In this study the practical work with the EU Water Framework starts on the island of Gotland. 33 lakes and 32 streams have been characterized and classified regarding to their ecological status. The aim with the characterisation is to create a uniform discription of all waterbodies and a comparable estimation for the future. The aim with the classification is both to study the waterbodies ecological status and to gain knowledge of where the resources should be concentrated so that the ecological status in all waterbodies will be good in 2015.The characterisation has been done according to the EU Water Framework Directive, and the factors that have been applied are the mean depth and area of the lake. The length and size on the catchment area are the factors that have been used on streams.

Forskning har visat att många skolbarn lider av psykisk ohälsa och att ohälsa påverkas av socioekonomisk status och etnisk tillhörighet. Studiens syfte var att undersöka om gruppbehandling med medveten närvaro kan minska skolbarns oro, ångest och nedstämdhet i ett område med låg socioekonomisk status och etnisk mångfald. Aktiv behandling jämfördes med kontrollbehandling (avslappningsövningar). 50 skolbarn i åk 3 deltog. Behandlingen omfattade 12 sessioner á 30 minuter under sex veckor.

The goal with this study have been to investigate how teachers in physical education perceive health as a concept, and how they choose to work with in the classes they teach. Health as a concept can be somewhat diffuse and as the Swedish curriculum doesn?t define the concept the teacher are given a freedom in interpreting what health is and how it will be taught to the students. This makes it interesting to study if teachers perceive health differently and if that affect what they are teaching their students.I used interviews as a method to answer my questions and the results show that there wasn?t much difference between the teachers in how they perceive health and how, and what, they teach their students.

Increasing immigration to Sweden has transformed a culturally homogeneous society into a more heterogeneous one. As a consequence intercultural communication and interaction have been increasing. Child health care agencies have encountered these increases. The aim of this study was to examine what the health care professionals experienced and communicated in these intercultural environments. Eight interviews with child health care nurses were carried through at four child health care centers in the south of Sweden.

Syfte och frågeställningarSyftet med denna studie var att genom intervjuer kartlägga samordnarnas arbete för fysisk aktivitet på recept(FaR®) i sex landsting. Tre av de landsting vars invånare i genomsnitt har bland den lägsta respektive högsta socioekonomiska statusen i Sverige. Statusen är baserad på disponibel inkomst, nivå av utbildning, antal mottagare av ekonomiskt bistånd och introduktionsersättning till flyktingar, arbetslöshet samt arbetslösa i arbetsåtgärder. Intervjuerna genomfördes för att undersöka om, och i så fall i vilken utsträckning, den socioekonomiska statusen hos invånarna har en koppling till FaR-samordningen och mängden förskrivna FaR i landstinget. Med detta var tanken att se om något tyder på att invånarna i de landsting vars invånare har lägre socioekonomisk status missgynnas.Metod? Vilka hinder respektive förutsättningar för FaR-samordningen finns i de sex landsting som ingår i studien?? Finns det tecken på koppling till den socioekonomiska statusen hos invånarna och FaR-samordning enligt samordnarna?? Hur ser omfattningen gällande antalet förskrivna FaR ut i respektive landsting?Som metod i studien användes kvalitativ ansats med halvstrukturerade intervjuer där sex informanter med rollen att samordna FaR i landstingen intervjuades.

During the last decades the fertility of dairy cows has declined in the same rate as the milk yield has increased. This is a result of the negative genetic correlation between milk yield and fertility, failure to show estrous signs and metabolic problems in the cow. The purpose of this review was to investigate the function of metabolites and hormones as markers for disturbances in fertility, health and production in the dairy cow. There are several metabolites that are suggested to indicate the cow?s energy balance.

This thesis presents the design and implementation of an accounting and status notification system for the LPRng print spooler. A solution using SNMP to query for needed accounting and status data is presented, a design built upon this, and an implementation produced. As the system derives from the requirements specification, it will make no attempt to solve all printer accounting problems or to offer compatibility with all printers, database management systems or print spoolers. However, several solutions for printer accounting are discussed and the best solution derived from the requirements specification will be chosen..

Background: Daily news reports of school violence, bullying and harassment are common. The school has developed into an arena which has been exposed into a growing unhealthyness. Paradoxically, financial resources decreases while demands on school staff increases. How does school staff and personal cope with these demands?

Many pedigree dogs are suffering from inherited diseases or personality disorders caused by selective breeding. The Swedish lapphund is a breed that has been suffering from some loss of genetic variation due to the heavy use of only a few males. Concerns have arisen and crossbreeding has been discussed as a way to manage gene loss. Four breeds has been taken into consideration for this purpose; schipperke, finish lapphund, Norwegian buhund and Norwegian elkhound, black. These breeds has been tested theoretical by a comparison of mentality and health.

Syftet med undersökningen var att påvisa hur ungdomar talat om förhållandet mellan konsumtion, identitet och status. Den teoretiska utgångspunkten har hämtats från bland annat Bauman och Giddens tankar om konsumtion och postmodernitet. Den tidigare forskning som gjorts om konsumtion belyser bland annat vilket förhållande ungdomar har gentemot märken, vilka olika påverkan som finns, vad som betecknas som statuskonsumtion samt vilken betydelse konsumtion har för individers identitetsskapande. Respondenterna bestod av 12 ungdomar mellan 16-18 år. De delades in i en killgrupp, en tjejgrupp samt en blandgrupp för att påvisa några eventuella skillnader mellan grupperna.

Nurses in health care have a responsible and sometimes stressful job. Nowadays there?s a high pace in health care where many decisions have to be made during time pressure, a lot of information has to be transferred between health care units and sometimes complicated equipment are used. Cases of mistakes are reported more than ever to the national committee responsible for health care. Many of the mistakes, where the nurses are involved are due to the nurses? stress.The aim of this study was to gather information to describe causes of stress in nursing care and the nurses? experience of stress influence on health care.The method that was chosen for this study was a literature review where scientific, critically reviewed articles were analyzed.  The analysis resulted in two main themes.

The aim with the literature study was to describe how persons with dementia and health care workers in the geriatric care experiences soft massage and to describe the derived effects for persons with dementia. Scientific articles were sampled from the databases: Medline (Pub Med), Cinahl and Psyc INFO. The main results of the study are presented in three parts: how persons with dementia experiences soft massage, health care workers experiences of giving soft massage and the health care workers descriptions on derived effects on persons with dementia. The results showed that persons with dementia experienced a positive reaction to soft massage and the health care workers did no longer feel helpless in their care service towards persons with dementia. The studies showed that soft massage decreased agitation, wandering, pain and sleeplessness.
