Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur begreppet skyddsfaktorer hos barn och ungdomar synliggörs och hur kunskap om ämnet tillämpas i tre svenska skolbaserade preventionsprogram: Social och Emotionell Träning (SET), Örebro Preventionsprogram (ÖPP) och Community Parent Education Program (COPE). Tidigare forskning om barn och ungdomars skyddsfaktorer talar för att ett främjande av dessa faktorer kan hjälpa barn och ungdomar undvika att utveckla ett normbrytande beteende. Den här studien har inriktat sig på skolbaserade preventionsprogram då skolan är den sociala arena där barn och ungdomar spenderar majoriteten av sin vakna tid.Studiens frågeställningar är som följer:- Hur synliggörs begreppet skyddsfaktorer i programbeskrivningarna för de tre utvalda skolbaserade preventionsprogrammen?- Hur tillämpas den kunskap som finns om skyddsfaktorer i det praktiska arbetet med preventionsprogrammen enligt hur det beskrivs i programbeskrivningarna?- Finns det några likheter eller skillnader mellan programmen med avseende på deras tillämpning av kunskaper om skyddsfaktorers betydelse?En innehållsanalys av preventionsprogrammens egna material har genomförts utifrån två utvalda teman: preventionsprogrammens utformning och bakgrund samt skyddsfaktorer ? hur begreppet synliggörs och hur kunskaper används. Resultaten har därefter kopplats till tidigare forskning om barn och ungdomars skyddsfaktorer.

Ulla Isaksson (1916 ? 2000) wrote many novels, often with a woman or several women as protagonists. In Dit du icke vill (?Where Thou Willst Not?) from 1956 she depicts a crisis of faith in a woman, which would not have been successful had she chosen a contemporary setting. She uses an adequate historical framework, the prosecution of witches in Sweden in the 17th century, well documented in reliable sources.

The purpose of this paper was to carry out and evaluate a pedagogic ICT-project, where the computer was implemented in art class. Focus was on the consequences of collaboration and also on the students? understanding of their own performance, compared to techniques in traditional art class.The study was qualitative and began with studies in literature. The contents of the literature are the foundation of the discussion, especially theories concerning the learning process, IT and computer-based learning. In the project, three different groups of students from upper secondary school attended and they where given tasks to solve in the image editing program Paint Shop Pro.

According to the basic values of the Swedish Trotting Association the horse and its welfare should always be held in highest consideration. One part of the animal welfare work in the organization is to ensure good horse management practices by controlling all active trainers through the local licensing committees situated at the Swedish racetracks. The Swedish Board of Agriculture stated that high quality animal welfare assurance programs used by the industry organizations can be used in the risk assessment of the official animal welfare control to make the official control work more effective and the ambition of the Swedish Trotting Association is to establish an animal welfare assurance program which may be approved by the Swedish Board of Agriculture. Racehorses are exposed to welfare hazards both in their management as well as during training and racing and factors like handling, training, feedstuff, stable environment, medication and the possibility to express natural behavior all affect the welfare of the horses. The aim of the project is to investigate and evaluate the animal welfare work performed by the licensing committees and to give advice on how to improve the industry?s animal welfare control.

Bakgrunden till denna uppsats är att tidigare forskning visat att elever läser annorlunda om det finns uppgifter kopplat till läsningen, vilket kan göra att det inte är texten som står i fokus. Tidigare forskning har också visat att tonåringar inte läser lika mycket som yngre gör, samt att det är annat de söker och vill identifiera sig med i texten, de vill ha en utmaning och få möjlighet att ompröva sina föreställningar. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka gymnasier elever på teoretiskt inriktade programs inställning till skönlitteratur både i och utanför skolan för att ta reda på vilken roll sammanhang, plats, miljö och tidigare erfarenheter har för läsupplevelsen och om eleverna läser annorlunda om det finns uppgifter som skall besvaras.Metoden som användes var den kvalitativa intervjumetoden och det var 11 elever som intervjuades. Resultatet visade att det fanns ett intresse för texter och fiktivt berättande men att uppgifter inte alltid sågs som något positivt och att det kan vara lättare att komma i dialog med texten om läsning äger rum mer förutsättningslöst; Att kunna identifiera sig med texten är viktigt på så sätt att läsaren vill känna sig medskapande men det behöver inte vara så att det lästa ska vara nära kopplat till egna upplevelser. Engagemanget för texten kan grundas på handlingen, språkets uppbyggnad och vilka frågeområden som texten tar upp.

