This work aims to evaluate the possibility of using a graphical programming language to develop software for a digital signal processor. A fixed-point digital signal processor called Blackfin BF-537 is used for this. Instead of using conventional programming languages, like C or assembler, for software development the possibilities to use a graphical environment to fill the same purpose are examined. The development environment primarily used is NI LabVIEW, but also the use of Mathworks Matlab Simulink is investigated. A variety of programs consisting of various signal processing operations and utilities are developed using these development environments.

This literature study assembles current knowledge about CODD (Contagious Ovine Digital Dermatitis). The aetiology of this disease is not completely known and to obtain a manageable overview, this study aims to summarize the knowledge from published studies and shed light on the subject. Search for literature on the subject has been made in the Web of Knowledge, PubMed and Google Scholar, and has been compiled in this paper. Footrot and ovine interdigital dermatitis are differential diagnosis of CODD and they possibly have a common role in the emergence of CODD. Several studies have drawn parallels to bovine digital dermatitis.

Syftet med följande arbete är att förstå en grupp lärares och elevers uppfattningar om kunskap samt om undervisningsformer inom ämnet Fotografisk bild. Arbetet ger en inblick i aktuell forskning om lärande i skolan. Med hjälp av en kvalitativ studie inkluderande intervjuer av såväl elever som lärare ville jag förstå deras uppfattningar om kunskap samt om undervisningsformer inom ämnet Fotografisk bild. Det framkom i min undersökning att den digitala tekniken är det som används i samhället idag, och även förändrar vårt sätt att lära och att tolka världen. Den digitala tekniken bör därför vara ett naturligt inslag i elevernas kunskapsbildning. Dessutom kan jag konstatera att den analoga tekniken har visat sig medföra positiva effekter på kreativiteten samt elevernas engagemang.

Att ?sexta? innebär att med textbaserade digitala medier kommunicera med sexuella partners, vilket är en praktik som kan upplevas väldigt intim trots mediets begränsningar av de karaktäristiska dragen av en fysisk interaktion. Denna studie har som syfte att ge en övergripande bild över hur denna typ av interaktion konstrueras och tar sig uttryck, vilket görs i en tredelad undersökning som fokuserar på kommunikationsmönsterna och hur dessa reflekteras över. Det empiriska materialet utgörs av 18 bidrag insamlade via en nätbaserad deltagande observation, 2 kvalitativa intervjuer och 56 svarande på en nätbaserad enkät. Genom ett självselektivt urval avgränsades den studerade gruppen till i huvudsak informanter med en medianålder på 27 år med erfarenheter av heterosexuella relationer.

Social media is by many believed to be the core of a new type of Public Relations. This new PR is called PR 2.0. Most larger companies today are to be find using dif- ferent types of social media to interact with their publics. Each year companies invest more money in this type of digital public relations. Social media is a relatively new online phenomenon and still used at a very early stage.

The digital era has led to technical advances that have transformed the role of the public library from being a place that is used only through physical visits and material, into also being a virtual space that can be accessed by users from outside the library through Internet-based access to e-media such as e-books and streamed or downloadable audiobooks.The aim of this study is to examine how the role of public libraries in Stockholm County has changed in the process of developing into digital libraries: how this has affected their organisation, work methods and strate- gies, as well as their accessibility. The theoretical framework of the study draws on Michael K. Bucklands theory of information accessibility, which is based on six factors of access that are determined by different types of barriers. The methodology is based on a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods. Primary data was gathered through an empirical survey, which consisted of a structured questionnaire distributed to most of the public libraries in Stockholm County and semi-structured interviews with selected librarians and experts for further in-depth understanding.

Purpose/Aim: To describe likenesses and differences between the personal identity of the common Kalmar nation member and the collective identity of the organization Kalmar nation as described by said members.Material/Method: Collecting data through a quantitative survey, where the members answer questions about themselves and Kalmar nation, and subsequent analysis of said data by means of theories about personal, collective, and brand identity.Main results: After analyzing the data from the survey I conclude that there exists both likenesses and differences between the organization and its members. Some likenesses are more pronounced than others, and the same can be said for the differences. However, within the three areas of study (specific identity traits, politics and music) politics and music showed more similarity between the members and the nation than the specific identity traits did. The most interesting aspect of the analysis show that the members have quite a common view of the organization despite their own widely different descriptions of themselves..

