Package design constitutes an important marketing and differentiation tool in an increasingly competitive food market, particularly in the category of daily consumer goods where the turnover rate is high and the purchases are based on self-service (Hine, 1997; Spethmann, 1994; Underwood, 1999). Media fragmentation undermines the traditional marketing tools and the demands for packaging are bigger than ever. A package must not only sell a product, but also tell, through design, how the product is used and express the values that the trademark owner wishes to convey to the end customer (Underwood, 1998). The understanding of the role of packaging as a marketing tool has increased, but the initiators inside the packaging industry in Sweden still think that the Swedish packaging industry is developing slowly. They often describe Swedish packages as homogeneous and unimaginative.

Det kan föreligga en risk idag att sjuksköterskor inte hinner tillgodose patienternas behov som tidigare eftersom att vårdtiderna är kortare och att arbetsbelastningen inte har blivit mindre. Patientens preoperativa skede början när han/hon känner att något inte står rätt till med hans/hennes kropp. Det är ett stressfyllt moment att genomgå en operation både fysiskt och psykiskt. Många patienter kan uppleva ångest, otrygghet och maktlöshet eftersom man inte har någon kontroll över sin kropp under operationen. Vård är ett samspel mellan patient och vårdare.

Bakgrund:Awareness definieras som när en patient i generell anestesi i efterhand kan minnas händelser eller ha förnimmelser från en operation då han eller hon borde varit medvetslös. Det är en allvarlig anestesiologisk komplikation som kan leda till posttraumatiskt stressyndrom. Av de patienter som genomgår kirurgiska ingrepp i generell anestesi drabbas cirka 0,1 - 0,2 %. Den vanligaste orsaken till awareness är ytlig anestesi, vilket hos särskilda riskpatienter ibland kan vara svårt att förebygga med endast traditionell övervakning. Det finns därför ytterligare metoder att tillgå.

To complete an overweight treatment program is associated with better weight loss. Previous studies have in principle focused on drop-out from the entire program, not individual parts of a program. Factors previously shown to influence the patients´ weight loss results are: frequency of individual meetings with a professional, the lack of social support from family or friends, the lack of motivation and in a few studies vacations. In several studies the drop-out patients have stated that their reasons for drop-out were dissatisfaction with the staff and the program design. Drop-out has also been shown to be connected with difficulties in adherence to the diet.

Bakgrund: Subacromialt impingement syndrom (SAIS) är den vanligaste orsaken till skuldersmärta. Syndromet karaktäriseras av att smärta kan reproduceras genom rörelser som minskar utrymmet mellan acromion och humerus. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att kartlägga för vilka sjukgymnastiska behandlingsmetoder vid SAIS som evidensen är prövad, samt att undersöka vilken evidens som fanns för behandlingsmetodernas effekt. Metod: En litteraturöversikt genomfördes med artikelsökning i databaserna Pubmed, Cinahl, Amed och PEDro. PEDro-scale och SBU:s evidensgradering användes för att bedöma artiklarna.

This report describes the results of the project "Concept development of jet engine inspection plugs" carried out in the spring of 2008. The work was done at the department of product definition at the company Volvo Aero in Trollhättan. The objective of the work was to develop concepts for a "Volvo-unique" inspection plug. The work is part of Volvo Aero's focus on proprietary (self-developed) technologies. Inspection plugs can be found on virtually all aircraft engines and gas turbines.

Det kan vara svårt att göra korrekta bedömningar i konflikter likt Afghanistan idag. Nato har definerat insatsen i Afghanistan som en Counter-insurgency (COIN)-operation. Osäkerhetsfaktorerna är många och där skiftningar i framgångarna varierar kraftigt över tiden. Det gör också att i många fall måste det finnas parallella processer för det säkerhetspolitiska arbetet. Komplexiteten med detta har gjort att det har utvecklats multifunktionella strategier.

