Introduktion: Irritable Bowel Syndrome, IBS, är den vanligaste funktionella mag-tarmsjukdomen i västvärlden med en prevalens på cirka 15-20 % i befolkningen. IBS är generellt sett dubbelt så vanligt förekommande hos kvinnor som hos män och majoriteten som drabbas är kvinnor under 40 år. Behandling med låg FODMAP-kost är den mest effektiva kostbehandlingen vid IBS. Det finns få kvalitativa studier om IBS och behandling med låg FODMAP-kost och det behövs en ökad förståelse av hur det är att leva med IBS och behandlas med en låg FODMAP-kost.Syfte: Få förståelse om en grupp IBS-diagnostiserade kvinnors upplevelser av att leva med sjukdomen och behandlingen med låg FODMAP-kost.Metod: Studien bygger på en kvalitativ forskningsdesign med semistrukturerade intervjuer som metod för insamling av data. Fem kvinnor med IBS mellan 22-34 år deltog i enskilda intervjuer varpå intervjuerna transkriberades och utgjorde underlag för en tematisk analys.Resultat: Samtliga informanter upplevde att deras välbefinnande ökat markant efter påbörjad behandling med låg FODMAP-kost.

This dissertation is performed at the request of Lagafors AB who develops and manufactures stationery and mobile hygiene solutions for companies in the food- processing industry. The objective of this dissertation is to develop and construct a new, cost efficient cleaning station based on an innovative technology.The technique is based on serially connected dosing pumps which allow the customer to work with concentrated detergents. This leads to serious reduction in the clients use expenses. Two units have been developed with this technique, one that is stationary and one that is mobile.The dissertation has led to good results which resulted in the sale of the first stationary unit of the Lagafors CPU before the end of this dissertation. .

Att patienter hämtar ut sina förskrivna läkemedel är en förutsättning för att kunna använda läkemedlen på ett ändamålsenligt sätt. Underanvändning av läkemedel är ett stort problem. Att inte ta sina läkemedel som föreskrivet kan leda till förlängd sjukdomstid och behov att ytterligare medicinering. Därför är det viktigt att finna enkla sätt att öka compliance hos patienter. Studiens syfte var att undersöka effekten av en brev- eller telefonpåminnelse till patienter som ej efterfrågat sina e-recept.

In organic animal production, synthetic amino acids are not allowed. Therefore, a higher level of crude protein is needed in the diet to pigs, which lead to more nitrogen (N) excreted in the faeces and urine. N can be emitted to the air in the form of e.g. ammonia (NH3), which contributes to eutrophication and acidification and as nitrous oxide (N2O), which is a very potent greenhouse gas. The emission of N can be reduced by e.g.

Bakgrund: Uppskattningsvis har cirka två procent av befolkningen någon gång under sin livstid haft ett bensår. Tittar man på enbart venösa bensår beräknas den siffran ligga på cirka 0,12-1 procent. Bensår är ingen sjukdom i sig utan ett symtom på någon underliggande sjukdom. Den vanligaste orsaken är någon form av cirkulatorisk störning exempelvis venös insufficiens. Den typ av behandling som rekommenderas vid venösa bensår är kompressionsbehandling.

Antalet miljo?direktiv fortsa?tter att o?ka och de befintliga kompletteras regelbundet med nya krav och regler. A?F har tillsammans med industrin och dess leveranto?rer utvecklat ett verktyg, A?F PRS, fo?r att handskas med de problem direktiven skapar fo?r fo?retagen. Syftet med detta arbete var att identifiera fo?retags nuvarande processer fo?r hantering av direktiven REACH, RoHS och ErP och fo?resla? fo?rba?ttringar av PRS i linje med det som identifierats.10 fo?retag valdes ut baserat pa? omsa?ttning och antalet ansta?llda.

The increasing public concern regarding the government?s priorities in spending public resources puts pressure on public organisations to address quality issues in their practice. In United Kingdom both BRTF (Better Regulation Task Force) (BIS, 2005b) and the Hampton report (BIS, 2005a) highlighted management and quality problems in public organisations in UK. These reports revealed obstacles within institutions? intent to offer recommendations and appropriate solutions for agencies working with legal enforcement and control.

This study was carried out in Jordan with the purpose to investigate the bacterial microflora of egg shells from cage systems and from deep litter floor systems. Another aim wasto get a general impression of the hygiene, at farm level, of egg production in Jordan andthe factors affecting it.Eggs from two cage systems and three floor systems were analyzed, regarding bacterialcontamination of the egg shells. Egg samples were taken from the storage room, the eggcradle in the cage system and from the nest and floor in the floor system. To get a generalimpression of the hygiene at the farms, swab tests and air tests were performed. Swab testswere performed with a sterile cotton swab at the same units as the eggs were sampled andair tests were performed by opening petri dishes where the hens were staying.

The goal in doing this study has been studying public interpretations of media content in the commercials that this study uses. The analysis was based on two TV commercials for feminine hygiene products. Initially, they seemed to differ from each other, but soon the question whether or not they in fact did convey the same underlying message was raised. The theoretical premises on which the study was founded on are the gender perspective in advertising and the social construction of gender. To reveal the hidden signs appearing in these commercials and to find out their meanings, we used the method of semiotic analysis.

Idag är hjärt-kärlsjukdomar den vanligaste orsaken till död i Sverige, så som högt blodtryck samt hjärtsvikt. Behandling av dessa sjukdomar kan ofta bli livslång. Enbart 50 % av patienter vid långtidsmedicinering tar sina läkemedel, det är viktigt att ordinationen följs. Enalapril, ACE-hämmare, är en viktig behandlingsform vid högt blodtryck samt hjärtsvikt. Idag gäller generisk substitutionen vilket medför att kunden kan få ett nytt preparat vid varje expediering.

Peat litter is a soft material with high absorbency. About hundred years ago many farmers in Sweden used peat litter to their dairy cows. After the World War II the use of peat litter decreased and the farmers used more straw. Nowadays (year 2007), when it is harder to find straw and sawdust to buy, peat litter is advancing again. The purpose with this study is to investigate peat as a litter to dairy cows.

This paper aims at shedding light on the effects of a broken psychological contract in terms of job satisfaction. In a qualitative field study, the author researches seven newly recruites employees about their expectations when starting their jobs at the rapidly growing, Swedish company Klarna. Using Herzbergs two-factor model of hygiene and motivation factors as well as modern motivation theory, i.e. self-determination theory, the study answers questions as to what makes a candidate choose a company and what factors motivates as well as demotivates the recruit at the job, in the onboarding phase. The result is an attempt to describe what makes a recruitment process successful..

The purpose of my task was to map the pallet flows at Findus and put together as well as analyze the problems. My work has also included finding out what alternatives there are to the present pallet exchange system and suggest measures to reduce the problems.The problems can be divided into poor quality and hygiene issues. The poor quality, for instance poor strength is due to arbitrary judgements and the fact that there are companies that make a system of manufacturing forged pallets of an inferior quality compared to the EUR-pallets. These pallets are marked with stamps more or less similar to the EUR-mark and taken into the exchange system. Of course there are rules how to judge a pallet but these rules are many and sometimes indistinct and there are a lot of marks to keep track of.The most dangerous part is when the pallets lack the prescribed carrying capacity.

India is the country with the highest prevalence of rabies in the world, with about 20?000 human deaths occurring every year. The country also has a heavy burden of free roaming dogs, mainly because of the high amount of edible waste in the streets, which are the main hosts for the disease. Therefore to truly extinguish rabies, the main focus should be on the dogs, both stray dogs and owned. One method is to vaccinate all dogs against rabies.
