Quality is the key to a well executed product or service. The construction industry hasn?t highlighted the quality in recent times which have contributed to the construction industry receiving much criticism in the field. The public sees it as an offhanded industry where errors and delays are common.The reason for this is considered to be primarily the lack of time, constant pressure to reduce costs and skills and the ability to communicate between the parties about what the correct quality really means. The industry has begun to realize that it must start setting clearer standards and that there are great opportunities for improvement.This report will give Peab an opportunity to develop their quality work.

Denna uppsats behandlar design av mobila tjänster från ett användbarhetsperspektiv i en turismkontext. Studien hade flera syften, där det teoretiska bidraget var att ta fram ett teoretiskt ramverk för design av mobila tjänster. Detta ramverk innehåller bland annat begreppen kontext, informationspresentation och navigering. Det praktiska bidraget var att skapa en prototyp, utifrån det teoretiska ramverket, av en mobil turisttjänst som sedan utvärderades. Studien innehöll tre faser, den första var en litteraturstudie som resulterade i det teoretiska ramverket.

AimThe aim of the study was to develop a method for the survey of play movement demands and temporal patterns in order to enable a descriptive study of the defensive players in American Football. The overall aim was to  improve the understanding of how American Football is played to create opportunities for enhancement of current or developing new training methods to better suit football.MethodFifty plays from a Division 3 college football game on video from 2005 was divided into sequences of action for one player each from the defensive line, linebackers and defensive backs and analyzed with the video analyzing software cSwing. Every players sequence of action was recorded in a spreadsheet and noted on a scaled football field where distances were measured and together with time stamps from cSwing velocity was calculated.ResultsUsing this method it was possible to describe the play movement demands and temporal patterns which was the main task of the study. The defensive end worked on an average 4.61 seconds per play, the distance was 12.4 meters and average speed 2.5 m×s-1. The linebacker worked on an average 4.35 s per play, 13.7 m and at a mean speed of 3.0 m×s-1.

This essay examines the narrative aspect of interactive fiction. The study uses Janet H. Murrays analysis of the digital environment and the properties of it as procedural, participatory, spatial and encyclopedic. From this, her three characteristic pleasures in digital narratives - immersion, agency and transformation - are examined from the perspective of interactive fiction. The study also examines Nick Montforts analysis of interactive fiction as a potential narrative and a simulated world or environment.

Denna rapport riktar sig mot utvecklare och teknisk kunniga personer. Arbetet är avsett att ge insikt i smartTV världen och även dela med sig av de erfarenheter vi har fått lära oss. Vi fick i uppdrag från Eniro att skapa en smartTV applikation som använde sig av deras tjäns-ter, utmaningen var stor och området okänt. Vi använde oss utav agila metoder för att ut-veckla smartTV applikationen. Det var två av oss som par programmerade och ledde pro-jektet.

Den 22 juli 2011 utförde Anders Behring Breivik det värsta terrorattentatet i Norge i modern tid. Svenska medier valde att lägga alla sina resurser på att bevaka katastrofen i grannlandet. I denna uppsats undersöker vi hur SVT, SR och TV4 arbetade med bevakningen. Studien som behandlar nyhetsbevakningens första dygn, går in på vilka etiska, praktiska och källkritiska problem som respektive kanals nyhetsredaktioner ställdes inför (inklusive webben). Vi tar även upp hur arbetet och bemanningen organiserades.

The competition in sports equipment and sports fashion today is fierce. And as e-commerce grows, the competing players has to remain accessible and usable regard-less of the device their customers visit the website on. Stadium is Swedens biggest player on the market and puts a lot of effort on their online activity. Something Stadium found interesting was the possibility of introducing elements that would increase the conversion rates directly into the product menu. This study explores the possibility to find a responsive solution for the product menu at Stadiums? e-commerce website which could contribute to increased conversion rates.The study is built upon an experiment and the foundations of the experiment is based upon a market analysis of used design patterns for product navigation in the domain of sport resellers.

