Titel: En kartläggning av tolkningsproblem och brister i Eurokoderna.Högskola: Högskolan i Halmstad.Kurs: Examensarbete, 15 högskolepoäng på Byggingenjörsprogrammet.Nyckelord: Eurokoderna, tolkningsproblem, brister, enkätundersökning.Syfte: Syftet var att undersöka om det behövs en förbättring av Eurokoderna, och i så fall redogöra för vilka delar det gäller. Undersökningen kan på så sätt vara ett steg mot en ytterligare förbättring av Eurokoderna, och därmed ett bidrag till att underlätta konstruktörens dagliga arbete.Metod: Kartläggningen grundades på resultatet från en enkätundersökning som i sin tur grundades på ett antal intervjuer. Både intervjuerna och enkäterna besvarades av byggkonstruktörer som arbetade mycket med Eurokoderna. Under intervjuerna ombads respondenterna att redogöra för de Eurokod-delar som ansågs vara svåra att tolka. Därefter utformades en enkät som behandlade frågor på de delarna som lyftes fram som problematiska under intervjuerna.Slutsats: Enligt den här studien kan det konstateras att konstruktörer tolkar vissa delar i Eurokoderna på olika sätt.

The aim of this study was to investigate whether a dietary change, physical activity or a combination of both gave the best result when treating obesity, concerning weight loss and BMI. Excessive weight and obesity are today a big health-issue and it is estimated that 10 % of the men and 12 % of the women in Sweden have a BMI over 30, i.e. are suffering from obesity. The corresponding number for children is 3 %. No one can say for sure what causes obesity but there are many theories.

Akademiska Hus owns and manages the university facilities in most university towns in Sweden. Bilbergska house in Örebro was built in 2008 by Akademiska Hus, and designed by White Architects. Today's buildings must meet accessibility requirements determined by Swedish Board of Housing, and it is the developer who must ensure that they are fulfilled. Swedish Board of Housing requirements are often vaguely written and interpretation space is large.This report aims to investigate how much of the requirements which are set towards the University and landlord Akademiska Hus are being achieved. This is done by studying the requirements that are set.

Almost half of the population in Sweden suffers from obesity and the cases of eating disorders are increasing. We are exposed daily to the belief that losing weight will make us happier and it will just be through this particular diet. Even if it has been proven that short dieting plans like ?lose 20 pounds in one month? doesn?t give a long-term result, society continues to buy into the idea that they do.Every day 16000 placards are placed around us in Sweden with loud yellow colors and big black letters which make them almost impossible to avoid. Their main purpose is to attract and get as many people as possible to buy single copies.This essay deals with several questions: How diet tips figures on placards and how this has developed through years.

The study begins with a historical background over the fisheries development in North America and in the Baltic Sea area in Finland and Sweden. As we can see the fisheries development depends on the interaction between ecology, state of production, politic and also social factors. In Sweden the fishery politic has changed over the period of the study. In the 1970: s the main politic focus was on the fisheries progress, expansion and rationalization. The State in Sweden took a vast part in this development and gave economic support.

Introduktion: Kunskapen om hur mycket vi äter och dricker bygger till största delen på uppgifter från matvaneundersökningar där deltagarna själva rapporterat vad de har ätit och druckit. Uppgifter om livsmedelskonsumtion användas bland annat för att studera samband mellan matvanor och hälsa. I studier där hälsoeffekter av fiskkonsumtion undersöks, används ofta uppgifter om portionsstorlekar för fisk.Syfte: Att undersöka skillnader i portionsstorlekar för de fiskslag och fiskprodukter som rapporterats i matvaneundersökningen, Riksmaten vuxna 2010-11. Skillnader i portionsstorlek kommer att undersökas i relation till deltagarnas kön, ålder och eventuell underrapportering. Ett delsyfte var att ta fram ett grupperingssystem för de registrerade fiskalternativen i undersökningen.Metod: Portionsstorlekarna har tagits fram för kvinnor och män respektive för hela gruppen.

