There are several Project Management Softwares onthe market today. These tools are powerful andextensive to the degree they become too timeconsumingand complex and therefore often defeatits original purpose. This is the case especiallywhen the project manager is inexperienced and/orthe scope of the project is moderate.The purpose of this thesis arose from this context,there seems to be a gap between a home-made MSExcel spread sheet and the advanced softwaresavailable. The thesis and the product has beendeveloped in alliance with Faveo ProjectManagement with the shared goal to create a toolwhich is easy to use but still covers the essentialareas of project management theory. The tool willbe used internally by Faveo-employees as well asexternally together with Faveo?s clients in aneducational purpose.

This report describes the design and construction of a prototype that automatically aims a microwave link towards a target. The link, that is located on a mobile aerial mast, is used by Saab Training Systems as a part of an infrastructure network. The report also discusses the development of a GUI that communicates with the control unit by Bluetooth.The control unit, called Pan/Tilt-controller, controls the position of the link by stepping motors. One motor controls the azimuth angle and the other one controls the elevation angle.By a GUI the operator enters the coordinates on its own position and the targets position. Hereafter a bearing is calculated and it will be sent up to the control unit.The control unit will sense its own direction by a magnetic sensor that works as an electronic compass.

Under de senaste decennierna har föräldrar blivit allt mer delaktiga i sina barns skolgång (Erikson 2004), vi har intresserat oss för om detta fenomen gör sig gällande även då åtgärdsprogram upprättas. Syftet med denna studie är därmed att studera föräldrars delaktighet i utformande och genomförande av åtgärdsprogram. Utifrån detta syfte har följande forskningsfrågor formulerats: a) I vilken utsträckning är föräldrar närvarande då åtgärdsprogram utformas? b) Vilken position tilldelas föräldrar i åtgärdsprogram? c) Vad säger denna position om föräldrars delaktighet i utformande och genomförande av åtgärdsprogram?

Huvudmetoden har varit dokumentanalys och analysmaterialet bestod av åtgärdsprogram för elever i år 8 och 9, vilka avslutats mellan år 2000 och 2006.

The purpose of this study is to explore the concept of the immigrant-writer. By studying the literary criticism on four debutants, all of whom have been categorised as immigrant-writers, I have come to the conclusion that the critics tend to focus on the authors' otherness. By using postcolonial theory I've analysed the role as representatives of a supposed other reality that is imposed on these four authors by the literary critics. The theories of Pierre Bourdieu, especially his concepts of symbolic capital, literary field and position, have been used to contextualise these conclusions. Although the otherness that the critics accentuate seems to work as a negative symbolic capital in a bigger societal perspective, in the author's position within the literary field it grows their positive symbolic capital.

AbstractThis thesis discusses and analyses a 19th century female author's vanishing from history. The study investigates social relationships as figured and described in the epistolary form, based on letters between the author herself and different members of her family. It also tries to identify the author's position and situation in her time and society according to important themes and motifs in her novels. The main purpose is not to reconstruct history, but rather to show the many complex histories that can also be described, apart from the simplified and generalized one. The aim of this study is to, from a post-structuralist perspective, analyze the position of author Marianne Lundegård-Hagberg, and her role as a performative, discursive person that history forgot..

Innan vi började skriva vår uppsats trodde vi att mellanchefens position var konfliktfylld och upplevdes som en klämd position. Vi har gjort en kvalitativ studie och intervjuat sju mellanchefer inom försörjningsstöd. Dessa chefer befinner sig mellan överordnade såsom politiker och verksamhetschef och sin underordnade arbetsgrupp. Denna mellanposition karakteriserar en av våra intervjupersoner som en hamburgare, där mellanchefen befinner sig mellan de två bröden i hamburgaren. Syftet med studien är att försöka förstå och analysera vilka konflikter mellanchefer inom försörjningsstöd kommer i kontakt med utifrån sin position och vilka orsaker det finns till konflikterna, samt hur de löser och hur de skulle önska lösa dessa konflikter.

The aim of this thesis is to analyze and explain the similarities and differences in management control between a private and a public primary care company. A comparative case study was developed based on one public and one private primary care company in Stockholm County Council. The framework of Otley (1999) was used to define and limit the area of management control systems, according to his five factors. For the analysis of the empirical results Hood's (1995) seven doctrines of New Public Management was applied, and customized to fit the purpose of the study. The results indicate that the differences between the two organizations are very limited.
