Today?s wind power plants are only compensated for their reactive power consumption at no-load. As the wind power plants grow bigger the amount of reactive power they need also increases. This is no longer a problem that can be ignored, especially as the net owners are beginning to charge the reactive power they transport.In this thesis a couple of different methods of compensation and their prices will be discussed and evaluated. Problems, such as self-excitation, that can occur if one fully compensates the wind power plant will also be brought to surface.

This report is about helping Q-Med AB in Uppsala to start its implementation of uncertainty of measurements analyses in their manufacturing department. Prior to this, the company relied solely on personal experience or did not take this uncertainty into consideration at all during different kind of measurements, which means that some of the processes that the company previously believed were within specified acceptance limits, will actually fail when considering these sources of uncertainties.Q-Med AB needed some sort of instruction to help the company, in a systematic way, to investigate different types of disorders that are affecting all kinds of measurements. This instruction includes a short summary about measurements and uncertainty of measurements in general and a detailed procedure about how these uncertainties are going to be handled in their daily work.The goal was to be able to use this instruction to systematically locate, eliminate (when possible) and analyze all kinds of disorders when measuring. Q-Med is using a lot of different types of instruments when measuring different types of quantities, including temperature, mass, pressure and density. This instruction will hereafter be used for every instrument, regardless of quantity and type of instrument.The instruction is tested through 4 different kinds of measurements, for mass, temperature and humidity.

Patienter kommer till akutmottagningar med stora variationer av sjukdomar, skador, ålder och psykologiska tillstånd. Arbetet på akutmottagningen är ofta mer inriktat på de medicinska aspekterna av omvårdnad. Det är patientens upplevelser av omvårdnaden som fungerar som en bedömning av hur bra omvårdnaden utförs. Syftet med denna studie är att beskriva patientens upplevelser av omvårdnaden på akutmottagningen. Den metod som använts är en litteraturöversikt av tolv artiklar med kvalitativ eller kvantitativ metod.

Syftet med denna studie har varit att ta reda på om och i så fall vilka ämnesdidaktiska möjligheter inom naturvetenskap i den icke pedagogiskt planerade utevistelsen barnen ger uttryck för. Frågeställningarna till studien är följande: Finns det spontana tillfällen i den icke pedagogiskt planerade utevistelsen som pedagoger skulle kunna utveckla till ett naturvetenskapligt lärande? Vilka didaktiska spår inom naturvetenskapen ger barnen uttryck för och hur syns dessa i barnens aktiviteter? Hur skulle pedagoger kunna utveckla de didaktiska spåren inom naturvetenskap i barnens aktiviteter med utgångspunkt i utvecklingspedagogiska begrepp till ett lärande i förskolan? En kvalitativ undersökning har genomförts och som metod har videoobservationer använts. Med kamerans hjälp har barnens aktiviteter i den icke pedagogiskt planerade utevistelsen genom en kombination av icke-deltagande och ostrukturerade observationer följts. Utifrån ett utvecklingspedagogiskt perspektiv närmas barns perspektiv, för att synliggöra om det finna några naturvetenskapliga spår som pedagoger kan följa upp och arbeta vidare med för att närma sig ett lärande om naturvetenskapliga fenomen.

In this project we have used the theory of analytical mechanics to derive equations of motion for complex mechanical systems in order to study their behaviour over time. Even if the theory provides powerful tools to tackle tough problems which would be very hard to solve by methods of Newtonian mechanics, you are still relatively limited without running any computer simulations. One realises that in a faster rate it will be an incredibly difficult task to find an analytical solution when the degrees of freedom increases. Even if one would succeed to derive the equations, one still has to solve them to get the information of the systems behavior. Of experience one knows that the equations in general are nonlinear and hence must be integrated numericaly.

Den första process som möter den akutsökande patienten på en akutmottagning är triaget, vars syfte är att bedöma patientens medicinska tillstånd. Att hänvisa en akutsökande patient till annan vårdnivå är ett komplext beslut, som ska fattas med kunskap, erfarenhet och med respekt för den enskilda patienten. Syftet med studien var att beskriva sjuksköterskornas upplevelse i hänvisningssituationen av akutsökande patienter, med Triagehandboken som beslutstöd. Metoden var kvalitativ med semistrukturerade intervjuer. Åtta sjuksköterskor på en akutmottagning i södra Sverige inkluderades i studien.

