Höftledsdysplasi (HD) är en i raden av genetiska sjukdomar hos våra hundar Det är en ärftlig sjukdom som främst finns hos storvuxna raser och ger en felaktig utveckling av höftleden som ger upphov till förslitning av brosket i höftleden med benpålagringar som följd. Trots avelsprogram fortsätter höftledsdysplasin att vara den mest vanliga ortopediska sjukdomen hos våra hundar. Höftledsdysplasin karaktäriseras som överdriven slapphet i ledkapseln och dess ligament, samt att ledkulan inte är normalt placerad i leden. Dagens graderingssystem som används är inte tillräckligt för att kunna stoppa sjukdomens framfart. Därför utvecklas nu ett HD-index som inte bara tar hänsyn till individens egna HDstatus utan även dess släktingar. Det är inte bara genetiken som styr uttrycket av HD. Även miljöfaktorer har inverkan på om tillståndet uttrycks samt i vilken allvarlighetsgrad. Diet och motion har därför visat sig ha betydelse för sjukdomens utveckling.

Today we live in a world where the demands increase in the aeronautics industry. This creates a situation where no mistakes are allowed about the regulations and for those who are supposed to follow these. Safety comes first, tracking of components, Service Bulletins which are recommendations from the manufactures and Airworthiness Directives which are demands from the authorities, these need to be updated at all time and everything that is done on a aircraft need to be documented.This creates a situation where today maintenance shops need to have full control of all parts of the organization, which creates a need for a working data system.The goal with this exam work is to evaluate the best way to implicate the new bought data system called "System Aircraft Management" on the basis of the needs of Täby Air Maintenance AB. The system are supposed to get started technically and also be implicated to the users of the system. This work will be focused to create a effective working plan to get SAM implicated with no interruption in the daily work.

Bakgrund: Hypertoni är en medicinsk sjukdom som ökar risken att drabbas av andra allvarliga följdsjukdomar och behandlas i Sverige med farmakologiska läkemedel och råd om livsstilsförändringar. Syfte: att belysa olika livsstilsinterventioner som kan stödja människor med hypertoni att kontrollera sitt blodtryck. Metod: Designen som använts är en litteraturöversikt där vi sammanställt 14 kvantitativa publicerade forskningsrapporter med fokus på livsstilsförändringar. Som analysmetod användes ett induktivt förhållningssätt där huvudkategorierna "Specifika aktiveter" och "Multikomponentsinterventioner" föddes fram. Resultat: Livsstilsförändringar i form av ökad fysisk aktivitet, avslappning, diet och viktminskning kan ha blodtryckssänkande effekt hos personer med hypertoni.

Water related problems are highlighted as a challenge to sustainable development and the topic of forests and water is gaining increased attention worldwide. Governing forest and water is a complex issue, as the interactions are affected by policies and actors from multiple levels and sectors. In Sweden, forests cover much of the land and forestry is an important land-use, inevitably impacting the water in the landscape. This study aims to understand and explain the existing governance framework around forestry and water in Sweden. Based on the Policy Arrangement Approach, the study?s research questions focused on the actors involved, the formal and informal rules, the resources and power structures and the discourses related to forestry and water in Sweden.

During the 1960´s and 1970´s the number of grey seals in the Baltic Sea was decreasing rapidly, mostly due to hunting and toxic substances like DDT and PCB. When hunting became less intense and toxic substances decreased in the environment the grey seal population started to increase. Today grey seals are found common in the Baltic Sea and have started to become a big treat and a problem to the fishing industry. The grey seal destroys and enters fishing traps and consumes large quantities of the fish that have been caught.The knowledge of the grey seal, like abundance and food preferences, is today limited. It is also important to define the position of the grey seal in the ecosystem in the Baltic Sea and to be able to predict changes that could occur if the population would rapidly decrease or increase.

Diabetesmellitus typ 2 ökar kraftigt både i Sverige och i övriga världen. Detta kanrelateras till sämre matvanor och övervikt. Förvirringen kring vad människorska äta för att hålla sig friska och sunda har aldrig varit större. Det finnsskilda uppfattningar och media sänder olika budskap. Sjuksköterskan ska arbetaefter vetenskap och beprövad erfarenhet, och ska därmed kunna ge rättinformation till patienter avseende kost.

