The scope of this investigation is to decide how and to what extent the energy consumption of apassive house is affected by the users? knowledge and habits. To achieve this a literary study hasbeen made and as a complement the planning of a passive house was completed.The result of a primary study of the rules and regulations that effect passive houses in Swedenshows that the user?s influence on passive houses is a completely unregulated area. Even thoughthere is no regulation, a need for some general knowledge of the passive house concept has beenexpressed.To further investigate how the users? knowledge and habits affect the energy consumption and ifthere is a difference between different households? energy consumption , three main factors havebeen identified.

Several studies indicate that Swedish men consume more meat than women, more frequently appear in advertisements for meat and more often than women handle the grilling of meat. Production of meat is one of the largest contributors to greenhouse-gas emissions and thereby poses a challenge for ecological sustainability. Several Swedish politicians and authorities have argued that reduced meat consumption is necessary to prevent continued global climate change. To understand and change consumption patterns we need to understand the consumer. This essay uses textual analysis to examine how Swedish men through text and images in three cookbooks use preparation and consumption of meat to construct different masculinities.

In the production of pulp, paper and cardboard, a large amount of water is used daily. The water has to be purified in the internal purifying plant before it reaches the receiving body of water. In the biological purifying stage at the Stora Enso Skoghall mill, an aerated basin is used where the microorganisms, using oxygen, oxidize the organic material to carbon dioxide. The air is pumped from the bottom of the basin and the oxygen can then be transported from the air bubbles to the water through diffusion. The problem with aeration of waste water from the forest industry is that wood residues, such as fatty acids, are making the transport of oxygen in water more difficult.

Today, we live in a consumption society. We buy products to soothe our needs and desires. Thru material things we can express our own personal identity and shopping is seen more as a pleasure than a need to survive. With the background media- and communication studies, the reason of this study was to explore how blogs as a social medium can influence the consumption ideal in society. With dialogical analysis and semiotic analysis we wanted to see if we could find a specific consumption culture in the content of six blogs we did our studies on. We found that the blogs showed us that there is normal to have everyday luxury and spoil oneself with expensive things.

Inom sjukgymnastiken används mätning av muskelstyrka för att utvärdera och planera rehabiliteringsperioder. Isokinetiska dynamometrar och one repetition maximum (1RM) är två vanliga metoder för att mäta muskelstyrka. Efter en skada på främre korsbandet (ACL) sker en muskelatrofi av bland annat mm. quadriceps och hamstringsmuskulaturen och det är därför viktigt att kunna utvärdera dessa muskler. Genesis Single är en ny tränings- och utvärderingsmaskin på vilken inga tidigare studier gjorts.

Syfte och frågeställningar: Syftet med studien var att undersöka hos vältränade om det fanns något samband mellan maximal styrka, effektutveckling och snabbhet, dvs tester som till stor del speglar anaerob kapacitet. Syftet var också att undersöka om det här fanns någon skillnad och/eller likhet mellan kvinnor och män.(1) Hur ser det eventuella sambandet ut mellan effektutveckling och maximal styrka? (2) Hur ser det eventuella sambandet ut mellan effektutveckling och snabbhet? (3) Hur ser det eventuella sambandet ut mellan maximal styrka och snabbhet? (4) Hur ser det eventuella sambandet ut, på ovanstående frågeställningar, hos kvinnor och män?Metod: Metoden var kvantitativ och laborativ, utformad för att undersöka det eventuella sambandet mellan snabbhet, maximal styrka och effektutveckling ? Detta testades genom tre olika fysiologiska tester. Testerna genomfördes på en grupp bestående av 10 män (ålder 24,4±2,8 år, kroppsvikt 78,9±9,7 kg och längd 175,6±7,5 cm) och 10 kvinnor (ålder 24,1±1,7 år, kroppsvikt 65±8,0 kg och längd 167±5,7 cm) som var vältränade men hade olika idrottsbakgrund. Målet var att, utifrån den undersökta gruppen, kunna göra uttalanden om en större population.

To build a sustainable future should we first understand that; every aspect of our daily lives can affect the environment. It?s important that we take responsibility for understanding how we impact the environment and change our actions accordingly. The worlds total energy consumption equivalent to 80 million MWh / year. This corresponds to about 220 million MWh / day.Energy consumption is one of the main reasons for increased greenhouse gases when the reduction of this consumption has a great demand worldwide.In order to prevent the energy that consumed the buildings must be energy efficient but there is a conflict between radon ventilation and energy conservation in a building, given that ventilation can consume as much energy (currently 29-59% of energy-efficient houses use), especially in a cold climate as in Norway.

