The use of mobile devices has during the last years expanded and on the market you can see a huge amount of applications. The development of mobile applications differs from traditional systems development since Mobility infers that mobile applications can be used in different technological and social contexts. Although previous research has recognized that Mobility can present mobile application developers with certain challenges, empirical studies of how problems arise and how they can be handled has thus far been limited. In this study we focused on the requirements engineering process from a development view with the purpose of finding challenges emerging in the development process. The study is based on a qualitative case study that employed semi-structured interviews with both project managers and system developers active in the requirements process.

In Sweden there are 560 000 disabled people over the age of 16, half of those are in use of some kind of Mobility device.Living with a disability means that due to injury or illness you are having trouble functioning without devices or assistance in your daily life and has a big impact on the independence of the disabled user.The everyday life for disabled parents with young children are different depending on the type of disability and Mobility device.Today there is no alternative to the stroller for the disabled user who use Mobility advises. This causes problems when the disabled person on there own have/want to move the child.The following statement have been the cornerstone for this project: How to make it possible for a wheelchair user to move a child, in the 0-2 year, for longer distances with a focus on independence and safety for both adult children?Due the process, of industrial design, this question and problem have been solved during 10 weeks. The process have contained parts as meeting with users, analyzing, concept development, evaluations, mock-up making, testing, shape & color development etc. This in the end have resulted in a full scale model of the appearance of a proposed product.The result is a stroller witch can be connected to the users specific wheelchair due two one time adjustments.

AbstractAim: The aim of this study was to investigate if treatment with ?dry needling? in myofascial triggerpoints (MTrPs) in the rotatorcuff muscles may affect impingement symptoms such as pain during provocative tests, shoulder Mobility, and function. The research questions were: Does the value of pain change on the Visual Analog Pain Scale (VAS) between before and after treatment? Do the positive provocative tests for impingement change between before and after treatment? Does the active shoulder Mobility change between before and after treatment? Does the self-rated function change between before and after treatment?Method: The study was a prospective randomized intervention study and 19 persons with impingement symptoms (mean ± standard deviation; 58 ± 18 years, and shoulder pain duration 3.9 ± 1.6 months) were randomized into two groups. The groups were tested before, directly after and 3 weeks after treatment.

The question to be answered is what motivate and justify that 4G is put intooperation from different perspectives. The study is based upon secondary sources, such as literature studies,as well as an empirical data collection from two interview studies. The reusults obtained, which motivateand justify the introduction of 4G technology, is that it is necessary in order to meet future communicationneeds.

Idag lever 80 procent av Europas befolkning i urbana miljöer. Städerna står för 70 ? 80 % av energianvändningen i EU och står för lika stor andel av växthusgasutsläppen. Transporter är helt nödvändiga och viktiga för staden och samhället, men är också källan till trängsel och miljöproblem i våra städer, så som lokala luftföroreningar, utarmning av icke förnybara fossila bränslen, fragmentering av öppna ytor med vägar, växande förorter samt nedbrytning av stadsdelars livskvalitet. Inom dagens stadsplanering ses transporter som en viktig del i styrningen mot en hållbar stadsutveckling och det är allmänt erkänt att det finns ett behov av att hantera efterfrågan på resor. Denna studie visar på att infrastrukturutbyggnaden är en viktig del i att ge goda förutsättningar för hållbara transportslag, emellertid kan den fysiska strukturen enbart hantera en del av trafikproblemen.

In light of the massive property bubbles that have been bursting in the USA, Spain and Ireland during the last decade, the aim of this thesis is to clarify whether ? or to what degree - the municipality of Stockholm might experience a property bubble in the near future. The municipality of Stockholm is undergoing a housing shortage and house prices have risen during the last few years. Neoliberalism and property bubbles are used as a theoretical framework in this paper. The methodology consist of semi structured interviews, analysis of documents and statistical data from Eurostat, Valueguard and the Swedish administrative authority; Statistiska centralbyrån (SCB).

