The Swedish armed forces are facing a change, a change in both organization and profession. From a conscript military service system, the Swedish Armed Forces has changed to having full-time contracted soldiers. Conscript military service has a history of over a hundred years; it was introduced in 1901 and has survived two world wars and the Cold War.The Swedish armed forces have changed to have contracted soldiers. My reflection is whether the armed forces really have had time for this changes that the new professionalization has meant. Today the Swedish armed forces consists of contracted soldiers, soldiers who are employed full time and costs the armed forces a lot of money.

Background: Examinations with the intent to assess neurological functions and level of conciousness are common in neurocritical care, but the effect on the patient is not entirely researched.Aim: The purpose of this study was to describe the patient?s situation at the neurological wake-up test concerning the environment, nursing interventions and the possibility given the patient to become awake, and if these conditions affect the outcome of the wake-up test.Methods: A quantitative observational study took place at a neurocritical care unit, where 20 patients were observed from interruption of sedation to the neurological assessment, which was performed by a neurosurgeon or a specialized critical care registered nurse. Nursing interventions, environmental factors and physiological parameters were documented.Result: Twelve intervention varieties to control patients? physiological parameters were used. CPP > 80 mmHg was found in 90 % of observations.

Introduction: Balance is a complicated term which includes a static, dynamic and functional part. These parts have, during a long period of time, been included into the existing training programs through several different balance exercises, which aim to prevent sports injuries mostly focused on the knee and ankle. In floorball these injuries are common and a sports injury prevention program is required.Purpose: The purpose is to explain the balance term and relate it to injury prevention training and the existing theories. A second purpose is to see whether five weeks of balance training increases the balance ability in female floorball players and thereby increase the test values in the two tests.Method: Twenty female floorball players participated in the study and were divided into a training group and a control group. They performed a Star excursion balance test (SEBT) and a Multiple single leg hop stabilization test (MSLHST) before and after a five week training period, containing exercises of balance.Results: The training group showed improvement after the training period, however only one significant result was found.

In this essay we aim at finding an appropriate flash estimator of the quarterly Swedish private consumption (PK). With the aid of the statistics program TRAMO we study if monthly data from the consumer survey (HIP) and retail industry (DH) can be used in a transfer function model (TFM) to forecast PK. In the work of assessing the state of the market and the business trend, fast information from the national accounts is needed for making decisions for the economic politics in Sweden. A way to speed up the information process is to use leading economic indicators to asses this development. Another way to get information faster is to use a flash estimate.

AbstractThis essay discusses the negotiation of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) and the process that led up to a signed agreement. The CTBT forbids all nuclear weapon test explosions and all other types of nuclear explosions. The purpose of the study was to distinguish the critical steps of the negotiations that resulted in the success of the CTBT. Based on these insights, my intention was to identify relevant events and actors in the process around the Fissile Material Cut-off Treaty (FMCT), which has been on the nuclear disarmament agenda for over a decade. Furthermore, my ambition was that the examination of the CTBT negotiation would give me some clarity in what the next step would be to get the FMCT back on track.

AbstractProblem: This thesis was made by a commission from Svensk Logistikanalys AB (SLA). SLA is a relatively new firm who is working as a freight broker for firms that wants to lower their freight costs. SLA contacted Jönköpings international business school because they experienced a problem with too many firms, that had SLA?s concept introduced to them, but turned down their services. On the basis of this, following purpose of the report has been stated.Purpose: In this thesis we will study companies that have said no to the services of SLA.

Abstract: Since the implementation of IFRS, many changes in accounting standards have occured. Companies that follow IFRS must therefore always adapt and change its accountingprinciples according to changes made by IFRS. The latest change that companies must consider and adapt to in their financial accounting is the revised version of IAS 19 regarding pensions. This study aims to investigate if there is a relationship between financial accounting and management accounting due to changes made by IASB. More specifically the study investgates how the removal of the corridormethod and the introduction of IAS 19 as an external approach has affected its management accounting in three large corporations in Sweden.

The discovered horse meat scandal has had great impact in the media and given many question marks as to how consumers should be facing meat labels. In the survey made lead consumers to ask themselves, whether they think about their consumption of reliable markings discovered at a risk and, if they have changed their consumption habits since discovered horse meat scandal. The survey was carried out in a grocery store in Karlstad city central, where the results show consistent numbers. People do not like change, and in this case, do not like to change their consumption patterns. The same patterns of consumption before and after the horse meat scandal reflects the results but with only three respondents exception.

