Ten colic horses and seven healthy horses were included in a prospective study aiming to evaluate acid-base disturbances in colic horses. Traditional acid-base methods and measurements of lactate were used to study prognosis and changes before, during and after surgery. Strong ion gap, anion gap and base excess were compared to evaluate their ability to predict lactate. Of the ten colic horses that went through surgery, seven survived, two were euthanised and one died. Significant differences in plasma lactate levels were seen between the group of survivals and non-survivals, p=0,000025. No differences were seen in pH and base excess between the two groups.

Det är viktigt att alla kan känna sig fria att använda den fysiska miljön. För det krävs bl.a. en god tillgänglighet. År 2001 antog riksdagen en nationell handlingsplan för handikappolitiken som ger riktlinjer om ökad tillgänglighet bl.a. ska enkelt avhjälpta hinder åtgärdas senast år 2010.

Sedan miljöbalken infördes och den politiska målsättningen om ett ekologiskt hållbart samhälle lagstadgades har kravet om att sanera förorenade områden stärkts. Därigenom ökar också kravet på en tydlig lagstiftning där det går att ställa förorenaren till svars, i enlighet med den internationellt vedertagna principen om att förorenaren betalar. I studien beskrivs hur miljölagstiftningen i Sverige utvecklats när det gäller regleringen av ansvaret för efterbehandling av förorenad mark. Vidare undersöks om den gällande rätten medverkar till uppfyllandet av miljöbalkens mål om en hållbarutveckling. Som teoretisk grund används teorier om hållbar miljörätt.

This thesis is a case study that analyses the seaside resort Ystad Sandskog and its private architecture between 1850 and 1940. The multitude is evident in the area's architecture. The architectural development is analysed with the use of a social historical perspective, including class and hegemony. Regional as well as national affective factors are used in the analysis. Aside from the social aspects, architectural ideological developments, general development of the seaside resort and the area's committee with its prescriptions are all factors considered.By dividing the development in four different chronological phases, which all represents a certain architectural expression exemplified by a selection of buildings and the social class that it accompanies, a culmination in the architectural structural development of Sandskogen is shown.

The overall purpose of this essay is to come to a deeper understanding about videos in the Youtube beauty community by using a mixture of qualitative and quantitative methods. By answering the main questions of the essay which are; What quantitatively measurable components are there in the videos that can be seen as contributing factors leading to the fact that some generate more views that others?; Is there a set mold for success containing certain aspects that a video must have to stand out?; What correlations can be found between the two categories of analysis and how do these potential correlations affect the popularity of the video? and What effects do specific components on the level of popularity of the video?, we?ve been able to distinguish differences as well as similarities on both qualitative and quantitative levels. We have also seen that using the two methods together have enabled us to reach more profound results. The main result that we have found on a quantitative level is that there are obvious correlations between a high level of popularity and a good visual quality.

En viktig och långvarig debatt inom redovisning har behandlat värderingsproblematiken. Varulagret är oftast den mest svårvärderade posten bland ett företags omsättningstillgångar. Felaktigheter i varulagervärderingen är en vanlig orsak till felaktigheter i ett företags redovisade resultat då det ofta är svårt rent beräkningstekniskt att fastställa varulagrets värde. Denna beräkningstekniska problematik förekommer i hög grad inom bilbranschen vad gäller inbytesbilar. Dessa bilar värderas till viss del subjektivt vilket kan leda till ifrågasättande om det fastställda värdet är pålitligt.

Arbetets syfte var att undersöka intentionen och förväntade effekter av den nyasjöarbetskonventionen som nu ska implementeras vad gäller bemanningsnivåer ochvilotider på svenska fartyg. Genom att först genomföra en litteraturstudie lades grundenför arbetet. Med anledning av att konventionen inte var implementerad genomfördes enkvalitativ intervjustudie mot tre sakkunniga representanter från svensk sjöfartsnäring föratt utreda vad konventionens verkliga intention var. Därefter genomfördes en kvalitativintervjustudie mot fyra aktörer i den svenska sjöfartsnäringen för att utreda vad dessaförväntade sig för effekter av konventionen, gällande bemanningsnivåer och vilotider.Resultatet av undersökningarna visade på att konventionens intention är att höja deninternationella standarden vad gäller just bemanningsnivåer och vilotider till en nivåsom liknar den svenska relativt höga nivån. Vad gäller förväntade effekter avkonventionen tror de svenska aktörerna att den svenska sjöfartsbranschen kommer att seganska små förändringar om några alls..

SammandragUppsatsen behandlar dansk-svensk språkkontakt i Öresundsregionen, bland annat på internet. Arbetet har ett tudelat syfte och huvudfrågorna har varit följande: Vilken bild får man av dansk-svensk språkkontakt genom Öresundsanknutna webbplatser? Vilken bild får man av dansk-svensk språkkontakt genom transnationella nätverkssamarbeten i Öresundsregionen?I ett första skede har nitton dansk-svenska webbplatser studerats och de har fördelats på tre kategorier: Intresseorganisationer, Utbildningsanordnare samt Information och marknadsföring.Kartläggningen visar att intresseorganisationer i hög utsträckning använder sig av grannspråk medan utbildningsanordnarna oftare har engelska som språk på webbplatsen. I kategorin Information och marknadsföring tycks språkvalet vara målgruppsanpassat d.v.s. svenska används till svenskar och danska till danskar.Den andra delstudien är en närstudie av ett dansk-svenskt scenkonstprojekt.

Too high levels of noise lead to various health problems and cost society billions of SEK peryear. In this thesis we have examined a model of the A40E articulated hauler at VolvoConstruction Equipment in Braås. We have tried to reduce cabin noise in an articulated hauler,while also providing a way on how to proceed with a machine when the cabin does not measureup to the sound requirement. The best way to find leaks were with a reference source of model4205 and its speaker HP 1001 from Brüel & Kjaer in the cab and then walk around and listen towhere the reference source was more prominent. In this way, we found that the edges and theplugs were sensitive areas.

Childhood as a social category is under strucural redefinition. In this thesis the child and childhood are understood as socially constructed phenomenons. Focus is laid upon the construction of the concept ?in the best interest of the child? wich in The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child is defined as beeing the foremost important view to take into account when decisions wich affect children are made. As the thesis shows, a concrete and universall view of the best interest of the child is lacking in practice and would in many cases be unfortunate.

The purpose with this study is to examine what kind of support there is for school libraries at the selected independent upper secondary schools and how these schools ensure that libraryservices is available to their students and their teachers. The purpose is also to examine what attitudes the administrators of the schools have to school libraries and teaching in information seeking. A qualitative method with interviews was used to fulfil the purpose. As a theoretical basis of the study Loertschers taxonomies of the school library media program and Limbergs three levels of pedagogic research were used and the interviews were analysed with these two theoretical frameworks as a background. The result of the study showed that neither one of the three examinated schools has a school library which means that they use the public library instead.
