Title: From inspectors to guides: how citizen journalism and participatory cultureaffect the professional identity of Swedish journalists (Swedish title: FrÄn granskaretill guide: om medborgarjournalistikens och deltagarkulturens pÄverkan pÄ svenskajournalisters professionella identitet).Number of pages: 44 (48 including enclosures).Authors: Towe Bengtsson and Matilda KÀllén.Tutor: Amelie Hössjer.Course: Media and Communication Studies C.Period: Fall 2011.University: Division of Media and Communication, Department of Informatics andMedia, Uppsala University.Purpose/Aim: The goal of this paper was to answer how citizen journalism andparticipatory journalism as well as an increasing range of information today haveaffected the professional identity and professional lives of journalists. In addition tothis, study how journalists today respond to these changes.Material/Method: The study is based on Deuze?s theories about journalistic ideals,Jenkins? theories about convergence culture, and on theories about professionalizationand de-professionalization based on Nygren, Wiik and Torstendahl?s theories. Thestudy is based on eight interviews with professional journalists, four employedjournalists and four freelance journalists. The results are analysed based on a broadtheoretical framework.Main results: The results of this survey show that the role of the professionaljournalist is extremely complex, with a strong ideological basis that fundamentallyinfluences the journalist's view of the profession and of him- or herself.

Majoriteten av dagens moderna organisationer har implementerat nÄgon form av informations- och kommunikationsteknik (IKT) i sin verksamhet. MÄnga ideella organisationer tillÀmpar ocksÄ denna teknik, dock skiljer sig förutsÀttningarna för dessa organisationer. Eftersom IKT Àr en kostsam investering Àr det av vikt att det leder till önskade effekter. Flera olika faktorer pÄverkar anvÀndandet och effektiviteten, att tekniken finns att tillgÄ medför inte per automatik att kommunikationen Àr tillfredstÀllande.Syftet med denna uppsats Àr att undersöka hur ny informations- och kommunikationsteknik har implementerats i en ideell organisation. Studien inriktar sig pÄ en fallstudie av hur FrÀlsningsarmén har implementerat dessa tekniker i sin verksamhet.

År 2011 stod bostadssektorn för dryga 34 % av Sveriges totala energianvĂ€ndning. För att lyckas med Sveriges mĂ„l med att sĂ€nka energiintensiteten med 20 % till Ă„r 2020 kommer lĂ„genergihusen att spela en viktig roll. Det har aldrig byggts sĂ„ mĂ„nga lĂ„genergibyggnader jĂ€mfört med nybyggda hus som under Ă„r 2012. Enligt en rapport hade nĂ€stan 40 % av 65 nyproducerade eller ombyggda lĂ„genergihus i Sverige avvikelser frĂ„n det projekterade energivĂ€rdet jĂ€mfört med det verkliga vĂ€rdet nĂ€r byggnaden vĂ€l hade tagits i drift. Studien har utgĂ„tt ifrĂ„n Peabs byggprojekt i Division VĂ€st dĂ€r lĂ„genergihus och passivhus har behandlats. Syftet med examensarbetet har varit att öka kunskapsnivĂ„n i byggbranschen genom att kartlĂ€gga hur bra energieffektiva hus klarar de projekterade vĂ€rdena.

New forms of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have become more influential in development contexts. The concept of ?The Digital Divide? points at a large division between rich and poor countries regarding access to ICTs. Critics say that the debate concerning this topic for far too long has focused mainly on the technology itself rather than social factors which impact social inclusion and development. Scholars agree that ICTs holds a tremendous potential, but how is this implemented in development contexts and how can it be used with more sensitivity towards local preconditions and social aspects?This paper aims to examine how ICTs are being used in the context of development within an India based organisation for women called SEWA (Self Employed Women?s Association).

Under tvÄ terminer har vi medverkat i en forskningscirkel pÄ en grundskola som behandlat historieundervisning i en mÄngkulturell miljö. Forskningscirkeln startades i samband med att den aktuella skolan fick ett stort tillskott av elever med invandrarbakgrund. Det ena syftet med detta examensarbete Àr att synliggöra lÀrarnas syn pÄ rollfördelningen inom den aktuella forskningscirkeln. Den rollfördelning vi syftar pÄ Àr framförallt den mellan forskarna och lÀrarna, inte lÀrarna emellan. Det andra syftet Àr att se hur lÀrarna upplever att de pÄverkats av att medverka i forskningscirkeln, och dÄ med fokus pÄ historieundervisning i en mÄngkulturell miljö.

A Swedish electronics company wants to make the cooling of one of their electronic components more efficient. They propose that a retrofit liquid cooler is the way to achieve this goal. The current air cooling has high energy cost due to the high amount of power needed to power fans and heat exchangers. Using high volumes of air for cooling also leads to noise pollution. The conversion from air to liquid cooling would possibly make the operation of the electronics more cost efficient and less noisy.The purpose of this project is to theoretically evaluate different concepts of drawing the heat generated by the electronic component in to a fluid, using numerical calculations in Matlab and FEM simulations in ANSYS.

