Bakgrund: Osteoporos är en dold folksjukdom. Förekomst av osteoporos är åldersberoende och ökar hos kvinnor från 50-årsåldern. Osteoporos resulterar i minskad bentäthet vilket gör skelettet skört och ökar risken för frakturer. Syfte: Att belysa kvinnors upplevelser av att leva med osteoporos med fokus på kvinnor över 50 år. Metod: Metoden som användes var en allmän litteraturstudie som utgick från åtta vetenskapliga artiklar av kvalitativ metod. Resultatartiklarna analyserades med en innehållsanalys. Dataenheterna som identifierades i resultatartiklarna kategoriserades och bildade resultatets två huvudkategorier och sex underkategorier. Resultat: Resultatet delades in i två huvudkategorier: Upplevelser av begränsningar och Upplevelser av möjligheter. Första huvudkategorin visade att kvinnorna kunde uppleva begränsningar i form av smärta, rädsla och en känsla av att inte bli tagen på allvar. Andra huvudkategorin visade de upplevelser kvinnorna hade av att upprätthålla det dagliga livet med sjukdomen med stöd av kunskap, behandlingar och självständighet. Konklusion: Större förståelse och kunskap från hälso- och sjukvårdspersonal behövs för att bemöta kvinnor med osteoporos på bästa sätt. Alternativa åtgärder som användning av en vårdkoordinator bör övervägas för att underlätta för hälso- och sjukvårdspersonal och för att kunna ge kvinnor med osteoporos det stöd som krävs. Ytterligare forskning behövs om osteoporos hos kvinnor. / Background: Osteoporosis is a hidden public disease. The incidence of osteoporosis is age-dependent and increases in women from the age of 50. Osteoporosis reduces the bone density resulting in a fragile bone structure and increases the risk for bone fractures. Purpose: To describe women’s experiences of living with osteoporosis with a focus on women over 50 years. Method: A general literature study based on eight articles of quantitative method. The resulting articles were analyzed using a content analysis. The identified data units were categorized and formed into two main categories and six subcategories. Results: The result were divided into two main categories: Experiences of limitations and Experiences of opportunities. The result highlighted that women experienced limitations in form of pain, fear and the feeling of not being taken seriously. But also the experiences of maintaining the daily life with the disease and that they could feel supported by knowledge, treatment and independence. Conclusion: A bigger understanding and knowledge from healthcare professionals is needed to treat women with osteoporosis in the best way. Alternative measures such as the use of health care coordinator could be considered to facilitate healthcare professionals and to be able to provide women with osteoporosis with the necessary support. Further research is needed on osteoporosis in women.

Denna studie handlar om kvinnors chefskap och motstånd som de upplevt i kvinno- och mansdominerade organisationer i Sverige. Undersökningen omfattar sammanlagt fem kvinnliga chefer. Där tre kommer från kvinnodominerade organisationer och där två kommer från mansdominerade organisationer.  Studien visade på att alla kvinnliga chefer upplevt någon typ av motstånd samt att motståndet som alla respondenter upplevt på sina arbetsplatser såg lite olika ut beroende på vad de jobbade med. Kvinnors upplevelser av motstånd mot sitt chefskap tolkades utifrån teorin symbolisk interaktionism, genom teoretikerna George Herbert Mead och Erving Goffmans olika perspektiv samt genom Berit Ås och hennes fem klassiska härskartekniker. Det fanns dock mer skillnad mellan mans- och kvinnodominerade organisationerna än vad det fanns likheter. Eftersom det var fler kvinnor som var chefer i de kvinnodominerade organisationerna och det var färre kvinnor som var chefer i de mansdominerade organisationerna. Majoriteten av kvinnorna upplevde att det inte är könet som bestämmer vem man är som chef utan att det har att göra med hur man är i uppförandet som chef mot sina anställda. Chefsegenskaperna ansågs vara viktigare än könet. / This study is about women's leadership and resistance that they experienced in female- and male-dominated organizations in Sweden. The survey covers a total of five female managers. Where three come from female-dominated organizations and where two come from male-dominated organizations. The study showed that all female managers experienced some type of resistance and that the resistance that all respondents experienced in their workplaces looked a little different depending on what they worked with. Women's experiences of resistance to their leadership were interpreted based on the theory of symbolic interactionism, through the different perspectives of theorists George Herbert Mead and Erving Goffman, and through Berit Ås and her five classic ruler techniques. There were more differences between the male- and female-dominated organizations than there were similarities. Because there were more women who were managers in the female-dominated organizations and there were fewer women who were managers in the male-dominated organizations. The majority of women thought that it is not gender that determines who you are as a manager, but that it has to do with how you behave as a manager towards your employees. Managerial qualities were considered more important than gender.

The aim of this study is to investigate the Framing which appears on the banners which were used in two protests in west bank / Palestine 12 October 2020 and 31 August 2020, and which appeared in photographs published in ضد اتفاقیة ضد اتفاقیة سیداو ‘Against CEDAW Convention’ [My translation] Facebook page. (From the hereon, these will refer to as ‘the banners’) The banners targeted the draft of The Family Protection Laws. The laws related to CEDAW that the Palestinian Authority represented by President Mahmoud Abbas approved in 2020. As the United Nations has declared: The Family Protection Bill is expected to provide measures to prevent and combat violence, as well as due protection, reparation, and empowerment of survivors of violence, while holding perpetrators accountable for their acts (United Nations, 2018) Through Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis Theory and by applying a gendered perspective in addition to the Framing Theory by Entman. I analysed the banners that were used by ضد اتفاقیة ضد اتفاقیة سیداو ‘Against CEDAW Convention’ Facebook page (Hereafter referred to as Facebook page) in two demonstrations, one in August 2020 and the other in October 2020, to frame The Family Protection Laws related to the CEDAW Convention that President Mahmoud Abbas passed. The primary sources for this analysis are 18 banners which were published in the Facebook page. I have found Four main themes that reoccur in the banners visible through terms used repeatedly: "Feminist institutions", "The west", and "Islamic Law", in addition to "Woman’s body".

This project seeks to clarify the historical significance of women in the American West between 1870 and 1930 through the education, careers, and personal lives of western women physicians. The narratives presented in the work provide alternative roles for western women aside from the stereotypical images found in popular culture and history, such as the "Bad Woman," the prostitute, and the obedient homesteading wife. This collective biography additionally demonstrates how women participated in American medical culture during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, emphasizing their agency as historical actors, and countering the common misconception that Victorian women were merely passive subjects of their time and place. The lives of four physicians named Ellis Reynolds Shipp, Mary Babcock Atwater, Mary Bennett Ritter, and Mary Canaga Rowland are available through memoirs, biographies, scholarly articles, newspapers, and other sources that contextualize their careers into the broader context of Western, medical, and nineteenth-century history. Through their personal and professional experiences, a greater story of female autonomy emerges in a period understood to be inherently oppressive to and unnavigable for women.
