Food waste from grocery stores - An analysis of municipal management inSweden and a detailed study of the situation in Umeå municipalityThe objective of this thesis was to analyze the municipal management of food waste fromgrocery stores in Sweden in general and in Umeå municipality in particular. Furthermore theobjective was to account for the different waste treatment methods that can be used and toevaluate them from an environmental perspective. In order to analyze the municipalmanagement a survey was sent to all of the municipalities/municipal waste companies inSweden. A general comparison of treatment methods was carried out on the basis of ascientific review and a system analysis was performed in order to compare three differenttreatment alternatives for the food waste generated in grocery stores in Umeå. The surveyshowed that the legal definition of food waste from grocery stores is unclear and variesbetween municipalities.

Bakgrund: Ca 10% av alla nyf?dda i Sverige v?rdas ?rligen p? en neonatalv?rdsavdelning, d?r separation mellan barn och f?r?ldrar ?r vanligt f?rekommande, trots evidens om dess negativa konsekvenser f?r b?de f?r?ldrar och barn. Nollseparation inneb?r att f?r?ldrar och barn h?lls i s? mycket fysisk och psykisk n?rhet under v?rdtiden som m?jligt. ?ven om tidigare forskning har belyst konsekvenserna av separation inom neonatalv?rden, finns begr?nsad sammanst?lld kunskap om hur f?r?ldrar upplever nollseparation i en neonatal kontext.

On July 22, 2011 a bomb detonated in the government building in central Oslo in Norway and eight persons died. Later that day, 69 people, most of them youths, were shot down and killed on the island of Utøya by a uniformed Norwegian man.The purpose of this study is to analyse Anders Behring Breivik's personality and explain why he became a killer. I have used a Psychobiographical narrative method, which serves to describe the mind of a human being, linking the mind to motives, scripts, unconscious ideas and personality.My primary sources are Breivik?s Manifest: 2083 A European Declaration of Independence and the inter-views with his father and stepfather, together with the Psychiatric Reports which were submitted to the District Court of Oslo. I have analysed in what way Breivik?s childhood influenced his behavior as an adult.

Wind power is a growing energy sector in Sweden. However, it still represents only a small part of the total electricity production, about 0.7%. In order to create good conditions and to facilitate the establishment of wind power in Sweden, the government has for example, created a national centre for wind use. The objective has been to reach the governmental goal, which is an expansion of wind power by 10 TWh by year 2015 compared to the level in 2002. The Swedish electricity market was deregulated in 1996 which refers to the introduction of a competitive market in electricity production and trade.

Grewia optiva är en utav många outnyttjade stjälkfibrer som skulle kunna bidra till ökandet utav de naturliga fiberalternativen. Fibern har idag inte så många användningsområden på grund utav dess hårda och styva uppbyggnad, vilket gör den svår att spinna till garn. På uppdrag av organisationen Bhartiya Gramotthan Sanstha (BGS) har i detta projekt en redan befintlig metod utvecklats för att förädla fibern. Vad som främst eftersöktes var nedbrytandet av pektin som är en av de faktorer som bidrar till fiberns hårda och styva struktur. I metoden användes biologiskt nedbrytbara enzym som katalysatorer.

Introduktion: MR-undersökningen är en teknik som blivit alltmer vanligt inom medicinsk diagnostik. Trots att MR-tekniken är en bra metod för att upptäcka patologi och skador kan MR-undersökningen vara associerad med rädsla, oro och ångest hos patienter. Många gånger har patienter liten kunskap om undersökningsprocessen. Informationskällor kan vara vänner eller anhöriga och genom deras erfarenheter skapar patienter egna idéer och uppfattningar om MR-undersökningen. Mötet mellan röntgensjuksköterskan och patienten är kort, vilket gör att röntgensjuksköterskans omhändertagande av patienter kan vara avgörande för patientens upplevelse av trygghet och välbefinnande.

AbstractBackground: Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide and accounted for 7.6 million deaths, about 13% of all deaths, in 2008. Several factors can affect patients' quality of life such as physical and psychological symptoms, relationship to people around and the environment. In palliative care professionals need to have good knowledge in order to improve patient quality of life and to give them as good a life as possible in the final stages of life.Aim: The purpose of this overview study is to describe the experiences of quality of life in patients with incurable cancer.Method: We conducted an overview study that was based on ten scientific articles. All articles are qualitative studies, from the year 1995 - 2011, and are from Sweden, Finland, UK, Canada and the USA. Qualitative analysis was used to group the various themes and subthemes for overview study purpose.

