Undersökning av ögats brytningsförmåga i ett svenskt hästmaterial :
Skiascopy, also called retinoscopy, is a method for determining the refractive power of
the eye. There are only a few, old studies made on equine refraction. The aim of this
study was to investigate the refractive power in a population of Swedish horses.
The study consists of a review of relevant studies done on animals and an experimental
part where the refractive power of 93 horses of different age, breed and usage was
examined. A pilot study of 12 horses was performed regarding the importance of
cycloplegia when doing skiascopy on horses.
The results of the pilot study show no significant difference in the skiascopy results
between the group before and after cycloplegia were induced. Consequently, there is no
need of inducing cycloplegia before doing skiascopy in adult horses.
The study shows that horses usually were emmetropic (normally sighted) with minor
deviations toward myopia or hyperopia.
Fäst vid keramik : En experimentell undersökning av lipidrester i keramik, med GC-MS-metod, efter nedbrytningsförsök
Thisis an experimental study of lipid residues within the field of laboratoryarcheology. Pottery was made in a time like manner and used to cook grain and Icelandmoss and exposed to an organized biodegradation experiment inside an incubatorfor later analyzes with the GC-MS-method. Tests were also taken from pottery,grain and Iceland moss that had not been exposed for a biodegrading attempt.The grain is a domesticated cereal and the Icelandic moss fungi-alga mix. Thetest results showed mostly saturated fatty acids, sterols and monoacylglycerolsof saturated fatty acids. Within the laboratory archeology, ergosterol has beensuggested as a possible biomarker for yeast and alcohol fermentation.
Kvinnopartibildning på Island men inte i Sverige - En motivanalys av Kvennalistinn och Stödstrumpornas val kring partibildning
The Swedish and Icelandic women's movements, the Support Stockings and the Women's Alliance both had the goal to change their nation's women politics. The goal was to increase the low representation of women in their parliaments and to highlight women issues on the political agenda. The essay shows that the most important reason behind the will to form a party, was a new issue being disregarded by existing parties, although there is a considerable interest concerning the issue amongst society. While a party was formed on Iceland the Swedish equivalence did not occur. Even though only one party was formed, both movements achieved the same results.
Undersöka förbättringspotential med verktyg från Lean produktion
In the year 1783 a fissure eruption from Laki in the southern part of Iceland produced a large amount of volcanic gases during a period of eight months. The volcanic gases and aerosols spread across the northern hem sphere due to ideal weather conditions and had a substantial impact on the environment, human health and also climate effects. This, so called dry fog, caused severe health problems, which led to death casualties, killing animals, crops and other vegetation. The consequence was a widespread famine which was aggravated by a hard and long winter in 1783/84. Analysis shows that the Icelandic volcanoes are the primary risk to produce dry fog that can affect Sweden.

Förlaget och novellen : En studie av Bokförlaget Forums inställning till novellutgivning
The aim of this essay is to examine the attitudes towards publication of short stories, carried by the employees of Bokförlaget Forum, a randomly chosen Swedish publishing house. The study seeks to investigate the causes behind and consequences of the attitudes, as well as their generality. Through qualitative interviews, carried out with five of the company?s employees, the short story is defined as a problematic genre, mainly due to its low commercial success. The conclusions drawn from the interviews are put into a historical perspective, where the developments of the short story-genre, as well as that of the modern Swedish book market, are discussed.
Förlagsredaktörers informationsbeteende. En studie av förlagsredaktörer som arbetar med facklitteratur.
The main purpose of this work was to examine the information behavior of nonfiction publishing Company editors. Three problem areas were presented and expressed in the following questions:- What is the information need of the editor in every day work?- Which sources of information do the editors use when they are looking for information and how do they make use of them?- Are there any factors that have an influence on the information behavior of the editors and in what way do the factors effect the information behavior of the editors in their everyday work? And finally, do the editors experience any factors as barriers to information behavior?Six editors, all with academical background, all employed in different publishing companies were interviewed. The result of this study have been analysed within a theoretical framework influenced by the work of Tom Wilson, Lars Höglund and Olle Persson and Block and Lagberg. The result shows that the editors had various regular needs of information in their every day work.
