Today sportsclubs are important actors in the work with promoting public health in Sweden. Sports have unique opportunities to reach out with messages to many people with diffrent backgrounds. In many respects sport- and clublife could be looked upon as health promotiv activiteis. It is not just the health of the individual that is affected by sportslife but also the community take advantage of active people in clubs. Partly through a healthier population and partly because clubs educational role in teaching democracy and solidarity to its members.
The state of the Latvian wood pellet industry : a study on production conditions and international competitiveness
In the last decade, member states of the European Union have adopted a range of measures to decrease the dependency on fossil fuels. This has led to an increased use of biomass in heat and power production. In some countries, the lack of forest resource has led to large scale power producers importing their biomass needs. Due to high energy content and homogeneity, wood pellets have become an internationally traded commodity used for large scale power production.
The Baltic States have emerged as one of the largest wood pellet exporting regions in Europe.
Chefers förmåga att hantera emotioner i samband med en gisslantagning
Syftet med studien var att bidra till en djupare förståelse för de mest centrala aspekterna av emotionshanteringen i gisslandramat och hur cheferna hanterade sina egna och andras emotioner under denna händelse. Det empiriska materialet byggde på fjorton intervjuer med chefer i olika befattningar och med skiljda organisationstillhörigheter inom olika krishanteringsorganisationer. Krishanteringsorganisationer är avsedda att hantera kriser som uppstår i samhället. Intervjuerna analyserades enligt en grundad teoriansats. Resultatet visade att när aktörer inom en krishanteringsorganisation möter en antagonistisk stressor (orsakad av människan) har två typer av emotionella normer betydelse.
The screening for novel proteasome inhibitors as a treatment of cancer using IncuCyte FLR and fluorometric microculture cytotoxicity assay.
The problem of finding targeted medicine is a central problem in chemotherapy. From this point of view the ubiquitin-proteasome system is a highly promising object in the pharmaceutical approach. Proteasome plays a critical role in cellular protein degradation, cell cycle and apoptosis regulation.Proteasome inhibitors are substances blocking the actions of proteasome. Cancer cells are more sensitive to inhibition of the ubiquitin-proteasome system than normal cells. Therefore proteasome inhibitors have the potential to be successfully used in the cancer treatment.The study aimed to test various substances to identify possible proteasome inhibitors with the IncuCyteTM FLR image system and fluorometric microculture cytotoxicity assay.
Grammatik och språkorientering på grundskolan
AbstractThe debate on grammar has been on the agenda for thousands of years. Several different arguments and theories have been used in order to explain the importance of grammar in school. Some newer arguments have been added, while others have stayed, either in their original version, or in a modernised one.This essay aims to clarify the role grammar play in school. In order to do that we have looked into its history, the curriculum, modern research and interviews made with active teachers.The results of the literary studies, the studies of the curriculum and the field studies show that the very presence of grammar in school is disputed. The curriculum of today speaks of an orientation in language, with grammar as a part of it, based on the students? own language.
Kvinnors psykosociala arbetsmiljö & hälsa : - En arbetsplatsanalys av en organisation inom företagshälsovården
The following study explores the relation between psychosocial work environment and individual health. The purpose is to examine how female employees in the occupational health sector experience their own psychosocial work environment, focusing on different influencing factors in both the workplace and their private life regarding the employees own health. The study applies a hermeneutic approach in which qualitative interviews constitute the empirical data. Previous research on this particular subject has focused on the following themes: the combination of work-family life, demand/control model and flexibility in the workplace in relation to health and stress. The theoretical framework used in this study integrates relevant concepts, specifically SOC, poor leadership and flexibility.
Prissättning av IPO:s på den svenska aktiemarknaden
Title: Pricing of IPO:s on the Swedish stock market
Authors: Mikael Gustavsson
Martin Kvist
Henrik Wannberg
Tutor: Anders Hederstierna
Problem: There are certain sets of problems for underwriters when they are
pricing potential stock-exchange companies. The problem partly consists of
estimating the demand at an IPO and also to accurately value the business in
comparison to the market.
To set the price per share is problematic, since the company carrying out the
public offering wants to optimise the amount of capital at the same time as
they want the share to be subscribed in full. If the IPO would not be carried
out, it could cause harm to the position of the underwriters.
Purpose: To investigate whether underpricing exists associated with IPO:s on
the Swedish market during the period 1995-1999.
Method: The collection of data has been achieved by means of: Internet, E-mail
and telephone calls.
Conclusions: We have reached the conclusion that oversubscribing in comparison
to the return at an IPO has an average growth of 3.3 per cent the first day, on
every occasion of oversubscribing.
For the studied population, including 138 initial public offerings, the average
market value rise is 15 per cent the first day. When we made our calculations,
adjustments have been made for the general index of Affärsvärlden (AFGX).
Färska socionomer : En studie om hur nyutexaminerade socionomer upplever och hanterar sin arbetssituation
Det här är en studie om hur nyutexaminerade socionomer upplever och hanterar sin arbetssituation efter sin socionomexamen på Ersta Sköndal Högskola. Studiens fokus har varit att beskriva och förstå hur de nyutexaminerade socionomerna hanterar sin arbetssituation samt att undersöka hur förberedda dessa socionomer är från sin utbildning för att möta sitt första arbete som socionom. Tio nyutexaminerade socionomer har intervjuats.Resultatet i studien visar att samtliga intervjupersoner upplever höga krav på sin arbetsplats. Det som är avgörande för om socionomerna är tillfreds eller till och med upplever kraven som positiva är om de upplever tillräckligt med stöd från sina kollegor och chef. Det privata stödet för socionomerna är också av vikt för hur de upplever sin arbetssituation.
