Hur påverkar användandet av talgränssnitt köruppgiften? : en distraktionsstudie
Denna uppsats har som syfte att utreda hur användandet av talgränssnitt i personbilar påverkar köruppgiften. En empirisk studie i verklig miljö har utförts. Tidigare studier, i simulatormiljö, har visat attmed hjälp av röststyrning av bilens funktioner, såsom radio, kan föraren hålla båda händerna på ratten samt ha blicken riktad framåt mer än då funktionerna styrs manuellt med knappar och reglage. Detta leder till en säkrare bilkörning. Tal kräver en annan typ av mental resurs än vad både syn och manuella rörelser gör.
"Vadå, har du bara en examen?" : En studie om relationen mellan studier och extraarbete
This study discusses the relationship between studies and part-time work. The aim is to gain a deeper understanding of why students enrolled in the programme of human resource management and working life choose to undertake part time work, specifically in the human resource business in such great extent while studying full time and what this means for the students regard gaining knowledge. It focuses on the students experience and in order to gain the understanding of this phenomenon three qestion formulations were formed; ?What are the reasons formed by the interviewed human resource-students for having part-time work in the human resource bransch, in addition to their full-time studies??, "What values are made visible regarding the students choices of having a part-time work in addition to their full-time studies?" and ?How does the students express the thought about their part-time work as a key to learn from their studies?? The empirical data were collected through interviews with eight branch-specific human resource-students. The data was analysed based on previous research and a theoretical framework consisting of Lave & Wenger's theory of communities of practice and John Deweys theory of learning by doing.
Kommunikation- den nya lösningen på miljöproblemen? En analys av om och hur kommunikation som styrmedel kan förändra människors attityder och beteenden till bilism
Att utsläppen från trafiken måste minska är idag de flesta överens om, frågan är bara på vilket sätt. En lösning är att förändra människors attityder och beteenden till bilism, att få dem att åka mindre bil. Detta kan göras bland annat genom olika styrmedel. I denna uppsats studeras kommunikationens potential som styrmedel. Syftet med uppsatsen är att med hjälp av befintlig teori samt två fallstudier analysera om och hur kommunikation som styrmedel kan förändra människors attityder och beteenden till bilism sommiljö- och samhällsproblem.
Samspelet mellan ekologi, produktionsförhållande, politik och sociokulturella faktorer gällande Östersjöns torskbestånd från 1970-talet till 2003
The study begins with a historical background over the fisheries development in North America and in the Baltic Sea area in Finland and Sweden. As we can see the fisheries development depends on the interaction between ecology, state of production, politic and also social factors. In Sweden the fishery politic has changed over the period of the study. In the 1970: s the main politic focus was on the fisheries progress, expansion and rationalization. The State in Sweden took a vast part in this development and gave economic support.
Skogsvårdsstyrelsens arbete med att bevara nyckelbiotoper och innebörden av en satellitbildsanvändning i detta arbete
Nyckelbiotoperna utgör en betydande del av skogens biologiska mångfald. Detta gör att Skogsvårdsstyrelsens arbetemed att bevara dessa är av stor vikt. Det har visat sig vara möjligt för Skogsvårdsstyrelsen att med hjälp av satellitbilder och förändringsanalysteknik följa upp vad som har hänt med de nyckelbiotoper som tidigare har inventerats. Denna studie syftar till att analysera Skogsvårdsstyrelsens nuvarande arbete med att skydda och bevara nyckelbiotoper och vidare analysera innebörden av en användning av satellitbilder i detta arbete. Studien baserades på intervjuer med fem anställda från fyra olika distriktskontor, alla tillhörande Skogsvårdsstyrelsen i Östra Götaland.
Cigaretten : en resa genom tid och samhällsförändringar
My essay explores the public view on smoking in Sweden over the last few decades. I've studied how changes in social structures through media, laws, studies and education has brought about a change in the opinions about smoking. I found that even though there have always been different opinions on smoking it seems to have become less accepted in the Swedish society, particularly in the past twenty years. I discuss the different reason as to why (and how) the view on smoking might have changed the last decades amongst the Swedish people. To be able to do this I have done interviews on which I have applied narrative analysis..

Är det effektivt? - En studie av ett företag och dess förvaltning av datorbaserade system
This thesis examines how a company can get an effective, high quality,
maintenance of their computerized systems. After literary studies concerning
the life cycle activity Maintenance we have studied how the maintenance at the
department IT Supply of IKEA IT AB in Älmhult is carried out. What steps and
measures in the analyzing of results of changes are carried out and if they
have predefined processes for changes.