Arbetet är en studie som syftar till att ta reda på om det finns skillnader i lärares definitioner på vad ett laborativt arbetssätt är samt hur elevers förmågor och attityder påverkas av det arbetssätt de undervisas med. Undersökningen utfördes i två klasser, den ena klassen arbetade mer traditionellt med problemlösning medan den andra klassen arbetade med nästan samma innehåll laborativt. Arbetet inleddes med en test för att ta reda på elevernas kunskaper i problemlösning. Efter den första testen fortsatte de båda grupperna med att arbeta i fyra veckor på vart sitt sätt med problemlösning. Under tiden genomfördes ett antal intervjuer med både lärare och elever.

The objective of the present study was to evaluate distillers? dried grains with solubles (DDGS) as a protein source to rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), by studying digestibility and growth measurements. One control diet, totally lacking DDGS, and three test diets were made containing 10 % (low), 31% (medium) and 51 % (high) DDGS respectively on dry matter (DM) basis. The control diet and the test diets were made to be as nutritionally equal as possible. Wheat bran was used to balance the fiber content of the diets.

This paper examines how and if the understanding of wedding photography has changed during the shift of technology - from analog to digital photography. It examines if the changed conditions due to the shift of technology have changed the habits and conditions for the photographers working with wedding photography. It furthermore examines what impact these habits and conditions have had on the pictures of weddings. The investigation is based on interviews of six photographers that have worked professionally before and after the shift of technology, as well as of pictures by the photographers taken before and after the shift of technology.Use of time and space has changed due to the shift of technology. The change has also had an influence on hierarchy among the photographers.

Problem: Använder sig fondförvaltare av ett markant ökat risktagande för att försöka återta förlorad avkastning relativt konkurrenter? Vilka incitament kan leda till en förändring i riskjusteringen? Finns det några faktorer som har samband med riskjusteringen eller är fondförvaltarens riskbeteende slumpartat? Hur väl överensstämmer våra resultat med tidigare studier inom området för vår undersökning? Syfte: Vårt huvudsyfte är att undersöka om det föreligger någon skillnad i förändring av risknivå mellan de fonder som har lägre avkastning än medianen och de fonder som har högre avkastning än medianen. Vårt delsyfte är att försöka förklara medelriskjusteringen under andra halvan av året för de fonder vars avkastning hamnade under medianen för avkastningen under första halvan av året; givet att en sådan förändring föreligger. Metod: Vi utförde först en studie av befintlig teori inom området. Test av turneringshypotesen med hjälp av c2-metoden genomfördes på 41 stycken svenska aktiefonder.

Syftet med studien är att sammanställa information kring genetiska metoders roll i svensk hunduppfödning. Studien innehåller ett historiskt perspektiv på dagens genetiska pool, hälsotillståndet hos svenska rashundar, genetiska sjukdomar bland hundar, samt i vilken utsträckning vi kan påverka hundens hälsotillstånd och mentala tillstånd. Det finns olika typer av urvalsmetoder som används i hunduppfödning såsom markörbaserat test, mutationbaserat test samt traditionell fenotypbaserad avel. Studien har för avsikt att inkludera flera perspektiv då genetiska tester och hundavel påverkas av ett flertal aktörer, såsom Svenska Jordbruksverket, Svenska Kennelklubben, hunduppfödare, rasklubbar och laboratorier. Beroende på hur man tolkar Jordbruksverkets föreskrifter från 2008, kan Jordbruksverket och Svenska Kennelklubben vara på kollisionskurs.

Test Driven Development (TDD) är en utvecklingsteknik där testning ses som ennaturlig del i utvecklingsprocessen och där tillvägagångssättet hjälper utvecklaren attsektionera upp programkoden till mindre och mer hanterbara delar. På så sätt gerTDD utvecklare ett stöd under programmeringsfasen så att de får fram ren ochflexibel kod som är enkel att ändra och felsöka. TDD som teknik underlättar ävenmöjligheterna att utveckla koden inom den tidsram som finns i och med attbetungande testfaser, som i traditionella metodiker och tekniker kan blitidsavgörande, istället integreras som en naturlig del i utvecklingsprocessen. Syftetmed denna uppsats är att belysa de fördelar som finns med att använda TDD vidutveckling av nya applikationer. Vi ska ge utvecklarna som är involverade iprogrammeringsfasen argument till varför TDD bör tillämpas vid utveckling avapplikationer och hur TDD kan vara ett hjälpmedel för att uppnå en bättrekodstruktur/design för applikationen.
