Det förekommer hållningsmönster som kan leda till problem från nacke och axlar. Ett hållningsmönster med hög muskelaktivitet i övre trapezius (ÖT) är ofta förknippat med nack- och skuldersmärta. Därför var det relevant att göra en experimentell hållningskorrigeringsstudie för att studera eventuella förändringar i muskelaktiviteten i ÖT. Syftet med studien var att undersöka om en korrigering av axlarnas position har betydelse för muskelaktiviteten i ÖT när armarna hålls i tre olika positioner framför kroppen, samt beskriva muskelaktiviteten i dessa positioner. Tio personer med hopsjunken hållning och nack- eller axelproblem deltog i studien.

At Flight and Systems test Saab AB, a post-processing software is used to process GPS data. A new software by the name GrafNav has been purchased and the purpose of this master thesis therefore became, partly to make a judgment regarding GrafNav?s ability to estimate position, velocity and accuracy, partly to if needed improve the estimate and finally find one or several methods to estimate the position and velocity accuracy. The judgment of GrafNav was performed partly by a comparison to the former post-processing software (PNAV) and partly by a comparison to the airplane?s inertial navigation system (INS).

Eight out of ten Swedes has once in a while pain in the back, neck or shoulders. This often depends on inactivity and monotonous work under a long time. Pain affects us mentally since the body and mind affect each other, which can lead to an evil circle of pain and depression. A typical imbalance in an office worker with the arms in front of the body while working is that the muscles on the front of the trunk will be shortened, since they never work with their full length and become strong because of the constant use. On the other hand, the muscles on the back of the trunk will be weakened and elongated, since they are working in an extended and static position.

The purpose of this study is to examine the difference between three query strategies with respect to retrieval effectiveness. The thesis aims at examining how two types of noun phrases containing a modifier to the head word, which is a noun affect the retrieval performance with regard to recall and precision. The noun phrases in the thesis are of two types: 1) noun phrases containing a modifier to the head word (which is a noun) and which are not dictionary phrases (NF) and 2) dictionary phrases. Both types of noun phrases in this thesis contain at least two words. The queries were executed in Query Performance Analyser, QPA, containing the InQuery system and a sub collection of TREC-Uta documents with its topics.

Patienter som erhåller strålbehandling mot huvud- och halscancer drabbas i hög utsträckning av behandlingsrelaterade biverkningar. Oral mucosit, skada på munhålans slemhinna, är vanligt förekommande och kan påverka patientens grad av livskvalitet. Sjukvårdspersonal undersöker inte regelbundet munhålan och det kan därför dröja innan tecken på skada uppenbaras. Syftet med denna uppsats var att beskriva omvårdnadsinterventioner vid oral mucosit i samband med strålbehandling mot huvud- och halscancer. Vidare att beskriva om standardisering av omvårdnaden kan lindra behandlingsrelaterad oral mucosit.

Equestrian sports and the interest in horses have existed for hundreds of years. It is only in the last thirty years the technological development have enabled closer studies of equine locomotion. The production of both soft- and hardware that manages to capture and analyze the fast movement of the horse has resulted in a large increase in locomotion research. Even though the interest in horses and the different disciplines they compete in is great, there is a small understanding in how the rider influences the movement of the horse in different types of training. There are several studies available where horses moving freely without the influence of a rider have been studied. What happens with locomotion and ground reaction forces when a rider and equipment are added is not well studied. The objective of this study was to investigate if there are any differences in the ground reaction forces between sitting and rising trot. The study contained seven horses. Six Grand Prix dressage horses and one dressage horse competing at intermediate level.

Bakgrund: Cancer i huvud- och halsområdet är den sjätte vanligaste cancerdiagnosen i världen. Begreppet huvud- och halscancer innefattar läppcancer, cancer i näsa och bihålor, i munhåla och svalg, struphuvud, på stämbanden och i spottkörtlarna. De vanligaste behandlingsformerna är kirurgi, strålbehandling och cytostatikabehandling. Sjukdomen och behandlingen innebär ofta svåra fysiska, psykiska och sociala biverkningar för patienten. Detta ställer stora krav på sjuksköterskans kunskaper och färdigheter inom området och i omvårdnaden av dessa patienter.

In today?s society, people do not solely purchase a product for its promised use. Instead, a brand is purchased and along with that brand comes a variety of associations. The associations of a product?s brand are what contributes to the added value that, according to this study, is what distinguishes a brand?s power.

This thesis aims to investigate the positioning concept of industrial services. We chose to identify the reasons why positioning is used as well as to describe the positioning process. The research strategy chosen for this thesis was a case study of a consultancy firm Benima AB. This firm was chosen due to the fact that a new positioning concept during the latest year hade been implemented and therefore seemed like a good choice for our study. Of the six available theoretical reasons for positioning, we found that Benima AB had two of them: namely change in target market or their needs and demands and renewed company identity/personality.

Nackbesvär är vanligt förekommande vid datorarbete. Stående datorarbete har i visats ha en gynnsam effekt på nackbesvär. Nackflexion kan ge en ökad belastning på nacken. Syftet med studien var att jämföra flexion i nacken vid sittande och stående datorarbete för personer som utför datorarbete under en stor del av dagen i sitt ordinarie arbete.Sammanlagt tio personer, åtta kvinnor och två män, som arbetar på en företagshälsovård deltog i studien. De arbetade med datorarbete i växel, kundservice, sjukvårdsrådgivning eller sjuk och frisktjänst (en tjänst där arbetsgivare får hjälp att hantera sjuk och friskanmälningar, sammanställning av sjukskrivningsstatistik samt med rådgivning till sjukskrivna).
