The aim of this study was to describe and to analyze needs and social efforts concerning unaccompanied/separated asylum-seeking children. The responsibility for the reception of this target group was transferred on July 1, 2006 from the Swedish Migration Board to the municipalities that sign an agreement with the Swedish Migration Board. Eight qualitative interviews were carried out with representatives for transit-residents and assigned municipalities in Skåne. Our main questions were: How has the reception of unaccompanied/separated asylum-seeking children been planned, how do the municipalities and the transit-residents consider their needs and what is the level of qualifications and competence within the municipalities in order to work with unaccompanied/separated asylum-seeking children on the basis of social efforts? We chose to clarify our findings on the basis of the attachment theory, which is applicable during the critical emancipation phase that the vast majority of the unaccompanied/separated asylum-seeking children find themselves in.

Deciduous forests are, according to the National Environmental Quality Objectives, a priority area. Deciduous forests are rich in species and the occurrence of dead wood is an important factor for biodiversity. In order to identify valuable deciduous forests for bio-diversity, conservation needs good analyses and planning tools. Habitat models combined with geographic information systems can be used to study the spatial structure of suitable habitat. The Lesser spotted woodpecker (Dendrocopos minor) has been proposed as an indicator species for deciduous forests, since this species is highly specialized on insect larvae in dead wood and requires large areas of deciduous-rich environments. Many riparian forest with high species richness and high nature conservation values are found along the Ume river in Umeå municipality.

This is a thesis for a Bachelor Degree Project, performed in the subject MechanicalEngineering. The students Roger Malmberg and Simon Hagberg have carried out adesign project on behalf of the recently established company J&D Assisting systems,located in Halmstad.The project consisted in developing J&D's first prototype of a power assisting solutionfor wheelchairs. A power assisted wheelchair combines human power, which is deliveredby the arms through the pushrims, with electrical motors, which are powered by a battery.The power assisted wheelchair is aimed at customers, who have used a regularwheelchair for a long time, but who have become weaker or just need additional powerwhen driving uphill. This kind of wheelchair will provide additional power for users,which will spare their wrists, elbow and shoulders. The product is torque sensor free andinstead it relies on the velocity.

In May 1675, the local court in the northern Swedish parish of Nordingrå, which had approximately 1,000 inhabitants, held a preliminary investigation on 113 persons accused of witch-craft and superstition. For the majority of the 113, the main accusation was to have travelled to Blåkulla, a place where witches according to Swedish folklore participated in satanic festivities and rites led by the Devil himself. The preliminary investigation was held at the request of The Royal Witch-craft Commission. Nordingrå belonged to the province of Ångermanland, one of the Swedish provinces with the highest number of witch trials in the 1670s. The trials in Nordingrå have, more or less never been examined before, mainly due to the fact that no sentences or penalties were ever imposed.The purpose of this paper is to examine social relations and social conflicts in Nordingrå with the records from the witch trial 1675 as the primary source.

The aim of this thesis has been to achieve a deeper understanding of how librarians provide adult readers with individually adapted readers´ advisory in public libraries. The focus within this context, has been to find an answer to how the librarians understand what appeal factors the readers are attracted to and what kind of reading experience the readers are looking for to be able to match book and reader.To be able to find answers to our research question we conducted eight interviews with librarians working with readers´ advisory in eight different public libraries in Skåne. Our theoretical standing point for the thesis has been that of Marie L. Radford and Cathrine Sheldrick Ross. Sheldrick Ross provided theories concerning the appeal factors of books.

Ljumskskador tillhör en av de vanligaste skadorna inom fotboll och håller många spelare borta från match och träning. Det finns faktorer som utsätter en spelare för ökad risk att skada sig och dessa är viktiga att känna till för att förstå orsakerna till att skada uppstår samt för att kunna förebygga skador med preventiv träning. Syftet med studien var att granska den vetenskapliga litteraturen avseende riskfaktorer och prevention för ljumskskador inom fotboll. En litteratursökning gjordes i databaserna PubMed, Cinahl och AMED vilket resulterade i att 20 artiklar inkluderades. Artiklarna kvalitetsgranskades och poängsattes med PEDro-scale eller ?Bedömningsmall för riskfaktorer?.

