Holmen Skog is currently using a GPS-program called TraktInfo, originally developed within the company. They are now planning to switch to a new GPSprogram or allowing the contractors to buy other programs available from the logging equipment manufacturers. To be able to offer this flexibility, Holmen Skog needs to obtain information about the features offered by the different manufacturers in their specific programs, and also when the manufacturers are planning to start selling programs adapted to the new standard called StanFord2010. According to the study, the manufacturers are hesitant to StanFord2010 and there has also been a lack of clear signals from the customers and clients about what kind of different new features to include in the programs. The feature most frequently used by forest machine operators today is the option to keep record of the harvester?s path by creating a ?log plot?. This feature was not used to its full potential however, since only one out of eight of the forwarders included in the study had computers that were compatible with the harvester?s computer.

Examensarbetet undersöker vilka lösningsmetoder elever på yrkesförberedande program använder sig av när de löser lineära ekvationer efter det att A-kursen i matematik avslutats. En viktig fråga har varit att se huruvida elever har tillägnat sig de formella lösningsmetoderna som traditionellt har betonats i undervisningen. Ämnet är relevant eftersom det inom forskningen finns vissa bevis för att många elever betraktar algebra som en mekanisk regelföljande aktivitet utan mening, och att det dessutom är vanligt att elever på framförallt yrkesförberedande program saknar grundläggande baskunskaper i matematik. Ämnet har undersökts med hjälp av ett skriftligt test till gymnasieelever med efterföljande intervjuer. Resultatet visar att de flesta eleverna i studien främst använder sig av informella metoder, och att de formella metoderna i kontrast har lett till ett antal missuppfattningar.

Elever på gymnasiet ska enligt styrdokumenten ha inflytande över sitt eget lärande och alltså över de lärandesituationer som finns i skolan. Att så inte alltid är fallet visar flera undersökningar, och även detta examensarbete, vars syfte varit att undersöka elevinflytandet på ett estetiskt program, och i denna undersökning försöka gradera elevernas inflytande enligt en modell utarbetad av en konsult i inflytandefrågor. Syftet har också varit att undersöka hur elevernas inflytande gestaltar sig samt jämföra elevernas upplevelser med lärarnas intentioner vad gäller elevinflytandet. Undersökningen utgjordes av en noggrann granskning av styrdokument och rapporter gällande elevinflytande, av aktuell forskning, samt genom enkäter till alla elever vid ett estetiskt program på en skola i norra Skåne. De deltagande lärarna intervjuades.

This project is based on my fathers farm which lays outside Löberöd, twenty kilometres south of Eslöv in Skåne. While my family for some time have thought about building a new milkingstable with AMS(Automatic milking system) I decided to compare the AMS with a conventional milkingstable. We are abit concerned about how many cows we should have in the new stable. Because of that I calculated with two different number of cows. I have compared three different types of milking stables: One alternative is 180 cows milked in a double eigth hearing bone milking stable. The second alternative is 128 cows milked with two DeLaval VMS-robots. The third alternative is 171 cows milked with three DeLaval VMS-robots. One salesman from DeLaval and one salesman from A-betong helped me to get marketprices on the milkingrobots, building, ventilation and prices on all the concrete. In all the costs labour is included. The rest of the costs are calculated in a softwareprogram called K-data 03 which is a program with predicted costs. The calulations from the program showed that the price in the milkingpit system was 51 000 sek per cow.

The potential of information technology as a means to invigorate democratic practise is constantly under discussion. Regardless of the differing opinions as to the most suitable way to utilise IT, there are certain democratic core values that have to be considered. One of these is freedom of information, defined by us as the right of every citizen to seek, obtain and express information. The aim of this study is to explore whether the use of IT as a means to enhance democracy can strengthen the citizens right to freedom of information. As an instrument for analysis we use an article by Jan van Dijk, professor of communication science.

Background: For an individual a surgery may involve strains and risks. Many patients experience a loss of its own identity and often an inability to control the situation while going through a surgical operation. Fear of pain or to not wake up from the anesthetic or that the surgery will fail are worrying factors that some people experiences. Purpose: The purpose was to describe patients? perceptions of preoperative information in connection to elective surgeries.

The landscape can be something that you rest your eyes on, something that goes quickly past outside the windscreen or the place for the daily work. To me, landscape is everything around us ? the city, the field and the forest. But what is landscape for you? What does the idea of the landscape stand for? How does our view of the landscape become influenced of the place where we grow up? And the differences between peoples different views of the landscape ? what does they depend on? My point of the view for this paper is that the landscape ideals mostly depend on the landscape where you grow up and that it depends less on the differences between the individuals. As a landscape architect the idea of the landscape is the essential. The more we learn, the more we realize how complex it is, but deep down we always have our own experiences and memories and that shapes our personalities.

