This project was led on behalf of Bombardier Transportation in Västerås, Sweden, incollaboration with KTH Stockholm and EPFL Lausanne. This project is connected to thedevelopment of a new and simplified tilt system for rail vehicles.Growing competition from other means of transportation has forced railway companiesthroughout the world to search for increased performances.Travelling time is the mostobvious performance indicator that may be improved by introducing high-speed trains.They require very large curve radii and long transitions curves not to impairridecomfort, another performance indicator. Building new tracks adapted to high speedtrains is very costly and can only be justified where the passenger base is large.Trains with the capability to tilt the carbodies inwards the curve is a more cost efficientalternative. The tilt inwards reduces thelateral force felt by the passengers allowing thetrain to pass curves at enhanced speed with maintained ride comfort but increases thefrequency ofmotion sickness.The benefits of tilting trains are improved speed capability in curves and enhancedpassengers comfort, but at higher buying and maintenance cost. As the conventionaltrains increase their speed in curves, the performance advantage of tilting trains isreduced while their prize is still kept significantly higher and constant.

Syfte: Att skapa förståelse för hur människor inom HR-avdelningar upplever de olika rollerna som arbetet kräver. Vi ämnar skapa en större medvetenhet för den utsatta position som HR-arbetare befinner sig i, för att belysa och möjliggöra förebyggande åtgärder. En ökad förståelse för rollproblematiken hos HR-arbetare kan även underlätta orienteringen och förhållningen till de roller som individer och avdelningar själva intar samt de roller som de påtvingas. Resultaten ämnar även mynna ut i ett underlag för reflektion om HR-arbetares egen nutida samt framtida roll i organisationen och hur de kan nå en önskvärd position där fler intressenter blir nöjda.Metod: Studien baseras på en fallstudie i ett stort företag som ingår i en internationell koncern. Arbetet har utförts med hjälp av en kvalitativ forskningsstrategi, som fokuserar på intervjuer, samt en deduktiv ansats.Resultat: Studien påvisar brister i befintlig teori gällande HR-arbetares utsatta position.

This essay is about the burial rites in the passage graves of Falbygden, Västergötland. My questions were: Can the burial ritual be understood by comparing the material culture inside and outside the tombs? What kind of grave offerings did the dead have? Most peculiar are all these beads of amber, what kind of meaning did they have? Was the position of the body a part of the ritual? The time period is the middle Neolithic.I selected four passage graves to investigate: Hjälmars rör (Falköping 3), Rössberga (Valtorp 2), Näs sn 7:2 Kvättak 5:1 and Frälsegården (Gökhem 94).My conclusion was that there are differences between the material culture inside and outside the tombs. Outside the ritual includes fire, inside the material culture are not burned. The material culture outside is more dominant than the finds inside, although the beads of amber are only represented inside and dominates the findings inside.

The purpose of this essay is to investigate how people can return from a marginalized position and become a part of society. Also how a model for returning from a marginalized position should be formed. The intention is to make a contribution to those in society that are helping people to return from marginalized positions. The survey is based on 5 thematic qualitative interviews on individuals that have returned from homelessness, criminality, drug abuse and prostitution. The main results of the investigation are that those who took part in it started their role exit with a turning point.

Denna studie visar att vokalisten tycks befinna sig i en mångsidig och inte helt okompliceradposition i ensemble. En position som präglas av såväl musikaliska som sceniskaförväntningar, men även av en stark och ofrånkomlig koppling till kroppen.Vokalistpositionen kan också förstås som en underordnad position i förhållande till övrigainstrumentalisters positioner inom ensemble. Dels utifrån den traditionellt västerländskasynen på uppdelningen mellan kropp och sinne, natur och teknik. Samt dels utifrån förståelsenav sång som ett feminint kodat instrument och hierarkin manligt och kvinnligt.Syftet med studien är att undersöka fem vokalisters upplevelser av förväntningar i sambandmed ensemblespel, samt deras förhållningssätt till dessa. Uppsatsen bygger på fem vokalistersskrivna berättelser kring deras erfarenheter och upplevelser av att vara vokalist i ensembleinom populärmusik.

This essay concerns the osteological cremated skeletal remains from Broe, Halla parish, Gotland of  The Late Iron Age.The focus of this essay is to determine the position of the corpse on the pyre, whether the cremated bones were crushed after or prior to the cremation and if the individual was buried in the pyre. In addition the species, age, sex and skeletal abnormalities of the bones in question will be studied.The result of the research has yielded that the cremated bones did not need to be crushed to result in the small fragment sizes. Crushing of the bones may have happened during the cremation, this conclusion has been drawn through the comparison of a pyre experiment were bone fragmentation is evident with cremated foxes, and dogs in the cremation graves from Broe. The construction of the pyre and the position of the corpse could not be determined through colouring and fragmentation of the bones.The human's were commonly buried in the pyre, and in some cases it is possible that the "grave" in fact is the remainder of a pyre. The species found are dog, horse, cow, sheep/goat and bear.

This paper is about Soren Aabye Kierkegaards (1813-1855) philosophy regarding the relation between the aesthetic and the ethic stage. The result of the essay is a modification of the aesthetic problem. The suggestion is to convert part of Kierkegaard?s metaphysical claims into an epistemic approach. An epistemic approach means to hold a position of well grounded stipulative beliefs.

