Detta experiment hade två syften, dels att undersöka skillnader i situationsmedvetenhet och prestation mellan officerare och studenter i en simulerad värld, dels undersöka hur två olika sätt att mäta situationsmedvetenheten samvarierar. Simulatorn som användes var det kommersiella spele t"Delta Force 2" där ett eget scenario byggdes. För att mäta situationsmedvetenheten användes två metoder, SAGAT-metoden och Cooper-Harper- metoden. SAGAT-metoden innebär att man bryter simuleringen och försökspersonen får svara på frågor som rör var de är, vad som händer och vad som kommer att hända. Denna metod mäter situationsmedvetenheten objektivt till skillnad från Cooper-Harper som mäter situationsmedvetenheten subjektivt, försökspersonen får efter experimentets slut skatta sin egen uppfattade situationsmedvetenhet.

The purpose of this study is to investigate how the process and result of renovations in socioeconomic vulnerable areas affect the residents' right to housing; with a focus on women's experiences of their homes, their area, the housing company's apartment renovations. The study is conducted through two research questions: How do the women in L?vg?rdet experience their homes and the area? And how do the women in L?vg?rdet experience the process and the result of the renovations of the rental apartments? The methodology used is qualitative research interviews. The empirical material was gathered through qualitative interviews. Eight women living in L?vg?rdet have been interviewed.

rePULSE är en ny träningsmetod för personer som har problem med att kontrollera sina impulser, inte bara aggression och ilska utan även nedstämdhet, social fobi, depression och missbruk med mera. Bakom rePULSE står Gunilla Dobrin. Det praktiska genomförandet av själva kursen följer de principer som finns i den kognitiva terapin där man arbetar med att hitta de negativa tankar som dyker upp och påverkar personen i fråga. Utgångspunkten för metoden är ART, Aggression Replacement Training, men till skillnad från ART som är en form av gruppterapi är rePULSE ett individuellt program. ARTs grundare Arnold P.

The forests of Sweden are constantly changing. Map studies indicate that the amount of deciduous trees in Sweden has decreased in recent years in favor of the coniferous trees. The National Forest Inventory has since the early 1920s monitored the Swedish forests and in recent years has made the old data digitally available. In the present project, we have investigated how the numbers of stems in different diameter classes have changed for birch and other deciduous trees. The inventory was conducted in the same manner as in the first forest inventory.

The Arctic region has not been a topic of discussion or a reason for a conflict in the past, but with the development of environmental issues which has resulted in melting of the ice, so has the interest for the region developed. This has resulted in a conflict over the area, with five countries as main actors. This paper investigates the five main actors? goals with increased influence in the area, using the thoughts of Rational Actor Model, with states as utility-maximizing actors and foreign policy as the expression of national interest. Furthermore the paper investigates the means of getting to the goal, what kind of tools they use.The paper shows that all of the countries are interested in the economically benefits that are buried under the melting ice and the short cuts in sea routes that will be a possibility to use ones the ice melt more.

Motiverande samtal är en pedagogisk metod som frekvent förekommer på Sveriges HVB. Det finns tidigare forskning som pekar på att metoden fungerar bra vid de flesta beteendeförändringar. Utövare har erfarenheter av att metoden fungerar bra i många sammanhang men också att metoden ibland kan ha brister. Denna studie syftar till att undersöka utövares upplevelser och erfarenheter av motiverande samtal (MI). Studien undersöker på vilket sätt MI kan vara ett stöd för patienten och vilka svårigheter det finns med metoden.

The purpose of this essay is to analyse how medial representations in a specific cultural debate expresses thoughts about gender, power and speech. The debate in question took place in Sweden 2010 and was about an inspection of sexual harassments in the Swedish acting area, made by Sveriges Radio, Ekot. This essay examines the made representations of the debate, with a feministic point of view and concludes that a male gaze shapes the form of speech and gives the debate a discourse sort of reasoning about gender. The special discourse formatted in the examined area contains a certain conception of power and the structure of power, which is also explained by the male gaze and the meaning of post-feminism..

