Neurography is the most objective and reliable measure of the peripheral nerve function, and it is used to diagnose both local and generalized neuropathies. Neurography can measure both motor and sensory nerve functions. The principle for sensory neurgraphy is to stimulate over the nerve and record proximal or distal from the stimulated electrode.At the Department of Clinical Neurophysiology, University Hospital Uppsala, a problem has been identified, in that young adult patients tend to show unexpected abnormal neurography values in relation to the expected, indicated by the reference limits, without clinical correlates. This concerns foremost the sensory amplitudes in median and ulnar nerves. The hypothesis is that the requirement of young adults? amplitudes is too high.

In the light of some company scandals the Swedish Code of Corporate Governance, the Code, was introduced in the year of 2004 to reinforce confidence in how Swedish listed companies are managed. As many of the other European codes of corporate governance, the Swedish Code is based on the principle of ?comply or explain?. The need for corporate governance regulation arises from the inherent conflict of interest between owners and managers. This conflict is limited in companies controlled by a family in contrast to companies that lack a strong owner.

Ever since the nation-state has existed identity has been a big deal, it is told that identity is a tool needed to be able to receive consensus from the people concerned on a certain matter. As the European Union is continuously shaped and reshaped due to changing geographical borders, as a consequence of new member-states the aim to integrate the Union equally across its surface has not been an easy task to solve. A lack of trust from the inhabitants in the European Union is a fact, and therefore the main duty of the Union has become to rebuild the trust from beginning to end, creating a Union which easily can be identified with. Since the process of national identity relies upon an excluding-including process and the use of the Other, the identification process on an European level has indeed had fierce effects on the inhabitants within and outside the Union.One of many things that this essay aims at showing is how mythmaking has become a way used by the elite in the Union to integrate a European identity, the myths refer back to a Golden Age when Europe was prosperous and in bloom. Among other tools used to integrate and create a European identity we find such as; unity in diversity, a cultural inheritance based on common denominators such as Christianity and Latin traditions, symbols and a European citizenship.

This paper studies, from a client perspective, how three Swedish municipalities work with information about a voucher system in homecare.

 AbstractThis is a bachelor?s thesis within the program society development on the collage Mälardalenshögskola. The subject that will be handled is knowledge recycling, this intervenes very wellwith the program I am undergoing, and this is because Construction Company?s does ingeneral do the same mistakes over and over again. In the long run this will mean higher endprices for the end user.

Denna intervju- och textanalysstudie undersöker tankar om begreppet kultur hos fransklärare samt framställningen av begreppet kultur i kursplanen i moderna språk från 2011 ur Läroplan för grundskolan, förskoleklass och fritidshemmet (Lgr 11). Dessa två analyser jämförs sedan sinsemellan och med den analys som Tornberg (2000) har gjort av kursplanen för moderna språk från 2000 i anslutning till Läroplanen för det obligatoriska skolväsendet, förskoleklassen och fritidshemmet (Lpo 94). Studien utgår från Tornbergs tre kulturperspektiv, som används som idealtyper vid analysen av lärarintervjuerna och vid analysen av kursplanen 2011: ett fullbordat faktum, en kompetens för framtiden och ett möte i öppet landskap.Det huvudsakliga resultatet är att ett fullbordat faktum och en kompetens för framtiden dominerar i de båda kursplanerna. Kursplanerna skiljer sig dock åt då kursplanen 2000 har en nationalromantisk uppfattning, medan kursplanen 2011 har en mer varierad syn där nation och kultur inte nödvändigtvis måste höra samman. Fransklärarna tycks uppdelade i tre grupper.

Intentionen med denna studie är att studera på vilket sätt Skolverket problematiserar modersmålsstödet och mo-dersmålsundervisningen i den svenska skolan. Med diskursanalys som grundläggande metodologisk och teoretiska utgångspunkten har avsikten varit att genom skolverkets rapport Flera språk fler möjligheter (2002), belysa moders-målsstödets situation, dess intentioner, samt också dess konsekvenser för såväl individen som samhället. Därtill är syftet att beröra eventuella ideologiska föreställningar som framkommer, såväl Skolverkets som andra aktörer som har del i rapporten. Av analysen har det bland annat framkommit att modersmålsundervisningen befinner sig i ett såväl rumsligt tidsmässigt utanförskap i förhållande till skolans övriga reguljära undervisningsmiljö. Enligt skolverket bör det ligga i skolans intresse att i praktiken införliva och integrera modersmålsundervisningen, dels för att skapa bättre förutsättningar för modersmålsstödet som undervisningsmetod, men också för att på detta sätt skapa en all-män förståelse för modersmålsundervisningens roll i ett pluralistiskt och demokratiskt samhälle.

