This thesis presents the results from a osteological analysis and a GIS-study aimed to examinedifferences in the located animal bones in different areas of the excavation site of Ajvde.The osteological material came from five excavated square meters on the site and was comparedwith osteological results from other researchers from different areas to create overview and try tosee differences between the areas.The GIS-study took data from all animal bone material excavated on the site, a total of about 2300kilos, and presented them in maps of spatial distribution for each layer (pictures 4, 5, 6 & appendixpicture 1) to see if there were any clusters of activity and changes between the layers. The dating ofthe culture layer and the burial field (pictures 7 & 8) were presented in maps to see if they could becorrelated with what was seen with the animal bones. Pictures of different shorelines were alsopresented (picture 9) to compare with the results that were seen in the changes of animal bones fromdifferent layers.The results of the GIS-study have shown that the activity on the site have moved over time alongthe hight differences of the land. The earlier layers show activity only on the higher elevation butlater moves down, and in the upper layers activity have been all over the excavated area. Clusters ofanimal bones were seen in the so called ?black areas? of the sites (shown in picture 2) but also otherareas contained a lot of animal bones.The results of the osteological analysis have shown that there are differences in what species arefound in different areas.

The aim of the thesis is to analyze the role of regional development planning concerning a regional perspective of green structure and to reflect on its future role. The target group of the study is foremost practitioners but also students of regional planning and development. Three questions are examined. 1) What view concerning green structure has the regional planning body of Stockholm County Council (RTK) communicated through the years? 2) Has this view contributed to generating a common understanding concerning green structure among the actors in the county? 3) Has this common understanding been referred to by actors in discussions concerning how this green structure should develop? The empirical material consists of documents from rtk, the County Administrative Board, the municipalities of the county, a network of ngo:s, as well as interviews with representatives from the above mentioned organizations.

The aim of the present thesis is to find deeper knowledge about women?s experiences of sexuality, desire and pleasure during childbirth. In this thesis there are statements of women?s different kinds of pleasurable and sexual feelings and experiences during birth. Furthermore, factors that may influence some women?s feelings and experiences of a sexual kind are discussed in relation to the common notion that women above all feel fear and pain when giving birth.

In 2003 the recommended phosphorus allowance for dairy cows in Sweden was lowered approximately 10 %. For a cow at a production level of 35 kg ECM it decreased from 0,40 to 0,36 % of dry matter. To investigate if the decrease has been implemented at farm level, analysis of following minerals; P, Ca, Mg, K, Na, S, Se, Cu, Mn and Zn was performed on the TMR at 20 farms in Sweden in the summer of 2004. The purpose was to describe the actual allowance of different minerals as compared to the new recommendations. One hypothesis was that the decrease in recommended allowance of phosphorus would lead to the need of new mineral feeds on the market.

Bakgrund: Prostatacancer är den vanligaste cancerformen bland män i västvärlden. Sjuksköterskan har till uppgift att stötta, vägleda, samt säkerställa att given information uppfattats korrekt, för att män med prostatacancer skall kunna fatta rationella beslut rörande eventuell behandling. Tidigare forskning visar att maskulinitet är ett komplext begrepp som kan ses ur olika vinklar och perspektiv. Upplevelsen av manlighet är en viktig komponent att ta hänsyn till i vården av patienter med prostatacancer.Syfte: Att beskriva hur män med prostatacancer upplever att sjukdomen och behandlingen påverkar deras kropp och manliga identitet.Metod: Denna litteraturöversikt baserades på elva kvalitativa vetenskapliga artiklar som har granskats och analyserats. De vetenskapliga artiklarna hämtades från databaserna Cinahl with fulltext, och PubMed.Resultat: Resultatet bildar fem huvudteman: Behandlingens påverkan på mäns upplevelse av manlighet beskriver behandlingarnas biverkningar såsom impotens, förlust av libido och sexuella fantasier, mäns feminiserade kropp, samt hur dessa förändrade kroppsegenskapernas påverkade den manliga identiteten.

