Spitz nevus was first described by Sophie Spitz in 1948 as juvenile melanoma. The lesion is a benign melanocytic tumor, which consists of epiteloid- and spindelshaped cells. Histological is spitz nevus difficult to distinguish from malign melanomas and spitzoid melanomas. Loss of symmetry, loss of maturation in the deep component, nuclear polymorphism and hyper chromatic nucleus are features which can be found in melanomas. Some of these features are often seen in spitz nevus.

This report is the result of a project in the course Independent Projekt in Molecular Biotechnology at Uppsala University during the spring of 2014. The foremost purpose of the course is to give students the opportunity to carry through exstensive work in a project environment. This project was formed based on a comission from the biotechnology company SweTree Technologies, and the goal has been to compose a summary of the different techniques and methods that exist in the field of mass propagation of trees through the method of somatic embryogenesis.The project group has obtained information about the area mainly throgh reading patents, trying to find key components and bottlenecks in other companies? somatic embryogenesis technologies. This paper is divided into different sections, containing the patents of the automation of different steps in the process.

Handling, loading, transport time and unloading in connection to transport of farm animals affect animal welfare. Induced effects include both psychological and physiological stress responses in animals. The physiological parameters may be measured through blood analysis while behavioural changes often manifest themselves through increased vocalisation, escape attempts and apathy. Physiological parameters are additional parameters of importance when measuring animal stress responses. The handlers behavior during transport has been shown to have major impact on animal welfare and the quality of meat. Animal friendly handling and driving of animals create a more manageable work environment for the handlers. To further increase animal welfare in connection to transport, stables should be built with well adapted drift passage and ramps on the transport vehicle.

In Sweden there is an integration policy and a policy for national minorities. The integration policy aims to integrate newly arrived immigrants (nyanlända invandrare), whereas the minority policy aims to maintain and strengthen the rights of the national minorities. The national minorities are though, at times, included into the integration policy, even though they hold a minority status in Sweden. This paper aims to, through discourse analysis, investigate the research question: ?how is the content of integration referred to, when it is related to immigrants, contra when it is related to national minorities?.

I min uppsats vill jag undersöka vad det är som gör att man återvänder till arbetslivet. Jag har intervjuat fem kvinnor med diagnosen utbrändhet och de har alla varit långtidssjukskrivna, men har idag återvänt delvis eller helt. Dessa kvinnor är samtliga socialarbetare i 46-60 års ålder. Jag har även intervjuat medaktörer i kvinnornas sjukskrivningsprocess för att se hur de tänker och vad de kan göra för att påverka den sjukskrivna att återvända. Medaktörerna är arbetsgivaren och personalchefen från socialförvaltningen, samt försäkringskassan och företagshälsovården.

Undersökningen i detta arbete utfördes bland 69 anställda på ett företag som berörs av ett skiftformsbyte. Syftet var att undersöka hur de anställda upplever sin aktuella arbetssituation, hur de förhåller sig till det pågående förändringsarbetet samt hur de ser på sin framtida arbetssituation.Två olika metoder användes, en enkätundersökning samt djupintervjuer. Frågeformuläret besvarades av 69 personer och nio djupintervjuer utfördes.De anställda kände en trygghet i sin anställning och faktorer som lön, arbetskamrater, arbetsmiljö, relationer till ledning, upplevdes som positivt överlag. De negativa aspekterna fanns i en ökad arbetspress med minskade resurser och kontroll över arbetet. Förändringsarbetet gav positiva men till en stor del negativa reaktioner i form av motstånd, där bland annat känslor av oro och ovisshet manifesterades.

Denna studie har genomförts med hjälp av kvalitativa intervjuer med syftet att utföra en diskursanalys på hur deltagare och anställda talar om projektet Korta vägen i Uppsala.Korta vägen är ett arbetsmarknadspolitiskt projekt som syftar till att få ut utländska akademiker i arbetslivet.Våra informanter bestod av anställda inom projektet samt deltagare som nyligen fullgjort sin utbildning i Korta vägen.Frågeställningarna har varit hur deltagare och anställda talar om projektet och vilka diskurser som används och reproduceras via talet.I vårt resultat redogör vi för åtta olika diskurser som vi har kunnat urskilja utifrån vårt empiriska material. Diskurserna berör kultur, språk, nätverk, pedagogik, samhällsekonomi, praktik samt terapeutiska relationer. Resultatet visar även hur majoriteten av diskurserna går att koppla till svenskhet samt vilken betydelse svenskhet har för människors möjligheter på den svenska arbetsmarknaden.Slutligen problematiserar vi hur en exkludering på den svenska arbetsmarknaden finns inbäddad i vår samhällsstruktur, och hur vi omedvetet upprätthåller och reproducerar denna. Problematiseringen har gjorts med diskursanalytiska teorier av Foucault, Derrida och Berger och Luckmann..