This bachelor thesis is a study in the analysis of paintings with focus on the technical exami-nation within the framework of ATSR. ATSR is a methodology based on an interdisciplinary study with the aim of putting the object in its context.The study is based on questions concerning which information the object can give, how we access this information and how it can be put in a larger context. My thesis contains three major parts. First a short overview of methods of analysis used in this form of investigation is presented. This is followed by two case studies which exemplify the technical investigation.

There are changes in Sweden's foreign policy, and Sweden is no longer a non-aligned and neutral nation. Sweden has expressed a willingness to actively participate in creating peace and stability in the world by giving and receiving military assistance in case of war, crisis or disaster. This is described as complete turnaround in Swedish policy compared to the neutrality and non-alignment during the Cold war.However new research shows that defence cooperation is not new in the Nordic region. Sweden cooperated secretly with Denmark and Norway, two NATO countries, about co-operative defence of Scandinavia during the Cold War.Is our historical picture wrong and what we perceive as new and revolutionized not particularly new? Is today's open Nordic defence cooperation a continuation of what was done in secret during the Cold War? The essay investigates and compares two different Swedish defence cooperation?s where one was previously secret and the other is open.

The purpose of this Masters thesis is to examine how young womens sexuality is described in Swedish youth novels. The analysis is based upon eight books of which four were published during the period from 1970 to 1975 and four books were published during 2000 to 2005. The theoretical framework is based on a gender theoretical perspective where Yvonne Hirdmans theories about a gender system and Ylva Elwin-Nowaks and Heléne Thomssons ideas about gender construction are crucial. Also Anthony Giddens theories about sexuality in the late modern society are used, where the plastic sexuality and the pure relationship are central ideas. The method is based upon textual analysis, and a model of analysis is constructed with its basis in the theoretical attempt.

AbstractThe use of temporary agency workers has increased significantly during the last decades. Due to considerable differences in the legal status and working conditions of temporary agency workers within the EU, the directive 2008/104/EC on temporary agency work was adopted in 2008. The current directive has a two folded purpose, first and foremost to improve the employment and working conditions for temporary agency workers, by establishing the principle of equal treatment. The second purpose is to create greater acceptance for the temporary work agencies, and also to review and remove any unjustified restrictions or prohibitions against them.There are several different models for labour market regulation represented within the EU. The Swedish and Nordic model has through history relied heavily on regulation via collective agreements, entered into by the social partners, with a minimal amount of state interference and regulation.For Sweden there is a potential problem in the implementation of the directive on temporary agency work, since it follows from case law by the European Court of Justice (ECJ).

The democratic conditions in national states have change radically at the same time as the society has changed. Because of social and economic globalization processes, the states and government has lost power for the benefit of transnational and global institutions. That affects the democracy since the nation state earlier defined the domain of citizenship. At the same time, citizens? confidence towards political parties and politicians has gone down.

Sverige är ett land som internationellt sett länge förknippats med fred, och framförallt med frihet. En tolerant nation, där just denna beryktade tolerans i nuläget utsatts för ifrågasättande. Anledningen till detta är fallet med pastor Åke Green. Denne har i en predikan, som sedermera publicerades i Borgholms lokaltidning, Ölandsbladet, uttalat sig kränkande mot homosexuella och deras livsföring. Följden av detta blev väckande av allmänt åtal enligt den nya tilläggsbestämmelsen i Brottsbalken 16 kapitlet, 8 paragrafen om förbud mot hets mot homosexuella.

The first law in Sweden containing an act of legal deposit is from 1661. Since then the printing-houses are supposed to deliver all printed material to the Royal Library and other recipient libraries. Today, more and more information is solely published electronically. This material is not yet included in the law of legal deposit. In a similar way as our printed cultural heritage is saved for posterity our electronic cultural heritage has to be saved.

The purpose of this essay was to investigate the view of what kind of role the personal assistant has in disabled people´s life and sexlife and how conceptions of a "normal" life and "to live like others" can be identified related to this. My research questions was: What does the expression "to live like others" mean to the organisations? What is the view in the organisations of the personal assistant´s role in the client´s life? What is the view in the organisations of the personal assistant´s role in the client´s sexlife? What is the view in the organisations of disabled people´s rights to get assisted help with sex? I chose to do semistructured interviews with different organisations related to disability and assistance and I analysed the interviews with theoretical aspects of social constructivism, the principle of normalization and the theory of SRV (Social Role Valorization), autonomy, individualism and models of action. My main conclusion were that the views of disabled people´s sexuality and the personal assistant´s role in disabled people´s sexlife were widely separate. However, almost all of the organisations were pointing out the autonomy of the individual and the importance of setting the limits.
