This report aims to provide an insight into the particle physics of today, and into the research that goes on within the field. The focus is partly on the recent discovery of the Higgs boson, and partly on how software can be used to simulate processes in particle accelerators. Basic concepts of particle physics and the search for the Higgs boson are discussed, and experimental results, including those from the Large Hadron Collider, are compared with simulations made in MadGraph 5. Furthermore, simple new models of particle physics are created in FeynRules, in order to make simulations based on the models. To support the presentations of these aspects, some of the underlying theory is built from the ground up.

Genom att la?sa tidigare forskning om Generation Y, inneha?llsmarknadsfo?ring och om sociala medier under uppsatsprocessen fo?ra?ndrades problemsta?llningen succesivt, i enlighet med en abduktiv forskningsansats. Studiens fokus utvecklades fra?n att underso?ka alternativa marknadsfo?ringsmetoder vid marknadsfo?ring mot Generation Y till att omfatta pa? vilken social medieplattform Generation Y a?r mest mottaglig fo?r inneha?llsbaserad marknadsfo?ring.Syftet med denna studie a?r att hja?lpa fo?retag vars ma?lgrupp a?r Generation Y att rikta sin inneha?llsmarknadsfo?ring i ra?tt kanaler och pa? detta sa?tt spara tid och pengar. Fo?r att uppfylla syftet och besvara studiens problem samlades empirisk data in genom en webbaserad, kvantitativ enka?tunderso?kning som genomfo?rdes av totalt 301 respondenter, alla tillho?rande Generation Y.

Luftkyld hyttsten används sedan mer än 30 år i stället för naturmaterial som förstärkningslager i vägar. Flertalet laboratorieundersökningar av hyttstens E-modul har utförts och visat på höga E-moduler. Som ett led i undersökningen av den E-modul materialet får i verkligheten har Vägverket Region Norr, samfinansierat med SSAB och BDX, låtit utföra fallviktsmätningar av sex vägar i Norrbotten. De valda vägarna skiljer sig åt i ålder och karaktär, från grusväg till högtrafikerad fyrfältsväg och från nybyggd till nästan 20 år gammal. Målet med detta examensarbete har varit att utvidga analysen av vägarna och söka samband mellan E-modulen och vägarnas skadebild, underhållsbehov och ålder samt mellan E-modulen och den nedkrossning av materialet som eventuellt skett på grund av den trafiklast det utsatts för.

This study is intended to identify which factors that influence the success of initiatives in Customer Relationship Management, usually abbreviated as CRM. In the course of this study we have been in contact with forty-two companies operating in Sweden within eleven different sectors in order to find out how they operate regarding CRM initiatives, particularly initiatives within marketing and promotions. Against the data collected during the study it was concluded that the companies working with CRM believed that the CRM initiatives resulted in higher profitability and created more loyal customers. At the same time it was evident that the companies had different views on CRM as a method and its benefits. The majority of the companies could not present any tangible results from CRM-initiatives. It was also revealed that decisions regarding CRM initiatives were based on subjective assessments and without theoretical foundation.

Denna uppsats handlar om musikterapi som behandling i psykosocial rehabilitering av vuxna cancerpatienter. Syftet var att undersöka föreställningar och upplevelser som kommuniceras från patienter genom musikaliska gestaltningar eller andra uttryck med anknytning till musikterapin.Uppsatsen beskriver cancersjukdom och rehabilitering ur ett psykosocialt perspektiv. Den beskriver musikterapi, med särskild fördjupning mot musikterapi i cancervård, samt illustrerar arbetet genom kliniska exempel.Undersökningen är kvalitativ, med influenser från fenomenologi och hermeneutik. Underlaget utgörs av empiriska data: arbetsanteckningar från 8 musikterapier. Forskaren deltog själv i den beskrivna verksamheten och materialet präglas av subjektivitet.

öretag har under lång tid använt sig av olika typer av beslutsstödjande system för att fatta rätt beslut. Under 1990-talet har en typ av beslutsstödjande system som kallas datalager utvecklats. Datalagret har utvecklats till ett beslutsstödjande system som hjälper slutanvändarna att analysera data med hjälp av olika typer av verktyg med användarvänliga gränssnitt.I rapporten undersöks hur datalager används av företag i deras verksamhet. Som underlag för rapporten har fem företag studerats. Bland företagen som ingick i undersökningen blev svaret att de använde sina datalager främst till att ta fram statistik och genomföra uppföljningar.

The purpose with this thesis is to demonstrate that other factors than the existing set of rules could influence the Management Group?s decision in regards to depreciation of goodwill. We have explained the conflicts between the management group and the stakeholders by using the Agency Theory and the Stakeholder Model. We have used the Positive Accounting Theory to describe how the management group?s opportunistic behaviour decides which accounting method to use.

Purpose: The purpose of the essay is; to explain and clarify how the company is acting to lead members in social media to achieve valuable external communication. The authors believe that it is important to act with credibility and quality in social media, to accomplish long lasting relationships. When employees communicate with consumers their conduct is relevant to the company's credibility.Methodology: An inductive approach has been used for the empirical data collection since the authors have been studying the reality without existing theories. A qualitative research method has been used for collecting the empirical material. Primary data was collected from telephone interviews with seven companies, active in social media.Conclusions: The study shows that the power of employees? can be used when designing strategies for social media.

When foreign children first arrive to Sweden, the first contact they get with the local society is through primary school. Therefore, the primary school have the fundamental role to attend the foreign and their families.The teacher plan for primary schools (Lpfö98) make it very clear that children with foreign background are given the full support in their development in a multicultural society. The aim of this report is to investigate how two pre-school teachers and one school counselors? work with these newly arrived children in preschool to support their integration in the preschool.As the role of the primary school is so vital for children with foreign background in this new society, I would therefore like to take the opportunity to explore and show how meaningful the role is of teachers to integrate these children into the Swedish primary schools.In this report, the theory part is treated based on integration and on the schools suspension to multicultural backgrounds. For this report, I even stress the support of the primary school and how they meet the foreign children and their families.

The Nasometer is a non-invasive acoustic measuring instrument that quantifies the ratio ofnasal resonance in speech. It can be used as a complement to perceptual judgment of speech impediments, for example, in patients with cleft palate and velopharyngeal insufficiency. Inorder to determine if a nasalance score is abnormal, it must be compared to norm data. The main purpose of the study was to collect reference nasalance scores in children between fourand five years of age in Linköping. An additional objective was to compare the results tonorm data collected in Umeå.

The purpose of this thesis is to outline an appropriate model in order for companies to successfully act and compete physically as wholesalers at the same time as acting on the virtual market by selling directly to the end consumer. The approach of this thesis is hermeneutical and abductive with elements of hypothetically deductive approach. Our research has a qualitative research strategy based on case studies and interviews as well as on secondary data. Interviews were conducted with the case company JaymJay Wear AB as well as with other companies, so called mini cases. The secondary data consists mainly of textbooks, web sites and journals.

The objective of this diploma work is to investigate a set of Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) channel models compatible with the emerging IEEE 802.11n standard. This diploma work validates also advanced, innovative tools and wireless technologies that are necessary to facilitate wireless applications while maximizing spectral efficiency and throughput. MIMO channel models can be used to evaluate new Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) proposals based on multiple antenna technologies. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate means of channel models and their implementation in different environments such as: Matlab, C++ and Advanced Design Systems (ADS). The investigation considers also a comparison between the channel models based on theoretical data and parameter setup to the channel models based on statistical characteristics obtained from measured data.
