The aim of this thesis is to investigate how librarians view marketing of the library using social media and how this can be used in a marketing strategy. The theoretical framework for this thesis is based on the 7 Ps of the marketing mix, SWOT-analysis and SWOT/TOWS Matrix. The theory is based on planned elements that make up a product or service offered the market. We have used our own interpretation of the theories to analyse our material. Our main method has been a web-based questionnaire, the questionnaire was sent to 523 librarians active at ten large public libraries and its related branches.

The purpose of this thesis has been to develop a tool for modelling and simulating the nuclear plant Ringhals 3. The model should be used to improve the knowledge on the dynamics of the plant. Ringhals 3 is being upgraded to produce more power and a tool for analyzing the new operating conditions is needed.The work in this thesis has consisted of improving and developing an existing model of Ringhals 3 made with the modelling tool Dymola. The model has been validated by comparing the results of a simulated house load transient with data from the actual plant. Validation shows good agreement with data from the real plant.

Titel: Barn av sin tid och klass: En kvantitativ studie om generations- och klasstillhörighetens betydelse för vår nyhetskonsumtion Författare: Stina Bergdal & Evelina Olsson Kurs, termin och år: C-uppsats, HT-2014 Antal ord i uppsatsen: 18 949 Problemformulering och syfte: Syftet med studien är att analysera vilken betydelse klass och generation har för nyhetskonsumtion. Att undersöka betydelsen av dessa två strukturer är viktigt då vi trots dagens individsamhälle påverkas av vår omgivning när det gäller vår nyhetskonsumtion. Metod och material: Metoden som används är surveyundersökningar. Materialet som används i denna undersökning består av den nationella SOM-undersökningen från 2012. Huvudresultat: Generation och klass är båda strukturer som påverkar vår konsumtion av nyheter. Men effekten av de olika strukturernas påverkan är olika och vi påverkas i högre grad av vår generationstillhörighet än vår klasstillhörighet. Det vill säga den tid, samhällsklimat och den tekniska utvecklig vi växer upp i formar oss inte bara som människor utan även som nyhetskonsumenter.

This thesis has been carried out in autumn 2009 at Uppsala University for Boliden Mineral AB. Physical modelling has been used to model a comminution circuit. The model has then been linked to a PLC.When a concentrator is about to become operational Boliden Mineral AB have been looking for a way to test the PLC. The purpose of this report has therefore been to develop models for the subprocess in a concentrator and link these models to the PLC. The subprocess was a comminution circuit in Aitik36.

There is no commonly accepted definition of a business method. It ought to consist of a method or a process of doing business. Business methods constitutes a broad category of patents, it is hard to tell exactly what can be interpreted in to the term. Most of the world's legal systems have made an exception from patentability for business methods. In the USA the exception was abolished in a case 1998.

Varifrån kommer föreställningar om vad som är rätt eller fel, normalt eller onormalt? Hur har de uppstått och hur upprätthålls de? Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att undersöka hur sådana föreställningar kan uppstå och upprätthållas och att undersöka vilka sorts aktörer som är med i den processen samt hur de agerar och vad det bär med sig? Varifrån kommer till exempel föreställningarna om hur man ska bete sig för att uppfattas som en "normal" man eller kvinna? Vad händer när någon avviker från dessa normer och föreställningar?Jag har i min litteraturstudie funnit flera olika teoretiska perspektiv som är knutna till det vida begreppet kultur. Jag har närläst undersökningar där man kan studera hur norm, ideal och avvikelse, både i teorin och i praktiken, genererar normativa identiteter.De resultat jag har sett är att det görs skillnad på pojkar och flickor redan när barnen går på dagis. Denna åtskillnad att tjejer bland annat inte får ta för stor plats i det offentliga rummet eller höras för mycket eller att pojkar inte får bli för "lipiga" tar sin början innan barnen har en möjlighet att ta ställning till begreppen man eller kvinna. Både uppsatsen och gestaltningsarbetet fokuserar på strukturer som skapar och upprätthåller normativa eller "normala" identiteter.Mitt gestaltningsarbete består av en animerad film och kan ses som en parafras över bröderna Andy och Larry Wachowskis filmThe Matrix från 1999.

Bakgrund/Problem: I samband med generationsskiftet på arbetsmarknaden uppstår frågan hur arbetsgivarna ur ett rent strategiskt perspektiv kan ta ställning till Generation Y (födda under andra halvan av sjuttiotalet fram till ca år 2000) i arbetslivet. Generation Y verkar nämligen ha en förändrad syn jämfört med äldre generationer när det gäller hur man ser på arbetets roll i livet. Företagen måste börja uppmärksamma dessa förändrade värderingar för att genom sitt Employer Brand kunna locka till sig den yngre generationen på bästa sätt.Syfte: I denna uppsats presenterar jag sociologiska teorier och empiriska fakta om generationer, för att försöka se vilken betydelse generationstillhörigheten kan ha för organisationers Employer Branding. På detta sätt vill jag utveckla och föra fram ett tankesätt som grundar sig i en genera-tionssociologisk analys av fenomenet.Material: Mitt material kommer huvudsakligen från forskningsstudier, forskningsartiklar, littera-tur, medier och från teorier av sociologerna Hans Zetterberg, Ronald Inglehart och Karl Mann-heim.Slutsats: Generationstillhörigheten verkar ha en stor betydelse för företagens Employer Branding. Det finns idag en större fokus på fritid och person framför arbete.

The objective of this diploma work is to investigate a set of Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) channel models compatible with the emerging IEEE 802.11n standard. This diploma work validates also advanced, innovative tools and wireless technologies that are necessary to facilitate wireless applications while maximizing spectral efficiency and throughput. MIMO channel models can be used to evaluate new Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) proposals based on multiple antenna technologies. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate means of channel models and their implementation in different environments such as: Matlab, C++ and Advanced Design Systems (ADS). The investigation considers also a comparison between the channel models based on theoretical data and parameter setup to the channel models based on statistical characteristics obtained from measured data.

This study investigates whether the permanent measurement bias (PMB) has changed over time for Swedish companies listed on the Stockholm Stock exchange at least one year during 1996-2000 or 2005-2010. By using the Residual Income Valuation-model the markets' implicit value on PMB is generated through reversed engineering, as values for all variables except PMB are entered such as the market perceived them at the specific valuation date each year. This implicit value is classified into industries and then sorted by their median. Statistical tests are performed to see if there is a difference between the industry median and the accounting-based values on PMB. The difference from period one to period two is also statistically tested for.The study finds that the implicit values on PMB have changed somewhat between the periods; however the fluctuations are not statistically significant.

Background: Today small business firms represent a considerable part of swedish economy, and the number of small firms has steadily increased the last ten years in relation to the total employment. The fact that there are firms willing to grow, it ought to be interesting observing their motives of growth, and what kind of strategies that can be identifiable in these firms. Purpose: To examine the motives of growth in small business firms, and to study which growth strategies the firms use when expanding their business. Realization: The study is accomplished through telephone interviews with six small business firms in the province of Jönköping. The firms contain between 10-49 employees.

Companies today are exposed to a turbulent market with fierce competition and the ability toinnovate itself becomes increasingly important. But what innovation is and how it is managed is farfrom obvious. In this case study at EVRY the research questions are: ?What is innovation in ITconsultant companies?? and ?how can innovation be managed in IT consultant companies?? ITconsultancy is a complex type of business and their focus is often to innovate the customers businessrather than their own. The study is based on a literature review, field studies, unstructuredinterviews and an interpretive analysis.
