På LKAB:s produktionsanläggning i Malmberget vill LKAB öka produktionskapaciteten med ca 20 % i anrikningsverket. Ett av flera alternativ för att uppnå en sådan kapacitetsökning är att installera en HPGR (High Pressure Grinding Roll) i en av Malmbergets sektioner. Tidigare studier av HPGR har visat på en möjlig kapacitetsökning samt en energibesparing. En försöksserie har genomförts för att undersöka hur väl Malmbergets malm (med interna specifika benämningen PAR) krossas i en HPGR samt om malmens malbarhet ökar. Testerna är genomförda på Hacettepe universitet i Ankara, Turkiet, med deras tryckutrustning anpassad för HPGR undersökningar.

Torstensson, Niklas (2012): Anledningar till olikheter mellan Svenska kommuners skolkvalitet (Causes behind the differences in Swedish municipality´s quality of school) Örebro University.This essay is an explorative case study that will compare four Swedish municipalities quality of local school system against the municipality ´s backgrounddata and a governing document: Skolplan. This study begins in a previous benchmarking study made by one of Sweden?s teachers unions Lärarförbundet. This is a statistical study that ranked the Swedish municipalities against each other?s according to their accomplishments in a number of areas related to their school systems.

The local politicians in Sweden are responsible for a great deal of the welfare system why one would assume that there are a lot of demands put on them - demands for certain skills or a certain level of competence. I have in this study tried to find out how the demands on the local representatives concerning the demands for competence and the actual level of competence among the politicians are affecting the local politics. This was done through investigating how the local politicians are perceiving their level of competence and the demands put on them, but also how the employees are perceiving the demands and the level of competence put on the politicians. The study was made in the municipality of Gislaved in Southern Sweden. I was using both quantitative method (an opinion poll among the politicians and employees in the municipality) and qualitative method (interviews with three politicians and three employees and literature studies).In order to investigate the demands for competence I split the concept into ?soft? competence (socially and emotionally based skills), and ?hard? competence (skills based on knowledge, education and experience).

Every plan and program decided on by an authority or municipality, where the environmental impact can be considerable, must be environmentally assessed according to Environmental Code, the Planning and Building Act (PBA) and the Regulation on Environmental Impact Assessment.The purpose of this study is to examine the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for The Region Development Plan for the Stockholm Region, RUFS 2010. The plan was approved by at that time the Regional Planning Office (Regionplanekontoret), which procured the process by consultants. RUFS 2010 includes two merged plans ie. a regional Development Plan (RUP) and the Regional Spatial Plan for Stockholm. It was necessary to establish an environmental assessment of RUP, but not for the regional plan.

Den första serietillverkade hjulskotaren i Sverige presenterades 1962. Skotaren blev revolutionerande för mekaniseringen av terrängtransporterna. Hästarna ersattes och var i början av 1970-talet nästan borta från skogsbruket. Mekaniseringen innebar stor produktivitetsökning med ökade avverkningsvolymer. Hjulburna skotare har sedan introduktionen tills idag varit dominerande i det svenska skogsbruket. Under 2012 fanns ett fjortontal tillverkare av hjulskotare, vilka succesivt fått bredare hjul, mer avancerade motorer och transmissioner. Syftet med denna studie var att sammanställa tekniska data och försäljningssiffror i Sverige för hjulskotare tillverkade i de Nordiska länderna från deras introduktion 1962 fram till och med 2012 samt att besvara den frågeställning som ställts upp i studien genom att statistiskt styrka trender genom att testa hypoteserna H0: ?1 = 0 och H1: ?1 ? 0. Litteraturstudien har utförts med datainsamling av tekniska specifikationer samt årtal då serietillverkning av skotarna påbörjats.

Bakgrund: Trycksår har varit känt sedan ca 2000 f.Kr. ändå kvarstår problemet. Det är idag ett utbrett problemområde inom vården då patienter ständigt drabbas av nya trycksår trots att välbeskrivna preventionsåtgärder och riktlinjer finns att tillgå. Främst drabbade är äldre, personer som har någon form av rörelsehinder, är sängliggande eller stillasittande stora delar av dygnet. Trycksår innebär ett stort lidande för den drabbade patienten, främst i form av konstant smärta.

Denna enk?tstudie unders?ker vad f?rskolepersonal har f?r kunskap och erfarenhet av diagnosen selektiv mutism (SM) och tal?ngslan, samt om personalen anser att ytterligare utbildning beh?vs. Studien tar utg?ngspunkt i en brist p? forskning som fokuseras p? selektiv mutism i f?rskolan. Selektiv mutism ?r en ?ngestrelaterad diagnos som vanligtvis debuterar i f?rskole?ldern.