The aim of this study is to investigate the prevalence of computer consumption among boys in ninth grade, and to see if there were any differences with regards to physical activity, sleeping habits, breakfast habits and BMI. The study has cross sectional design with a comparative and a quantitative structure and is based on a former study called ?Food & Health 2007?.  The respondents were represented by 181 boys in ninth grade, recruited from ten different schools in the county of Uppsala, who were answering questions about media consumption, breakfast habits, physical activity and sleeping habits. Daily computer consumption was reported up to one hour for 12 % of the respondents, one to three hours for 65 % and over three hours for 42 %. The boys who had a high physical activity level were less frequent in computer consumption while those who had a low physical activity level spent more time by the computer.

I denna litteraturstudie granskades 4 vetenskapliga artiklar med syfte att undersöka patienters upplevelser av hyperbar oxygenbehandling (HBO behandling) för att lyfta fram vad man som omvårdnadspersonal bör ha i åtanke inför initiala behandlingar. HBO behandling är en behandlingsmetod där koncentrerad oxygen administreras till patienter. Behandling med HBO får ofta pågå under längre tid för att uppnå läkande effekter i exempelvis fall av hypoxiska svårläkta sår. Ett av de initiala problem som kan ge obehagskänslor är att behandlingen tar plats i tryckkammare, vilket för många är en främmande miljö. Flertalet patienter har av denna anledning valt att avstå ifrån behandling.

A large proportion of the energy consumption is in the building industry and a large part goes to heating our homes and premises. In the developing countries' development now threatens the large consumption of energy in our earth's climate. It is in the West world that we must be good role models in terms of energy efficiency. One solution to reduce energy consumption for heating of buildings may be to continue to build low energy houses and passive houses, but it is also about rebuilding the buildings that currently have high energy consumption such as the old Million program Houses. These buildings will be standing many years and their energy consumption will not diminish over time by itself and energy prices will certainly not diminish in the future.

Abstract Titel: Det svenska konsumtionsbeteendet ? En ekonometrisk analys av den permanenta inkomsthypotesenTopic/course: NEKK01, Bachelor thesisWriters: Ida Hedlund, Anna Persdotter Supervisor: Fredrik NG Andersson Keywords: Permanent income hypothesis, Milton Friedman, Consumption smoothing, Sweden Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to examine whether the permanent income hypothesis can be applied on the consumption pattern of Sweden during the time period 1950-2006. Method: To do the observation an econometric regression analysis has been made. The variables tested are consumption, real GDP, stock- and real estate market prices. In the model three different time periods have been investigated to facilitate the origin of different patterns.

Sustainable beef and milk consumption. The consumption of beef and dairy products in Sweden is high. A lot of greenhouse gases are emitted from the production of these products. The production of beef in Sweden has decreased but the import has increased. The number of dairy cows has decreased while beef-production with suckler-cows has increased in Sweden.

The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the variation in the maximal discrimination of the interaction between cognate and a non-cognate codon and anti-codon (also called the d-value). The variation was analyzed with a multiple regression model with the d-value as the dependent variable and with the codon position and the different mRNA and tRNA bases as independent variables. The result of the analysis not only confirmed earlier studies that the maximal accuracy was highest in the second codon position and lowest in the third codon position but we also found significant relationships and interaction effects..

Personer som tränar styrketräning lyfter ofta för lätt och slutar lyfta för tidigt för att uppnå önskat träningsresultat. Syftet med studien var att testa hur prestationen vid styrketräning påverkas då målsättningen att uppnå maximal ansträngning används i jämförelse med att använda målsättningen att prestera maximalt antal repetitioner. Tolv män och 20 kvinnor randomiserades till två grupper. AMRAP-gruppen försökte prestera maximalt antal repetitioner och RPE-gruppen försökte uppnå maximal ansträngning. För att mäta hur prestation påverkas av målsättning beräknades relativ förändring mellan set 1, i vilket båda grupperna försökte prestera maximalt antal repetitioner, och set 2, i vilket grupperna använde respektive angiven målsättning.
