This report describes the development and implementation of a system for transmitting digital information at high speeds from a miniaturized submersible developed by the Ångström Space Technology Centre at Uppsala University. For instance, the vehicle shall transmit image data ? even stream live video - through an optical fibre to a monitor in a ground station. Hence, the system shall be used both to convert the image data to make it transmittable, and to recreate it at the receiver.The work includes a pre-study of the programming language and the technology used. A concept for the solution is presented together with main components later broken down into internal functions.

Syftet med denna uppsats var att belysa förhÄllandet mellan image och tjÀnstekvalitet inom försÀkrings-branschen. För att kunna besvara vÄrt syfte studerade vi skillnaden mellan förvÀntad och upplevd tjÀnst. Vi studerade Àven i vilken utstrÀckning olika faktorer pÄverkar den upplevda kvaliteten av en tjÀnst, samt vilket inflytande image har pÄ kunden vid köp av tjÀnst. En enkÀtundersökning gjordes bland ett försÀkringsbolags kunder, dÀr vi undersökte SERVQUALS sex dimensioner samt imagens pÄverkan. VÄr empiriska undersökning visade att det fanns en klar koppling mellan image och tjÀnstekvalitet.

Our paper is a study about youth and their self-images. During our practical training period we found that the problems young people had always were connected with their self-image. We therefore wanted to find out what youth believe influence their self-image. The purpose of our study was to examine young people and their self-images in a perspective of the ecological systems model. Essential issues have been what self-images young people have, what they consider influence their self-image most, how they think they can resist influence from the environment and how they would like to be influenced by the environment if they could decide themselves.

Within the fields of business as well as the academic, there is a growing interest for the role images play in an organized conception of the world. This paper acknowledges the relevance of such images and ideas, and its purpose is to examine the fixed ideas and conceptions of the world as they appear in a Swedish organizational context. The Swedish Trade Council is a hybrid organization between the state and private sector with an outspoken purpose of defining an image of the outside world for small and medium size enterprises in Sweden. The underlying question in focus for this study is: What central conceptions of the world appear in the Swedish Trade Council?s information films ?VÀrldens möjligheter?? Within organizational studies, a postcolonial theory has to a large extent been overlooked.

This is a discourse analysis concerning the visions for Malmö's future. Three concepts are studied to see which meaning these are given in the Malmö context. The studied concepts are ? development (utveckling), industry (nÀringsliv) and citizen (befolkning).The meanings of these concepts are studied against a backdrop of theories of inclusion/exclusion in general and inclusion/exclusion in the city more specific. Michael FoucaultŽs notion of a discourse which stigmatizes those not following a behaviour which is defined as being right and normal is central to this.

Framförallt anser aktörerna i Glasriket att det finns potential att ut-veckla destinationen genom att bredda bilden av att Glasriket inte endast innefattar glas.Idag utgör glas den frÀmsta anledningen till att besöka Glasriket.

Participation, public art and participatory public art as phenomenons and subjects have been studied and discussed. With interviews and observations as a base, we have studied projects and discussed participation, effect and quality in relation to these. Furthermore we have looked at how the participatory art processes work in Sweden and England. This essay seeks to discuss the process of participatory public art and to emphasize the elements contributing to the quality of this process. It is up to us as planners to recognize the possibilities for a qualitative place. To mediate between different interests, for example between politicians and stakeholders, between economics and quality, between the place and its users, between individuals and the community, and in our case between artists, users and the municipality. Public art has gone from being about the product, an art piece, to becoming more of a process, from non interactive to interactive. Participation ranges from receiving information to play an active part in the process. Four cases have been studied, taken both from Sweden and England, showing the diversity of processes connected to Participatory Public Art. From interviews conducted in Sweden and England information and thoughts have been received and they show a higher degree of use of participatory public art in England, and also a higher consciousness.
