This Master?s thesis concerns the public librarian?s professional identity. The complexity of the mandates of the public librarian, and the public library, raises questions on how librarians understand their professional identities. The empirical material consists of qualitative in-depth interviews with librarians. Two theoretical approaches are used in the analysis of the material with a focus on the public librarians? knowledge and professional role.

The soybean can be used in multiple ways, and its high oil content makes it suitable for extraction. Soy bean meal, a by-product of the oil extraction, is a good source of protein with a high feeding value, and is therefore used in a number of different animal feeds. Further, soy bean meal has a low production price, which is one of the reasons for the extensive export of the product. There is a great demand for vegetable-based proteins, especially in the organic production where synthetic amino acids are banned. However, the current production of soy beans is not environmentally sound and that combined with the long transport distances amplifies the need of finding a locally produced protein source.

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.

SecRePac is a household appliance that simplifies sorting of packaging such as milk, juice and yogurt containers. By shredding the packages SecRePac reduces its volume uptake both in the home and at the recycling station. This leads to minimization of both transports to the recycling stations and truck transport for emptying the containers at the recycling station.The greenhouse effect deteriorates and becomes worse and worse leading to extreme climate changes and natural disasters such as floods as an example. Carbon dioxide emissions are the major reason for this and at least 30 percent of all these emissions come directly from transports. In the EU carbon emissions has decreased in the past few years.

When the emissions from the diesel trucks today accounts for a large part of the total emissions from the road traffic, the trend with a more extensive use of diesel trucks for transportation will therefore lead to increasing carbondioxide emissions to the atmosphere. Because of the fact that technical progress in the form of optimized engines and shifts in the means of transport sometimes result in even greater emission levels, other solutions to this problem must be studied to decrease the emissions of carbondioxide from the diesel trucks. The purpose of the thesis is to show how a decrease of the carbondioxide emissions from diesel trucks in Sweden can be achieved in a costeffective way by the use of a carbondioxide tax and a differentiated vehicle tax. The method used in order to fullfill the purpose of the thesis is studies of literature, mainly of public government reports. Literature of enviromental economics will be used to show the need of a tax and how to determine the dynamic effective carbondioxide tax in steady-state.

The aim of this thesis was to investigate the accessibility and activities for dyslectic adults in public libraries in the Swedish county of Södermanland. The questions that were to be answered were four; to what extent do the libraries provide book material and special computer software? To what extent do activities occur? Does the library staff have awareness and knowledge of dyslexia and of activities for dyslectics? What are the obstacles for good service for dyslectic library users? Two methods were used. As a first step, a questionnaire was sent to thirty public libraries. The questionnaire elicited a low level of response, but gave in spite of this an overview of the situation for dyslectics in the libraries of the county.

At present Getinge can offer a new generation of trolleys that they produced in 2011. The trolley used to Getinge various autoclaves and has the primary task to help the user/sterilization personnel to transport shelves or baskets, with or without cargo, from a packing table to the autoclave. The purpose of this thesis has been to develop a primary solution how the docking process between Getinge trolleys and autoclaves can be improved. The work has in most part followed Fredy Olsson principle and primary construction method. The work has included product research, study visit and development of a requirements specification, to satisfy Getinge, their clients and circumvention products requirements.

 Psykosocial arbetsmiljö är ofta ett bortglömt redskap för företagare som vill vara konkurrenskraftiga på den globaliserade företagsmarknaden. I föreliggande studie undersöks den psykosociala arbetsmiljön hos två branscher, transport och tillverkningsindustrin i Jämtlands län. Mätinstrumentet som används är Rubenowitzs psykosociala arbetsmiljö-kartläggning enkät (PAK), som mäter fem faktorer: egenkontroll, stimulans från själva arbetet, arbetsledningsklimat, arbetsgemenskap och optimal arbetsbelastning. Studien undersöker sambandet mellan de fem faktorerna, ålder och branschtillhörighet. Analyser av de fem faktorerna visar att de har ett svagt till måttligt positivt samband med varandra.