The numbers of natural disasters caused by extreme weather are increasing through out the world. A large majority of the research concerning the climate shows that this is a trend that can be expected to continue. At the same time the urbanisation is increasing more than ever and for the first time in history more than fifty percent of the population lives in a city. How we build these cities will have a crucial importance for our adaption to the new climate. In Sweden, our capacity for an adaption are high because of our economic situation as well as our rather well built society.

This essay is about how working with children with autism works with the laws and regulations that fall under the Compulsory School Ordinance and Lgr11 (Compulsory for primary school, preschool classes and kindergarten). The aim of this work was to examine various educators thoughts, experiences and practices related to children with autism in primary school. The study is based on three questions: what kind of rights regarding support do children with autism have in the Swedish primary school, according to the primary regulation and Lgr11? How do the selected primary schools work with the support of children with the diagnosis of autism? And how well does the affected educator?s think that the support works?To answer these questions, four qualitative interviews with various educators, were made. My results show that all four educators believe that inclusive labor of children with autism is a good thing for everyone, as long as it is done properly and with the right order, so that the child with autism gets the opportunity to be part of a social group.

Människor som drabbas av kronisk/långvarig njursvikt i Sverige kan erbjudas olika behandlingsmöjligheter. Behandlingen innefattar många olika delar såsom diet, vätskeföreskrifter, medicinering och dialysbehandlingar. Med egenvård avses de aktiviteter som krävs för att optimalt kunna leva med en sjukdom i vardagen och egenvårdsförmåga som kunskaper, kompetens och aktiviteter relaterade till hälsa. Syftet var att beskriva faktorer som har betydelse för egenvården hos patienter med kronisk/långvarig njursvikt från ett patientperspektiv. Studien är utförd som en litteraturstudie av sju kvalitativa artiklar.

The Vaxholm conflict was initiated when the Swedish Trade Union for Construction Workers shut down a construction site in order to prevent a Latvian construction company to build a school after the two parties had failed to agree upon a collective agreement in compliance with Swedish regulations. An emotional public debate followed that resulted in a discussion of the proposal for the Services Directive of the EU, based upon the country-of-origin principle. In this thesis we will analyze whether the country-of-origin principle or the country-of-destination principle is best suited to capture the gains-of-trade that the common market hoards and improve welfare within the EU. We conclude that the country-of-origin principle is the more apt of the two, though it leads to some short-run costs such as structural unemployment. But these will be more than outweighed by the gains in aggregate welfare for the EU in the long run..

Reliable methods to analyze food for the presence of almond are important ? not only for those allergic to almond, but also for monitoring the compliance with labelling regulations (EG directive 2003/89). Until now the Swedish National Food Administration has used methods like rocket immunoelectrophoresis and real-time PCR to detect almond in food. These methods are, however, not sensitive enough for protecting the most sensitive individuals. Therefore, the performance of a commercial ELISA kit was tested with regard to specificity/cross reactivity and limit of detection for almond both in solution and in different matrixes.The limit of quantitation was at least 3,1 ppm (mg/kg) in solution and similar concentrations were measured in bisquits and chocolate.

Laborationer utgör ett centralt innehåll inom den svenska biologiundervisningen. Elever måste lära sig arbeta laborativt för att uppnå kunskapsmålen. Att arbeta praktiskt medför flera fördelar för eleverna men det kan vara svårt att som lärare förmedla dessa på ett meningsfullt sätt. Syftet med denna undersökning är att undersöka hur biologilärare tänker och resonerar kring skolans laborativa arbete. Det är ett brett arbetsområde och målen i styrdokumenten kan uppfyllas med stor variation.

The purpose of this paper is to study how Swedish CFOs perceive that the requirement for companies to issue quarterly reports affect business operations in the company. The fact that it is regulations on the Stockholm Stock Exchange, and not the law, that requires companies to issue quarterly reports makes Sweden unique in Europe. The paper is based on interviews with CFOs from 32 companies quoted on the Stockholm Stock Exchange. The major finding in the study is that a majority of the CFOs perceive that the pressure for short term results, created by quarterly reports, affect their work and the investment decisions made in the company. Also CFOs feel that the market over interprets the information given in quarterly reports.
