The aim of this thesis was to look to the organization of people through social media and the Internet. Our study was conducted with a current event in focus. We began our study by examine the protests that had arisen as a result of that the American proposed law called "Stop Online Piracy Act" (SOPA)was presented. With our main focus on SOPA we began to investigate those discussions and debates that during a limited period of time were conducted on a large social news site, Reddit.com, which is a form of social media. We focused on the way that people expressed themselves over social mediawhen it comes to political issues and also whether or not Internet activism can have an effect in the society.

When one experiences a place, it is a complex composition of both social and spatial factors.One of these spatial elements, is scale, which is influenced both by the room size and itsproportions. This paper aims to explore both large and small scale concepts and thus increasethe understanding of how scale directly and indirectly affects the experiences and uses ofurban space.First, is a theoretical discussion of scale in relation to aesthetics and the differencesbetween real scale and perceived scale. Next, is an analysis of spatial perception usingexamples from two existing sites. One, which is understood to have been planned in a largescale and one which is understood to have been planned in a small scale.When preparing this paper, the focus quickly became the importance of scale as itrelates to street spaces. The perception of a street usually takes place while in motion, whichforces it to be perceived in sections.

Enligt den senaste folkhälsorapporten ökar den psykiska ohälsan i Sverige. Psykisk sjukdom kan försvåra personens delaktighet i vardagen, framförallt diagnoserna inom WHO:s ICD-klassifikation F20.0-24.9. Somatiska sjukdomar som kommer utav osunda vanor är vanligt hos den här gruppen.Hälsoprogram har utvecklats men man vet lite om hur den sortens undervisning har påverkat personerna som deltagit och om den har bidragit till någon förändring. Syftet var att beskriva just detta i en kvalitativ semistrukturerade intervjustudie där sex personer deltog.Materialet analyserades enligt innehållsanalys och det framkom ett övergripande tema ?Att delta i hälsoutbildning? samt tre kategorier och åtta underkategorier.Personer med psykisk sjukdom skiljer sig inte mycket åt från den övriga befolkningen.

Our lives in urban areas are becoming more and more inactive with negative effects on our mental and physical health. Natural environments and physical activity have the power to both prevent and reduce mental fatigue. Meanwhile we engage ourselves with physical activity, the nature fascinates us with its complexity. In April 2006, some of the visitors to the recreational area of Skrylle were asked to fill in a questionnaire which included questions about their habits within physical activity and the experience of nature. The questionnaires were then divided into two groups: those filled out by persons who exercise on regular basis (i.e. three or several times/week) and those who rarely exercise.

Att köra eller inte köra is a qualitative study aiming to show how environmentally conscious people who utilizes cars deal with their dissonant behavior, but at the sametime maintain an identity as environmentally conscious. The study is based on the fact that a third of those who drive cars in the municipality of Växjö would like to decrease their use of cars while at the same time having the infrastructural conditions to utilize other means of transportation. The study investigates inner obstacles in the form of habits and lifestyle, but also the different strategies the motorists use to reduce their cognitive dissonance and maintain a green identity. The indicators show that the reason the majority of the motorists continue to utilize cars is part due to inner obstacles (it's adeeply rooted habit, but also a big part of their lifestyles), part due to that the individuals have defenses for their use of their cars, defenses designed to have a dissonance reducing effect. The indicators also show that the motorists value their family higher than the environment, and in this way they can legitimize many of their car uses.

In this essay the author has studied teachers work with order and measure in the classroom. The empirical survey method has been collected through interviews of focus groups from three different schools located in three different municipalities consisting nine participating teachers in total. The aim with the study is to understand the complexity of creating order in the classrooms by the existing means of control and finding an answer to teachers reasoning around the two articles ?We need to inform how the situation are in school when it is at its worst? and ?Stop defaming school?.The analysis is structured by my questions at issue which are;How does the teachers' work with the means of control which exists in the curriculum to maintain the order in the classroom; how does the teachers concure to the concept of order in relation to the media and the political statements that exists regarding the order issues at school; are there any alternative measures and methods to maintain the order in the classroom.The result shows a unanimous view about what order is among the teachers. Order is a necessity for the pupils to have a good studying climate.

About a year ago, Göteborgs-Posten, one of Sweden's largest daily newspapers, decided it was unprofitable to continue producing their feature-style weekend magazine, Två Dagar. Standing at a crossroads,not wanting to stop producing the weekend magazine altogether, they decided to outsource. Spoon Publishing AB, a content agency with strong ties to Göteborg, were assigned with taking over the production.Going forward, Spoon has taken over a majority of the responsibility for the conceptual work and actual production, all with the main purpose of reducing cost and increasing efficiency.Normally Spoon does content marketing for a wide range of customers in an equally wide spectra of channels, from print to radio, television and web.The main purpose of this essay has been to investigate and establish whether the journalistic integrity and quality has in fact been maintained despite the weekend magazine being outsourced. We have analyzed selected editions of the magazine, first and foremost inarticles under the vignette fashion, using a qualitative method for content analysis, scrutinizing everything from the denotation of single words to the big picture. This specific vignette contains the most frequent contributions by in-house, or at least reappearing, journalists.Perusing the material in Två Dagar, we have come to the conclusion that the magazine has indeed retained its level of quality and still reflects the same core values as before being outsourced..

