I mars 2012 tog SVT 1 bort sin bildpresentatör och ersatte den med en speakerröst och grafiska sekvenser i programskarvarna. Syftet med det här examensarbetet var att undersöka vilken betydelse programpresentationerna inom de här två formaten har för publiken.För att kunna besvara forskningsfrågan genomfördes två gestaltningar som var grunden för den kvantitativa undersökning som arbetet bottnade i. Den kompletterades med kvalitativa intervjuer för att få en så tydlig bild av varför respondenterna svarat som de gjort i detta aktuella ämne.Resultatet visade att publiken till en början tyckte bäst om att få informationen av en Hallåa, men efter de kvalitativa intervjuerna visade det sig att det första svaret berodde på gammal vana och att de nu tyckte bättre om det nya formatet då de efterfrågar snabbare TV. Resultatet visade också att innehållet mellan program är mycket identitetsskapande för tv-kanaler..

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka Peterhof och Drottningholm, två formella 16-1700-talsparker, i fråga om deras karakteristiska element och strukturer/övergripande planering. Peterhof och Drottningholm valdes som undersökningsobjekt eftersom båda parkerna har en anknytning till samma tid och en gemensam historia som respektive rikes kungliga parker. Det faktum att båda var exempel på parker långt från sina ursprungliga inspirationskällor har också gjort jämförelsen intressant att genomföra. Min metod är att jämföra parkerna genom att göra litteraturstudier och att på plats undersöka karakteristiska element, strukturer och övergripande planering. En tabell görs med hjälp av Anna-Maria Blennows Europas Trädgårdar (2009) och utgör grunden för vad som undersöks i de två parkerna.

To reduce emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technologieshave been developed. Chemical Looping Combustion (CLC) is a CO2 capture technologywith the CCS framework, and at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg,Sweden, a 100 kW chemical looping combustor has been built.This project aimed to investigate to what degree air can replace helium as the uidizinggas for uid dynamical studies in a CLC cold ow model of the above mentioned 100 kWfacility. Experiments were performed using air and helium separately as uidizing gas andpressure data were obtained, which formed the basis for the comparison. The project alsoaimed to investigate uid dynamics in the uidized bed and study when the risk of sluggingoccuring was greatest. The results were presented in the form of figures and tables dividedinto pressure, concentration and standard deviation of the pressure.The results obtained showed that air as uidizing gas did not create the same uid dynamicsas helium over the entire fuel reactor.

Swedish biogas is currently produced mainly by anaerobic digestion of sewage sludgeat sewage treatment plants, landfills and anaerobic digestion of household or industrialwaste. Also cattle ma-nure from farms can be used to produce biogas. Upgradingbiogas represents an increase in methane concentration from about 65 % to about 97%. In addition, particles and contaminants must be sepa-rated from the upgradedbiogas. There are various methods for upgrading and this report compares sixdifferent methods with respect to environment and economy: water scrubber,Biosling, cryo technology, chemical absorption, Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) andmembrane separation.According to the used ORWARE model, chemical adsorption with amine has the leastenvironmen-tal impact (methane emissions) and the lowest costs.

Research shows that people with burnout experience a high degree of impairments in a range of cognitive functions including memory, attention and concentration. The overall aim of the present study is to investigate whether there is a correlation between subjective estimates of cognition and cognitive performance with objective tests in people with burnout with a focus on working memory and executive functions. Three specific questions were addressed; First, what cognitive problems are described and to what degree? Second, is the performance of executive and working memory tests related to self-reported cognitive problems? Third, are the self-reported cognitive problems related to measures of psychological distress? The study included 77 patients, 65 women and 12 men, with a mean age of 43.48 years. The results show that patients with burnout perceive themselves as having significantly impaired cognition in everyday life, which is clearly evident on the basis of the self-assessment forms PRMQ and CFQ.

