Sweden is currently a country in which a large amount of children?s time has changed to be spent within institutions, for small children these institutions are preschools. These are places where notions are created regarding what children are, what?s good for children, what?s normal and desirable regarding children. The purpose of this study has been to decipher what?s considered desirable and what notions or ideas regarding children are prevalent in preschools with an I Ur och Skur profile.

When the costs for a company increase it is normal to look for alternatives to lower thesecosts. One of the expenditure that farmers have is energy costs. The price for the energy mayvary because of the free market. To look at the possibilities for a farmer to invest in sunpower, to make the company less sensitive for the changes on the electrical market, isinteresting. The biggest part of the electricity that is produced in Sweden comes from a fewcompanies on the market.

Denna rapport är en fortsättning på litteraturstudien utförd våren 2005 av Per Vedin och Jonas Bjurholt. Idén för att utveckla en metod för brytning av berg med mikrovågor som källa för värme och högtrycksvatten för att lossgöra den försvagade bergmassan kommer från Ingemar Marklund som 2003 blev vald till årets bergtekniker av Atlas Copco. I denna rapport har försök genomförts i syfte att fastställa hur snabbt berg kan värmas med mikrovågor och om denna uppvärmning förändrar hållfastheten hos berget. Bestrålningen av proverna har skett utan kavitet, dvs. proverna har inte inneslutits i någon form av låda eller ugn.

Oavsiktlig lindrig hypotermi förekommer hos upp till 60 % av de patienter som genomgår en operation. Hjärnans förmåga att reglera kroppstemperaturen under ett operativt ingrepp påverkas av läkemedel som ges under anestesi. De åtgärder som vidtas innan och under operationen för att minska temperatursänkning är ofta otillräckliga och behöver förbättras. Idag finns få rutiner för hur oavsiktlig lindrig hypotermi skall undvikas för att minska det lidande som kan uppstå då patienten oavsiktligt utsätts för avkylning perioperativt. Syftet med studien var att påvisa de risker och effekter som uppstår i samband med oavsiktlig lindrig hypotermi perioperativt, samt att belysa framkomna skyddande faktorer.

Wildlife fences are today commonly used along highways to reduce the risk of vehicle collisions with wildlife. Since traffic and roads have expanded over the years, wildlife behaviour has become more interesting not only for the prevention of vehicle collisions but also to understand how human activities impact their natural habitats. Moose is one of those animals that have increased in interest in such studies. In this study, I tested if the probability to cross wildlife fences of moose would increase with increasing home range sizes, and also at what time of the year they cross. The study area is situated in Nordmaling municipality, located in Northern Sweden in the County of Västerbotten.

This is a study that aims to investigate what is being spoken about on an internet forum created for people who suffer from extreme loneliness. The study aims to answer questions regarding the users identity and general opinions regarding live a life of more intense solitude. The basic scientific approach of the study is centered around two terms, taken from Howard S. Beckers book "outsiders" (1997). These two terms are "outsiders" and "deviant careers", both dealing with the subject of deviant behavior.

Ångest är ett tillstånd som drabbar en stor del av Sveriges befolkning. Den ökande psykiska ohälsan visar sig i antalet sjukskrivningar och besök inom vårdkedjan även genom den ständigt ökande förskrivningen och användningen av lugnande och antidepressiva läkemedel. Detta sker samtidigt som befolkningen för övrigt blir friskare och friskare. Genom att i tid uppmärksamma och hantera dessa problem skulle mycket lidande undvikas. Inom området saknas kunskap och forskning om hur patienter som lider av ångest bör behandlas och bemötas på bästa sätt.

Syftet med vår studie var att undersöka vilka kunskaper eleverna ansåg sig ha inom ämnet kost och dess betydelse för hälsan. Undersökningen gjordes med hjälp av enkäter och omfattade totalt 97 elever i åldrarna 14 till 19 år. Vi ville även försöka se hur eleverna åt under en normal vecka och jämföra detta mot elevernas kunskaper såväl mot tidigare forskning på området. Studien har uppkommit genom författarnas intresse för elevers allmänna hälsokunskaper samtidigt som vi under vår utbildning fått erfarenheter som visade på dåliga kostkunskaper hos eleverna. Dessa erfarenheter visade även att många av eleverna åt dåligt och sällan under skoldagarna.

  ?this Unpleasent klientel?A study on refugee care in Växjö between the years 1944 and 1947.The purpose of this study was to examine the treatment of sick refugees in Växjö in the 1940s. To achieve this a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods were used. The material found in the local archive and local newspaper was then put together and analyzed from the theoretical perspective, gender, class, ethnicity and social status.The result of this study shows that there were two main treatment wards for refugees, one that was supposed to treat women and children with active tuberculosis and the other ward treated refuges with ?epidemic diseases.? Foreign citizens were also taken care of in other words that were also not meant for refugees only, like the Epidemic hospital, which treated about 80 patients of a foreign nationality between 1944 and 1946.

