Introduction: The concept of CSR was first coined in the 1950?s and refers to corporate vol-untary work to contribute to a sustainable society. In Sweden, companies within the finance sector are among the worst when it comes to implementing CSR in their daily work. The debate on whether companies should engage in CSR activities or not, is extremely relevant nowadays. Right now we are facing a time where the demand on companies to take their social responsi-bility becomes more intensified.

Commonly held dietary guidelines discourage full-fat dairy consumption due its to high levels of saturated fatty acids, which are believed to aversely influence cardiovascular disease risk. Cardiovascular diseases cause more than one third of deaths in the developed world. With dairy often providing a large part of energy and nutrients in Western diets, research into its effects on human health is warranted. Several recent studies have suggested a protective role of dairy in the development of cardiometabolic disease. However, many of these have used imprecise methods of dietary assessment, based on questionnaires or interviews. Biomarkers are emerging as a means of evaluating diet in a more objective way. Currently used dairy fat biomarkers are minor fatty acid constituents of dairy that preferably are unique to dairy and not influenced by endogenous metabolism.

The horse is a homeothermic animal and to keep a constant body temperature in winter season is important. Acclimatisation is to provide means for a good thermal insulation consisting of skin, hair, and an outer air layer. The skin covers the horses body and it is composed of three main layers where the top layer of the epidermis consists of dead keratinized cells that are constantly being sheed. The dermis is composed of collagen connective tissue that give the skin its strength. The bottom layer with subcutaneous fat provides a thermal insulation and can be used as an energy reserve in cold weather.

Fetma och övervikt är ett hälsoproblem som drabbar mer än var tionde person och antalet individer med BMI >30 ökar ständigt. Som en följd av detta kommer allt fler patienter som genomgår anestesi att ha ett högt BMI. Förändringar i respiration, luftvägsanatomi och ett flertal andra fysiologiska förändringar i kroppen gör generell anestesi för patienter med fetma till en anestesiologisk utmaning. Syftet var att beskriva vilka omvårdnadsåtgärder anestesisjuksköterskan kan använda för att bibehålla god ventilation hos feta patienter vid generell anestesi. Studien genomfördes som en litteraturstudie där 12 vetenskapliga artiklar analyserades.

In the beginning of the 19th century, Swedish was the only official language of Finland, and thus the dominating language in administration and higher education. However, during the latter part of the century, efforts were made to develop Finnish into a language which could be used in every part of society. In 1881, the medical society Suomalainen Lääkäriseura Duodecim was founded with the development of a medical terminology in Finnish as one of its main purposes. In 1885, a medical paper, Duodecim, and a medical dictionary were published. The aim of this study is to illuminate the vocabulary of the dictionary.

It's an everyday experience shared by many that nature can be of help in relieving pain, reducing stress, support mental recovery etc. In the last three decades or so this experience has also found support in a large number of scientific investigations. Among other things the experience of nature has been shown to reduce stress and pain in patients and to boost concentration and reduce impulsive behavior in children. Most of this research however has mainly been concerned with the visual modality. In this thesis the aim has been to focus on the auditory modality in this context by trying to reveal some effects on people from the exposure of nature sounds played indoors in three different environments: a grammar school class room, a kindergarten play room and a post-surgery wake up room at an intensive care unit.

The thick shelled river mussel (Unio crassus) has a fragmented distribution in southern Sweden. It is a threatened and protected species. In both the Swedish red list and the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species Unio crassus is classified as Endangered (EN). Causes for this classification are for instance differentiated bottom substrate and deterioration in water quality. In this study, habitat preferences of Unio crassus were investigated to assist in future restoration work.

Indikationen till att vårdas på en intensivvårdsavdelning (IVA) är i praktiken att patienten bör övervakas på grund akut svikt i vitala organ, som t.ex. i cirkulation eller respiration mm. Att vara intuberad innebär att stämbanden är bortkopplade vilket i sin tur leder till svårigheter för patienten att kommunicera.Syftet med studien är att undersöka patientens upplevelse av att vårdas i ventilator på en intensivvårdsavdelning. Kvalitativ litteraturstudie på upp till 10 år gamla artiklar har analyserats enligt Graneheim och Lundmans metod. I resultatet har funnits att minnen från vårdtiden har emotionella inslag relaterat till endotrachealtuben, men också till en tidsperiod präglat av minnesluckor som blir till en upplevelse av brist på kontroll.