Background The Shetland Sheepdog is a popular breed of dogs in Sweden. The breed is mostly used as a companion dog and is also popular within certain dog sports such as agility. The Shetland Sheepdog is not included in any breeding programs regarding joint health. The animal insurance company, Agria had recently informed the Swedish Shetland Sheepdog Club (SSSK) that they had noted an increasing number of arthritis in the elbow joints, therefore they wanted to exclude elbow joints from the insurance until SSSK started a breeding program against elbow dysplasia. After the start of this study Agria withdrew their demand, but the study went on as planned. Aims of this study The aims of this study was to investigate if there is any data that may show if there is a larger or smaller reason than before to suspect that the breed has a problem with elbow dysplasia and therefore would benefit from a breeding program regarding this.

Today it?s common that companies and organizations are facing several challenges and problems when it comes to making their IT-environment more efficient. Some of these are the management of user?s computers and file security. Comput-er users are often tied to their personal computer due to personal programs and files.

Icke steroida antiinflammatoriska läkemedel (non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, NSAIDs) är en stor grupp läkemedel som har antiinflammatoriska, smärtstillande och febernedsättande effekter. Verkningsmekanism är att de hämmar enzymet cyklooxygenas (COX) vilket är det första enzym som omvandlar arakidonsyra till bland annat prostaglandiner (PG). Det finns flera isozymer av COX, varav COX-1 och COX-2 är de vanligaste målenzymen för NSAIDs. PG är involverade i flertalet viktiga processer i kroppen exempelvis smärta, feber och inflammation. NSAIDs kan grovt delas in i två grupper, traditionella icke-selektiva substanser som hämmar både COX-1 och COX-2 (oftast är substanserna mer selektiva för COX-1) samt coxiber som är selektiva för COX-2.

Changes in the climate and the environment are largely consequences of human influences. Resources are given to teach adults about the environment. However, there are problems in focusing on adults because it is difficult to influence people when they already have created a lifestyle. We have instead chosen to focus on teaching children about changes in the climate and the consequences of this.Many of the toys available on the market today encourage children to consume. Luxury cars and dolls with hundreds of accessories are often made of materials that has have a negative effect on the environment.Another problem we often encountered during the year is the declining interest in technology and science.

Skanska 21 is a student program for university students. The program runs for a year and a half parallel to university studies. It is aimed at those studying a few specific master engineering programs at Lund University, Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Chalmers University of Technology or Luleå University of Technology. The program consists of a number of program meetings such as company presentations, a boarding school week, rhetoric training and project visits. The aim of the project is to evaluate the Skanska 21 student program.

India is the country with the highest prevalence of rabies in the world, with about 20?000 human deaths occurring every year. The country also has a heavy burden of free roaming dogs, mainly because of the high amount of edible waste in the streets, which are the main hosts for the disease. Therefore to truly extinguish rabies, the main focus should be on the dogs, both stray dogs and owned. One method is to vaccinate all dogs against rabies.

The cooperation between university and industry life in the region of Gävle is always a topic of importance. University and High schools have various roles to fulfill: except administrating the training and supporting research they should also - as a third role - contribute to cooperation between organizations, business companies and other associations. In addition to that, they should support individuals by local as well as regional development. The purpose of our paper is to make a critical review of the cooperation between the University of Gävle (HiG) and industry life until today and the consequences in order to encourage students to stay in the Gävle region during and after their period of studies.Initial we started with a preliminary inquiry with a questionnaire as a base for students in three programs at the Department of Economy; the program for Bachelor of Science, the program for estate agent and another economy program with direction estate economy. From this preliminary inquiry we got the picture of the way the students looked at the problem.

Syftet med denna studie har varit att undersöka på vilket sätt Norrbottenspressen skrev om kärnkraftsolyckorna i Harrisburg 1979 och Tjernobyl 1986. Undersökningen har utgått från det faktum, att problemformuleringsprivilegiet i ett samhälles miljöfrågor har många inblandade aktörer. Eftersom dagspressen och övriga medier kan betraktas som en av de mest framträdande aktörerna vid formulerandet av aktuella miljöfrågor, har tidningarna jämförts för att kunna upptäcka eventuella skillnader beträffande gestaltningen av dessa olyckor. De frågor som studien främst inriktat sig på att besvara, har varit huruvida någon av tidningarna Norrländska Socialdemokraten, Norrbottens-Kuriren och Norrskensflamman försökt formulera kärnkraften som ett miljöproblem och om så varit fallet, söka förklara detta. Vidare har tidningarnas sakliga framställning av olyckorna granskats, samt om de tagit tillfället till att förklara för läsarna vilka risker som är förknippade med kärnkraften och då särskilt en olyckas faktiska konsekvenser för människor och miljö.

Farmers are constantly facing changes, and the exposure to risk requires monitoring these changes. Financial risks, institutional risks, market risks and production risks are the different risk categories that the farmers face. Production risks stems from factors the farmer cannot affect or is beyond his control. The crop?s output is the basis for the primary income of agricultural operations, which is why it is important for farmer to manage their production risk. A tool to reduce the consequences of production risks is crop insurance.
