    This study is a reception analysis regarding the theology of Martin Luther, specifically in the areas of eschatology and anthropology, in to the funeral practices of the Church of Sweden (Svenska kyrkan). The main theme in the anthropology of Martin Luther is that of the freedom of all men and women. The price that we have to “pay” for this freedom is that we need to act as humble servants to all other persons. The eschatological view of Martin Luther tells us that the only condition we need to fulfill in order to be admitted into God’s kingdom is faith alone. The Church of Sweden and their views on anthropology and eschatology are inspired by the writings of Martin Luther as it proclaims itself to be of evangelical Lutheran denomination, but it has incorporated other views as well over time. The conclusions of the study is that the principals guiding funeral practices, including eulogies held by priests during the funeral services, are in fact influenced by the anthropological and eschatological views of Martin Luther, and the study concludes that the theology of Martin Luther is a very good stand point for the Church of Sweden to stay relevant in today’s society.

    Background The opportunity for cochlear implantation has now extended beyond children who are only deaf or hard of hearing. Children who are deaf blind from birth or early in life are receiving implants, but very limited research has been done for this population, and this raises important issues. Aim The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of hearing and vision impairment or deaf blindness in children with Cochlear Implants in Sweden and to investigate the diagnoses issues among these groups of subjects. Material and Method Subjects with an age between 1-18 years were ascertained through multiple sources and almost complete ascertainment was achieved. Results A total of 77 subjects with a referring diagnosis of combined hearing and vision disorder or deaf blindness were ascertained. Out of those, 30 subjects were excluded. Of the remaining 47 individuals, 47 % were found to have Usher, CHARGE and Down syndrome. The number of males and females with bilateral and unilateral CI was equal. This study will provide critical information for health counselling and public health planning of children with cochlea implant in combination with vision loss.