The term euthanasia is derived from the Greek terms eu meaning good and thanatos meaning death, "good death". The penetrating captive bolt is an effective method of euthanasia, when use of drugs is inappropriate. The horse becomes immediately unconscious and falls to the ground. First after the blood is emptied from the body the horse is dead. The use of injectable euthanasia agents is a rapid and reliable method of performing euthanasia. The aim is to stop the flow of oxygenated blood to vital organs and tissues. The muscle relaxants may be used either in combination wih or following an anaesthetic dose of barbiturate, their use use as a sole agent is totally inhumane.

Studien syftar till att undersöka användandet av kosttillskott och kunskaperna om desamma på gym. En enkätundersökning har genomförts med 73 svarande varav 39 (53,4 %) var män och 34 (46,6 %) var kvinnor. Av deltagarna i undersökningen tog 53,4 % (n=39) kosttillskott. Större andel av männen, 64,1 % (n=25), än av kvinnorna, 41,2 % (n=14) tog kosttillskott. 69,2 % (n=27) av de som tränade för att bygga muskler tog samtidigt kosttillskott.

In this paper the possibilities to replace metal with plastic in products for the building industry were looked into. The first part was a market examination where several suitable products were found. After evaluation the door latch for in-house doors was selected to be re-designed to better suit the properties of plastic.New types of mechanisms were designed with different functions that use the benefits of plastic materials. Models of these mechanisms were developed to evaluate their function. The components in the different mechanisms were adapted for manufacturing with injection moulding.To confirm that the plastic material could handle the appearing stresses calculations on the most vulnerable parts were carried out.

De flesta loggningsenheter för spänningssignaler som används idag kräver en koppling till en persondator för att fungera. Men det är oftast inte idealiskt att vara tvungen att använda en persondator under själva loggningsprocessen, speciellt inte om test eller felsökning skall utföras på kretskort som är monterade på ett svåråtkomligt ställe. Denna rapport är slutrapporten för examensarbetet fristående signallogger, som utfördes på företaget Motion Control i Västerås AB. Examensarbetet gick ut på att utveckla en logger som oberoende av en persondator kan utföra insamling av analog och digital mätdata. Detta dokument beskriver de olika undersökningarna som utfördes för att få en grund inför själva utvecklingsarbetet. Därefter så beskrivs de krav och den grundläggande designen som togs fram, detta följs av konstruktionen av hårdvara samt firmware. Rapporten tar även upp de tester som utförts, för att kontrollera de krav som ställdes på produkten.

Bakgrund: Övervikten i den svenska befolkningen och i västvärlden har de senaste 25 åren ökat och gått allt längre ned i åldrarna. Övervikt och fetma utgör en riskfaktor för sjukdomar av såväl somatiska som psykosocial karaktär.Syfte: Litteraturstudiens syfte var att beskriva hälsopromotiva interventioner för barn och ungdomar.Metod: En litteraturstudie med artikelsökning och granskning utifrån syftet gjordes. Fem kvantitativa och en kvalitativ artikel inkluderades efter kvalitetsbedömningen.Resultat: Resultatet visar på att problemet med övervikt måste ses ur flera perspektiv och åtgärdas från flera håll. Mönster som växte fram var: skolpersonalens interventioner, föräldrars interventioner, hälso- och sjukvårdspersonalens interventioner samt andra aktörers påverkan. Interventionernas tyngdpunkt ligger på kost och motion.Slutsats: Framförallt en god kosthållning och fysisk aktivitet är viktiga faktorer för en lyckad intervention.

There is a new beverage container on the market, a bottle made out of pure aluminum as a replacement for the traditional container made out of glass. This new container has the potential to reduce both cost and pollution during transportation, the lighter and stronger construction has every advantage compared to the old one in glass. The new container has every possibility to make it on the market. Some of the biggest brands within the soft drink market already use these bottles in countries without any recycling demands like: Coca-Cola, Heineken and Pepsi. The only thing stopping these brands from the Swedish market is the lack of a functional return system, there is only one company that uses the bottle in Sweden today and they take care of their own used bottles.

Idag ställs höga krav på en ensamstående mamma. Hon ansvarar för uppfostran och försörjning av sitt/sina barn i ett samhälle där stress är en stor del av vardagen. I denna studie undersöks om den genomsnittliga ensamstående mamman har sämre självupplevd hälsa än den genomsnittliga mamman som bor med sitt/sina barns pappa. Detta utförs med hjälp av en logistisk regressionsanalys. Studien ämnar undersöka vilka av de oberoende variablerna som har ett samband med den ensamstående mammans självupplevda hälsa.

Personer med schizofreni går upp i vikt, dels som en effekt av sjukdomens negativa symtom men även som en del av läkemedelsbehandlingen med atypiska antipsykotika.Syftet med denna litteraturöversikt var att studera betydelsen av olika interventioner för viktnedgång hos personer med schizofreni, vilka behandlas med atypisk antipsykotika.Metod: Arbetet gjordes som en litteraturöversikt där vetenskapliga artiklar söktes i databaserna PubMed, Cinahl och PsychInfo för att sedan kvalitetsbedömas och sammanställas. Tolv artiklar användes i resultatet, varav elva kvantitativa och en kvalitativ. Frågeställningarna låg till grund för analysen för att hitta och sortera materialet.Resultat: Interventionerna visade sig ha betydelse för vikten då alla deltagare i interventionsgrupperna minskade i vikt, avstannade i viktökning eller ökade ytterst lite i vikt.Diskussion: Då resultatet visade att interventionerna var av betydelse bör sjuksköterskan arbeta aktivt för att förebygga och behandla övervikten hos dessa personer..
