Benskörhet - Osteoporos är en sjukdom som ökat lavinartat. Idag finns ingen bot, även om forskarna har gjort stora framsteg. En vanlig åsikt är att osteoporos är resultatet av förlorad benmassa, vilket inträffar när människan åldras. Har inte individen nått upp till sin optimala mängd benmassa (peak bone mass) under uppväxten, kan de drabbas av osteoporos utan accelererande benförlust Forskarna menar att den enskilde individen kan till en stor del påverka hur skelettet utformas. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie är att sammanställa riskfaktorer och preventiva åtgärder för barns och ungdomars benhälsa.

Periods of hypoxia are a recurring issue in Brunnsviken. Main factors that trigger hypoxia in Brunnsviken are eutrophication  due to anthropogenic emission of nutrients, stratification in the water column due to salinity and temperature differences  that prevents mixing and a sill inlet that prevents water exchange. As an attempt to improve the oxygen levels, bottom water is pumped from Brunnsviken causing aerated surface water to flow back into the basin.  The objective of this Master?s thesis was to study the change in dissolved oxygen levels due to pumping.

The aim of this essay is to investigate how a demarcation is made between employees? right to religious freedom next to employers? interest in running their enterprise in an efficient way. Case law shows that the Arrowsmith-principle forum internum and forum externum could be used when a demarcation has to be made. Furthermore, case law shows that that the employee?when accepting a contract of employment?have accepted certain restrictions of his or her religious freedom.

There is an ongoing discussion amongst Swedish politicians about how the Swedish police will be able to handle increased organised criminality represented in the growing threats of terrorism. In May 2006 representatives from the seven parties of the Swedish parliament debated the question whether the Swedish security service and Swedish police should be permitted to use increased surveillance with the purpose of preventing severe criminality.The question of increased surveillance is a matter often connected to matters of personal privacy. The aim of this master?s thesis is to study which arguments are being used for and against the proposed law that would permit surveillance with the purpose of preventing crime, as well as examine members of Parliaments view on privacy.The methodology used in this thesis is both argumentation analysis and rhetoric analysis. These two tools are used to examine the minutes from a parliamentary debate about the bill mentioned earlier.

The aim of this paper is to shed some light on to what extent the process of making reality of Inclusion, as stated in International Declarations and in Government policies, has reached the actual educational activities in the school system. My chosen method is a case study, in which I have combined a survey with interviews in order to retrieve enough data for my analysis. I have also studied a number of policy documents and relevant literature. My analysis concludes, for the school that I have chosen to study, that there is still a lot to be done before inclusion becomes a reality. There are many obstacles to overcome, for instance; a constant struggle to obtain enough resources and to reach relevant levels of competence within the personnel.

In this work we?ve been focusing on how to adjust educational computer games in order to make them suited for the educational context of upper secondary school. Our opinion and entrance to the study is that the related developers of the subject, in some ways, have failed to successfully combine and find the balance between the entertaining and pedagogical aspects in the games. Our main questions is which aspects in the games game developers need to take in consideration to satisfy the pupils, but also what qualities that is needed for them to function in their educational context. In order to do that we had to investigate the people of the target groups own perspective on what technological and social aspects in the computer games they assess as important.

Denna uppsats syftar till att dels skapa förståelse för hur lagidrottsmän upplever sitt yrke och sin vardag men också att skapa förståelse för hur dessa tänker kring framtiden då deras yrken präglas av korta karriärer. För att uppnå undersökningens syfte formulerades fyra frågeställningar: I vilken mån går tankarna om det goda arbetet att applicera på idrottsmän som arbetar inom lagidrott? Inkräktar yrkessfären något på den privata sfären? Om så, på vilka sätt? Hur ser dessa personer på framtiden och livet efter idrottskarriären? Vad motiverar lagidrottare i sitt yrke? Utgångspunkt i undersökningen har varit litteratur kopplad till tankarna om det goda arbetet, exempelvis Svenska metallindustriarbetareförbundets nio principer om det goda arbetet, Karaseks krav- och kontrollmodell samt work-life balance. Tidigare studier och litteratur som berör essensen; att leva som idrottsman berörs dessutom. Vi har använt en kvalitativ metod och utifrån befintliga teorier har sex intervjuer med lagidrottare inom fotboll och ishockey genomförts. Resultatet av intervjuerna redovisas genom övergripande återgivningar samt citat och analyseras därefter utifrån studiens teoretiska referensram. I slutsatsen återges studiens frågeställningar som också besvaras.

Stroke är en av våra stora folksjukdomar. Cirka 30 000 personer insjuknar årligen i Sverige. Många av dessa personer får även droppfot. Peroneusstimulering började användas för första gången 1961. Tekniken är nu generellt känd som Funktionell Elektrisk Stimulering (FES).

