Studien omfattade 90 honkatter som kastrerades av veterinärstudenter på UDS smådjursklinik. Tanken med studien är att fastställa hur vanligt det är med komplikationer efter ovariehysterektomi hos honkatt utförd av veterinärstudenter, samt vilka komplikationer som förekommer mest frekvent. Honkatterna kastrerades under dissociativ anestesi via linea albasnitt. Två olika postoperativa analgesipreparat användes, 49 av katterna gavs tolfenaminsyra och 41 av katterna gavs meloxicam. Djurägarna kontaktades via telefon tio till tjugo dagar efter kastrationen för att svara på ett antal frågor om hur deras katt har mått postoperativt och om några komplikationer har tillstött.

In Sweden, the most common way to castrate a bitch is by midline approach. In this study, flank and midline approaches are compared in order to evaluate incision by the flank as an alternative technique for ovariohysterectomy in the bitch. The study was performed on straydogs in the central part of Thailand under field conditions. 32 bitches were included in the study. The castration technique was by flank and midline approach, alternating with every other bitch.

This report describes the development of a sample loader for my diploma work at Q-linea AB in Uppsala. The sample loader will replace the process of loading fluid samples into Q-linea?s instrument for biomolecule analysis. The earlier process was done by hand and was a time consuming and inefficient task.The work was initiated with a design phase where an overview of the system was created. The sample loader will be receiving text commands from a PC that coordinates all the subsystems like pumps and lasers on the analysis instrument.

The Uppsala based company Q-linea develops procedures, instruments and systems for protein and nucleic acid analysis. The components in such an instrument are controlled by microcontrollers. Microcontrollers are computers in one singular chip that can be used in a wide range of applications such as cars, toys or in this case an analysis instrument. When developing a new instrument for biochemical analysis, Q-linea needed new software for controlling and communicating between the components in the instrument. The process of developing this software is the subject of this thesis.The project included research of microcontrollers and the components in the instrument.

This report describes how a syringe pumpwas developed for Q-linea AB inUppsala Science Park as a bachelor´sthesis at Uppsala University. Thepurpose of the syringe pump is toreplace existing pumps in one of Qlineasdosage instruments. The reasons for whythe pumps are replaced are that they arebig and heavy. Therefore the task was todesign a smaller and lighter syringepump.The goal of the project was to create aprototype of the design that met themechanical requirements posed. Therequirements were met.In the report the work process can befollowed from the development of thespecifications to the final design andtests of the prototype.

Den här rapporten beskriver arbetet med en automatiserad provrörsförflyttare. Det är ett examensarbete som har gjorts på företaget Q-linea AB. En karuselliknande konstruktion med en stegmotor användes för att flytta prover mellan ett antal positioner. En mikrokontroller som hanterar styrning och sensordata har programmerats i C. LabVIEW och en USB-kamera har använts som hjälp till att göra utvärderingar och tester av systemet.

Thesis purpose The study aims to examine the effects vertical and horizontal line extensions might have on the total parent brand equity in terms of strength and its baseline product regarding of market share, loyalty and penetration under an elapsed period of time. The study aims to investigate a number of actual conducted line extensions effect on the above mentioned aspects of Kellers (1993) definition of brand strength as a part of the total brand equity. Methodology The effect of a number of line extensions of the parent brands and the baseline products is being examined in terms of market share, loyalty rate, cannibalization and market penetration. The thesis is focused on the correlations between these different parameters during a certain elapsed time ratio in order to test our theoretically routed hypothesizes in a deductive manner. Occasional correlations are derived from an indexation of data collected from the Gfk database. Theoretical perspective The study is derived from Kapferers (2004) definition of brand equity, where he is dividing the concept into three parts. This study is focused on Brand strength in particular, which is one of the parameters in the above-mentioned theory.

Titel: Har kreativitet gränser? En kvantitativ studie som undersöker effekter av kreativ traditionell reklam jämfört med gerillareklam och därefter klargör vilken kreativ metod som är mest effektiv.Uppsatsförfattare: Ivana Gagula & Linea Marklund                                                  Datum: 2014-05-23Nyckelord: Gerillamarknadsföring, kreativ traditionell marknadsföring, kreativitet,reklam, varumärke, intention Dagens konsumenter blir dagligen utsatta för en stor mängd kommersiella budskap. Detta gör det svårt för företag att sticka ut i mediebruset och nå konsumenter på ett effektivt sätt. Den traditionella marknadsföringen är i en nedåtgående trend där konsumenter blockerar reklam vilket visar att det upplevda värdet av reklam bland konsumenter är lågt. Till följd av detta har olika marknadsföringsmetoder utvecklas.
