Realtidssystem ställer hårda krav på dess ingående mjukvaras temporala beteende. Programmen måste bete sig deterministiskt och ge svar inom satta tidsgränser. Med hårda krav följer större behov av verktyg att testa koden med. WCET (Worst Case Execution Time)-analys har som mål att finna en övre gräns för ett programs exekveringstid. SWEET (SWEdish Execution Time) är ett verktyg för WCET-analys utvecklat av en forskargrupp vid Mälardalens Högskola.PowerPC är en klassisk processorarkitektur som utvecklades av Apple, Motorola och IBM och släpptes 1991.

AbstractFood and recuperation has a superior importance in human life and it is hard to deny thedistinction of the food in everyday life. Nutritious food gives energy to benefit activitiesof the day and influences on behavior and performance as well as well being. Themeaning of the terms meal and mealtime are key concepts in this study and the severalbeneficial aspects beyond the physiological function. Inadequate time for the mealmight provide degenerative consequences for individual health and generate outgoingsfor society. The aim of this study was that from an individual perspective describe workenvironment conditions for meals and recovery potential among employees withirregular working hours using mixed methods with both questionnaire and interviews.Four (4) airline employees participated.

Migration and giving birth are crucial decisions for animals during their life cycle, which may have lasting consequences on their population demography and fitness. Migration can entail a variety of possible effects for an individual, such as access to high quality food and reduced risk for predation. The moose (Alces alces) in northern Sweden is partially migratory and moose females are known to give birth to one or two calves. The synchrony between time of calving and timing of migration has not been compared before, especially in terms of energy maximizing and time minimizing perspectives, which may provide vital cues for fitness benefits of migration. I investigated effect of timing of birth and individual life history on distance, timing, stopovers and duration of 190 individually marked female moose that have been tracked for multiple years in ten different areas in northern Sweden.

Insjuknandet i hjärtinfarkt kommer ofta plötsligt och utan förvarning. Många som drabbas är friska sedan tidigare och insjuknandet innebär en förändrad livssituation för de drabbade. För kvinnor som drabbas av hjärtin- farkt är symtombilden ofta mer diffus än männens. Det medför svårigheter för kvinnorna att inse att de är sjuka och i behov av vård, vilket bidrar till att de söker vård senare än männen. Den försenade vården och behandlingen kan medföra sämre prognos för kvinnornas hjärtsjukdom.

AbstractThis study focuses on three generations of Kurdish women's view on honor. The study is a qualitative research based on three individual interviews. The aim of this study is to examine how three generations of immigrant women from a culture of honor is influenced over time by the majority culture and its values together with how these women affect each other mutually both consciously and unconsciously within the family. The study is based on two questions: What does"honor" mean to the three generations of women who are Muslim and Kurdish?

Results of this study have shown that the concept of honor has its focus on the woman's body, sexuality and chastity.

This study was carried out at the request of the bio energy company Naturbränsle. The company handles annually 750 000 m3 of chips from logging residues from a large area, from Östergötland in the south to Härjedalen in the north. In that area, about 50 bio fuel plants are customers. When Naturbränsle deliver chips from logging residues to their customers, the moisture content varies from 30 % to 60 %. The aim of the study was to sort out the affecting factors on the moisture content in the chips during handling and storage processes.

De senaste åren har skolsköterskans roll förändrats till att fokusera på att främja hälsa, i vilket det ingår att stödja barn med behov av särskilt stöd. Syftet med studien var att beskriva skolsköterskors upplevelse av att stödja barn med särskilda behov i grundskolan. Datainsamling gjordes genom semistrukturerade intervjuer med sju skolsköterskor. Tematisk innehållsanalys användes för att analysera intervjutexten och resulterade i två teman: Att uppmärksamma barnen på deras villkor och Att vid varje möte alltid vara närvarande. Temat: Att uppmärksamma barnen på deras villkor hade två kategorier: Att arbeta för alla barns hälsa och lika värde; Att samarbeta för att stödja alla barn att nå sina mål.