In the 1970s and 1980s, Sweden held about 15-20 certified health resorts that wanted to improve peoples? health with vegetarian food and alternative medicine. This essay aims to explore the popularity of health resorts through a patient?s perspective. What did the patients look for at the resort, which they could not find in the official health care? A basis for the analysis is Bonnie Blair O´Connor?s theory of Health Belief Systems.

I en allt mer föränderlig och globaliserad värld ökar trycket på företagens konkurrensförmåga. Knowledge Management (KM) behandlar förmågan att tillvarata intellektuellt kapital med syfte att överföra kunskap från individ till organisation. Vår studie är formad enligt kvalitativa arbetssätt, med en fallstudie på ett globalt, tillverkande företag i Sverige. Rapportens syften är att bidra till forskningsområdet KM, undersöka metoder för kunskapshantering med fokus på projektverksamhet samt undersöka i vilken mån detta företag är en lärande organisation. Den teoretiska grunden baseras på områden som identifierades ha en nära anknytning till KM och vår problemställning; KM, kunskap, projektledare, lärande organisationer och företagskultur.

Milk ejection in dairy cows can be inhibited if oxytocin is not released from the pituitary gland. The problem with inhibition of the milk let down is not new, but has recently regained interest. It is observed during different types of emotional stress, for example when cows are moved to an unfamiliar environment, during oestrus, changing from suckling to machine milking or when being milked for the first time. The aim of the study was to examine the extent of cows with disturbed milk ejection in Sweden. A survey was sent out to 1000 dairy farmers in order to collect data about herd size, housing systems and routines at calving and milking.

Scientific research shows that humans regain their strength when they are spending time in nature. Ulrich, Kaplan & Kaplan, among others, has shown in their research that nature can reduce stress and decrease the after effects of stress. Lund University Hospital, USiL, is a big working place and has a large number of patients. To be a patient often means that you lose control of your daily life which could cause stress. For the personnel high workload can be a stress factor.

Spitz nevus was first described by Sophie Spitz in 1948 as juvenile melanoma. The lesion is a benign melanocytic tumor, which consists of epiteloid- and spindelshaped cells. Histological is spitz nevus difficult to distinguish from malign melanomas and spitzoid melanomas. Loss of symmetry, loss of maturation in the deep component, nuclear polymorphism and hyper chromatic nucleus are features which can be found in melanomas. Some of these features are often seen in spitz nevus.

The aim of this study is, from a norm-critical approach, to find, investigate and analyse human representation in the visual culture of one preschool in order to understand if the children enrolled are represented or not. The research questions are: In what ways is there imagery of human representations in images and materials designed for play? What skin-colors and origins are dominant in the data collected?We carried out a qualitative study in the form of visual ethnography. This method allowed us to use a combination of different data collection tools such as photography and ethnographic field notes to collect our data. The photographs we took of images and material used for play, was then analysed through semiotic picture analysis.

Botanically diverse pastures are commonly used in New Zealand to reduce the ruminant environmental impact by reducing the methane production from the rumen digestion. In order to evaluate the effects diverse pasture species have on the milk fatty acid profile seventy-two lactating Friesian-Jersey crossbred dairy cows were used in a randomised block design with two replicates of six treatments. Six different pasture mixtures were fed at a daily allowance of approximately 15 kg DM/cow/day. The mixtures were categorised as either a simple or a diverse pasture. The simple mixtures all contained white clover with the addition of either a standard diploid perennial ryegrass (RG), a diploid high sugar ryegrass (HS) or tall fescue (TF).

Dental implants that are integrated into the jaw bones are widely used to replace lost teeth in human beings. Tooth-loss is often related to loss of the surrounding alveolar bone. This can make implant placement difficult and a bone substituting material may be required. The standard method is to use a bone graft harvested from the patient which requires additional surgery than that needed for implant placement. Limitations in the amount of bone that can be harvested also pose a problem.