AbstractTitle: What TV-glasses do you wear? A study in how party-political people decode the TVshow Scooby Doo (Vilka tv-glasögon har du? En studie i hur partipolitiskt aktiva personer tolkar tv-serien Scooby Doo)Number of pages: 47 (54 including enclosures)Author: Christopher LandstedtTutor: Amelie HössjerCourse: Media and Communication Studies CPeriod: Autumn term 2007University: Division of Media and Communication, Department of Information Science, Uppsala University.Purpose/Aim: The aim of this essay is to make a study in how party-political people, 18-25 years old, both female and male, decode the messages in the TV-show Scooby Doo from 1969. Do they decode the show differently because of their political view, their gender or, and their social background? Is there a pattern in the decoding or is it based on a more individual level?Material/Method: A qualitative method containing a total number of 16 individual interviews with young adults, 18-25 years old, half of them female, the other half male, were used. All of the participants are members of political youth parties/organizations, equally divided in left and right wing parties.

The forests in Sweden have, for a long time, been managed intensively. This has led to even-aged stands with few tree species and a lack of dead wood. Therefore, general conservation measures in connection with regeneration felling are important in order to promote biodiversity. Inventories carried out by the Swedish Forest Agency, however, show that about 25 % of the felled area does not reach the level of the Forestry Act, regarding general conservation measures. The aim of my study was to see whether exemptions from the six week notice of reporting regeneration fellings (the Forest Agency demands a report six weeks in advance of fellings), affect the results of the general conservation measures taken.

During the period of occupation of Norway between the years 1940-1945 the National Lutheran Church took the responsibility of supporting the Norweigans in their ideological battle against the Nazis. This was a period named Holdningskampen in Norwegian history. One person to remember was Eivind Berggrav, bishop in Oslo diocese. He was the one responsible for the theological document of importance Kirkens Grunn that became important as a document against the Nazis and the small percentage of Christians that related to the naziinspired-church. Berggrav was also one of the founders of Den Midlertidlige Kirkeledelsen, the organisation responsible for the non-nazified churches.

This report is the result of a master thesis at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Division of Industrial and Economical Development, at Linköping University of Technology. The project was carried out on behalf of Fanerami AB, Mjölby and includes 20 weeks of full time schedule work.Cabinets with vertical mounted roller shutters all share the same problem, namely weight balancing. A roller shutter has an equilibrium area where the sum of the different forces acting on the shutter equals zero. As the shutter leaves that area it will pick up speed as it falls towards the bottom. When the shutter hits the bottom of the cabinet there is a potential risk of getting fingers caught and in this project a solution to prevent this from happening was to be presented.In this project, three concepts have been generated with the following different purposes:?In concept 1 the risk of getting any fingers caught when the shutter closes was to be eliminated in an efficient and inexpensive way.?In concept 2 the roller shutter had to be balanced at all time providing the possibility to keep the cabinet open in any position.?The last and most challenging task was to create a remote controlled TV cabinet.

Onyttiga vÀgsamfÀlligheter Àr ett problem som uppstÄtt under Àldre tiders fastighetsbildning och Àr idag en olÀgenhet för lantmÀtare och fastighetsÀgare i mÄnga förrÀttningsÀrenden. Detta arbete har syftat till att studera de metoder för utplÄning av onyttiga vÀgsamfÀlligheter för att slutligen ge förslag pÄ möjliga lösningar. Studier har gjorts av en utredning, en proposition, förrÀttningsakter och rÀttsfall med fokus pÄ stÀdning av fastighetsindelningen. De förrÀttningsakter som studerats innehÄller fastighetsregleringsÄtgÀrder som verkar för utplÄning av onyttiga samfÀlligheter och sanering av fastighetsindelningen. FörrÀttningarna innefattade ett eller flera större omrÄden med ett stort antal fastigheter.

FrÄgestÀllningar i studien var: Hur stor Àr den anteriora och posteriora knÀlaxiteten i dominant respektive icke-dominant ben uppmÀtt med KT-1000 vid belastningar pÄ 20 lb, 30 lb samt vid ett manuellt maxtest i anterior riktning? Föreligger det nÄgon sidoskillnad mellan dominant och icke-dominant ben gÀllande knÀlaxitet uppmÀtt med KT-1000 vid anteriora och posteriora belastningar pÄ 20 lb, 30 lb samt vid ett manuellt maxtest i anterior riktning? Hur stor andel av deltagarna uppvisar en sidoskillnad av sagittal knÀlaxitet pÄ ? 2 mm respektive ? 3 mm uppmÀtt med KT-1000 och hur Àr frekvensen fördelad mellan dominant och icke-dominant ben hos dessa?Metod: För att besvara syfte och frÄgestÀllningar genomfördes en tvÀrsnittsstudie dÀr 56 kvinnliga fotbollsspelare inom division 1-2 deltog. Samtliga deltagare var ? 18 Är, skadefria och hade spelat fotboll i minst 5 Är.

The main objective with this study was to investigate so called odd purposes acceptable when registrating property along with how social development affects these purposes, furthermore to investigate how the cadastral surveyors estimates a foreseeable time. Tradition and praxis is used for several obvious purposes such as housing, farming, forests, offices and industry. Praxis is yet to be defined regarding more unique purposes. There is no mention in the law about which purposes are found acceptable to assure the demands on suitability are met. Cadastral authorities are responsible for making sure the division into property units is uniform and rule of law-accordingly.
