Purpose.The purpose of this essay was formulated as to examine the relationship between the development of deaths caused by unintentional injury and fast economic development in a country. The purpose is to create a picture of the development in the chosen countries.Background.Injuries and the deaths that sometimes follow are a problem for all communities, if nothing else just because of costs and the absence of incomes for the state. Countries ability to restrain these deaths should be of interest. Studies show that the number of deaths causedby unintentional injuries correlates inversely with the GDP/c, we can therefore expect that better economic conditions leads to fewer deaths and vice versa. It has been shown that an economic crisis often leads to considerably higher death rates.

Vid kontursprängning i en tunnel uppstår med jämna mellanrum fenomenet med kvarstående bergmassor i konturen, dessa bergmassor kallas glasögon. Resterna som blir kvar bidrar till ett stort bekymmer, eftersom det blir tvunget att spränga bort dem. Dessa glasögon kostar företaget tid och pengar som skulle kunna användas till bättre ändamål. Studierna i denna rapport berör två olika sprängämnessorter som laddas i konturen, SSE 7000P samt Cord 80g/m..

Bakgrund: Information har kommit att bli en alltmer kritisk ingrediens i dagens samhälle. Detta har drivit utvecklingen av informationsteknologi (IT) och informationssystem (IS), vilket har gjort det möjligt för organisationer att bearbeta stora mängder information. Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är att beskriva implementationsprocessen av ett informationssystem utifrån ett organisatoriskt perspektiv snarare än utifrån ett tekniskt sådant. Vi ämnar analysera processen och de eventuella problem som denna medför genom att använda två olika perspektiv; nämligen det hårda och det mjuka perspektivet.Avgränsningar: Uppsatsen behandlar inte uppköp som sådant. Vi inriktar oss på implementationsprocessen av ISP i Nordic Lubricants AB.

AbstractSweden applies two different private international statutes to establish which country´s domestic law that is applicable in a certain situation regarding succession and will with connection to two or more states. The first private international law is the one used in relations between Sweden and the other Nordic states. The other private international law is the one used between Sweden and all other states than the Nordic ones. A proposal for a Regulation that regulate jurisdiction, applicable law, recognition and enforcement of decisions and authentic instruments in matters of succession and the creation of a European Certificate of Succession has been prepared by the Commission and was published in October 2009. This regulation will, if it enters into force, modify the situation in Sweden for applicable law on a situation regarding succession and will.

A protocol for an ergonomicanalysis on the equipment has also been elaborated.One of the methods to measure the biomechanics was to measure the torque through thewhole movement.

We have made a litterature study about pain in animals. In this studie we have brought up areas like sign of pains in animals, pain relief and the care perspective. Pain is perceived when body tissue is damaged or nearly damaged by stimuli. Nociceptors, which are receptors placed at nerve endings, responds to a provocation of pain and transmit an impulse along the nerve to the brain via the spinal cord. Pain is urgent or chronic, and can be divided into nociceptive pain (somatic pain and visceral pain) and neuropathic pain. Different pain mechanisms can arise, such as referred pain, which is when signals of pain are referred to other parts of the body.

Joint injury (inflammation) or osteoarthritis is the most common cause of poor performance in the athletic horse. Osteoarthritis is the ensuing degeneration of joint cartilage due to inflammation/injury. The single most important factor in the inflammation cascade of joint injuries is interleukin-1 (IL-1). Until recently, these injuries have been treated with products like hyaluronic acid, cortisone and polysulphated glycosaminoglycans (PSGAG). Several studies have not been able to demonstrate a significant difference in the clinical improvement of joint injuries treated with hyaluronic acid or PSGAG and saline.

