Title: Point of Purchase TV-screens - An analysis of Gender and Generations in the In-store-Retail-EnvironmentDate of Seminar: May 29th 2007 Course: BUS 809, Master Thesis in International Marketing and Brand Management.Authors: Søren Berg Jørgensen, Daniel McCartney and Ben Wallenborn.Supervisors: Karin Alm and Ulf Johansson Keywords: In-store Marketing, Point-of-Purchase, In-store TV, Gender, Generations. Thesis Purpose: The purpose of the thesis is to contribute to a greater understanding as to how consumers react to and perceive PoP TV-screens within the in-store retail environment. More specific, the aim of the study is to investigate if gender and generations react and feel differently towards the use of PoP TV-screens. From a practical standpoint, the study will aid marketers in how they can communicate more effectively with their target-market inside the store. In addition to this, the study will provide retailers with an insight into the overall atmospheric effect that the placement of TV screens has on stores.

Constantly growing demands from the costumers in the Automotive industry forces the subcontractors to seek alternative ways to compete. One parameter of quality is the components tolerance against NVH(Noise, Vibraion & Harshness) aspects. Kongsbergs Automotive has developed a new gear shifter platform (Shift-by-Wire) that is sold to Alfa Romeo and used in of their car models. However, the company is not pleased with the components sound quality, therefore the main purpose of this thesis is to develope a number of concepts that is supposed to enhance these NVH-aspects.To get an understanding of the problem an analysis of the causes of the emitted sound has been done parallell to a product decomposition, function decomposition and a Ishikawa-diagram. Together with these methods has a litterature study been performed to get familiar with the physics of an impact and especially the emittment of noise.

I got a request from Eleiko Sport AB regarding them needing help with trying to improve one of their products. The following examination project includes the principal- and primary construction reports within trying to make some improvements and optimizations on a stand for Kettle bells. I have in this project both made my own proposals to the stands legs, proposals on how to strengthen the shelf and also made an optimization of the original Kettle bell-stand. In this report, the project goes from idea to being built and analyzed in Catia, including the creation of drawings and material definition..

Flexible working conditions is used extensively in organizations today as a way tocreate flexibility for the employer. Recently we?ve been reading in the newspapersthat this approach is a growing problem and the EU has warned Sweden twice thatabuse of these forms of employment must be stopped. The Government has recentlysubmitted a proposed rule change to reduce the possibility of stacking one temporarycontract after another. Borlänge kommun makes themselves more flexible with theintermittent employments.

AbstractA European identityA study of Manuel Castells criteria?s to create a European identityC-Essay in Political Science, by Helena Saagpakk, August 2007Supervisor: Björn ÅkerbergPhilosophers and visionaries dreamt early on the idea about a united Europe. This dream was destroyed by the two world wars during the first half of the 20th century. The first community was established in 1950 after the Second World War. This was the beginning of a peaceful cooperation between the member states, and the community later developed into the European Union.

Our bachelor thesis is a visualisation made in 3D-graphics of how the horserace track in Tingsryd perhaps will look like in the future, complete with a miletrack, steeplechase, and other horserace courses. Today, the race track is only in it?s building phase. The inner field-group in Tingsryd needed presentation material to show their eventual sponsors, so they contacted us at Media Technology, and we instantly decided to give their idea a try..

Energy and environmental demands regarding buildings have become an increasinglydiscussed topic, both in Sweden and in Europe as a whole. The general trend indicatesthat greater efforts are being put into the energy efficiency of the built environment.There are already numerous examples of houses with a low energy demand, and thenumber of low energy buildings is constantly growing.At the time being, the maximum level for energy demands for housing in Stockholm is110 kWh/m2year, but as soon as next year the limit will be changed to 90. The Swedishagency Energimyndigheten is currently conducting a project to interpret the EU Directiveon the so-called Nearly zero energy buildings, and the preliminary results indicate thatthe level of requirements for purchased energy will end up with about 55 kWh / m2year,which is in line withtoday?s recommendationsfound in FEBY's Kravspecifikation förPassivhus.Starting with a low-energy house in Henriksdalshamnen in Stockholm, we have analyzedvarious energy-efficiency measures and their influence on power and energy needs. Thefinancial aspects associated with the measures have been studied using a model of lifecycle costs.The measures were initially studied individually to give an idea of how much impact theyeach had.

Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka Ängöskolans tid som baltiskt flyktingläger i Kalmar under den tidiga efterkrigstiden. I arbetet med uppsatsen har jag studerat listan över inskrivningsliggare som redogör för antalet registrerade flyktingar på Ängöförläggningen i Kalmar med avseende till ålder, kön, yrke/klass, civilstånd och generation. I målet att besvara hur Kalmars flyktingverksamhet organiserades och dess roll som arbetsinstitution har främst inkommande skrivelser samt intendentens skrivelser i form av brev studerats. Jag har även jämfört mina resultat med Kalmar hjälpkommittés verksamhet för judiska flyktingar och Skånes baltiska flyktingmottagning och arbetsmarknadspolitiska åtgärder under den tidiga efterkrigstiden..

This is a bachelor thesis that studies and discuss the question: How can we develop our individual narrative technique with sound design in a Swedish drama production? We have done research and empirical studies. We have analyzed movies to get an idea how we use the sound design in Swedish drama productions today. We have produced a movie that gives sound the biggest part. Key words: Swedish drama production, narrative technique, sound design.

Normally the operational amplifier is used as a component in active filter design. The goal for future components in filter design is large bandwith and the use of low supply voltages. The use of current-mode instead of voltage-mode circuits gets a step closer to the required performance. A component that use current as the signal conveying part is the current conveyor. In this report a comparative study between two current conveyor structures of second generation (CCII) is performed.

The following is an explorative work on various forms of collaboration. The core of our exploration revolves around the idea of co-operation as a tool for examination, a collective working method, the input/output within creative practices as well as a phenomena in its own right? It is however not ?simply? about collaboration, but rather places as much focus on a highly personal search for new working methods, new approaches towards research and on the development of our relationship to graphic design. From beginning to end, the entire project has become a work whereby the term ?we? has been more important than ?me? ? a well-functioning project with a common purpose: a collaboration, between us..

A good power quality can be an important prerequisite to achieve a sustainable society. Scandinavia's electrical system is in many respects superior, and Sweden has a fossil free electricity generation at 97 % and a reliability of electricity distribution at 99.98 %. Meanwhile, the EU has an ambition to expand the electricity market in order to achieve a joint trading business across Europe. This cross-border market will result in a large proportion of fossil energy sources integrated into our electrical system, which also leads to an increased need for renewable electricity production in Sweden. One part of this development is to increase the share of renewable micro generation that is locally or regionally connected to the power grid.

I denna designpedagogiska undersökning behandlar jag frågeställningen: Vad händer i mötet mellan olika generationer när man använder det textila handarbetet som en social plattform där kunskap förmedlas? Med underfrågorna: Vilken roll spelar handarbetet i mötet mellan generationer? Hur påverkar skillnader i förhållningssätt till handarbetet mötet mellan generationer? Syftet med min undersökning är att undersöka handarbetets möjlighet att skapa en social plattform där generationer kan mötas. Jag undrar om det går att synliggöra och tillgängliggöra en äldre generation och dess kunskap för en yngre generation.Undersökningen består av två träffar där en grupp äldre kvinnor träffas tillsammans med en grupp yngre kvinnor för att handarbeta. Det finns i och med träffarna även en uttalad önskan om förmedling av handarbetskunskap. Både de äldre och de yngre deltagarna har medverkat utifrån ett eget intresse och initiativ.

Bakgrund: På uppdrag av regeringen har Barnombudsmannen år 2010 skrivit en rapport där syftet var att ta reda på hur placerade barn och unga upplever sin situation på HVB-hem och familjehem. De intervjuer som gjorts med flertalet ungdomar runt om i Sverige tyder på en negativ inställning till Socialtjänsten som bottnar i en oärlig kommunikation från myndighetens sida men även en missaktning från samhällets sida. Syfte: Med en utgångspunkt i de resonemang som skildras i uppsatsen går det att anta att en placering till stor del har en stark inverkan på den unge på olika vis, samt att det är många aspekter som ska samspela för att vårdformen ska vara den bästa för individen. Uppsatsens syfte är att lyfta fram och synliggöra vilken påverkan och betydelse vården kan ha för den unge under och på vägen ut från en placering samt på vilket sätt. Jag vill även skapa en förståelse för hur det påverkar dennes motivation till en strävan att vilja lämna vården.Metod: Studien baseras på kvalitativ metod med en central utgångspunkt i hermeneutiken, men utgår även till viss del från den narrativa metoden med angreppssättet livsberättelser.

The purpose of this Master Thesis has been to investigate the possibilities for a new type of noise reduction solution that could decrease the negative effects resulting from larger traffic roads. The idea has been to construct a noise barrier with a roof ? like a tunnel placed on a road. The choice of material has been focused on transparent materials in order to lower visual intrusion and barrier effects. This project idea is called the Noise tunnel.After having investigated the current offer of noise solutions, it has been concluded that these solutions rarely provide a sufficient level of noise reduction ? at least not when government regulations of acceptable noise levels are applied.