Research shows that Muslims are often reproduced within the context that reinforces stereotyping of Muslims, see for example Otterbeck and Schielke. They are often regarded as a collective group with no distinct individuals and thereby the Islamic religiosity is portrayed as different and deviant from the more secular and private practiced Protestantism that is a common belief in Sweden.The purpose of this work is to study the already existing representation of Muslim women in a Western context, i.e. Muslim women in Sweden. This is done through an analysis of two ethnographic interviews and observational studies, written by researchers in Sweden (Karlsson Minganti and Sultan Sjöqvist) to investigate the existence of an "us and them" mindset. The two ethnographic studies which are analyzed in this work, deal with different types of Muslims: women who have been Muslims since birth and converted Muslim women.

Inledning: Diabetes är en av våra vanligaste metabola sjukdomar. Behandlingen har varit fokuserad på HbA1c, men vikten av postprandiellt plasmaglukos (PPG) betonas alltmer.Syfte: Att jämföra postprandiellt plasmaglukossvar (PPG) vid måltider med olika fördelning av de energigivande näringsämnena samt olika livsmedelsval, hos individer med diabetes mellitus typ II jämfört med friska.Bakgrund: Rubbad insulinfrisättning och hyperglykemi förekommer alltid vid diabetes typ II och insulinresistens förekommer vanligtvis parallellt. Lågfettkost, medelhavskost och lågkolhydratkost är aktuella kostbehandlingsalternativ.Metod och material: Tre personer med icke-insulinbehandlad diabetes typ II (ID2) samt fyra personer med normal blodglukoskontroll (friska) deltog. Fem måltider serverades i enlighet med Socialstyrelsens riktlinjer Kost vid diabetes. Blodglukos mättes fem gånger under 120 minuter efter måltid.

ABSTRACT The purpose of this medical record research was to study 30 patients with chronic subdural hematoma on a neurosurgical clinic, mapping documented nutritional status, preoperative fasting and hydration and energy supply before surgery. In addition peroperative administration of fluid and vasoactive drugs, as well as postoperative complications and length of hospital stay were studied. The mean age of the patients was 71 years. Nutritional status was evaluated in 12 patients, out of these seven were judged to be at risk for under nutrition. Fifteen patients had surgery day 1 (total fasting time on average m 11 h), eleven had surgery day 2(29 h), three had surgery day 3 (35 h).

Background: During extreme market conditions like the period during fall 2008 the discussion of what affects company value becomes apparent. The capital structure is the relation between borrowed capital and equity in a company´s financing mix. What impact changes in capital structure have on company value is a widely debated subject within the theory of finance. If a relationship between capital structure and company value exists the implication is that an optimal capital structure where company value is maximized also exists.Aim: The aim of the thesis is to study whether a certain relationship between capital structure and company value exists among selected stocks and companies listed on Stockholmsbörsens OMXS30.Implementation: With aim to fulfill the purpose of the thesis regression analysis has been performed among chosen stocks and companies. The empirical results eventuating from this have been analyzed from the view of elected relevant theory.Completion and results: We find that during normal market conditions a positive relationship between debt ratio and enterprise value (EV) can be established.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the phenomenon of ?electronic bullying?, and furthermore to describe how this phenomenon is perceived by teenage girls with language disorders in combination with autism spectra. The conclusions and result from this study is derived from six in-depth interviews, thereof four being with girls with autism spectra diagnosis and all but one diagnosed with language disorder in addition (referred to as main respondents). The two reminding girls neither had language disorder nor autism spectra (referred to as comparing respondents). They were added to the study for the purpose of comparing their experiences and descriptions of those with language disorder and/or autism spectra diagnosis. For interpretation and analysis of study result, I have applied the method of phenomenology.                              The study?s main respondents had own experiences in the area of electronic bullying, albeit their level of knowledge of the subject were very limited and they had problems to interpret information given.

Background: Phonemically balanced word lists are used when obtaining speech recognition scores in noise. These lists are designed for adults, but are still used for children. To properly obtain speech recognition scores in noise for children, normative data is needed to show what differences there are to be expected between children of different ages. Purpose: The main purpose is to obtain normative data for children in the ages of 7, 10 and 13 years for speech recognition scores in noise using words and to compare these with each other and with normative data of adults. A further purpose is to examine if there is any practice- or exhaustion effect to be seen when obtaining speech recognition scores in noise for children in the ages of 7, 10 and 13 years.Material: The participants were ten 7-year-olds, ten 10-year-olds and ten 13-year-olds.
