Bröstcancer är den vanligaste cancerformen hos kvinnor och drabbar ca 7000 svenska kvinnor varje år. Tack vare regelbundna mammografiundersökningar som kvinnor över 40 år kallas till, upptäcks ofta cancern tidigt och kan behandlas. Hos författarna växte en vilja att veta hur kvinnorna upplever perioden mellan diagnos och operation. Det skapades en önskan att förstå hur kvinnorna upplever det att stå inför en mastektomi där hela bröstet ska tas bort och hur det inverkar på deras känslor och vardag. Syftet med studien är därför att belysa patienters upplevelser i väntan på en bröstcanceroperation.

Beans are a global source of plant-based protein, and in some countries, they constitute a primary source of protein intake. With ongoing climate change, including rising temperatures, it is necessary to adapt beans to ensure a reliable food supply. An important mechanism that many plants have, to cope with high temperatures, is cooling through transpiration. During transpiration, stomata open and release water vapor. Water molecules use heat energy from the leaf to convert into gas, thereby cooling the leaf.

Syftet med föreliggande studievar att ta del av elevers upplevelser från sin tid på en resursskola samt hur de unga vuxna upplever sin livssituation idag relaterat till sin tid på resursskolan.Som metod har vi valt triangulering, vilket innebär att vi har haft flera olika strategier vid insamling av empiri. De tillvägagångssätt vi har valt att kombinera är av både kvantitativ och kvalitativ karaktär. Den kvantitativa delen bestod av enenkätliknande intervjuguide som dessutom innehöll två frågor av kvalitativ natur. Dessutom har vi kompletterat vår kvalitativa studie med tre djupintervjuer där vi använde oss av en intervjuguide med öppna frågor.Resultatet av föreliggande studie visar att tiden på resursskolan var personligt lönsam för de allra flesta av de medverkande ungdomarna. Många säger att de aldrig hade klarat skolan om de inte hade kommit till resursskolan, men att själva lärandet inte var den viktigaste aspekten då de blickar tillbaka på resursskoletiden.

Through an internship at a nonprofit organization called ATSUB[1], specialized at giving support to non-offending parents to sexually abused children, one of the authors to this study found that there was a lack of care for the parents by governmental operations. While studying the previous research we found a great deficiency when it came to non-offending parents and far most about non-offending fathers. We found studies proving that the child?s non-offending parents are the best support for the child during their healing process. Research also shows that parents must be able to get good support and treatment during their crisis for the parents to be able to support the child, since they?re also in great despair over their child being sexually abused.

The purpose of this study is to present a comparative analysis of seven literature anthologies for the Upper Secondary School, from 1968-2004, to investigate how much space Esaias Tegnér is getting and how many and which of his works that is presented in these anthologies.The study is set against the hypothesis that Tegnér is getting a reduced space in the anthologies because of his connection to Romantic nationalism, which after World War II has been associated to the themes and ideology of the National Socialism. In view of this I have asked myself if Tegnér is getting a reduced space in the literature anthologies for the Upper Secondary School. My study shows that this is the case.One can also see clear trends in a subjective approach towards the author. In the anthologies where Tegnér have had a strong prominent role, he is retaining his position even in later editions. Over the entire period of 1968-2004 he is getting a less prominent role, although he is generally presented as the greatest poet of his time.I have also examined the discussion of Tegnér during that period to see if you can find any connection between the discussion about Tegnér and the change his work gets in the literature anthologies.

When cows in Sweden are inseminated the heat strength is reported to the Swedish milk-recording scheme and AI scheme. Cows that show strong signs of estrus are desirable and the trait is included in the Swedish breeding goal. A strong heat makes it easier to inseminate at the right time and to avoid long and expensive days open. Since ten years the heat strength is scored from one to five by the farmer and reported to the milk-recording scheme and AI scheme. Earlier the score was from one to three and the decision was made by the AI technician.

Benthic invertebrates play important roles as feeding resources for many organisms in different food webs. Shifts in predation of these organisms can generate cascading effects and potentially lead to the disappearance of one or more species from a site. Cascading effects can bring impacts to organisms who aren?t even directly involved, why studies in this field are important for understanding sudden changes in ecosystems. I examined the predation from fish and waterfowl on benthic invertebrates in the shallow and eutrophic Lake Tåkern in the plains of Östergötland County, southern Sweden.

