The purpose of this study was to compare less experienced veterinarians? subjective assessments of lameness in horses on the lunge. Previous studies on subjective lameness evaluation have mainly focused on horses trotting in a straight line and the results have shown generally low compliance. With a web-based questionnaire, 43 veterinarians assessed 60 recordings that showed both fore- and hindlimb lameness, interspersed with sound horses that were trotting on the lunge in one direction. The horses showed mild to moderate lameness.

To be educated in global climate issues can be challenging for pupils. This may contribute to anxiety and feelings of helplessness. Global climate change may also be a challenge for educators to convey to young learners, f-3. Educators can experience various problems when it comes to teaching about climate issues. The subject of climate change is a broad and complex area, according to the studied material in our thesis.

Vatten är en av jordens livsviktiga resurser, en resurs som hela tiden minskar. I delar av världen råder akut vattenbrist och ofta återfinns industrier med hög vattenanvändning i områden med begränsad vattentillgång. En av dessa industrier är textilindustrin. Vid textil beredning är vattenförbrukningen mycket hög och avloppsvattnet är ofta mycket förorenat. Vattenfrågorna inom textil produktion har fram till idag inte uppmärksammats i lika stor grad som arbetsrätts- och kemikaliefrågorna.

In today?s health care it?s most common to treat an illness with a kind of pharmaceutical preparation. But lack of resources, given information and bad communication and collaboration between the patient and the nursing staff can lead to a patient unwilling to follow the doctor?s prescription. This does not just affect the individual patient?s health but it can also result in consequences for other people and the whole society.

During last autumn I have been studying the conflict between Israel and Palestine, both through books and at place in the area. The purpose has been to evaluate and reflect over EAPPI`s achievement (Ecumenical Accompaniment Programme in Palestine and Israel) and how it`s related to the goals of the organization. EAPPI is an interesting organization, mainly because it stands as a third part in the conflict. I have used a qualitative method for interviews and observations. The accompaniers, whom I have interviewed, represent three of seven placements in Israel/Palestine.

I have chosen in my study, to do a comparison between pupils´ expectations of the future, how they would meet adult life or working life after their education. These pupils are ending their programmes during this term. One program is Business and Administration Programme and the other programme is Qualified Vocational Education in Business, which is a post-secondary education and training programme. This investigation is done in Haninge municipality.The purpose of this study has been to investigate if these students´ expectations differ between each other, compared with factors such as age, sex, ethnical origin and different study programmes. Further it has been interested to see how teachers and future employer meet these pupils´ expectations in education or in their planning working life.There have been two other important questions to investigate in this study.

Background: Hand hygiene is the simplest and most fundamental means to prevent care related infections. It is of great importance that the guideline of hand hygiene is followed for the patient?s sake. Unfortunately, healthcare workers perform hand hygiene too seldom. If the patient comes down with a care related infection, the suffering will increase.

Bakgrund:Prevalensen av övervikt och fetma hos barn har ökat över hela världen de senasteårtionden. Primroseprojektet är ett forskningsprojekt som studerar möjligheten att förebyggabarnfetma genom föräldrasamtal på barnavårdscentralen (BVC). Sjuksköterskans compliancetill den interventionsmanual som används förväntas vara viktigt för resultatet.Syfte:Att inom ramen för Primroseprojektet bedöma hur föräldrar och BVC sjuksköterskor, isamband med att barnet genomgår hälsoundersökning vid tolv månaders ålder påbarnavårdscentralen, följt Primrosemanualens instruktioner.Metod: Matdagbok och målformuleringsblad granskades utifrån om de var ifyllda enligtmanualens instruktioner. Målformuleringsbladet poängsattes också utifrån den detaljnivåmålen var formulerade.Resultat:Nästan 75 procent av de inkomna matdagböckerna var ifyllda på ett korrekt sätt.Resultatet av poängbedömningen av målformuleringsbladen visade att sjuksköterskantillsammans med föräldern inte hade formulerat detaljerade mål i den omfattning som varönskvärd.Slutsats:Instruktionerna för hur matdagböckerna skulle fyllas i var tydliga. Den låga gradenav detaljerade mål tror författarna beror på en bristande överensstämmelse mellan hurinstruktionerna till sjuksköterskan var formulerade och de kriterier som skulle vara uppfylldaför att få poäng. .

The globalization of political and economic processes is a growing moral concern for theologians and political philosophers alike. My thesis aims to outline, analyze, and compare church studies of globalization with global theories of justice.To do this, I draw upon recent studies of globalization made by the World Council of Churches (WCC) and the Lutheran World Federation (LWF). The WCC and LWF are two global reaching church organizations. They have a common aim of uniting churches for ecumenical dialogue and are involved in social, economic, political, and ecological questions. The WCC and LWF analyze globalization by applying biblical and theological principles from the Christian tradition.

The improvement programme Six Sigma has often been surrounded by an air of success since it was introduced in the 1980s. Yet there are cases in which introduction of the Six Sigma improvement programme show far from successful results, even complete implementation failures with no traces of the Six Sigma methodology or any improvements after completion of the introduction. These failures can cause severe damage to organizations through direct monetary loss caused by a negative result of the investment. Indirectly the failure can cause confusion in the organization and loss of employee motivation. The conclusions have been derived based on a qualitative case study at a Swedish telecommunications company.

Under de senaste 20 a?ren har born global-fo?retag, som fenomen, sta?tt i rampljuset fo?r forskning. Detta fenomen anses av vissa forskare strida mot tidigare ka?nda internationaliseringsteorier. Uppsalamodellens fo?rklaringsgrad fo?r born global-fo?retag har da?rmed blivit ifra?gasatt.Fra?gesta?llningen som denna uppsats har som ma?l att fo?rklara a?r om ett born global-fo?retags internationalisering fo?rklaras av Uppsalamodellen? Om inte, hur kan man utveckla Uppsalamodellen till att a?ven inkludera born global-fo?retag?Fo?r att underso?ka forskningsfra?gan har det genomfo?rts en granskande litteraturgenomga?ng, en sammansta?llning av born global-fo?retag samt en fallstudie.

Syftet med denna uppsats är att kasta ljus över ämnet Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Inom detta ämne kommer fokus att ligga på det initiativ som heter Global Compact (GC), och som blivit föremål för såväl beundran som skepticism. Målet är att utröna om GC i Sverige blivit, eller är i riskzonen för att bli, en front för det som i uppsatsen kallas kulörtvätt, eller om det tvärtom är en välfungerande sammanslutning som hjälper till att sprida CSR. Frågeställning: ?Hur och vart åberopar de svenska företagen sitt medlemskap i Global Compact??, ?Av vilka anledningar ansluter sig företag till Global Compact??, ?Vilka effekter kan företagens frivilliga val av Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) som rapporteringssystem ha på de åtaganden av transparens och kommunikation som Global Compact medlemskapet för med sig?? Metod: För att uppfylla syftet och frågeställningarna används en kvantitativ och en kvalitativ metodel.