The text deals with the process of reorganizing and cataloging the archival material emerging from State secondary grammar school in Falun, which appears to have been poorly managed for a number of years. The work was done with consideration to former ways of organizing the material, and a great deal of research was needed in order to establish the outer provenance of the archive.The theoretical discussion goes deeper into the questions of provenance and appraisal in regard to the work,and some choices, especially the decision to reorganize the archive, are motivated with reference to Swedishrules and regulations concerning state authorities' archival management and their duties towards Swedish citizens..

?Mitt examensarbete har gått ut på att producera en informationsfolder om chefsrekrytering i offentlig sektor för tidningen Dagens Samhälles räkning. I min rapport redogör jag för hur jag har gått till väga och varför jag har gjort som jag har gjort med hänvisning till kurslitteraturen. Under arbetets gång har jag fått bra möjlighet att tillämpa de kunskaper jag fått under mina studier i informationsdesign.Jag har också jämfört mitt färdiga material med en liknande folder som gjordes av samma tidning, på i stort sett samma tema, för cirka 20 år sedan. Jag ville på detta sätt se om mitt informationsmaterial är bättre ur ett informationsdesignperspektiv än ett material som producerades för 20 år sedan är.

This Master Thesis is a product development project that has been carried out in cooperation withSvea Teknik AB. The company has developed an apparatus for attachment of a keel to a hull base ofa boat. The purpose for this thesis has been to compare a new concept of keel attachment incomposite material to thetraditionaldesign solution. This new keel attachment minimizes thedamages that may arise on the keel and the hull of the boat in shape of stresses impacts at grounding.Today it is a problem, relating to keel attachment on sailing boats having a fin keel or a bulbous keel.The manufacture focus on developing larger draught and shorter keel blades. The overall purpose isto increase performance of the sailing boat.The task for this thesis was to develop a concept of keel blade in composite material and investigateattachment to a sheet-shaped element.

Syftet är att ta reda på och analysera vilka förutsättningar företag måste ge personalen för att de ska kunna ge bra kundservice.Vi har använt oss av ett induktivt arbetssätt för att ta reda på vilka förutsättningar ett företag måste ge sin frontpersonal för att de ska kunna ge bra kundservice. Fyra personliga intervjuer med frontpersonalen har genomförts i en butik som tillhör en stor butikskedja. Ytterligare en personlig intervju har genomförts med en person på ledningsnivå. Material har även hämtats från företagets organisationsmanual där deras kundservicestrategi nämns. Eftersom företaget vill vara anonymt med tanke på det konfidentiella material som vi har tagit del av, kommer inte företagsnamnet eller intervjupersonernas identitet att röjas.

Detta examensarbete handlar om arbetet med glas i gymnasieskolans undervisning. Det övergripande syftet med arbetet var att skapa en inblick i hur arbetet med glas kan gestalta sig i gymnasieskolans undervisning samt att tillhandahålla en överskådlig arbetsbeskrivning av tillvägagångssätt, tekniker och material för arbete med glas i bildundervisning. Det sammantagna arbetet är således utformat som två separata delar. Det övergripande syftet med den vetenskapliga rapporten var att utifrån intervjuer med tre lärare ge en inblick i hur arbetet med ett material som traditionellt inte ingår i bildundervisningen kan se ut samt att undersöka hur de intervjuade lärarna gått till väga i upplägget och utformningen av arbetet i sin undervisning. Den andra delen av arbetet har karaktären av ett arbetshäfte där olika tekniker och material som kan användas inom arbetet med glas tas upp.

Scientologikyrkan har sedan dess uppkomst på 1950-talet fått utstå stor kritik. Rörelsen har av somliga målats upp som en farlig sekt medan andra väljer att se den som en ny religiös rörelse, vars lära och praktik, exempelvis dianetiken, ska tolkas i en religiös kontext. Denna studie bygger på en kvalitativ textanalys som går ut på att granska den bild av scientologerna som skildras i olika material, så som rörelsens eget, facklitteratur, tidningar samt skolans undervisningsmaterial. Studien avgränsar sig till att endast behandla scientologerna i Sverige. Olika teorier och tidigare forskning kring sekter och nya religiösa rörelser har applicerats på materialet.
