AbstractHåkan Salomonsson: In i nuet via Darmstadt ? Fylkingen, Stockhausen och 50-talet. Uppsala Universitet: Institutionen för musikvetenskap, C-uppsats 2006.During the 1950s, Swedens musical avantgarde was mainly lead by the concert organisation Fylkingen. Some of the leading members used to belong to the Mondaygroup in the 1940s and brought a will to update and modernise Swedish music with them into Fylkingen. This resulted in a radical change in the concert programs of Fylkingen and a development that lead to the introduction of the music of Karlheinz Stockhausen in Sweden.

The purpose with my degree project is to investigate the use of computers within the daily activity in three preschools and one preschool class. I have designed a survey that I distributed to the staff. The purpose of my work is to investigate how a number of preschool teachers and children in a few preschools and one preschool class in a medium-sized Swedish town are using the computer in their activities.My study shows that the computer is frequently used, both of the children and teachers, but also together. The children in my study are using the computer to play games, listen to music, and go into the websitewww.youtube.com, but also in order to write and count.  The teachers primarily use the computer to document, check their e-mail and listen to music.

The canine population has during it?s time with humans gone through at least 2 major genetic bottlenecks, the first when it was separated from the wolf, and the second when it was divided into different breeds. Among other things, this has lead to the accumulation of unwanted genes, such as genes causing disease in dogs. One such inherited disease is syringomyelia, which has proven to be more common than expected, especially in certain smaller breeds such as the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Syringomyelia in dogs is often a secondary condition caused by the malformation called occipital hypoplasia.

Ett hälsofrämjande arbete är den process som ger människor möjligheten att öka kontrollen över sin egen hälsa. Förebyggande åtgärder innebär insatser som görs för att undvika att sjukdom uppstår inom en snar framtid. Inom företagshälsovården arbetar sjuksköterskorna både hälsofrämjande och förebyggande, bland annat genom att göra regelbundna hälsokontroller och genom att genomföra livsstilssamtal med personer kring deras levnadsvanor och hur de kan påverka sin hälsa. Genom att arbeta hälsofrämjande med sunda levnadsvanor kan upp till 80 procent av all hjärt-kärlsjukdom och 30 procent av all cancer samt utvecklingen av diabetes typ 2 fördröjas.Syftet med arbetet är att beskriva hur sjuksköterskan arbetar hälsofrämjande och förebyggande inom företagshälsovården. Resultatet bygger på en kvalitativ intervjustudie där sju sjuksköterskor som arbetar inom företagshälsovården har intervjuats på sin arbetsplats.

The purpose of this study was to investigate how the daily press, morning and evening papers respectively, describe homeless people and their situation from a number of chosen articles. Was there a possibility to make clear if the public opinion of homelessness has changed from a media perspective during the last five years? In order to meet the purpose of the study, the authors have used discourse analysis of the chosen articles as well as the theory of social constructions and the theory of stigmatizing. The articles have been chosen from the two largest daily morning papers and the two largest evening papers. From each article many rich and close quotations are used, which subsequently have been analysed and interpreted.

Alzheimer?s disease has increasing effects on the Swedish population. Now, about 90 000 swedes have been diagnosed with the disease. Many of these persons are cared for by someone close to them. The aim of this study is to increase understanding for the situation and experiences of the persons caring for their affected partner and to examine which support they are given by the public sector.

AbstractMy aim for this study is to examine what the parent?s of the children attending pre-schoolwants to be a part of, by examining the parent?s description of the performance review andwhat their experience from them was. This study is based on earlier research and literature,which describes the pre-schools activities, how they work and the documented goals they tryto accomplish. I also did eight interviews with parents from two municipalities, which I theninterpreted based on my experience and understanding. The interviews focused on theparent?s description of their experience of how much influence on the work in their child'spre-school.

Bakgrund: Vid vissa situationer togs ett beslut att avstå från livsuppehållande behandling, ett s.k. O-HLR-beslut. Vårdgivare hade en skyldighet att ge patienten information om dennes hälsotillstånd, vård och behandling och detta skulle ske i samråd med patienten enligt lag. Om patienten önskade fanns en möjlighet att överlåta beslutet till den ansvariga läkaren och/eller anhöriga. Sjuksköterskan har visat sig ha en viktig roll i mötet med den palliativa patienten.

