“…In students' answers the historical professional development might be reflected. In the Swedish context it seems that the holistic perspective from the beginning of the last century is replaced with fragmentation (Lindahl, et al, 2007), which could explain why students in this study request integration. In the past 'doing' was important, while today the demands are different and 'being' is more in focus.…”

Introduction: Nursing education in Europe is undergoing the development toward greater comparability under the Bologna process. Based on our mutual experiences from teaching in Slovenia and Sweden, the students' perspectives on knowledge and nursing practice became an issue. The aim was to explore Slovenian and Swedish undergraduate nursing students' perceptions of knowledge needed for future practice. Methods: A qualitative study design was applied. A questionnaire with open ended questions was used to collect opinions of 174 nursing students from the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia, and 109 nursing students from the University of Umea, Sweden. Textual data were analysed using qualitative content analysis. Results: Four subcategories were identified, related to the content of knowledge: knowledge about 'bodies and diseases', about 'people and communication'; and to its purpose: 'to do nursing' and 'to be a nurse'. The main theme, 'integration', indicated the students' awareness of the complexity of their future work and the need for a wide integrated knowledge. Discussion and conclusion: There were more similarities than differences between the Slovenian and Swedish students included in the study. The students were aware of the complex responsibilities and expressed the need for integrating various competences. Interprofessional education should become a constitutive part of nursing education programmes.

“…14,15 The ideals and norms that form a person's conscience are important and ensure that individuals are not governed only by external forces but also by personal moral judgement. 9 Several studies have demonstrated how conscience influences nurses, 4,6,[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] but less attention has been paid to the influence of nurses' conscience on their nursing acts. Conscience is described as a warning signal 10 and as increasing sensitivity to patients' needs.…”

The influence of conscience on nurses in terms of guilt has frequently been described but its impact on care has received less attention. The aim of this study was to describe nurses' conceptions of the influence of conscience on the provision of inpatient care. The study employed a phenomenographic approach and analysis method. Fifteen nurses from three hospitals in western Sweden were interviewed. The results showed that these nurses considered conscience to be an important factor in the exercise of their profession, as revealed by the descriptive categories: conscience as a driving force; conscience as a restricting factor; and conscience as a source of sensitivity. They perceived that conscience played a role in nursing actions involving patients and next of kin, and was an asset that guided them in their efforts to provide high quality care.

An innovative approach for sorptive separation of amphiphilic biomolecules applying high hydrostatic pressure

An innovative approach to separate amphiphilic biomolecules in a fixed bed adsorption plant is discussed and experimental results are presented. High hydrostatic pressure of up to 360 MPa is utilized to control the sorption equilibrium. Major advantages of this approach are that no auxiliary substances are required for the separation that have to be removed afterwards. Furthermore, of the two physical parameters pressure and temperature that can be used to control reaction or sorption equilibria, pressure is the less harmful one towards the activity of biomolecules. To realize this approach, interdisciplinary researches were necessary. The surfaces of different silica gels were chemically modified in order to synthesize adsorbents with the desired properties. Two high pressure plants were designed and built. One is an circulation plant to investigate equilibrium states. It was utilized to record adsorption isotherms under a pressure of up to 300 MPa. The second one is a semicontinuous plant for a fixed bed reactor. It was hydrodynamically characterized and afterwards used to look into breakthrough curves and separation cycles. The adsorption capacity of the tailor made adsorbents and its pressure dependency was examined via these plants in equilibrium (isotherm) and dynamic (breakthrough) experiments. Therefore, the nonionic surfactant Triton X-100 was applied as a model substance for e.g. glycolipids, which are within the scope of the separation method. During these experiments a surface modification was identified that showed a high adsorption capacity under high pressure conditions. At the same time at ambient pressure, which represents the desorption condition, it had nearly none adsorption capacity. Furthermore, the adsorption isotherms become more favorable with increasing pressure, indicating an increasing affinity towards the applied surfactant.
