In 2013 a new emission standard for heavy trucks was introduced and hence a number of new parts was brought in to Scania CV AB. This created a need for modifications in the silencers flow. The flow is highly complex involving several suppliers, call off methods and different models of silencers. The aim for this project was to improve the existing silencers flow. The flow, from supplier to assembling, has therefore been mapped.

Syftet med denna studie var att beskriva sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av kommunikation med huvud-halscancerpatienter som har talsvårigheter. Metod: Forskningsdesignen var kvalitativ och metoden var att spela in semistrukturerade intervjuer med åtta sjuksköterskor på en öron-, näs- och halsavdelning på ett universitetssjukhus i Sverige.  Resultat: De mer erfarna sjuksköterskorna uttryckte inte några speciella känslor eller svårigheter att bedöma de omvårdnadsbehov som huvud-halscancerpatienter med talsvårigheter har, medan de mindre erfarna sjuksköterskorna uttryckte mer känsla av osäkerhet och frustration när de inte kunde förstå vad patienten försökte säga. Alla sjuksköterskorna uppgav att patienterna ofta uttryckte frustration när de inte blev förstådda. De strategierna sjuksköterskorna använde mest var att tolka kroppsspråket och att ställa ja och nej frågor. Det mest använda hjälpmedlet var papper och penna. Alla sjuksköterskorna uppgav att kommunikation med dessa patienter krävde mer tid och att tidsbrist var en stressfaktor.

This paper has bearing on the subject of foreign policy analysis and decision-making,but is nonetheless important to peace and conflict studies due to its emphasis onnuclear weapons and deterrence.I have constructed a theoretical framework for the analysis of foreign policydecision-making that I set out to test on a crucial case. The framework iscrosscutting, and takes into consideration four levels of analysis: the system-,regional-, state-, and individual level. It is centred on a key decision maker, andapplies a cognitive approach for determining his or hers belief system through whichthe inputs from the other levels are filtered in order for the decision maker toconstruct a perception of reality, from which the decision is then formulated within.The framework is applied to North Korean and its leader Kim Jong Il. It sets outto explain his behaviour in the matter of their claimed nuclear weapons program, andhis decision to conduct a nuclear weapons-test, getting inside his head trying to figureout why he chose to do it and for what reasons.The conclusion indicates that the basic structure of the framework and its generalapplicability is sound, but that it needs further testing in order to make it perfectly solid..

Syfte: På dagens fastighetsmäklarbransch finns det olika aktörer och samtliga säljare ställs inför ett val då de ska sälja sin bostad, sälja själv, genom en kontorsmäklare eller genom en Internetmäklare. Mitt syfte med uppsatsen är att öka kunskapen om Internetmäklare och dess förhållande till kontorsmäklare. För att kunna uppnå syftet har jag arbetat utifrån frågeställningen på vilket sätt kontorsmäklarens tjänst skiljer sig från Internetmäklarens tjänst.Metod: För att besvara min frågeställning har jag valt att arbeta utifrån en hermeneutiskt utgångspunkt. Genom att utföra 4 personliga intervjuer samt 30 telefonintervjuer har jag kunnat skapa en bild av hur marknaden ser ut idag. Hur allmänheten ser på situationen har jag kunnat få fram genom att genomföra en enkätundersökning med frågor kring en potentiell bostadsförsäljning.

Atlas Copco Tools develops and manufactures handheld industrial tools. Heat and surface treatments are used to provide the tools with certain properties. There are no routines for the choice of treatment or for how to specify treatment on drawings. Production documents that are sent for production abroad may not be clear enough. Some treatments are known as trademarks and there are no instructions for how to specify these on drawings and in CAD-models.The purpose of this master thesis work is to create recommendations for the procedure of choosing heat and surface treatment.

Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur biståndshandläggare upplever att förhålla sig till både stadgade lagar och den enskilda individens behov. Biståndshandläggarna kännetecknas som gräsrotsbyråkrater, då de är tjänstemän som befinner sig i daglig interaktion med samhällsmedborgarna. Deras yrkesroll skapades under 1990-talet och det har påvisats i tidigare studier att de har många olika krav och förväntningar riktade gentemot sig. Vi ämnade därmed öka förståelsen för deras upplevelse av sitt yrkesutövande genom att studera deras upplevelse av makt och rollkonflikter. De teoretiska utgångspunkterna var sociologisk rollteori utifrån Aubert, Allardt och Parsons.

This Master's thesis aims to investigate the reference interview using the discourse analytical method discourse psychology. The reference interview has been studied thoroughly, and its importance has been proven repeatedly within the field of Library and Information Science (LIS). However, it has never been studied from a discourse analytical point of view before.The material for our study was gathered at Malmö public library, and consists of 10 tape-recorded and then transcribed reference interviews. Our study shows that there are several discourses within the reference situation. The dominating discourse, the reference interview discourse, is found within all the reference interviews.

Research shows that Muslims are often reproduced within the context that reinforces stereotyping of Muslims, see for example Otterbeck and Schielke. They are often regarded as a collective group with no distinct individuals and thereby the Islamic religiosity is portrayed as different and deviant from the more secular and private practiced Protestantism that is a common belief in Sweden.The purpose of this work is to study the already existing representation of Muslim women in a Western context, i.e. Muslim women in Sweden. This is done through an analysis of two ethnographic interviews and observational studies, written by researchers in Sweden (Karlsson Minganti and Sultan Sjöqvist) to investigate the existence of an "us and them" mindset. The two ethnographic studies which are analyzed in this work, deal with different types of Muslims: women who have been Muslims since birth and converted Muslim women.

This paper examines a popular music song (Heartbeats by Jose Gonzalez) as a sign system in television advertising. The study was conducted through qualitative questionnaires in connection to an audio-visual method of analysis called Masking. The method facilitates the analysis of isolated parts in the audio-visual spectrum by masking/hiding parts of the audio-visual totality.The survey had seven respondents where a hermeneutic epistemological approach was used. For the analysis Cooper's theory of brand identity (Practical and Symbolic Attitudes to Buying Brands) was used together with an interaction model for music in audio-visual advertising called "Modes of music-image interaction?.
