This report discusses the development of lessons based on laborations for middle and high school.The purpose of the project was to research the possibility to affect students' attitude towards physicsthrough well-planned stimulating lessons. The lessons were based on the Light and Lasers OutreachKit, a teaching package made by the organisation Laser Classroom, and have been adapted for physicsin middle and high school. The lessons were developed on a pedagogical and didactical ground andwere improved with surveys and peer and self assessment. The lessons were based on laser light and itsproperties. One lesson covered the topic of single-slit diffraction, while the other treated geometricaloptics.

Solid State Diskar (SSD) är relativt nya och mycket om dem är okänt. Detta examensarbete fokuserar på att läsa forensiskt viktig information från både lagringsutrymmet och reservutrymmet. Detta har försökts genom att ett program har byggts i C++, detta program använder ATA kommandon för att läsa information från disken. Även om programmet aldrig blev färdigt kunde det skicka och ta emot data från en SSD, dock inte reservutrymmet vilket var fokus i detta examensarbete..

The reindeer are kept in extensive pasture systems where the conditions are similar to thosefor wild reindeer. Since the reindeer have special demands on their pasture, it is difficult tokeep them in intensive production systems where they cannot graze selectively. Too manyreindeer on a small area will also facilitate spread of diseases. A selection program forreindeer needs special qualifications according to several different reasons. The purpose withthis literature review is to summarize the factors needed for a reindeer selection program andthe problems and possibilities included.Reindeer grazing right has a special meaning to the Sami and are reserved for them accordingto immemorial rights.

The effects of Reindeer mechanical damages on the planted regeneration of Pinus sylvestris and Pinus contorta. Semi-domesticated reindeer can damage young trees. In late winter reindeer rub their antlers against young trees. The aim of this study was to quantify those damages. This study covered planted objects from three different areas in northeastern Sweden.

SammanfattningSyftet med detta arbete är att undersöka hur Värmlands Museum utarbetar sin verksamhet och förmedlar sitt samhällsuppdrag mot skolan, samt hur verksamma lärare i praktiken nyttjar länsmuseet i historieundervisningen för grundskolans tidigare år.I undersökningen besvaras två frågeställningar: ?På vilket sätt organiserar Värmlands museum sin pedagogiska verksamhet för att bidra till historieundervisningen i grundskolans tidigare år?? och ?Hur används Värmlands Museum i historieundervisningen för grundskolans tidigare år??Grunden för arbetet består utav kvalitativa intervjuer. Två museipedagoger som är anställda sedan ett respektive två år på Värmlands Museum och fyra lärare som har praktiserat sitt yrke från nio till trettio år på olika skolområden i Värmland, har intervjuats.Resultatet från undersökningen visar att Värmlands Museum erbjuder flera pedagogiska program som kan användas i grundskolans historieundervisning. Merparten utav programmen har utgångspunkt i två permanenta utställningar. Lärarna har nyttjat museet i historieundervisningen med olika syften.

Uppsatsen undersöker förändringar i SVTs utbud av barnprogram samt förändringen i bilder, tilltal och vilka som får komma till tals i nyhetsprogrammet Lilla Aktuellt. Uppsatsen undersöker vecka 37 mellan åren 2000 och 2012 med nedslag vartannat år (2000, 2002 etc.). Uppsatsen består två analyser, varav den ena är en kvantitativ analys. Den fokuserar på SVTs utbud av barnprogram. Fokus ligger på programtyp, genre, utseende och ursprungsland.

This thesis is about School libraries and the honour "School library of the year". I have examined the questions - Whats to say about school libraries in the curriculum and the library law? - Who administer the honour "School library of the year" and whats demanded to get it? - What have made the school libraries I have examined to school libraries of the year"? As theory I have used the Taxonomies of the School Library Media Program by David V. Loertscher. I have given a background to and defined the school library as a function, a room and in the teaching among others.

Syftet med arbetet är att undersöka om det finns någon skillnad i hur läraren undervisar i Matematik A på gymnasieskolans studieförberedande och yrkesförberedande program. En av frågeställningarna är att undersöka vilka skillnader som finns i det innehåll lärarna skriver på tavlan. Metoden för att undersöka detta är en kvantitativ observationsstudie som görs i klassrummet under lektionstid. I undersökningen gjordes åtta observationer av fyra lärare, två lektionstillfällen per lärare. Några av resultaten är att lektionerna på de yrkesförberedande programmen inte startar och slutar på utsatt tid medan lektionerna på de studieförberedande programmen gör det.

I detta arbete har vi undersökt hur elever beskriver att ett laborativt arbetssätt i matematik påverkar deras lärande. Studien har utförts på ett studieförberedande och ett yrkesförberedande program på gymnasiet i klasser som läser kursen matematik A. Vi har använt oss av en enkätundersökning i båda klasserna och intervjuer med tre elever från respektive klass. Vårt resultat pekar på att det finns ett antal positiva faktorer som eleverna anser påverkar deras lärande vid ett laborativt arbetssätt i matematik. Dessa faktorer är att undervisningen blir rolig och intressant, varierad, verklighetsanknuten och leder till kommunikation mellan elever.

This thesis describes new methods for automatic crack detection in pavements. Cracks in pavements can be used as an early indication for the need of reparation.Automatic crack detection is preferable compared to manual inventory; the repeatability can be better, the inventory can be done at a higher speed and can be done without interruption of the traffic.The automatic and semi-automatic crack detection systems that exist today use Image Analysis methods. There are today powerful methods available in the area of Computer Vision. These methods work in higher dimensions with greater complexity and generate measures of local signal properties, while Image Analyses methods for crack detection use morphological operations on binary images.Methods for digitalizing video data on VHS-cassettes and stitching images from nearby frames have been developed.Four methods for crack detection have been evaluated, and two of them have been used to form a crack detection and classification program implemented in the calculation program Matlab.One image set was used during the implementation and another image set was used for validation. The crack detection system did perform correct detection on 99.2 percent when analysing the images which were used during implementation.

One of ABB Power Systems´s business areas is HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) technology. HVDC is used for transmissions for both short and long distances. One of Power Systems?s products is called HVDC Light. HVDC Light is a relatively new technology for power transmission, but have before only been used for motor drives applications.

Due to the technical development the enterprises of today are forced to creative thinking when it comes to marketing of their products. An example of one of these new methods are the development of product placement which has come to an interesting turn namely advertiser funded programming (AFP). Instead of the product just being a small part of the storyline it has become the story itself. The purpose of this study is to analyse how the advertiser funded tv-production Roomservice, a Swedish home styling program, communicates with it?s viewers as well as how they perceive the message.
