Obesity is a problem that increases exponentially in humans and companion animals. It is defined as a big accumulation of fat in the body and is usually connected with several diseases. This study describes how obesity can be diagnosed, in which way the gut flora can affect obesity, if the gut flora is genetically influenced or not, and how it differs between individuals with obesity and obesity-related diseases. Conclusions of the study are that both the bacterial strains Bacteriodetes and Firmicutes probably have a connection to obesity. The intestinal flora is probably also genetically related.

ADHD är ett funktionshinder som betyder att man kan ha problem med att reglera och kontrollera uppmärksamhet, impulsivitet och överaktivitet. Syftet med undersökningen är att ta reda på hur man i skolan arbetar med barn som har ADHD. Vi har använt oss av en kvalitativ forskningsmetod med intervjuer och observationer inom ett och samma område. Av vårt resultat framgick det att tydlighet, struktur samt förberedelse är viktiga komponenter i arbetet med barn som har ADHD. Det finns generella metoder för hur pedagoger kan anpassa undervingen men det är viktigt att anpassa de utifrån individens specifika begränsningar och behov.
