Det är svårt att utveckla en mobiltelefon som är attraktiv för alla olika typer av slutanvändare. En av faktorerna som gör att mobiltelefonen anses som attraktiv är att den skapar mervärde genom att uppfylla slutanvändarens behov och önskemål. Studien undersöker vilket värde som läggs på användarresponsen, som inhämtas via användningstest, i utvecklingen. Detta försöker studien besvara genom kvalitativa intervjuer med två testledare från Sony Ericsson, samt sex användare som deltagit i användningstest. Intervjuerna fokuserade på respondenternas åsikter om värdet av användarrespons.

Denna uppsats belyser om, och i så fall hur, 3G-tekniken förändrat döva ungdomars vardagliga kommunikation samt hur döva använder denna nya innovation. Litteraturen beskriver hur viktigt det är med kommunikation för personlig utveckling och det har därför varit intressant att undersöka hur ungdomarna själva ser på sitt användande av tekniken. Vi har undersökt en grupp döva ungdomar och deras användande av 3G-telefoner; deras attityder gentemot telefonerna och användandet av dessa. Undersökningen har genomförts med semistrukturerade intervjuer på teckenspråk med hjälp av en teckenspråkstolk. Tidigare medier för mobil avståndskommunikation som funnits tillgängliga för döva har varit begränsade till textbaserad kommunikation.

Samhällsfunktioner och andra typer av tjänster erbjuds i allt högre grad via webben. För att inte riskera att stänga vissa grupper ute från de fördelar denna utveckling erbjuder, behöver tjänster på webben göras tillgängliga även för grupper med särskilda behov. Gemenskap och delaktighet även för grupper med särskilda behov kännetecknar ett demokratiskt IT-samhälle. Förmågan att hantera tid är central i människans liv. Webbtjänster som vill erbjuda sina användare kognitiv tillgänglighet måste ta hänsyn till tidsförståelse som en kognitiv aspekt.

Body image in women with breastcancerBreast cancer is the second most common form of cancer in Sweden today. To get a breast cancer diagnose can be a traumatic experience for many women. It´s difficult to forsee how these women are going to control their situation.

The purpose of my study was to examine a competence-development in care of older people in which some of the personnel have been ?spjutspetsar?. More specifically my aim was to investigate how the personnel managed to supervise others in the organization. My main research questions were: How do the care-managers and the care-workers persecute their functions as ?spjutspetsar?? What form has the internal meeting between the competence-development and the organization ideology taken? What possibilities and obstacles have the care-managers and care-workers been confronted? In my study my research method is based on eight qualitative interviews.

Arbetets syfte var att undersöka hur lärare använder miniräknaren i sin undervisning men även hur eleverna använder den och om det finns några skillnader i attityder och användning mellan elever och lärare. Undersökningen gick också ut på att se om användandet har ökat eller minskat i gymnasieskolan. Arbetet syftade också till att undersöka om det finns några skillnader mellan tjejer och killars attityder till miniräknaren och tjejer och killars användning av den. En lärarenkät och en elevenkät delades ut på fem olika skolor och dessa låg till grund för undersökningen. Resultatet pekar på en ökad användning, en mer positiv attityd till miniräknaren hos gymnasielärarna och att alla lärare, i någon form, tar hänsyn till miniräknaren vid prov.

The purpose of this study was to investigate and to bring attention to the phenomenon of violence in young relationships and to highlight the differences between adolescent and adult partner violence. Through semi-structured interviews with three school counsellors and three professionals who work with either adolescents or partner violence, gotten an insight into how they work with partner violence in adolescent relationships. The focus in the interviews was to get their perspective and experience on questions about the differences between adult and adolescent partner violence and the hardships that come with that. I concluded that youth exercise a lot of control and jealousy over each other, and that this has become normalized because of social media and different norms that are developing in the younger generations. It was also found that there are a lot of difficulties in the work with adolescent partner violence since it is hard to identify the expressions of violence in young relationships..

In the proposition Nya förmånsrättsregler, 2002/03:49, the government suggests a new bill of beneficial rights, or FRL. The proposition has several changes, mostly for The Banking system. One of the changes is that the banks´ individual beneficial rights shall be replaced by a general beneficial right, where the beneficial value never exceeds 55 percent of the value of insurance bonds. Previously, the beneficial value was 100 percent.The purpose of this essay is to evaluate the relationship between the banks´ activities, and the new bill of beneficial rights, especially what the effects will become for the public companies within the printing houses, with 1 - 49 employees in the Skåne Region.The survey includes a total of 142 companies and it was distributed via e-mail. The conclusions from the study are that there are tendencies of increased difficulties for companies to get their credits granted by the banks.