This essay presents an investigation of the ruins of an assembly of crofts in a rural area in the south of Sweden, outside the town Falk?ping. Using literary sources and intangible sources, and then combine them with the information found by investigation of the physical remains of the crofts, the essay attempts to capture the life and the living conditions of the crofters. The investigation is focusing on the period between the nighteenth century and the first decades of the twentieth century, and looks into the the living conditions according to, for example, the buildings, the orientation in the landscape, demografical changes, the transformation of the area over years and how the crofters were affected by powerty. The investigation shows that the crofters in many ways were in vulnerable and exposed positions, powerty summarized as a lack of freedom ? concerning economical, political and social dimensions.

In many regulated rivers, authorities have stocked hatchery salmon to compensate for loss of wild populations. However, hatchery fish have not always behaved as wild fish do, and stocking them has not always fully compensated for the loss of wild fish. The purpose of this study was to compare swimming behaviour in the river before spawning, the choice of spawning areas and body size between wild and hatchery-reared salmon in the river Klarälven. Salmon behaviour in the river before spawning was analyzed using radio telemetry. The salmon were caught at Forshaga power plant, radio-tagged and returned to Klarälven at Ekshärad, 107 km from the river?s mouth.

The loss of habitat is one of the greatest threats to global biodiversity today. Consequences to a species inhabiting fragmented habitats include: group size changes, altered diets and altered foraging behaviours. In my study I observed Colobus anlgolensis palliatus troops living in the forests of Diani, a highly developed area on the Kenyan coast. I looked for differences in behaviours between three troops inhabiting pristine forest patches and three troops inhabiting highly degraded forest areas. I used focal animal sampling with instantaneous sample points.

One could argue that the most discussed topic in finance is whether or not it is possible to ?beat the market?. Even though many people claim to do this, there is little evidence to support the idea that one can consistently beat the market over a long period of time. There are indeed several examples of investors who have managed to outperform the market consistently for a long time, but the efforts of these individuals or institutions could by many be considered to be pure luck.One of the many strategies that have been evaluated by several researchers and is said to generate a risk adjusted return greater than that of the market, is one based on the P/E-effect. This strategy is based on the financial ratio P/E ? price divided by earnings ? and used by constructing portfolios consisting of stocks with low P/E ratios.

This thesis investigates the socio- and environmental economic effects of a deep repository for spent nuclear fuel in Forsmark in the municipality of Östhammar. I seek to show the general picture but focus on the effects on employment, environment and income. Cost-benefit analysis is used to investigate the differences in utility between a scenario with and a scenario without a deep repository in Forsmark. Most of the possible effects can not be valued and many can not even be quantified with the data available today. Therefore this thesis has a bit of a ?preliminary study character? and seeks to show what we know today and what needs to be further investigated when available data allow it. The costs that could be valued are noise from the traffic during the period of building and emissions of carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides from the transportation of rock masses during the building period.

Bakgrund Cirka sju procent av barnen i Sverige har diagnosen Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), som ?r en neuropsykiatrisk funktionsneds?ttning som ofta f?ljs av sociala och empatiska sv?righeter. Lek utg?r en betydande del av barnets l?randeprocess. Genom lek socialiseras barn och utvecklas i samspel med andra.

Denna litteraturstudie är avsedd för sjuksköterskor som i sitt vardagliga arbete träffar personer med Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Denna patientgrupp förekommer överallt i vården. Författarna tror att det saknas tillräckligt med kunskap hos sjuksköterskan för att kunna möta och ge dessa personer en så bra vård som möjligt. Syftet med studien är att undersöka evidensen av sambandet mellan personer med ADHD och riskerna att utveckla ett framtida missbruk för att öka sjuksköterskans kunskap. Forskningen är oense om huruvida det föreligger en ökad risk för missbruk vid ADHD, dock kan det ses att om personen samtidigt har en uppförandestörning så ökar risken.
