The upstream spawning migration of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) at the confluence area between the power-station outlet and the bypass-channel in river Umeälven (flow 430 m3s-1) was compared in 2004 and 2005, two years with different experimental flow-regimes. In 2004 the water flow in the bypass-channel was altered during the day with increased flows during the nights while the water flow in 2005 mainly was altered between the weekdays and weekends. Salmon showed altered migratory behaviour in this confluence area, assessed with telemetry (n=116) and echo-sounding, with up- or downstream responses depending on flow-changes in both the bypass and the power station outlet. Increased turbine flow through the power-station generally attracted salmon into the tunnel outlet area while increased spill-flows facilitated salmon to enter the bypass. Echo-sounding in the confluence area showed an increased swimming activity up- and downstream due to time in the day and flow-rates through the tunnel outlet. No changes in activity could be detected due to increasing or decreasing flow through the hydro-power facility.

The network with its virtual business structure challenge the established vertical business structure. Part of the network theory that has developed focuses on relationships that forms B2Bnetworks. One way to create a B2B-network is for independent businesses to form a organization promoting co-operation. For co-operation to be successful it requires well thought-out actions, but a lack of how these actions are implemented have been noticed. This study explores how encouragement of co-operation can be done practically.

This thesis paper is based on Ian Manners Normative Power Europe-theory with a focus on EU?s military operation in Somalia. By examining documents from EU institutions in the form of reports concerning EU NAVFOR ? Operation ATALANTA ? EUTM Somalia ? EUCAP NESTOR. This study shows that the Normative Power Europe-theory can get expressed and that the EU continues its normative statements in Somalia. This result is an interesting contribution to the theory of Normative Power Europe witch have gotten a lot of critic about how a military operation should effect and diminish the theory..

The purpose of this report was to increase knowledge regarding the co-operation between social services from the perspective of employees at a school. The focus was on the question: ?In the schools view, what is the relevance of co-operating with social services?? The problem was divided into three categories; the value of the co-operation, the schools discourse on co-operation and the balance of power in the co-operation. The scientific topic was addressed using a qualitative survey method at a school. Four people were interview; the principal, the welfare officer, and two teachers.

The municipality of Olofström is intensifying the co-operation with Sölvesborg and Karlshamn, the two other municipalities in the west of Blekinge. They co-operate in two local federations and for the moment negotiations are going on about a third local federation in continuation school, but the municipalities do not agree. The aim of this thesis is to examine why Olofström co-operate with Sölvesborg and Karlshamn, if there are any problems and where the limit of this co-operation is. The method in the thesis is qualitative interviews with local politicians and officials and an actor-structure-perspective is used. The result shows that Olofström is a municipality where the population is decreasing, and it has lost state subsidy during the last decade.

Bakgrund: Hjärtats slag har länge förknippats med skillnaden mellan liv och död. År 2010 genomfördes 6 358 hjärtkirurgiska ingrepp i Sverige. De vanligaste ingreppen är koronar bypass-operation, klaffoperation och operation på missbildningar på hjärtat. De viktigaste delarna i pre- och postoperativ omvårdnad är helhetsbedömning av patienten, ge information, ge råd om nödvändiga livsstilsförändringar och att finnas som stöd för patienten. Syfte: Att beskriva patienters erfarenheter före och efter hjärtkirurgi.

Bakgrund: Fetma och övervikt ökar hos världens befolkning och är idag ett globalt hälsoproblem. Det finns ingen skillnad för prevalensen av fetma mellan de båda könen i Sverige, men globalt sett ses en skillnad. Fetma kan leda till följdsjukdomar, vilka kan ha en negativ fysisk och psykisk påverkan på individens hälsorelaterade livskvalitet. En allt vanligare behandlingsmetod av fetma är viktminskningskirurgi. Att välja fetmakirurgi som behandlingsmetod är idag vanligare för kvinnor än för män.

Gastric and intestinal disorders are common and costly human health problems worldwide. Helicobacter pylori are a gram-negative, pathogen bacteria and the most common cause of duodenal and gastric ulcer in the stomach the intestinal mucosa. Prolonged infection and colonization can lead to chronic gastritis and stomach cancer. H. pylori are present in the gastric and intestinal mucosa of half of the world population and a relation between infection and low socioeconomic status has been shown.

This study revolves around the NATO-led Operation Unified Protector in Libya 2011. The military campaign was executed under a UN mandate to protect the Libyan civilian population. Despite the mandate civilians died because of NATO bombings. The purpose of this study is to identify inadequate measures in avoiding civilian casualties during the operation and to continue to work towards minimizing civilian casualties caused by military organizations in international interventions.Early in the operation, NATO?s objective altered from protecting the civilians to over­throwing the Libyan regime. At the same time NATO changed its military targeting.

AbstractMatchmaking on an organisational level? about co-operation between municipal introduction-units and voluntary organisationsEssay in Political Science D, by Rebecka Johansson, spring 2006The aim of this study is to examine co-operation between municipal introduction-units, which work to integrate newly arrived immigrants and refuges, and voluntary organisations in Sweden. The essay is a comparative case study which examines three local authorities and the main questions are;- Do voluntary organisations constitute a functioning co-operation partner to the municipal introduction-units? Are there conditions for future co-operation?The answer to the questions is that there are no, or rarely any, co-operation between voluntary organisations and municipal introduction-units. It is difficult to judge whether there are conditions for future co-operation.

Introduktion/Bakgrund: Övervikt och fetma är kraftigt växande problem världen över och inverkar negativt på individers fysiska, psykiska och sociala livskvalitet. En metod för att behandla fetma är viktminskningskirurgi. Syfte: Syftet med litteraturöversikten var att belysa individers livskvalitet efter genomförd viktminskningskirurgi, för att skapa förståelse för individernas omvårdnadsbehov. Metod: En litteraturöversikt genomfördes för att studera problemområdet. Datainsamling utfördes genom sökning i databaserna CINAHL, PsycInfo och PubMed.

The reason for this study is to settle the balance between technology and preponderance in war. Each theory claims its own superiority to be decisive when it comes to achieving military victories, but this study will show what actually happens when the two theories are analyzed together in the same conflict. To prove the conclusions, a case-study on Operation Gazelle is used. The study will describe the theories, what a military victory is and which party in the conflict came out victorious after this specific operation. Both sides? forces will be shown and compared.

Det största folkhälsoproblemet bland kvinnor är hjärt-kärlsjukdom. Kvinnor är underrepresenterade bland patienter som får behandling i form av CABG-operation . CABG-operation är ett stort kirurgiskt ingrepp som innebär påfrestningar och en stor förändring i livet. Syftet med litteraturstudien var att belysa kvinnors upplevelse av livskvalitet efter CABG-operation. Studien genomfördes som en systematisk litteraturstudie, en metod för att sammanställa alla vetenskapliga arbeten inom ett specifikt område.