Under två månader, februari - april 2009, har jag haft praktikplats på ett produktionsbolag i Göteborg. Jag har gjort praktik samtidigt som jag har genomfört en etnografisk studie av medarbetarna på företaget. Arbetet har företrädesvis varit att skapa grafiskt material för reklamfilm. På min praktikplats har jag arbetat med grafiskt material. Jag har framför allt fått arbeta med programmet Maya (Autodesk Maya 2009) men också med andra programvaror som Nuke (The Foundry) och Photoshop (adobe). Arbetet har inneburit att arbeta med Maya och skapa 3D-objekt men även att göra saker som att rotoscopa i Nuke.

I takt med stigande energipriser finner fler och fler det lönsamt att installera värmepump för att reducera sitt energibehov. Värmepumpar har dock svårigheter att tillgodose värmebehovet när utomhustemperaturen sjunker under -10°C. Detta problem kan minskas med så kallade economizerkopplingar, denna rapport jämför de båda economizersystemen flash tank cycle (FTC) och internal heat exchanger cycle (IHXC). Eftersom det har visat sig att vinsterna med economizerkopplingar är som störst då temperaturlyftet är stort är det mest intressant att jämföra dem i luft/vatten värmepumpar. Detta på grund av att övriga applikationer som berg-, jord- eller luft/luft-värmepumpar inte utsätts för samma stora temperaturvariation då utetemperaturen faller.

This quality study was carried out with seven semi-structured interviews and five of them were with elite women´s football coaches. What has been studied is how elite women?s football coaches are working with injury prevention training to their knees for the women?s football players. An anterior cruciate ligament injury in elite women?s football is both common and serious knee injury.

Background: The board of directors is a key player in corporate governance. Their role is to ensure that the corporations are run with the interest of the shareholders as the main focus. In the beginning of the 21st century, a survey was made about the confidence of the Swedish business community and in which criticism was directed to the board of directors. The boards were deemed inadequate in their function and were often solely composed by members with similar experiences and competence, therefore lacking in diversity. In order to improve the competence and work of the board of directors, the Swedish code of corporate governance was introduced and its recommendations comprehend the boards? size and composition.

Full-field flash electroretinography is an electrodiagnostic method used to examine the function of retinal cells. Light stimulation of the eye elicits electrical potentials in the retina. By aid of a corneal electrode and a reference electrode close to the back of the eye, the electrical potentials can be recorded and presented as an electroretinogram (ERG). ERGs driven by mainly one type of cones can be used to examine the function of a single cone class. In human beings, studies have shown the cone class sensitive to light of short wavelengths, the S-cones, to be more vulnerable to acquired damage than the other cone classes (Daley et al., 1987; Gouras et al., 1993; Greenstein et al., 1989). Dogs have two cone classes, S-cones, and M/L-cones (most sensitive to medium to long wavelengths).

The main objective of this essay is to examine how the identities of young people are influenced by their choice of an individual sport or a team sport.The following questions are the focus of the essay:? How does the sport influence the creation of an identity for active young people?? How will the choice of an individual sport or a team sport affect the development of an identity in young people who practises sport?To achieve the objective of this essay I have used a qualitative research approach. The empirical material has been collected with help of eight semi-structured interviews. Four of them were held with young people who practised swimming and the other four with young people who played soccer. The essay is structured from Derek Layders model regarding how to understand the social reality.

SammanfattningDen här rapporten beskriver arbetet att ta fram försöksmaterial i form av 3D-modeller med tillhörande animationer till det Internetbaserade rådgivningsverktyget för läkemedelsprodukter AssistansPlus*. Utöver detta ger rapporten en inblick i hur framtagning av 3D-medierat material för Internet, inom området rådgivning och presentation, kan se ut generellt.Viktigt att tänka på vid arbetet med modeller och animationer till AssistansPlus är att de måste anpassas till W3D formatet, som 3D spelaren i verktyget är utvecklad i. De viktigaste var här att veta vad som följde med vid en export till formatet W3D (animerandet måste ske på ett relativt analogt sett, vissa bildformat för texturerna fungerar bättre än andra etc.). Rapporten innehåller en checklista som ska fungera som en guide vid framtida framtagning av material till verktyget. Filstorlek är av stor vikt i arbete med 3D för Internet och var därför en viktig del också i uppdraget.Att begränsa filernas storlek genom att använda så få ytor som möjligt, genom att stiliseramodellerna och genom att göra texturer så bra som möjligt i förhållande till filstorleken, var viktiga delar arbetet.
