Organic material used for biogas production can also undergo other treatments. The emissions and impact from the different treatments are evaluated in this environmental assessment, with a focus on energy and climate. The materials included in the study are organic household waste, slaughterhouse waste and liquid manure. Other than biogas production, the possible treatments for organic household waste and slaughterhouse waste are incineration and composting, and for liquid manure storing and spreading. The analysis is based on data and information from current and relevant literature, and relates to the conditions in the Swedish energy system.

Den här uppsatsen handlar om mobbing ur elevers perspektiv. Jag har valt att intervjua barn i åldrarna 8-12 år, och barnen kom från två olika grundskolor i mellan Sverige. Den litteratur som används är mestadels baserad på nordisk forskning. I studien redogörs för barnens uppfattning om vilka personligheter som mobbar och vilka som offren är. Hur ser barnen på fenomenet mobbing och hur kan lärare och elever, enligt dem, arbeta tillsammans för att förebygga mobbing i skolan.

Denna uppsats behandlar hur trafikplanering möter olika mål, vilka konflikter som kan uppstå samt hur trafiksäkerheten kan öka. Arbetet är upplagt som en fallstudie och undersökningen har ägt rum i Växjö tätort.Det finns flera olika mål som står i konflikt med varandra i samhällsplaneringen och dessa konflikter kan även ses i trafikplaneringen. De mål som har granskats i denna uppsats är trafiksäkerhet, miljö och estetik. Fokus har legat på hur trafiksäkerheten påverkas när det estetiska och miljöfrågorna ska involveras i planeringen. Det finns risk att trafiksäkerheten hamnar i skymundan av de andra målen, särskilt när det kommer till miljöfrågor.I Växjö kommun arbetas det aktivt med trafikfrågor, både ur ett miljöperspektiv som ett säkerhetsperspektiv.

Under senare år har IR-kameror blivigt allt vanligare i kommersiella sammanhang. Detta beror framförallt på att priset på de detektorer som används för att mäta IR-strålning har sjunkigt och därmed även priset på kamerorna. IR-kameror avsedda för termografi har idag många likheter med digitalkameror för visuellt ljus och mycket av den funktionalitet som man finner hos dessa IR-kameror är hämtade från kameraindustrin.I och med det att de handhållna systems som används för termografi genererar bilder med bättre kvalitet börjar effekterna av ofrivilliga vibrationer, som till exempel handskak, att bli märkbara i mätresultaten. Detta märks framförallt när mätningar skall göras med hjälp av system bestyckade med smalvinkliga objektiv.Olika lösningar för optisk bildstabilisering är idag vanligt förekommande inom kameraindustrin. Lösningarna bygger ofta på att ett linselement i objektivet eller att hela bildsensorn kan förflyttas i sina respektive plan.

When grains of wheat and rye are conventionally milled, large quantities of bran classified as by-products are left and are mainly used for animal feed. Bran is a complex material composed of the aleurone layer, nucellar epidermis, a seed coat, a fruit coat and a small proportion of the germ and endosperm depending on extraction rate. The bran fraction consists of approximately 40-50 % dietary fibre which can contribute to increase the nutritional quality of human cereal food. It would also be valuable for the food industry to convert by-products as bran to products with higher commercial values. The aim of this thesis was to analyse the content and composition of dietary fibre of heat treated wheat and rye bran according to the Uppsala method with some modifications in order to analyse soluble and insoluble dietary fibre separately. Half of the bran samples were precooked, dried and roasted and the other half dried and roasted (uncooked).

This paper describes the integration of environmental assessment in Swedish municipality comprehensive planning through a chosen case study. The implementation of a new EGdirective in Swedish law, concerning Assessment of the effects of certain plans and programmes on the environment, should lead to some changes in the way Swedish municipalities' deals with environmental issues in their comprehensive plans. This could later on lead to new preconditions for municipality comprehensive planning. The purpose of this study was to investigate how the planning organisation in the municipality adapts to new regulations for impact assessment of comprehensive plans required by the Planning and Building act. Secondly the purpose was to partly participate in the early stages of the planning process and thereby indicate and identify possible environmental impacts regarding the aspects of land and water. This was done as a case study in a well defined part of the process.

Several diseases increase the risk of thrombosis in dogs and cats, often with a fatal outcome. Currently there are no definite treatment guidelines for the use of thrombolytic and thromboprofylactic agents in veterinary medicine. None of these drugs are approved for dogs and cats in Sweden. Medicines aimed for humans have been used tentatively. This literature study is an investigation of what is currently known about the effects and safety of these pharmacological agents when used for dogs and cats.

Our study examining how well the guidelines, from Skolverket (School Department), aboutgrades in the course "Samhällskunskap A" are implemented in the Swedish Upper SecondarySchool. The study focus on both teachers and students. To discover which knowledge the bothgroups have, we have used two different methods. The students have answered a survey,which was based on the phrases from the course plan "Samhällskunskap A" about grades. Thesurvey wanted to see how well the students could match the correct phrases with the gradesteps (the Swedish school uses three grade steps).

