The purpose of this thesis is to describe and analyse the road towards a modern library in the southern archipelago of Gothenburg between the years 1943 and 1976. The archipelago consists of about thirty smaller and larger islands, of which seven are inhabited throughout the year. Styrsö and the surrounding islands composed a municipality of their own until 1973. In January 1974 it became a part of the municipality of Gothenburg, this is also the year when the only bridge in the archipelago was ready to be taken into use, between Donsö and Styrsö. There is no bridge between the mainland and the islands.

Background: The population of the world is getting older and in the year of 2020, 1.2 billion people will be 60 years or older. A common health complaint affecting the quality of life in elderly persons are sleep difficulties. Physical activity is claimed to improve sleep quality and the maintenance of a normal circadian rhythm. Several studies have shown positive effects of physical activity on sleep quality, still the evidence of physical activity as sleep-promoter is insufficient. Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate associations between physical activities and sleep quality in persons ?60 years of age.

Att ?sexta? innebär att med textbaserade digitala medier kommunicera med sexuella partners, vilket är en praktik som kan upplevas väldigt intim trots mediets begränsningar av de karaktäristiska dragen av en fysisk interaktion. Denna studie har som syfte att ge en övergripande bild över hur denna typ av interaktion konstrueras och tar sig uttryck, vilket görs i en tredelad undersökning som fokuserar på kommunikationsmönsterna och hur dessa reflekteras över. Det empiriska materialet utgörs av 18 bidrag insamlade via en nätbaserad deltagande observation, 2 kvalitativa intervjuer och 56 svarande på en nätbaserad enkät. Genom ett självselektivt urval avgränsades den studerade gruppen till i huvudsak informanter med en medianålder på 27 år med erfarenheter av heterosexuella relationer.

The aim of this project was to look into ten small sewer systems in the municipality of Laholm, in Sweden, in order to work out common assessment grounds for them. The sizes of the systems for purification of wastewater were within the range of 25 to 2000 population equivalents. Our method was to study literature, the laws and regulations applicable and the files at the municipality. The conclusion is that every sewer system is different and every situation is unique. We concluded that based on laws and assessment grounds sewer systems equal in size and pollution load ought to have similar demands attached to them.

It was soon discovered that the H1N1?virus had a different character than the seasonal flu, since it especially affected younger individuals and the consequences from the disease were expected to be more severe. In Sweden it was decided to provide a free of charge vaccination against the H1N1-virus, and the Swedish vaccination ratiobecome relatively high compared to other countries.

Vid designande av artificiella nätverk (ANN) är en viktig fas att identifiera en bra topologi. Topologin har betydelse för hur väl ett ANN klara att klassificera tidigare osedd data och även hur väl ett ANN klarar av att klassificera generellt. Ett sätt att automatisera detta designarbete är att använda genetiska algoritmer. Att använda GA för att evolvera ANN kallas neuroevolution.Vid användande av neuroevolution sker en automatisering av nätverksdesignen. Men eftersom GA använder en population, d.v.s.

Utifrån kategorierna etnicitet, genus, skola och språk undersöks, genom kvalitativa gruppintervjuer, åtta gymnasieelevers identitetsskapande som tjejer som följer kursplanen i svenska som andraspråk (SVA). I studien belyses vad ?invandrar-identiteten? betyder för tjejerna, hur de ser på sin flerspråkighet, vilken inställning och vilka attityder de har till skola och studier samt slutligen hur de positionerar sig i förhållande till killar. Informanterna tillhör samma SVA-grupp i årskurs ett, men är uppdelade i två grupper vilka skiljer sig åt vad gäller inställning till skolarbete och grad av studiemotivation.Studiens resultat är inte generaliserbart till en större population, men belyser och bekräftar i stort vad som framkommit hos bland andra Otterup (2005), Holm (2008) och Ambjörnsson (2003). Det fram-kommer i studien att framför allt identiteten som "invandrare" (eller "blatte") är viktig för tjejerna, och att den blir möjlig främst genom att de har vuxit upp i Bergsjön och Biskopsgården, vilka är så kallade ?multietniska? förortsområden i Göteborg.

The fish were mainly caught by net but also by rod.

Social inlärning influeras av interaktioner, eller observationer, av en artfrände eller dennes produkter. Beteendet och närvaron av en artfrände kan påverka beteendet hos en individ, vilket i sin tur kan leda till överföring av nya beteendemönster i en population. De domesticerade djurens kapacitet för social inlärning, samt effekterna av detta, är stora frågor inom husdjurens skötsel och välfärd. För värphöns är det viktigt att undersöka om skadliga beteendemönster, som kannibalism och fjäderplockning, är resultat av social inlärning. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att granska den domesticerade hönans (Gallus gallus domesticus) kapacitet för att dra lärdom via social inlärning.
