The purpose of this study was to examine gender depiction in picture books in preschools. Our experience is that many picture books contain old-fashioned gender stereotypes. During the analysing process, we used the following theories: Yvonne Hirdman?s theory about the stereotypic gender contract and Lev Vygotskij?s theory about experiences increasing our ability to fantasize. We read through 154 picture books in two preschools and categorized them into two categories: normative and non-normative books.

No summary of feeding recommendations for foals exists today, which is why this subject was chosen for a literature study. The aim of this study was to describe nutrient requirements of healthy full term foals and how the feeding should be designed to raise foals if they lose their mother. Mare milk composition changes during lactation to meet the requirements of the suckling foal. Foals are born with enzymes in their small intestine and the concentrations of these follow the consumption patterns of the foal. Microbes colonizes the gut as the foal becomes older and these changes cause foal diarrhea.

The purpose of this study was to examine how some young mothers, who previously have been in foster care or residential care, describe the way motherhood has affected their lives and identities. Narrative interviews were conducted with three teenage mothers and one mother aged 23. As tools for analyzing the narratives, theories about narrative psychology and how people present themselves through story-telling and language were used. The results of the study show that becoming a mother was life-changing in a positive way, according to the young mothers. They described how they, since becoming mothers, had become more mature and now lived less risk-full lives.

I ett litet företag finns en risk att ledningen fokuserar så mycket på kärnverksamheten att övriga administrativa verksamheter åsidosätts. Exempelvis finns det risk att företaget inte har full kontroll på sina lager.Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att beskriva och analysera värderingen och styrningen av lagret hos ett litet handelsföretag med butik och i förekommande fall ge förbättringsförslag.Vi har dels studerat lagar och rekommendationer avseende hantering av lager samt litteratur inom området lagerstyrning i handelsföretag. Dessutom har vi intervjuat företrädare för ett typiskt litet handelsföretag.Det undersökta företaget uppfyller gällande lagar och rekommendationer, men inte så mycket mer. Vidare använder sig företaget mestadels av känsla och erfarenhet i sin lagerstyrning. Förtaget använder alltså inte formella analyser och metoder i någon större utsträckning, om ens någon.

Bakgrund: F?r?ldrars delaktighet i v?rden av sitt sv?rt sjuka barn ?r en h?rnsten inom familjecentrerad v?rd. Tidigare forskning visar att f?r?ldrar ?nskar vara delaktiga, men upplever att m?jligheten ofta begr?nsas av organisatoriska faktorer och barri?rer skapade av sjuksk?terskor inom intensivv?rden. Syfte: Att unders?ka sjuksk?terskors upplevelser av f?r?ldrars delaktighet i v?rden av deras sv?rt sjuka barn p? en intensivv?rdsavdelning.

Jag har i denna uppsats underso?kt hur ansta?llda inom Svenska kyrkans gudsbilder sta?r i fo?rha?llande till de gudsbilder som ga?r att utla?sa i Svenska kyrkans beka?nnelseskrifter samt i Kyrkoordningen fo?r Svenska kyrkan. Detta har jag gjort genom kvalitativa intervjuer med en intervjumetod baserad pa? och inspirerad av Jan Trost. Fo?r att studien skulle falla inom ramarna fo?r uppsatsens omfa?ng gjorde jag ett urval ur Svenska kyrkans beka?nnelseskrifter som jag baserade pa? vilken relevans skriften har fo?r ansta?llda och medlemmar inom organisationen.

I have done a case-study about building a new stable for slaughter pigs at a farm close to Kalmar. The farm is able to supply the breeding with cereals and it has enough area to spread the manure on. The most important factors to gain profit, is the cost for building the stable, the price of the feeding-stuff and the growth of the pigs. The discount from the slaughter-house was less important than I thought from the beginning, and it?s a factor that is hard to influence. With the new production of slaughter-pig and cattle that already exist on the farm, the farm will get a well-functioned rotation of crops with lye and autumn rape as interruption-crop.

This diploma work has been conducted for the consulting company Ramböll inUppsala, Sweden with the purpose to perform a study with the calculation programFEM Design 9.0 made by Strusoft. The aim has been to find out if it is possible to gainadvantage by utilizing more advanced 3D software for design calculations, instead ofthe traditional methods currently used in construction works.The method of approach has been to model an existing warehouse building with theprogram FEM Design, and then compare the results with those attained with FrameAnalysis and hand calculations. These results are then analyzed. An evaluation is maderegarding to what benefits can be achieved using a more advanced 3D-model.The results of the study show that the differences between the methods are not ofany significance with regard to the design of the steel frame. However in morecomplex materials such as reinforced concrete, the differences become more notable.The conclusions drawn by the authors of this study into FEM Design are that theeducation requirements of the program are higher than for simpler programs, whosepurpose are solving predetermined problems.

Detta examensarbete var ett projekt som utfördes på uppdrag av Redskaparna AB. Syftet med projektet var att vidareutveckla och förbättra ett befintligt prototypredskap avsett för betongblandning. Problemen som uppstod med den befintliga prototypen var bl.a. att kritiska driftstopp inträffade p.g.a. fastkilning inuti skopan och delar på redskapet tog skada eller gick sönder vilket ledde till att redskapet blev obrukbart och reparation måste utföras.
