There are several different methods of assessment of functional communication in individuals with aphasia. However, these are not very established in Sweden. A number of assessment methods are not translated and adapted to Swedish. The views about what functional communication means are scattered. The purpose of this study was to, with the help of a questionnaire survey, identify how Swedish speech and language therapists assess functional communication, to what extent and what they want that an assessment method should contain to be clinically useful.The study involved 54 clinically active speech and language therapists in the area of aphasia.

Today it is mandatory for every college or university student to pay a union fee to their student?s union. The fee is mandatory and is a payment for writing examinations, receiving grades. The fees purpose is also intended to secure the education quality and student influence. In the presence of the abolishment of the union fee the Swedish student?s unions stand before an uprising competition between themselves and most likely a decrease in membership.

Mindre företag i Sverige anvÀnder Àven i dag Àldre DOS-baserade (Disk Operating System) program för att hantera sina administrationsbehov. I takt med övergÄngen till fönsterbaserade applikationer har Àven behovet av hanteringen av övergÄngen ökat. I detta examensarbete har företaget ifrÄga haft behov av en uppdatering av dess befintliga DOS-baserade administrationsprogram. Uppgiften har varit att ta fram ett motsvarande Windows-baserat administrationsprogram med stöd för alla de funktioner som det ursprungliga programmet hade men med utökad funktionalitet. För att lösa denna uppgift har första steget i samrÄd med företagets representant varit att analysera hur anvÀndarna anvÀnder det befintliga systemet för att ta reda pÄ de funktioner som behövdes för att skapa ett vÀl fungerande program.

En komponentbaserad mjukvaruutveckling syftar till att minska utvecklings- och underhÄllskostnader för mjukvaruprogram. Trots att det idag inte finns nÄgon enhÀlligt accepterad definition av en komponent sÄ existerar komponentteknologier som Àmnar till att minska utvecklingstiden för mjukvara genom komponenter.De olika teknologierna som undersöks i denna rapport Àr Microsofts COM, OMGs CORBA och Suns JavaBeans. Dessa jÀmförs pÄ tekniska egenskaper, prestanda, sprÄkberoende, plattformsberoende och distributionsstöd dÄ dessa egenskaper Àr viktiga för programvaruutvecklare vid val av teknologi. Detta genomförs med hjÀlp av en litteraturstudie över specifikationerna för respektive teknologi. Litteraturstudien tÀcker Àven material av teknologiernas existens pÄ dagens kommersiella komponentmarknad.Resultatet frÄn jÀmförelsen pekar pÄ att COM-teknologin kommer att dominera marknaden för komponenter pÄ Windows-plattformarna och att CORBA kommer att smÀlta ihop med JavaBeans för att dominera marknaden för icke Windows-plattformar..

?Studies have shown that patients receiving mechanical ventilation in an intensive care unit (ICU), who are entirely dependent on the nursing staff, often experience frustration due to a temporary loss of the voice source. Limited communication is an important factor contributing to patient discomfort. Nursing staff also report communication as frustrating and difficult.The aim of the present study is to introduce a neck-type electrolarynx as a communication aid in an ICU, to study the nursing staff experiences of communication with tracheotomized patients receiving mechanical ventilation, and to examine the patientÂŽs experiences regarding communicative abilities. Communication between a ventilator treated, tracheotomized patient and members of the nursing staff was recorded and analyzed according to principles of Conversation Analysis (CA).The results show that several members of the nursing staff experience difficulties communicating with tracheotomized patients receiving mechanical ventilation.

This study investigates communication and data in information systems. The paper deals, more specificly, with communication in a CRM-system implemented in a Swedish-founded company in Beijing, China. It discusses cultural, political, linguistic and gender based dilemmas that can arise from the use of a CRM-system in an international and bilingual environment. Fifty-nine interviews were conducted in Sweden and in China, either in Swedish or English. The result of this study shows that communication in the information system is affected by factors, that are not originated in technical shortcomings of the system, but rather from cultural, political, linguistic and gender based pre-knowledge among individuals.

This project is a collaboration with Ett Klick för Skogen, a foundation that buys and preserves endangered forests in Sweden. There are several ways of helping the foundation, e.g. buy a tree and for this the buyer obtains a symbolic diploma. Many organisations uses this method to collect money and for me the lack of a thorough expressions are consistent. The objective with this project has been to renew these diplomas for Ett Klick för Skogen and in the long run increase the collections and preservation of endangered forests in Sweden.The idea has been to vivify hardwood trees in a new and rather poetic than pedagogic manner.

Fler mÀnniskor börjar anvÀnda olika mobila operativsystem i mobiltelefonen samt appar som enbart fungerar pÄ plattformen. Det leder till att app-leverantörer mÄste utveckla varje app till varje specifik plattform vilket Àr dyrt. De vanligaste operativsystemen som anvÀnds idag Àr Android samt IOS men hösten 2012 slÀpptes Windows Phone 8 vilket innebÀr ytterligare en plattform att ta hÀnsyn till. I sammarbete med företaget Sogeti Jönköping fokuserar studien pÄ att hitta en metod som gör det möjligt att migrera appar mellan plattformar och till Windows Phone 8. Studien innefattar ocksÄ att identifiera för och nackdelar med olika app-typer genom en litteraturstudie och intervjuer samt att testa om migrationsmetoderna fungerar praktisk genom en implementation.Resultatet har pÄvisat att det finns tvÄ stycken olika metoder för migration vilket Àr PhoneGap och Xamarin.

Every organization goes through the same lifecycle. Through every step in the transformation to a better organization the communication structure changes. In this report there are examples of the communicational disadvantages that is connected to the communicational structure.By choosing to not have a formal communicational design, the manager takes a risk in spreading the information, the interaction, the control and the balance in creativity and constraint.This case organizations problem is that some parts of the organization has made more progress in the communicational structure than other parts. In this case the Collectivity structure has met the Formalized structure.Tha structural differences has came to affect the way of sharing information and it has become a situation where the information about the products is not stored in a safe way from a quality point of view. There is a gap between the two different ways of communicate.In this report I have created a model to identify problems in the communication structure.
