The purpose of my study is using a narrative approach from a student perspective through the feelings that show the cultural encounters of immigrant students with the Swedish school. I want through my study have an understanding of how students are affected in their interaction with the Swedish culture. I also want to analyze and understand their feelings and experiences. Are emotions negative or positive? My theoretical framework includes the following concepts: Emotions, treatment, ethnicity, identity and code-switching.An important element of my study is to understand students' emotional experiences.

This thesis project has focused on studying ÅF?s business concept Energy Collaboration, which is their way of selling energy efficiency services. Thereforeongoing projects have been analyzed. The purpose was to determine achieved energy efficiency, costs and profitability for the studied projects. It was concluded that the Energy Collaboration is a good way of selling energy efficiency services, since the customer takes no risk and energy savings of about 15-25 % can be achieved with simple measures.

The environmental work in Sweden has developed a lot over the past fifty years. Today, most companies have some kind of environmental work. Environmental activities are regulated by the Environmental Code, which applies in parallel with other laws. This report is an environmental review for Bräcke Diakoni. The report aims to find out how much environmental impact Bräcke Diakoni has.

Linux is a growing operating system in embedded systems. Today, Linux is not only in heavy servers but also in cell phones, PDAs, cameras and other devices running on battery power. While current technology is more energy efficient, more and more technologies are implemented into a single unit resulting in an overall increase of power consumption.Low power consumption is an increasingly important feature of a system today. Lower power consumption means lower costs, less environmental impact, and longer life for applications that runs on batteries.This work compiles methods to reduce power consumption of Linux systems. The work includes examining whether the available opportunities are platform-specific or of a more general nature.

Sweden is getting an aging population and with this comes an increase in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer?s disease (AD). Bilingualism is also on the rise and this may result in an increase of bilingual people suffering from AD. Due to the linguistic deterioration associated with the illness people with AD, bilingual and monolingual, will be an increasing patient group with speech and language pathologists (SLPs). Word retrieval difficulty is an early symptom of the disease and several strategies to compensate for this have been observed (e.g.

Den spruckna bergmassans mekaniska beteende påverkas i hög grad av diskontinuiteterna. Slutna lösningar är generellt mycket sällsynta, åtminstone för komplicerade problem och numeriska analyser måste därför användas. Tvådimensionella konceptuella numeriska analyser har använts för att studera spänningsberoendet hos bergmassans styvhet samt bergkilars stabilitet för olika sprickgeometrier. Flera olika numeriska analyser utfördes med hjälp av UDEC (Universal Distinct Element Code) med två olika angreppssätt, ?Metod 1? och ?Metod 2?.

This is a study of proficiency development of major/lt colonel officers (level 2-3) within the Swedish armed forces. The study includes officers above the age of 45. The background of this study is a study from January 2000 (written by Björn Osswald). Osswald discovered that proficiency development decreased at the age of 45. Since the profession as an officer today is a lifetime profession, this is a result that the Swedish Armed Forces not can afford.

I Västerbotten pågår ett bok- och berättarprojekt som heter Give me five. Det är initierat av biblioteken och vänder sig till alla femåringar och deras vuxna, framförallt i förskolorna. I Skellefteå kommun pågår sedan 2007 ett projekt som heter Sagostafetten, och det har varit inspirationgivande för det länsövergripande projektet Give me five som startade 2011. Den här utvärderingen har tittat på projektets verksamhet i Skellefteå kommun.Syftet med utvärderingen var att undersöka hur projektets mål uppnås men även ta reda på hur bibliotekarierna upplever att projektet fungerar och genom dem även se vad barnen upplever och får för erfarenheter. Utvärderingen har gjorts med hjälp av semistrukturerade kvalitativa intervjuer med fyra bibliotekarier som arbetat med projektet sedan start.

Modern semiconductor design methods makes it possible to design increasingly complex system-on-a-chips (SOCs). Testing such SOCs becomes highly expensive due to the rapidly increasing test data volumes with longer test times as a result. Several approaches exist to compress the test stimuli and where hardware is added for decompression. This master?s thesis presents a test data compression method based on a modified facsimile code.

Oilseed rape constitutes a good break crop within a cereal dominated cropping system. The normal sowing time for winter rape in Sweden is August. It's a time in the cropping year characterized by a heavy work load, such as harvest and soil management. In addition, it is often a period with large precipitation. Thus, it is sometimes problematic for the farmer to do the sowing of winter rape at the optimal time.

BAKGRUND: Omvårdnad skall bedrivas holistiskt enligt International code of etics (ICN) trots detta bedrivs den till viss del naturvetenskapligt med fokus på den medicinska delen, som i sig är viktig. Tydliga riktlinjer för andlig omvårdnad saknas och forskningen är begränsad. SYFTE: Syftet med denna studie var att utifrån aktuell omvårdnadsforskning beskriva faktorer som påverkar sjuksköterskors bemötande av frågor med existentiellt innehåll. METOD: Systematiskt litteraturstudie där sju artiklar och en avhandling ingick vilka var etiskt granskade. RESULTAT: Fyra kategorier identifierades, adekvat kompetens, tillåtande vårdmiljö, holistisk människosyn och reduktionistisk människosyn.

This study draws from Zygmunt Bauman´s theory that a governmental policy of values can reduce the personal responsibility and moral choices for employees, to focus only on maintaining the government?s internal rules and regulations. The apparent risk with this type of moral attenuation is that the employee is deprived of the possibility to react morally on conduct of the government?s external misuse of power. In this study, this theory is connected to the Swedish Armed Forces? policy of values, as these values do not include a critical standpoint for officers and soldiers.

The role of the professional photographer is ever changing. The changes take place as the Swedish media industry itself, due to fluctuations in the economy, is forced to change. As the demand for printed news wane, the advertisers seek out other media and free newsprint & the internet take over large portions of the market, the newspaper industry is forced to cut issues and make drastic changes to stay in business. This changes directly affects the way news bureaus are organised and inevitably changes the working conditions of their employees. The two competing newspapers ?Arbetarbladet? and Gefle Dagblad? in the Gävle district were affected by this kind of change in quite a unique way.

Olsson, Per-Henning: Petterssons sjunde symfoni. En jämförelse mellan formen i Allan Petterssons Symfoni nr 7 och Gustav Mahlers Symfoni nr 9, sats I. D-uppsats i musikvetenskap, ht 2001. Institutionen för musikvetenskap, Uppsala universitet.Uppsatsen syftar till att belysa Allan Petterssons symfonikomponerande, med avseende på form. Detta görs genom en jämförelse mellan Pettersson och Gustav Mahler.

I samband med andra världskrigets start 1939, utvecklades kemiska ämnen för ogräs- och bekämpningsmedel. Numera påträffas de i de flesta floder, grundvatten och i majoriteten av alla mänskliga varelser. Detta har medfört att allt fler krav ställts på omgivningen. Miljöredovisningen föddes i slutet av 1960-talet och själva startskottet för miljöredovisning skedde i samband med Brundtlandrapporten 1987. Inom kaffebranschen har det länge stått stilla när det gäller arbets- och miljöfrågor. Det tog fart när stora aktörer på marknaden, däribland Löfbergs Lila, startade Common Code for the Coffee Community 2006.