Erosion in coastal areas is a common problem all around the world. The range of the problem depends on several factors, i.e. type of bed-rock and soil, wind and wave climate. Another factor is whether the area is of high interest, i.e. if the area is important for tourism and recreation, if there are houses and other buildings close to the shoreline or if it is a site of special scientific interest.

Idag finns möjligheten för svårt sjuka människor att få dö i sitt hem, ofta med hjälp och stöd av närstående och av andra professionella vårdgivare. I den palliativa vården och vid vård i livets slutskede är närstående betydelsefulla i omvårdnaden och behöver stöd från distriktssjuksköterskan. För att det ska bli så bra som möjligt för de närstående att vårda i hemmet behöver distriktssjuksköterskan veta vilka stödåtgärder som de närstående behöver.Syftet med studien var att beskriva närståendes upplevelse av att vårda en närstående som är i en palliativ fas eller i livets slutskede i hemmet.Metoden som användes var en litteraturstudie. Tretton kvalitativa artiklar som motsvarade syftet analyserades med hjälp av kvalitativ innehållsanalys.Ur resultatet framkommer närståendes upplevelser som sammanställts i åtta kategorier. Dessa är att uppleva trygghet, att uppleva otrygghet, att bli bekräftad, att bli negligerad, att uppleva glädje och tillfredställelse i vårdandet, att uppleva vårdandet som en börda, att försöka bevara det invanda samt att uppleva förändrad livssituation.Resultatet visar att närståendes upplevelser av att vårda i hemmet kan skilja sig från individ till individ.

This report is going to be focusing on the development of a promotion page and login system for the web production company Adoreyou. The promotion page and login will be parts of a new taxi application for iPhone that lets the customer book a taxi and drivers manage the requests from the customers.Taxi application?s that let customer?s book trips are nothing new but they are constantly being explored and developed. The most common practice is to let the customer fill in from what address he or she wants to be picked up and to where he or she wants to be taken. Then the price is set in the application depending on the distance and most likely other factors like weekday and time.

In Scandinavia the general idea of the Bronze Age society is that it was organised as chiefdoms. The model for what they looked like is taken from the anthropological studies of the Polynesian chiefdoms. The aim of my study is to investigate a Scandinavian Bronze Age feature, known as cairns mainly containing fire-cracked stone. This is compared with how people in different Polynesian chiefdoms, looked at similar remain. This is done to get a background for new ways of interpretation of such remains.

The aim of the thesis is to investigate to what extent the pedagogy process has been affected by the close collaboration between librarians and teachers when it comes to education on the information search process. The thesis shows that the librarian is seen as an acting intermediate for information, and is regarded as a part of the learning process. The issues covered comprise of how students, teachers and librarians perceive that the students becomes information literate, how they perceive that the subject fields are covered, and how information has been transmitted, and how all this has been affected by the fact that the librarian is actually less available in person. Also, the following questions are discussed; how do librarians, teachers and students interact through the homepages of the course and "the landscape of studying"? And in what respect have the old library halls changed into that, which is available 24 hours a day, with different kinds of meeting opportunities where the search of information has been integrated with group projects? The foundation of this study is built on an evaluation of a project comprising of virtual study environment at the University of Linköping.

Background:Every year, in Sweden, 250 children and adolescents below 15 years of age are diagnosed with cancer. Over 75% of those diagnosed are cured. Cancer affects not only the child but the whole family. Siblings of the affected child can easily suffer from a lack of attention.Aim:This study aimed to illuminate siblings' experiences of living in a family with a child affected by cancer.Method:A literature-based study based on nine qualitative studies.Results:The result showed that it was important for siblings to have someone close and not be alone, they needed to feel a community. Not to know and not to understand what has happened made them to feel grief, fear, stress and jealousy.

Franchise theorists have to a large extent failed to keep up with the actual development in global franchise chains. The recent emergence of fast growing multi-unit-franchisees has fundamentally been ignored, and it has been claimed that the new phenomenon can be regarded as a mere replication of the franchisors? structure and control system into sub hierarchies. This study however, suggests that the reality is more complex. Through conducting case studies of two Nordic multi-unit-franchisees, new theories are built explaining how and why control systems are designed the way they are.
