The aim of this study is to analyze the process of an agenda setting and see how a specific issue came to materialize on the security policy agenda. The empirical goal of the study is to see why Sweden chose to participate in the EU-led operation to Chad, and how that process came to be? The analysis is based upon Kingdon's multiple streams theory (2003) where he distinguishes the process into three streams. Central for his theory is the coupling of these streams and the importance of a policy entrepreneur. I complement Kingdon's theory of policy entrepreneurs by taking inspiration from Hinnfors (1995), Gustavsson (1999) and especially Eriksson (2000) and their analysis of policy change and agenda setting.

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate and clarify the facts surrounding one of Vattenfall's district heating plants; The "solar field" and associated rock cavern in Lyckebo, Storvreta. The plant was built in the '80s by the formerly municipal utility,Uppsalakraftvärme AB, as an experimental building. A ground water filled cavern would serve as seasonal storage of solar heat from an adjacent solar field. Since both the energy company and the facility itself has undergone major changes over the past 30 years, there was a great need to gather facts in order to provide a picture of its current condition and potential for continued use. The thesis investigates the plant's history and problems with the rock cavern losses, and how the operation developed. It also presents the calculations regarding the possibilities of again supplementing the facility with solar energy - which is not the case today - as well as the economic conditions for it. Regarding a re-launch of solar energy, primarily a concentrating solar collector has been studied, as it has the advantages of an integrated control system.

Students? experience of stress is generally considered to be an isolated problem, caused by school work. Students? experience of stress at school can also be affected by exterior influences.This research aims to discover what factors Swedish students, age 13 ? 16, experience as stressful. It also aims to describe how students believe this stress can be reduced.

The aim of this project was to describe and to evaluate five small sewage treatment plants in the municipality of Laholm, Sweden, in order to investigate the treatment efficiency and to evaluate if effluents comply with discharge permits. The treatment systems were designed to treat effluents from 90 to 500 population equivalents. A report on the design and the present state of each sewage treatment plant has been made. This was made based upon previous documentation on water quality and by new sampling campaign as there were only a few previous measurements. Data has been evaluated and remedial actions proposed for those treatment plants that don?t fulfill discharge permits.

Den läroplan vi har idag (Lpo 94) betonar att föräldrar har förhållandevis stor möjlighet att påverka sina barns skolgång. Läroplanen lyfter också fram att elevens utveckling ska ske i samarbete mellan hem och skola. Frågan som fokuseras i den här examensarbetet är hur föräldrar till barn i de högre skolåren i grundskolan upplever att detta samarbete fungerar. Examensarbetet är baserat på en litteraturstudie och en kvantitativ enkätundersökning. För att fördjupa och vidga perspektivet en aning har jag även kompletterat med ett kvalitativt inslag i form av två föräldraintervjuer.

This thesis is done in cooperation with SWECO Energuide in Växjö. They have been assigned by SKB in Oskarshamn to renew their electrical power supply and the ancillary processing systems in their Central provisional storage of spent nuclear fuel, CLAB. Today in the CLAB facility, the spent fuel is cooled down with water pumps, driven by asynchronous induction motors, where the water is regulated by mechanical valves to the desired flow. After the upgrade, the engines will be powered by AC drives that can control the pumps by changing the rotational speed and thus change the water's cooling effect on the nuclear fuel. In this study, I investigated the interference AC drives causes the feeding network and how to go about averting them.

The aim of this study was to examine young men born between 1990-1995 with anorectal malformations (ARM) whom have undergone the new PSARP-operation starting in 1990, and how they experience their psychosocial and sexual health. The study also examines how they cope with their life situation and what their experience is of the health care and how they were responded to through out the years. This study is a qualitative research and consists seven semi- structured interviews with young men between sixteen and twenty years old. The analyses of this material resulted in three themes around which the study centers: psychosocial health, sexual health and the medical establishment and the informants thoughts about the proposition of counseling for themselves and other individuals born with ARM. The study shows that these young men have a good psychosocial health and a likely reason for that is good parental relationships and close friendships.

Patienter som väntar på operation är ofta oroliga. Oron påverkas av omgivningen och det gör väntrummets utformning intressant. Syftet med studien var att undersöka patienters upplevelser av det preoperativa väntrummet. Studien utfördes med kvalitativ metod där sex stycken patienter som suttit i väntrummet innan operationen intervjuades. Intervjuerna analyserades med kvalitativ innehållsanalys och induktiv ansats.