In the pulp industry, digesters are used to disolve lignin in wood chips. The concentration of lignin is measured and is called the Kappa number. In this thesis, the question of whether an online Kappa sensor, taking samples from the mid-phase of the digester, is useful or not is analyzed. For the samples to be useful, there has to be a relationship between the measured Kappa at the mid- phase and the measured Kappa in the blowpipe at the bottom of the digester. An ARX model of the lower part of the digester has been estimated.

Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) is a further development of the Six Sigma draft to carry through preventing quality measures in developing and designing of new products and processes. With increasing demands on enterprises development processes to be more safety and faster the need of DFSS arise as a product, process and service development concept in the organisations. Design for Six Sigma aims to improve and structure the development process of an organisation and consider the application of the innovation problem solving. The concept aims to leave the structure of the traditional Six Sigma concept and instead, from an innovative perspective, search for new solutions to existing problems. The concept constitute of a toolbox with a lot of quality tools that are divided into phases in a development model.

The aim of this undergraduate thesis was to explore how the welfare officers at palliative units in Stockholm respond to the patients? thoughts and experiences during the last phase of life, as well as exploring their picture of the patients experiences. The research questions of the study were:? How do the welfare officers relate to the patients? experience of their death? ? In what way do the welfare officers respond to the dying patient and his or her experiences?? What knowledge/experience do the welfare officers have and what knowledge/experience do they consider is needed in their profession?To answer the research questions a qualitative method was used where five welfare officers in three different palliative units were interviewed. The empirical material was analysed through meaning concentration and are presented using exact quotations.

Den här uppsatsen handlar om unga vuxnas identitetsskapande i dagens västerländska samhälle. Via två uttryck - kläder och kulturkonsumtion - undersöker jag hur individen bygger upp sin identitet och kommunicerar den till omvärlden. Mitt syfte är att undersöka hur stil och smak (i kläder och kulturkonsumtion) utgör meningsbärande komponenter i det egna identitetsskapandet. Stil och smak utgör två viktiga element, eftersom det är genom dessa begrepp som individen avgränsar och definierar både sig själv och andra. I den avslutande diskussionen utgår jag vidare från Ziehes teorier och analyserar sambandet mellan de ungas jakt på identitet och dagens omvälvande samhällsförhållanden.

There is a need for correct and adequate pain assessment in horses. Methadone is used in pain management in horses but the full pharmacokinetic picture of methadone is not yet known. The aim of this pilot study was to develop a behaviour protocol and suggest a reliable recording method for use in a larger research project with an aim to potentially correlate behaviours to concentration of methadone in blood. In this study two coldblooded trotters were given methadone intravenously with doses of 0.1 mg/kg for horse 1 and 0.2 mg/kg for horse 2. The horses were videotaped pre and post methadone administration.

Idag existerar det inga produkter på marknaden för att objektivt kunna mäta radiokarpalledens styrka vid extensionen. Små skador på radiokarpalleden har stor inverkan på den enskilde individen. Syftet med detta projekt är att utveckla en grundläggande lösning för att objektivt mäta kraften i handleden (radiokarpalleden). Arbetsmetoden har följt principkonstruktionsmetoden i produktutveckling (F.Olsson, 1995). Viktningsverktyget har använts för att jämföra och ranka lösningsidéer mot varandra.

Denna uppsats undersöker hur personer med funktionsnedsättning porträtteras i svensk barnlitteratur. Metoden som använts är innehållsanalys av kvalitativ art där undersökningsmaterialet består av barnlitterära verk som innehåller personer med funktionsnedsättning som publicerats i Sverige under åren 2000 till 2012. De centrala frågeställningarna handlar om hur bilden av personer med funktionsnedsättning ser ut i dessa verk samt huruvida det går att finna några stereotyper i dessa moderna barnböcker. Resultatet visar att den undersökta litteraturen med några få undantag ger en nyanserad och positiv bild av personer med funktionsnedsättning. Dessa undantag består oftast av ett mindre element i berättelsen och har inte en framträdande roll i skildringen..