Genetic study of cryptorchidism in Swedish Icelandic and Standardbred horses
Samodling är en odlingsmetod som kan användas för att förbättra dagens odlingssystem. Metoden innebär att två eller flera kulturer odlas tillsammans under en större del av växtsäsongen. Samodling kan användas på flera olika sätt för att förbättra odlingsförhållandena för antingen
huvudgrödan eller hela odlingen. Den har en bevisad effekt på olika skadegörare och kan minska angreppen i odlingen. Samodling kan även användas för att minska ogrässpridningen, förbättra mikroklimatet, samt öka
antalet maskar och naturliga fiender i odlingen.
Testikelstörningar hos hingstar i Sverige
This project was initiated by a veterinarian, that at stallion performance tests for breeding during a number of years, noted breed differences in various types of testicular disorders. Therefore it was of interests to examine the proportion of testicular disorders within certain breeds. The aim with the project was in a first part to study cryptorchidism in common horse breeds in Sweden. Information about castrations of stallions performed during a 10 year period (2000-2009) was collected from computerized case records at five animal hospitals. The case records showed the numbers of castrations, normal cases and cases preformed on stallions with cryptorchidism, abdominal respectively inguinal.
Allan Petterssons personarkiv : Digitalt eller i pappersform?
Digitization is a concept that has become popular in terms of collections of old heritage-related material such as books, photographs and paper documents. This work is a study of the Swedish composer Allan Pettersson (1911?1980) and his personal archive stored at Section for Manuscripts and Music at Uppsala University Library. My issues are What happens to the archive of the digitized? Will there be a "new" archive of the digitized? What guidelines are Uppsala University Library using for their digitizing and how do they look? What will be the result after digitization? What about copyright and the material? Allan Pettersson's personal papers consist a large collection of sketches of musical notes, newspaper clippings and concert programs.
Introduktionen som försvann - lanseringen av litauiska noveller till en svensk läsekrets.
This work concerns the book "Litauiska noveller" [Lithuanian Short Stories], a collection of nine Lithuanian short stories translated into Swedish by noted Finnish diplomat Ragnar Öller (1893-1960) and tutor and journalist Nils Bohman (1902-1943). The authors of the nine short stories are Jonas Bili?nas, Vincas Kr?v?-Mickevi?ius, Antanas ?ukauskas-Vienuolis, Ignas Jurkunas-Scheynius, Jurgis Savickis, Petras Cvirka, and Petron?l? Orintait?.The 242-page book published 1940 in Stockholm, was the first translation of literary texts from the Lithuanian appearing in the Swedish language. In spite of a professionally carried out translation, the book never gained the attention of Swedish literary circles, and has more or less been forgotten throughout the post war period and up to the present.The purpose of this paper is to investigate the history leading up to the publication of the book within the context of Swedish-Lithuanian relations, and analyse the possible reasons of why this work remained unnoticed for so many decades. Why was the book not reviewed in the Swedish daily press? Was the book ignored because of the choice of authors of the novels? Was the disregard due to the political situation?A discussion from a few selected points of view follows on some possible reasons of why the launch of "Litauiska noveller" failed in 1940.An appendix listing published works of Lithuanian authors in the Scandinavian languages (Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, and Icelandic) up to 1996 is attached..
Påverkar klippning och täckning det fysiologiska svaret på arbete och återhämtning hos islandshästar?
Syftet med den här studien var att undersöka hur det fysiologiska svaret på träning och återhämtning ser ut hos islandshästar, samt om detta påverkas av klippning och täckning. Sex islandshästar studerades innan, under och 60 minuter efter att de genomförde ett standardiserat träningsprogram. Programmet genomfördes fyra gånger och hästarna var sina egna kontroller. Varje gång var hästarna under någon av följande behandlingar: 1) oklippt (full vinterpäls), 2) oklippt (full vinterpäls) och försedd med täcke direkt efter träningspassets slut, 3) halvklippt eller 4) halvklippt och försedd med täcke direkt efter träningspassets slut. Hjärtfrekvens, andningsfrekvens, hudtemperatur, rektaltemperatur, laktat, pH, hematokrit, pCO2, kalium, totalprotein och glukos mättes.
Längs en och samma grusväg. En studie om författarna till några handskrivna sångböcker från sekelskiftet 1900.
Title: Along one and the same road - a study of the people behind some hand written song books from around the turn of the 19th century. It is based on some hand written songbooks found in homes along the small byroad in Kruse, Alva, Gotland. My own connection to the place is that I was born in one of these houses. During the summer of 2008 interviews were made with four people who live or have lived along this road themselves. Some of them have even lived in the same houses as the owners of the books.
