The project has involved the development of two kinds of shooting targets in partnership with Marcus Bergkvist and Christopher Åkerblom. The project from the client was divided into two parts. This thesis discusses solutions for hands-on transport, development of tripods and an overall design. The second thesis affect resetting systems for the products.The work was done with a process and methodology based on design perspectives. This process has involved the search of relevant data which has provided the platform and opportunity for appropriate and purposeful design work.Concept development has been done using hand sketches and Photoshop, where a simple visualization of different concepts for the tripods has been produced.

Enkäter används flitigt idag. Spector (1994) menade att endast en liten del av den förklarade variansen i enkäter utgörs av det som önskas mäta. Bryggan mellan respondenten och enkäten är språket. Enligt Whorf-Safir hypotesen styrs våra tankar av språket. Semin och Fiedler (1988) menade att ordklasserna har olika abstraktionsnivåer.

How do you summarize the content of a fictional work, let?s sayLord of the Rings, into a few "telling" words that may represent it? This master?s thesis is a comparative study of how library users? freely chosen tags/keywords deviate from controlled vocabulary made by professional indexers when representing fiction. The thesis answers four main questions:? Do the tags that the library users give fictional works correspond to the categories used in professional indexing in Sweden?? Do the tags follow the standards for vocabulary, semantics and syntax used when indexing professionally?? Do the tags add something to document representations?? Are there differences between the tags used for adult fiction and the tags used for children?s literature?With a starting point in indexing theories of Frederick W. Lancaster, Annelise Pejtersen, and the semiotic theory of the indexing process of Jens-Erik Mai, 383 tags from totally 70 fictional works are analyzed.

I denna uppsats undersöks hur svenska översättare av engelska garantiavtal gårtillväga vid översättningen av shall och must. Problematiken kring användningen avshall i engelsk juridisk text är mycket omdiskuterad, och i denna uppsats ser jagnärmare på hur denna problematik påverkar översättare. Utifrån begreppen källspråksorienteringoch målspråksorientering undersöks hur översättarna hanterarshall och must i fyra översättningar av engelska garantiavtal. Resultaten visar att idet avtal där shall används både för att uttrycka förpliktelse och i den icke-rekommenderadeanvändningen i konstitutiva regler, så håller sig översättaren källspråksorienterattrogen originaltexten och översättaren överför på så sätt den icke-rekommenderadeanvändningen av shall. I de avtal där shall inte används för att uttryckapositiv förpliktelse går istället översättaren mer målspråksorienterat till väga.

In order to rescue a distressed submarine crew, the Swedish Navy is able to use a deep submergence rescue vehicle, DSRV. This mini submarine ascends, docks to the downed submarine and picks up the whole crew. The submarine rescue ship HMS Belos has a special crane located in the aft of the ship to lift the surfaced DSRV aboard, which then docks on to the on board pressure chambers located below deck. During inspections the aforementioned crane has shown to have problems with cracks in the structure, most of them located in the bolted joint between the top part of the crane and the two leg parts. A simulation of the forces acting on the structure in heavy sea condition was conducted; these values were then used as input values in a Finite Element Method, FEM, analysis of the joint.

This study is a research on how dystopian features are expressed within different genres. The purpose is to discuss films that contain dystopian features in relation to genre and to examine if there are shared conventions in the films that can make dystopia a film genre on its own. The theoretical base includes genre theory and Rick Altman?s semantic/syntactic approach to film genre. Five films from different genres, all produced within the time period of 2000-2010, are analyzed with a semantic/syntactic approach to genre and then discussed in relation to dystopia and prior research.

Studiens syfte a?r att underso?ka huruvida det finns skriftspra?kliga skillnader mellan texter skrivna inom ramen fo?r det nationella provet och texter fo?rfattade under annan skoltid. Fra?gesta?llningarna har varit: Vilka spra?kliga skillnader ga?r att se i ja?mfo?relse av elevers texter fra?n nationella provet och lektionstexter pa? tre spra?kliga niva?er (o?vergripande niva?, menings- och ordniva?). Materialet besta?r av 38 elevtexter varav 20 uppsatser a?r fra?n nationella provet ht-11 i svenska 1 och 18 debattartiklar som 18 av dessa 20 elever skrivit i samma kurs.

Aqeri has since the past year a new profile with name and logotype, which has createda need for an updated visual product identity. The company is a leading developer,producer and distributer of IT products suitable for extreme environments in industry,defense and vehicles. This new profile with the different segments has together with aproduct identity from two companies resulted in that they have no clear designidentity on their products. From this background the aim of this research is todetermine how a development of a design identity is done to implement it to Aqeri.The design identity can be defined as a product?s identity visualized through its formor appearance which defines what the product is.

