Stormwater from trafficked areas often contains high pollution levels. In traditional stormwater management design, stormwater is first transported away through piped networks, and then in most cases passes through oil separators before finally reaching the recipients. While this traditional method removes certain pollutants from the stormwater, it does not reduce the total flow, as in the case of ecological stormwater management. In the ecological method the stormwater is not simply transported away, but is recirculated through infiltration, percolation, and detention. The aim of this study is to investigate possible advantages of ecological management designs, in contrast to traditional management.

Arbetets syfte är att undersöka hur användandet av dynamisk svårighet i jämförelse mot användningen av statiska svårighetsgrader påverkar ett casualspels återspelningsvärde och huruvida spelare upplever inlärningskurvan annorlunda. De teorier som ligger grund för arbetet fokuserar kring två områden, där det ena är hur dynamisk svårighet utformas på bästa sätt och vilka fördelar det skulle kunna bidra med. Det andra kretsar kring casualspel och varför casualspel har haft den framgång och vad det är som tilltalar spelare att spela dem samt vad det är som ger spel återspelningsvärde och väl utformade inlärningskurvor. För att utföra undersökningen har två versioner av ett casualspel, vars spelmekanik fokuserar runt skrivhastighet på tangentbord, utvecklats där den ena använder sig av dynamisk svårighet medan den andra använder sig av tre statiska svårighetsgrader. Resultatet från undersökningen visar inte på ett direkt samband att dynamisk svårighet skulle ge ett spel högre återspelningsvärde men att några av de problem som uppstår vid statiska svårighetsgrader kan lösas.

The purpose of this project was to investigate if retention of polar compounds that are given to treat tuberculosis, diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease and childhood leukemia could be obtained with HILIC separation. By varying different parameters for different types of columns the compounds were analyzed with the aim of finding guidelines for future method optimizations. To perform these analyzes three different columns were tested ? ZIC-HILIC (silica-based with zwitterions), ZIC-pHILIC (polymer-based with zwitterions) and XBridge Amide (amide functions). The results were evaluated with selected quality measures.

Social media, with its immense and continuous flow of information, has in recent years growntremendously in terms of users and content. This increase has led companies and organizations keen to be seen within these channels of communication, but do they always have a clear idea of how andwhy, and are they aware of the risks that are associated with it? Current research on social media is somewhat divided in two. The debate concerns, among other things, what value the information on social media has, and whether the media is really a good communication channel or not. This raises several questions, for example can a company really afford to remain outside of social media with allthe information it generates? This research aims at answering these questions in order to further understand how organizations discuss social media presence and strategies.

In this paper we have looked closer on a car-retailer in the middle of Sweden. We have chosen to dig deeper in the different problems that can occur, related to the supply. Soon we realized that that the problems weren?t related to stock management. Through studying the whole of the company, we have identified reasons to why details aren?t in the stock.

Syftet med uppsatsen är att presentera utvalda teoretiska modeller i litteratur inom Upplevelseproduktion, samt att genom en produktion testa huruvida dessa teorier är relevanta. Syftet är även att undersöka karaktären hos gästens eventuella upplevelse vid produktionen för att avgöra om de teoretiska modellerna även gjort upplevelsen meningsfull för gästen. Med ett hermeneutiskt förhållningssätt och en deduktiv ansats har vi med hjälp av ett antal teoretiska modeller först planerat och sedan genomfört en reell produktion vid namn Rock n? roll Piteå och med det som grund gjort en kvalitativ intervjustudie baserad på tre fokusgrupper. Endast individen kan avgöra om en upplevelse varit meningsfull, då detta är subjektivt, men med stöd i det resultat fokusgruppintervjuerna visat kan vi konstatera att det för en stor del av informanterna varit en meningsfull upplevelse.

The companies of today figures on a hardly competitive market. This makes it necessary for the company to find new way to create competition advantages. Since it is no longer enough to compete with the technical quality of the product the companies are forced to also enhance the functional quality. To accomplish this it becomes necessary for producing companies to be customer oriented. A customer oriented company culture can be reached with the help of internal marketing in which different activities work to inform and teach the employees about the company strategy and also about their own role as part-time marketers.This thesis examines Electrolux, a company which is currently striving to develop a customer oriented company culture.

