The last hundred years humans have drastically changed the amount of available nitrogen in nature. Today human activities release twice as much available nitrogen as all natural processes are doing together. We also have degraded nature´s possibilities to take care of nitrogen through the draining of wetlands and straightening of rivers. In order to regain the potential of nitrogen retention in the water systems there now requires a reshape of the landscape we live in. A planned expansion of the mining activities in Garpenberg, Dalarna, would double the content of nitrogen in the waters below the mine.

Poverty among children has received a great deal of attention in the media the past few years. The group in which poverty among children has increased most is among single parents; therefore we have chosen to examine this group in this study. The purpose of this study is to take part in single parents and their children?s experiences of living within a very tight budget and the strategies they use. We found it interesting to put this information in relationship to the consumer society we live in today.

Swedish migration law states that a person who wants to seek a residence permit based on family ties has to apply from the home country. This essay applies to cases when families that live in Sweden have to come apart when one parent has to return to the home country to seek a permit to which he or she is entitled.The rule causes families unnecessary suffering. This essay analyzes the reasons behind the rule and argues that it is compatible neither with Swedish policy of children's rights and gender equality nor with the international conventions that have been ratified.Furthermore, it is investigated whether the migration authorities act in compli-ance with the intentions behind the law. It is concluded that the Migration Board, despite their own critique of the rule, makes an unnecessarily restrictive interpre-tation. This results in a situation where no one takes responsibility for the conse-quences for the affected families.

Att marknadsföra sig rätt har idag blivit A och O för företag. För att överleva är det av högsta vikt att finna nya forum att placera sin reklam i. Idag finns det dock så mycket reklam som cirkulerar i samhället att företagen måste konkurrera om konsumenternas uppmärksamhet. Det gäller alltså att sticka ut och finna nya marknadsföringskanaler hela tiden. Internet och bloggar har haft en enorm genomslagskraft och i Sverige är det de temabaserade modebloggarna som står i centrum. Då bloggarna blivit så stora som de är och då bloggerskorna uppfattas som förebilder diskuteras det en hel del kring vad son skrivs i bloggarna.

Public libraries have an important roll of making information accessible to all people. This democratic right supports the cultural development in our society. When public libraries build websites offering information and services it can sometimes cause obstacles for impaired users. It is therefore our purpose to evaluate a selection of websites and library plans to examine how the libraries work with accessibility for these users. This thesis is based on theories of cognitive and human computer interaction, and information architecture.

Bakgrund: Undernäring är vanligt förekommande inom den svenska vården. Att upprätthålla en god nutritionsstatus och att få i sig tillräckligt med protein är av stor betydelse för en patients tillfrisknande. Vid sjukdom är det vanligt att aptiten minskar och att den sjuke drabbas av illamående, trötthet och smärta och därför inte vill eller orkar äta tillräckligt stora portioner med mat. Ett sätt att hjälpa svårt sjuka patienter att få i sig tillräckligt med energi är att servera en så kallad E-kost: protein- och energirik kost. E-kosten består av mer energität mat och därav mindre portioner samt en hög andel protein.Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen var att utveckla menyn för E-kost till en flerrättersmeny på ett utvalt lasarett samt att utvärdera densamma med hjälp av enkätundersökningar.Metod: En meny togs fram där lunch och middag bestod av fyra små rätter.

Syftet med denna studie är att beskriva och analysera anställdas uppfattning om förändringen av arbetstider inom sjuktransportsförvaltningen Halland. Följande frågor har ställts: Hur upplevde anställda arbetstidsförändringen inom ambulanssjukvården? På vilket sätt gavs de anställda möjlighet att vara delaktiga i arbetstidsförändringen? För att besvara dessa frågor har individuella intervjuer med sju anställda genomförts. Resultatet visar att det fanns både en positiv inställning och ett visst motstånd till förändringen. Den positiva inställningen kan förklaras genom att ledningen tagit hänsyn till åsikter som funnits angående förändringsarbetet.

In our time we can easily get information about pregnancy from books and magazines of thesubject. Mothers to be can also publish their own diaries at the Internet, so anyone can readabout their personal experience of being pregnant. All this information gives pregnant womenideas of what they can expect to experience during the pregnancy. This made me think aboutwhat kind of image, women in the past, did get from literature that described pregnancy.The purpose of this study was to examine how pregnancy and pregnant women has beendescribed in literature during the period 1940-1980. I have used various kinds of books aboutpregnancy released in: 1943, 1948, 1955, 1965,1969,1972, 1977, 1981.

The aim of this study was to examine women shelters conditions as an organization and how these conditions affect their work with children who have experienced family violence and live in their shelters. In order to achieve a more profound and comprehensive view of the women shelters and their work with these children we selected to execute a qualitative method with semi-structured interviews with collaborators from nine different shelters in Sweden. We found that the women shelter as a non-governmental organization was bicameral and complex where their work with children distinguishes on several areas. We discovered that the women shelters were an organization, affected and formed by its environment. From our empiricism we could distinguish differences on a municipality level where collaborations with schools and social services occur in a resource guided hierarchy which influences the women shelters work with children.

Stress är en primitiv reaktion som varit nödvändig för människans överlevnad då det är en naturlig respons på ett kommande hot. När omgivningen ställer krav på individen som denne inte kan hantera eller upplever vara för stora uppstår ett stresspåslag. Flertalet studier visar att studenter är en grupp i dagens samhälle som upplever mycket stress. Höga nivåer av stress bland sjuksköterskestudenter och medicinstuderande har visats sig påverka minne, koncentration samt problemlösningsförmåga, vilket i sin tur leder till försämrad inlärning och försämrade studieresultat. Studien syftade till att undersöka upplevelser av stress hos fysioterapeutstudenter och uppfattningen om hur denna stress kan påverka studier och framtida yrkesliv.

This study is about language use in text messaging. In this study there are 338 text messages: 206 of them written by girls and 132 written by boys. The informants in the study are 16 years old and they live in the countryside on the outskirts of a small town in southern Sweden. The purpose of this study was to investigate characteristic linguistic features in the messages, in order to determine what significant meaning an emoticon such as a smiley brings to a text and further, to explore what speech acts smileys occur in.The results show that the language in the messages is a mix of spoken and written language. The characteristic features that were found in the messages were short sentences, onomatopoetic expressions, words written in capital letters, English expressions and use of smileys.

A change of generations occurs several times during a company?s lifetime. It is a process that requires planning and time. If the current owner wants to keep the company within the family, he has two options; he can either sell the company to a family member, or give the company to the new owner, like a gift. When the owner sells the company, it is common that he accomplishes it to a losing price.