In motorsports competition, safety reasons require that the vehicle is equipped with some form of protective roll cage. The roll cage should withstand the forces involved in a collision to protect the driver and the co-driver from the vehicle body deformation. The roll cage also works to protect the vehicle from excessive deformations to more easily make any repairs afterwards. For the roll cage to be certified and approved for motorsports competition, it requires that the cage is built after one of the recommended options. One of those options is to design the roll cage like a cross-construction at the driver and co-driver doors.

Harmonics are a well-known problem that has to be dealt with in the design of thegenerator. Internationally accepted standards limits the amount of harmonics allowedin the no-load voltage. These limits can be difficult to fulfill with integral slot winding,where the number of slots per pole and phase is an integer. The presence of thedamper winding often makes the problem with harmonics even worse and harmonicswith frequencies of order 6q±1 arise with significant amplitude. How the damperwinding is designed affect the content of harmonics in the no-load voltage and the aimwith these ? has been to investigate in which extent design of the damper windingaffects the contents of harmonics.Simulations with the 2-D finite element method have showed that if the damper barsis centered in the pole shoe, the amplitude of the harmonics of order 6q±1dependsboth on the ratio between the stator slot pitch and damper bars slot pitch and if thedamper bars are connected between the poles or not.If the damper bars is displaced with ¼ stator slot pitch alternately, the amplitude ofthe harmonics of order 6q±1 is reduced and the influence of the ratio between thestator slot pitch and the damper bars slot pitch will vanish.

Uppsatsens syfte är att, genom textanalys, undersöka en broschyr från Socialtjänsten i Umeå kommun för att se om den följer Umeå kommuns riktlinjer för klarspråk. Metoden är en läsbarhetsanalys, där Umeå kommuns kommunikationshandbok styr vad som undersöks. Resultatet pekar på att broschyren uppfyller vissa av handbokens riktlinjer för klarspråk, som de olika riktlinjerna för skrivregler: svenska ordformer istället för engelska, moderna och enkla ord istället för äldre formella och undvikande av skrytfenor och modeord. Broschyren lyckas också förklara de termer som finns med. Andra riktlinjer från handboken lyckas broschyren inte uppfylla i samma utsträckning.

This master thesis is intended to give an increased understanding of the stress state in an axle, which is assembled in one of Atlas Copco?s mountain drilling rigs. The main problems investigated were how the axle is affected when the bearing is worn, when the pretension is varied, and how to dimension the axle. Answers to these questions were found by using hand calculations, practical testing and with Finite Element analyzes. The dimensioning of the axle is currently based on the bending stress, but the author?s opinion is that the axle should be dimensioned considering the equivalent stress.

Genom att undersöka aspekterna kongruensböjning av adjektiv efter naturligt genus, yrkestitlar och generisk användning av han vill jag med denna uppsats utreda om svenskan är på väg mot könsneutralitet under en tidsperiod på cirka 40 år. Mer specifikt kan sägas att jag med mina undersökningar ville kontrollera om kongruensböjning av adjektiv efter naturligt genus verkar avta, om yrkestitlar i mindre omfattning än tidigare inkluderar kön och om generisk användning av han ser ut att ersättas av den i svenska lagtexter.Jag har använt mig av korpusar som finns att tillgå på Språkbanken på Göteborgs universitets hemsida för mina undersökningar, där materialet i den äldsta korpusen är från 1965.Min hypotes är att svenskan är på väg mot könsneutralitet, vilket i stort sett verkar stämma överrens med mina resultat. Det jag har fått fram för kongruensböjning av adjektiv efter naturligt genus är ändelsen ?a används allt oftare, även i kombination med maskulinum, medan bruket av ändelsen ?e verkar minska. För yrkestitlar visar mina undersökningar att det ursprungligen "inbyggda" könet i stort sett blir mindre betydande.

There is no general aging process therefore should health efforts directed at elderly population based on each individual as a unique person with specific needs. When aging becomes a fact not generally decrease the lust and the desire to be active but it is perhaps more about the body's ability to keep up on what the head wants. Therefore the range of activities towards the elderly population requires some adjustment that can partly be achieved by taking some of the older people?s experiences. The purpose of this study was that by the older people?s experiences of organized activities in a social context to illustrate how they perceive their participation.

The task was to deliver a solution that could be implemented in today?s production of the FH truck. To make the project successful it was most important that the end result had a high maturity level. For that reason an analysis of ergonomic, laws and regulations, and possible materials where conducted. To show that this project is profitable and can be realized a ruff cost estimated of material and tools is added to the research.
