The increased travelling of today makes nodes along travelling routes more and more important. This is very much the case of petrol stations. They constitute important nodes in the road network, filling up thirsty fuel tanks and hungry stomachs, guiding road users and providing vehicle-services. In this thesis the role of the petrol station for road users was investigated in order to find out if the petrol station was a potential hot spot. We performed an ethnographic field study at a petrol station and found that a great number of visitor activities took place at the petrol station.

Helicobacter är en gramnegativ, mikroaerofil, ureas-positiv, skruvformad bakterie som hittas i mag-tarmkanalen, saliv och faeces. Helicobacter pylori orsakar hos människor gastrointestinala sjukdomar, cancer och försvagning av immunsystemet. År 1988 isolerades den första skruvformade bakterien från katt och 1991 fick den namnet Helicobacter felis. De vanligaste arterna hos katt är Helicobacter felis och Helicobacter heilmannii. Mycket av forskningen idag görs för att fastställa patogenesen och för att undersöka om det finns någon zoonosrisk avseende överföring av Helicobacter species från katt till människa eller vice versa.

The purpose of this essay is to study the role of web radio in Sweden. To fulfill the purpose we have done a case study of two Swedish radio stations: Sveriges Radio AB, which is a public service station, and a commercial station called Mix Megapol. By interviewing two persons from each station and analyzing the contents of their web sites, we have tried to see how the relationship between radio, Internet and web radio looks like. Thus, our method is qualitative. We have come to many conclusion of which some are: The new medium web radio borrows qualities from the traditional radio.

Lungcancer är en av de dödligaste formerna av cancer idag. Speciellt en typ av lungcancer har ökat på senare år vilket är adenocarcinom med subtypen bronchioloalveolärt carcinom (BAC). Det har föreslagits att lungcancer på katt skulle kunna vara en bra modell för forskning på BAC. ?Lung-digit syndrome? är en ofta beskriven form av lungcancer hos katt. Syndromet finns även rapporterat hos människa.

Denna rapport syftar till att belysa på vilka sätt vistelsen på stationärvårdsavdelningen kan påverka katten. Den berör på vilka sätt hanteringen av och miljön kring den hospitaliserade katten kan främja eller ha en negativ inverkan på patienten. En katt som drabbas av stark stress och vantrivsel får inte bara ett försämrat fysiskt tillfrisknande från den åkomma som är orsaken till dess vistelse på stallavdelningen utan belastas även mentalt. Detta kan ge upphov till en rad komplikationer och beteendestörningar. Det är också enklare och säkrare för personalen på stallavdelningen att hantera en katt som känner sig trygg än en som på grund av stress befinner sig i ett slags beredskapstillstånd.

Hur förenar man på bästa sätt två skilda funktionsprogram, privata och allmänna intressen på en central plats i Stockholms citykärna?.

This study examines the work of art in the underground station Kungsträdgården in Stockholm and discusses the observers interpretation of the art in the station. When the artist Ulrik Samuelson got his commission to shape the station he was influenced by Marcel Duchamp and the concept art. Two themes were integrated in the work of art, the actual culture life and the palace called Makalös, which was situated just above the currant station, three hundred years ago. The station was built in two stages.The first part was opened in 1977 and the second part in 1987. Panofsky´s iconographic working method has been used in this essay.

Permanent identitetsmärkning måste utföras på hundar, men är ej obligatorisk på katter. Hundars ägare måste dessutom enligt lag registreras hos Jordbruksverket, men många väljer att också registrera ägarskapet i andra register, vilket ökar möjligheterna för att en bortsprungen hund ska kunna återförenas med sin ägare. Detta arbete beskriver hur märkning med mikrochip och tångmärkning går till. Mikrochipmärkning får göras av den som genomgått en särskild utbildning, men tångmärkning måste göras av djursjukvårdspersonal. Vidare nämns också de största registren för hund och katt i Sverige.

The purpose of this project was to produce signal relay stations that could receive information via 2.4 GHz radio and relay the information to a designated target station. If a relay station was located outside of signal range for the target station it was supposed to utilize other relay stations to transfer the information to the target station, so called multi-hop.The would-be application of the relay stations was orienteering. When an orienteer punches a checkpoint the signal stations would relay information of who punched the control, when it was punched and the checkpoint that was punched to the speaker tower in the goal area.The work resulted in prototypes which fulfilled the statement of purpose and was tested at an orienteering competition with satisfactory results. The performance of the prototypes was tested and found adequate for the would-be application..

The German equine housing system, HIT Active Stable?, are adjusted for keeping horses in groups, and are well establishes in Germany. Now the system attracts attention here in Sweden.
