Background: The purpose of the present study was to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of deliberate self-harm in a Swedish University population.Method: A random sample of first year students at University of Kalmar was invited to participate in an Internet-based survey in the autumn of 2007. A total of 139 (53,1 %) completed the anonymous survey.Results: The results showed that 25,2 % (n=35) of the students reported having engaged in some kind of deliberate self-harm at least once, and deliberate self-harm was endorsed by 7,9 % within the past year. The most frequently procedures to self-harm were to tear, carve or pinch self, cutting skin and hitting self on purpose. 37,1 % reported that they had told no one about their self-injurious behaviors and 36,4 % significantly reported that they had no one they trusted and who they could talk to if they were concerned about something. Students with self-injurious behavior were also more likely to report a history of emotional, sexual and/or physical abuse, alcohol and drug use, cut classes and questioning their sexual orientation.Conclusions: Findings suggest that self-harm is associated with risk factors and that self-injury is not only associated with adolescence but also with adulthood.

Bakgrund: Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protokoll finns inom de flesta kirurgiska omr?dena men saknas till stor del inom hj?rtkirurgi, speciellt inom svensk sjukv?rd. Fler och fler kliniker implementerar ERAS-protokoll inom de olika kirurgiska specialiteterna. Postoperativt illam?ende och kr?kning (PONV) kan leda till on?digt lidande hos de patienter som drabbas.

Idag tar ma?nniskan del av mer information a?n na?gonsin, inte minst den yngre generationen. Det konstanta flo?det som tas del av pa?verkar individen och fo?rsa?tter denne i ett beroende da?r det blir till ett behov att svara pa? meddelanden, att ha?nga med i sammanhanget och att vara delaktig. Till slut o?verbelastas ma?nniskan ba?de psykiskt och fysiskt av den informationen som ma?ste tolkas.Man skulle kunna pa?sta? att det a?r ett samha?llsproblem, det a?r en norm att ha ma?nga fler va?nner i den digitala va?rlden a?n i verkligheten.

Many species of amphibians are threatened both in Sweden and globally. The causes are many and a main factor is habitat alterations which often results in populations being isolated. Changes in the agricultural landscape have among other things resulted in small water bodies being filled and dried out and that has severely affected the Swedish amphibians. Swedish amphibians are depended upon small water bodies for their reproduction. Wetlands have been constructed to reduce the impacts of the eutrophication in the Laholm bay.

I min utbildning till sa?ngpedagog sta?lls krav pa? genrebredd vilket har va?ckt mitt intresse fo?r olika sa?ngstilar och sa?ngtekniker. Denna underso?kning fokuserar pa? de grundla?ggande faktorerna i sa?ng: sto?darbete, sta?mbandsarbete och artikulationsarbete. Likheter och skillnader underso?ks i sa?ngteknikerna i genrerna country, folkmusik och opera.

Site fidelity, the behaviour of animals to return to areas where they have been before is a common trait in many species. The Scandinavian moose is known to show fidelity to its range, but to what extent, is little known. The landscape in Sweden changes in a predictable and unpredictable way and hence gives the opportunity to test the existence of fidelity. I used the kernel Brownian bridge method to estimate the home ranges of individual moose over consecutive years and estimated the overlap at the home range level. I also used Euclidian distance to look on calving site fidelity.

I fo?religgande studie har en metod fo?r utva?rdering av vinkelma?tningsosa?kerheten hos en terrester laserskanner (TLS) tagits fram. Metoden fo?r ma?tning och bera?kning av vinkelma?tningsosa?kerheten a?r till stor del baserad pa? ba?de ISO:s standard fo?r test av en teodolit och en doktorsavhandling da?r vinkelma?tningen hos en TLS underso?ks. FARO Focus3D a?r en TLS som a?gs och brukas av konsultfo?retaget Tyre?ns AB.

Ta?by kommun har sommaren 2013 info?rt en fo?r Sverige ny dagvattenreningsteknik i form av en flytande va?tmark, som har anlagts i Ro?nningesjo?n. Tekniken kan fo?rklaras som en hybrid, da?r de biologiska reningsprocesserna liknar en naturlig va?tmark, medan anla?ggningen hydrologiskt fungerar mer som en sedimentationsdamm.Att va?tmarken a?r den fo?rsta i Sverige go?r det extra intressant att utva?rdera. I och med denna rapport har dels en specifik underso?kning av anla?ggningen gjorts, med sa?rskild vikt vid det begra?nsande na?ringsa?mnet fosfor.

Syftet med va?r underso?kning var att underso?ka hur va?l fastighetsma?klarfo?retag lyckats skapa en medvetenhet, acceptans och engagemang fo?r fo?retagets varuma?rke hos sina ansta?llda. Vi har i studien a?ven studerat organisationskulturens roll i byggandet av ?corporate identity?. Va?r underso?kning har skett genom en kvalitativ metod och med halvstrukturerade intervjuer.

Syftet med studien var att ta reda pa? hur man kan fra?mja lek fo?r barn med autistiska symptom som bor pa? korttidsboenden. En kvalitativ intervjuunderso?kning gjordes med sex deltagare och analyserades sedan genom en tolkande fenomenologisk analys (IPA). Fyra huvudteman med tillho?rande tva? underteman var valdes ut.

The main aim was to investigate the provenance of Viking age antler material findings of moose and red deer from Sigtuna and from three sites on the island of Gotland in the Baltic sea. This was done by analysis of the stable isotopes of carbon, nitrogen and sulphur. Thre were never any living population of these mammals on Gotland during the Viking age.?34S-values of sulphur from this study was compared with earlier research and by studying maps of the Swedish bedrock. The ?34S-values were more like the ?34S-value for bedrock other than European granite.

Den här designstudien försöker ta reda på hur ett digitalt träningsverktyg, riktat till elever på högstadiet och gymnasiet, och avsett att träna grundläggande aritmetiska kunskaper och huvudräkningsstrategier skulle kunna utformas. Detta görs genom att faktiskt utforma en konkret applikation. De aspekter som undersöks är 1: hur ett sådant verktyg bör användas i förhållande till den normala undervisningen, 2: hur interaktionen med användaren bör utformas och 3: vilket matematiskt stoff det bör behandla. Den resulterande applikation skall användas som en integrerad del av en normal undervisning, lägger stor vikt på motivationsskapande och regelbundet, långsiktigt övande, samt behandlar i första hand automatisering av tabellkunskaper och grundläggande aritmetiska regler..

The following thesis in library- and information science is a qualitative, comparative analysis of the relationship between the minority populations in Sweden and Finland and the library. The objective with the thesis is to investigate how the state is working to promote minority groups at the library and what lead to today?s situation. The investigation starts, as regards time, with the European charter for Regional or Minority Languages, which was published 1992 and ends with the establishment of the Swedish library law 2014. The method that is used will be a comparative analysis that aims to compare Sweden and Finland.

Damages have four main functions: reparation, placing of the costs, distribution of the losses and prevention. The rules about damages evolved before liability insurance had the extension it has today, 97 % of the Swedish populations is covered by liability insurance, since it is included in the comprehensive household insurance. Liability insurance should be looked at in the light of the damage rules, but the rules about damages are adapted to the insurance possibilities.The Law of damages contains, though the general adjustment article 6:2, the adjustment article 2:4 about children and the adjustment article 2:5 about the mentally ill, a possibility to adjust a non reasonable damage claim. If the liability insurance covers the damages no adjustment is made. Even when the adjustment articles are being used the damages is a heavy burden for the person who is liable for the damages.
