The study aimed to evaluate the information and training the stoma therapist at Uppsala University Hospital has given to patients who have recently undergone stoma surgery. The study was a descriptive cross-sectional study using qualitative and quantitative design. A total of 22 patients who completely or partially took care of their stomas and recently had undergone stoma surgery participated by answering a questionnaire. At discharge most of them experienced they were relatively well-informed but they wanted more information. Before the revisit they weren?t especially safe or comfortable.

Perch (Perca fluviatilis) is a very popular fish in Sweden and it is common in Swedish waters. In some areas along the Swedish coast the perch population has decreased. It is therefore important to get a view at the health status of perch. During April, July and August of 2008, a total of 346 perches were caught in the Gump Bay in the Botnian Sea. The fish were mainly caught by net but also by rod.

Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an umbrella term for ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. These are characterized by a chronic inflammation of the intestinal mucosa. Living with chronic illness meant that life changed significantly. Quality of life was affected for these individuals and was stressful in their lives. Aim: The aim was to describe the experiences of living with inflammatory bowel disease. Method: A qualitative literature review was chosen to analyze articles that were related to the aim of this study. Results: Based on the chosen articles five themes were created; Commuting between hope and fear, symptoms of the disease and medication become everyday focus, struggling with  the new identity, desire to control the disease- do I control my illness or does it control me and social relationships are affected. Conclusion: Inflammatory bowel disease is a distressing disease and can cause limitations in social life due to lack of knowledge by others about the disease. The affected felt a loss of control in their life due to the difficulty in managing the symptoms.

Bakgrund och problem: Varumärken har fått en ökad ekonomisk betydelse under de senaste 25 åren, främst i samband med en kraftig ökning av företagsförvärv. Dock kvarstår problematiken med att värdera varumärken på ett, enligt redovisningsstandarder, tillförlitligt sätt. Aktievärdet på företag utgörs i olika utsträckning av varumärken som inte finns redovisade på balansräkningen samtidigt som IFRS säger att varumärken skall skiljas från goodwill vid ett förvärv, men internt upparbetade varumärken får inte redovisas. Arbete med en ISO-standard för varumärkesvärderingen har påbörjats, och det arbetet går i linje med den ökade harmoniseringen som standardsättare sedan införandet av IFRS arbetat med. Syfte: Uppsatsen har som syfte att undersöka den flora av värderingsmetoder som finns samt att bilda en uppfattning kring attityderna till värderingsproblematiken och om en harmonisering kan bli möjlig genom standardisering.

Ultrasound is a diagnostic aid often overlooked by the veterinary practicioner who works with farm-animals. However, it?s use increases, particulary for breeders where ultrasound has long been used to evaluate ovaries and to diagnose pregnancy or disturbances in reproduction. There is much knowledge in how to examine ovaries and uterus by transrectal ultrasound, but when it comes to doing ultrasound of other organs in the abdomen the knowledge is more limited. Cows are very large animals, so it is not possible to examine everything inside the abdomen with ultrasound, simply because the ultrasound beam has a limited penetration. There is also lots of gas inside the gastro-intestinal tract of a cow, mainly in the large intestine and the rumen, and that makes it impossible to examine the organs behind the gas since the ultrasound waves are reflected when reaching the soft tissue-gas interface.

Förändrade förutsättningar i dagens samhälle har lett till att personal- styrkan blir en allt viktigare konkurrensfördel. Detta i sin tur har lett till att allt större kraft läggs på att styra personalstyrkan. Vilket har fått uttryck i en växande flora av personalekonomiska teorier. En aspekt som berör styrningen av personalstyrkan, är rekryteringen av denna. Flera rapporter tyder på att rekrytering är en betydande kostnad.

Proliferative enteropathy is a group of disease conditions in pigs where the disease may vary from subclinical to critical with bloody loose feces. The etiological agent is the obligate intracellular bacteria Lawsonia intracellularis. L. intracellularis infects enterocytes from jejunum to colon. The bacteria is taken into cells and start to replicate and cause a massive proliferation of immature enterocytes.

