Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a progressive neurological disease which causes a slow degeneration of the body. Living with this disease means being exposed to severe strain and every day could bring new losses. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis does not cause any harm to the intellect, the mind remains unaffected. The aim of this study was to achieve an understanding, and to shed light on the nature of positive life experiences of people living with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. This literature study is based on detailed examination of three person's narrations taken from their autobiography and biographies.

Svenska Spel har en programvara för att hantera den spelterminal där kassören matar in kunders köp av spel. Denna terminal har idag sina brister och begränsningar som Svenska Spel hoppas skulle lösas med en webbaserad ersättare.Mitt examensarbete har grundats i att undersöka om denna översättning skulle vara möjlig samt vilka för och nackdelar detta skulle innebära. Rapporten hanterar därför de problem som behövs lösas för att möjliggöra en sådan implementation Hur man ska gå tillväga och vad man bör tänka på.Examensarbetet har resulterat i utveckling av en prototyp som har tillräcklig implementation för att möta specifikationskraven. I stora drag ser jag väldigt positivt på lösningen även om det finns delar att ta hänsyn till.Rapporten riktar sig främst till Svenska Spel, men också till dig som är ny inom webbapplikationsutveckling och vill ha en bra start att utgå ifrån..

In the coming years, organic food waste will be collected in the region of Gästrikland, Sweden. The collection is planned to cover the entire region by the end of year 2007. To start with, smaller amounts are being collected and transported to a central composting plant in Sala. However, a central composting plant in the region of Gästrikland is projected.The objective of this thesis is to evaluate a number of possible methods for composting of organic food wastes regarding their environmental impacts and localization.There are four scenarios for future composting of organic waste that have been evaluated. There are two that consist of membrane composting, either in Sala or in the region of Gästrikland.

A growing number of cities and municipalities in Sweden begin to work with city models in 3D. For the most part the models are used for visualizations of ongoing planning processes, but also for the analysis of noise, shadow studies and environmental disaster simulations.Gothenburg continues to develop the use of 3D maps in municipal operations and is demanding a way to create building elements (walls), which generates in 3D buildings, from roof constructions that are mapped from the primary map. A method has been investigated in the present study. The results are then presented as a 3D model of buildings, along with a terrain map that will facilitate the localization of the area. The created 3D buildings are then compared with roof-data from the primary map to see how well they harmonize with each other.

Cyanobacteria belong to the oldest organisms of our planet. They use photosynthesis to produce ATP and gain biomass from carbon dioxide. The cyanobacteria Nostoc punctiforme is a filamentous bacterium that consists of two different types of cells, vegetative cells and heterocysts. The type of cell it differentiates into depends on the media they grow in. In an ammonium-rich medium, the N.punctiforme consists of vegetative cells that differentiate into heterocysts when in the medium is changed to a low-concentration ammonium medium.

In this report a study is carried out with the aim to identify added values of EPC projects implemented in schools in order to increase the interest of EPC projects on the market. The report examines how the planned maintenance, supervision, maintenance and corrective maintenance is affected, how insurance premiums and terms are affected, the indoor environment and how the tasks of the operating staff is changing. A literature study of energy savings, energy use in schools, maintenance and insurance as well as how energy efficiency improvements are related to the Swedish environmental objectives has been made. Visits were carried out in Ludvika, interviews were also carried out with operation technicians and local strategists in Ludvika as well as employees of insurance companies.Schools often have neglected maintenance and problems with ventilation and indoor environment. Schools also have a large energy saving potential due to their low utilization, mainly because they are empty parts of the year.

That the Swedish society looks different depending on the location is a fact and that in turn means different schools with different conditions and resources depending on the localization. We have in this study interviewed four teachers in a high-status school and four teachers at a low-status school in a municipality south of Stockholm. The purpose of our study is to find out how teachers / educators perceive children's physical and psychological safety in their workplaces, and if there is a difference between the schools in resource allocation.In order to answer our purpose of the study, we chose to interview teachers about how the school looks for the kids in order of enough resources such as books for all, enough facilities and competent and even skilled teachers. To take into account and consider people´s backgrounds, experiences, and cultural frames of reference is a way to interact within a respectful world, and as a good approach to educating children from all parts of the world and with all the different mental and physical difficulties. The two schools in our study show lack of resources but of different kinds.

?Street prostitution, why there?? is about how the physical planning and physical environment affect the localization of street prostitution in Gothenburg. The aim is to increase the understanding of how social security is linked to man's immediate environment and are influenced by the physical environment. Important concepts that are explained in the paper are social security, prostitution, and physical planning.This study deals with theories about the factors that may influence why criminality localized to a specific area, such as legislation, urban planning and community. The study conducted interviews with the Gothenburg Police, Västra Götaland County Administrative Board, Gothenburg City, Stadsmissionen and Mikamottagningen.