Barn skrivs in på sjukhus när deras behandling och omvårdnad inte längre kan tillgodoses i hemmet. För barn innebär sjukhusvistelse stora förändringar i deras fysiska och emotionella liv. Barns begränsade förmåga till kognitivt tänkande kan göra förändringarna svåra att hantera. När barn har svårt att förstå och tolka vad som sker under en sjukhusvistelse kan det leda till lidande som kvarstår lång tid efter upplevelsen. En vårdmiljö som ser till barnets behov kan minska lidande under och efter en sjukhusvistelse.

Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka jobbcoachningsprocessen utifrån ett livsformsperspektiv, genom att utföra livsformsanalys på jobbcoacher och klienter. Relationen jobbcoach/klient står i fokus eftersom det existerar en liten mängd forskning inom området, och jobbcoachningens effekt på arbetslösheten i Sverige har på senare tid ifrågasatts. Livsformsanalysen är även bra verktyg för att undersöka vilka värderingar människor har och varför vi väljer att agera på ett visst sätt. Teorin om livsformsanalys utgår ifrån att människor har olika levnadsmönster och uppfattningar om "det goda livet", vilket benämns som att de lever livsformer. Vi har lagt fokus på kärnbegreppen sociocentrism och neokulturation inom livsformsanalysen: Sociocentrism handlar om människans oförmåga att förstå och erkänna andra livsformer än sin egen.

Hearing is considered to be the most important sense for the communication between people. Several studies have shown that hearing loss can lead to deterioration in quality of life, reduced social activities, feelings of alienation and hence the increasing incidence of depression symptoms.An early audiological rehabilitation is a prerequisite for proper communication among people with hearing loss. Knowledge has been shown to be of great importance and structured learning and individually targeted approach can be expected to facilitate the audiological rehabilitation.The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of an educational effort for people with hearing loss where the effort was made in the distance within the audiological rehabilitation and was followed-up by professional phone support, through a randomized controlled study.The study group consisted of 69 hearing aid users who were randomized by an independent person into two groups, an intervention group and a control group. The intervention group (n = 33) had access to the book "When the sounds are weaker - on hearing and hearing aids". The group received weekly topic-based information related to the different chapters of the book, in five rounds.

Combustion of fossil fuels is today the dominating source of energy. During combustion,carbon dioxide is formed. The carbon dioxide accumulates in the atmosphere,which raises the global average temperature on earth through the so called greenhouseeffect. The only way to reduce the emissions of carbon dioxide from combustionin a coal fired power plant is through carbon capture and storage (CCS).Post-combustion capture is a technology to separate carbon dioxide from the uegas after the combustion for efficient transport and storage. The steady state operationof coal fired power plants with post combustion capture has already beenthoroughly investigated on a pilot scale, however much work remains to investigatethe plants dynamic operation.

Mitt syfte med denna uppsats var att beskriva vad som menas med uttrycket ?Barnets bästa? i föräldrabalken vid en skilsmässa och separation. Jag skrev enligt traditionell juridisk metod. Vid oenighet vid en skilsmässa eller separation erbjuds föräldrarna av kommunen att medverka i samarbetssamtal. Där kan de samtala om frågor som rör barnets vårdnad, boende och umgänge.

Background: Myocardial infarction is the most common individual disease among people in the west world. In Sweden there are over 50 000 women and men who get myocardial infarction every year and about 40 % of them dies. Exercise training is one part of cardiac rehabilitation and since 1980 Sweden use the guidelines from that time. Aim: The aim was to review exercise-training modalities in cardiac rehabilitation after myocardial infarction and the physiologic- and psychological effects. Method: Facts were obtained by searching through the database PubMed for articles published from 1994 and ten years forward.

The development within the textile industry is always ongoing with development of new andbetter textiles, which often mean the use of non-natural materials like polyester. This doesn?t lineup with the work shared around the world against an improved environment, so the idea came touse a form of linen fibers instead of polyester as the reinforcing material together with cotton.The idea was to use flax, linen of low quality, which is seen as a waste product and garbage inthe production of high quality linen and flax seed oil. This flax of low quality needs to beseparated before it can be used in cotton spinning machines. Fireball 2 is just that, a process toseparate flax fibers through the treatment of a technique called electrohydraulic discharge.The thesis works goal is to evaluate the Fireball 2 process ability to separate flax fiber.
