Detta arbetes syfte är att fördjupa kunskapen om den mentala förberedelsens betydelse inför musikaliska framträdanden bland konstmusikaliska blåsmusiker. Genom att undersöka hur professionella musiker agerar mentalt före, under och efter konserter är avsikten att isolera framgångsrika tankemönster och mentala strategier. I sökandet efter tidigare forskning och böcker fann jag att inte mycket forskning bedrivits på området. Jag har läst och sammanfattat ett antal böcker om vad nervositet beror på, samt olika mentala strategier för att hantera problematiken. Därefter har jag med kvalitativ intervju som metod intervjuat fyra professionella blåsmusiker i den konstmusikaliska genren.Ingen av de intervjuade ansåg sig använda några speciella mentala knep.

Emotron is a company specialised in developing, producing and marketing equipment to con-trol, monitor and protect processes and machinery driven by electric motors, with an applica-tion focus. Examples of uses for their products are fans, pumps, lifts and cranes.The project is to look at Emotrons end of line test. The company has seen that at the final test-ing there is a bottleneck that restricts the outflow and prevents an increase in the number of tested products.The purpose of this project is to review how Emotrons end-of-line test works today and if there is a possibility to make the test more efficient in such a way that the quality is not at risk, while increasing the outflow of tested products.The projects first step is to look at and analyse what is causing the bottleneck at the end-of-line. When the analysis is complete, the next step is to review whether there is a possibility to solve the bottleneck and if so in what way can this be done. Emotrons most overall objective of the project is to increase the outflow of the number of tested products without jeopardizing the quality.An analysis has been made on frequency inverters, soft starters and shaft power monitors.

Android is one of the leading software platforms for the new generation of smartphones. The market for applications is growing rapidly. So to be able to compete with such large competition the applications need a solid and stable development methodology. Therefore have we created an application based on a test-driven development, to investigate if the methodology was applicable on the Android platform. The conclusion is that Android?s suitability for test-driven development is dependent on the application that is being developed and if difficulties concerning the testing framework can be avoided.

Detta examensarbete grundar sig på en undersökning gjord med elever i en 4- 6:a med 18 elever i Luleå kommun under vårterminen 2003. Syftet med arbetet var att undersöka om eleverna efter min undervisning använde sig av huvudräkningsmetoden tiotalsövergång, då de löste de centrala uppgifterna i undersökningen. Under mina litteraturstudier har jag funnit att arbetet går att förankra till såväl styrdokument som tidigare forskning. Metoden jag har använt är ett inledande test följt av ett skriftligt intervjuunderlag och muntliga intervjuer med fyra elever, på liknande sätt avslutade jag undersökningen. Däremellan fick undersökningsgruppen kontinuerlig undervisning i tiotalsövergångsmetoden.

Syftet med föreliggande studie var därför att undersöka sambandet mellan femfaktormodellen av personlighet och utmattningssyndrom bland gymnasieungdomar (N = 119). Utmattningssyndrom delades till dimensionerna fysisk, mental och emotionell trötthet. Korrelationer och multipla regressionsanalyser beräknades.

Militärförband utsätts för olika stressmoment i sitt arbete på insats och de behöver optimal förberedelse inför detta, annars kan det få katastrofala följder. Föreliggande studie syftar till att fördjupa förståelsen för den praktiska och mentala förberedelse Försvarsmaktens anställda får inför utlandstjänstgöring och hur den hjälper dem att hantera de olika stressmomenten, samt att bidra med förståelse för hur man kan utveckla denna förberedelse ytterligare. Studien baserades på djupintervjuer med åtta deltagare som tjänstgjort i Afghanistan och analyserades med tematisk analys. Resultatet visade på hur socialt stöd, kamratskap, erfarenhet, mental beredskap, praktisk träning och utbildning gynnar individer i sammanhang med psykologisk stress medan oro för anhöriga och maktlöshet missgynnar, även om det till stor del är individuellt. Detta diskuteras i termer av stress, anpassning, brister, konsekvenser och utvecklingsmöjligheter..

Quality is the main focus in management of all laboratories. Accurate results of the analyses are not only determined by the analytical procedure but also by preanalytical factors. In the total analytical process of clinical specimens, there are many possible preanalytical sources of error. Monetoring of temperature on test samples of the transport boxes is one way to reduce the mistakes in the preanalytical phase.In this study, four laboratories from primary health care were invited to participate. The temperature has been measured on test samples of the transport boxes being delivered to the laboratory.In three cases the temperature remained within the limits, but in the fourth case the temperature varied more than the allowed interval.

The purpose of this essay is to examine the everyday beliefs about mental illness surrounding the disease and how these are expressed and affects the sick life and identity. The focus is on the sick perspective, where a concept of norms, normalization and taboo forms a basis in the use of materials, which here consists of qualitative interviews and Internet forums. This is analyzed and then discussed with the help from structuralism and poststructuralism approach, where I mainly refer to the social anthropologist Mary Douglas, ethnologist Lars-Eric Jönsson and philosopher Michael Foucault. In the discussion vented even historical aspects of the subject and how these might have followed in our time and how beliefs about mental illness is created and maintained by the norms within a society / culture including the sick..