Uppsatsens syfte var att jämföra hur elever i olika åldrar uppfattar och uttrycker sin kunskap kring ett naturvetenskapligt fenomen och hur dessa kan påverkas av undervisning. Studien baseras på 24 elevintervjuer som användes för att jämföra hur elever i förskoleklass, år 4 och år 6 samtalar om ett naturvetenskapligt begrepp. Intervjusvaren från år 4 användes sedan som underlag för en lektionsserie på 7 lektioner. Efter den avslutade lektionsserien intervjuades eleverna i år 4 en andra gång för att studera hur tidigare uppfattningar och uttryckssätt förändrats genom undervisning. Undersökningen påverkades därmed av det variationsteoretiska perspektivet, då ett lärande kännetecknades som en förändring i sättet att uppfatta det naturvetenskapliga fenomenet.

 The purpose of this study was to investigate registered nurses experiences about giving support to relatives to patients within palliative home care. This study was descriptive with qualitative approach. The data collection was made in the form of semi structured qualitative interviews which took place in a Swedish city of medium size, in an area for palliative homecare. Six registrated nurses were interviewed which all gave informed consent. The study suffered no losses and permission from the director of the concerned department had been given prior to the start of this study.

Purpose: Corporate communication strategies have a central role in disseminating and creating meaning to the organizations? visions, strategies and goals. But many employees do not know the organization?s overall strategies and goals, nor how well the organization achieves these. The aim of this study was to investigate and describe perceptions about internal communication, primarily focusing on communication about strategies and goals.

AbstractTitle: Effective internal communication ?A case study on communication between a manager and the employees in a sportsclub.Number of pages: 40, without enclosuresAuthor: Susan AnderssonTutor: Peder Hård af SegerstadCourse: Media and Communication Studies CPeriod: Second term 2005University: Division of Media and Communication, Department of Information Science, Uppsala UniversityPurpose/Aim: I aim to do a case study of a work situation, where there is no natural or direct form of feedback between the manager and the employees, and compare the purpose of the information efforts with how it is perceived by the employees.Material/Method: Qualitative research method, including an assembling method in the form of interviews, and a processing method of those interviews.Main results: All the used channels combined together (except one channel) seem to have created the right condition so that the content of the information can be perceived and used as the way it was supposed to, even though there?s no direct feedback of the information. The manager gets feedback indirectly and can therefore adapt the messages, or the information efforts, to the receivers.Keywords: Organizational communication, Internal communication, Information, Feedback..

In 2007 the Swedish government appointed a commission of inquiry with the task to submit a proposal of reduction in the requirement of a minimum legal capital for private limited liability companies. The commission of inquiry?s main proposal involved a reduction to SEK 50,000 compared to the prevailing SEK 100,000. Following a complementary proposal from the Justice Department suggesting a reduction to SEK 1, this paper aims at providing an understanding of the function and purpose of a minimum legal capital and the consequences that follows from an abolition of the statutory capital requirement. The thesis concludes that the legal capital?s main purpose is that of a standard contract internalizing the shareholder?s risk in business.

This article starts with a review of the literature regarding the normal reproductive physiology of the mare, prolonged luteal phase and medical drugs used within reproduction of the horse, with emphasis on Ovuplant®. The purpose of this article was to measure the progesterone level in blood, of mares implanted with deslorelin acetate (Ovuplant®). The study was performed at the Department of Clinical Sciences, SLU, in Uppsala. There were seven mares included in the study. They were divided into two groups, one experimental group (four mares) and one control group (three mares).

Syfte och frågeställningarSyftet med denna studie var att undersöka lärares syn på hälsa i ämnet idrott och hälsa och deras tolkning av kursplanen. För att kunna uppfylla syftet utformades tre frågeställningar: (1) Ur vilket/vilka perspektiv ser lärarna på hälsa? (2) Hur tolkar lärarna "hälsa och livsstils-delen" i kursplanen? (3) Hur hanterar lärarna inom ämnet idrott och hälsa hälsoperspektivet i undervisningen?MetodMetoden som användes var kvalitativ och baserades på intervjuer. Empirin samlades in från fem män och en kvinna, verksamma som idrott och hälsa lärare i Stockholm. Det var enligt bekvämlighetsprincipen urvalet skedde och intervjuerna tog cirka 25-40 minuter.
