Geriatric dogs are prone to several diseases and in this text the author has decided to focus on three of the most common: Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome (CDS), cancer and osteoarthritis (AO). All of these illnesses are incurable in dogs, but it is important to remember that they are still treatable.

Denna studie beskriver sju gymnasielärares uppfattningar om stöd och samtal i förhållande till sina kolleger och arbetsledning.  Den vetenskapliga metod som använts för undersökningen är kvalitativ och inspirerad av fenomenografin. I resultatet har sex övergripande kategorier vad gäller lärarnas upplevelser av fenomenen analyserats fram. De talar om lösningar av problem, samarbetet, tidsaspekten, inflytande och delaktighet, samtalens struktur och lärarrollen. Lärarna i undersökningen var överlag nöjda med tiden de fick för samtal med kolleger och ledning samt upplevde att stöd fanns att få vid behov. Då problem uppstod i arbetet kunde de få hjälp av kollegerna, skolledningen eller av skolans resurspersonal.

Roseroot (R. rosea L.) has gained more attention the last years, mainly because of its phy-topharmacologic properties. Even though many reports in roseroot have been published, only a few articles are dealt with the genetic diversity. The Nordic Genetic Resource Center has collected Roseroot material from Sweden, Greenland and Faroe Islands under different expeditions. The samples were analysed to study the genetic diversity study.

Innan årsskiftet 2011-2012 blev Sveriges första lager som är miljöcertifierat enligt LEED färdigställt. LEED står för Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design och är en miljöcertifiering som har funnits sedan år 2000. LEED finns i fyra olika nivåer - certified, silver, gold och platinum. Vilken nivå som projektet når baseras på ett poängsystem som bedömer byggnaden i sju kategorier och projektet som avser vår fallstudie är certifierad i nivå gold. LEED växer ständigt och är idag en internationellt väletablerad miljöcertifiering.

En växande tjänstesektor som får allt större betydelse och en ökad konkurrens om kunderna är den finansiella tjänstemarknaden. Denna förändring på den finansiella tjänstemarknaden har lett till ett skifte i synen på marknadsföring. Marknadsföring av den fysiska produkten har alltmer ersatts av ett fokus på värdeskapande och på att utveckla långsiktiga relationer. Detta innebär till exempel att tjänsteföretag idag i större utsträckning samarbetar med sina kunder i skapandet av den tjänst som levereras, vilket innebär att en ökad vikt läggs på kännedom om kundens behov för att säkerställa korrekt utformning och leverans. Denna studie ämnar beskriva kunders uppfattningar om ett kundbonussystem och den genomförs på uppdrag av Länsförsäkringar Bergslagens Lantbruksavdelning. Fokus ligger på företagets kundbonussystem ?Guldkund? med avsikten att utreda skillnader i synen på detta mellan de två kundgrupperna Guldkunder och Silver-/Bronskunder.

Student recruitment is a subject that seems to be forgotten in the theory of event communication. Yet the area has some specific reoccurring features. Our purpose was to examine these specific features and how to work with these in the best way, and also see how to get the most out of the event communication to the young at event and fairs. Special features we have looked at are the student ambassadors ands their impact, the meaning of a give-away and also if there are any essential factors to get in contact with the young at fairs and events, and if new technology had an important role to play in the area.Our research has been inductive, and therefore, we have created our own theory and reflected it to the larger topic of event communication and its theories. Our research method has been triangular, both quantitative and qualitative; interviews with those who work with student recruitment, and surveys to young people in upper secondary school.Our study showed the importance of student ambassadors and their specific task to be nice, friendly and outgoing.

 My field is Korpus and in this project I am investigating what role that plays for me as an artist connected to craft. To really get close to, and understand Korpus I have deconstructed it to find clues to why the silversmithing field looks like it does and how we got here. I believe Korpus has not yet come out of the closet for what it really can be. That it carries a great heritage of traditions and preconceptions that it would do well to shake off a little bit of. Can Korpus as an art field really survive in Sweden, where the Church has no power and silverware is no longer a need to demonstrate ones economic prosperity at an important dinner party? To help myself get closer to these objects I have given my own definition of Korpus.

Intern kommunikation är ett av verktygen för att förmedla strategier inom organisationer och företag. Att finna ett gemensamt språk inom organisationen kan underlätta förståelsen för företagets visioner och mål. Vårt syfte med undersökningen är att öka kunskap och förståelse samt skapa insikt kring ledningsarbete med intern kommunikation särskilt i samband med en expansiv fas. Vårt mål är att finna beskrivningar för hur ett företag i en expansiv fas kan arbeta med intern kommunikation. Vi har utfört en fallstudie av ett företag inom vård- och omsorgssektorn.

Syfte Syftet med arbetet var att beskriva och analysera ett barn med språkstörning utifrån de olika verksamheter barnet ingått i. Vi valde att lägga tyngdpunkten på nuvarande och framtida skolsituation. Metod Vi utformade arbetet som en fallbeskrivning. Undersökningen utgjordes dels av intervjuer, varav djupintervjun med barnets mamma låg till grund för själva arbetet, och dels av granskning av befintlig dokumentation. Vi genomförde totalt åtta intervjuer samt granskade dokumentation från det att barnet var 18 månader och framåt.

The purpose of this work is to raise ideas and interest for land that is very much forgotten,unused and neglected in terms of maintenance and usability. Railroads are often seen as adirty and loud intrusion in the landscape and therefore cities turn their backs on them. Theland around railroads is not considered useful despite its often central location and scrublandis common in these areas.The starting point of this work is the restrictions and possibilities linked to the land withinthe security distance 30 meters from the railroad center. Within this security distance thereare numerous limitations and regulations due to the nature of railroad use. These limitationsare counted for in the initial chapter and lay the foundation for the rest of the work.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the interrogation transcripts of interviews with girls between the age of 11 and 16 who are alleged victims of sexual crimes. The examination is done from a gender perspective, by comparing six interrogations by male interrogators and eight interrogations by female interrogators. The study has used linguistic indicators relating to the interrogation methodological guidelines, in order to highlight how the interrogators give girls the opportunity and space to share their experience of the alleged sexual offense. Text material is categorized based on themes and analyzed in detail to find any gender-specific patterns of hearing leaders and if the girls are given space and opportunity for a free storytelling. The results show that in several themes, differences between the male and the female interrogators can be discerned.
