Bakgrund: Cancer är en utav de vanligaste folksjukdomarna i Sverige. Strålbehandling är en gängse behandlingsform mot cancer och kan erhållas som engångsbehandling eller genom upprepade behandlingar och pågå i veckor. Strålbehandling kan orsaka biverkningar som kan uppkomma under behandlingen eller efter avslutad strålbehandling. Kommunikation och information ses som en viktig del i all vård och behandling. Sjuksköterskan inom onkologi har en viktig roll att möjliggöra patientens delaktighet, tillgodose patientens informationsbehov och stärka patientens förmåga till egenvård. Syfte: Att undersöka cancerpatienters behov av kommunikation och information i mötet med sjuksköterska på strålbehandlingsavdelning. Metod: Pilotstudien är gjord utifrån en kvalitativ metod baserad på sex enskilda intervjuer utförda med hjälp av semistrukturerade frågor. Intervjuerna spelades in och transkriberades för att sedan analyseras utifrån kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultat: Analysen av materialet resulterade i två kategorier. Relation med sjuksköterska med subkategorierna första samtalet, att bli sedd, tid, delaktighet och Förutsättningar för att förstå med subkategorierna generell information, teknisk information, biverkningsinformation och egenvårdsinformation. Resultatet visar att patienterna hade behov av såväl kommunikation i mötet med sjuksköterskan som muntlig och skriftlig information. Diskussion: Patienter som genomgår strålbehandling behöver information om behandlingen, biverkningar och egenvård. Patienterna har behov av att kommunicera med sin sjuksköterska om sjukdomsupplevelsen och av en kontinuerlig relation med sjuksköterska under hela strålbehandlingsperioden. Resultatet återspeglar komplexiteten i patienters individuella behov av kommunikation och information under strålbehandling.

Women’s football has, throughout history, been subject to the resistance of man’s world. The English football association forbid women’s teams to play on the association’s grounds. This ban lasted for 50 years and wasn’t dissolved until 1971. In Sweden it wasn’t until 1972 that the Swedish football association decided to integrate women’s football in to the organisation. Today football is the sport which has the most female participants in England and in Sweden the game is the second most popular amongst women. Both associations have a clear strategy for women in football and for the further development of women’s football. Sweden and United Kingdom are two countries that have different views on equality between the genders and how it is to be achieved. This essay attempts to study the discourse of football and how gender and equality are portrayed in the public publications of the two nations’ football associations. The analysis finds that women’s football is still viewed as inferior to men’s football. What makes this comparative study interesting is that Sweden and England as a part of the United Kingdom have two different takes on equality. Whilst Sweden attempts to reconstruct the gender roles England has a gender-neutral policy that tends to the focus on eliminating discrimination.

Resulting from anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions, average surface seawater pH is estimated to decline from today's approximately 8.05 to between 7.78 and 8.03 towards 2100. For ionisable organic pollutants, changes in pH can lead to a change in the degree of ionisation, which could influence the ecotoxicity of a compound by altering its bioavailability. In this study, potential changes in ecotoxicity of ionisable organic compounds resulting from ocean acidification are examined. This is achieved partly by conducting a literature review, analysing existing literature that investigates this relationship. Potential changes are also evaluated by examining marine ecotoxicity data for ionisable organic compounds on the watch list pursuant to Directive 2008/105/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, as well as on the list of priority substances according to the 2022 proposal for amending the Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC). These data are related to the ionisation-degree for different pH when possible. Results from the literature review indicate that ocean acidification can modulate the marine ecotoxicity of ionisable organic compounds. This modulation is seemingly dependent on the acidic or basic properties of a substance. In some cases there were uncertainties as to whether an increased toxicity was a result of an increased sensitivity of the test organism due to an acidic environment. The substances investigated in relation to ocean acidification so far are few and often had a pKa indicating only small changes in ionisation-degree would occur. This lack of data was also reflected in the results from examining EU-relevant ionisable organic compounds, where existing data on marine ecotoxicity linked to pH was very limited. Ionisation-degree seemed to correspond with toxicity for an acid on the priority list. Combined results indicate a need for more marine data on ecotoxicity and bioaccumulation under future ocean acidification scenarios, specifically for ionisable organic comounds with pKa close to 8, in order to estimate risks these polluntants pose under ocean acidification.