Based on the facts we found most important in our literary studies we have
created a model and theoretically applied this to the maintenance of a specific
system to see what they can work with to further improve the quality and
efficiency in their maintenance.
The basis for our thesis is literary studies and the collected material has
been used as a foundation for the research at the company, which was carried
out through interviews.
This thesis is based on the question: ?How do the lack of a model for
maintenance and the lack of orientation affect the maintenance in a company??.
Telefonrådgivning : kritisk granskning av aktuell forskning
The telenursing service deals with offering the public guidance as what to do with their health and illness concern. More specifically this service includes triage, support, advice, education, referral, information and coordination. To conduct telephone advice is a complicated task to perform and put specific demands of the nurse?s communication skills.The purpose of this study was to critically review the impact of telephone counseling focused on context of implementation, perspective, design and clinical relevance by a sample of studies within the field.The critical review focused on inconsistencies in the material. Strengths and weaknesses of the studies were explored, with emphasis on detecting areas of skill gaps.Twelve of thirteen studies were made in the context of telenursing.
Att påverka sina preferenser: en analys av rationalitet och preferensdynamik (v 1.1)
Actors deliberately change their preferences, contrary to the assumptions of rational decision models. This study shows why, and to some extent how. Preferences are necessarily ambiguous and unstable. Rationality is a regulating myth which has had a profound influence on Western conceptions of what an actor is.The aim of this study is to help individual actors understand the theoretical grounds of their actions. The analysis provides tools for examining decision methods and preference changes.
Ger tillägg av ARB till redan pågående behandling med ACE-hämmare hos hjärtsviktspatienter bättre hälso- och kostnadseffekt?
Heart failure is a condition where the heart is incapable of providing adequate blood supply to different organs in the body. The underlying causes of heart failure is some kind of disorder in the heart function, and require careful diagnostics. The basic symptoms that arise from heart failure is difficulty in breathing, that aggravate when lying down, and fatigue. The patients? symptoms and impaired quality of life can be in different stages depending on the severity of the heart failure.
Utveckling av en HBV/PULS-model med sammanfogade markfuktighets- och responsrutiner
Soil properties affect the chemical composition of soil water. When studying transport of chemical substances through a basin, it is therefore important to know from which soil layer the main part of the runoff is generated. The aim of this study is to develop an HBV/PULSE model with merged soil moisture and response routines, which generates good approximations of groundwater levels. It should be possible to extend the model to simulate transport of substances and take into account which soil layer the groundwater level is currently in. The hydrological version of HBV/PULSE is used since there is no need to account for pH or alcalinity at this stage.
Sveriges mest ojämställda ämne? : en kritisk diskussion om jämställdhet och mäns förhållande till de genusvetenskapliga disciplinerna
The purpose of this study is to interogate the tension-laden relationsship between men (of the dominant classes and ethnicities) and feminism. Closely linked to this lies the question of how valid and relevant official Swedish goals of gender equality can be to the Centres for Women´s Studies and Gender Research in Sweden.The essay is mainly an in-depth qualitative study concerned about questions such as; how does feminist researcher in Sweden perceive the question of men in/doing feminism and what are the implications of these perceptions for the Swedish goals of gender equality? Thus, in this study I´ve interviewed six feminist researchers, five women and one male, about their view of men doing/in/and feminism and about the adequacy of equality goals to the Centres for Women´s Studies and Gender Research in Sweden.The main questions I posed in this essay was prompted by the Swedish political scientist Bo Rothstein accusation of two feminist Swedish researchers, Yvonne Hirdman and Maud Eduards, of deliberately harassing men interested in feminist theory and striving to create women-only spaces at the different Centres for Women´s Studies and Gender Research around Sweden. This would according to Rothstein violate the Swedish goals of gender equality where equal representation is essential.However, the empirical material shows a benign attitude towards men doing feminism and the interviewed all stressed the importance of diversity among feminist scholars and students.As for the Swedish goals of gender equality, the interviewed expressed diverse and contradicatatory answers concerning how valid those goals should be to the Centres for Women´s Studies and Gender Research in Sweden.Contrasting the empirical material, my own argument in this essay circles around a critique of the validity of the Swedish goals of gender equality to the Centres for Women´s Studies and Gender Research in Sweden. Seeing men as a group with groupbased experiences, perspectives and interest puts the female dominance at the Centres for Women´s Studies and Gender Research in Sweden in another light, making the absence of men not a question of harassment but a question of male privilege to stay ignorant and indifferent of gender relations..
