The national bibliography is an important tool in information retrieval. Bibliographies as lists of books have existed for centuries, but the national bibliography as we refer to it today, as a directory of the total national imprint, has only existed for about 50 years. The object of this thesis is to investigate music documents in Scandinavian national bibliographies. The method I have used for this investigation is a comparative study of the music departments in the national bibliographies in Norway, Sweden and Denmark. The investigation is performed by answering the following questions: How do Norway, Sweden and Denmark live up to IFLAs Guidelines and recommendations for the national bibliography? Can one discern any differences between the three countries in this area? The documents in focus are sheet music and phonograms.

This essay is a comparative analysis with focus on Jean-Paul Sartre´s existentialism and Ferdinand Alquié´s cartesianism. They both represented the French philosophy of conscience in the early and mid 1900s. Because of that, they had similar ideas concerning the human conscience and freedom of the mind. But how did they come to those conclusions? And in which cases did they differ from one and other?.

Background: Sweden is a country where vitamin D deficiency seems to be common, partly because of its geographical position, which reduces the availability of UVB radiation, but also that people avoid sunlight due to increased skin cancer risk. Research shows that vitamin D plays an important role in the prevention of many diseases such as cancer as well as autoimmune and neuropsychiatric diseases.Vitamin D is a fat soluble pre-hormone and a collective name for closely related compounds which act as hormones after undergoing a transformation in the body.Humans can utilize vitamin D through diet and produce it in the body by exposing the skin to the sun. Previous observational studies and epidemiological studies have established a hypothesis that there seems to be an association between vitamin D supplementation and reduction of depressive symptoms.Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate if vitamin D supplements may decrease depressive symptoms.Methods: This work is organized as a literature review and article search is made in the database PubMed in January 2012. Keywords used were ?vitamin D and depression? and inclusion criteria were: randomized clinical trials, be conducted on humans, written in English.

This thesis deals with tactics for information seeking in electronic databases. An important aspect is knowledge of the relative value of different subject access points. The method used here is literature studies. Nineteen empirical studies are described and analysed with the purpose to compare the relative value of different subject access points. The studies examined compare the relative value of subject access points in relation to each other or in relation to different scientific disciplines.

The main purpose of this examination paper has been to do a review of recent scientific and evaluated studies performed on children 0-15 years of age, treated with an animal as an assistant to the therapist/professional. The key term is Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT). Our focus has been to describe in what fields these kinds of studies have been performed, what the results are and how effective they have been. As a supplement to our study we have performed 8 short telephone interviews with professionals in the same field of occupation corresponding to the studies we have summarized. Our results concerning the studies show that there has been a positive outcome in the treatment of children and adolescents and AAT.

En karakteristik över Harry Martinsons författarskap. Idéer som korsas. Idéer som lever kvar. Vad hände med den framtidsoptimistiske värdsnomaden, som blev den förbittrade bakåtsträvaren Holger Tideman? Och vad handlar Nässlorna blomma egentligen om?.

Tax revenue is crucial in order for states to survive. States vary a lot in terms of tax revenue however, and different explanations are frequently debated among political scientists. Recently, scholars have argued that the variations in tax revenue among European states today can largely be explained by their ability to collect information about the citizens and their belongings during the early modern period (1450-1800). States that were early in acquiring this information in so called cadasters, could use it in order to collect tax. This fiscal capacity thereafter sustained in a path dependent manner.

SAMMANFATTNINGTanken bakom att införa ett huvudentreprenörsansvar i byggbranschen är att det ska ligga till grund för ordning och reda. Arbetsmarknadsparterna är överens om att byggbranschen ska innehålla rättvisa och sunda konkurrensförhållanden och därtill ett seriöst företagande med god arbetsmiljö. Vad parterna däremot inte varit överens om är huruvida ett ekonomiskt solidariskt ansvar i entreprenadkedjan är förenligt med svensk arbetsrätt. Efter drygt ett års förhandling om att införa ett huvudentreprenörsansvar i svensk rätt, kompromissade parterna den 31 mars 2014 om en lösning. Kompromissen innebär att ett huvudentreprenörsansvar ska införas tillsammans med en särskild nämnd med tillhörande fond.Uppsatsens syfte är att kartlägga och analysera gällande svensk rätt för att undersöka om möjligheten att reglera huvudentreprenörsansvaret utifrån arbetsmarknadsparternas perspektiv finns och om så är fallet även se på hur denna reglering kan te sig inom byggindustrin.

The aim of this study is to investigate the prevalence of computer consumption among boys in ninth grade, and to see if there were any differences with regards to physical activity, sleeping habits, breakfast habits and BMI. The study has cross sectional design with a comparative and a quantitative structure and is based on a former study called ?Food & Health 2007?.  The respondents were represented by 181 boys in ninth grade, recruited from ten different schools in the county of Uppsala, who were answering questions about media consumption, breakfast habits, physical activity and sleeping habits. Daily computer consumption was reported up to one hour for 12 % of the respondents, one to three hours for 65 % and over three hours for 42 %. The boys who had a high physical activity level were less frequent in computer consumption while those who had a low physical activity level spent more time by the computer.

Alla människor upplever grönska och växtlighet medvetet eller omedvetet. Många odlar också själva. Vi har de senaste åren upplevt varmare och varmare vintrar, vilket många forskare anser bero på en klimatförändring. Ett hjälpmedel vi har idag för att förstå klimatet och odlingsbetingelser är zonkartan, men det är inte många som vet hur den har tagits fram. Om vi får en kraftig klimatförändring så kommer vår zonindelning inte gälla längre och vi behöver se över systemet.

This thesis studies private equity firms' implementation of management control systems in their portfolio companies and whether the systems are affected by cross-national differences. A comparative case study examines five different private equity firms to derive if there are any differences between the private equity firms' management control systems in the United States, Europe and China. The empirical observations are categorized according to the framework developed by Merchant (1985) and further developed by Merchant and Van der Stede (2003). Theory on the effect of multinationality on management control systems, also developed by Merchant and Van der Stede (2003), are used to explain possible findings. The applied theory includes the cultural dimensions developed by Hofstede (1984) and Hofstede and Bond (1988).

Anton Rolandson Martin, 1729-1785, was the first travelling scientist to the Arctic area 1758. He became a discipel to Carl von Linné 1755..

Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att undersöka hur väl svenska och finlandssvenska niondeklassare hanterar utvalda svenska skrivregler och det svenska skriftspråket. Vidare undersöks huruvida det finns olikheter länderna emellan, samt mellan kön. Undersökta språkdrag är fyra till antalet: förekomst av särskrivning, hantering av gemener och versaler, inslag av engelska respektive finska samt hantering av pronomina de, dem och dom. Undersökningsmaterialet består av 100 diskursiva elevtexter från Sverige och Finland, jämnt fördelade mellan länderna. Texterna kommer från nationella prov i ämnet svenska (Sverige) respektive modersmål och litteratur (Finland) genomförda våren 2010 av elever i årskurs 9.

The purpose of this thesis is to describe and analyze how the mining equipment producers on a global market manage to handle the changing conditions concerning customer value. Our approach has been a comparative analysis between two different sites in order to answer the purpose. The case studies at Metso Mining have been made through interviews and visits at two geographical markets, South America and Scandinavia. The theoretical framework applied on our empirical findings is based on Blue Ocean Strategy, Customer Value and Resourced Based View. The empirical foundation is based on interviews with Metso Mining employees at Sorocaba in Brazil and Kiruna/Gällivare, Trelleborg and Staffanstorp in Sweden.