Idrottare använder i många fall prestationshöjande tillskott för att öka sin explosivitet, uthållighet och få en bättre återhämtning. Vid prestation ställs olika fysiska krav för den som utövar en specifik idrott. Det kan exempelvis handla om krav på rörlighet, snabbhet eller uthållighet, för att utövaren ska lyckas med sin prestation. Tidigare studier om prestation har visat att kreatin och koffein är två ämnen med en faktiskt bevisad prestationshöjande effekt och är där av vanligt att använda som tillskott. Craze är närmare bestämt ett så kallat ?Pre workout? (PWO) tillskott som intas innan träning eller en match och påstås ge effekter som ökat fokus, ökad styrka, mer energi och snabbare återhämtning.

SammanfattningSyfte och frågeställningarSyftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur manliga brottare på elitnivå hanterar ängslan inför och under ett svenskt mästerskap. De frågeställningar som använts för att uppfylla syftet är:Vilka copingstrategier använder sig rutinerade brottare av inför en match jämfört med mindre rutinerade brottare?Upplevs ängslan i huvudsak som positiv eller negativ för prestationen?Finns det skillnader i hur rutinerade brottare hanterar ängslan jämfört med mindre rutinerade brottare inför och under ett SM?MetodVi har använt oss av både en kvantitativ och en kvalitativ metod, där den kvantitativa delen består av en enkät, Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2R (CSAI-2R) som 18 manliga brottare (viktklass74 kg) mellan 17 och 32 år, fick fylla i. Den kvalitativa delen består av fyra intervjuer. Intervjupersonerna valdes ut efter tidigare internationella prestationer på seniornivå.

Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att undersöka om det finns skillnader mellan svensk och amerikansk ishockeyjournalistik. Mer specifikt undersöktes gestaltningen av ishockey samt det mediala utrymme ishockeyn fick i Sportbladet, SportExpressen, The Boston Globe och The Washington Post. Undersökningen har genomförts via en kvantitativ innehållsanalys, en kvalitativ innehållsanalys samt en kvalitativ intervjuundersökning.Resultatet från den kvantitativa undersökningen visar att ishockeyn får lika stort tidningsutrymme i de båda länderna ? men att de svenska tidningarna prioriterar att skriva om spelarna, samtidigt som de amerikanska fokuserar mer på lagen. Resultatet från den kvalitativa analysen visar tydligt att de undersökta svenska sportsidorna dramatiserar nyheterna, medan de amerikanska lägger större fokus på rapportering och fakta.

Background. Anesthetic-related death in small animal anesthesia is about ten times more common than in human anesthesia. Recent research identifies the early postoperative period as particularly risky and highlights the need for regular and careful monitoring of the veterinary patient during this period. Objective. The aims of this study were to investigate whether there are standard procedures in terms of regulated routine patient observations and record-keeping during the early postoperative period at Swedish veterinary clinics, and if there are any guidelines for monitoring the veterinary patient during recovery. Methods. A small survey including ten Swedish veterinary clinics was carried out as well as a literature review. Results.

Background - Swedish trade and industry primarily involves small corporations, including small manufacturing corporations. Currently, most costing models that are used are based on studies accomplished at large corporations. This conveys to the fact that product costing that occurs at small manufacturing corporations is based on all complexities that large corporations bring, which rarely match with small corporations. It occurs that small manufacturing corporations unconsciously rely on incorrect information that has been calculated based on great corporations? product costing.

In this work, a method was developed and evaluated for calculating the life of welds under the influence of fatigue loads from a vibration environment. Typically, a shaker table is used for testing a component against vibration loads. The shaker table creates a vibration environment that is defined in the frequency domain by a power spectrum.Similarly, a virtual vibration table can be used to calculate the same type of load environment, which can then be used to calculate the expected lifetime. The benefit of this method is that it can be used in design, as well as in simulation of tests before physical verification tests are carried out.Today there are methods for calculating fatigue life of non-welded base material, but since many components contain welded joints, there is a need to apply this method to those types as well. To achieve this, the thesis combines two different areas, which together provide a method for fatigue assessment of welds using a virtual shaker table.The methodology is carried out by modeling the component, and its welded joints, in a finite element program.
