Bakgrund:Miljön är ett av de hetaste ämnena i världen för tillfället och uppe på mången agenda. De flesta företagsledare, politiker samt konsumenter har insett att vi inte kan fortsätta leva på samma sätt som vi gör nu, men ändå fortsätter användandet av miljöförstörande ämnen. En av miljöredovisningens uppgifter är att sätta press på företagen att följa gällande miljölagstiftning samt uppmärksamma allmänheten om pro-blemet så att de därigenom har tillräcklig kunskap om företagen och deras verksamhet för att kunna göra genomtänkta val. För att utveckla företagens sociala ansvar och bidra till en högre medvetenhet inom fö-retaget och bland intressenter har även personalfrågor inkluderats som obligatorisk information som ska lämnas i förvaltningsberättelsen.Syfte:Att beskriva och förklara i vilken utsträckning som tillståndspliktiga bo-lag i Jönköpings län följer aktuell lagstiftning och normgivning avseen-de miljöinformation och personalfrågor i förvaltningsberättelsen.Metod:En kvantitativ studie genomfördes på 199 tillståndspliktiga företag i Jönköpings län. Företagens förvaltningsberättelser lästes igenom för att kontrollera hur pass väl information om miljö samt personal redovisa-des.

In order to suggest improvements for the logistics of STARKA, we felt that we had to analyze all the activities which were related to STARKA's logistic processes. Our primary analysis consisted of a rough but comprehensive description of different functions in the company, and the relationship between them. This was performed by following a typical order through the company to see which functions were affected by the order.Since we needed a more thorough view of the company, we decided to analyze the different products STARKA currently has on the market, focusing on economic data such as turn-over, profit, profit margin, deficiency cost and cost of warehousing. We also analyzed the company's choice of manufacturing processes, organization, warehousing processes, strengths and weaknesses.These analyses gave us a clear understanding of the company and its processes. STARKA is a small, function oriented company with a wide range of products.

The general view of learning has dramatically changed during the last two decades. Today we talk about learning for life and educate to meet the demands of the information society. This new view forces us to constantly relearn and develop new knowledge ? something which has resulted in large restructuring within the upper secondary school. New forms of teaching, where the pupils are given the opportunity to a more active search for knowledge, is developing.

Hälta är idag den vanligaste anledningen till sjukdom hos svenska hästar och den vanligaste orsaken till hälta är osteoartrit (OA). Ställandet av diagnosen OA kommer ofta för sent så att irreversibla ledskador redan hunnit uppstå vilket gör det av yttersta betydelse att förbättra diagnostiken inom området. OA kan uppstå på flera olika sätt; akut trauma mot leden, intraartikulära frakturer, repetitivt trauma, skada på mjukdelar som orsakar en instabilitet i leden med flera. Förenklat kan OA orsakas till följd av en normal belastning på en onormal led eller onormal belastning på en normal led. Oavsett orsak ses skador på ledbrosket och beroende på hur utvecklad OA är kan röntgenförändringar ses, vilka avspeglar ett dåligt broskstatus.

BakgrundSedan 1970-talet har studier visat att män och kvinnor utövar våld i nära relationer till liknande grad. Även senare år har studier genomförts som visar att både män och kvinnor kan utöva och vara utsatta för våld i nära relationer.Män som blivit utsatta för våld i nära relationer söker hjälp både hos informella resurser som familj och vänner, samt hos formella resurser som hälso- och sjukvårdspersonal och hjälporganisationer. Männen upplever att de har blivit hjälpta till olika grad. Majoriteten av de män som sökt hjälp från olika hjälporganisationer upplever att organisationerna inte alls varit hjälpsamma, och många gånger har männen upplevt att de blivit dåligt bemötta.SyfteSyftet var att beskriva hur amerikansk hjälppersonal arbetar med heterosexuella män utsatta för våld i nära relationer samt deras tankar och upplevelser runt våldet.MetodSju semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes, varav en exkluderades. Intervjuerna transkriberades ordagrant.

Reasons for performing this study: Colic has for a long time been seen as a serious health problem in the equine population. Even so, the knowledge of colic seems to differ a great deal among the people interacting with horses. A large number of studies have for several years looked at risk factors that cause colic, in order to provide knowledge about them. The knowledge can then be used as tools for developing prophylactic methods in order to reduce the number of horses that develop colic. Objectives The aim with this study was to investigate if people have the correct knowledge about colic in horses, which risk factors that cause colic today and describe prophylactic methods that can result in avoidance of colic in horses. Method Eleven veterinary practices were contacted in order to send out two questionnaires for a study of six weeks.

Empirical material has been collected through semi-structured interviews with all the divisional managers. An extensive analysis of literature and research connected to Talent Management and tools for retention and development has formed the basis of the theoretical framework.Result and Conclusion: The conclusions we have drawn from this study is that to succeed with Talent Management, and the strategies that are in place to retain and develop employees, there must be an integral and comprehensive approach where business strategy and vision also permeates personnel strategy.

Sambandet mellan våld mot djur och våld i nära relationer är väl dokumenterat. Forskning har visat att en person som misshandlar sin partner kan använda djuren i hemmet som ett medel för att skrämma, kontrollera, hämnas och utsätta sin partner för tvång. Det kan ske genom hot att skada eller döda djuret och faktiska handlingar där personen ifråga gör det. Våld mot djur är också förknippat med eskalerande våld. Studier tyder på att djurens utsatthet gör det svårare för den våldsutsatta partnern att lämna förhållandet, då hen är orolig för vad som ska hända med djuret.

The purpose of this thesis was to determine what materials should be used when creating a stimulating garden for intellectually handicapped people and whether there are materials that are better than others to use in this kind of environment. How the materials preferably can be used and how the environment should be designed to satisfy the need of each individual will also be discussed. Seriously intellectually handicapped people have the same level of intelligence as a normal 0-2 year old child. It is important to point out that these individuals can not be compared to a normal child in other aspects than the level of abstract thinking and perception of reality. As the grown up intellectually handicapped people have remained a lot longer on this stage of intelligence they have got more experience. (Kylén 1981) It is important with a lot of different experiences for the brain to develop normally, which implies the use of many different materials to achieve the best stimulation (Kylén 1981).

Wound care of the horse?s distal part of the leg is challenging. Due to that distal limb wounds are easily enlarged, infected and generally heal slower than wounds on the body of the horse, the need for improved wound nursing arise. One way of improving wound nursing is to evaluate new ways of healing treatment. In this study, evaluation was made of a new product consisting of lactic acid bacteria and honey.

Business is changing and so are society?s expectations. Companies are expected to take responsibility for their trade and the context they are operating in, by looking at socially, economically and environmentally aspects. Many companies handle it by implementing corporate social responsibility (CSR) to their line of action. This is often handled by collaborating with other organisations, such as non-governmental organisations.
