PDF-files are to become a native file format in all prepress supplier workflows during 2006. This will give an opportunity to automate and develop a more stream lined prepress workflow. It is desirable to secure digital files by preflight the files early in the process. The objective with this project is therefore to find software that can automate parts of the preflight process and also to build up a well-functioning preflight workflow for preflighting both PDF-files and native files.Meetings have been held with preflight suppliers to find a solution for how to automate parts of the preflight in the prepress workflow. Seven preflight software companies demonstrated the possibilities with their products and four of these were chosen for continuing working with.

This master?s thesis seeks to examine how a public library use the intranet with regards to the possibilities that today?s intranet technology offer ? especially concerning functionalities that support information, communication and knowledge exchange in the organization. The purpose of the study is to investigate how employees in one specific public library perceive and use the intranet in their daily work. The theoretical framework takes its point of departure in two complementing models regarding the implementation, development and management of intranets and a model of a multi perspective view of the intranet as a shared information space for content, communication and collaboration. The study is based on interviews with eleven of the intranet users, whom with the aid of an interview guide have been asked questions regarding goals, implementation, content, design, applications and advantages/disadvantages with the intranet.

Syftet med föreliggande kandidatuppsats har varit att utifrÄn forskning om riskfaktorer, redogöra för vilka riskfaktorer gÀrningsmÀn har som utövar dödligt vÄld mot en kvinna i en nÀra relation. En nationell och internationell forskningsöversikt genomfördes samt en kvantitativ innehÄllsanalys av tio domslut frÄn olika TingsrÀtter i Sverige. Sammantaget sÄ visar nationell och internationell forskning att de vanligaste riskfaktorerna för dödligt vÄld Àr separationsproblematik hos gÀrningsmannen, drog/alkoholmissbruk, tidigare utsatt offret för partnervÄld, samt arbetslöshet. InnehÄllsanalysen av domsluten bekrÀftar den vetenskapliga forskningen dÀr de vanligaste riskfaktorerna för brottet Àr en problemfylld relation, utsatt offret för tidigare hot om vÄld, kontrollbehov, separationsproblematik samt sexuell svartsjuka. Mer forskning efterfrÄgas kring depression hos gÀrningsmannen vid brottet, som bÄde litteraturgenomgÄngen och innehÄllsanalysen visade vara en riskfaktor. Ytterligare forskning efterfrÄgas ocksÄ om styvbarn och hög Äldersskillnad mellan offer och gÀrningsman, som den internationella forskningen visade verka som riskfaktorer.

Introduction: The work process of a consultant can be divided into five different stages, where the entry stage is the most important when linking the subject to legitimacy. A great deal of research regarding legitimacy exists, although within areas outside of consulting. Through examining consultant's and potential client's perception of what legitimacy is and how it is created we can determine the importance of the phenomena in building a business relationship between these parties. Research question: How does legitimacy arise between a consultant and a client in the entry stage of a work relationship? Purpose: The purpose of this study is to develop a deeper understanding of how legitimacy is created in the initial stage of a new consultant/client relationship. We also intend to examine the qualities and circumstances which lead to a consultant to acquire an assignment. Method: We have, from an inductive approach of research, collected empirical data in order to gain a deeper understanding of legitimacy in the initial stage of a consultant/client relationship.

Mobbning kan förekomma i olika former som fysisk, psykisk och verbal. MÄnga förknippar utseende som en orsak till mobbning, men studier visar att utseende anvÀnds i mobbning, men det Àr inte en orsak. De som utsÀtts för mobbning har ofta lÀgre sjÀlvkÀnsla Àn de som mobbar, vilket gör att de blir ?lÀtta offer?. Mobbning Àr ett vÀl utbrett problem i vÀrlden och prevalensen för mobbning ser olika ut mellan lÀnderna.

Damhockeyspelare hyllas inte lika ofta som herrhockeyspelare i sportmedia. Tidigare forskning tyder istÀllet pÄ att damidrottare oavsett sport sexualiseras och trivialiseras. Den hÀr studien har undersökt hur svensk sportmedia konstruerar damhockey, specifikt i relation till herrhockey. Det teoretiska ramverket utgick frÄn diskursteori och genusteori. Med hjÀlp av diskursanalys undersöktes artiklar, bloggar och krönikor ur tvÄ kvÀllstidningar, tvÄ TV-kanaler och Svensk Radios sportsektion.

Resultatet analyseras och diskuteras ur ettsocialkonstruktivistiskt perspektiv, med teorier och begrepp som det ideala offret och denideala förövaren, genus och makt.Det jag har kunnat pÄvisa med studien Àr att vÄld i nÀra relationer Àr nÄgonting bÄde kvinnoroch mÀn faller offer för i ett heterosexuellt förhÄllande. MÀn och kvinnor Àr sÄledes likabenÀgna att begÄ partnerrelaterat vÄld.

The purpose of this report was to study how the Swedish radio channel Sveriges Radio (SR) website changed over time. What are the differences between various media websites?

Several theoreticians have been studied, including Donald A Norman, Jonas Löwgren, Karen Holtzbratt, Jacob Nielsen and Geoffrey Moore.The method used by the author comprised a systematic mapping of statistics from webTrends, KiaIndex, SiteCensus, TNS Gallup/K2analys and reports from RUAB. The data studied have been collected from telephone interviews, postal surveys, internet panels, and from log files.

On the 15th of May 2011 the former leader of the International Monetary Fund, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, was accused of sexually assaulting a maid in a hotel room in New York. Strauss-Kahn was cleared of all charges on the 23rd of August 2011 since it could not be proven that he had forced the maid to have sexual relations with him.The purpose of this study is to examine how the case was framed in two Swedish newspapers, Svenska Dagbladet and Aftonbladet. Svenska Dagbladet is a broadsheet newspaper and Aftonbladet is a tabloid newspaper. The purpose of this study is also to find differences and similarities in the framing of the case in broadsheet newspapers and tabloid newspapers.The study is primarily based on two different theories; the framing theory and the tabloidization theory. The method used is critical discourse analysis based on van Dijks theories and methods.

The purpose of this degree-project was to investigate the possibilities for primary air preheating into the two smallest waste incineration boilers of Halmstad Energy and Environment. The investigation is a pre-study which has the primary goal to evaluate technical and financial offers from companies that manufacture primary air preheater, and investigate if it is technically and financially profitable to do a purchase on primary air preheaters in the future.In the pre-study it is proposed that it is most efficient to have individual primary air preheater, one for each incineration boiler and the primary air are also proposed to be preheated by hot water in the pre-study. Further in the pre-study it is proposed that the heat-exchanger should have plain tubes instead of finned tubes, to avoid getting dirty fast. The space in the boiler-room is limited, and therefore the major problem was to fit in the primary air preheaters into the boiler-room. By comparing the different offers from the companies, the result in the pre-study shows that the offer from the company C.A.
