Artificial insemination (AI) has had a great influence on the development of pig production and is today widely practiced (Gerrit et al., 2005). With AI, genetic progress can at a short period of time be spread worldwide compared with using natural service and the best boars can be intensively used. This is also one of the biggest risks with AI; the impact of semen containing a genetic disease or contamination of pathogens can be enormous. Fortunately, it is a small risk of disease transmission due to many tests of the boars and the semen before use (Maes et al, 2008). It is important that the boars used for insemination have good breeding values along with good reproduction features and have good fertility results (Robinson et al., 2005).

This essay, Jacobsberg ? a Landscape Garden and a Cemetery is a documentation and a historical analyze where I?ve been focusing on the development of the landscape garden in Sweden in relation to a garden called Jacobsberg. The garden was built close to Visby on Gotland in the early 1800s by the assessor Jacob Dubbe, but has since been almost forgotten. My survey aims to depict the circumstances surrounding the creation of Jacobsberg. In what purpose was it built? I?ve also been examine the historical context of the garden?s origins with the intention to define and confirm its architectural style.The essay comprises two major parts, where the first part deals with the history behind Jacob Dubbe and Jacobsberg, and contains an illustration of the assessor?s life and of the garden?s original structure and shape.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of bilateral repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on language ability in eight participants with aphasia. All participants underwent two periods of treatment and five periods of evaluation. During one treatment period high frequency stimulation was given to the left hemisphere and low frequency stimulation to the right and in one other period placebo stimulation was given. Boston Naming Test and Token Test were used to assess the effects of treatment on naming ability and language comprehension. Results showed that no significant effects were found on group level.

Ambitionen med denna uppsats är att försöka identifiera huruvidamanövertänkandet är tillämpbart i modern krishantering. Frågans aktualitet harökat i takt med Sveriges ökade internationella ambition. Frågan aktualiserasytterligare med det faktum att den svenska Militär Strategiska Doktrinen från 2002anger;?För att nå största möjliga effekt, givet våra resurser och värderingar, skallmanövertänkandet utgöra grunden för försvarsmaktens agerande i alla militäraoperationer, men också tillämpas flexibelt av varje individ i varje situation?För att försöka utreda i vilken omfattning ovanstående inriktning är relevant hartvå stycken fallstudier genomförts. Ur dessa två fallstudier har jag försökt attidentifiera de faktiska förutsättningarna för att agera enligt manöverteorin.

 Detta är endast en del av ett stort arbete, på grund av omständigheterna (till exempel möjligheten att publicera en power point) har vi varit tvungna att begränsa vår publikation till lärarhandledningen. Det finns också en elevutgåva, power point-presentation samt ett prov som inte publiceras. För att ta del av dessa krävs möjlighet att komma åt Biologi C för lärares kurswebb Vt-2008 på Södertörns högskolas intranät. .

The purpose of this Masters thesis is to investigate and describe the literary life of Madame de Staël, during the period of the French Revolution and the time shortly after. My intention is to do research on her impact and influence. I also want to examine her effect on Swedish literary society, with special references to Swedish authors. The method used is a qualitative one, where I have studied nonfiction and fiction connected with the field, for example Mme de Staëls own writings, which I make use of to illustrate the phenomena. During this period the society was dominated by patriarchical values and patterns of life.

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the debate in library journals and in official reports on the subject of library education in Sweden. We focus on two periods: the period just before the year 1972 ? when the library education was transformed into being occupationally-oriented and the period just before the year 1993, when the library education was transformed into being ?academised?. This Master?s thesis shows that the debate and the arguments among initiated people in the library world have had some impact on how the library education was transformed later on.

Uppsatsens syfte är att bidra med förståelse av reflektionsutrymme i samband med högskoleundervisning i hästhantering. Studien avgränsas till kurser på Hippologprogrammet, vid Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet, där hästen hanteras från marken. Det är en fallstudie baserad på kvalitativa intervjuer med kursledare. Studien visar att ett ramverk för "rätta reflektioner" kan påverka kursledare att ge möjlighet till reflektion inom en modern diskurs..

Rules on parental leave have over the years been the subject of several gender debates. The big question has particularly been whether a further individualization of the days should be established. Sweden is a relatively equal country but differences still exist between men and women in the labor market, such as differences in wages. A fact that is considered encouraging for this is the uneven distribution of parental leave between men and women. It has now been nearly 40 years since the introduction of the first parental insurance but we have still not achieved gender equality in working life which was the main purpose.The main purpose of this essay is to study the motives for the proposal of individualized parental leave, and in addition examine how this change of rules could impact on gender equality in the work place.

My master?s thesis is a study of acquisition of photographies during 1958-2008. The questions I proceed from is what patterns lies behind the Royal library's acquisition of photography and how the process of acquisition looks like. The theoretical base which I lean on consists partly of a problematization of the process of cultural heritage and partly of organizational theory. The problematization of the process of cultural heritage is my foundation of this essay.

Latvia has been an independent state twice, the first time during the years 1918-1940 and the second time from the year 1991 and ahead. During these two periods Latvia has been a destination for tourists. The aim of this study is to describe how Latvia as a destination has developed during the years of independence. One further aim is to compare what Latvia?s tourism industry looked like during the same periods to descry similarities and differences.

Denna studie beskriver en ung flickas utveckling i Agnes von Krusenstjernas roman "Fattigadel del 1" (1935) samt Moa Martinsons roman "Mor gifter sig" (1936) med särskilt beaktande av den sociologiska och psykoanalytiska teorin och dess betydelse för den uppväxande flickans identifikationsprocess och hur den kommer till uttryck i respektive verk. I denna del av arbetet har jag tagit hjälp av sociologen och psykoanalytikern Nancy Chodorows teorier vilka utgår från den gren av den feministiska psykoanalytiska teorin vilken benämns objektrelationsteorin. Studien visar att relationen mellan mor och dotter är fundamental för en flickas utveckling till kvinna. Den är navet kring vilket identifikationsprocessen utvecklas och om det finns en konflikt i relationen söker den uppväxande flickan stöd hos andra förebilder i sin omgivning eftersom den viktigta kontakten med modern saknas. Det ser vi tydliga exempel på i både "Fattigadel del 1" där Viveka von Lagercrona i första hand tyr sig till sin far för bekräftelse och ömhet och även till sin lärarinna där hon finner en ny förebild.

For nearly twenty years people have been talking about Product models, but given that the building industry is so conservative, it is hard to implement new working methods. Product models are these days known as Building Information Modeling, BIM. People often say they work with BIM but they often forget the most important part, the information. A 3D model should be linked with characteristics and information. Information that can be invaluable for the facility manager.We have a vision that in the best of worlds the facility manager would be able to "walk" into the model and see what kind of installations are inside the wall or in the roof.

In the past decades the level of education of the Swedish population has steadily risen. This paper asks questions about the level of education level among members of the Swedish parliament, Riksdagen. The answers are found by studying biographic data over members of parliament between 1971 and 2006. In 1971 a new riksdag, enkammarriksdagen which consists of one ?House?, was founded.