The purpose of this essay is to examine and compare narrations by five witnesses, who has written about atrocities against Christians from 1915 to 1919 in what is today south-eastern Turkey, but what was then the Ottoman Empire. I have focused on how the roles of perpetrators, victims, spectators and protectors are featured in the witness narrations. Four questions were posed in the study: Who are portrayed as perpetrators, victims, bystanders and protectors in the various witness narrations? How are these roles expressed in the witness narrations? What differences can be found among the five selected witness narrations from Mardin and Urfa, 1915-1919? What are the explanations of the differences in the witness narrations? The method I have used has been an analysis in which I compare how the different narrations capture the events of 1915-1919. I have used three factors to look at the explanations why there may be differences in the witness narrations.

A large part of Sweden?s green, urban landscape is covered by lawns. Approximately 80 000 ha of maintained grass lawns are part of public courtyards, schoolyards, parks, golf courses, sport fields and traffic environments. Beyond this figure, the lawn is also an essential element in most private villa-gardens. Lawns have become a universal phenomenon through the dispersion of landscape aesthetics from the Western world.

SammanfattningExamensarbete, Ekonomihögskolan vid Linnéuniversitetet, kurskod 2FE73E, VT 2015.Författare: Marie Carlsson Handledare: Martin Amesteus Titel: Sinnenas betydelse för varumärkesposition- En fallstudie av FIKAs strategiska position på den amerikanska marknaden. Syfte med uppsatsen: Syftet med uppsatsen är att beskriva ett företags strategiska position och differentieringsfaktorer och påvisa om kunderna uppfattar denna position och differentieringsfaktorer ur företagets synvinkel på ett enhetligt sätt samt undersöka hur företaget arbetar med sinnesmarknadsföring för att förmedla sina differentieringsfaktorer till sina kunder.Avgränsningar: Denna uppsats behandlar företaget FIKA, som är en svensk kaffekedja, som ligger i staden New York. FIKAs marknadsföring kommer att studeras och fokus kommer vara på hur FIKA arbetar med strategi och positionering. Deras marknadsföring studeras även med fokus på Sinnesmarknadsföring. Vidare har jag haft som avsikt att inte koppla FIKAs ekonomiska situation, utan begränsat den strategiska positionen till att omfatta varumärket, positionering- och differentieringsstrategier.Metod: I denna uppsats har jag gjort en fallstudieundersökning för att få djupare förståelse för företagets strategiska position, deras differentieringsfaktorer samt arbete med sinnesmarknadsföring.  Studien bygger på en abduktiv ansats där teorierna har varit utgångspunkten och där det skett en alternering mellan teori och empiri.

AbstractTitle: The war in Afghanistan ? a necessary evil? (Kriget i Afghanistan ? ett nödvändigt ont? En kritisk diskursanalys av New York Times ställningstagande till och framing av kriget i Afghanistan)Number of pages: 41 (41 including enclosures)Authors: Jenny Häggmark, Madeleine JanssonTutor: Christian ChristensenCourse: Media and Communication Studies CPeriod: Fall term 2011University: Division of Media and Communication, Department of Information Science, Uppsala UniversityPurpose/aim: Our main goal with this paper is to examine and describe how The New York Times have framed the war in Afghanistan in their editorials, and how their position on the war is reflected in the editorials. We are also interested in finding out if their position on the war has changed during the ten years of war. Are the New York Times editorials characterized by peace or war journalism?Material/Method: To fulfill our aim with this paper we are going to use a qualitative method of content analyzes, the critical discourse analysis, when we analyze the editorials selected.

Vi har valt att göra vår C-uppsats i relation till en begränsad verksamhet; en fritidsverksamhet i Västra Götalandsregionen. Vårt syfte med studien är att undersöka hur pedagogerna gör kön i interaktion med barnen, i de observerade situationerna. Våra frågeställningar är ?Vilka samband kan vi se i observationerna mellan pedagogernas interagerande med barnen och barnens positionering och kön?? och ?Hur svarar barnen på pedagogernas interagerande i förhållande till barnets kön och intagen position??. Vi har använt oss av videoobservationer som metod och filmat samlingar och mellanmål, då vi var intresserade av att studera pedagogernas interagerande med barnen utifrån barnens intagna positioner och kön.

This work has been done to develop a plan for a future dairy barn at theGästgivaregården and to show the space needed for cows and replacement heifers. Itwould also show the storage that will be needed. The design was largely based on resultsfrom studies on six different farms, but also the facts that are taken from research papersand articles in order to compare theory with practice. Because some farms only whereinterviewed by phone I have used a query form to obtain comparable resultes.The aim is to build a new barn with Automatic milking. I've drawn a milking stable for120 milking cow and replacement heifers with the capability to house up to 140 milkingcows if the farm would expand in the future.Calculations of feed amounts and space requirements have been made to see how manyhectares are needed to supply the cows and replacement heifers with feed and to knowabout what size of storage space is required.The investigations made in this writing are to answer questions about the AMS-unit`sposition and how to best maintain a good health status in the herd.
