SjÀlvdestruktivt beteende hos ungdomspopulationen ett svÄrbehandlat problem och tre till fyra gÄnger sÄ vanligt hos flickor som hos pojkar. PÄ ett behandlingshem i Bergslagen för unga kvinnor med sjÀlvdestruktivt beteende, har man pÄfallande goda resultat. Förutom kognitiv psykoterapi i grupp och enskilt, erbjuds de unga kvinnorna hÀstassisterad terapi.Denna uppsats har som syfte att fördjupa kunskapen om vad hÀstassisterad terapi Àr samt vad terapeut och patient upplever som verksamt med ridningen. Metoden Àr dels en begrÀnsad litteraturstudie, dels en kvalitativ undersökning pÄ det aktuella behandlingshemmet dÀr förestÄndare och patienter intervjuas.Studien ger vid handen att hÀstassisterad terapi Àr en form av Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) dÄ den, som all annan AAT innebÀr interaktion mellan patient och ett utbildat djur tillsammans med sin skötare, med mÄlet att underlÀtta patientens utveckling mot terapeutiska mÄl.Författaren visar pÄ att terapeuten nÄr mÄl som annars kan vara svÄra att nÄ: Man nÄr kroppen med dess reservoar av minnen, alliansen stÀrks, och det Àr ett effektivt sÀtt att arbeta med medveten nÀrvaro. Subjektivt upplevda effekter hos patienterna Àr bland annat glÀdje, lugn, stolthet, sjÀlvförtroende och framtidstro.

Following the accident at the nuclear power plant in Chernobyl in 1986, great volumes of137Cs were distributed over large parts of the former Soviet Union and Europe. Over Scotland,radiocaesium was deposited as wet deposition. Due to the relatively long physical half-life of30 years, there are still measurable activity concentrations in the natural environment. Thisstudy was made on two organic soils, Knockandy Hill and Rora Moss, situated in the easternpart of the central highlands of Scotland. At these two sites, studies on migration and transferbetween soil and plants were conducted.

The Arctic region appears as a pristine remote environment, yet there is increasing evidence that it is greatly impacted by pollution such as lead (Pb) and mercury (Hg). In this environment deposition of Hg has increased threefold since the last industrial revolution. In this study five cryosolic soil profiles within non-sorted circles (NSC) in the Abisko region, northwest of Sweden, has been analyzed to improve our understanding regarding how pollutants are distributed within such type of soil. The soil samples have been analyzed with the use of X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF), for the measurements of the total concentrations of e.g. lead (Pb) and zirconium (Zr).

Glycerol is essential for the lipid metabolism of both plants and animals. Glycerol is formed in the rumen by hydrolysis of lipids from the feed. Glycerol is also a by-product from the production of biodiesel from rapeseed oil and other fat sources. Glycerol might be used as a dietary glucose precursor for dairy cows in similar ways as propylene glycol. Due to increased production of biodiesel more glycerol has been available to a lower price.

It is well known that dogs often have Helicobacter spp in their stomach. The importance of these bacteria in the development of gastrointestinal disease in dogs is still unknown. In humans, Helicobacter pylori is a causative agent of chronic gastritis and gastric ulcers. In contrast to humans, dogs seldom harbour naturally acquired H. pylori.

The purpose of this essay is to examine and explain how the Swedish mining court of Stora Kopparberget (the Great Copper Mountain) implemented its judicial legislation between 1641-1682. Questions are asked about which counts of indictments the court tried, which sentences they handed out, in what quantities and how these results looks in comparison with other contemporary courts. The index cards of the court judicial protocols are the primary source of information. The methods are those of quantity- and comparative analysis.The results show that theft of copper ore was the most common crime ransacked by the court. Other common crimes were (in order): sin of omission, transgression of work directions, fights, slander and disdain, trade of stolen ore, failing appearance in court etc.Fines were by far the most common sentence followed by shorter imprisonments, gauntlets, loss of right to mine possession, twig beating, loss of work, penal servitude, banishment, ?wooden horse riding? and finally military transcription.

I Lovisagruvan i Bergslagen bryts zink och bly, gruvvattnet (med pH 7-8) Àr förorenat av framförallt dessa metaller (577 ppb Zn, 341 ppb Pb). Reningen i de sedimentationsbassÀnger som finns pÄ omrÄdet fungerar inte tillrÀckligt bra. I denna studie anvÀndes sand frÄn StrÄssa (s.k. StrÄssamull) som filtermaterial för att rena vattnet. TvÄ olika sorters filtermassor testades, obehandlad StrÄssamull (SM) och jÀrnoxyhydroxidbelagd StrÄssamull (JSM).

 Fortum Distribution som ingÄr i Fortumkoncernen ansvarar för elförsörjning till kund. Uppgiften med detta examensarbete Àr att skapa en applikation i syfte att visa hur man kan anvÀnda GIS (Geografiska Informationssystem) för att korta ned instÀllelsetiden vid strömavbrott. Den 1/1 2006 infördes en lagreglering (Ellagen, kap 10, § 9-16) om avbrottsersÀttning, dÀrför vill energibolagen minska avbrottstiden sÄ mycket som möjligt, bland annat genom att korta ned instÀllelsetiden.

This study concerns the type of vegetation selected by cattle grazing on semi-natural pastures, and whether the selection depends on the nutrient content of the vegetation or on other factors. The study was carried out in three different semi-natural pastures in the Uppsala area during June, July and August in 2006. The three pastures were first surveyed, mapped out and divided into sub-areas with regard to the type of dominating vegetation. The vegetation types identified were: wet, mesic, dry, wooded, pasture with signs of former cultivation (arable). Within each vegetation type three 1x1 m sampling plots were laid out. The grazing behaviour of the cows was recorded in a behaviour study.

The aim of this study was to survey the labelling of drinks with pronounced healthbenefits found on the Swedish market today and to evaluate whether they are inaccordance to EU and national regulations or not. Especially the nutrition and healthclaims were looked into. This study shows that there are several drinks with claimedhealth effects being sold today. The process of approaching full functioningregulations in the EU on nutrition and health claims is proceeding slowly. A snapshotof today??s market of drinks with pronounced health effects shows that there aremultiple cases of misleading statements and interfering labelling on the products.Often it concerns nutritional labelling or health claims.

The development of software was considered until the beginning of the 1990th as a cathedral like product development in closed companies. This way of development changed in the last decade. Open source software (OSS) development challenged this consideration significantly. OSS is produced in co-operation by skilled people, distributed and used by many moral agents. The result, the software itself, can be studied and modified.

Cryptosporidium parvum is a protozoan parasite causing diarrhoea in many different animal species including cattle and man. It is an important enteric pathogen in neonatal calves and it is the second most common pathogen found in diarrhoeic calves in Sweden. Subclinically infected adult cattle have, in international studies, been shown to shed a low number of oocysts in faeces and this has been recognised as a potential source of infection for new-born calves. The detection methods used for diagnostic purposes are based on microscopic investigation of faecal smears. These methods have a fairly low sensitivity and samples from subclinically infected cattle have to be concentrated before analysis.

Eutrophication of the Baltic Sea is a serious problem. A major contributing factor is diffuse losses of phosphorus (P) from agricultural land in surrounding countries. In order to estimate P losses, environmental monitoring of small agriculture-dominated catchments is being carried out in most of these countries. Evaluation of the risk of P leaching to waters is usually based on chemical tests originally developed to quantify the amount of soil P available for plant production. The tests are performed in different ways in the different countries and a number of different extraction agents are in use.
