The design process of an interaction design student is mostly collaborative and computer oriented. Based on this, it?s hard to believe that we have not yet found a tool that will facilitate our needs. With this in mind, which elements do we need to promote collaboration in a virtual design process? This thesis will include design processes, collaboration, creativity and virtual awareness, amongst others.

This master thesis covers the development of an automatic tuning process for the existing speed controller for drive systems. The drive systems are resonant two-mass systems where a motor is used to drive a load connected by a shaft. The developed method relies heavily on system identification and the construction of a complete mechanical model of the process. With this approach, the common problem with poor load speed control that derives from measuring only the motor speed can be addressed and solved for a majority of such processes.The automatic tuning method has along with general test functions been implemented in a complete tool for automatic tuning, testing and performance evaluation and reporting for drive systems..

Background: ?Transitional care? is a new form of care in the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) in Sweden. The level of care, between outpatient and inpatient, has been developed to meet children/adolescents and their families in a different way than in the traditional outpatient and inpatient treatment. The contact offered can be intense with frequent contact and also with more time set aside for every occasion. The nurse, who is one of the categories of personnel involved in the multidisciplinary team works largely in other contexts than in the therapy room at the clinic or on the ward.

Bakgrund: Bröstcancer är den vanligaste dödsorsaken globalt gällande kvinnor. Att leva med en bröstcancersjukdom kan innebära mycket svåra lidanden. Många av kvinnorna får stora vårdbehov och där kan vårdpersonalen ibland orsaka vårdlidande utan att vara medvetna om problemet. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att beskriva vårdlidande för kvinnor med en bröstcancer sjukdom Metod: Studien utfördes som en litteraturstudie med sju kvalitativa artiklar. Författarna identifierade olika mönster och kategorier i artiklarna.

Titel: Tre Dimensioner av Benchmarking ? En Studie inom SMEs i Gävleborg.Nivå: C-uppsats i ämnet företagsekonomiFörfattare: Jenny Jonsson, Cecilia KarmanHandledare: Tomas Källquist, Stig SörlingDatum: 2015 ? juniSyfte: Tidigare forskning menar att SMEs inte använder sig av benchmarking. Vi ställer oss frågande till detta och menar att benchmarking kan användas på olika sätt, något som tidigare forskning förbisett. Vårt syfte är därmed att belysa hur benchmarking används inom SMEs, med utgångspunkt i de tre dimensionerna process, struktur och idé.Metod: Utifrån vårt hermeneutiska synsätt har vi utfört en kvalitativ fallstudie med semistrukturerade intervjuer, där respondenterna var ifrån tio olika små och medelstora företag (SMEs) i Gävleborg. Därefter jämförde vi det empiriska materialet med den teoretiska referensramen för att kunna utföra vår analys och finna vårt bidrag.Resultat & Slutsats: Enligt vår studie använder sig SMEs, till skillnad från vad tidigare forskning påstår, i stor utsträckning av benchmarking.

This essay is about the development process I have undergone during my experience-based preschool teacher education. I write about my internal process, about how I as a childcare worker go from assertiveness and believing in myself into fighting doubts, thoughts and feelings as a preschool teacher. The purpose with this essay is to make the difficulties with managing new knowledge and practicing it in real life visible, and at the same time overcome your uncertainty in a new professional role. The essay is based on two stories from my professional life where I, in the first one portray my actions and behavior as a childcare worker and in the second one as a preschool teacher. Based on my stories I try to answer questions as what does the individual learning process look like when going from one professional role to another in the same profession? What impact does theoretical knowledge have on practical knowledge?I have used reflection and writing as methods for my paper.

This thesis deals with subject-based hierarchical search-services on the World Wide Web. The purpose is to investigate how systems of this kind facilitate information retrieval through subject-based information seeking. Its starting point is taken from the study of texts and qualitative analyses of search-services on the World Wide Web. Important aspects and features of the Internet and the World Wide Web are explained as well. Three systems are examined: Mölndals Stadsbiblioteks Länkkatalog, Svesök, and Alta Vista.

This Bachelor Thesis in the area of Computer Science and Work Science describes the process of design and development of an IT-tool between the municipality of Ron-neby and TietoEnator a development and consultancy firm, the Gothenburg office. The thesis focuses mainly on the cooperation between the consultant designer and the local municipal. Through cooperation, the organisation is incorporated into the tool and the tool is incorporated into the organisation. Concepts that are central in this thesis are design, cooperation and tailoring. A question raised is, if distance work and extensive cooperation might be a good way of working in the process of design and development, when the organisation is being incorporated into the tool.

Rese- och turistindustrin är en av världens mest expansiva näringar. Även upplevelseindustrinär på stark tillväxt. Det kan tyckas att nöjesparken Gröna Lund borde gynnas av detta, menunder de senaste sju åren har antalet besökare till Gröna Lund minskat. Med tanke på denkraftiga ökningen i turistindustrin vore det lönsamt för Gröna Lund att göra en medveten satsningpå att locka fler turister att besöka nöjesparken.Det första steget för Gröna Lund, om de vill locka dit fler inresande turister, är att se över sittsätt att nå ut till turisterna. En viktig del i detta arbete är att få insikt i hur de inresande turisternasöker information om sevärdheter, det vill säga hur deras process för informationssökningfungerar, och därefter arbeta för att anpassa Gröna Lunds marknadsföring utifrån detta.Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka inresande Stockholmsturisters process för informationssökning.Utifrån denna har vi sedan givit förslag på hur Gröna Lund bör anpassa sinmarknadsföring för att överensstämma med denna sökprocess och därmed nå ut till fler inresandeStockholmsturister.Vi har satt samman en modell över turisternas process för informationssökning utifrån modellerskapade av Blackwell, Miniard och Engel samt Gursoy och McCleary.

The purpose with this study was to elucidate the pros and the cons with a sale support system. This has been narrowed down into two questions: ?What are the pros and cons for a company that have a sale support system? and what are the pros and cons for a company that does not yet have a system?? Configurator that is a sale support system has been studied. It is a system that presents products by accepting different functions, qualities or parts that are possible to match. It can be used in business-to-business or business-to-consumer situations, through different sale channels, namely direct sale, indirect sale and online sale.

AbstractThis master thesis was performed at Scania transmission department in Södertälje, where the manufacturing of gears is done. Today a large amount of manual handling is performed between the machining and the hardening process. Most of the manual handling is done at the heat treatment department. The purpose of this master thesis is to give a suggestion on how to reduce or eliminate the manual handling at the heat treatment department. The possibility to use the same packaging throughout the processes will also be investigated.

Syftet med denna studie var att belysa kvinnors upplevelser av att leva med och vårdas för bröstcancer. En litteraturstudie har använts och självbiografier har analyserats för att få en kvalitativ ansats. Analysen resulterade i fem kategorier vilka representerar de erfarenheter som framkom bland kvinnorna.

In this project the focus has been on the system for recombination at Oskarshamn 2. The recombining systems have on several occasions switched paths due to low pressure before the last ejector that?s feeding the recombiner. Of the mentioned reason, events and several measuring points have been analyzed in this report since the installation of the recombining systems.In order to prove theories and demonstrate what may be the cause of this problem, we used heat balance calculations by the program Probera. Using the program, we can demonstrate that the catalytic process does not reach the desired temperature with the amount of combustible substance.
