This essay explores the Swedish state?s geopolitical view and creation, of the spatial spaces in and of the Arctic. With a critical geopolitical framework, a discourse analysis is conducted on the Swedish strategy for the arctic region, with the ambition to unfold the underlining spatial spaces, actors and dramas that this discourse creates. The result of this analysis shows that Sweden creates three different Arctic spaces within its geopolitical discourse; a Swedish Arctic, a Nearby Arctic and a Regional Arctic.

This paper is about how transport companies in the future will be able to adapt their activity to an environmentally sustainable development without the effect of negative company economic consequences. Today, the environmental threat is a global problem and knowledge about that effluent of carbon dioxide have a negative impact on the climate is generally known. A transport system that works well is important for Sweden, but the sector has a negative impact on the environment. Regulation and legislation for increased environmental requirements often meets resistance and fear that the work will be hampered by increased costs for environmental work that can lead to an international decrease in competitiveness. The transport companies have outside pressure from the society to do something about the environmental issue, however the companies? customers are not ready to pay a higher price for environmental work.

Bakgrund: Bukaortaaneurysm (AAA) har under de senaste tjugo åren blivit allt vanligare både när det gäller förekomst och diagnostisk upptäckt. Oftast är sjukdomen symtomfri och upptäcks ofta först när det rupturerar. AAA behandlas med antingen endovaskulär aortaaneurysm reparation (EVAR), öppen kirurgi av aorta (ÖA), farmakologiskt eller inte alls.Syfte: Syftet var att se hur mortaliteten och komplikationerna ser ut efter EVAR jämfört med ÖA och vilka olika kort- respektive långsiktiga för- och nackdelar som finns med de olika metoderna.Metod: Sökning av artiklar gjordes i databasen PubMed. Totalt valdes 10 artiklar ut som var baserade på 6 olika studier.Resultat: Majoriteten av dödsfallen som skedde inom 30 dagar hos ÖA-patienterna var aneurysmrelaterade och fler än inom EVAR. Efter 2-3 år syntes inte längre någon signifikant skillnad mellan de två patientgrupperna.

The purpose of the present study has been to investigate the attitudes of personell involved in the preschoolorganisation in a Swedish commune regarding injury risks for children in pre-school. Sixrespondents were interviewed in a qualitative interview study.Two different pre-school units were investigated, and it was found that they had surprisingly largedifferences in how they were working with children safety. However, in summary it can be said that therespondents perceived that child safety should encompass a safe and secure environment, however withthe important caveat that accidents can never be completely excluded, due to the natural anddevelopmentally important play of children.The investigated commune and pre-school units improved children safety mainly by using yearlyplanning meetings (Sw. "barnskyddsrond") where the physical environment in the school wasinvestigated together with external specialists. However, there are important differences in how the unitsworked within this framework, some units actively encouraging and others discouraging children andparent participation in the work..

Ask any constructional worker and there is a high probability that this person knows a colleague with pain or other disorders caused by working with power tools.According to the Swedish Work Environment Authority 71 percent of the Swedish constructional workers is exposed to vibrations at least 25 percent of the working hours. Despite this, the number of reported occupational sicknesses caused by vibrations is as low as 1, 4 percent.JM Ltd. is one of the largest constructional companies in Sweden. Their main business is new housing and development of residential areas. God quality and low impact on the environment is a part of great importance in the company?s long-term goals.

A large cost at the construction sites today is the labour cost of the workers. But unfortunately the worker potential is not used to full. It is not unusual to take into a count with a work-­?place-­?additional-­?time of 50% in some cases. By increasing the workers' motivation and responsibility for their tasks may reduce the time considerably, which also increases the potential for greater gains in construction projects.By using the situational leadership may the workers level of maturity develop entirely.

Inriktningen på uppsatsen kommer att vara vilken nyttja och vilket behov svensk militär kan ha med helikoptern som verktyg i en militär operation.Ämnet belyses genom en analys av ett historiskt skeende där helikoptern för första gången fick påvisa sina styrkor och svagheter som verktyg i ett konfliktområde.Uppsatsen behandlar den delen av Vietnamkriget, då fokus från många nationer och inte minst närvaro av amerikansk militär var som störst (1965-75). Fokus på uppsatsen kommer att vara vilken effekt helikoptern bidrog med under operationerna i Vietnam kopplat mot krigets grundläggande förmågor. [1]Ämnet är intressant i förhållande till de planerade förändringarna i Försvarsmakten idag, då den luftburna förmågan kan komma att försvinna. Därför är det viktigt att belysa vad helikopterunderstöd kan göra för skillnad i en militär operation.Anledning till att uppsatsen kommer behandla Vietnamkriget är att striderna i Vietnam var de första striderna i betydande omfattning där en armékår nyttjade helikoptrar. Vietnamkriget är även väldokumenterat och ger ett bra underlag för denna typ av arbete.

Introduktion: Depression, ångest, stress och ätstörningsproblematik har visat sig ha en hög prevalens hos personer som lider av obesitas. Syfte: Att undersöka om och i så fall hur ångest och depression mätt i HADS förändras i en grupp som genomgått överviktskirurgi. Av intresse var också att undersöka om viktnedgång samt om preoperativa symtom på stress, hetsätning och känslomässigt ätande predicerar utfallet av symtom på ångest och depression postoperativt. Metod: 30 patienter som genomgått överviktskirurgi på Akademiska sjukhuset i Uppsala under våren 2011 inkluderades i studien. Dessa patienter hade innan genomgången operation och vid en uppföljning sex månader postoperativt besvarat olika screeningformulär avseende psykiskt välmående, ätstörningar och stress.

Att genomgå en operation innebär en stor fysisk och psykisk påfrestning för patienten. Att genomgå en operation och den efterföljande vistelsen på vårdavdelningen innebär att en individ tas ur sitt sammanhang och detta kan försvåra individens förmåga att uppleva hälsa. Under den postoperativa perioden finns flertalet faktorer som påverkar patienten antingen negativt eller positivt och innebär en direkt förändring i patientens livsvärld. Husserls livsvärldsteori innebär att en individs livsvärld är individuell och att den konstant påverkas av interna och externa faktorer.Syftet med denna uppsats var att beskriva patientens upplevelser av den postoperativa vistelsen på en vårdavdelning. Metoden som använts i denna uppsats var en systematisk litteraturstudie som baserades på tolv artiklar som kvalitetsgranskades och analyserades.Resultatet utgjordes av tre huvudkategorer; Patientens kroppsliga upplevelse under den postoperativa vistelsen på vårdavdelningen, patientens psykiska och emotionella upplevelse under den postoperativa vistelsen på vårdavdelningen samt postoperativa möten och  relationer på vårdavdelningen.
