Mechanical scaling is one of the most complex operations of all in the mining process. The operators are using both hearing, sight and feel to read the rock and to know where to scale and where to leave. They say they go on gut feeling in great extent, something that comes with experience. The scaling machine is placed into the edge of unsecured and newly blasted rock to hammer off the blocks that has become loose after the blast, but not enough to fall down. It goes without sayingthat it is a risky job.

Studies show that some pupils with ASD (autism spectrum disorder) can have difficulties in understanding written texts. The present study seeks to examine whether pupils with ASD differ in their reading comprehension of a factual text and a literary text. Another aim of the study is to obtain a picture of the reading habits of high school pupils with ASD, what reading strategies they use, and how they work with texts in Swedish lessons in school.The study uses texts from PISA surveys from 2009 and 2000. The factual text Varmluftsballongen (The Hot-air Balloon) was taken from the try-out for the 2009 survey and the literary text Gåvan (The Gift) was taken from the 2000 PISA survey. To gain some idea of the pupils? reading comprehension of the texts, the present study used the tasks accompanying the texts, with certain changes in the questions about the text on the hot-air balloon.

The usage time is an important part of the specification for products powered bybatteries. The usage time is affected by a number of different elements; technical,environmental and how the product is being used. The method to determine theusage time is intended to define how measurements and calculations are to berealized along with influencing factors to keep in mind. With support from thismethod the intention is to gain control on how well the established usage time canbe expected to cohere with the real value and what affects the value.The study is done specifically for hearing protectors with battery powered built inelectronically functions. The functions can be level dependent function forambient hearing, 2-way radio communication, Bluetooth or FM-radio.The first chapter of the report describes the literature study performed in theproject.

The study tries to increase the understanding of the phenomenon known as the Big bath, on the question whether the market accepts Big bath accounting principle or not.

Bristande vinterväghållning samt planering kan begränsa möjligheterna för delaktighet för personer med funktionshinder. Denna studies resultat har påvisat att genom logik i utformning samt ett gott samarbete i de initiella skedena i planeringsprocessen kan utanförskapet undvikas. Studiens syfte har varit att kartlägga de behov personer med nedsatt rörelseförmåga,nedsatt syn samt hörsel har på befintliga rastplatser och vid gångpassager längs det statliga vägnätet. Ytterligare har syftet varit att klargöra de hinder och möjligheter som finns för en god tillgänglighet hos projektledare och driftledare. Ett speciellt fokus har även enligt syftet lagts på vinterväglag.

Från att linjärt skriva av goodwill skall det nu bara göras nedskrivningar om nedskrivningsbehov föreligger. Syftet med vår undersökning är att kvantitativt illustrera förändringarna i kostnader för av- och nedskrivningar av goodwill sedan införandet av IFRS 3 för 60 bolag noterade på Stockholmsbörsen och som återfinns på den nordiska Large-cap listan. Enligt vår undersökning har kostnaden för goodwill mellan 2004 och 2005 sjunkit från 20 465,1 msek till 978,8 msek. Av den sammanlagda resultatökningen på 74 653,0 msek för de undersökande bolagen är 31,82 % direkt hänförlig till avskaffandet av goodwillavskrivningen..

Vår tid präglas av valmöjligheter, kunskap och reflexivitet där människans identitetsprocess tyck relatera till livsstilsplanering. Syftet för denna studie är att undersöka hur utvalda företag genom sina hemsidor uttrycker och presenterar en identitet kopplad till företaget. För att söka synliggöra min problemställning är teoretiska utgångspunkter för denna studie Giddens (2002) teori om människans reflexiva identitetsskapande samt Goffmans (2009) teori om presentation och idealisering. Det som studeras i denna studie är fyra olika företag som utgörs av Manpower, Poolia, Billabong samt Louis Vuitton och deras tillhörande hemsidor.

Databases are an easy way of storing information kept together and accessible and can save time by finding the information easier. Cochleaimplant could be seen as a form of advanced hearing aid, this product consists of two parts, an external part that recieves sound and sends signals to the internal part through electromagnetism. The internal part is the implant itself and is surgically placed in to the cochlea. Örebro University hospital has just started working within the field of Cochleaimplants and are therefore in need of a database to store patient related information.The database problem was solved using Microsoft Access 2003 combined with the built-in support for Visual Basic, which is a sort of programming language. The result of the thesis work was a fully functioning database according to the given specification and is now being used at Örebro University hospital..

The abrupt and early weaning of intensively kept lambs may have serious animal welfare implications, but relatively little is known about this. Weaning includes the breaking of the mother-young bond and abrupt replacement of milk by solid food, often coinciding with changes in the (social) environment. Altogether, these changes are likely to affect lamb welfare significantly. This study aimed to establish how strong and persistent lamb welfare is impaired following abrupt weaning by means of measuring behaviour parameters indicative of affective state. Also, we investigated the existence of a diurnal rhythm in play behaviour, which is considered an important indicator of positive affect and good welfare.

Bakgrund: Hur företag väljer att redovisa sina tillgångar, speciellt immateriella tillgångar, har under de senaste decennierna varit föremål för mycket diskussion med tanke på finanskriserna som varit. Sedan 2005 skall alla börsnoterade koncerner inom EU följa IASBs standardverk IFRS regelverk. Lagändringen betyder bland annat att goodwill inte längre ska skrivas av på den nyttjandeperioden som en kostnad i resultaträkningen men skall istället årligen prövas för nedskrivning, ett så kallat, ?impairment test?.Syfte: Syftet med undersökningen blir att kartlägga Svensk redovisningspraxis av goodwill. Detta för att se om eller hur finanskriserna och lagändringar har påverkat goodwillvärdet hos Svenska koncerner.
