This study has the purpose of looking at the current and future position of record labels from a context involving the technological developments, while the opportunities for the artists are changing. As the actors inside them music industry find themselves in an ever changing climate where traditional supply chains are threatened by new technology, the record labels need to change the way they work in order to maintain their existence in the music industry. The study has been conducted by interviewing a number of people involved in the music industry, by using a qualitative method approach. The conclusion of the study shows that the traditional way of doing business by treating music as a product that makes revenue is gone. Instead the labels have to take on new roles formerly run by third parties in order to survive and be profitable, especially since artists can now in control of activities that used to be controlled by the record label..

This thesis aims to analyse a time series containing the annual accumulation rate of minerogenic matter in the lake Kassjo?n. First there is a theoretical survey of some frequently used tools for the analysis of time series in the time domain and in the frequency domain. This survey is followed by a simulation study that illustrates how the theoretical tools work in practice. After this, the time series "toolbox" is used to analyse the time series from Kassjo?n (5701 data points).

An automatic milking (AM) system should be combined with some form of controlled cow traffic to minimize the time spend on fetching cows to milking and to increase the milking frequency. By restricting the hours spent on pasture per day you optimise the AM system use during pasture period. A reason for this is becuase cows do not return to the stable for milking during night which cause that the milking unit stands empty those hours. In organic production it is required that the cows should be able to graze a certain amount of daily dry matter (DM) intake on the pasture. In the county of Dalarna where the farm is located the yield of the pasture is about 3000 kg DM per grazing season and hectar.This means that the pasture area should be 14,25 hectare to 57 milking cows.

SAMMANFATTNINGBakgrundBröstcancer är den vanligaste cancerformen bland kvinnor och cirka 7000 kvinnor drabbas av sjukdomen varje år i Sverige. Trippeldiagnostik som består av en klinisk undersökning, mammografi och cellprovtagning är en metod som hjälper att tidigt upptäcka cancern. Vanligaste behandlingsformen är kirurgi som omfattar olika typer, till exempel bröstbevarande kirurgi och mastektomi. Diagnosen bröstcancer kan leda till försämrat välbefinnande respektive försämrad fysiskt, emotionell och social funktion som i sin tur kan leda till en traumatisk kris. Kvinnors kroppsuppfattning förändras efter genomgången mastektomi vilket lämnar en påminnelse om sjukdomen i form av ett permanent ärr.

In this essay I present an outline and examination of the Finnish Luther research, withan aim to learn more about some different aspects of Luther?s teaching on justificationas sanctification, and sanctification as the growth of the new man. I will also draw myattention to the formal language of metaphysics, as it is continuously employed by Luther to depict the issues and the content of his reformation theology. Apart from the program of research in Helsinki, I have turned to the writings of Luther himself; and I have as well tried to engage in a broader survey of Luther-scholars, some of which seem to, or in fact, support the Finnish interpretation, others which raise a critical stance towards it. The later portion of the essay picks up on the Finnish critique of dominant 19th and 20th century German Lutheran theologians, such as Albrecht Ritschl and Gerhard Ebeling.

TV-tekniken har gjort stora framsteg under 2000-talet. Digital TV-sändning har möjliggjort sändningar med fler ljudkanaler med högre upplösning. För att öka taltydligheten i TV-sammanhang används just flerkanalsljud då man implementerar en centerhögtalare istället för fantommitt. Denna uppsats undersöker vilka fördelar detta får för just taltydligheten. Ett lyssningstest genomfördes där subjekt dels fick bedöma uppfattbarheten i autentiska TV-reportage och dels fick sin egen förmåga att uppfatta tal satt på prov i ett Tal I Brus-test.

Antologin består av tre bidrag som studerar betydelsen av arbete och arbetslöshet ur olika perspektiv. Två av de tre bidragen inriktar sig på lastbilschaufförer och privatrådgivares upplevelser av deras arbeten. Det tredje bidraget fokuserar på hur det är att vara ung och leva utan arbete, samt vilka konsekvenser det får för individen. I anslutning till våra frågeteman rörande arbete och arbetslöshet har vi genom mindre omfattande fältarbeten och kvalitativa intervjuer samlat in material till studien, som därefter analyserats med hjälp av Grundad teori-metoder. Analysen av materialet har bidragit till att olika teorier kring bland annat livsvillkor, sociala interaktion med andra, samt arbetsrelaterad stress, blivit centrala för antologin.

This thesis has been conducted at Saab Bofors Dynamics AB. The purpose was to investigate if a non-linear missile model could be stabilized when the optimal control signal is computed considering constraints on the control input. This is particularly interesting because the missile is controlled with rudders that have physical bounds. This strategy is called Model Predictive Control. Simulations are conducted to compare this strategy with others; firstly simulations with step responses and secondly simulations when the missile is supposed to hit a moving target.

The purpose of this thesis was to examine relevance of the proposition made by new insitutionalists about institutional and technical environment. This proposition originaly made by Meyer & Rowan (1977) has two core assumptions: The first is that all organizations are controlled by combinations of types of demands; technical demands for efficient production and institutional demands to adept to cultural and normative expectations. The second assumption is that there exists a few organizations dominated almost entirely by one typy of demand. Organizations dominated by institutional demands are said to live in an institutional environment, while technical organizations is said operate in a technical environment. This thesis has examined if these assumptions are still applicable in describing organizational interaction with the environment.

Barn har olika rädslor och bemästringsstrategier beroende på vilken ålder och utvecklingsfas de befinner sig i. De kan uppleva sjukhus som något hotfullt och skrämmande. Tidigare forskning på barns rädslor har ofta besvarats av andra än de själva vilket har visats sig ge en felaktig bild av deras sjukhusupplevelse. Syftet med denna studie var att beskriva vad barn hade för rädslor i samband med vård på sjukhus och hur de försökte bemästra dem. En litteraturstudie har gjorts baserat på tio kvalitativa studier där barn mellan 3-18 år har intervjuats.

The main purpose of this master thesis is to identify the issues concerning the transformation process of a product oriented company into a service oriented company, and how these issues can be overcome. We will exemplify this by developing a dewatering pump rental concept for ABS, and identify the drivers and barriers for ABS when implementing the service oriented rental concept in Sweden and Poland. This master thesis is based on the systems perspective. The reason for this is the required holistic perspective, where the system has to be regarded from different points of departure in order to be understood. The theoretical studies include services and change management.