Kommunen har möjlighet att med hjälp av en detaljplan reglera användningen av mark- och vattenområden. Detaljplanens planbestämmelser är rättsligt bindande efter att planen har vunnit laga kraft och vad som får regleras med dem anges i 4 kapitlet plan- och bygglagen (PBL). Kapitlet är uttömmande vilket betyder att endast det som står uppräknat där får regleras. Kapitlet ger även krav på planbestämmelsernas tydlighet. I PBL finns även att läsa att det är en kommunal angelägenhet att planlägga mark och vatten vilket leder till att kommunen har planmonopol. I de fall kommunen använder sig av planbestämmelser i en detaljplan som inte har stöd i PBL:s 4 kapitel innebär det att gällande lagstiftning ej följs.

Syftet med denna studie har varit att beskriva förskollärares uppfattningar om mobbning bland barn i förskolan. Med uppfattningar menar vi vad förskollärare anser om förekommandet av mobbning bland barn i förskolan och vad de har för inställningar till det. De data som vi använt oss av har varit tidigare forskning inom detta område, förskolans styrdokument, lagstiftning, barnkonventionen och annan relevant litteratur som behandlar detta ämne. Inhämtande av information har gjorts genom enkäter och intervjuer med förskollärare på fem förskolor i en kommun i Norrbotten. Enkätundersökningen bestod av 50 enkäter och vi har intervjuat 5 förskollärare.

Syfte: Sammanställa och granska studier gällande postoperativ behandling vid ruptur av ligament patella. Detta för att beskriva effekt och kvalitet på studier om postoperativ behandling.Metod: En beskrivande litteraturstudie valdes som design, med sökorden: patellar ligament, patellar tendon, rupture, knee injuries, surgery. Av totalt 1240 träffar valdes 13 relevanta artiklar publicerade mellan 1999-2013 efter sökningar i databaserna PubMed, PEDro, COCHRANE, SCOPUS, CINAHL, SPORTDiscus och AMED. Artiklarna kvalitetsgranskades enligt PEDro scale.Resultat: Två postoperativa behandlingar beskrevs, tidig och sen mobilisering. Antingen placeras knäleden i ett stabiliserande knäskydd som till en början låser knäleden i full extension eller så påbörjas tidig mobilisering av den opererade knäleden.

The purpose of this study has been to make an inventory of combustible waste in the region around Norrköping and to investigate the composition of domestic waste, industrial waste and two different types of sludge. The work was performed at the request of Norrköping Miljö & Energi, due to the planning of an incineration plant. The inventory of the waste was performed through inspection of environmental impact reports, from waste disposal plants in a number of local government areas in the region. The quantities were also compared to another inventory, carried out in a different way. The characterisation of the wastes was compared to the fuel specification determined by Norrköping Miljö & Energi.

In this study we have examined in which way the horse is used in Equine Assisted Therapy, and what effects the treatment staff experience and describes that the interaction with horses has on girls who self-harms. Our Empirical data was collected through qualitative methods such as interviews, participant observation and informal interviews with a total of six different informants, from five different activities with Equine Assisted Therapy for girls who self-harms. In the analysis we have assumed symbolic interactionism, a theory focusing on the human as a social being, where the self-image alters in the social interaction with other human beings. We interwove this theory with the Biophilia hypothesis, an explanatory model concerning human?s relationship to animals and nature.The conclusions we have found in the results are:Equine Assisted Therapy is a complementary treatment comprises both horseback riding and exercises which is not based on the horsebackEquine Assisted Therapy almost always involves three parts, the therapist, the client and the horse.

In this thesis we will discuss the importance of human resource development in smaller companies and if it will change from when the Swedish economy was in an economic boom and later on came to be in a recession. We choose to use a more qualitative approach for this research in order to conduct a more in-depth study of five smaller sized companies located on Gotland, Sweden. In order to limit our research we had as an ambition to answer these following questions:? What obstacles are there when it comes to human resource development and knowledge transference within smaller sized companies?? What can simplify or enable human resource development and knowledge transference within smaller sized companies?? Does the teaching process change to a more tacit human resource development between co-workers when there is less room for conventional human resource development?The result of the research came to show that the biggest barrier, when it comes to competence development within smaller companies, is time. However, our research also showed that a majority of the companies has changed from a more external educational plan to a more internal educational plan which focuses on keeping the human resource development within the company.

The purpose with the essay is to point out how the main differences of the Helsinkicommission, Helcom and Baltic 21 can be explained from a general perspective and with a specific focus on two of their ongoing projects: Baltic 21 Lighthouse projects and The Baltic Sea Joint Comprehensive Environmental Action Plan. And to investigate how the organisations them selves formulates the purpose of the two projects. This will be an indication on why environmental problems are handled with in a traditional matter although the rhetoric of the environmental politics is permeated by the concept of Sustainable Development.This dilemma is being treated from the theoretical approaches of Ecological Modernisation and Sustainable Development and linked to how these organisations actually carried out their work and how the historical heritage have a role to play in this complex of problems. The results of the essay shows that concrete differences exists in the way that the two organisations are constructed and how their ongoing projects are designed and formulated. These differences can be derived to the theoretical platforms Ecological Modernisation and Sustainable Development and be explained by in witch political context the organisations were created.