Nätverk med stöd av Internetportaler skulle kunna vara en bra lösning på delar av föreningars kundhanteringsproblem. Det möjliggör skapandet av ökat mervärde på sponsorernas satsade kapital samtidigt som det kan generera ett ökat socialt kapital för de involverade aktörerna. Detta sociala kapital skulle sedan kunna omvandlas till ekonomiskt kapital i en förlängning. Det är dock så att satsningen kräver en del resurser från föreningens sida och ett brinnande engagemang för att fungera tillfredsställande. Föreningen kan dock vinna mycket då nätverket kan skapa en större sammanhållning mellan förening och sponsorer vilket borde öka långsiktigheten i sponsorernas engagemang.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the forest managers view of the edu-cation at the School for Forest management at SLU and the first years of em-ployment. Surveys were sent to batches 05/08, 06/09 and 07/10 a total of 136 question-naires were sent out. 80 people answered the survey, this gives a response rate of 59 percent The former students rated according to a 9-grade scale how satisfied they were with the different courses they had attended during their years as students at the school. The courses in mathematics and statistics got the highest marks with an average of 7.3, while the entry-level course in law only got an average of 4.6. A major part of the former students had in the questionnaire enquired a leader-ship course and a business course with focus on negotiation techniques during their education. There is a wide variety of employment opportunities for the graduated students. Timber buyers and forest managers or planners are just a few positions that for-mer students now possess. The study shows that there is a big difference in the first introduction to a new work place depending on where the student got hired.

Denna uppsats grundar sig i en kvalitativ studie som behandlat fallgropar som återfinns inom projektstyrningen i IT-projekt. Att IT-projekt ofta framställs som över tid och budget och därmed som misslyckade var ett intressant fenomen som vi ville titta närmare på. Vårt fokus låg på själva projektstyrningen av projektet och av den anledningen uteslöts faktorer som utvecklingsmetod eller designaspekter i projektet. Vårt syfte med studien var att undersöka varför IT-projekt inte når framgång ur ett projektstyrningsperspektiv och vår centrala frågeställning var vilken inverkan har projektstyrningens fallgropar på ett IT-projekts framgångar? För att besvara vår uppställda frågeställning utfördes en litteraturstudie där vi tittade på förändring i organisationer, motstånd mot förändring samt de fallgropar som kan återfinnas vid projektstyrningen av ett IT-projekt.

This essay is about human beings. These human beings in particular are priests and LGBTQ-persons who work in the Swedish Church in Växjö diocese.

These interviews have been analyzed through queer theory and Mary Douglas theory about anomalia.My aim with this essay is to find out what it means to be a LGBTQ- person and work as a priest in this diocese.I wanted to learn more about where the difficulties lie. How the priests are treated by others and how they see themselves.

The objective of this literature study was to describe the nurse?s preventive actions to prevent diabetes type 2 among children and adolescents in school age. It emerged from the analysis that the nurse is working according to three pillars; screening, lifestyle changes and counselling/education. This result showed that what often increase difficulties when working with screening are: undefined guidelines, lack of time and resources. Overweight/obesity is one of many indicators to develop diabetes type 2, therefore it is important that both BMI and waist are measured.

The work has been carried out in cooperation with the company Zenit Design in Malmö. The project's goal was to restore, improve and produce an ozone generator. During the project, the authors sought relevant literature in databases, been in contact with US suppliers of fuel cell membranes, Asian suppliers for the processing of Teflon and Titanium parts in mechanical engineering and Swedish suppliers of various standard components. The authors had access to a temporary lab at Zenit and electron microscope at Halmstad University where material tests were performed. The authors have also had access to measurement equipment to measure amounts of ozone.During the work, the authors have mapped how an existing ozone generator works and then have their own development.

ABB Surge Arrestors in Ludvika have for a long time had a problem to keep the moisture at a steady state in the production of their ZnO-powder, that is used to produce varistors.Some black-box models of the spray drying process have been designed and evaluated to find a solution for the problem. After evaluating the collected data it has been found that variations in the supply voltage causes control difficulties for the operator. A cascade control system was designed, consisting of three PI control loops designed with lambda tuning. The disturbance in the supply voltagewas used as a feed forward in the control system.At the end of the project the control system was installed, and tests were made to verify the functionality of the regulator. It was shown that most of the variations in the moisture of the powder could be eliminated using small resources, through purchase of a process controller and four power meters.
