AimThe aim with this essay has been to investigate how preschools profiling in motor activity training, work to stimulate motor development of children. In order to study this, the main focus for the research has been on the following queries:What characterize motor activity training at the preschools studied?What is the purpose with the motor activity training of preschools which were studied?How do the preschools describe the affect that motor activity training has on children?How do the preschools look at the need for motor activity training?MethodFour in-depth interviews were conducted with representatives of the chosen preschools profiling in motor activity. My selection was based on a strategic sample and this was made by an internet mapping of preschool activities in the districts of Stockholm, and information from the service guide of the town of Stockholm. Then e-mail was sent to ten contact persons at preschool units, and ten preschools were contacted directly by phone.

The buying decision process describes how the consumer makes a purchase decision through a rational process (Markin, 1979) and an understanding for how consumers make a purchase decision can according to Sands et al. (2010) be obtained by increased knowledge for the information search process (the second part of the buying decision process) before a purchase. Today?s society offers great opportunity to obtain information (Rahim & Clemens, 2012; Bawden & Robinson, 2009) and by that there are in other words good opportunities for a rational acting by the consumers. However, there are factors working against that consumers act rationally and seek information prior to their purchases primarily in the form of the concept of information overload (Bawden & Robinson, 2009) which claims that consumers are limited in their information search because there is too much information but also other factors such as lack of time (Wood & Neal, 2009) and ability to find information (Slegers et al.

Stretching används dagligen efter fysisk aktivitet av allt från motionärer till elitidrottare i syfte att öka muskellängden eller minska träningsvärk. Stretching kan utföras med flera olika tekniker, en avslappnad muskel kan genom stretching förlängas upp till 130 % av sin ?normala? längd i viloläge. Det finns ett flertal olika teorier kring vad som händer med muskeln vid stretching, både sensoriska och mekaniska teorier där man tror att det sker en förändring av perceptionen, toleransen eller i muskelns komponenter. Mycket forskning är gjord inom området, men huruvida muskeln förlängs eller ej framgår inte i litteraturen, samt vilka stretchingen faktiska effekter är.

This report is the result of a thesis carried out at the Department of Innovation, Design and Technology (IDT), at Mälardalen University on behalf of ABB AB Machines.The year was 1988 when ASEA and Brown Boveri formed a joint venture under the name ABB (Asea Brown Boveri).We perform our thesis at the division Discrete Automation and Motion where they primarily develops, manufactures and sells synchronous and asynchronous AC motors and generators.The main purpose of this thesis was initially to write a general packaging instruction, but the priority changed to develop more specific packaging instructions for Rotors, Stator gables, Bearing support and Outer Cover (plates) instead.The work started off to deal with a problem about that the staff had to start its work to grind away rust on the stator gables due to those stored outdoors. The result was mainly an investment in a new gable rack so that the material can be stored inside, as well as a packing instruction as it was originally intended.The problem on the bearing supports were that the staff thought it was demanding and difficult to clean them from the rustproofing they were greased in. If it is not possible to remove all rust protection it can cause the paint to not attach properly. After having compared with similar articles a test were done to order a pair of bearing supports without corrosion inhibitor, which gave good results. This initiative also set in motion a process to do the same for more different items.For special pallet, a survey were made of the process with two different VSM and a calculation of how much ABB would earn at ordering more special pallets than getting the material delivered on the A-pallets.

SammanfattningSyfte och frågeställningarVårt syfte är att undersöka om platscheferna på ett byggföretag i Stockholm använder sig av några strategier för att kunna hantera de krav arbetet medför. Vidare vill vi ta reda på hur de beskriver och upplever sin psykiska och sociala hälsa.Vi utgår från följande frågeställningar:? Hur upplever platscheferna sin egen hälsa?? Gör platscheferna några medvetna hälsobringande val för att främja sin hälsa, och isåfall vad?? Vad använder sig platscheferna av för copingstrategier mot de krav arbetet ställer?MetodSom metod användes en enkät som bestod mestadels av öppna frågor. Efter ett bekvämlighetsurval skickades enkäten ut till 24 platschefer på ett byggföretag. Enkätsvaren sammanställdes varpå författarna analyserade och tolkade resultatet.ResultatPlatscheferna i studien har till synes en god självupplevd hälsa.

Personalen vid gatukontorets VA-avdelning arbetar dagtid, 3-skift eller har utöver sin ordinarie arbetstid beredskap, enligt ett roterande schema, för att vid behov träda i arbete. Detta har väckt funderingar på hur hälsan påverkas och vilka hälso-risker som finns. Företagshälsovården fick i uppdrag att genomföra en hälsounder-sökning.Syftet med undersökningen var att belysa vilka riskfaktorer som finns för de anställdas hälsa. Vad man vill ha svar på är medarbetarnas livsstil avseende kost, motion, alkohol och tobak. Likaså hur ser den så kallade medicinska statusen ut i fråga om blodtryck, kolesterol, p-glukos, Hb, BMI? Hur stressbelastande uppfattas arbetet av de anställda?Vid undersökningen användes enkäten ?Nattarbete?, som är ett standardformulär vid AB Previa.

In this report I will describe how an art-directed fluid effect for motion picture can be achieved. This effect will be an explosion with a visual style that is congruent with Pixar's movie Up. To begin with I will analyze the visual components that are used in Up and control the fluid simulation to get the desired visual style. I will briefly explain the background of my thesis, why it is interesting to create designed effects and why it is hard to design fluid effects. In the method I will explain my work process and some of the challenges that arises.

