This essay deals with the principle of surprise warfare and its development as well as the adaptation of military action that had to be made to surprise the opponent in the modern era.The concept of surprise is divided into its components in order to clarify what is required to implement a surprising maneuver, to understand the complex concept and form a theoretical framework for gathering facts in the case study.Development and adaption are demonstrated by a comparative case study where Pearl Harbor illustrates an example of historical surprise and Operation Desert Storm illustrates a modern surprise. The product will then be analyzed in order to detect the development and how military conduct is forced to adapt in order to carry out a surprising maneuver. The results shows that the military action of performing a surprise attack has had a major development and is now carried out in a different stage of the attack..

Extensive cattle management was reintroduced in Sweden during the 1950´s and 60´s. Usually this term refers to suckler cows for meat production that is kept outdoors all year around. Suckler cow farms tend to become fewer but bigger over time. Still however most of the farms with beef cows are small. Extensive animal husbandry can lead to animals becoming shy which leads to difficulties when they are handled due to veterinary treatments, marking, transport etc.

The aim with this essay is to find out what the expected changes in the subject physics will lead to for teachers and their pupils in ?gymnasiet?. The new fields we have chosen to focus on are electronic structure of condensed matter, nanotechnology and material physics. By studying earlier used curricula and textbooks, we illustrate what teachers may have come into contact with in their teaching careers. The main focus lies on what teachers claim to know about the fields mentioned above and if there is a need for further education.

A business is always dependent on its customers. It is therefore important to ensurethat customers are satisfied with the product and the warranty included.The study was conducted in cooperation with the building contacting companySkanska Sweden. The aim is to use interviews to collect and process experiences in order to answer the question: How should the recovery process in the construction industry be performed to ensure a professional handling of warranty? The results have shaped my conclusions and I have turned them into a proposal that companies in the industry can benefit from. The study indicates that the industry is not geared for a five year warranty, which was introduced in 2004 and 2006.

Tematiserande intervjuer har genomförts för att undersöka och förstå huruvida vuxendöva personer som har genomgått en CI-operation har iakttagit förändringar i sin identitetsupplevelse när hörseln förbättrats. Studien är kvalitativ och utgår från individens egna upplevelser kring cochlea implantat (CI). Antalet implantat ökar. Studien belyser personliga berättelser och erfarenheter av CI när man återfår hörselförmåga. Dessa berättelser är mycket viktiga eftersom de ger oss kunskap om det stöd dessa personer behöver genom deras rehabilitering, en slags kunskap som fortfarande i stor utsträckning saknas.

This study is an analysis of a survey that harvester operators working for SCA Ångermanland Skogsförvaltning have been participating in. The purpose of this study is to try to show the harvester operators opinion about the forestry planning that SCA provides. Hopefully will this information lead to suggestion about what part of the forestry planning needs to be improved, if any is needed? Unfortunately only 30 / 60 questionnaire has been returned so no conclusion can be made, except about those who have answered the survey. The answers of the survey indicate a number of areas that needs to be improved. The marked routes needs to be more visible and the education about timber landings must be enhanced.

Pyometra är namnet på en av våra vanligaste och allvarligaste hundsjukdomar. Sjukdomen drabbar främst äldre tikar och innebär en varig och inflammerad livmoder. Den exakta patogenesen diskuteras fortfarande, men alla är överens om att sjukdomens utveckling beror på ett samspel mellan en hormonellt påverkad livmoder och opportunistiska bakterier. Tikar som drabbas blir ofta mycket snabbt nedsatta och tillståndet kräver akut behandling. Den vanligaste och säkraste metoden innefattar en operation där livmodern och äggstockarna opereras bort. De senaste 30 åren har emellertid en hel del studier gjorts av möjligheten att behandla pyometra medicinskt för att kunna bevara den reproduktiva förmågan hos tiken.

This thesis work is executed at Business Unit Ericsson Test Environment (BETE), in Linköping. BETE is the department at Ericsson, which is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the company's Operations Support System (OSS). Their management system was outdated and they wanted it to be updated and it also required new features. The database needed to be replaced and the data migrated to a new database without licensing costs. The system also needed a part where employees could manage existing users.As a programming language PHP was chosen for its dynamic possibilities, platform independence and good support for database intergration.