AbstractPolymetallic (Pb-Zn-Cu-Ag-Au-Sb-As-Bi-Cd-Te-Se-Ge?) quartz veins occur in an area from Eidsvoll in southeastern Norway to west of LakeVänern in southwestern Sweden. They most likely formed during the waning stage of the c. 1 Ga Sveconorwegian orogeny. In Värmskog parish, Värmland county, several mineralized quartz veins of different types are known.

The primary purpose of this thesis is to investigate the operation of membership criteria, which are applied against countries that wish to join the European Union (EU). More specifically, the importance of some criteria in comparison to others is considered. To answer this proposal, three questions are posed: What are the EU membership criteria? Are some criteria more important than other criteria? Does the EU treat candidate countries differently in applying the membership criteria? Three countries are used in this analysis, each country representing one recent enlargement round: Poland (2004), Romania (2007), and current candidate country Turkey. Both official documents, such as EU treaties, and unofficial documents such as statements from EU leaders are used to analyze the application of membership criteria.

IntroduktionDetta kartläggningsprojekt har sitt ursprung i det kliniska vardagsarbetet och sjuksköterskors önskan om att patienter, som på en thoraxkirurgisk klinik opereras för lungcancer, ska få sakkunnig och omsorgsfull vård.SyfteSyftet med denna studie är att kartlägga vilka behov och förväntningar som personer med lungcancer har inför en thoraxonkologisk operation samt vilken innebörden i personcentrerad vård är för dessa personer.MetodUrvalet kommer att bestå av 50 patienter som inkommer planerat för att opereras på grund av diagnostiserad/ misstänkt lungcancer. Patienterna kommer att opereras vid thoraxkirurgisk klinik på ett universitetssjukhus. Inklusionskriterier är att patienterna är i åldern 18-70 år och kan förstå svenska i tal och skrift. Datainsamling kommer att ske med hjälp av en enkät i två delar. I syfte att pröva enkätens användbarhet genomfördes en pilotstudie.

I Sverige idag finns det grovt uppskattat mellan 140 000-210 000 personer med Bipolärsjukdom eller Borderline personlighetsstörning (Bps). Mötet med dessa personer kan ibland vara svåra och komplicerade. Tanken med denna rapport är att läsaren skall få en teoretisk grund i vad diagnoserna innebär och hur man kan känna igen symtom. Utifrån denna teoretiska grund ska läsaren även få kunskap om hur bemötandet av personer med bipolär sjukdom eller Bps bör gå till för att undvika konflikt. Avsnittet om bemötande bygger på intervjuer av personal med erfarenhet från olika psykiatriavdelningar.

Utredningshemmet in Hässleholm, Sweden, is a special residential home for acute management and investigative evaluation of juvenile delinquents.Utredningshemmet has, since 1991, used an investigative model, which is based on systems theory. The investigative work is done in close co-operation with social workers, youths and their parents.This study takes into account the youths, who have had a commissioned placement to carry out an investigation of their needs of care and treatment, 71 juvenile delinquent cases. They are divided into three one year intervals: 17 cases in 1993, 28 cases in 1998 and 26 cases in 2003.The purpose of this evaluation is to illustrate changes in the social workers, parents and youth's level of satisfaction during the development of the special residential home's investigative model.Approximately one to three months after discharges social workers, youths and their parents completed a level of satisfaction questionnaire. The results demonstrate no significant difference in the level of satisfaction between different time periods. There are, however, differences in satisfaction levels between social workers, who have the highest level of satisfaction, parents, who have the next highest level and finally the youths level of satisfaction..

Renewable energy and the charging of electrical vehicles will increase in the future. Therefore the risk of outages is also increasing, partly because renewable energy is intermittent and the production amount can change fast. Charging electrical vehicles is often demanding high effect in short time, which could make faults occur. It takes more advanced technology to short the outage time. Today Övik Energi has high reliability in the power grid, but in order to maintain the reliability, it is time to prevent problems that can occur in the future. This thesis has presented a suggestion for the placement of fault detectors Protrol IPS2, in which a total of four detectors is proposed.

Postoperativt illamående drabbar en tredjedel av dem som genomgår en operation med generell an-estesi. En av riskfaktorerna för att drabbas av post-operativt illamående och kräkning (PONV) är att vara kvinna i fertil ålder, hos vilka det är tre gånger vanligare än hos män. PONV kräver ökad medici-nering och tillsyn av personal, vilket leder till ökade kostnader. Postoperativt illamående har troligtvis funnits sedan anestesin började användas i mitten av 1800-talet. Under åren som följt har säkrare me-toder för narkos utvecklats men problemet med postoperativt illamående förekommer fortfarande och har fått benämningen ?the big little problem? Postoperativt illamående är speciellt vanligt efter cancer mammae operationer, bukoperationer och gynekologiska ingrepp.
