Hypoadrenocorticism (Addison´s disease) results from insufficient production of glucocorticoid and mineralcorticoid hormones from the adrenal glands. The disease is often difficult to diagnose in an early stage because of the multitude of associated vague clinical signs. The standard poodle is one breed presupposed to be at higher risk of developing the disease. The purpose of this study was to give a review of canine hypoadrenocorticism as described in literature, and to characterise Addison´s disease in a population of standard poodles in Sweden. Statistics on incidenceproportions by breed for hypoadrenocorticism from the database of the Swedish insurance company Agria are presented.

Bakgrund Cerebral pares ?r ett begrepp som anv?nds f?r flera typer av motoriska funktionshinder d?r neurologiska symtom ?r en gemensam n?mnare f?r det olika typerna. Ca 95% blir vuxna och lever ett normall?ngt liv, dock med vanligt f?rkommande av bieffekter s? som kontrakturer i exempelvis rygg och leder. Efter f?dsel kan kvinnor k?nna k?nslom?ssigt misslyckande d? barnet blev annorlunda och att deras liv kommer att v?ndas upp och ner.

ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to investigate the clinical application to use ASSR in anesthetized childrenDesignOne main ambition of the investigation was to compare hearing threshold using ABR with estimated hearing threshold using ASSR. Another aim was to examine if the duration of an ASSR measurement could be reduced by only using the frequencies 1, 2 and 4 kHz and exclude the frequency 0.5 kHz. This is a retrospective study using electrophysiological measurement from a database.ResultResults showed a high correlation between hearing threshold using ABR and estimated thresholds using ASSR, with the frequency 0.5 kHz showing a slightly lower correlation. Result also showed that the test duration was increased when using all test frequencies in ASSR-measurement compared to when 0.5kHz was excluded. ConclusionThe study showed a high correlation when comparing hearing threshold using ABR and ASSR.

De senaste åren har det uppkommit ett ökat behov av inhemskt virke inom SCA. Detta framförallt på grund av ökad virkesefterfrågan från de egna industrierna. Eftersom inte SCA Skogs eget skogsinnehav på 2.6 milj ha räcker till för försörjningen av industrierna har man anställt fler virkesköpare som har i uppdrag att köpa råvara från privata markägare. För att sätta fokus på hur SCAs arbete fungerar mot sina virkesleverantörer/kunder har jag gjort en enkätstudie på detta. Studien är uppdelad i tre delar; litteraturstudie, enkätundersökning av kundnöjdhet och en excel-modell för uppföljning av kundnöjdheten baserad på enkäten.

Coastal sediments are important carbon sinks, storing organic matter and thereby helping to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. However, they can also act as carbon sources if the deposited organic matter decomposes rapidly, contributing to increased greenhouse gas emissions and global warming. Rapid decomposition partly depends on the degradability of the material itself. In this literature review, I examine which coastal plant species dominate different locations along the Swedish coast, based on coverage data from the ClimScape project (www.climscape.se). For the most dominant species, I investigated the type of organic matter they may contribute to the sediments and based on those results I qualitatively assessed which sites that may function as carbon sinks or sources.

Det ?vergripande syftet med denna studie ?r att med utg?ngspunkt i den fenomenografiska ansatsen unders?ka nio f?rskoll?rares uppfattningar av fenomenet tydligg?rande pedagogik som inkluderingsverktyg i l?rmilj?n utomhus. Studien placerar sig i kontaktytan mellan forskning om inkludering, tillg?ngliga l?rmilj?er utomhus och den praktiska till?mpningen av tydligg?rande pedagogik. Genom att studera f?rskoll?rares uppfattningar av fenomenet och hur f?rskoll?rare anser sig agera i sv?ra situationer som uppst?r i denna milj? har slutsatser kunnat dras kring hur och om tydligg?rande pedagogik anv?nds som ett inkluderingsverktyg.

