Lungfibros hos hund : fallbeskrivningar, histopatologi samt analys av surfaktantproteiner
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic respiratory disease with an
estimated incidence of 3-6 cases per 100 000 inhabitants in Sweden. There is no
cure for the disease, which inevitably leads to death. A similar disease has been
found among terrier dogs, with an especially high prevalence in the West
Highland White Terrier (WHWT). Dogs with pulmonary fibrosis become
lethargic with exercise intolerance, and in some cases they develop cough and
respiratory distress. This thesis gives a brief review of the field of pulmonary
fibrosis and presents a method for analyzing surfactant proteins in
bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) in the dog.
Falun Gong i religionshistorisk kontext
Qigong was initiated by the Chinese government in the 1950´s as a domestic medical tradition to be included within a modern scientific framework. During the first decades it became popular among the élite. During the 70´s and 80´s scientific confirmation of the existence of qi contributed to its immense popularity among the population. Charismatic leaders with a traditional background were leading their groups in parks and the movement was booming. In 1992 Falun Gong was established by Li Hongzhi as qigong taken to a higher level.
Mediernas trojanska häst : en positionsanalys av den mediekritiska genren
The communication and mediation of information and news has, under the latest decades, increased into an incalculable amount. In the newsflow that has come up it has become more and more urgent to sort and select the relevant and correct news. Simultaneously as the information has become one of the most important goods for the western world, the criticism against media has become more loudvoiced and especially the criticism aims at the fact that publicness has become less public and the public conversation is nowadays filtrated through media. The American Joey Skaggs can be reckoned among with the group of media critics, but his course of action and methods to reach out with his critical view, stand out strikingly from the traditional media critics. Instead of, as most, aiming the criticism against media, from an outside perspective, Skaggs chooses to attack the media from the inside.
Symbolers betydelse för barns läs- och skrivinlärning
AbstractThe aim of the thesis was to examine some older people's experiences of everyday life and how it is to grow old in Namibia today. Because everyday life is a broad concept, we chose to focus on some specific parts of everyday life. These are chores, family, work/education, elderly past and present and the government/society. Furthermore we chose to look at the similarities and differences between the experiences on the basis of gender, race/ethnic groups and class.We chose to use a qualitative research method and to be inspired by life stories. We used a semi-structured interview guide and interviewed six people between 70 and 89 years.

Lamellrandsröta i hästhoven :
SAMMANFATTNING
Jag har skrivit om en hovsjukdom som drabbar hästar, den engelska benämningen är White
line disease. Det finns inget korrekt namn på svenska, men vi kallar det för lamellrandsröta.
Den engelska benämningen är den mest använda.
Sjukdomen kom in i Sverige i slutet av 1980-talet, man tror att det var via importerade
travhästar från USA. När den i slutet av 1990-talet fick fart i Sverige började den också att bli
ett problem.
Ambitionen är att få en inblick i vad lamellrandsröta är och vad den samlade kunskapen är
idag bland fackfolk och praktiker. Godtyckligt har jag valt ut och ringt runt och intervjuat ett
antal personer som har stött på detta problem, hovslagare, veterinärer och hästägare. All fakta
som inhämtats har jag sammanställt, men det finns fortfarande många frågetecken att reda ut.
Ett bekymmer är att expertisen har så varierande kunskap och syn på sjukdomen.
Idag vet man att det är anaeroba (syreskyende) organismer som orsakar rötan.
Hälsosamtal i elevhälsovården : Vad uppfattas som ett positivt och betydelsefullt hälsosamtal utifrån elev- och skolsköterskeperspektiv?
The aim: was to describe and compare a group of experts and critical care nurses' agreement in detecting delirium in intubated, ventilator treated patients with sedation / analgesia, before and after an in house training intervention with the instrument Confusion Assessment Method for the Intensive Care Unit (CAM-ICU).Method: A quasi-experimental study, one group pretest - posttest design. A convenience sample of 17 critical care nurses in a general intensive care unit included. To detect delirium the instrument CAM-ICU was used, 21 paired tests before and 22 after an educational intervention.Main Results: The results showed that after an in house training intervention sensitivity and kappa coefficient improved of the characteristic 1 "acute onset and fluctuating course," an improvement that was significant. In other features, and overall values were signs of numerical improvement and deterioration in sensitivity, specificity and kappa coefficient but no significant change.Conclusion: Implementing a new instrument for detecting delirium in clinical practice requires education and follow-up. A small sample of critical care nurses with varying ability to use the new instrument and the fact that patients' status may change rapidly making it difficult to draw any conclusions from this study.

Vitpunktsförskjutningens påverkan på ICC-profiler vid användande av optiska vitmedel
The connection between fluorescence and color management still is a relatively unexplored area. Thefollowing composition analyses the theory that when printing on fluorescent ink jet paper using ICCprofilesa more yellow print will appear. In theory the ICC-profile compensate for blue light that fluorescefrom the paper with the complementary color, yellow. The human eye apprehands this fluorescentlight as white.When categorizing a number of ink jet qualities some tests to indicate change of color in the final printwere made. Five qualities were chosen for further analyses, each with different white point.

PR och trovärdigheten : en studie av PR-byrån Four C och dess kund Akzo Nobel
PR appears to be an indistinct division and a complicated resource for companies to value. The current circumstances are negative to the credibility and reliability of PR. This study emphasizes how an application of return on investment contributes to a more strategic use of PR and increases the status and credibility for the division.We experience that measuring the economic value of PR is of great importance and of current interest with few prior studies made. The purpose of this study is to find out how a PR-agency and one of its clients relates to and works with evaluation of PR-activities and to which extent the economic contribution of the activity is measured.The foundation which the theoretical reference grounds on is theories of Delusions of PR and the use of benefit-cost analyzes, Stages and Levels for Evaluating Public Relations Programs, Marketing Return on Investment and PR Return on Investment. The theoretical reference serves as a base during the analyze of the study.The conclusion, based on the empirical body of information, is that an application of return on investment could contribute with a higher status and credibility for the PR-division.
