Syftet för denna uppsats har varit att undersöka hur den växande feministiska kritiken mot objektifierande och stereotypiska framställningar av kvinnor under 1970- och 1980-talet har påverkat framställningen av genus i modereklam i nutid. Jag har även undersökt vilken funktion de nya kvinnouttrycken har i reklam, vars målgrupp är män. Jag har undersökt detta genom en fallstudie, en semiotisk näranalys av 4 bilder från Tom Fords modereklamkampanj för mäns kläder från 2008. Jag har utgått från postfeministiska teorier samt teorier kring maskulinitet.Mina frågeställningar var följande:-          Hur framställs kvinnan respektive/i förhållande till män i Tom Fords reklamkampanj?-          Hur ser den här typen av postfeministisk reklam ut?-          Vilken funktion har den postfeministiska kvinnan i reklam avsedd för män?-          Har man i grunden förändrat reklamens genusuttryck och budskap efter den feministiska kritiken?Resultaten visade att både kvinnor och män framställs genom postfeministiska uttryck, kvinnor ofta som starka individer och sexuella subjekt och män som mer feminiserade och androgyna.

För att undersöka resursallokering av processresurser vid informations-bearbetning av hotstimuli har ett ?Dual Task? experiment utförts med spindelrädda försöksdeltagare. Uppgiften bestod av att respondera på olika probe-stimuli som exponerades, direkt på bilder av olika djur (däribland spindlar), med olika tidsintervall. Latens och träffsäkerhet mättes, för ett mått på prestation, och EKG användes för att kontrollera att spindel-bilderna faktiskt utlöste rädsloresponser. Resultaten visar att större processresurser allokerades till spindelbilderna jämfört med alla de övriga bildkategorierna, men att denna differentiering inte verkar ske innan en kognitivt kontrollerad bearbetning och utvärdering av stimulus ägt rum.

The main aim of this paper is to illurninate how a group of immigrants meet the publiclibrary in Sweden. I have chosen to discuss Iranian immigrants' meeting with the publiclibrary in Borås. The investigation (qualitative interviews and inquiries) has taken placein the public library of Borås and partly in a local library with high density of immigrants.A theoretical perspective deals with the case study of dual marginality, where theconception of the "Marginal Man" or "The Outsider" is central. I have indicated how theprevious authors have considered this problem, to live on the verge between twodifferent cultures and how individuals react on it.The interviews and inquiries answered by Iranian immigrants are the most importantmaterial in this investigation and the result of them is connected to the theoreticalperspective and a discussion, what it means for the public library..

This report has a dual focus. The first goal was to increase the knowledge of how the use of electricity in a residential building is distributed. Electricity in residential buildings is used for lighting in common areas, elevators, pumps and many other appliances. The electricity used for these different parts is to a great extent unknown. A few studies have been carried out and the result of these is referred to in this report.By means of measurements and approximations the use of electricity for various appliances became known.

Individer med ett psykiskt funktionshinder har varit en del av en het debatt som pågått i Sverige en längre tid. Att ha både ett psykiskt funktionshinder och ett missbruk kallas för att ha en Dubbeldiagnos, (DD). Denna studie vill undersöka hur vårdpersonal upplever sitt arbete med att motivera brukare med DD till att förändra sin dagliga livsföring. Studien baseras på kvalitativa intervjuer med vårdpersonal, sammanlagt 12 intervjuer. Vårdpersonalen upplever sitt arbete som mycket positivt men att en känsla av frustration uppkommer då framsteg sker i en mycket långsam process.

BACKGROUND: Today?s societal changes, including high rate of change and increasing information flows, are increasing the demand on the individual mental capacity. It becomes increasingly difficult to analytically process all the different dilemmas and everyday decisions as individuals have a limited mental capacity available to make these decisions. Thus, it has been suggested that ego-depleted relies more heavily on intuition, which is less burdensome, when making decision. However little is known about to what extent intuitive decisions differ from analytic.

Syftet med denna C-uppsats har varit att få en ökad förståelse i hur vårdgivare arbetar med människor i ett mellanrum mellan två kategorier samt att belysa den problematik som finns med att kategorisera människor som dubbeldiagnos. Dubbeldiagnos är en kategorisering som ibland skapar problem som gör att dessa klienter hamnar i ett mellanrum mellan kommunen och landstinget. Denna studie är baserad på en kvalitativ metod med grundad teori som forskningsdesign. Intervjuer har gjorts med respondenter från psykiatrin, boendeverksamhet, öppenvårdsverksamhet och socialtjänsten. Resultatet tyder bland annat på att det som är viktigast i arbetet med dubbeldiagnoser är samverkan mellan vårdgivarna.

I grundskolan skiljer det sig mycket från elev till elev när det gäller konsten att behärska läsning. Då läsning är något som tränas genom övning är det oftast de som tycker det är svårt som håller sig borta från läsandet. DAISY är ett format som erbjuder läsare att, samtidigt som de läser en text, få den uppläst. Genom att presentera text både visuellt och auditivt kan fokus tas bort från själva ordavkodningen, vilket är det som de flesta i läs- och skrivsvårigheter har problem med. I detta arbete undersöktes läshastighet, läsförståelse och läseffektivitet på 18 åttondeklassare, varav sju uppvisade olika grader av läs- och skrivsvårigheter.

I?ve tried to find the most effective and cost effective way to harvest straw for energy recovery.You can choose between round bales and big square bales. Square bales are the cheapest way to produce straw for fuel recovery because you can optimize the length of the bales so they fit the transportation equipment.In the Malmö area the average days of harvesting hay is 55. The effectively of transportation depends mostly of the speed, the distance and density of the bales. To increase the capacity of bale transportation larger loads and higher density of the bales is necessary.

Elite sport is becoming more professional, and elite athletes have to be more committed to spend several hours in training to achieve elite level and this means that the time to pursue a university academic career to the side of elite sport is minimized. Still only few elite athletes will be able to make a living of their sport. The objective of this study is to gain a better understanding of the opportunities and difficulties for a student who combines academic study with elite sport. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews with eight students studying at the University of Umeå, combining elite sport with academic studies. Results show that there are high demands on elite students to structure and plan for the combination of studies and elite sport.

This is a thesis on D-level. In a previous course, at our program Computer Science, we came up with an idea of how to improve/complement training for new employees who are situated in a stressful workplace at companies who are in a constant need of rehiring. We developed this concept and came up with an idea for a simulator that could train staff as well as relieve stress and tension for new employees. The idea matured and became a Serious Game simulator based on a dual-wield Wii-controlled PC-based simulator with Bluetooth support.The purpose of this paper is to produce a design concept for a simulator as well as conducting research on the topics: mental and physical learning abilities, psychomotor abilities, visual perception, hand-eye coordination, confidence, simulators and Serious Games. The conducted research will be the foundation for the design concept which will be implemented in our co-workers', Henrik Djerf & Daniel Gomez-Ortega, prototype.

Flexible working conditions is used extensively in organizations today as a way tocreate flexibility for the employer. Recently we?ve been reading in the newspapersthat this approach is a growing problem and the EU has warned Sweden twice thatabuse of these forms of employment must be stopped. The Government has recentlysubmitted a proposed rule change to reduce the possibility of stacking one temporarycontract after another. Borlänge kommun makes themselves more flexible with theintermittent employments.
