.26%] 95%CI. Enuresis is associated to apnea reported by parents OR = 5.34 [2.19 to 13.03] 95% CI (p = 0.0002), to history of wheezing at any time of life OR = 1,63[1, 01 to 2.64] 95% CI (p = 0.0465) and to have current asthma OR = 2.33 [1.37 to 3.95] 95% CI (p = 0.0017) Conclusions: These findings demonstrate that asthma, as well with sleeping respiratory disorders, is associated with primary nocturnal enuresis.

Bakgrund: Åtgärder för att förbättra sömn är en central del i sjuksköterskans omvårdnad då sömn utgör en grundläggande faktor i människans välbefinnande och även i återhämtning. Flertalet sjukdomar har inverkan på människans sömn. När kroppen inte får den sömn som krävs kan detta ge konsekvenser som kardiovaskulära sjukdomar, diabetes typ två, nedsatt beslutsfattningsförmåga, koncentrationsförmåga och det kan dessutom ge upphov till humörsvängningar. Syfte: Syftet var att belysa sjuksköterskans omvårdnad vid sömnproblematik hos vuxna patienter som vårdas på sjukhus. Metod: Allmän litteraturstudie med strukturerad sökmetod. Tio resultatartiklar valdes ut. Resultat: Analysen av resultatet genererade fyra kategorier: sjuksköterskans kunskap om patienters sömn; nattlig ljud- och ljusexponering som påverkar sömnen; ängslan, oro och smärta som påverkar sömnen samt organisatoriska faktorer som påverkar sömnen. Konklusion: Framförallt visade det sig att det krävs en omdirigering av vårdmiljön berörande ljudnivåer, ljusexponering samt störande omvårdnadsinsatser under nattetid. Vårdverksamheten behöver dessutom omstruktureras för att ge sjuksköterskan förutsättningar för att stödja patienters sömnhälsa. Sjuksköterskor upplever även att de ibland har otillräcklig kunskap för att vårda patienter med sömnproblem. / Backgroud: Sleep is an essential component of the nurse’s tending. It is also a fundamental factor in the human well-being and recovery. Numerous of diseases affect human sleep. When the body does not get the sleep that is required, it can result in consequenses such as menial ability to concentrate, impaired decision-making ability and it can also result in rised mood swings. In addition, it can contribute to cardiovascular disease and type two diabetes. Aim: The aim was to illustrate the nurse ́s nursing in the event of sleep problems in adult patients who are cared for in hospital. Method: General literature study with structured search method. Ten result articles were selected. Results: The result developed in four categories: the nurse’s knowledge about patients’ sleep; nightly sound and light exposure which affects the patient's sleep; anxiety, worry and pain which affects the patient's sleep and organizational factors which affects the patient's sleep. Conclusion: Above all, it turns out that a redirection of the care environment regarding noise levels, light exposure and disruptive nursing interventions at night is required. It also needs to be restructured within the business to give the nurse more suitable conditions and, in general, time to support patients’ sleep health. It was also stated that in some scenarios the nurse felt that some of the competence and knowledge for patients with sleep problems was lacking.