En anledning till att många elever upplever bråkräkning som svårt kan vara att räkning med tal i bråkform inte förekommer i vardagslivet lika ofta som förr. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka om det fanns några eventuella brister hos elever, som går första året på gymnasiet, när de räknade med tal i bråkform. Kan grundskolan i så fall göra något för att motverka detta? Vi ville samtidigt studera hur eleverna förklarade och motiverade sina tankegångar.För att ta reda på detta genomförde vi en diagnos med tal i bråkform och till svaren skulle eleverna skriva motiveringar och beräkningar. Vi skickade även en enkät till de gymnasielärare som undervisar eleverna för att få deras syn på resultatet.Resultatet visar att många elever saknar tillräckliga baskunskaper för att klara bråkräkning, vilket också lärarnas enkätundersökning signalerar.

Background: In Sweden approximately 37 000 individuals are affected by myocardial infarction every year. It is important after an infarction to investigate and make preventive changes of lifestyle to prevent another event. Patients have different conditions on how to manage a myocardial infarction and the new life situation they are put in. Through Kim?s domains men?s experiences after a myocardial infarction are separated.

Over 80% of Sweden's population lives in urban areas, and half of the country's forest visits will thus be in urban woodlands. Social values ??- how the individual experiences the forest, and the impact of the forest visits on individual health and well-being, are pointing to the importance of managing the urban woodlands.When there comes to the cultivation of the urban woodlands there are usually many opinions to consider.This study aims to investigate the various opinions on the use and forestry in an urban recreation area in ??the City of Trollhättan. The study addresses both general and in four cases specific suggestions on management methods.Data was obtained from both quantitative and qualitative study through survey, interviews and discussions with the users of the recreation area.Trollhättan's goal with the recreation area is to make it accessible to local residents. The users are mainly influenced by the accessibility therefore clearings and thinnings are appreciated.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the results obtained from scientific articles concerning research into group rehabilitation for people over 65 years with hearing problems. The interest arose then group rehabilitation was unusual in the audiologists work, even though previous research showed these positive effects. With a group rehabilitation, the participants can easier accept theire hearing loss and hearing aid, compaired with an individual rehabilitation. The method used was a literature study. PubMed and PsycINFO databases were used in the search for literature.

This study aims to determine whether pupils, students and teachers at various music schools feel that there is a difference in status between different music styles/genres, and if this has an impact on the individual level. The survey was conducted with a digital survey that was e-mailed to junior/high schools with music profile in the Stockholm area and to all the teachers and students at the Royal College of music in Stockholm (KMH). Due to low participation by students and teachers from the junior/high schools the students and teachers of KMH became the main object of the study. The results shows that a majority of the main group of this study feels that there is a difference in status between different music styles/genres. The study also shows that half of the participants believe that the difference in status affects them on an individual level.

Liveanalys är ett begrepp som i detta arbete innebär att man undersöker ett datorsystem under tiden det är igång. Detta kan göras av flera skäl, t.ex. när det är risk för att kryptering finns på systemet vilket kan aktiveras när det stängs ner. Annars är det vanligt om man vill undersöka nätverkskopplingar, aktiva processer eller andra företeelser som kan vara volatila, dvs. försvinner när systemet stängs ner.

Through changes in the code of statutes, SOSFS 2009:27 (M), opioid addicts are excluded since March 1 2010 from possibilities to be accepted for substitution treatment. Opiate addicts are solitary admitted for substitution treatment from that date. Opioid addicts are excluded admission for treatment regardless of the fact that they fulfil the ICD-10 diagnosis F.11.2, i.e. opioid/opiate addictive criteria. The alteration in the statutes was carried out in reference to the fact that evidence for this kind of treatment intended for opioid addicts was missing.Both groups i.e.

Syftet med examensarbetet var att undersöka gymnasielärares uppfattningar om hotell- och restaurangprogrammets och livsmedelsprogrammets hygienkurs LMK 1204, och utifrån det konstruera en kursplan för nämnd kurs. Arbetet ger en översikt av tidigare forskning om lärares arbete på yrkesförberedande gymnasieprogram, och elevers på samma program uppfattningar om sin utbildning. Vi har arbetat med kvalitativ metodteori och intervjuat lärare på hotell- och restaurangprogrammet och livsmedelsprogrammet om deras uppfattningar om hygienkursen LMK 1204. Med utgångspunkt i de teman vi fick fram vi analys av intervjumaterialet, konstruerade vi en egen kursplan. Sammanfattningsvis tyckte lärarna att det är svårt att kombinera teori med praktik i undervisningen och att få tid till att samarbeta med andra lärare.