Softube has developed DSP-card and software for simulation of the sound of old tube amplifiers. The purpose with this thesis is to design a compact amplifier with high power to function together with the DSP-card and build a unit that can replace several other guitar amplifiers. The advantages with that kind of solution could be that it would be cheaper, easier to carry and easier to stor than the real amplifiers. The amplifier that has been designed is of class D type with digital PWM modulator. There is several types of amplifier modules on the market that use analog input signal, but if one of them would be used a D-A converter is needed on the DSP card.

Digital teknik och media har kommit att bli en del av samha?llet vi lever i idag. I Sverige har kommuner gjort stora satsningar na?r det ga?ller digital teknik, dock a?r det fa? skolor som lyckats integrera tekniken med la?randet pa? ett bra sa?tt. Samtidigt a?r den digitala tekniken en stor del av barn och ungdomars vardag.

Syftet med denna uppsats är att diskutera och redogöra för hur religionslärare och läromedelsförlag resonerar kring religionskunskapslärobokens koppling till digital informationsteknik. Genom intervjuer med lärare och läromedelsförlag ville jag ta reda på om det finns en efterfrågan av en lärobok med koppling till digital informationsteknik, vilka funktioner de skulle vilja ha i ett sådant läromedel och vilken funktion det beskrivs få i undervisningen. Resultaten visar att det finns en efterfrågan av läromedel med koppling till digital informationsteknik även om olika grupper av lärare efterfrågar olika saker precis som de förhåller sig olika till teknik och läroboken. Resultaten bekräftar teorin om att ny teknik i skolan leder till en evolution snarare än en revolution då lärarna främst vill kunna använda tekniken till det de redan gör idag. Detta blir en svårighet för förlagen då satsningar på digitala funktioner inte tilltalar den grupp av lärare som använder läroboken mest idag och den grupp av lärare som efterfrågar mer digitala funktioner bara ser läroboken som en i mängden av läromedel och antagligen inte kommer att använda den mer trots nya funktioner..

This is a study of the work of a Danish music teacher at a free school (grade 1 9) in Copenhagen. The teaching is based explicitly on playing in ensemble and the pupils play at a high artistic level compared to a normal school. Data collection was made during three days with the help of observation, video recording and qualitative interviews. The report contains video clips where the pupils and the teacher play together. The great differences between this model of teaching and the normal, lie in the teacher participation in the music making, the central role of the rhythms, the early start (grade two), the form of songs and arrangements and the lack of notation in favor of music making by ear.

Jag har i det här arbetet gjort en analys av skillnaden mellan analog och digital summering avljudspår. Analyserna gjordes med avseende på frekvensspektrum, transientrespons och fasdifferens.Det gjordes genom att jag skrev och spelade in två låtar att använda till analyserna, mixade dessaoch körde ut till 24 separata ljudspår per låt. De summerades sedan på tre olika mixerbord och i treolika mjukvaror, för att sedan med Adobe Audition analysera hur frekvensspektrum,transientrespons och fasdifferens ändrats. Därefter gjordes genomsnitt för de analoga och de digitalasummeringarna för att se om det fanns några skillnader dem emellan. Även om det fanns gott omskillnader mellan mixerborden så var fasdifferenser det enda som var genomgående för alla analogasummeringar mot de digitala..

Title: Does the teacher play any role? Instrumental music teacher's stories about their music teaching.This paper focuses on how instrumental music teachers describe their own significance for- and relationship to the pupils and if the teacher-pupil relationship has any significance for the pupil's success in music learning. How important are the teachers? What kind of teaching behaviours do the teachers emphasize in their telling? The theoretical background is psychology and educational theory. My research method is qualitative, particularly interviews.

Typically, when Faurecia in Torsås are planning a new assembly line, one of the steps is to build a full-scale model of the line in card board, a form of mock-up planning. Faurecia has shown interest in finding an alternative methodology. The purpose was to explore the possibility of replacing today's cardboard based mock-up planning with models in a digital simulation environment.The purpose of the thesis has been to answer some of these complex questions; What are the benefits of using a simulation tool? In what way can we use it? If we choose to use a simulation tool, in what way does it affect our way of planning an assembly line? What are the advantages and disadvantages? Are there any economical and social aspects?Our results made us realize that a digital simulation tool does not replace the card board. On the other hand simulation could be used as a complement.
