Human-animal interaction is suggested to be a main feature within livestock production. The quality of handling, for instance, appears to be greatly depending on the attitudes and behaviour of the stock people. Various studies have been conducted on relationships between human and animals, but few have looked upon differences in human-animal interaction and attitudes between countries. Two countries often discussed in livestock production are The Netherlands and Sweden. It would be of interest to compare these two countries to find out whether (assumed) differences are reflected in the attitudes between animal handlers.

This article presents a retrospective case study combined with a review of the current literature concerning canine gestational diabetes. A total of 14 cases have been collected from six different clinics in Sweden. There are few previously published reports on canine gestational diabetes. Gestational diabetes is a disease that rarely occurs in pregnant bitches. The condition is due to the rise of progesterone that occurs during the estrus cycle.

Sammanfattning Bakgrund: Bemo?tande a?r viktigt fo?r patienters upplevelse av va?rden. Inom va?rden handlar bemo?tande framfo?rallt om hur sjuksko?terskan pa? ett respektfullt sa?tt kommunicerar och bemo?ter patienter och na?rsta?ende. Va?rden skall bedrivas med respekt och utga? fra?n att alla ma?nniskor har lika va?rde oavsett ko?n, a?lder och etnicitet.Syfte: Att beskriva kvinnliga och manliga patienters uppfattningar av bemo?tande inom ha?lso- och sjukva?rden.Metod: Litteraturstudie med systematisk so?kning med en deskriptiv design.

A discussion regarding the alignment and measuring procedure of propeller shafts has arose due to the competing situation in the industry, and higher standards from the customers. An estimation of the deflection of shafts in different alignment situations has been made with help of FEM-analysis and beam theory. This has been analyzed and compared with the experience from Rolls-Royce AB suppliers of shafts. An evaluation of measuring protocols has been made and the result indicates that there is a correlation between the deflection of the shaft and the run out. Results from a measuring test performed by Balino, Spain, verifies this conclusion.

Bakgrund: Att v?rda barn med cancer i palliativt skede inneb?r sv?ra utmaningar f?r sjuksk?terskor. Sjuksk?terskor har ett ansvar att lindra fysiskt och psykiskt lidande och f?rmedla tr?st och trygghet till barnet och dess familj. Barnkonventionen ligger till grund f?r sjuksk?terskans omv?rdnadsarbete inom palliativ v?rd som str?var efter att fr?mja barns livskvalitet och v?rdighet.

Bakgrund: Patienter som upplever sexuell oha?lsa ka?nner ofta ett behov av information och vill prata om sina problem med va?rdpersonal. Sjuksko?terskor a?r ansvariga att hantera sexuellt relaterade fra?gor och problem, men trots att det fo?rva?ntas av dem att initiera dessa samtal, visar forskning att det sa?llan sker. Syfte: Att sammansta?lla och belysa forskning som beskriver hur samtal om sexualitet med patienter fra?mjas bland sjuksko?terskor.

Fo?religgande studie syftar till att underso?ka fonologisk fo?rma?ga samt samla referensdata till kortversionen av det fonologiska bedo?mningsmaterialet Linko?pingsunderso?kningen (LINUS) fo?r svenska barn i a?ldersgruppen 4?5 a?r. Totalt medverkade 70 barn, 43 flickor och 27 pojkar (medela?lder 54 ma?nader). Barnen rekryterades pa? fo?rskolor i omra?den som la?g na?ra det socioekonomiska medelva?rdet fo?r riket.

Fritid beskrivs av ungdomar som na?got som skapar mening i tillvaron. Musiken a?r en stor del av denna fritid. Ma?nga ungdomar lyssnar pa? musik, och en del la?gger fritiden pa? att sja?lva musicera.

The dog has often served as a model animal for humans in scientific studies. This is due to the fact that dogs are susceptible to a wide range of diseases which also affect humans. One example is cancer, a condition that affects dogs as well as owners. Neoplastic diseases account for 18-23 % of all deaths in dogs (Bonnet et al., 2005 and Jagielski et al., 2002). Mammary tumor, or tumor of the breast, is the most common tumor form in intact dogs and women (Im et al., 2013). Mammary tumors originate in the udder, and are classified according to their histological characteristics.

Breast cancer is the most common tumor disease among women in Sweden. About 7000persons, having a median age of 65, are diagnosed each year with this disease. Withmammography screening, breast cancer can be detected in an early stage which improves theoverall survival (OS). 20-30 % of the breast cancer tumors are overexpressing humanepidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), which is a protein that stimulates cell proliferation.Trastuzumab (Herceptin®) is a humanised monoclonal antibody that targets the HER2-proteinand prevent the signals for cell proliferation.Trastuzumab has earlier been used for treatment of metastatic breast cancer. In the year of 2007trastuzumab was approved for adjuvant treatment of patients who has been medicated withsurgery and/or radiation.The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of adjuvant treatment with trastuzumab inHER2-positive breast cancer patients.

Ship formed monuments from the Late Bronze Age on the island of O?land, southeast Sweden, have never been thoroughly dealt with in previous research, despite the fact that the region is suggested to have had a key-role in maritime trade networks. This thesis aims to address the ship formed monuments on O?land in relationship to the monuments in northern Sma?land and the island of Gotland. My goal is to discuss how the ship symbolism was practised during the Late Bronze Age in Scandinavia from a new perspective.

The knowledge of value-enhancing factors in condominiums is very important for real estate agents when valuing condominiums, but it is also of interest to the owner for an upcoming renovation and sale. Previous research has sorted out the most fundamental factors affecting value of condominiums such as location size, age and condition.The purpose of this paper is by consumer?s actual preferences regarding various attributes identify the most value-adding factors in condominiums. Thereby we want to add and nuance previous research.This has been done through a quantitative method in which possible buyers have ranked how various attributes affect their willingness to pay. The results were analyzed and the median of the various attributes have been recognized.The result shows in accordance with previous research that the location is the primary value-adding factor.

Genom att urskilja de faktorer som medfo?r en fo?rho?jd risk fo?r brottslighet kan preventiva a?tga?rder anpassas fo?r att motverka den enskilde individens a?terfallsbena?genhet i brottslighet. Individer med psykisk sto?rning utgo?r en betydande del av de individer som bega?r brott och a?tga?rderna bo?r da?rmed anpassas utifra?n deras riskfaktorer. Fo?r att underso?ka vilka bakomliggande faktorer som medfo?r att individer med psykisk sto?rning a?terfaller i na?gon form av brottslighet gjordes en retrospektiv registerstudie med fokus pa? de individer som genomga?tt en ra?ttspsykiatrisk underso?kning under a?ren 1992-2002 och genom denna blivit diagnostiserade med en sexuell sto?rning (N = 153).

Syfte: Studien unders?ker hur unga uth?llighetsidrottare upplever externa faktorer som testledare och labbmilj? vid ett VO?max-test, samt hur k?nslor och mentala strategier p?verkar upplevelse och prestation. Den kartl?gger ?ven f?rberedelser inf?r testet och j?mf?r dessa med t?vlingsrutiner. Metod: Sex idrottare (4 m?n, 2 kvinnor, snitt?lder 17,5 ?r) fr?n RIG/NIU deltog i VO?max-test p? l?pband eller cykel. Testen f?ljde standardiserade protokoll och m?tte objektiva v?rden som laktat, puls och RPE.
