Background: Power by force and threats used to be the common way to collect taxes, but this procedure is today completely different. It?s now more about building a mutual relationship and with help of laws and controls steer citizens and companies to pay the tax they owe. Thus the way to collect taxes have changed over the years, the collecting of taxes aren?t a popular task to do.

The study seeks to investigate and understand how individuals create their identity from the perspective of two countries and cultures, and how these affect their current lives today. The focus of the study is aimed at young adults who have mostly or entirely grown up in Sweden to parents that have migrated. The material is based on seven qualitative, semi-structured interviews. The result is then divided into three themes; ethnic and cultural belonging, life impact, and the preservation and passing on of culture. The derivation of the first theme is that there are mixed views regarding the cultural association of the persons interviewed.

The trend in the transport sector is moving towards eco-friendly, fast and convenient transportation,this results in higher demands on railway transports. To meet the demand and quality requirements,the Swedish railway network will have to expand. The cheapest way is to expand little by little butwhat impact do these small steps actually have on the capacity?This thesis examines the interactions of different improvement for the capacity on a single-trackrailway. Through simulations in the software tool RailSys this report studies what effect block signals,extra meeting stations and rebuilding existing two track passing loops to three track loops have onthe capacity.

Through a quantitative examination, 26 pedagogies in the pre-school activity answered a few questions in an enquiry about outdoor education. The purpose with this examination was to find out what pedagogies think and apprehend about outdoor education, and also if the "education plan" is in their minds during outdoor activities and if they see them self´s as competent in nature studies. They have also answered questions whether they think that they have good outdoor environment that stimulates children´s development and learning and if there´s any forest that they visit on regular basis.The pedagogies think that during time spent outdoor, it´s the motor skills that are best developed. All of the pedagogies mentioned above think that they need to get more educated in nature studies and also that pedagogies attitude towards time spent outdoors affect the children. They do not think about the goals and intentions of the "educations plan" all the time.

Syftet med denna rapport är att undersöka huruvida den praktiska examinationen inom ämnet vapen och taktik på Polisutbildningen vid Umeå Universitet skulle kunna kompletteras med en mer tillämpad examination i form av en upplevelsebaserad övning. Eftersom författarna genomgått större delen av den vapenutbildning som bedrivs vid skolan har det uppstått frågetecken över vad den nuvarande examinationen egentligen visar. Problemet har även påvisats ur vapenlärarnas perspektiv och det blev upptakten till denna rapport. Dagens examination bygger mycket på den motoriska inlärningen och att skytten rent precisionsmässigt skall kunna verka med tjänstevapnet, som i och för sig är viktig för ett säkert och bra agerande. Däremot tar den inte sikte på den identifiering och definiering samt det stresspåslag som alla är ingredienser i en verklighetsnära situation.

Lameness from the carpus is not unusual in the horse. Multiple soft tissue structures such as tendons, ligaments, the joint capsule and synovial structures can be the originating source. All these structures can be examined with ultrasound, although a description of a systematic examination method is lacking. That is ? which structures, what they look like in an ultrasound examination, how to look at them in the best way, and in what order.

The purpose of this thesis was to examine if users of digital music games may acquire skills from the games that may be of use in learning to play a real instrument, that is a non-digitally simulated instrument like an acoustic piano. We have used Gee?s theory regarding a possible interconnection between different semiotic domains, and how this connection may enable a transfer of skills between related domains. In this thesis we examine possible skill transfer between the domains ?digital games? and ?non-digital instruments?. To examine our question formulation we chose to conduct a pilot study from which we collected both quantitative and qualitative data.

This study is based on an examination of students? habits of using the Internet in formal and informal environments. The focus within this study is on what kind of activities students use the Internet for and how and if their teacher connect the students actual usage of the Internet to base the education in school on it. What we have discovered in this report is that the student in this examination uses the Internet as a tool for communicative and entertaining purposes. Though, the use of the Internet is different depending on which physical environment it is situated in.

Hip dysplasia is a common, inherited malformation of the coxofemoral joint that eventually leads to osteoarthrosis. Several breeds of dogs are affected and the prevalence varies between different breeds. As part of the effort to reduce the prevalence of hip dysplasia and select dogs suitable for breeding, radiological screening is performed by at least 12 months of age. Before the radiological examination the dog has to be chemically restrained, sedated or anesthetized. The sedation protocol used differs between veterinary clinics. The impact of sedation method of the screening result for hip dysplasia has been studied.

Den här undersökningen gjorde i samband med ett försök i lärarutbildningen, där studenterna själva fick välja examinationsform i en kurs. Dels fick de fyra olika examinationsformer angivna, men de erbjöds även att själva föreslå hur de skulle bli examinerade.Syftet var att undersöka hur studenterna såg på sin egen bedömning och examination, och hur de valde examinationsform utifrån detta.Som metod valdes att studenterna, efter att ha genomfört kursen med den examination de valt, fick bevara en enkät om tidigare erfarenheter av examinationer, om sin syn på dessa och på bedömningar, om vilka examinationsformer/aktiviteter de såg som mest nyttiga i sina egna lärprocesser, och om vilken examinationsform de valde och varför.Resultatet visar att även om studenterna såg examinationen som ett lärtillfälle och uppskattade möjligheten att fritt välja examinationsform, så valde de inte examinationsform efter hur de tillmätte olika former av uttryck/aktiviteter nytta i sin lärprocess. Bara två av de 119 studenter som besvarade enkäten valde att själva formulera sin examination.Snarare valde studenterna den examinationsform de ansåg sig ha lättast att formulera sig genom och få högst betyg i. Fokus för examinationen kom alltså att hamna där istället för på den egna lärprocessen, vilken ofta upplevs som desto mer frustrerande och arbetsam ju gynnsammare den är.I diskussionen tas upp frågan om huruvida det är bra om studenterna själva får välja hur de ska examineras, och hur man i så fall kan påverka dem att välja de examinationsformer som utvecklar respektive individ bäst..

Background: Physical activity is important to sustain your health, but there are also other factors which can influence health. One of them is the degree of sense of coherence. Aim: The main purpose of this study was to examine if there existed a correlation between amount of physical activity and degree of sense of coherence (SOC) in adolescents in the northern parts of Sweden. This study also dealt with differences and similarities between and within the whole examination- group and subgroups. Methods: A SOC- questionnaire with 29 items, developed by Antonovsky, was used.

The aim of this study was to describe young women's experiences of midwives/ gynaecologists treatment in connection to gynaecological examination. A further aim was to achieve a better understanding of the factors that can form the basis of the experience of treatment. A qualitative study was performed in which the participants (N=10) was Swedish-speaking women aged 18-25 years, with experience of at least one gynaecological examination. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, using an interview guide. The material was analyzed according to Graneheim and Lundman´s (2004) method for qualitative content analysis.
