Kroppens harmoni : om relationalitet i G.W Leibnizs monadologi
The purpose of this essay is to discuss relationality in G.W Leibnizs Monadologie (1714). In general terms this essay analyzes the notion of individuation in relation to the concept of monads. The analysis proposes a question regarding the body in this individuation, and what consequences follows for the understanding of the relation between the single individual and other individuals. It will be shown that the irreducibility of having a body transcendens something like ownness, subjectivity, personality and individuation, and this is explained through the pre-established harmony between the monads ? where the plurality of monads is detected before the monads singularity. To widen this investigation of relationality between the monads, I will turn to Edmund Husserls phenomenological operation for solving the egological problem of solipsism in Cartesian Meditations (1929). In his meditations, Husserl uses the monad as a self-conscious ego with peculiar ownness.
Dendroklimatologisk analys av lokalklimat vid Grövelsjön i Dalafjällen
Climate on earth is getting warmer, which effects earth?s energy balance and so forth the ocean and atmospheric circulation. In many sub-polar regions on the northern hemisphere changes due to warming of the climate can be observed. Some examples that already have been observed are shifts in tree line, towards higher altitudes and latitudes, increased ablation of Swedish glaciers and melting of the permafrost on the Siberian tundra. In Sweden climate change scenarios tell us that it will become warmer and that a higher amount of precipitation in form of rain will be an effect from this. To study climate changes in Sweden, transition zones are useful in order to observe changes in distribution of species and animal populations.
"Bitten by the Polar bug": En studie om transformativa upplevelser under Students on Ice universitetsexpeditioner till Antarktis
Det finns i dagsläget begränsad forskning kring transformativa upplevelser och ambassadörskap utifrån polarexpeditioner. Denna studie riktar sig till att undersöka om universitetsstudenter som deltagit i Students on Ice?s expeditioner till Antarktis år 2009 och 2011 visar tendenser till att ha transformerats av upplevelsen och utvecklat ett ambassadörskap för polarområdet.Genom att ha analyserat studenternas upplevelser och känslor utifrån enkätstudier från 2009 och 2011 tillsammans med ett workshopmaterial från 2011 års expedition, kan vi se tendenser hos respondenterna på att en transformation och ett utvecklande av ambassadörskap har ägt rum. Vi kan däremot inte konstatera att det endast är utifrån polarexpeditionerna transformationen inträffat, då ett antal studenter uttrycker att de redan innan varit engagerade i miljöfrågor samt klimataspekter gällande Antarktis. Vår egen reflektion från expeditionen 2011 har bidragit till en djupare förståelse under analysmomenten.
Individuation : Ontogenes : Prolegomena till Gilbert Simondons genetiska ontologi
The following text constitutes an attempt to present the French philosopher Gilbert Simondon's genetic ontology through an account of his reconfiguration of the problem of individuation in his doctoral thesis from 1958, L'individuation à la lumière des notions de forme, information, potentiel, métastabilité. The intention is to show how Simondon through this reconfiguration of a classical philosophical problem ? in which concepts and schemas from contemporary physics and technology is utilised in a critique of the bi-polar hylomorphic schema as its traditional, substantialistic solution ? becomes able to articulate an anti-substantialistic and anti-reductionistic ontogenesis as first philosophy. A systematic philosophical conception that according to Simondon precedes every critical investigation of the subject as well as every scientific ontology ? not by establishing a pre-critical position, but by exceeding Kant's critical position: that is, through a displacement toward a conception of the transcendental conditions for the genesis of being and thought as real conditions, rather than conditions of mere possibility.
Komplexa behov i negativa spiraler : Ungdomar med neuropsykiatriska funktionshinder och dess anhöriga möter skola och vård
This study aims to examine how families that during a long time have lived with neuropsychiatric disabilities have experienced their contact with different authorities. The study builds on qualitative interviews with two young people and five parents, from four different families. Focus in the paper lies mainly on the families' experiences of the school and different care sectors.The result shows that there is a great number of aspects as lack of information, lack of knowledge, dislodges between different authorities lack of support from school and care sectors, incorrect medication and shortage of long-term plans for treatment, which the families experienced as problematic. These aspects have also brought dramatic consequences that have strengthened the disabilities' negative effects.The result also shows that the parents are very active and bears a great responsibility for the child's health. The parents are in large extent alone in search for care, arranging meetings, searching for information, taking care of the children's medication etc.
Utvärdering av Near Field Communication och Certified Wireless USB : Säkerhet vid utveckling av applikationer
Today?s society is one where technological advances are made daily, which increases the need to stop and assess the risks against users? integrity when integrating new technology in contemporary systems all the greater. We have taken two technologies, Near Field Communication and Certified Wireless USB, whose envisioned area of use is to be integrated into mobile phones, and evaluated what security threats are revealed for the respective technologies. The threats against security have been identified through research of the standards and existing reports for each technology. Practical experiments have not been conducted on account of us not having access to any equipment to run such trials.
Development of a method for determination of pesticide residues in honey using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry
Honey is a product that may contain pesticide residues due to contamination from bees pollinating various plants as well as elimination of vermin inside the hive. Different methods are needed for analysis of pesticides, since the term includes a wide range of different substances. National Food Administration lacks a validated method for determination and quantification of pesticides in honey using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry, LC-MS/MS. The technique is especially important in analysis of polar and non-volatile pesticides, where gas chromatography is not functioning optimally. After investigating what pesticides could be found in honey produced in Sweden, a number of four pesticides suitable for analysis with LC-MS/MS was compiled; boscalid, impidacloprid, tau-fluvalinate and thiacloprid.
