With background in the rapidly growing need to find solutions for sustainable energy production and the increasing interest for wind power, this report was written. With take-off point from the wind power plant Big Glenn, which has been built in the harbour of Gothenburg, a model of the adjacent power grid has been created in Simulink/SimPowerSystems. Parameters for the power grid and its components has been provided by Göteborg Energi Nät, that has also been the supplier of measurement data of produced power, the power need from loads in the vicinity, voltage levels, current values and also the variation of power factor at the wind power plant.The SimPowerSystems model has been used to perform simulations of power flow in the grid. These simulated values have then been compared to the measured values to verify the functionality of the model. Further, the model has been used to perform simulations of a grid fault, which causes a voltage drop.

Pigs kept for meatproduction are often surgically castrated to prevent aggression and boartainted meat. Castration without analgesia and anesthesia is painful and causes a lot of stress to the pig. There are alternatives such as to surgically castrate the male pigs with analgesia and/or with anesthesia, immunocastrate or keep them as intact males. In Sweden the most common practice is to surgically castrate the pigs before they are seven days old. The impact on the pig is that the incision causes pain and stress, which may lead to changes in behaviour, reduced appetite, reduced growth and a higher risk of infections.

Abstract    Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate if inclinometer estimates of arm posture during paper mill work differed between periods of different arm visibility. The aim was also to identify strategies for and difficulties in assessing body-visibility on video. Methods: The study consisted of two parts, where part 1 aimed to investigate the validity of observation-based assessment of arm posture during paper mill work. Study 2 was a survey among people with experience in assessing the posture of paper mill workers from video. Results: The total time for the right upper arm visibility indicates that it was on average visible in 54%, partly visible 15 %  and not visible 31%.

Sjukdomen Fibromyalgi är vanlig bland kvinnor och innebär symtom som bland annat kronisk och utbredd smärta samt trötthetssyndrom där behandlingen går ut på att lindra symtomen. Fibromyalgi är lågprioriterad inom hälso- och sjukvården och möts fortfarande av en viss skepticism. Detta gör att patienter med denna sjukdom riskerar att känna sig misstrodda och kränkta när de söker hjälp. Därför är det viktigt att sjuksköterskan skapar en bra vårdrelation för att inte kränka patientens värdighet. Fibromyalgi kan leda till en förändrad livsvärld, vilket gör att det är viktigt att få en ökad förståelse för denna patientgrupp.

Propofol är ett intravenöst, hypnotiskt och kortverkande läkemedel. En vanlig biverkan (>1:10) och därmed en nackdel med propofol är lokal smärta, som kan uppstå vid den initiala injektionen. Varför smärta uppstår är inte helt klarlagt. Flertalet olika farmakologiska behandlingar, olika doser och kombinationer, alternativa administrationsmetoder och fysiska interventioner har provats för att minska smärtan vid propofolinjektionen. En viktig uppgift för sjuksköterskan är att lindra smärta för patienter.

A further purpose is to describe the study group in the included articles.Method: A descriptive literature review. This study is based on 12 scientific articles, searched in the databases Cinahl and Pubmed.

Digital artefacts such as smartphones have become an intricate part of our daily lives both private and professionally. They have evolved from doing simple tasks to become a form of expression, as well as acting as a gateway to the digital world of connections. We rely on various technology such as Wi-Fi networks to connect with others. They in turn have become more available and today, many establishments offer free network to their customers. With these developments comes different kind of risks for the user.

The development in photogrammetry has created possibilities for new methods in aerial images acquisition. Remotely-controlled imaging from an unmanned helium zeppelin is a new and relatively unexplored acquisition. The purpose with this degree project is to evaluate the accuracy of this kind of low-height photographing system, a task given from the consultant company WSP, in Sweden. Landbadet in Uddevalla municipality was chosen as a test field for the zeppelin. Seventeen images distributed over three strips were acquired from the flying height of 80 m.

 To enjoy work, and be satisfied in the work you do, is important to most people. Work scientific research shows that dissatisfaction with physical or the psychosocial work environment often gives negative effects on the performed work. The purpose of our study is to chart the experience in work satisfaction and psychosocial work environment amongst nurses within psychiatric care. It is an empiric cross section study. The participants in the study contains nurses who are either employed on a conditional tenure or have a temporary post (>3 months) in policlinics and wards in general adult psychiatric care (n=126).

Bakgrund: Cancersjukdom är bakomliggande orsak till över 90 procent av alla registrerade dödsfall på specialiserade palliativa vårdenheter i Sverige. Målet med omvårdnaden inom palliativ vård är att skapa förutsättningar för en så god livskvalitet som möjligt för patienten oavsett diagnos. Det symtom som cancer oftast förknippas med är smärta och flertalet patienter inom palliativ vård har behandlingskrävande smärta. Sjuksköterskan tillhör den yrkesprofession som oftast står närmst patienten och bedömer patientens problematik. Ett av sjuksköterskans ansvarsområden är att lindra lidande.

High demands are set on all equipment used in emergency service work, where small margins can be the distinguishing factor between life and death during a rescue operation. It is important that tools such as ladders quickly and easily can be dismounted from a vehicle and still satisfy the regulatory requirements for securing loads during transport. The existing solution for getting ladders down from the roof of a fire engine requires a large manual effort from the user in an ergonomically unsound posture.In this degree project a new ladder holder is developed with focus on the user to solve the ergonomic problems and at the same time create a more compact design that can be adapted to several different types of ladders. After an initial pre-study with user-interviews and measurement of forces and distances a set of requirements was formulated that came to govern the project's direction. Creative methods were used to generate concepts that improved the function and through design solutions, calculations and testing in CAD a base for manufacturing of a new product was created.The result is a completely new type of ladder holder that minimizes the user's manual effort and simplifies the securing of ladders in the holder.

The rollpress is used towash and dewater pulp. The existing solution creates forces that have to be absorbedby the gable of the press.

Companies and special interest organizations pays multiple millions each year in order to reach out with messages about that their products are biggest, best and most beautiful. The publicity happens among thing like TV, in brochures, on the Internet andin newspapers etc. places. This means that consumer permanently becomes affected of publicity, and is thereby in an exposed situation. Around the EU, the border of what to consider undue or not, have been in different levels.