This study aims to analyze the risks with building new households between railroads and shore, the focus of the study lays on Öbacka strand in Umeå municipality. The study also investigate if a land use conflict has taken place and how it was handled.The paper is based on different documents that was central for the work of planning the households and some interviews with operators that was highly involved with the planning of the area.The results shows that there is several risks with establishing new household between railroads and shores. Mainly because of the exposure of noise from the railways, though the risk for impact on the living environment for animals were low in this case there is a generally risk that it could get negative effects. It also a very important that the availability to the shore is secured. Planning in this type of area involves a great number of operators can easily cause a conflict due to the different perspectives on how the land should be used in the future, and also because of protecting different interests.

Investment aid is a part of the Rural Area Programme, which contains support to Swedish agriculture and the countryside. There is a new programme every seventh year and SLU (Swedish University of Agriculture) has the mission to perform the evaluation of the previous programme, which lasted between 2000 -2006. The investment aid's aim is to support investments that, among other things, support the adaptation or conversion to more environmentally friendly production methods, improves the product quality, develops new or complementing activities, and improves the environment and the animal- and working environment. The question is if it's only money that matters for these kinds of investments to be done and what has happened with the money that was paid? This thesis investigates how the investment aid has affected the receivers.

Disturbances, such as fire and wind, are important for saproxylic beetles (= beetles depending on decaying wood) to gain substrate in boreal forests. Clear-cutting is an example of a man-made disturbance. Measures such as prescribed burning have been made to resemble natural disturbances. The aim of this study was to see which clear-cut characteristics are important for the occurrence of the saproxylic beetle Upis ceramboides. This is a species favored by open habitats and is said to respond positively to forest fires. The distribution area in Sweden for this species has decreased during the last two centuries and I wanted to see if there were differences between clear-cuts in Hälsingland, where it is very rare and decreasing, and Norrbotten where this study was conducted.

A substantial part of the Swedish outdoor education is being practiced in so called ?school forests?. The concept school forest was first introduced in the 1980?s by the organization Skogen i Skolan. The definition of a school forest is an area that is being used for educational purposes, over which the school and the land owner has reached an agreement of how the school may utilize it.

Today more effective computer programs are in use, regarding design of geotechnicalconstructions. There is a risk that the theoretical background of the computerprograms, its limitations and the signification of the choice of soil parameter isforgotten when the computer programs become more user-friendly.This Master thesis deals with simulation and analysis regarding three computerprograms, FEM-design, with the addition Raft, Plaxis and BE-slab. Comparisons aremade for settlement and maximum moment in a concrete-plate. FEM-design is a threedimensional FEM-program, foremost created for design engineers. Plaxis is a twodimensional FEM-program, intended for geotechnical engineers while BE-Slab is aBoundary elements program in two dimensions that is mainly used by designengineers.

Syftet med denna undersökning är att studera varför två olika skolor har valt att arbeta med Tragetons metod ?Att skriva sig till läsning?, samt varför man inte valt Tragetons metod på en annan skola. Andra frågeställningar inom området har varit: Hur arbetar man med metoden?Vad anser skolorna att datorerna, och samarbetet vid dem, kan ge eleverna? För att studera detta har jag intervjuat fem lärare/förskollärare på de aktuella skolorna, men också en rektor och en speciallärare som påverkat valet av läs- och skrivinlärningsmetod. Resultatet visar att tillgången till datorer kan styra valet av Trageton-metoden, men ofta påverkar pedagogernas erfarenhet och arbetslagets inställning ännu mer.

Nearly 50 years after the building of the first million programme neighbourhoods many Swedish municipalities faces an extensive restoration work in these neighbourhoods which during their relatively short lifetime have acted as a target for a large amount of criticism. Öster in Gävle is a million programme neighbourhood that has gone through an extensive restoration between 2001-2009 with the aim of improving the living environment. Improvements have been made in the outdoor environment, to the facades of the houses and the entrances? of each building. The purpose of this study has been to investigate the effects of the renewal in the physical outdoor environment for those who live in the neighbourhood.

The main purpose of this project was to make a survey of the steam and electricity consumption at Akzo Nobel Functional Chemistry AB and give suggestions of how to minimize them. These three different areas were focused on. First to make a survey of all the most important consumers, second to find the electricity consumption of the air compressors and the amount of waste heat produced from them. The third area was to calculate a model of how much fresh water that is used during a cooling sequence in the water based heating/cooling system of the reactors and give a suggestion of a suitable reuse for this water.The main result is a total survey of the energy consumption in steam and electricity. The survey shows that the second largest group after drying is heating of ventilation which gives big potentials of reducing the total steam consumption if there is a way of being self supporting in ventilation heat.
