At Saab Aerospace in Linköping, components for measurement systems to the fighter aircraft JAS 39 Gripen are developed. In this activity you sometimes want to record the traffic transmitted on the data busses that connects different sys-tems. This traffic on the data busses is using the military standard MIL-STD-1553. This project has aimed to create a system for recording and sending 1553-data. The system is used on an ordinary personal computer, equipped with a recon- figurable I/O card that among others has a programmable logic circuit (FPGA).

The aim of this study was to examine the existing discourse of assault in Aftonbladet from the years 2012 and 2013. We have studied news articles and analysed them by using discourse analysis as theory and method.The study shows that the portrayal of perpetrators and victims in assault cases tend to differ depending on gender. The women is portrayed as weak and part of a homogeneous group while the man is portrayed as dominant and offered a more individual role. The study also shows that the normative group is separated from the deviate groups in society. The analyze show that media, through this representation, maintains the normative power in society.

Dilaterad kardiomyopati (DCM) är en relativt vanlig och mycket allvarlig sjukdom hos hundrasen Newfoundland. Sjudomen kännetecknas av att hjärtats kontraktionsförmåga minskar vilket leder till symtom på hjärtsvikt. Syftet med studien är att undersöka om sjukdomen är ärftlig och, i så fall, sjukdomens arvsgång. Etthundrafemtio Newfoundlandhundar användes i studien vilka insamlats som en del av en molekylärgenetisk studie av DCM. Hundarna har genom olika metoder diagnostiserats med DCM (t ex ekokardiografi, histopatologi och kliniska symtom) och de som vid sju års ålder fortfarande var fria från symtom på DCM har betraktats som friska.

This review article presents the splicing process during messenger RNA maturation and how it is regulated by different Cis-regulatory RNA-sequence elements and splicing factors. A more detailed description of the process alternative splicing and its importance to the function of genes from the model organism Arabidopsis thaliana is also given. A single eukaryotic gene can by the process alternative splicing (AS) give rise to a number of functionally mature mRNA-molecules, which in turn encodes for structurally and/or functionally different proteins. During the course of evolution, the process alternative splicing has thus shown to be effective in increasing transcriptome and proteome diversity of most eukaryotic organisms. This suggests therefore that the dominant theory in molecular biology, a gene encodes for a protein, needs to be corrected.

Emotional Intelligence (EI) is a highly used concept in contemporary organizations, especially in the recruitment process or education of employees and managers. The aim of this study was to examine the discursive production of the concept emotional intelligence and how it, linked to an organizational context, is expressed in web-based articles and course homepages. In total 11 texts related to emotional intelligence and organizational contexts were used as the object of study. A three-stage model was used as a method for analysis. The model included a content analysis, argument analysis and a deconstruction analysis in order to expose what was said about emotional intelligence and how it was said.

This survey's main purpose is to highlight how the two Swedish newspapers Aftonbladet and Dagens Nyheter writes and describes four different school shootings. We wanted to find out if there is a general pattern of how school shootings are reported by the media. Two of the shootings occured in USA, Columbine and Virginia Tech, and two in Finland, Kauhajoki and Jokela. The analysis aims at three areas: the whole event, the perpetrator and the victim. We have used a qualitative content analysis with a semiotic model to examine the articles in the survey. The theories in the study is based upon views on social constructionism, media logic, stereotypization, representation, morale panic/media panic and media events.

Denna uppsats är en stilistisk undersökning av Kerstin Ekmans roman Rövarna i Skuleskogen (1988) genomförd med hjälp av systemisk-funktionell lingvistik och dess analysmodeller. Uppsatsens fokus är tudelat: dels undersöks hur Ekman presenterar en bild av döden och hur den varieras, dels studeras hur Ekman använder dialogen för att förmedla att huvudkaraktären blir mer och mer mänsklig. Detta görs genom en transitivitetsanalys och en interpersonell analys. Uppsatsen visar att döden i Rövarna i Skuleskogen tidvis presenteras som ett fenomen med många mänskliga drag: han är av manligt kön, kan utföra fysiska handlingar och vara mentalt, men inte verbalt, aktiv. Det finns en korrelation mellan dödens frekvens, aktivitet och personifiering. I dialogen märks framför allt karaktärernas inbördes maktrelation tydligt, och resultaten visar att huvudkaraktären Skord tillåts vara mer dominant närmare slutet av romanen..

