In the light of new technology health care is now given the opportunity to form a more mobile way of working that would bring about potential gains in terms of efficiency and quality. On the other hand, a more mobile health care also requires a more generous handling of personal information, something that may raise issues in terms of privacy. This study shows that the privacy of the patient requires two things: (i) that the personal information of the patient is handled in a way that generates her an overall positive expected utility and that (ii) the negative expected utility that each risk of an information leakage causes is offset by the expected utility it also makes possible. The first requirement (i) is shown, in comparison with today?s way of working, to be met due to the potential gains in efficiency and quality in combination with no increase in the probability of informational leakage or negative effects of such a leakage. The second requirement (ii) was also considered met since no separate risks of information leakage could be identified that was not offset by the gains it made possible in terms of expected utility..

The purpose of this article has been to elucidate social secretaries? and teachers? experiences of collaboration around children in need of society?s intervention. We wanted to examine what the difficulties could be, according to their experience, and how they handled them. Additionally our aim was to analyze whether their method of dealing with the obstacles were likely to succeed, viewed from the perspective of system theory. In order to achieve our purpose we used a qualitative method and interviewed four social secretaries and four teachers.

Just how far is it possible to make learning of new parts for recognition and robot picking autonomous? This thesis initially gives the prerequisites for the steps in learning and calibration that are to be automated. Among these tasks are to select a suitable part model from numerous candidates with the help of a new part segmenter, as well as computing the spatial extent of this part, facilitating robotic collision handling. Other tasks are to analyze the part model in order to highlight correct and suitable edge segments for increasing pattern matching certainty, and to choose appropriate acceptance levels for pattern matching. Furthermore, tasks deal with simplifying camera calibration by analyzing the calibration pattern, as well as compensating for differences in perspective at great depth variations, by calculating the centre of perspective of the image.

Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka matematiklärares uppfattningar om vilka styrkor och svårigheter elever inom autismspektrumtillstånd (AST) uppvisar beträffande problemlös-ning i matematik i åk 6-9 och hur lärarna anser att undervisning kan bedrivas för att eleverna ska nå målen inom området i åk 9.Teori: Studien utgår från ett sociokulturellt perspektiv, där kommunikativa processer är cen-trala i mänskligt lärande och utveckling (Säljö, 2000). I det sociokulturella perspektivet är lärande en aspekt av all mänsklig verksamhet; i varje samtal, handling eller händelse finns en möjlighet att erhålla någonting som man kan använda sig av i framtiden. Lärande blir i den meningen således vad individ och kollektiv tar med sig från sociala situationer, genom inter-aktion mellan människor och vad man brukar i framtiden. Initialt verkar kunskap i samspel människor emellan och blir därefter en del av den enskilde individen och hans eller hennes tänkande alternativt handling (ibid.).Metod: Studien utgår från en kvalitativ forskningsansats, där halvstrukturerade intervjuer har använts som datainsamlingsmetod. Intentionen med den metod som valts är att kunna beskri-va lärares egna uppfattningar om förutsättningar för lärande beträffande problemlösning i ma-tematik för elever med diagnos inom AST.

Studien belyser ett aktionsforskningsinriktat utvecklingsarbete som iscensattes och genomfördes på tre avdelningar i en svensk förskola under september, oktober och november 2010. Matematik, lek samt samtalsklimatet var de områden som de tio medverkande pedagogerna valde att utveckla. Fallstudien har koppling till specialpedagogik med emfas på att skapa ett förebyggande arbete genom att kontinuerligt dokumentera, följa upp och utveckla förskolans verksamhet för att ge bästa möjliga förutsättningar för utveckling och lärande utifrån barns olika förutsättningar och behov. Det övergripande syftet har varit att i samverkan mellan forskare och pedagoger beskriva ett aktionsforskningsinriktat utvecklingsarbete i en förskolas verksamhet samt att analysera och tolka det beskrivna utvecklingsarbetet. Syftet har också varit att belysa de deltagande pedagogernas uppfattningar av vilka förändringar som ägde rum i verksamheten samt hur och varför förändringarna ägde rum.