The purpose of this study is to describe how, and if, discourses about self-harm in young people has been changed from the late 90-s until today. We chose to do this by studying films where the content of self-harm is a big factor. The study is built on a narrative research, we did however analyze it as a discourse method. The issues we have concentrated on are: Is there a significant quality that describes an individual who cut themselves? How can this phenomenon be seen from a gender point of view? Is there a specific group of people who is labeled as a person who cut themselves from the public? The result from this study show us that self-injury, from symptoms of a (bad) mental state, is a strong discourse where the views from the society lets it become more acceptable.

Background: Mergers have been increasing during the latter part of the 1990s. In the Nordic region many previously national companies have joined their forces to create a new Nordic company. This will lead to many challenges when the companies are integrated.Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the integration phase. Our goal is to study the integration of Cloetta Fazer and learn how the company can handle the two types of integration. Procedure: To be able to prove our assumptions, that were made on the basis of literature, we have collected empirical material by interviewing eight managers at Cloetta Fazer.

This essay explores the economical and social paradigms surrounding one of the most influentialNordic border dynastic noble families in the second half of the fifteenth century - the AxelssonTotts. How mercantile possibilities and opportunities offered to them, reflected on their politicalactions and social bands. The Axelsson brothers of the Tott Dynasty would become of one of themost powerful noble families within the Nordic Union between 1444 och 1487.Axel Pedersen (Tott) would through well chosen marriage alliances into the noble families of bothDenmark and Sweden, and with political prowess lay the foundation for one of the most dynamicfamily empires of the fifteenth century. In the year 1442, the Axelsson brothers swore loyalty toeach other; to protect and defend their mercantile and economical interests in Denmark andSweden. They would eventually control the trading routes in the border areas of the Union, and byexploiting the political chaos within the Union they would gain access and influence to the landtrading routes for export and import within the Union and the shipping export routes in the BalticSea allowing them access to the Russian market through Finland and Estonia.The island of Gotland, with its tactical and important geographical position in the Baltic Seabecame the key to the Nordic Union.

Denna studie har som syfte att synliggöra de kunskaper som skandinaviska ungdomar har i de nordiska grannspråken danska, norska och svenska. Vi har använt oss av en kvantitativ undersökningsmetod, och resultaten visar dels att eleverna har en större läsförståelse i norska än danska och svenska, dels att viktigast för förståelsen är kontakten med språket.Undervisningen i grannspråken har minskat under de sista 25 åren och en bidragande orsak till detta kan vara dels att lärarna prioriterar bort området till förmån för andra moment, dels att det engelska språket är viktigare i den alltmer globaliserade värld vi lever i..

Mycket av den moderna sjukvården bygger på ett omfattande användande av läkemedel. Inom läkemedelsbranschen är det en förutsättning att produkterna håller en hög kvalitet eftersom de påverkar användarnas hälsa. Marknadsföring av läkemedel är strikt reglerad och riktar sig inte främst till slutkunden utan till förskrivande vårdpersonal. Läkemedelsföretag är vinstmotiverade och strävar efter lämpliga marknadsföringsstrategier för att kunna överträffa konkurrenternas erbjudanden. Syftet med denna kandidatuppsats var att få en fördjupad förståelse för hur marknadsföring kan ske i läkemedelsbranschen.

It is a well known fact today that suffering due to skin disorders is one of the most common causes to veterinary calls. For the Doberman breed included in the group of working dogs, the frequency and distribution of the different skinrelated diagnoses that causes visits to the veterinary clinics remains undocumented. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the frequency of skinrelated problems causing veterinary visits of Doberman at four different veterinaryclinics in Sweden retrospectively, and compare these results with dogs in general and three other working dog breeds with the help of information collected from Agria - a Swedish animal insurance company. The total amount of veterinary calls that were registered at the clinics in question during the time of the study was 2460 visits. From these, 658 visits were due to skinrelated disorders, which amount to 27%. The most frequent cause to skinsuffering was injury caused by trauma, 15,7% of the Dobermans that were included in the study were affected, the second most frequent cause was inflammatory and infectious skin problems with 12,3% followed by neoplastic changes in the skin with 7% of the Dobermans affected.
