Structural rationalizations and regionalization of the agricultural sector in Sweden has lead to unevenness in thedistribution of plant nutrients. Nutrients are lost from crop producing farms as harvest products are sold, whilefarms with animal production often have manure in excess of their needs. In addition to this the retention ofwater and nutrients in naturally occurring wetlands has decreased due to a reduction of wetlands in number andsize in the agricultural landscape. This increases nutrient levels in agricultural run-off and causes eutrophicationas well as nutrient losses from arable soils. One potential solution to both problems would be to store nutrientrichsurface water from agricultural areas and use it for irrigation of agricultural crops.

The participants were 59 Swedish youth national football players born 1992 observed during a four day national training camp held by the Swedish Football Association. Data were drawn from a quantifying analyzing method. The main result showed that the most common stressors reported were, physical injury or pain, experiencing teammates or opponents to perform better and feeling generally insecure during training camp.

An old and well known problem in sawmilling is to determine which dimensions /products those are most profitable to produce. Existing optimization models maximize the value of the log. In other words, based upon the market prices of the dimensions the models calculate the best way to split the log. Yet there is a great uncertainty if the most well paid dimensions really are the most profitable to produce. The costs of the process from lumber to sawn products are hard to determine and are therefore often left out from the optimization process. In this study the economic contribution of different dimensions/products are analysed.

The metal mining history goes thousands of years back. The downside of the mining industry is the large amount of tailings created during the mining operations. Drainage and leaching of heavy metals from these tailings may cause major environmental problems including acid mine drainage and leaching of heavy metals. This study examines a pond located near an old mining site, where part of the old mining facility has been recently (1990) restored. The objective was to assess eventual metal contamination from historical mining and the recently performed restoration using a sediment core as a natural archive of historical metal inputs to the pond.

Bakgrund: Borderline personlighetsstörning karaktäriseras av stark impulsivitet, långvariga känslor av tomhet, självskadebeteende och destruktiva relationer. Suicidrisken uppskattas till 8-10%. Orsaken till borderline personlighetsstörning är ej helt känd men studier har visat att barndomstrauma och negativa händelser i livet kan vara en bidragande faktor till insjuknade. Majoriteten, 75%, av de som utvecklar borderline personlighetsstörning är kvinnor. Syfte: Syftet med litteraturstudien var att beskriva kvinnors upplevelser av att leva med borderline personlighetsstörning. Metod: En litteraturstudie genomfördes där kvalitativa och kvantitativa artiklar granskades.

Purpose/Aim: Exhibitions in cultural-historical museums have traditionally been object-centered and associated with one-way communication. The aim of this thesis is to gain knowledge about how exhibition producers ? and educationalists at swedish cultural-historical museums today relate to communication in exhibitions from a communication scientific perspective.Material/Method: The method of the thesis is interviews exhibition producers ? and educationalists at five swedish cultural-historical museums about how they work with communication issues in exhibitions. The empiricism gained from the interviews have been analyzed from a communication scientific angle, using two communication theories as idealtypes for communication processes; Shannon and Weaver´s model and Stuart Hall´s encoding/decoding-theory.Main results: Communication in exhibitions have developed, much due to the use of more channels for communicating with the visitors and the acknowledgement of the visitor as an active subject in interpreting the exhibitions and their message.Despite this development, communication in exhibitions still have features of a one-way communication. The main feature is the lack of possibilities for visitors to communicate their interpretations and point of views of the exhibition back to the exhibition producers.

Bakgrund: Den goda vården syftar till att lindra mänskligt lidande, såsom smärta. Detta är inte alltid uppnått inom den slutna sjukvården idag, och patientens smärta blir inte lindrad. Musik kan användas som en hälsointervention inom sjukvården och har visats ha en rad positiv inverkan på patienten. Syfte: Beskriva vad musiken som en individanpassad omvårdnadshandling har för verkan på patientens smärttillstånd vid en akut smärta.Metod: En litteraturstudie baserad på 14 utvalda kvantitativa studier om musikens verkan på ett akut smärttillstånd. Resultat: Resultatet visar på att musik som en individanpassad omvårdnadshandling kan lindra patientens smärttillstånd.

BAKGRUND: Ospecifik långvarig ländryggssmärta är ett vanligt problem i dagens samhälle. Smärtan som inte har sin förklaring i vävnadsskada kan om den kvarstår leda till isolering, inaktivitet och depression. Fysisk träning används ofta för att minska smärtintensiteten.SYFTE: Syftet med studien var att undersöka vilka fysioterapeutiska interventioner som används mot NSLBP och att redogöra för vilka resultatmått som används för att utvärdera effekten av interventionerna. METOD: Litteratursökningen gjordes i databaserna PubMed och CINAHL. Ämnesord för respektive databas tillämpades.

Syftet med studien var att beskriva hur kvinnor med endometrios upplever att sjukdomen påverkar deras liv och livskvalitet. Metoden var en litteraturstudie med deskriptiv design. Artikelsökningen skedde i databaserna Cinahl, PubMed och PsycINFO samt genom manuell sökning vilket resulterade i 13 vetenskapliga artiklar som uppfyllde studiens inklusionskriterier. Resultatet visar att endometrios kan ha negativ påverkan på många delar av livet och därmed också kvinnans livskvalitet. Smärta till följd av endometrios har visat sig vara en stor del av problematiken som påverkar både vardag, arbetsliv och socialt liv på ett negativt sätt.
