This thesis has examined the Tekla Structures modeling software and answered the question of whether it could act as a suitable modeling program for the design department at Bjerking AB in Uppsala. The method used in this work is a case study of a previous project with existing basis to work form. The demarcation of the study was to examine only the usability of the foundations of in situ concrete. The work examined three main areas within the design process. The first was to model the concrete elements then to model the reinforcing and ultimately production of the drawings. Because Autodesk Revit was the existing modeling program in the Department conducted the evaluation as a comparison between the two programs.

Förlossningssvårigheter förekommer hos ca 16 % av alla dräktiga tikar. Av dessa behandlas de flesta kirurgiskt med kejsarsnitt. Inom kirurgin används vanligen NSAID-preparat (Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) vid smärtlindring som till exempel carprofen (Rimadyl® vet). I FASS vet anges dock att carprofen inte ska ges till dräktiga eller lakterande tikar eftersom det för djurslaget hund saknas vetenskaplig dokumentation över i vilken grad carprofen passerar ut i mjölken. Hos nötkreatur däremot finns studier som visar att substansen övergår i så ringa grad i mjölken att nivåerna kan vara svåra att detektera.

The aim of this study was to investigate preschool teacher?s perceptions about the curriculum goal concerning simple chemical processes. The result was based on narratives received by a qualitative study and semi-structured interviews of six preschool teachers. The results of the study showed that preschool teachers perceive that they actually are working in a relatively small scale with simple chemical processes and they do not really know what simple chemical processes are, and do not feel very familiar with the subject. Water, dough, mud, paint and baking were the most common activities that were used when working towards the curricular goal. However, it was never explained to the children that it was simple chemical processes they were working with during the activities, neither was it discussed among colleagues because of the uncertainty about the concept.

The first information recruiters have access to, when recruiting a new co-worker is the applicant´s CV. It may even happen that the applicants are sending a photo with the CV, which can lead to the possibility that the appearance of the applicant will affect the assessment. Previous research shows that individuals who are regarded as beautiful get a better assessment than those who are considered to be ugly or mediocre looking, but if this can be prevented through awareness, the problem can easily be counteracted. The purpose of this thesis is to, through an experimental study, investigate whether recruiters can avoid being affected by the applicant?s appearance in the assessment of their CV if they receive information about the stereotypical thinking that is tied to a person's appearance.

Bakgrund: Crohns sjukdom och ulcerös kolit är två huvudtyper som utmärker inflammatorisk tarmsjukdom. Inflammatorisk tarmsjukdom påverkar mag- och tarmkanalen och har ett oförutsägbart sjukdomsförlopp. Inflammatorisk tarmsjukdom debuterar vanligtvis i åldern 15-30 och kan ge ogynnsamma konsekvenser i personens dagliga aktiviteter eftersom han eller hon är upptagen med att exempelvis studera, skapa karriär eller bilda familj. Sjukdomarna har flera gemensamma särdrag där de förekommer i så kallade skov med perioder med försämring då tarmslemhinnan blir inflammerad och sårig, vilket leder till symtom som exempelvis blodiga eller slemmiga diarréer, viktnedgång, buksmärtor och trötthetSyfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att beskriva konsekvenser av att leva med Crohns sjukdom eller Ulcerös kolit hos vuxna personer.Metod: En litteraturöversikt. En litteratursökning gjordes som ledde till sex granskade artiklar.

AbstractDuring my university trip to South Africa I visit a black township called Lingehlile. There I examined the life situation and education for children and youth with mentally disabilities.

The subjects that I have handled are a school for all, support for the person with mentally disabilities and their family, the opinion of the society, education and life after school. I got my result by two interviews.

AbstractWrite the most important things first in text that will be read by a scanning web user. This paper is based upon theories about? how we read? what style in texts is? how texts should be written for web pagesReading from computer screens is about 25 percent slower than reading from paper.

To establish good horse welfare there are several factors that need to be considered. One important factor is the environment in which the horses are kept. In Sweden horses are stabled during long periods of time in the cold season and consequently the stable environment is even more important. The most essential environmental factors in a horse stable are ambient temperature, relative humidity (RH) and concentrations of contaminants in the stable air. The air in a horse stable contains dust, noxious gases, moulds and microorganisms which all can contribute to developing respiratory diseases in horses.
