The current standards for design of steel beams are divided into four classes based on the slenderness of cross-sectional parts. Depending on the section class a beams load capacity is either determined by a plastic, elastic or a reduced elastic model. The division between cross-sections calculated by a plastic and an elastic model is today done in a very harsh way with no smooth transition. This leads to a large difference in the calculated resistance for the sections located near the class limits. Elasto-plastic sections are in the current situation calculated as purely elastic and their large plastic reserve is not considered in the current standards.

AbstractTitle: A fair representation? A comparative study of the morning program guests and the context in which they are involved. Author: Hanna Brandt Parkvall & Adam So?derblom Tutor: Anne-Marie Morhed Purpose: This study aimed to investigate and compare the guests and the context in which they are involved, in the morning programs Gomorron Sverige on SVT1 and Nyhetsmorgon on TV4. The thesis is based on three questions that examine how representative the invited guests are in proportion to the country?s population, the subjects that occupy the most space and the types of guests that discuss these topics in the programs.

Den här kandidatuppsatsen handlar om vilka skillnader som finns i medierapporteringen om fotbollsmatcher i Sveriges högsta division för män respektive kvinnor, Allsvenskan och Damallsvenskan, och hur den maskulinitetsnorm som omgärdar idrotten tar sig uttryck i Sveriges två största kvällstidningars referat om matcherna.De frågeställningar som besvaras i denna uppsats är:Vad finns det för skillnader mellan matchreferaten av herr- respektive damallsvenskan i Sveriges två största kvällstidningar under säsongen 2011 när det gäller placering, utrymme, reporterroll och val av bild, rubrik och bildtext?Hur manifesterades maskulinitetsnormen i artiklarna om damernas respektive herrarnas matcher?Undersökningen är av kvalitativ karaktär, då syftet är att belägga och förstå den maskulinitetsnorm som omgärdar svensk fotboll och kvällstidningarnas rapportering om den. Resultatet av undersökningen visar att det finns stora skillnader mellan rapporteringen om Allsvenskan och Damallsvenskan ? bland annat att liknande företeelser bedöms olika, och att olika företeelser framhävs, beroende på om de förekommer i ett referat av en herr- eller en dammatch.För att förstå och tolka undersökningens resultat, och delvis också för att utforma undersökningen, används framförallt de teorier som Nathalie Koivula presenterar i doktorsavhandlingen Gender in sport. Även Håkan Larssons teorier om Queer idrott och Kim Elvin-Nowak och Helené Thomssons teorier ur Att göra kön har en essentiell roll i denna uppsats.

Title: A new battle, the same bottle: A case study of the visual communication of Absolut Vodka and how it?s positioned towards different market segments.Author: Anna von Friedrichs Grängsjö & Niklas SvanlindhTutor: Jessica GustafssonPurpose: To overview the visual communication of Absolut Vodka and how it?s positioned towards different market segments. Absolut Vodka is a brand that reaches a vast range of consumers through a single consistent marketing strategy. The hypothesis was that one can reach many different market segments with the marketing of a product by constantly keeping some components of the communication the same while constantly changing others. Key questions to be answered are: How do Absolut Vodka address their target audiences in their visual communication? Which market segments does the visual communication of Absolut Vodka seem to address?Method/Material: The research was conducted through a qualitative research study in which four Youtube videos by Absolut Vodka were analyzed.

The automotive market is currently undergoing a historical change where stricter emission legislations and ever increasing fuel costs have intensified the search for effective alternatives to the conventional internal combustion engine, which has resulted in a substantial trend towards electrification of powertrains. Storage of electrical energy is the fundamental component in this technology where the lithium-ion batteries are currently considered as the most appropriate solution. Lithium-ion batteries, however, as other types of batteries, can only be used efficiently and durably within a specific temperature range.This Master thesis has been carried out in collaboration with Electroengine in Sweden AB, situated in Uppsala, which has an ongoing project regarding development of a modular battery system for electric powertrains. The project is at a stage where an initial prototype has been developed which provides the foundation for this thesis. The study has addressed the battery system performance from a thermal perspective, in order to validate the ability of the system to create a thermally serviceable environment for the lithium-ion battery cells.

AbstractThis degree project is about having meetings in The Swedish Social Insurance Agency, which is awide organisation. This work will concentrate on one of the projects going on within theorganisation which is travel-free meetings, where they are building a video meeting system thatallows the employees in the organisation to be able to meet with each other through the use ofvideoconferencing instead of physical meetings.In this work we will show how Kaikaku (radical system changes) along with Kaizen (continuouschange) can support an organisation to become more efficient and reduce wastage. We have donethis work in an organisation that is present in over one hundred locations in Sweden.The Social Insurance Agency has over 13 000 employees at over one hundred locations inSweden.The organisation has to be close to their customers and provide the best service aspossible. To be able to work in a uniform way, the employees get together and have meetings.Some meetings are just progress meetings and takes perhaps no more than two hours to complete.However, if seven employees from seven different locations need to have meetings, in the worstcase, they all have to meet in a common place.This is expensive for the organisation in travel costs, time and absence from work, but thetravelling also contributes to environmental pollution if the employees are travelling by a fuelpoweredvehicle.A whole day could go lost for having a meeting in about two hours if all sevenemployees went from their own cities to e.g. Stockholm for the meeting.Muda (wastage) of travel created several different types of Muda, namely:? Wastage with anticipation when the employees had to wait for e.g.

AbstractThe main purpose of this study is to examine which essential traits floorball coaches for men?s and women?s team require.

Bakgrund och syfteUnder en fotbollsmatch rör sig spelarna någonstans mellan 9-12 km i olika hastigheter. Ungefär 10 % av denna sträcka genomförs genom löpningar av hög intensitet, där de flesta sprinter sker kring 2 sekunder. Under 2 sekunder hinner en spelare ungefär 10-15 meter, beroende på spelarens accelerationsförmåga. Studier har visat ett samband mellan hopp och sprintförmåga både bilateralt och unilateralt. Dock är det få studier som följt förloppet från start till 30 meter med mellantider om varje 5 meter och få studier genomförda unilateralt hos fotbollsspelare.

The digitization of patient data and medical records used by the healthcare-industry in Sweden is rapidly developing. However; developing and changing things in this field is not an easy task because of the circumstances surrounding it. Digital systems intended to process, and hold, sensitive personal data, such as medical journals, must be developed with laws, confidentiality, integrity and availability in mind to secure that none of this data gets compromised.A complicating factor in regards to this is the fast rate of development within IT in contrast to the much slower bureaucratic process of the justice system. This means that laws and regulations oftentimes aren?t up to date with the newest available technology.With the purpose of establishing set regulations on how patient data should be properly handled the Swedish government enacted the Patient Data Act (sv.

Malassezia otitis in dogs is a common cause of visit to a veterinary service. In otitis externa due to Malassezia overgrowth the dog has a higher number of yeast organisms and/or a local inflammatory response to the micro organism. Common clinical signs include pruritus, erythema, swelling and increased exudate production. Clinical symptoms and results from cytology of ear swabs from the ear canal is the mainstay for diagnosis. Any underlying condition has to be identified and corrected to avoid relapse. The treatment options for infective otitis externa are based upon topical administration of eardrops containing antibiotics, steroids and antifungals.