This thesis aims to show the positive effects of marketing by studying whether the regulation on direct marketing to consumers of prescription drugs today prevents to consumers accurate information and better health, and how consumers relate to the possible legalization of increased marketing through controlled and information audited webpages. Methods used in this research are qualitative method, quantitative method, documents and websites studies. The thesis fulfills the purpose as it shows the potential positive effects of an expanded marketing through pre-approved websites. It also shows a demand from the consumers' side and a need for increased awareness for more empowerment over their own health.

The aim of this project is to find a concept solution for a wireless transmitting system, installed to transmit data from a hydrophone of the ocean floor down by a wave power generator to the office on shore. The project is a literature review in which previous observations and tests are analyzed and put together to find a solution. The result was a comprehensive solution that includes an acoustic modem to transfer captured information from the bottom to the surface, wirelessly through the water. The information is then sent fron the surface on radio waves through the GSM network to the office on land. Between under and over water there are components to convert information between acoustic waves and radio waves, but also various types of modulation, such as amplitude and frequency modulation is required..

This study has the purpose of looking at the current and future position of record labels from a context involving the technological developments, while the opportunities for the artists are changing. As the actors inside them music industry find themselves in an ever changing climate where traditional supply chains are threatened by new technology, the record labels need to change the way they work in order to maintain their existence in the music industry. The study has been conducted by interviewing a number of people involved in the music industry, by using a qualitative method approach. The conclusion of the study shows that the traditional way of doing business by treating music as a product that makes revenue is gone. Instead the labels have to take on new roles formerly run by third parties in order to survive and be profitable, especially since artists can now in control of activities that used to be controlled by the record label..

Companies constantly strive for the perfect order which enables them to satisfy and retain their customers. This is a difficult process that can be facilitated by using different picking technologies. In this study, a research of the picking technologies Pick-to-Light and Pick-to-Voice have been made to investigate when each technology is suited.In order to collect relevant information and data to be able to answer the question formulation, a qualitative study with interviews have been made. The purpose of this essay was to investigate Pick-to-Light and Pick-to-Voice to see when each technology is best suited and to see what the differences between the technologies are. With our essay we wanted to help manufacturing companies to make the right decisions when implementing a picking technology.The results showed that those picking technologies give companies a higher picking quality and an increased work efficiency since the order picking is faster to perform, and that picking errors are reduced.

The aim of this study was to investigate the social behaviour and time budget of breedingbulls kept at VikingGenetics, Falkenberg in Sweden when the staff was off duty. It was ofinterest to see if there was any difference between bulls housed in group pens and bullshoused in individual pens. It was also of interest to investigate if there was any differencein the behaviour between the dairy breeds Swedish Red (SR) and Swedish Holstein (SH).Sixteen bulls were used in this study. Eight bulls kept in individual pens and eight bullskept in group pens were used. The individually housed bulls had a social gate with widerbars where the bulls could but their head and neck through to have social contact with thebulls in its neighbouring pens.

Barns rädslor och oro i möten med sjukvård Författare: Christian Römberg & Pontus Älvehag Sammanfattning Bakgrund: Enligt barnkonventionen räknas varje människa tills dagen de fyllt 18 år som barn. Omkring 200 000 barn söker varje år vård på akutmottagningar i Sverige och cirka 95 000 barn per år är i behov av vård på sjukhus. I mötet sjukvården upplever de flesta barn rädsla och oro för sjukvårdsmiljön, sjuksköterskans mediciniska språk och beteende vilket kan förstärka smärtupplevelsen vid undersökning och behandling. En uppkommen sjukvårdsrädsla kan försvåra framtida sjukvårdskontakter och skapa otrygghet hos barn. Sjuksköterskans uppgift är att ge barnet en god omvårdnad och möjliggöra delaktighet för barnet och närstående för att dämpa rädsla och oro, något som regleras genom barnkonventionen och hälso- och sjukvårdslagen. Syfte: Att belysa vad som ger upphov till rädslor och oro hos barn i möten med sjukvården som patient. Metod: En litteraturöversikt med kvalitativ ansats.
