To be able to move around without having to think about each movement is for most people amatter of course. Todays society contributes to a life at high speed where the sparetime is oftenspend doing somekind of sport, even extreme sports which earlier only a few people wheredoing. This leads to not only good health effects but also to more injuries. One of the mostcommon injuries is the knee injury.Capio Artro Clinic is a clinic specialized in sports medicine and particulary patients with injuriesin knee, shoulder, foot, hip or elbow. They perform a great part of all the crucial ligamentsurgeries in Sweden and has therefor also a lot of patients in need for rehabilitation of the knee.During the rehabilitation the load of the injuried knee is increased in steps.

Senare års forskning visar på att obstruktivt sömnapnésyndrom, OSAS, är en både underdiagnostiserad och underbehandlad sjukdom. Detta beror delvis på att många personer med OSAS är omedvetna om sitt tillstånd. Sjukdomen innebär återkommande totala andningsuppehåll under sömn och en hypoxi som leder till en rad olika komplikationer, däribland hjärtkärlsjukdomar. Syftet med denna studie var att utreda vad som påverkar OSAS och vilken roll sjuksköterskan kan spela i vården av dessa patienter. Metoden som användes var en litteraturundersökning.

Denna uppsats har sin utgångspunkt i Eli Heckschers beskrivning av stationssamhällens utveckling i och med järnvägen tillkomst under 1800-talets senare del. Fallstudien av stationssamhället Ljusdal under 1870-1890, tio år före stationens öppnande och tio år efter, beskriver befolkningsökningen och handeln och industrins utveckling under perioden. Resultatet visar att befolkningen ökade redan innan stationens öppnande, troligen till följd av förväntningar på järnvägen, men att den allra största ökningen sker under 1880-talets senare del, i samband med att stationen blir en knutpunkt. Hand i hand med befolkningsökningen går tillkomsten av handlanden och hantverkare. Utbudet blir bredare med tiden, och störst variation kan ses mot slutet av 20-årsperioden.

During the latter half of the 18th century, when concrete started seeing general use in modern cities, the use of different methods to give the concrete a finished surface texture saw use. One of these was using different methods of mechanically altering the surface using a slew of cutting and crushing techniques with mallet and chisel. This was done in order to hide the often dull and gray look of concrete, and allude to other more expensive and luxurious stones. The work would possibly have been done by experienced stonemasons, using much of the same techniques and tools they would have used while working natural stones. Or did they? This essay explores, through the use of traditional handcrafts and tools, the claim that the working of concrete surfaces can be done with the same tools and skillset as the working of natural stone.

The free choice of upper secondary school?A study of the meaning of the information channels for the choice of upper secondary schoolAuthors: David Fridner & Rikard ZeilonMentor: Ingela WadbringQuestionnaire studyDate: 2008-08-11AbstractThe choice of upper secondary school is a very important choice, both for the school and for the ninth grader. In Göteborg, the free choice of upper secondary school has generated several new information channels apart from the traditional counselor, daily news and the acquaintance. Today it is harder than ever to reach the pupil through the constant media noise and new forms of communication such as events appear. The fight for each pupil gets more and more important every term and it has now become real big business.Today?s youth is imprinted by a growing individuality and everyone knows that equableness is something very important.

Syftet med min uppsats är att göra en jämförelse av hur lärare ochandraspråkselever i årskurs 7-9 säger sig arbeta med ordinlärning ochinlärningsstrategier i ämnena svenska som andraspråk, engelska ochmoderna språk (franska, spanska och tyska). Som underlag för minstudie har jag valt att genomföra en elevenkät samt lärarintervjuer. Denklassificeringsmodell för språkinlärningsstrategier jag valt att utgå ifrånär utformad av Rebecca L. Oxford (1990).Trots att lärarna redogör för en undervisning som i många avseendengår hand i hand med de teorier som finns om ordinlärning visar det sigatt eleverna är relativt begränsade i sin användning avinlärningsstrategier. Det jag kommit fram till är att lärarna måstetydliggöra för eleverna varför det är bra att använda sig av strategiersamt hur och i vilka sammanhang de skall användas.Citatet nedan är en fri översättning av Henry Adams uttryck ?Theyknow enough who know how to learn? vilket jag anser speglar mittarbete på ett bra sätt (Oxford 1990:135)..

The purpose of this study is to explore how different discourses about risk linked to HIV prevention is likely to affect the decisions on the distribution of state funding for preventive activities aimed at 'men who have sex with men' (MSM). This by making qualitative interviews with principals that have an impact on this decision. Using a discourse analytic approach, based on both theoretical and methodological foundations, I investigate the discursive constructions of risk of HIV linked to certain groups and behaviors. MSM is found in the material placed into two different formations of groups, on one hand by the behavior on the other hand on the basis of identity. The identity position is organized discursively from a ?victim? position while MSM provides an "operator" position.

The aim of this study is to examine how students and teachers experience full class lectures in contrast to working individually in mathematics education. Furthermore, the study explores how different ideas of individualization influence the teaching practice.The investigation uses qualitative interviews and the survey analysis is based on the phenomenographic method. The interviews took place in two senior level compulsory schools and both teachers and students were interviewed. The ambition has been to explore the teachers? perspectives regarding their choice of method in the teaching of mathematics.

KKS includes difficulties hearing speech in background noise although results from pure toneaudiometry are normal. The condition is also called ?Obscure Audiotory Dysfunction? and?Auditory disability with normal hearing?. KKS affects a heterogeneous group. We believethere is a need for synthesis of existing studies to acknowledge the condition in Sweden toimprove rehabilitation for the affected individuals.

The author has, with the help of AK Consultancy Indoor Air AB, formed a series of questions regarding moisture problems in buildings and how these are handled in extreme climates with high temperatures and a high relative humidity. Furthermore to analyse and indentify key material that makes a construction safe against moisture problems. Ventilation, AC and the choice of materials have in a later stage of the thesis been investigated to enhance the knowledge of moisture protection. The research for this report includes measurements on existing buildings, calculation models on the building envelope for analyses and the ingoing materials of the envelope. The health aspect of moisture problems related to ?sick building syndrome? has been included and interviews have been conducted to gather relevant information.A study of the American system, ASHRAE, American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers and the standards used in Singapore has been made to highlight the difference.

In Sweden, exercise takes a great part in people?s lives. Health and a good conditioned body go hand in hand. Many Swedes exercise in groups, with aerobics or a similar form of workout at a training facility. A regular workout lasts for about an hour and is accompanied by music.

This report intends through qualitative interviews, to analyze the knowledge and attitude towards incident reporting among the employees of the Swedish construction contractor JM.The goal of the thesis work is to hopefully contribute to an increase of employees? awareness on those issues.

Syftet med detta examensarbete var att hitta praktiska metoder för att reducera innehållet av glukos, fruktos, sukros och fruktaner, så kallade lättlösliga kolhydrater (WSC), i vallfoder. Ett vallfoder med mindre mängd WSC kan vara användbart för hästar som har fång, är insulinresistenta eller har fått diagnosen EMS (equine metabolic syndrome) eller Equine Cushing?s syndrome. Faktorer som kan påverka innehållet av WSC i vallfoder är bl.a. växtens utvecklingsstadium, konserveringsmetod, lagringstid, tillsats av mjölksyrabakterier till ensilage/hösilage, samt blötläggning av foder innan utfodring.
