The main purpose of this bachelor thesis is to create a product in the form of a database that can be used for cost estimates of equipment within bio refineries. Through interviews and literature searches the key components and their costs were identified. The database was constructed in Microsoft Excel with different tabs for different categories of components; these tabs are further divided into three parts: one part with costs, one part with calculations and an information part. Most of the part with costs contains the expenses found in scientific papers during the literature study, the calculating part converts different capacities according to user preferences and the currency to euro (?) from 2010 and the information part consists of references and information about what is included in the cost.The database is a good tool for making cost estimates for bio refineries.

The aim of this master thesis is to study how teachers in adult education view the phenomenon of information seeking in education.

Information seeking is the student?s responsibility; 2.

Introduktion: Att handleda studenter ingår i sjuksköterskans yrkesroll. Handledning utförs med en handledningsmodell som grund där samarbetet mellan lärosätet och den kliniska verksamheten tydliggörs. Olika pedagogiska modeller finns utarbetade med syfte att stödja studenten i lärandet. Kärnan i handledning är reflektion som möjliggör sammankoppling mellan teori och praktik. Att tydliggöra vilken betydelse reflektion har för studentens lärande är väsentligt.  Syfte: Syftet med studien var att tydliggöra reflektionens betydelse för studentens lärande i klinisk praktik samt att beskriva faktorer som främjar respektive hindrar reflektion.  Metod: Systematisk litteraturstudie valdes enligt Polit & Beck.

This report will outline a proposal for the improvement of the baggage sorting facility at Arlanda airport. Swedavia is a state owned company group that operates, owns and develops airports in Sweden. One of their main roles is to create accessibility needed to facilitate and streamline the work at the airport.Swedavia is constantly working to develop new solutions and enhancements that will help to standardize and automate the work at airports without major impact on climate and above all adapt these solutions to work.The project has been aimed to identify and isolate the problem at the check-in counter, investigate the possibility of setting a speed control on the DC motor driving the luggage conveyer belt at the check-in desk so that the luggage does not lose tracking already there, as well as evaluate the new sorting systems planned to be introduce in the upcoming refurbishment of the sorting area.To determine the parameters that are used to regulate the speed of the baggage conveyor belt, information about the inputs and outputs that participated in the process was gathered. Information was collected both practically and theoretically. Process was followed and monitored by the supervisor of the company, and a theoretical study was done separately on my own.

The United Nations has, during many years, developed a model for a globally harmonized system for classification and labeling of chemicals, with the aim of it becoming a global standard. This system is implemented in the European Union through the CLP-regulation and is now working parallel to the existing directives until 1st of June 2015, when all the new classifications of substances and mixtures must be completed. The aim of this project was to adjust the laboratory to the new legislation, through inventory of stored chemicals, update the list of chemicals and perform self-classifications of mixtures. The work included handling of about 650 different chemicals with varying hazard classifications and search for information in corporate websites and chemical databases. This resulted in a new and complete list of chemicals stored and used in the laboratory and, in addition, an example of how to make a self classification of a mixture.

The aims of the study were to investigate the prevalence and antibiotic resistance of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli in chicken and chicken products, and to investigate farmer awareness of antibiotic resistance development. The study was conducted in the Can Tho province in Vietnam during six weeks in October to November 2008. Ninety-six samples from raw chickens were collected from twelve market places and analysed for the presence of Campylobacter. A total of 96 cloacal swabs from 20 farms were obtained and analysed for the presence of Campylobacter. Farmers were asked to answer eight questions concerning the housing of the chickens, modes of handling sick animals as well as use and knowledge of antibiotics and resistance development to antibiotics.

Laws and regulations govern the school kitchens in Sweden. The municipality controls how well the school kitchens obey those laws. An annual fee covers the municipality?s expenses for the public control of the school kitchens. To be able to calculate this annual fee, a risk evaluation needs to be done.

Bakgrund: Mot bakgrund av ett ökat antal fall med prostatacancer på ett företag erbjöds alla anställda män över 40 år av arbetsgivaren att genomföra en PSA-provtagning hos företagshälsovården i förebyggande syfte. Som företagsläkare är det otillfredsställande att ta beslut om åtgärder utifrån enbart provresultat utan annan information, varför man beslöt att göra en studie av dem som hade erbjudits PSA-prov.Syfte: PSA-screening är kontroversiellt även på global nivå. Syftet var att undersöka attityden till PSA-screening och speciellt klinisk undersökning vid provtagning, informationsnivån om PSA hos de tillfrågade samt eventuella samband mellan attityd/informationsnivå och besvär/ärftlig belastning.Undersökt grupp: 48 män, alla över 40 år - på samma arbetsplats, där man misstänkte ökat antal fall med prostatacancer som tidigare hade fått erbjudande om PSA-test och uttryckt sig positivt om att delta i studien. Härav besvarade 37 enkäten, vilket var den slutliga gruppen för undersökningen. Metod: En enkät med 29 frågor om information och allmän attityd till PSA-screening, eventuellt genomförd PSA-provtagning och/eller läkarundersökning samt eventuella vattenkastningsbesvär och hereditet för prostatacancer tillsändes undersökningsgruppen.Resultat: Drygt 2 år efter introduktionen av erbjudandet om PSA-screening för alla anställda på 40 år eller däröver, var en stor majoritet (89% enligt enkäten) fortsatt positiva till genomförandet av PSA-screening inom Företagshälsovården.

YouTube är en videodelande kanal med över en miljard unika besökare. Genom YouTube kan företag nå ut till en stor del av befolkningen då företagen kan marknadsföra sig genom annonser som visas innan en vald video startar. För användaren finns möjligheten att välja bort 75 % av alla annonser efter fem sekunder och direkt komma vidare till den valda videon.Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka om det existerar ett värde för företag i de första fem sekunder som en annons visas på YouTube, innan möjligheten att hoppa över annonsen uppkommer. För att undersöka detta genomfördes först en förstudie på 20 studenter på Luleå tekniska universitet för att ta reda på om majoriteten väljer att hoppa över annonser på YouTube när möjligheten ges. Detta då syftet med studien inte är relevant om en för liten andel väljer att hoppa över YouTube annonser efter fem sekunder.

Background: Folate is a water - soluble vitamin necessary for normal DNA synthesis among  other mechanisms. Folate deficiency can cause megaloblastic anemia resulting from abnormal erythrocyte d evelopment. At the Department of Clinical Chemistry, Linköping, analysis of folate is performed with Siemens ADVIA Centaur® XP which uses an immunochemical method with chemiluminimetric detection. Currently, the assay is conducted on serum, is poured off and frozen after 48 h and treated with light protection because folate is considered to be light sensitive.Methods: This study tested lithium heparin plasma for analysis of folate with Siemens ADVIA Centaur® XP with the aim to be able to perform a package of analyzes in anemia investigation from the same collection tube. Furthermore, the stability of folate was studied for up to 168 h and examined regarding light sensitivity.Results: Statistically significant higher values were obtained in the analysis of folate in lithium heparin plasma than folate in serum (p < 0,001).
