The objective of this project was to develop an application for mobile phones using the Android operating system. The main goal was, with the help of GPS, to pinpoint locations, measure distance traveled and illustrate the progress on a map. Functionalities for just showing the map, fetching addresses and saving to a database was also implemented. The result of the work was a proper application, called MeasureApp, that fulfills the goals set in the planning stages of the project. MeasureApp can be used to measure distances where accuracy is not a main factor, i.e walks or runs.

Uppsatsen undersöker vilka strategier som använts för att överföra egennamn, institutionella termer och kulturspecifika termer till arabiska i översättningen av Migrationsverkets informationsmaterial. De val av översättningsstrategier som gjorts utvärderas utifrån ideal om myndighetstexters begriplighet. Medan texterna överlag tycks vara skrivna på ett tydligt och förklarande sätt så finns det en onödig inkonsekvens i hur termer överförs, vilket kan skapa förvirring hos läsaren. Uppsatsen diskuterar vilka val av översättningsstrategier som kan vara rimliga i olika situationer..

In modern, Swedish political science there are different ways of looking at ?democracy?. A very common distinction is that between three groups of democratic theories: electoral democracy, participation democracy and deliberative democracy.The nowadays frequently used concept of electoral democracy is often used as synonymous with the older concept of repre­­­­sen­tative or indirect democracy ? frequently regarded as a contrast to the direct democracy of ancient Athens. However, there are also important differences.

The aim of this Master?s thesis was to find out more about the delimiting quality- and shelf-life parameters over time for liquid oat-based products. According to that, to present applicable subjective and objective shelf-life test approaches at accelerated conditions.

Hälsa är ett begrepp som vi ständigt möts av i vår vardag. Hälsa handlar om att må bra fysiskt och psykiskt och är därför någonting som berör oss alla. Dock är begreppet hälsa väldigt brett. I statistiska undersökningar mäter man ofta hälsa utifrån rent konkreta variabler som livslängd, vikt i förhållande till längd, avsaknad av sjukdom etcetera. I media har istället fokus kommit att hamna på kroppen, dess utseende och former.

Hydropower is an important source of energy in Sweden and accounts for about 46 % of the total energy production. Sweden has about 1 200 hydropower plants and with the intention of raising the pressure head of the water and to store water, dams are built by the power plants. The storage reservoirs make it possible to adjust the energy production by demand and season. Dams in connection to the reservoirs are subjected to additional loading during periods of high floods or when an icecap in the winter is formed on the reservoirs. In order to maintain the dam safety, the power companies in Sweden are working with guidelines for dam safety from RIDAS.

Den digitala utvecklingen både i samhället i stort och inom utbildning accelererar som aldrig förr. Många ungdomar idag har tillgång till digitala verktyg så som dator, mobiltelefon, surfplatta mm. Detta ställer nya krav på utbildning och därmed också nya krav på lärarna. Ett urval av matematiklärare på gymnasienivå fick i en webb-survey rangordna vilken kunskapsnivå de anser sig ha med avseende tre huvudområdena som beskrivs av ramverket Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK): teknik, pedagogik, ämnesinnehåll och kombinationer av dessa. Resultaten visar att lärarna anser sig ha en hög kunskapsnivå med avseende på pedagogik och ämnesinnehåll samt kombinationen av dessa men att kunskapsnivån ligger lägre när det gäller teknik och då framförallt den rent tekniska biten (t.ex.

Banks and their products are traditionally characterized as high involvement, informational purchases and as such there is a need to shape the market communication to be logical and catering to the need for information that customers are bound to have. With the advent of social media and web 2.0 a company can no longer opt out of the online discourse regarding their company. As social medias are characterized by being an active media, tailored to personal exchanges and opinions, the match with the high involvement approach that banks usually have to employ is not always ideal. We have examined what happens when banks use different degrees of personal message content and sender profiles on Twitter. Our findings suggest that while some strategies generate higher WOM intentions, others may provide a greater level of sender credibility..

Mitt kandidatarbete är ett undersökande och utmanande av unga kvinnors självbild i förhållande till upplevda krav och förväntningar, samt normativa föreställningar om hur en kvinna ska vara. Jag vill, genom konstnärlig/konsthantverklig gestaltning i materialen keramik och glas, lyfta fram och bejaka det otillåtna som ?inte får finnas? och låta det utgöra det vackra. Att inte vara till lags, inte rätta sig efter vad andra tycker utan öppna upp för att skapa sina egna ideal. Att våga ta den plats man vill ha; högljudd eller tyst, motbjudande eller attraktiv.
