Uppsatsen strävar efter att undersöka och belysa den problematik som präglar den svenska tobakspolitiken. Jag har identifierat tre centrala frågeställningar:* Vad utgörs det strukturella problemet av?* Vad gör lagstiftaren respektive tillämparen?* Hur manövrerar lagstiftaren för att undvika politiska kostnader och till synes lösa det strukturella problemet?(utdrag ur uppsatsens "Frågeställning och syfte").

In Peru guinea pigs are raised for meat production and salmonellosis is considered as a major problem. Studies have detected salmonella in animals with enteritis and pneumonia. Salmonellosis exists both in an acute and a chronic form. In the rural areas the diagnosis is made according to clinical signs and macro pathological findings at autopsy. The major systems applied for the guinea pig production are often classified as family, family-commercial and commercial. These systems differ in number of animals and how industrialised they are.

The pre-school is seen by many as the place where children get equipped for the future and the challenges there of. One of the most important aims according of the curriculum for Swedish preschools is that children get the opportunity, in interaction with the pedagogues, to develop their identity and to feel secure and satisfied with themself. Although, in the curriculum of the Swedish preschool system there is a comprehensive focus on the children?s competencies and learning, the importance that the children feel secure is not that prominent. Consequently a paradox occurs between the focus on children?s competencies and their need for care.

The purpose of this master's thesis is to examine children's communication and interaction during story time at the public library. The aim is also to examine how to develop the story time ? in terms of participation and equality ? at a specific library.Action research was used as a research strategy and participant observation, log, tutoring and interviews as methods to collect data. Since action research is done on the basis of practice, a significant collaboration with the librarian and the participant children is taking place within this study.Research from the fields of Library and Information Science, Education and Childhood Sociology form the interdisciplinary research area to which this study links. The theoretical framework consists of theory and concepts from the Socio-cultural Perspective, Poststrucuralist Feminism and Childhood Sociology.

This essay discusses the problems with the high rate of long-term sickness leave among women in Sweden. It is based on interviews with six women suffering from stress-related illness. The results show that these women hardly ever recieved an explicit diagnosis and therefore did not feel that their illness was acknowledged. In the abscense of measurable symptoms they were sometimes stigmatisized and accused of simulating their problems. From this position they tried to legitimize their situation by presenting themselves as respectable women.

I have investigated how municipalities support children with ADHD. I have interviewed persons responsible in five different municipalities. The persons have had the authority to decide how the support funds are to be shared in the municipality. Mostly I was interested to know if the support was the same in all these municipalities and if the children with ADHD really got the help and support they were entitled to. I discovered that the support varied; in some the children were correctly diagnosed but in others municipalities I was not convince.

Denna C ? uppsats i sociologi syftar till att undersöka varifrån förstagångsväljare får sin påverkan till ett ställningstagande inför riksdagsvalet år 2006. Studien belyser även förstagångsväljarnas syn på vikten av att rösta. Våra frågeställningar är således; Varifrån kommer påverkan till störst del ifrån för förstagångsväljare till riksdagsvalet år 2006? Anser förstagångsväljaren att det är viktigt att rösta? Begrepp som socialisation och könssocialisation visar att påverkan hemifrån är av stor betydelse för förstagångsväljaren.

Under hösten 2003 skrev jag tillsammans med en annan student vid Lunds universitet en C-uppsats om hur långtidsarbetslösa upplever sin situation. I denna uppsats nystar jag vidare på denna tråd för att undersöka några arbetslösas upplevelser av sina behov av stöd och hjälp som arbetssökande och sätta detta i relation till deras upplevelse av de arbetsmarknadspolitiska åtgärder de möter och intentionerna bakom dessa åtgärder.För att närma mig en förståelse angående detta har jag utgått från arbets- och utvecklingscentra som idag arbetar för att slussa arbetslösa personer genom rådgivning och praktik till arbete.Då jag är intresserad av att lyfta fram arbetslösas beskrivningar och önskemål vad gäller arbetsmarknadsåtgärder har en kvalitativ studie utförts. Åtta djupintervjuer har genomförts, sex med arbetslösa personer inskrivna på arbets- och utvecklingscentra, resterande två med tjänstemän som arbetar med arbetsmarknadsfrågor. Utifrån utarbetat material har analysen delats upp i olika teman. Det teoretiska perspektiv som anlagts på denna studie är hämtat i Göran Ahrnes teori om vardagsverklighet och struktur, nätverksmodellen så som den beskrivits av Marianne Liedholm och Göran Lindberg, samt två processer presenterade av Bengt Furåker; dekommodifiering och rekommodifiering.Arbetet med att skapa program och förberedande insatser för individer som står utanför arbetsmarknaden är en process som hela tiden står under förändring.

Rabies is a fatal zoonotic disease spread worldwide. The most common sources of infection for all animals and humans are bites from dogs or bats. The aim of this degree project was to diagnose and determine the source of infection for 11 rabies samples from São Paulo State and Minas Gerais State, Brazil. Diagnosis was made through direct immunofluorescence assay, mouse inoculation and RT-PCR. The sources of infection were determined by sequencing 234 nucleotides of the 5? end of the N-gene and align these with homologous sequences retrieved from GenBank.

Seven individuals from Surahammar in Västmanland Sweden are analyzed for the appearance of pathological and skeletal changes. The graves, all from within the walls of a fourteenth century church, are dated from the Viking age to late eighteenth century. The aim of this scientific essay is to find pathological conditions by doing an osteological analyze, x-ray analysis, an osteoporosis measurement and letting orthopedists assess the individuals. The aim is also to say something about the individuals? general health and how they experience the changes they have in the skeleton.

I sin iver att förbli konkurrenskraftiga väljer idag många företag att outsourca de aktiviteter man inte anser tillhöra kärnverksamheten. Human Resources (HR), dvs. en organisations olika personalfunktioner, är en av de verksamheter som numera i allt större utsträckning läggs ut till externa leverantörer.Denna studies syfte var att ur ett arbetslivspedagogiskt perspektiv, problematisera företeelsen outsourcing av HR, vilket har genomförts genom en kvalitativ litteraturstudie. En kritisk och ifrågasättande inläsning av forskning på området, med fokusering på kompetensbegreppet, har kompletterats med teorier kring lärande och kontextuella villkor.Detta har bland annat utmynnat i slutsatser som att outsourcing av HR rymmer både potentialer och paradoxer. Den främsta potentialen ligger i att man genom outsourcing möjliggör för ett samarbete som kan ge ett vidgat perspektiv på verksamheten och dess medarbetare för både moderföretaget och dess leverantör.