At this point seamen have a lot of tasks of administrative character, beyond the traditional tasks aboard a ship. Due to the new conventions that are formed by IMO, more requirements are added which often lead to time consuming administrative tasks and documentation that should be spent on activities which are contributing to the ships safety. The issue has been observed by IMO that has through BIMCO done a study with the aim to identify and reduce administrative burdens at sea.The primary aim of this study is to find out if safety officers aboard Swedish ferries consider that SOLAS Chapter III, 8.3 och 19.5 regulations are administrative burdens, restricted to muster lists and documentation of training aboard the ship.The secondary questions to the study are if it is possible to remove, combine or change the documents and how much time can be saved by doing this. The question about timesaving could not be answered, because the values were scattered and could not be used for further investigation. The observed values were accumulated by a survey and the result indicated that safety officers did not experience the two regulations as administrative burdens.

Under vår förskollärarutbildning på Högskolan i Kristianstad har vi reflekterat över hur viktigt det är som pedagog att vara medveten om sitt förhållningssätt. Som vuxna är vi förebilder för barn, vilket innebär att hur vi för oss och agerar har betydelse och stor inverkar i barns liv. Mötet med alla barn i vardagen blir av betydelse för hur den vidare kontakten fortlöper, därför är barns olikheter i allmänhet av intresse att uppmärksamma och därför känns angeläget att skriva om.Vi vill tacka våra fyra pilotpersoner, samt våra åtta intervjupersoner som var villiga att ställa upp och delge sig av sina erfarenheter och tankar kring barns olikheter. Ett ödmjukt tack riktar vi till vår fantastiska handledare Lena Jensen som trodde på oss, samt stöttade oss fast tiden var knapp. Till slut vill vi även tacka varandra för det stöd och de givande diskussioner vi haft, en styrka för oss är att vi har kompletterat varandra bra i tanke och handling vilket har bidragit till detta examensarbete..

The purpose of this report is to study the risk of dust explosions at the candy manufacturing plant Leaf Sverige in Gävle, Sweden. The risk analysis was conducted with a preliminary hazard analysis, PHA and event trees. The analysis focuses only on the risk posed to employees and material damages at the plant. No third person injuries have been considered. Another purpose of this report is to study risk awareness and risk communication concerning dust explosions.

The domain of this thesis is Personal Information Management (PIM) which is a sub-domain to human-computer interaction (HCI) that specifically concerns the interaction between human and information. The purpose of the study is to make an exploration of information management in a scientific research setting, to study which tools and strategies for information interaction that are used in the context and to suggest possible improvements of today's practices. Three in-depth interviews with scientific researchers have been conducted followed by a qualitative analysis of the results. The results show that there are great variations among the three respondents and that there can be distinguished as much as 15 different dimensions that when put together forms a unique PIM profile for each individual. The recommendation following this is that tools for PIM have to allow a high degree of individualisation.

In this study I have compared two systems of handling TMR, self-propelled/ self loading mixers and conventional towed mixers, what has been investigated is the time for filling, mixing and feeding TMR as well as maintenance and fuel consumption. The background of this study is the structural rationalization within the Swedish milk production that has put focus on efficiency and reducing of costs. Forage and labour are the two biggest costs in milk production today. The study has been performed by visiting three farms and with a stopwatch measured the times for filling, mixing and feeding TMR. At the time for the visits, the users have been interviewed regarding maintenance and fuel consumption. They have also had an opportunity to give comments of how they experience the mixers. The result of the study after processing is that the average stock in the study can save 74000 SEK a year by reducing time for filling, mixing and feeding TMR to cows with a self propelled/ self loading mixer . The conclusion I can make of this study is that it?s not the size of the stock that decides whether it?s interesting to invest in a self propelled/ self loading mixer, but the presumptions on the farms, for instance forage logistics and mechanical equipment..

Enligt lag är samtliga aktiebolag skyldiga att upprätta en årsredovisning. Det medför att även de allra minsta företagen måste upprätta denna handling.  Detta kan medföra stora kostnader för småföretagarna och många arbetstimmar för revisorerna. Vi valde att studera små aktiebolag med färre än elva anställa. Utifrån detta ifrågasatte vi vilken nytta småföretagarna har av denna handling. Denna diskussion utmynnade i vår problemformulering och vårt syfteI vilken utsträckning använder småföretagare årsredovisningsinformationen för ekonomisk styrning inom företaget och i vilken utsträckning nyttjar småföretagarna revisionsbyråerna för ekonomisk rådgivning.Syftet med studie är att analysera småföretagares förhållningssätt till ekonomisk styrning med hjälp av årsredovisningsinformationen.
