Abstract:
Before the creation of Mammoth Cave National Park, this area was home to numerous communities, each with a sense of identity. To prepare for the creation of the National Park, all residents living within these communities were relocated, and many of these communities were lost to the passage of time. Today, public memory of these lost communities is being fostered by the descendents of the pre-park area. Through the use of a Historical Geographic Information System, 1920 Edmonson County manuscript census data, and statistical analysis, the demographic composition of these lost communities was

Around two centuries ago, changes were made to the entrances of Mammoth Cave and its passages. Today the Historic Entrance to Mammoth Cave is enlarged and the passage just beyond the entrance known as Houchins' Narrows has been cleared of rubble and filled with sediments. These enlargements have resulted in an increase in airflow throughout the Historic Section of the cave causing environmental conditions such as air temperature and airflow to fluctuate. These fluctuations have negatively impacted inhabitants and contents of the cave system. To restore natural conditions within the cave, Scien

A long-term forest monitoring program was initiated at Mammoth Cave National Park (MCNP). The objectives of this project were to establish baseline data on the representative forest community types at MCNP based on dominant tree species. Permanent monitoring plots were established in different forest community types throughout the park. A total of 32 permanent plots were established for a combined sample area of 11.4 hectares. All stems larger than 5 cm dbh were measured and mapped within each permanent plot. Data on saplings were also collected. Distributions and abundances were determined fo

Abstract:
An often overlooked connection between karst groundwater systems and surface water is spring flow reversal, the flow of river water into karst springs caused by changes in hydraulic gradient. Karst aquifers are subject to the intrusion of river water when the hydraulic head of a base level river is higher than the hydraulic head of a base level spring. When this occurs, the flow out of the spring reverses, allowing river water to enter base level conduits. River water thus becomes a source of recharge into karst basins, transporting both valuable nutrients and harmful contaminants into karst a

Bakgrund: Mammor till barn som vårdas på intensivvårdsavdelning för nyfödda upplever ofta stress och oro relaterat till barnens ohälsa, en förlossning de ej varit förberedda på, den avancerade medicinska behandling barnets tillstånd kräver samt att en del av omvårdnaden kring barnet tas ifrån dem. Dessa känslor påverkar deras, och indirekt barnens, hälsa negativt. Syfte: Syftet med studien är att beskriva mammors upplevelser av det första mötet med sina barn på intensivvårdsavdelning för nyfödda samt att identifiera områden som enligt mammorna kan förbättras.

Abstract:
Bakgrund: I Sverige är det är ungefär 13 % av alla nyblivna mammor som drabbas av en postpartumdepression (PPD), och 5 % av dessa mammor drabbas av en svår och djupare PPD. Tillståndet påverkar inte bara mammorna utan kan få konsekvenser även för spädbarnet och övriga familjemedlemmar. Syfte: Syftet med denna litteraturöversikt var att beskriva nyblivna mammors upplevelser av PPD och vilket behov av stöd de önskar från BHV. Metod: Litteraturöversikt med tolv kvalitativa vetenskapliga artiklar som inkluderades efter sökning i databaserna PubMed, Cinahl, SweMed och Psycinfo. Huvudresultat: Mammo

Introduktion: Attityder och kunskap om amning och dess effekter har med tiden förändrats på grund av forskning och utvecklingen av amningsalternativ. I distriktssköterskans arbete ingår amning vilket innebär att en god kunskapsnivå ska upprätthållas efter lagar och förordningar. Syfte: Var att utifrån litteraturen beskriva råd och stöd som nyblivna mammor får vid amning. Metod: Systematisk litteraturstudie utifrån Polit och Becks niostegsmodell.

Introduktion: Omkring 10–15% av nyblivna mammor drabbas av förlossningsdepression. Depression hos en nybliven mamma innebär förhöjd risk att relationen mellan henne och hennes nyfödda ej utvecklas optimalt. Då sköterskan på barnavårdscentralen har en kontinuerlig kontakt med nyfödda och deras mammor, kan de vara ett stöd i anknytningsprocessen. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att beskriva barnavårdscentralsköterskors reflektioner av att arbeta med mammor med förlossningsdepression och deras barn.

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Ungefär en av fem kvinnor drabbas av psykisk ohälsa postpartum (PP). Trots detta är det inte alla som får hjälp. Det är därför viktigt att distriktssköterskan har goda kunskaper i att upptäcka och behandla psykisk ohälsa PP, och på så vis kunna mildra konsekvenserna för mor och barn. Det är sedan tidigare känt att kvinnor med psykisk ohälsa postpartum har sämre förutsättningar till en bra anknytning till barnet. Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva distriktssköterskans roll mot nyblivna mammor som visar tecken på psykisk ohälsa. Metod: Tidigare publicerad forskning har analyserats och samm

Narrative interviews were conducted with three teenage mothers and one mother aged 23. As tools for analyzing the narratives, theories about narrative psychology and how people present themselves through story-telling and language were used. The results of the study show that becoming a mother was life-changing in a positive way, according to the young mothers. They described how they, since becomin

How does modern death culture affect our way of life and our ability to take responsibility for the life and death of others? These questions are formed by these current times and affect both my art practice and my everyday life.