Semi-natural grasslands are threatened biotopes in the landscape and without conservation measures high values of nature will be lost. Meanwhile, the biological values associated with cultural values of the traditional agricultural landscape in Sweden. Studies of land use history may help to understand how today biological diversity has evolved and how it can be preserved. Färsna farm in Norrtälje has left some of the old heritage of biological diversity in the form of nature - forest and grassland, which hosts an unusual herb-rich flora. Through the study of historic maps and från1673/1767/1801/1901 1952 and orthophoto of the area has a picture of how land use has changed over time emerged.

Ändamålet med detta examensarbete har varit att ta fram ett gestaltningsförslag för en cirkulationsplats i Uddevalla i linje med kommunens slogan Hjärtat i Bohuslän. Ett syfte har också varit att utifrån ett Bohuslänskt växtmaterial skapa en attraktiv vägmiljö med mål att minska de skötselinsatser som i dagsläget krävs. Litteraturstudier har genomförts och informationen har legat till grund för platsens utformning. Här är havsstranden den främsta huvudmiljön i förslaget och de vegetationstyper som ansetts mest relevanta för gestaltningen har stått som inspirationskälla. Litteraturen har delats upp och riktats inom de områden som ansetts mest väsentliga för utformningen. Skisser på plats, fotografering och en mindre inventering har genomförts för ökad förståelse av platsen. Resultatet blev en gestaltning med stenblock och svarttall som bas, en naturlik vägmiljö.

This thesis deals with the legislative problem of thin and thick capitalization of subsidiary companies situated abroad. This kind of companies are often used for tax planning purposes, as means for transferring company profit from a high tax state to a low tax state. Today, the legislative flora around the world mainly focuses on the question"how low/high can the capitalization level of the company be, before thin/thick capitalization can be considered to be at hand?". Instead, this thesis raises the question"how far from the optimal capitalization rate is a probable capitalization level for a company, and can this be an alternative approach to legislation?".

Lunds kommun har under några somrar tillbaka inventerat olika faunagrupper i olika naturområden i Genarp, en mindre ort som ligger cirka 2,5 mil sydöst om Lund. Under dessa somrar (2007-2010) hittades och registrerades nio olika rödlistade insektsarter i Blüchers park, ett naturområde med en mosaik av olika naturtyper på sandunderlag. Blüchers park är cirka 2,7 hektar stort och ligger i Genarps östra del. Detta arbete kompletterar de ovan nämnda insektsinventeringarna med en florainventering av Blüchers park. Syftet med arbetet är dels att söka förståelse till varför funna kärlväxter i Blüchers park växer där de växer, dels att ta reda på vilka skötselåtgärder som skulle kunna vara lämpliga i området, det vill säga hur förekomsten av funna rödlistade insektsarter kan komma att gynnas genom olika floraskötselåtgärder.Under juni-augusti 2011 återfanns 175 kärlväxtarter i Blüchers park.

2. SUMMARY A small garden exposed to a harsh coastal climate can be difficult to design. Limitations in space and in plant varieties increase the needs of an in-depth knowledge to achieve wanted goals. In this degree project the challenge has been to create a functional and position adapted garden for a very small beach house lot in Mölle, a little harbour village at the south coast of Kullaberg. ?Villa Malm?, is situated directly on the bedrock in a close settlement where the gardens, in most cases are very small and exposed to strong salty winds.

Många våtmarker i slättbygder har under 1900-talet dikats ut och lagts om till åkermark, samtidigt som de kvarvarande fått ta emot allt mer näringsämnen från omgivande marker. Kärr i områden med kalkberggrund är oftast artrika, med flera växt- och djurarter knutna till just dem. Därför är de viktigt att de sköts på ett långsiktigt hållbart sätt. Bernstorps mosse ligger strax utanför Malmö i ett område som präglas av både intensivt jordbruk och utbyggnaden av varuhus och industrier. Uppsatsens syfte har varit att granska hur kärrets sköts just nu och vad som eventuellt kan göras bättre i skötselarbetet.

Land management for food production is a fundamental human activity and one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century will be to increase the global food to accommodate a world growing to 10 billion or more people, while undergoing climate change. The increasing temperature and the current and projected increase in concentrations of CO2 lead to concern over possible impacts on agricultural pests. This assay is summarizing the knowledge of weeds in a changing climate in Sweden. Global warming and other climatic changes will affect the growth, phenology, and geographical distribution of weeds. The climate change will also affect the weed composition indirect by causing changes in the agriculture.
