In article 1.2 c) EC regulation 852/2004 it says that the regulation is not applicable to producers who directly supply small quantities of primary products to the final consumer or to the local retailers who in their turn directly supply the final consumer. An almost identical regulation can be found in article 1.3 c) EC regulation 853/2004. The supply by a primary producer of small quantities of primary products, of animal origin or not, are consequently excepted from these two hygiene regulations. In article 1.3 EC regulation 852/2004 and article 1.4 EC regulation 853/2004 it says that the member states are to establish national rules in their national legislation as to the regulation of exception for small quantities. The aim of this study was to investigate the handling of small quantities of primary products distributed locally in Sweden but also the handling of these products in other countries.

Sammanfattning Titel: Kunskapens makt - Makten över kunskapen Författare: Sofia Eriksson, Håkan Lindgren och Noomi Nilsson Handledare: Henrick Gyllberg och Björn Ljunggren Institution: Blekinge Tekniska Högskola Kurs: Kandidatarbete i företagsekonomi 15 hp Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att skapa förståelse för hur kunskapsföretag arbetar med omvandlingen av humankapital till strukturkapital för att behålla de anställdas kunskap i företaget och därmed undvika beroende av enskilda individer. Metod: Vi genomförde vår studie på tre kunskapsföretag där vi gjorde sex kvalitativa intervjuer med sju personer. Tre av personerna sitter i ledningen och de andra fyra är anställda och har varit ett komplement till ledningen. Slutsats: Vår studie visar att omvandling av humankapital till strukturkapital sker antingen genom överföring mellan de anställda eller genom att de anställda överför kunskap till företagets infrastruktur. Överföring mellan de anställda sker med verktyg som mentorskap och temas som bygger på den mänskliga kommunikationen. Även kunskapskarta används, men då bara i två av företagen. Överföring av kunskap från de anställda till företagets infrastruktur sker med hjälp av IT-verktyg som databaser och intranät.

In the end of the 80´s the area of system development moved into a new era. As a consequence many new methods and development models emerged which in many cases resulted in problems when choosing system development models and methods. As a result of these problems the today standardized modeling language UML (Unified Modeling Language) was created. UML is tailored to support many different types of projects. This is possible because of UML?s capacity to be adjusted and adapted to a specific company environment.The purpose of this bachelor thesis is to investigate how and why companies use UML and what experiences and opinions those who use UML have of using UML in practice.

Är det så att revisorer och firmatecknare upplever att villkoren för revisionsuppdraget har definierats tydligare p.g.a. införandet av uppdragsbrev? Syftet med uppsatsen har varit att undersöka om auktoriserade och godkända revisorers uppfattning skiljer sig från firmatecknares för de små aktiebolagen, med avseende på uppdragsbrevets innebörd.

During an endurance riding competition the onset of metabolic disorders leading up to elimination from the race are common. As many as 8,7 % of the horses participating in international endurance riding competitions are eliminated due to metabolic causes such as tachycardia, absence of borborygmi, hyperthermia and dehydration. To prevent the onset of metabolic disorders in the horse the rider must be able to determine the physiological and physical status of his or her horse. This requires good knowledge in nutrition, physiology and performance training. The risk of developing metabolic problems is reduced through the right feeding management and training.

The Swedish Transport Administration has, and manages, a database containing information of the status of road condition on all paved and governmental operated Swedish roads.

Renal dysplasi (RD) is a congenital chronic renal disease affecting young dogs. It is a rather common disease that occurs in a large number of dogs and in some breeds there is a familiar incidence or suspected hereditary background. Both the etiology and pathogenesis are still unknown, but a theory about the cause of RD is that the two components that form the kidney, the uretheric bud and the metanephrogenic blastema, don´t interact normally in the embryo. Kidneys affected by RD contain fetal (immature) structures that are inappropriate for the state of development/age of the dog and abnormal structures caused by an abnormal differentiation. Affected dogs usually are under .

In Trollhättan municipality approximately 700 school bus stops are in service. To ensure high quality of the performance of school bus operations, with focus on traffic safety, it was decided to conduct a survey of bus stops including assessments of risks.This master thesis aims to identify the factors affecting road safety at bus stops and pedestrian connections, and to conduct an inventory and analysis of selected sites in Trollhättan municipality. The work also aims to show examples of how risk assessment should be performed in future studies. A risk analysis model provided by the Swedish Transport Administration is supplemented and used in a field study. The risk assessment is based on, inter alia, traffic flow, visibility distance, lighting, speed of traffic and the presence of bus shelter.