The aim of this review is to evaluate the best way to transport the horse. When it comes to transporting horses there are a number of different types of trailers and trucks that you can choose from today. The most common type of trailer is designed for two horses and the horses are transported facing the direction of travel. Studies has been performed to determine if that is the most advantageous direction for the horse to travel in, in terms of balance and levels of stress. Stress is a widely discussed subject and the definition is not fully developed.

Människan tvingas idag ta ställning inför viktiga miljöfrågor mycket p.g.a. vår användning av fossila bränsle. Detta ställer krav på kunskapsmässiga verktyg för att tackla problematiken. Det är därför intressant att studera elevers förståelse kring ekologiska processer. Arbetet syftar till att undersöka 18-åringars förståelse om villkor för växande och nedbrytning i naturen samt hur elever använder sig av ett integrerat kretsloppstänkande där ekologiska processer beaktas och relateras till varandra.

Hard-to-heal ulcers are resource intensive due to the fact that they are difficult to treat and especially vulnerable to bacterial invasion. The bacterial culture contaminating these wounds often consist of several different bacterial organisms that originate from endogenous sources. Necrotic material in ischemic ulcers provide nutrition which support bacterial reproduction, increasing the risk of infection. Determining causative pathogen in infected ulcers proves to be difficult when culturing swab samples, however Staphylococcus aureus and hemolytic streptococci generally act as primary pathogens.    The aim of the study was to investigate if the detection rate increased for S. aureus and hemolytic streptococci when culturing swab samples from ulcers on Columbia CNA; a media selective for gram-positive bacteria.

ABSTRACTBackground: Obesity and overweight are health issues that more than every tenth person around the world suffers from and the number of individuals with BMI >30 is every growing. As a result, more patients that are subjects to anesthesia will have an increased BMI. Changes in respiration, airway anatomy, altered drug metabolism and multiple physiological changes in the body makes general anesthesia, of the patient with obesity, an anesthesiological challenge.Purpose: The aim of this study is to identify the specific anesthesiological nursing care of the patient with a BMI >30, undergoing general anesthesia.Method: A research plan is created and to test its credibility, a pilotstudy of 15 surveys in two surgical departments will be conducted. This study has a qualitative inductive design and the data collected through semistructured questionnaires. The result was analyzed using qualitative content analysis.Result: The result showed a clear focus on three main areas; airway management, pharmaceuticals and positioning of the patient.

The presence of cystic ovarian follicles represents an important ovarian dysfunction and is a major cause of reproductive failure in dairy cattle. A cystic ovarian follicle is a persistent follicular-like structure on one or both of the ovaries. It is at least 2,5cm in diameter and it has to persist for at least ten days while a corpus luteum is missing. There are two kinds of cystic ovarian follicles, those who have a progesterone production and those who have not. A clear definition for this condition is lacking, probably because the heterogeneity of the clinical signs and the complexity of the disorder.

Syrefattiga förhållanden från översvämningar uppstår tillfälligt i hårdgjorda stadsmiljöer och hotar trädens tillväxt och överlevnad. Under perioder av syrefattiga förhållanden uppstår skador på trädets rotsystem och viktiga biologiska processer som fotosyntes och respiration hämmas. Träd som växer naturligt i flodslätter lever under liknande förhållanden med periodiska översvämningar och stundtals syrefattiga miljöer. Genom att utveckla morfologiska och fysiologiska strategier kan översvämningstoleranta trädarter i flodslätter överleva de syrefattiga förhållandena. Betydande strategier inkluderar aerenchyma vävnader, adventiva rötter, förstorade lenticeller eller klyvöppningar och biokemiska mekanismer.

Patienter som läggs in på intensivvårdsavdelningar blir ofta sängliggande en längre period. Invasivt ventilatorbehandlade patienter blir inte alltid mobiliserade som de borde. Immobiliseringen hos patienterna har en rad negativa effekter på kroppen, men att låta mobiliseringen bli en prioriterad åtgärd kan vara utmanande för intensivvårdssjuksköterskan och teamet kring patienten. Syftet med denna studie är att beskriva effekter av tidig mobilisering för invasivt ventilatorbehandlade intensivvårdspatienter. Metoden som valts för att genomföra studien är litteraturstudie.
