The goal of this project was to create a web-based, crowd-sourced, correlational database, that easily allowed users to submit objects and receive correlated objects as results. The webservice was created in the web development languages of HTML, CSS, PHP and Javscript, with MySQL to handle the database. Simultaneous development was kept in check with the aid of the source code management system GIT. Upon completion, the service contained several HTML-views, the ability to add and rate objects, a per-object dedicated page with information parsed from Wikipedia.org, and a view with objects ranked in accordance to the preferences specific to the current user. Roughly a month after the beginning of development, the website was publicly launched and promoted in order to collect data, and improvements were added to the website as needed.

Akvaponik beskrivs som en innovation som kan fr?mja h?llbar livsmedelsproduktion, samtidigt som dess implementering ?nnu inte har n?tt kommersiell framg?ng. Tidigare forskning identifierar flera hinder f?r en etablering av systemet i olika delar av v?rlden, men situationen i Sverige ?r mestadels outforskad. Denna studie unders?ker vad som hindrar kommersiell akvaponik i Sverige utifr?n ekonomiska, regelm?ssiga, sociala och milj?m?ssiga aspekter, samt hur dessa hinder kan motverkas.

Contemporary plant design can be examined by how it relates to two extremes - Nature and Art. This idea is explained by Noel Kingsbury in the book The Dynamic Landscape where he places designers and their projects on a gradient (Kingsbury, 2004). Nature, one of the extremes can be represented by a dynamic, species-rich plant design with native species and with nature as the ideal. The other extreme - Art implies a more static view on plant design. Here, the designs consist of colourful flowers, exotic species and cultivars with double flowers.

The work was carried out on Termisk Systemteknisk?s office in Linköping. The aim was to create a computer system with infrared camera technology for quality control and temperature monitoring of manufacturing processes in industry. The system should be configurable such that it can be used on several different issues, including those where the real-time analysis of camera images is required.The developed system is based on an existing framework, Panola, to deal with measurement results and images in a database. The framework is built for the system continually check for new data , and the task was to create a foundation upon which to build systems that use the framework, but fully or partially utilize direct calls .

Det här examensprojektet har utförts på Volvo CE, Hauler & Loader Division, Arvika. Projektet ingick som ett avslutande moment i maskiningenjörsprogrammet vidKarlstads universitet. Volvo i Arvika tillverkar hjullastare vilket man har gjort sedan mitten av 60-talet. Fabriken har idag ca 1150 anställda som tillsammans levererar över 6000 hjullastare per år.Produktionsvolymen i Arvikafabriken ökar allt mer vilket medför att ett behov av många investeringar för att klara denna volymtillväxt har uppstått. Den huvudsakliga tillverkningen på svetsavdelningen består av fram- och bakramstillverkning.

Abstract In high voltage substations there is an increasing demand for computerized equipment, and automation of operation and supervision. The future primary equipment will provide the possibility to collect more information and to provide better control for improved effectiveness. Since ABB has got a large customer target, each product must be custom made to fulfil the customers (often from different countries) demands. Later these products will be configured by engineers who may not be familiar with the tools used at ABB. This is a very expensive and time consuming.

An organization that uses all of its improvement opportunities has a great advantage compared to its competitors. It is an important task when it comes to continuous improvements of every process. Up until September 2007, Husqvarna AB had a suggestion committee who evaluated every suggestion separately and the proposer received a payment if the suggestion was approved by the committee. However, this system did not work satisfying enough to fulfill Husqvarna?s needs and they are now looking for a system that can handle the ideas from the employees in a more effective way.

Internet has made information more easy to get, but also more difficult to retrieve. There is a need for information retrieval systems that assure accurate, reliable and up to date information. Quite a number of both commercial and non commercial search services has been developed on the Internet. We have made a qualitative study of one for-pay product in particular, NetS k, produced by BTJ (Bibliotekstj nst), Lund. It is a database that contains collected, evaluated and classified links, and is especially developed to suit public librarians in Sweden.

F?rorter, omr?den som pr?glas av konsekvenserna av ekonomisk oj?mlikhet och utanf?rskap. Socioekonomiskt utsatta omr?den d?r inv?narna lever i ?r en milj? med f?ruts?ttningar och m?jligheter som ?r f? och emellan en milj? d?r bristf?lliga resurser och f?ruts?ttningar ger kriminaliteten utrymme att trivas i. Alla tycks ha n?got att s?ga om f?rorten, f?rutom m?nniskorna som ?r bosatta d?r.

Boliden Mineral Ab's mine in Garpenberg, Dalarna is going through a massiveexpansion. The annual ore production is being increased from 1,4 million tons to 2,5million tons in less than two years period of time. Along this expansion thedepartment of mining techniques is administrating a project of optimizing the shortterm planning for the mining production. Garpenberg have since mid 90s storedinformation from all mining processes in a database.The information consists of time data from all the different activities required in themining process, for example charging, blasting, loading etc. The database also containstime data of delays that are affecting the production.

Bakgrund och problem: H?llbarhet och milj? har de senaste ?ren kommit att bli en alltmer aktuell och central del av f?retagens strategi och aff?rsid?. Det har blivit mer relevant i takt med att f?rst?elsen kring hur konsumtion och produktion p?verkar milj?n har ?kat. Som en f?ljd av det har cirkul?r ekonomi kommit att bli en process som f?retag till?mpar f?r att f?rb?ttra sitt klimatavtryck.

With many different elective courses to choose between, a lot of students  experience anxiety over deciding which courses to study next semester. The  choice of a specific course can have a big impact on the students future studies  and/or employment. Therefore the anxiety is justified. At the same time the  number of students applying for a course often vary from year to year. This  creates issues for the responsible teachers because of the ever-changing  resource requirements.There are several different theories on decision making, addressing the  different time related states as well as the different habitual styles.

Bakgrund: F?r?ldrars delaktighet i v?rden av sitt sv?rt sjuka barn ?r en h?rnsten inom familjecentrerad v?rd. Tidigare forskning visar att f?r?ldrar ?nskar vara delaktiga, men upplever att m?jligheten ofta begr?nsas av organisatoriska faktorer och barri?rer skapade av sjuksk?terskor inom intensivv?rden. Syfte: Att unders?ka sjuksk?terskors upplevelser av f?r?ldrars delaktighet i v?rden av deras sv?rt sjuka barn p? en intensivv?rdsavdelning.

During the past decade, consumer health information-centers have been developed at the hospital libraries in Sweden in order to meet the increasing demand from patients and their relatives concerning consumer health information. In 1993, the hospital libraries in Falun, Västervik and Karlstad launched a consumer health information database called PION. The aim of this Master's thesis is two-fold. My first aim is to describe and discuss the principles of user-oriented evaluation. In my attempt to convey the theoretical discussion into the everyday life of librarianship, my second and most important aim is to conduct a user-oriented evaluation of the database PION.