Från 7-Eleven till vegetarisk KRAV-märkt buffé : Den förändrade organisationen av skolmåltider och dess relation till skolornas symboliska tillgångar
The purpose of this study is to examine how school meals are organized in a selection of Stockholm's secondary schools and to examine the relationship between school meals and the different parameters that indicate each school's symbolic capital and educational capital. By looking at the statistics from each school on the basis of the final grade average, percentage of pupils with foreign background and gender, I examine whether it is possible to see a relationship between how schools organize meals and which pupils attend the school. In my study, I systematically went through each school's website and tried to identify how school meals at each school are organized. To increase the validity of the study, I have also conducted a questionnaire survey by mail addressed to school principals. In order to analyse and understand my results and put them in relation to my current knowledge about the schools in my sample, I am using Bourdieu's theoretical tools that a given aid, both in methodological and analytical purpose. Based on Bourdieu's theories of symbolic capital, cultural capital and educational capital, I can understand and analyse school meals are organized and focused as part of schools' symbolic assets in competition with other schools. The first part of the study shows that there are four different organizational models for school meals, fully equipped kitchen and canteen, heating kitchen and canteen, school meals in restaurants and school meal card. In the second part, I have examined the relationship between the type of organization for school meals used and the symbolic resources available at the school. I can conclude from the results that it is difficult to find a correlation between the symbolic resources and the different categories. But even though it is not possible to see all the schools' symbolic assets equally clear, there are still some very telling examples. In many ways, these examples can be seen as polar opposites to each other based on Mikael Palme?s concepts ?goal rational? and ?education oriented? schools..

Europeisk fusionskontroll : på olika villkor
The decision of the European Commission to block the merger between Volvo and Scania in the late 90?s became the starting point to the debate of the possible discriminating effects of the European merger regulation. Especially since the Commission a few years earlier had approved of the merger between Mercedes-Benz and Kässbohrer on the German bus market, where the conditions for competition had been similar to those at hand in the Swedish case. The issue that was and still is in focus is whether the European merger regulation is more difficult to pass for large companies situated on a smaller domestic market than is the case for their competitors of corresponding size but situated on a larger domestic market.This thesis aims at examining what the judgement of the geographical relevant market means for the application of the Merger act. This is being done from two perspectives.
Leaf structure and localization of a transgene protein in barley
Barley is one of the most important cereals cultivated in the Nordic countries. Climate change brings warmer and moisture climate which favors fungal diseases. In the cropland barley can be seriously infested with hard fungus attack. Since it is important that the yield bears a high quality it is of great importance to find varieties more resistant to attacks.Pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins are stress proteins induced in the plant in response to infection and abiotic stress (van Loon, 1997). PRs are shown to have antimicrobial activity differing between bacteria, fungi and oomycetes (Tandrup Poulsen, 2001).
Ergometercykeltest visavi Steptest : Fysiologisk jämförelse mellan två skilda arbeten
Syfte och frågeställningSyftet med studien var att undersöka sambandet mellan hjärtfrekvens (HF), skattad ansträngning samt syreupptag i jämförandet av två arbetsformer; ergometercykel och steplåda. Frågeställning var: hur ser sambandet ut mellan arbetseffekt och HF samt skattad ansträngning för de två arbetena på de givna submaximala effektnivåerna 75 Watt, 125 W samt 175 W. Studien har även för avsikt att jämföra den skattade ansträngningen på ergometercykel kontra den på steplåda vid försök att uppnå maxpuls. Vidare att jämföra den beräknade maximala syreupptagningsförmågan vid Rhyming & Åstrands steptest med den beräknade maximala syreupptagningsförmågan för denna studies modifierade Åstrandstest på ergometercykel. Dessa jämförs sedan med den bestämda maximala syreupptagningsförmågan på ergometercykel.MetodDatainsamlingen har skett genom att 16 testpersoner, åtta kvinnor och åtta män, utfört två maximala tester, ett On-linetest på ergometercykel Monark Ergomedic 839E där utandningsluften analyserades i blandningskammmare (Oxycon Pro, Jaeger GmbH) och ett på steplåda där enbart HF och skattad ansträngning registrerades med pulsklockan Polar Accurex plus och enligt Borgs RPE-skala, samt två submaximala tester, ett per redskap.ResultatVid jämförelse av de två arbetena vid samma givna effekt var testpersonernas HF högre på samtliga submaximala effektnivåer.

Do grizzly bears use or avoid wellsites in west-central Alberta, Canada?
The purpose of this report is to make an evaluation of the self-monitoring for scarification which Stora Enso is using and this study deals with the effects and importance of scarification. A comparison is made in this study with the purpose to highlight any differences between some of the leading forestry companies and significant forest organizations in Sweden. The companies represented in this report are Korsnäs, Mellanskog, SCA, Sveaskog and Södra.
In the beginning of this study an interview form was set up together with Daniel Forsberg at Stora Enso. Stora Enso is the head object of this report and seven interviews were made within that company. At the other companies only three interviews were made within each one, with an exception to Mellanskog who wished four.