This research is about the experience educationalists have of children encountering mathematics in a preschool. What is the impact of introducing mathematics in preschool? How do educationalists work with mathematics and how do they experience the children?s interest in mathematics?  The aim of this degree project is to examine how educationalists experience children´s interest in mathematics when they encounter mathematics at an early age. The degree project is limited to educationalists and children within a preschool located north of Stockholm.This research seeks answers to the following questions at issue. Does an early encounter with mathematics in preschool lead to increased interest in mathematics among children?  How can educationalists in preschool work in a appropriate way with mathematics to stimulate children to develop within mathematics and to increase their interest? How does educationalists in preschool experience children´s interest in mathematics?Theories by Piaget, Vygotskij and Dewey were used as well as former research in this subject.To answer the aim and the questions at issue in this research, three interviews was conducted with educationalists at the preschool and recorded with a Dictaphone.

Syftet med detta fördjupningsarbete är att få en fördjupad kunskap om polisens samarbete med vårdpersonal. Vi har avgränsat oss till att studera polishandräckningar åt psykavdelningen och tillnyktringsenheten i Skellefteå och Umeå för att se om det finns någonting som går att förbättra. Vi tror inte att det är en tillfällighet att det sker olyckor vid just handräkningsärenden. Vi har efter lite efterforskningar insett att det inte finns så mycket information nedskrivet om hur samarbetet fungerar, utan det mesta är oskrivna rutiner och regler som både vårdpersonalen och poliserna tar förgivet att motparterna vet. Det vi vill belysa är hur polisen och vårdpersonalen samarbetar rent säkerhetsmässigt och hur det kan utvecklas.

Högre byggnader i Sverige stabiliseras vanligen med väggar som dimensioneras för att uppta både skjuv- och tryckkraft, så kallade ?Shear-Walls? eller stabiliserande väggar. Vid dimensionering av dessa element refererar den aktuella normen, SS-EN 1992-1-1 (EK2) till fackverksmetoden. Då det råder brist på praktiskt applicerbara dimensioneringsregler för fackverksmetoden för stabiliserande väggar används i dagens läge ofta den amerikanska betongnormen, ACI som med sitt enklare och mer praktiska tillvägagångssätt konkurrerar ut fackverksmetoden. Eftersom dessa hus byggs i Sverige ska Eurokoderna tillämpas, därför är det intressant att veta hur stor skillnaden i både armering, men även styvhet blir om båda metoderna tillämpas på ett väggelement.

Touch that is performed in a sensitive and gentle way can be a good complement in caring. To be stricken with illness can involve that the individual feels powerlessness and to have no control over the own body. This could lead to both psychical and physical suffering. To strength health is one of the nurses' responsibilities and to touch can be one way. The aim of the study was to describe patients' experience of the effects of touch.

An array of different retinal disorders is present as a threat in quite a number of dog breeds. These often lead to profound visual impairment or blindness. Many of the disorders are genetic, and they are, in Sweden as well as in other countries, subject to breeding programmes. The anatomy of the eye and the retina, as well as current examination techniques (ophthalmoscopy, electroretinography (ERG) and genetic analysis) are described. The more common retinal disorders encountered in dogs in Sweden are discussed: retinal dysplasia, generalized progressive retinal dystrophy, retinal pigment epithelial dystrophy, collie eye anomaly, sudden acquired retinal degeneration, retinal detachment and choroiditis. The possibly affected breeds are listed. The value of diagnostic findings is discussed and current advances on the subject in ophthalmologic research are accounted for..

Perioperativ omvårdnad är de vårdhandlingar och vårdaktiviteter som utförs av en anestesi- och operationssjuksköterska under de pre-, intra- och postoperativa fa-serna i samband med en patients operation. Syftet med litteraturstudien var att belysa patienters upplevelser av perioperativ omvårdnad med inriktning mot peri-operativ dialogmodell. Forskningsprocessen inspirerades av Goodmans sju steg och metoden som användes var en litteraturstudie som grundade sig på tio veten-skapliga artiklar. Som teoretisk referensram har Orlandos omvårdnadsteori an-vänts. Resultatet visade att när den perioperativa omvårdnaden var organiserad enligt perioperativ dialogmodell upplevde patienterna bland annat att sjuksköters-kan hade tid för dem, operationen var något de skulle genomföra tillsammans och sjuksköterskan upplevdes se patienten som en resurs.