In today s society, services are becoming more and more important. They are however, partly because of their immaterial nature, separated from traditional merchandise, why the marketing and producing of them differs. Quality errors in a service are often difficult to discover before the service is brought to a customer, since the producing and consuming of it often takes place simultaneously. Quality errors in a service process are called service failures or in Swedish tjänstefel. Nevertheless, with an effective service recovery process, dissatisfied customers can be turned into satisfied ones.

SammanfattningBakgrund: Det finns ett flertal njursjukdomar som kan leda till behov av en njurtransplantation som därför är en eftertraktad behandlingsform vid terminal njursvikt. Tidigare upplevelser och erfarenheter tillsammans med ett flertal faktorer kan påverka patienternas upplevelse och livskvalitet efter genomgången njurtransplantation.Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva vuxna patienters upplevelse av genomgången njurtransplantation.Metod: En litteraturstudie med en kvalitativ ansats har genomförts. Tio vetenskapliga artiklar analyserades med hjälp av kvalitativ innehållsanalys.Resultat: Efter analys framkom tre huvudkategorier som beskriver patienters upplevelse av genomgången njurtransplantation: Upplevelse av att anpassa sig till en ny livssituation, Upplevelse av motstridiga känslor samt Upplevelse av förändrad kropp. Slutsats: Det är viktigt att uppmärksamma patienternas livssituation efter att ha genomgått en njurtransplantation då varje upplevelse och individ är unik. Att se över vilken information patienterna får och hur de får den skulle kunna öka patienternas livskvalitet ytterligare..

SCA är Europas största skogsindustrikoncern. Fem bruk är lokaliserade i norra Sverige medan marknaderna för dessa bruks produkter är i Skandinavien samt övriga Europa. För att kunna konkurrera med de europeiska bruken är det mycket viktigt med en effektiv och pålitlig distribution. Då orderstorlekarna blivit mindre, lastning av arkat papper sker på pall samt att krav på regularitet och kortare ledtider ökat ansågs det gamla distributionssystemet vara förlegat. Ett helt nytt distributionssystem utarbetades i samarbete med MoDo.

In this investigation has an attempt to find out whether so called transplanting shock depends on the moving and transplanting of trees, to other conditions, or if it is due to the imbalance between the root to shoot ratio. Seventy trees of Prunus avium have been part of the investigation and these trees have been divided into four different groups depending on methods of production, untouched on the field, trees still on the field but with root pruning, trees moved and planted into Root-Control-Bag, trees moved and planted into Spring-rings. To be able to answer the question, measurements of the length of the terminal shoots and the lateral shoots and the dimension of the stem growth have been done and also has a visual judgment of the trees vitality been performed. The result shows that it is not only the move of the trees that gives them transplanting shock, but rather the loss of roots which gives an imbalance between the root and crown..

 Background: Euthanasia means help to die. Some terminally ill patients wish for euthanasia. Purpose: Illuminating terminally ill patients' desire for voluntary euthanasia. Method: A general literature study. Seven articles were reviewed and analyzed.

Examensarbetet är en studie på uppdrag av SCA Transforest i Sundsvall, som är ett logistikföretag inom SCA Forest Products. Studien är ägnad en av Transforests fem hamnterminaler, Interforest Terminal Sundsvall, ITS. ITS har ett magasinsutrymme på 70.000 m2 och hade år 2004 ett genomflöde på 1.431.000 ton främst i form av skogsindustriella produkter. Genomflödet av gods har över tiden kraftigt ökat vid ITS och idag upplever man att utrymmet både i befintliga magasin och i terminalen som helhet är begränsat. Då en fortsatt ökning av godsvolymer är trolig och möjligheten att utöka terminalområdet är liten, vill ITS utreda hur flödena och lagerlogistiken i terminalen skulle kunna rationaliseras.

Certain types of waste, e.g. bottom ash originating from municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI bottom ash) can be used as road construction materials. A potential problem is the possibility of substances leaching out of the road and spreading in the surrounding groundwater.The aim of this master?s thesis is to conclude whether hydrogeological type settings can be employed to, based on local conditions, provide an estimate of the probable spreading of these substances in the surrounding groundwater, and whether certain types of soils can be identified as being less suitable for the localization of a MSWI bottom ash road. A hydrogeological type setting is defined as a mappable unit with similar hydrogeological properties.