In what way were children in the 1930s and 1940s mean to each other, in which ways did theytease and bully one another? And what were the adults part, how did they react to thechildrens spite towards each other and did they do anything to stop it?These are the questions which have been addressed in this essay. In the answers given to us,by a survey in which 42 persons born in the 1920s and 1930s were asked, we have learned,that during the 1930s and 1940s when these children went to school, bullying did'nt occure asmuch. Not as they can remember today.We have also learned that it was mostly boys who were bullied, both mentaly and physical,with punches, being pushed, being laughed at and by being forced to do things they did notwant to do, such as stealing.The most common reasons for being bullied was that the children came from poor families,had ragged clothes, where dirty or had a physical disease such as cronical bronchitis.There where not many children who talked about being bullied with a teacher and the surveytells us that they didn't had any supervisors on the school yard.A number of the questioned answered that they thought that teachers had favourite students inthe classroom and they tell us stories in which teachers used corporal punishment, which waslegal at this time..

Syftet med studien är att undersöka vilka uppfattningar idrottslärarutbildare har om vad som är viktig kunskap för eleverna i grundskolan att utveckla genom de tre vanligaste aktiviteterna i ämnet Idrott och hälsa, enligt NU-03. De tre vanligaste aktiviteterna är bollaktiviteter, lekar och träning/motion. Sju intervjuer genomfördes med idrottslärarutbildare från fem olika lärosäten i det svenska utbildningssystemet. De analytiska verktygen som användes var Arnolds (1979;1985) teorier med bildning om, genom och i samt Carlgrens (2002) beskrivning av de fyra kunskapsformerna. Resultatet visade att de förtrogenhetskunskaper som enligt idrottslärarutbildarna var viktiga att utveckla i de tre aktiviteterna handlade om att kunna värdera olika aktiviteter i förhållande till varandra eller använda kunskapen individen har i en aktivitet i ett nytt sammanhang.

This project was led on behalf of Bombardier Transportation in Västerås, Sweden, incollaboration with KTH Stockholm and EPFL Lausanne. This project is connected to thedevelopment of a new and simplified tilt system for rail vehicles.Growing competition from other means of transportation has forced railway companiesthroughout the world to search for increased performances.Travelling time is the mostobvious performance indicator that may be improved by introducing high-speed trains.They require very large curve radii and long transitions curves not to impairridecomfort, another performance indicator. Building new tracks adapted to high speedtrains is very costly and can only be justified where the passenger base is large.Trains with the capability to tilt the carbodies inwards the curve is a more cost efficientalternative. The tilt inwards reduces thelateral force felt by the passengers allowing thetrain to pass curves at enhanced speed with maintained ride comfort but increases thefrequency ofmotion sickness.The benefits of tilting trains are improved speed capability in curves and enhancedpassengers comfort, but at higher buying and maintenance cost. As the conventionaltrains increase their speed in curves, the performance advantage of tilting trains isreduced while their prize is still kept significantly higher and constant.

Hälta är idag den vanligaste orsaken till att sport- och fritidshästar behöver uppsöka veterinär. Den största andelen av dessa hältor uppkommer på grund av olika problem i hästens synovialleder, som inflammationer eller degeneration av ledbrosket. Felaktig eller för mycket träning liksom olämplig anatomi i leden leder till att ledens strukturer utsätts för onormal stress. Inflammationen börjar oftast i ledvätskan, ledkapseln eller det subkondrala benet. Genom inflammatoriska mediatorer såsom cytokiner sprider sig den inflammatoriska processen till närliggande vävnader.

A new shipyard on the island of Beckholmen consisting of a new ship hall and complementary workshops. The program is extended with rentable industrial space for other smaller companies to take advantage of synergies with the yard and to create an active maritime cluster around Beckholmen. By building a marina and a port at the northern shoreline of the island the shipyard can expand their potential customers to non-commercial and larger recreational boats that are becoming increasingly common in Skärgården. The port is also supplemented with a combined naval fuel station, harbor office and a small café. The boat traffic in the region gets a additional stop at the end of the port and act as an additional gateway to Djurgården. Several small retail spaces with direct access to the water is created along the promenade between the port and Djurgården. The shipyard gets a modern and efficient industry building, while the island is made available to the public again, and Beckholmen will hopefully take an equal place in the city's consciousness as it does visually in the inlet to Stockholm..

The purpose of this work was to determine how important a word?s setting was for the readability of typography in motion. Facts regarding how reading works and the importance of the words formation for the readability were used to form a computer test. This test was performed by 15 test persons and the results were analyzed. The results show that the serif was easier to read than the sanserif.

Legionella can be prevented, the question is how. This report is a degree in construction engineering education at Chalmers University in Gothenburg. A comprehensive written publication for Legionella-safe plumbing installations is not available and therefore requested. The purpose of this report is to present preventative measures against Legionella bacteria growth in tap water and in other systems where Legionella bacteria are a potential problem. Technical solutions are presented including how different systems function and what their advantages and disadvantages are.

It is often challenging to create a new enrichment program for any animal. This is especially true with the additional challenge that I wanted to use only naturalistic enrichment, and I?m working with animals some of which are nocturnal. Even with a many hurdles, a little bit of enrichment can do a big difference and make a big difference in activity levels of the animals. Eskilstuna parkens zoo have a house called the MUSeum housing four kinds of rodents.