This thesis concerns how the power quality in the grid is affected by the connection of wind power plants. As things are at present, Fortum Distribution AB has a number of wind turbines and wind parks connected to the own grid. As the pressure on building and connecting additional wind power is increasing, so is also the interest of how the already existing wind power generation affects the power quality in the nearby distribution grids. The study is performed by direction of Fortum Distribution AB and is limited to the 10 kV/40 kV-grid in Bohuslän, Sweden. The methods for calculation of power quality are compared to the results of a number of measurements.

The residential yard at Kvarteret Landsfiskalen 1, in the area Herrgården in Rosengård, Malmö was built in 1971 and has since then been reconstructed twice, in 1984 and 2008. The yard is found in an area which was built during the years 1965 ? 1974, a period in which the swedish goverment approved a decision to build one million homes, and much of the events in this particular yard is also typical for the process in many other areas built during the same period.At the original construction the design of the yard was entirely incused by the pressure in time and finance, one was under at that time, in order to over- come the housing shortage. The design it has nevertheless been given, reflects the esthetic ideals of that time well.The building of the area was barely finished when the swedish authori- ties started handing out grants in order to support the rearmament of the outdoor environment in the areas built during the so called ?million program?.

Ungulates are causing conflicts between stakeholders due to browsing damage on forests and agricultural crops. At the same time there is a big demand of keeping high ungulate densities for sports hunting and recreational purposes. Movement patterns of ungulates are strongly correlated with forage availability. Therefore, measures affecting forage quantity and distribution might be a tool to reduce the economical losses in forestry without decreasing the ungulate densities and thereby decrease the conflict between different interest groups.This study investigated the potential biomass production and utilisation of marrow-stem kale (Brassica oleracea var. medullosa), at game fields in Misterhult, Sweden, as well as browsing effects on adjacent forests.

Bakgrund: Ett trycksår orsakar fysiskt, mentalt, emotionellt och socialt lidande för patienten. Även behandlingar som patienten behöver vara med om innefattar ett lidande och en rädsla för den smärta de upplever vid dessa. En rädsla för att såret inte ska läka och att få infektioner eller behöva amputera. Sjuksköterskan har en viktig uppgift vad gäller förebyggande åtgärder vid risk för trycksår, att ge en god omvårdnad och behandling. Detta trots att patienten upplever smärta vid omläggningen av såret.Syfte: Syftet med studien var att beskriva hur patienter som lever med svårläkta trycksår upplever sin situation och att kategorisera upplevelserna utifrån WHOQOL-instrumentets fyra dimensioner av livskvalitet.Metod: En litteraturstudie baserad på nio kvalitativa artiklar som kategoriserats utifrån WHOQOL-BREF:s fyra kategorier som referensram.Resultat: Patienter som lever med svårläkta trycksår upplever att deras liv påverkas på grund av fysiska, psykiska, sociala och miljörelaterade faktorer som smärta, oro/ångest, minskad social kontakt och att vara beroende av vården.Slutsats: Patienternas livskvalitet påverkas både fysiskt av att ha ett sår vilket gav konsekvenser för det psykiska välmåendet och den sociala kontakten.

The interest in horses and equestrian sport is constantly increasing, and so is the will in both riders and trainers to learn more about the effect the rider and its equipment have on the horse. The last twenty years, more and more studies have been performed were the horse and its kinematics have been in focus. The access to more advanced technology has made it possible to study areas, which earlier have been hard to reach. The knowledge about kinematics in the horse, and how riders and their equipment interact with the horse?s movement, is also of great interest to veterinarians in equine practice.

Syftet med denna studie var att belysa vårdlärarnas lärarkompetens och deras uppfattning om vilken kompetens som behövs i valideringssituationer inom vård- och omsorgsutbildning. Frågeställningarna var: vilken lärarkompetens har lärarna som arbetar med validering och behövs det någon specifik lärarkompetens i valideringssituationer. Vi har valt att använda oss av en kvalitativ metod i denna studie där målet har varit att få en förståelse för lärarnas egna upplevelser och uppfattningar. Studien genomfördes med halvstrukturerade intervjuer med sex lärare inom omvårdnadsprogrammet. Resultatet visar att ingen av lärarna i studien har en formell utbildning i validering, samtliga har dock gedigen erfarenhet av såväl praktiskt arbete inom sitt eget ämnesområde som undervisning inom vuxenutbildningen.

Time studies in dairy production are an essential tool when deciding about level of mechanisation and automatisation both in investment situation and improving efficiency in existing operations. In previous investigations such studies have been carried out during normal barn conditions during winter. Since there is a compulsory to have dairy cows grazing 3 to 5 months during summer time in Sweden time studies during this season is important to have a full picture of needed working time. During grazing season time studies was carried out at 14 dairy farms representing herd sizes from 66 to 450 dairy cows of which 6 farms with AMS. 8 farms were the same as studied during winter season.