Örebro UniversityDepartment of Social SciencesSociology and social psychology, Continuation course, 61-90 p.Essay 15 p, Spring -08.Title: ?Youth (work)seekers?Author: Karolina LindellAbstractThis essay focuses on young people?s social background when they apply for their first job. I have interviewed four young people from a small town in Sweden, to see how social background and identity affects their vital conditions in general. I?m interested understanding the relationship between structure and agency.

Our post-modern society is being continually more characterized by the working life, where corporate relations and the understanding of human momentum, limitations and knowledge is the basis of the quality of the corporation. In other words, it is of the greatest importance to keep in mind the attitudes, behaviour, stress levels and motivations that constitute a good working environment. We find it interesting to study what social psychological approaches and social processes could be of importance to good cooperation. The research has its starting point in a qualitative method focused on semi- structured interviews, where we have interviewed eight respondents working within the psychiatry. The research has strengthened our pre-understanding but also made clear the existence of other social processes and approaches that affect cooperation.

The purpose of this essay is to study the coming into being of two newly built public libraries in Sweden, Malmö public library and Linköping public library. In both cases, the architect was appointed through a competition. We have examined the degree of importance that one has put on the buildings functionality and aesthetics, respectively. Furthermore we have studied how the cooperation between library staff and the architects has worked, and finally we have studied to which degree the parties involved think that the interests of the users has been taken into concern. The first main chapter of the report is an overview of the literature found on the subject where we present theories on library architecture used in Sweden as well as abroad.

Prisons are for many an unknown world, and few know about the prison culture which includes unwritten rules, power structures, interactions and relationships between inmates and correctional employees.While many think that Swedish prisons are too comfortable,inmates are facing extreme stress due to surveillance and detention, by depriving inmates their possibility to shape their own lives. When the inmates is deprived of control over their own life?s the penal system have great power to shape and to influence the inmates.The purpose of this paper is to investigate prisoners' experiences of treatment and exercise of power in prisons. Starting point is to examine what are the kinds of relationships between prison officers and inmates from a power perspective, if there is any difference between the closed and open prisons and how the inmates affected by the structures that exist.Based on my overall purpose, and with my informant´s stories which revealed a number of similar points, four main headings were developed; Mass media and society´s view, and unknown world, interaction between inmates and prison officers and consequences.Prison officers with the role as a contact persons as well and other staff which work close to the inmates play a significant role by supporting through motivational interviewing and can help the inmates to gain insight about their life situation and actions. My informant?s underlined that a good contact person can either help or discourage.Inmates who contributed with their experiences express that there is a big difference between open-and closed prisons.

Due to increasing product availability and higher demands on fast deliveries, the competition between companies is growing. To be able to satisfy the customers? requests an efficient logistics system with short throughput time is required. By using tools associated with Lean production companies are able to make great improvements in their manufacturing systems and reduce lead times to satisfy customer demands.There are two classifications associated with manufacturing, high variety and low volume (HVLV) and low volume and high variety (LVHV). The general belief is that the concept of Lean production is difficult to implement in a production environment with high variety and low volume due to the concept being adapted to mass production.

Den svenska byggbranschen står idag inför ett vägskäl, börja basera produktionsplaneringen på bygginformationsmodeller (BIM) eller att fortsätta genomföra planeringen på traditionellt vis. Tidigare har det inte funnits programvara som har haft funktionaliteten att koppla ihop hela processen från BIM till en produktionstidplan. På senare tid har det kommit program som klarar av processen, därmed har ett antal byggföretag börjat se nyttan av att ta tillvara på den information som finns i BIM från projekteringen och använda den för produktionen. Arbetet har genomförts hos entreprenadföretaget Veidekke. Det är ett av företagen som vill börja utnyttja informationen som finns tillgänglig i BIM, för produktionsplanering.

Syftet med vår studie har varit att undersöka teaterns roll för skapandet av identitet hos deltagarna i en teatergrupp på Kvartersteatern i Halmstad. Vår samlade frågeställning är att undersöka hur teatern som forum påverkar deltagarnas identitet. Vi har genom våra metoder fått ett rikligt material till att kunna skriva en kvalitativ uppsats om teaterns roll i skapandet av identitet.Vi började vårt arbete på Kvartersteatern genom att ha en första kontakt med en av ledarna på teatern, efter det första mötet så hade vi fått en bild av teatern och dess verksamhet. Vi gjorde sedan deltagande observationer vid tre tillfällen vilka följdes upp med kvalitativa intervjuer. Vi gjorde en intervju med en av ledarna sedan ytterligare sju intervjuer med teaterutövarna.Vi har i vårt socialpsykologiska analytiska arbete använt oss av fyra olika teorier, varav en av dem har fungerat som huvud teori.
