The study evaluated the Mutant Prevention Concentration (MPC) of Pradofloxacin on three Escherichia coli (E.coli) strains, 2 wildtypes and one first-step gyrA resistant mutant. We also measured the value of AUC (Under the Concentration)/MPC that prevents growth of resistant mutants. It is of importance to reach a concentration above MPC that prevent E.coli from developing resistance against the antibiotic.We used an in vitro kinetic model where we added bacteria? and antibiotic. The culture flask was attached to a pump with an adjustable pump-speed.

SAMMANFATTNINGBakgrund: Tobaksbruk är ett stort folkhälsoproblem och majoriteten av alla människor som använder tobak började sitt tobaksbruk i tonåren, därför är det viktigt med information om tobaksbruk i tidig ålder. Den evidensbaserade metoden Tobaksfri duo infördes 2010 på tre skolor i Uppland. Tobaksfri duo är ett långsiktigt arbetssätt som bygger på information och attitydpåverkan bland ungdomar mellan 12-15 år.Syfte: Syftet med studien var att studera föräldrars åsikter om och upplevelser av tobaksfri duo.Metod: Studien genomfördes som en kvalitativ studie med en deskriptiv design och semistrukturerade fokusgrupper i två olika skolor med totalt fem deltagare.Resultat: Tre kategorier framkom: Samstämmig syn på att motstå tobaksbruk, Vuxnas engagemang är nyckeln till tobaksfria ungdomsår och Redskap för att nå framgång. Resultatet visade att föräldrarna var mycket positiva till metoden då den innehöll olika faktorer för att hjälpa ungdomar att motstå tobak. Det är av vikt att samtliga i skolan, både elever och personal, följer metodens budskap.

AbstractAt the UN Conference on Environment and Development in 1992 the nations stated that traditional environmental policies were not sufficient to handle the multidimensional challenges posed by sustainable development. Governments needed to broaden their political decision making procedures in order to coordinate and integrate environmental, social and economic policies. Therefore a new tool was introduced in Agenda 21, National Strategies for Sustainable Development (NSDS). The aim of an NSDS would be to bring together actors from all parts of society to jointly reach a consensus on how to work towards the vision of a sustainable society. An NSDS would be seen as a strategic tool to help focus national policies for SD.

Bakgrund: Det viktigaste för en god arbetsmiljö för anestesisjuksköterskor anses vara samarbetet med andra kollegor, men även möjlighet till personlig utveckling och utbildning. Är arbetsmiljön tillfredsställd ökar chansen för trivsel.Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka aspekter som påverkar anestesisjuksköterskanspsykosociala arbetsmiljö.Metod: Studien genomfördes på ett sjukhus i mellersta Sverige under våren 2013, där nioanestesisjuksköterskor intervjuades. Insamlad data analyserades med kvalitativ innehållsanalys.Resultat: Ur intervjuerna framkom tre kategorier; betydelsen av en trivsam miljö, arbeta över professionsgränserna och tidspress. Det var viktigt att ha förståelse och att ha trevligt tillsammans med sina arbetskamrater. Att även kunna hjälpa varandra i arbetet ansågs betydelsefullt.

In this study we examine how much latency is required in an RTS-game (Real-Time Strategy) before the player quits the game. In the study latency is simulated in the games Age of Mythology and Starcraft: Brood War with the program WANem, and then the testplayers are asked ?Do you want to quit because of latency??. This data is then gathered and compiled into graphs to show the results. These results show that the limit for when players want to quit differs between the two games and that there are two factors that play into this.

During the last two decades, technology has developed rapidly. It has become a natural part of everyday life, which we today take for granted. It isn?t until the last few years that technology has quickly become a big part in the school environments. Computers, tablets and other technology is today a big part of the education and teaching.

A large problem in our society is the diseases that inactivity brings to the population. The lifestyle you have in adolescence is often the same that you have in adulthood. Because of this, prevention should start in youth. The aim of this study was to investigate the experience that youths have of physical education and it?s influence in their spare-time activities.

The main purpose of this thesis is to analyse the possibilities and problems facing a privatised work injury insurance. This discussion includes the element of premium differentiation. Todays´ Swedish social insurance system is ineffectively formed. The costs have dramatically increased during the 1990´s. The Swedish government is now looking for ways to improve the efficiency of the system.

The purpose of this thesis is to study how Malaysia Airlines communicated during the two largest crises of 2014. Key questions to be answered are: Did organizational hypocrisy occur? If yes, in what way? Which communication strategies were used? Did the company mediate an unequivocal message and how was the information framed? Did any aggravating factors, which worsened the organization?s reputation, appear? How did Malaysia Airlines manage possible rumours? Was the word contact used as a keyword? The method of choice is a quantitative content analysis and the material consists of 20 different analysis units. These analysis units were collected from social media and Malaysia Airlines website. The quantitative content analysis is based on the theory Situational Crisis Communication Theory, taken from PR, Strategy and Application, Managing Influence, by W.

In many earlier investigations a recall advantage of auditory lists spoken in a single voice has been found over recall of lists spoken in two alternating voices. One explanation proposed is an organization strategy which makes recall of alternating-voice lists so difficult. The strategy implies sorting same-voice words into same-voice groups at encoding. Based on this proposition, it was assumed that voice-by-voice recall would be better than recall in order of presentation, as then the recall instruction and the organization of items in memory would be in concordance. The present experiment tested and was unable to support this hypothesis.

Prevention är en viktig men otillräckligt utvecklad del av sjuksköterskans omvårdnadsarbete vad gäller kvinnor i riskzonen för att utveckla osteoporos. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie är därför att belysa vilka faktorer som är av betydelse i det preventiva arbetet gällande osteoporos hos kvinnor i postmenopaus. Metoden är en litteraturstudie, som genomfördes med inspiration av Goodmans modell. Till studien användes 11 vetenskapliga artiklar som granskades enligt protokoll ur Willman och Stoltz (2002). Resultatet indelades i fem teman; Kostens betydelse, Solljus som källa till vitamin D, Fysisk aktivitet, Rökningens inverkan på benmassan samt sjuksköterskans preventiva patientundervisning.

Beroendet av internet har ökat markant över de senaste tjugo åren, detta har medförtatt tjänster som tidigare tillhandahölls lokalt i fysisk form har sakta fasats ut. Samhälletsförtroende för internet och dess struktur medför vissa svagheter, som öppnar upp förattacker vilka kan överbelasta plattformar och göra företagets tjänster otillgängliga.Syftet med arbetet är att identifiera DDoS-attacker från pcap-filer och undersöka hurDRDoS-attacker skalar. Arbetet tar även upp frågeställningar om likheter och skillnadermellan attackerna som används samt huruvida de skiljer sig från legitim trafik och hurdetta kan vara ett problem när skydd eller liknande implementeras.För att besvara frågeställningarna har vi valt att göra tre experiment samt analys. De treexperiment görs i en fysisk labbmiljö där attackerna kan ske på ett kontrollerat miljö,där pcap-filer kan samlas in för analys.I arbetet påvisades att en reflektionsattack som utnyttjade DNS kunde uppnå enskalning med en faktor på 80 gånger. Det har även påvisats vilka likheter som finnsmellan de fem attacker som granskades..

The purpose of this study is to examine how the identity of teenagers is affected by the loss of a parent as well as what coping strategies support identity development. The reactions the teenagers exhibit, in such circumstances, will also be examined. To accomplish this,  a theory package was created, comprising theories in developmental psychology, identity work, coping and theory of grief reactions of children and teenagers. This package provided a broad perspective, which facilitated the analysis. Furthermore, it made it easier to address the purpose and the issue of the analysis.