Encounter Control är ett sammanfattande begrepp för generell styrning och kontroll av tjänsteprocesser med särskilt fokus på inslag av externa och eller interna kundinteraktioner (encounters). I dessa möten agerar kunden ofta i två olika men integrerade roller: som kund och medproducent till den efterfrågade tjänsten. Denna encounterproblematik är välkänd och men också mycket komplex. De berörda aktiviteterna inrymmer många olika problem med t.ex. mätning, analys och förbättring av både kvalitet och effektivitet.

In contemporary global environmental governance stakeholding, as a means for defining legitimate participants in democratic decision-making, has become of great importance. In this essay I deploy the concept of ?the stakeholder perspective? to denote arguments that all stakeholders ? defined as carriers of particular interests ? should be able to participate in political decision-making affecting their interests. The purpose of the essay is to analyze the stakeholder perspective's potential to change environmental politics. Departing from the philosophy of Heidegger, I develop a theoretical approach that separate the concept of the political from that of politics.

Transit Objects In the Master Essay I argue around two existing levels in the works presented at the graduation exhibition. On the one hand, it is about influence; on the other hand it is about the phenotypes of purpose-ness. In the introduction, I describe the relationship between the shapes that I have come to call Transit objects, and their on the one hand ideological superstructure; on the other hand, the different aspects of their shapes regarding the imitation I, in creating the objects, performed. In the case with the objects shape-aspects, I stand on the thoughts that I found during my bachelor's work, that is, to express the phenotypes of purpose-ness.When it comes to influence, I speculate about how linguistics, and particularly a branch called neuro-linguistics, illustrates how the arguments that make up our world can be transformed. I use a meta-model and a conversation model as a tool to illustrate this. When I, like that, illustrate the plasticity of meaning, and cognition, I note Catherine Malabous taught (in her book What Should we do with our brain?) on the plasticity of the brain in relation to the neo-liberal systems of capitalism. She argues for how the brain has come to stand model for the organization of different types of networks. I hint the link to a future scenario where the desire to influence takes new forms and uses the latest brain research challenges, more specifically the use of ultrasound for the treatment of pain and other similar conditions. This also can be used as generating various types of seizures, pleasant or unpleasant.

This essay analyses the act of reading August Strindberg?s novel En dåres försvarstal (A Madman?s defence). It reveals the writer?s motif and purpose with the text and it shows how a certain interpretation of the text is crucial for the writer?s intentions to become reality. But it also shows how this interpretation is threaten by several, both intertextual and extratextual, thematically and structural, factors.

The thesis of this essay is that the concept of governance is a product of the neo-liberal dominant ideology and that the implementation of governance ideas will lead to a weaker nation-state. Using critical theory the essay constructs an ideal type of neo-liberalism and compares its core values with these of the governance concept as treated by the main literature in the area. The essay then focuses on the issue of the state, and discusses whether the changes leading to a demand for governance have actually weakened the state. Furthermore, the essay presents the practical use of the term governance in the EU and Sweden and problemizes the changes that the neo-liberal domination has led to in terms of power and democracy. Finally the essay discusses alternative views on the changing role of the state.

A common goal in practical forest management is to maximize the yield, measured in economical terms. When a forest stand is thinned a so called inoptimality loss can arise due to non-optimal decisions. This means that the selected management schedule results in a lower net present value than the optimal one which lowers the profitability for the forest owner. Holmen Skog uses the term tract which means an aggregation of stands made before a management action. A tract should be delineated in different tract parts in connection with pre-thinning planning if there is different bearing capacity within the tract, different thinning grades should be used or if the tract contains a weaker part that should not be thinned.

Detta är en uppsats baserad på en kvalitativ metod som behandlar dictogloss som samarbetsmetod i klassrummet och en undersökning kring processen och rollerna samt skillnader och likheter mellan några grupper på en utlandsskola, svensk gymnasial friskola i norra Sverige och en svensk kommunal gymnasieskola i norra Sverige. Samarbete visar sig bero på vilka sociala roller informanterna får/tar och för att processen ska vara gynnsam är det viktigt att förhandling mellan eleverna sker. Vem i gruppen som får vilken roll har många komponenter, men makt spelar stor roll för vem som är dominant i gruppen, om den rollen tilldelas. Resultatet visar att en person kan växla mellan olika roller och att expertrollen inte nödvändigtvis behöver tilldelas den mest dominanta..