Abstract Cavities used to be a very common problem but over time humans have learned to take care of their teeth. However, there are still many who have problems. This problem is due to microorganisms and in particular the various streptococci and lactobacilli producing acids which loosens up the enamel on teeth. These bacteria can be found at various places in the mouth and saliva. Besides being a discomfort it can be a major problems and the damaged tooth needs to be removed or make a dental filling. The aim of the study was to see how intake of probiotic tablets containing Lactobacillus reuteri PTA ATCC 5289 and Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 affects the levels of oral Streptococcus mutans and lactobacilli over a three-week period.

Uppsatsen består av nio flickors berättelser om hur det är att vara flicka idag. Flickorna ingår i ett pågående transnationellt EU-projekt om flickors särskilda utsatthet på grund av särskolediagnos. Fyra av flickorna har etniskt svenskt ursprung och fem av flickorna har annat etniskt ursprung. Flickorna är mellan 18-20 år gamla och det som flickorna har gemensamt är att de är intellektuellt funktionshindrade.Frågor som besvaras i studien är dels vad flickorna anser att det innebär att vara en normal flicka när det gäller kropp, själ, sexualitet och sätt att vara på. Dels hur flickorna konstruerar femininitet och normalitet i relation till kön, etnicitet, utsatthet och intellektuellt funktionshinder.

Syfte och frågeställningarSyftet med studien var att undersöka om Body Mass Index (BMI), metabola tillstånd, fysisk aktivitet och intag av energitäta livsmedel skiljer sig mellan individer med mycket stillasittande tid respektive individer som tillbringar mindre tid stillasittande. För att besvara syftet ställs följande frågeställningar:Skiljer sig de metabola variablerna BMI, blodtryck, blodfetter och blodsocker hos individer som tillbringar mycket tid stillasittande jämfört med individer som tillbringar mindre tid stillasittande?Skiljer sig intag av energitäta livsmedel så som chips, jordnötter, tårtor, wienerbröd, choklad och glass hos individer som tillbringar mycket tid stillasittande jämfört med individer som tillbringar mindre tid stillasittande?Hur påverkar fysisk aktivitet och stillasittande risken för övervikt när hänsyn har tagits till confoundrar (så som, kön, ålder, utbildningsnivå och intag av energitäta livsmedel)? MetodData har hämtats från studien LIV 2000 där syftet var att samla information om motionsvanor, fysisk prestationsförmåga och levnadsvanor bland svenska kvinnor och män i åldrarna 20-65 år. En kvantitativ arbetsmetod har använts genom enkäter och fysiologiska tester som sedan har bearbetats genom statistikprogrammet SPSS för att sammanställa resultatet. Studien baserades på totalt 1067 personer, varav 603 personer valde att endast svara på enkäten och 464 personer genomgick både de fysiologiska testerna samt svarade på enkäten. ResultatResultatet visade att den enda signifikanta skillnaden mellan stillasittande och aktiva individer av de metabola variablerna var BMI som var högre hos de stillasittande.

The purposes of this study were to estimate genetic and phenotypic parameters for conformation traits in Swedish Ardenner, a heavy draught horse, and to investigate the inbreeding status of the population. Additionally, a breeding scheme proposal was created, based on the results achieved in the study. The data studied were obtained from the Swedish Horse Board and from the Swedish Ardenner Association. The data included 1632 three-year-old horses, mainly mares, and 356 stallions, judged between 1986 and 2005 at conformation shows. The traits studied were type, head-neck-body, legs, walk and trot at hand, total score and height at withers.

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) are great candidates for composite materials. The reasons why CNCs are such attractive materials for them are due to their great mechanical properties, high aspect ratio and low density. On the other hand, hydroxyapatite (HAp) is a kind of calcium phosphate and a main component of bones and teeth. The purpose of the present study is to make oriented nano-sized composites with CNC and HAp. Although some researchers carried out to make CNC composites with HAp for biomedical materials, nano-sized and oriented ones haven?t been achieved yet.

Skådespelaryrket kräver mycket av en människa både intellektuellt, färdighetsmässigt och fysiskt. Det förväntas också ofta av en skådespelare att vara musikalisk. Musikalitet kan yttra sig på olika sätt. I skådespelarsammanhang vill jag påstå att musikalitet kan finnas i allt från texthantering till hur man rör sin kropp. Jag är rytmikpedagog, men har också arbetat som skådespelare.