This papers? objective is to examine the effects that labour market institutions (LMI) have on the unemployment in the short- and the medium run throughout the new Keynesian NAIRU theory, but also to make a comparison with the postkeynesian capital stocks? effect on the unemployment. Thus, it is this papers? main objective to study the economic effects that LMI, capital accumulation and varied macroeconomic shocks might have on unemployment. The paper uses econometric regression models as a methodological benchmark in order to estimate each independent variable?s level of significance and to approximate the effect each have on the dependent variable.

This study reflects on the swedish model and the models future. The swedish modelmeans that legisilation acts with the collective agreements . The wage issue is notregulated by law instead it is managed by the social partners in the form of collectiveagreements. In 2008, a report was presented by the Commission on a joint regulation ofthe minimum wage for all EU countries. The issue has become increasinglycontroversial and was especially disccused for the election of candidates to theEuropean Parlament last spring.

The question about how the unemployment insurance should be designed is today a veryinteresting topic. In 2007 the Swedish government introduced an increased financial fee formembers in the unemployment benefit societies. Since this the number of members in thesesocieties has decreased dramatically. At the same time Sören Öman was appointed head of acommission whose obligation was to investigate the initiation of compulsory unemploymentinsurance. In May 2008 Öman delivered a separate report describing how the initiation of theinsurance should be dealt with.

Absenteeism due to sickness has increased during the last few years and has become a serious problem of society in Sweden. Among the sick-listed there is a group that apart from being sick are also unemployed.The aim of this paper was to study if and how the unemployed seek employment when they are sick-listed. Central questions have been if the unemployed seek employment while they are sick-listed? To what extent do they seek employment? Which methods do they use and what demands do they make of their prospective jobs?The survey was based on a quantitative method and the answers that 100 unemployed sick-listed in the northwest of Skåne, Sweden gave to questionnaires. The result was analysed using a bivariate analysis in order to find patterns or obvious differences.The result showed that more than half (60 percent) of the people in the survey group used up to an hour or more per week to search for or apply for work.

Since Brand Management and Marketing in theory mainly been focusing on the consumer market, our main purpose of this essay is to analyze how a brand also can be appealing to the labour market, to attract and engage employees. Keywords attached to our essay are, brands, recruitment, Human Resource management, theories of motivation, corporate identity, employer branding and internal marketing. The study is based on a qualitative research. Our main reason for choosing this research was to get a closer insight for the phenomen and to establish a major understanding for the subject. To get a better knowledge and to answer and fulfil our purpose we have chosen to complete eight interviews, of whom six respondents representing Service firms.

Yesterdays common fertilizing strategy was to apply phosphor (P) and potassium (K) in thefall a few times in the crop rotation. In the spring only nitrogen (N) was applied. Recent trialsand studies has shown that this strategy, N+P/PK, is ineffective compared with the systemwhere NPK is spread every year in the spring. The strategy with annual NPK-fertilizer in thespring has proven to be better for the crop, the environment and the farmers economy.In the NPK-system the crop responds with higher yields and better quality, especially in thespring cereals. This is mainly because of an interaction between the different nutrients in thefertilizer.

Barley is one of the most important cereals cultivated in the Nordic countries. Climate change brings warmer and moisture climate which favors fungal diseases. In the cropland barley can be seriously infested with hard fungus attack. Since it is important that the yield bears a high quality it is of great importance to find varieties more resistant to attacks.Pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins are stress proteins induced in the plant in response to infection and abiotic stress (van Loon, 1997). PRs are shown to have antimicrobial activity differing between bacteria, fungi and oomycetes (Tandrup Poulsen, 2001).