Bakgrund: Varje år drabbas många föräldrar av stor sorg när deras barn får obotlig cancer. Föräldrarna glömmer sina egna behov och prioriterar istället barnets, vilket kan leda till en psykisk ohälsa hos föräldrarna. Som sjuksköterska handlar det om att få insikt och kunskap om föräldrarnas situation för att kunna hjälpa och stötta dem på bästa sätt. Målet är att föräldrarna ska ha en stabil psykisk hälsa och på så vis vara starka i sin föräldraroll.Syfte: Syftet med studien var att beskriva föräldrarnas upplevelser av att leva med ett barn som drabbats av obotlig cancer.Metod: En kvalitativ deskriptiv litteraturstudie gjordes. Sex självbiografier, som var skrivna ur föräldrarnas perspektiv, analyserades med hjälp av innehållsanalys.Resultat: Det bildades tre kategorier och sex underkategorier: psykiskt och fysiskt påfrestande, att smärtsamt försöka närma sig det som kommer att hända - brist på kontroll, isolering till följd av förändrad roll i livet, en förnekelse som övergår i acceptans, att vara stark i sin föräldraroll - hoppet ger styrka, betydelsen av stöd, vikten av att finnas till hands.  Slutsats: Föräldrarnas livsvärld förändrades drastiskt och de kämpade mellan lidande och välbefinnande.

Trough the analyses of three young contemporary Swedish and Norwegian poets, who all in one way or another work with the language as material, I will circulate around the term language materialism. Each poet has his or her specific distinctive feature wich makes them three completely different poets. But they are all challenging the borders of literature and even the grammatical laws of language. Apart from the analyses I sketch an historical line between the predecessors of the experiments with the poetic language in the past, starting with Mallarmé, and the experiments of today. My essay will in conclusion discuss the language poetry in a wider philosophical point of view, connected to Derrida and Wittgenstein.The first analysis introduces the author and artist Johannes Heldén through his debute poetry collection Burner.

Denna uppsats har för avsikt att utreda begreppet Just-In-Time (JIT) och dess komponenter för att sedan försöka finna dessa i den svenska lastbilstillverkaren Scanias produktionssystem. Litteratur har bidragit med en definition av JIT som sedan har jämförts med hur Scania arbetar inom produktionen. Empiri har erhållits genom intervjuer med berörd personal samt observationer på plats i Oskarshamn och i Södertälje.För japanerna är inte Just-In-Time-tänket en ny företeelse utan det är något de har arbetat efter en längre tid. Denna uppsats har valt att utgå från Jeffrey K. Likers (2004) definition i The Toyota Way.

The aim of this study was to investigate the social behaviour and time budget of breedingbulls kept at VikingGenetics, Falkenberg in Sweden when the staff was off duty. It was ofinterest to see if there was any difference between bulls housed in group pens and bullshoused in individual pens. It was also of interest to investigate if there was any differencein the behaviour between the dairy breeds Swedish Red (SR) and Swedish Holstein (SH).Sixteen bulls were used in this study. Eight bulls kept in individual pens and eight bullskept in group pens were used. The individually housed bulls had a social gate with widerbars where the bulls could but their head and neck through to have social contact with thebulls in its neighbouring pens.

Purpose: The purpose of this qualitative study was to illuminate and analyze what girls with ADHD say they experienced during their school time. The study will also answer the questions of issues; how did the girls say they were treated by their teachers and classmates and which pedagogical experiences can we learn from their statements?Method: In order to investigate this, six semi structured interviews were carried out. I decided not to interview girls in their school age, but women with ADHD who has already graduated, since I believe it can be very sensitive for young girls to talk about the subject and they are not able to give the overall perspective on their school time that I was looking for.Result: The results of the interviews shows that all of the women felt misunderstood during their childhood and they all had bad experiences from school.Conclusion: One of the conclusions of this study is that there are not sufficiently knowledge about girls with ADHD and many of them are not diagnosed until they are grown up which leads to that the girls does not get the support they need in school..