Exosomes as a potential mechanism of intercellular spread of prion protein
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.
Bortom Könet : Om unga transpersoners villkor i skolan ur ett queerteoretiskt perspektiv
This essay discusses the students? thoughts about the teacher's response to their gender identity. The students discuss their right to have an intergender identity which means that they don?t identify themselves in the traditional sexes, man and woman, and the gender role each category has. They want to be called with a neutral pronoun and not be seen like boys or girls.
Effects of treatment with PiNO (Pulsed Inhaled Nitric-Oxide) on the metabolism in colic horses undergoing abdominal surgery.
The main objective of this research was to study how increased arterial oxygenation by the use of Pulsed Inhaled Nitric-Oxide (PiNO) influenced the metabolic and cardiovascular parameters on horses undergoing acute abdominal surgery because of colic. The parameters blood lactate, blood glucose, pH and heart rate were evaluated before and during anesthesia and closely after recovery. The study showed that blood lactate concentrations decreased significantly during anaesthesia in horses treated with PiNO compared to non-treated horses. It was also seen that the lactate concentration decreased most in horses with the highest levels before PiNO treatment. Since enhanced oxygen extraction ratio was evident in the PiNO group, improved oxygen delivery to the tissue may be a possible explanation for the improved situation.
"Det är så lätt, det är bara att gå in och trycka på ett par knappar." En rättssociologisk utvärderingsstudie av lagen om upphovsrätt (Lag 2005:359) och de viktigaste orsaksmekanismerna bakom fildelning
The purpose of this study was to find out why the law that regulates downloading copyrighted material does not work and which of the most important main reasons lies behind downloading behaviour. The phenomenon being well investigated earlier has actualized a new demand for normative investigation in connection with the hot debated IPRED-law.Using qualitative method comprising of interviews with three typical file sharers and anchored in Max Webers action typology, rational choice theory and the norm model followed by two assessment models, we found that four important reasons lies behind downloading behaviour: 1) economical reasons was the most central and frequent determinant followed by 2) accessibility and comfort, and 3) social acceptance and moral and also 4) habits. Although the content of the law was correctly provided by the interviewees, it was clear that they did not perceive the impact of the law as meaningful or threatening.The results, being compatible with previous research, are discussed in terms of the named theories and assessment models. We suggest further research to take into account peoples norms as the new IPRED-law soon will be functional as well as studies from a perspective of the legal rights of the individual..
Uppvärmning med spannmål och trädbränslen :
This examination work brings up opportunities to invest in a construction for heating with grain
or pellets on farm level.
As example we have chosen Fröberga Gård which is a farm located in Östergötland outside of
Söderköping.
The farm`s residential buildings is to day heated with oil and electricity.
The result of our investigation shows that heating with grain is the best alternative, partly because
of economical issues but also because you can grow the grain on your own farm and by that you
can get better economy in your seed cultivation.
To grow 16 tonne of grain as is needed demand gives a insignificant increase of work.
Further an advantage is that no investment in machines is needed because all the machines witch
is needed already is in use on the farm.
In a situation where a new investment is needed as in the case we studied, is it often profitable to
invest in a integrated furnace. Because all the components are well adapted to each other, and
because that gives a high efficiency.
If you already own a well working furnace is it often most profitable to connect a burner to it.
It is important to know that heating with grain need more work than heating with pellets, because
the high contents of ash in grain.
Even if you choose pellets instead of grain the calculation shows good results.
Because peat is an excellent but fairly untested raw material for pelletsproduction we have
chosen to watch little more on its quality and conductions.
We discovered that peat has a high heating value which makes it possible to raise the heat value
in pellets through mix up peat and wood. Or you can make pellets with only peat and get a pellet
with high heating value. Even the calculation with peatheating shows good results..
Bostadsförsörjning planlagd?
This thesis seeks to investigate the relationship between municipal policy for housing supply and the planning of new housing in Sweden. Through a case study of Göteborg municipality and a comparative content analysis of Göteborgs policy for housing supply and a number of plans featuring housing the analysis seeks to investigate the effect of policy for housing supply as a tool for securing the demand for housing in the Swedish municipalities. The thesis also seeks to discuss its findings using theory concerning the implementation of policy and the general planning situation for Swedish municipalities today. The result of the analysis shows that most plans fail to regulate most of the content suggested in the policy for housing supply, particularly regarding aspects such as pricing, type of housing and type of ownership. The result also points towards a relationship regarding the prevalence of municipal land contracts and compatibility to policy for housing supply as well as a connection between how extensive the plans are in their proposed land use and their compatibility with policy for housing supply.
Krukväxter med mervärde till dagligvaruhandeln :
The supermarkets are taking more and more market shares for potted plants the last years, and a greater part is bought without prior planning. Signals from several European countries, for example Denmark and UK, indicate that potted plants with added value have become more and more popular and the added value is based on present trends. The meaning of added value in this thesis is fancy pots, packaging, pins or arrangements. Potted plants with added value sold in supermarkets offer the consumer the advantage of getting a ?ready product? quick and easy.