It is important that the current urine separating systems are evaluated to allow improvements to be made and consequently increase their future propagation. In order to increase the knowledge about urine separating systems this study was made. It included, among other things, measurements of amounts of urine as well as of the composition of urine collected at Nytorgsgatan 4 in the city of Hallsberg. The study was increased after an inquiry that also included the district of Understenshöjden in the city of Stockholm. In the inquiry, the users were asked questions about odour, cleaning of toilets and occurrence of blockages in the urine water locks etc.

The last few years a lot of media air time has been devoted to training, sports, health and weightloss on a more personal level then before. The new media arena is beeing used at its´ maximumto broadcast wievs on how we should eat, look, exercise and live. This thesis is trying to makebetter understanding on what people in general think is important when it comes to physicaltraining and motivation with the aid of digital media and IT systems. The thesis describes aworkshop that was conducted within the frames of Participatory Design and the outcome of thatworkshop. The workshop was conducted with a group of lead users (in this case instructors at avery large fitness center in Umeå, Sweden) and the main question was ?How can IT be used toachive a positive effect on physical exercise if motivation is the focus??.

Almost for as long as there has been breeding on bovine species, there has been a wish to have a higher proportion of offspring of either one or the other gender. In dairy cattle, heifers are more valuable, while in beef stock bulls are preferred. Semen is sorted based on the difference in DNA content between the X- and Y-chromosome in the genome of the sperm. X-chromosomes contain on average between 3,70 to 4,22% more genetic material than the Y-chromosome. Commercially it is the method of flow cytometry that is being used, which is always under improvement.

Denna uppsatts består av en kvantitative enkät studie som genomfördes på två högstadieskolor i mellan Sverige under våren 2012. Syftet med uppsatsen är att få en inblick i vad som ligger bakom elevers val av fritidsaktiviteter och då mer precis val av fysisk aktivitet samt att undersöka skolans, och då främst ämnet idrotts och hälsas, roll i elevernas val av aktivitet. Bakgrunden till rapporten kommer från formuleringarna ur lpo 94 och lgr 11 som betonar att ett syfte med ämnet är att främja Idrott och hälsa ämnets uppgift att främja fysisk aktivitet på fritiden. Vi analyserar tidigare forskning som bland annat har undersökt den störta föreningsidrotten som utgörs i Sverige och vad det kan finnas för faktorer till att ungdomar utför den. Tidigare forskning som används i rapporten är bland annat från venska riksidrottsförbundet och ungdomsstyrelsens rapport om unga och föreningsidrotten.

Title: Teaching environment and teachers. A study of how music education philosophies influence instrumental teaching and learning at a community music school. Question of the research: Which Music philosophical ideas can be traced in the instrumental teaching of a community music school? Two teachers and their students have been videotaped. Data from the tapes and from interviews with the teachers and students have been analyzed by means of a category system, which grew out of the theoretical overview.

The aim of this thesis is to examine how different kinds of information seekers are evaluating information quality in the information flow online. To address the problem stated, qualitative interviews were carried out with a librarian as a reference person and a group consisting of journalists and scientists. The result of the study implies that the reference person is well aware of the strategies employed by her in the search process. However, the respondents are not aware of the strategies they are actually using. An explanation is the respondents lack of education in information seeking.

The area of Lycksabäcken northwest of Lycksele is a national interest of natural conservationbecause of its geological values with many unique landforms. Many of these landforms indicatethat the deglaciation process in the area was very complex. However, the deglaciation process inthe area has not previously been fully understood. The aim is to add to the knowledge of theevents that took place during the last deglaciation. To do this, the glaciofluvial landforms in thearea were mapped by studying aerial photographs with a Wild Aviopreter and a five-day fieldinventory of key areas for the interpretation.

A water treatment unit consisting of two aeration basins, two settling tanks, a residence basinand a horizontal subsurface flow wetland were used to treat wastewater from an eggprocessing factory in Brazil. The aim of this paper was to determine the efficiency of thesystem in reducing nitrogen, phosphorus, BOD5 and TSS (among other parameters) andgetting a further understanding on different kinds of constructed treatment wetlands as well astheir nitrogen and phosphorus removal processes. The wastewater from the factory consistedof process water from manufacturing and water used for cleaning, no stormwater or sewagewater entered the system. Tests were taken three times a month from October 2013 ?til April2014.