Stockholm city has recently raised its ambitions for bicycle traffic, the goal is to achieve a larger andsafer bicycle traffic. But cyclists are more vulnerable on the roads than other vehicle users because of the lack of protection. This means that a large proportion of road safety for cyclists is based on the design of the traffic environment. Since most serious bicycle accidents are those that occur in conflict with motor vehicles, and the majority of these accidents occur at intersections, these areas are of great importance forcyclist?s safety.The  purpose  of  this  paper  is  to  highlight  bicycle  accidents  at  intersections  and  to  suggest improvements  in three accident-prone junctions  in Stockholm.  This is  achieved  by  the study of accident statistics, literature and finally three case studies.The literature study focused on cyclists, traffic safety and traffic safety measures.

De senaste tv? ?ren har medf?rt betydande f?r?ndringar i den makroekonomiska milj?n, b?de globalt och i Sverige. En l?ng period av gynnsamma styrr?ntor gav f?rdelar ?t fastighetsbolag, men den ?kade inflationen under den senaste perioden har lett till markant h?jning av styrr?ntan. I en tid av ?kad f?rsiktighet fr?n banker vid utl?ning och h?g efterfr?gan p? kapital, har stora svenska fastighetsbolag v?nt sig till kreditmarknaden genom f?retagsobligationer.

Vi har utvecklat och utvärderat en prototyp som skulle kunna användas för att tilldela könummer i den offentliga servicesektorn. Prototypen är utvecklad i programspråket Visual basic och är konstruerad för att kunna simulera en vanlig köautomat. Rapporten innehåller en hel del information och betraktelser inom området WAP, allt lagt på en förklarande nivå. En stor del av arbetet och denna rapport är också tillägnat implementeringen av en Perl databas. Perl har ett mycket bra stöd för de flesta databaser.

The thesis deals with consumers behaviour in the use of online services and the cultures effect on it. It is a study of Swedes and Danes use of online job data bases. The thesis is based on a quantitative study. A questionnaire were used sent out to 80 Swedes and 80 Danes. The theory concerns areas of online consumer behaviour, decision making and services theory as well as theories within culture in relation to services and behaviour.

Organisations constantly live under the potential threat of events and accidents that seriously could harm the organisation. Forsmarks Kraftgrupp AB, the company that this master thesis focus on, is in no aspect excepted from this threat. Through an early identification of near misses and the taking of corrective action in use, Forsmarks Kraftgrupp AB has managed to reduce the likelihood and the consequence of events and accidents. The purpose of this master thesis is to evalutate Forsmarks Kraftgrupp AB?s operation experience process on the basis of IAEA?s and WANO?s requirements within the field of operation experience and to develop a usable system applicably within the field of operation experience.The thesis is divided into two parallel tracks, where one is the evaluation of the operation experience process and the other the design of a usable system, applicably within the field of operation experience.

This is a thesis project in the field of information technology which begins by evaluating existing food price comparison systems and subsequently aims to design an improved, web based system for said purpose. The system features interfaces for price reporting, price comparisons as well as various search and review functions. The objective is to create a system able to compete with existing price comparison systems, which requires careful selection of products that can be found in all foodstores that also represent different households; a user-friendly price reporting and price comparison interface and an efficient tool for ensuring the validity of reported prices.The designed system features a more accurate formula for calculating average prices in events where the real price is missing; a more reliable security mechanism forv alidation of reported prices and a more comprehensible interface for viewing price reports, reporting prices, reviewing stores and products in comparison with existing systems. The system does, however, suffer from some optimization issues primarily in the form of inefficient database modeling; SQL queries and JavaScript code although testing has shown that these shortcomings do not hamper overall performance to such a degree that usability is compromised. Further usability testing performed on the system with five test subjects shows that a high level of overall user-friendliness has been achieved even though some special features, such as the detailed report containing price information per product for each store need to be improved.It is not possible to say at this time whether or not the designed system will be able to compete with existing ones or if the very concept of food price comparisons per se is viable in terms of profitability and marketability.