During the time I've attended the programme to become a Transportation manager, I've been presented with quite a large number of different words. My purpose with this paper is to take a closer look at them, and see if they're sustainable concepts. This paper will be a literary study, and be on a wholly theoretical level. After a thorough examination of the various words, I've come to the conclusion that these words that I've chosen aren't just fad-words. They're going to be around for quite a while, this due to the fact that they're based on good ideas from the get-go.

Syfte: Att testa hypotesen om effektiva marknader. Denna uppsats avser att undersöka effektiviteten i samband med att ny insiderinformation tillfaller den svenska aktiemarknaden.Metod: Kvantitativ studie som via en deduktiv forskningsansats ska teori pröva effektiva marknadshypotesen. Med en eventstudie som statistisk metod försöka mäta effekterna av en specifik händelse. Genomsnittlig avkastning samt ackumulerande genomsnittlig avkastning beräknas och signifikanstestas utifrån formulerade hypoteser.Teoretisk referensram: Givet syftet för uppsatsen tillämpas effektiva marknadshypotesen för att analysera empiriska resultat.Empiri och resultat: Kvantitativ data har använts i form av avkastningen för 35 börsnoterade bolag under 11 dagar, vilka främst redovisas genom tabeller och grafer.Slutsats: Resultaten påvisar inget samband mellan information om insynshandel och överavkastning på kort sikt. Resultaten från studien tyder på att det inte går att imitera insynspersoners handel och genom detta skapa en överavkastning.

Introduction: Sex and education level has demonstrated effects on health status.Osteoarthritis is a widespread disease that causes reduced health-related quality of life and isthe most common reason for total hip replacement. Osteoarthritis was ranked as the 11thhighest contributor to global disability as reported in the Global Burden of Disease 2010.Aim: The aim of this study was to explore how sex and education level together affectedhealth-related quality of life after total hip replacement. The aim was also to examine whatdimensions of EQ-5D that changed.Methods: The study is a prospective observational study with a quantitative approach. Dataconsisted of education level, obtained from Statistics Sweden (SCB) and health-relatedquality of life before and one year after total hip replacement from the Swedish HipArthroplasty Register (SHAR). Health-related quality of life was measured with astandardised instrument, the EQ-5D, and the study population consisted of 39,141 patients.Results: Womens? EQ-5D-value, before and one year after surgery, were lower in alleducational categories compared with men.

Utvecklingen av delade mobilitetstj?nster, s?som bildelning, cykeldelning och mikromobilitet, har framh?llits som lovande l?sningar f?r att adressera de utmaningar som pr?glar urbana transportsystem. Dock visar tidigare forskning att dessa tj?nster huvudsakligen anv?nds av m?n. Det finns ocks? en brist p? kunskap om varf?r kvinnor ?r underrepresenterade i anv?ndningen av delade mobilitetstj?nster och hur dessa tj?nster kan anpassas f?r att gynna kvinnors r?rlighet. Denna uppsats bidrar till att ?ka f?rst?else f?r de hinder som begr?nsar kvinnors j?mst?llda anv?ndning av delade mobilitetstj?nster samt vilka anpassningar som kan g?ras f?r att b?ttre tillgodose kvinnors r?rlighet.

Recent changes in Swedish law suggest new groups of ?desired? labor migrants, which international students is an example of. Despite this, international students in Sweden have received little previous attention in the literature. The current study focused on international master students? experiences of job searching in Sweden and challenges they face in job searching, recruitment, and workplaces.

Osteoartrit (OA) är ett mycket vanligt problem hos hästar och har i många fall sitt ursprung från felaktig belastning av leden, blir ofta kroniska och omfattar inflammation i ledens samtliga ingående delar. Resultatet är bland annat nedbrytning av ledbrosk och matrixkomponeneter. Idag baseras diagnostik och framtida prognos mestadels på den kliniska bilden och/eller bilddiagnostiska hjälpmedel. I denna studie har två inflammationsmediatorer; interleukin 1? (IL-1?), high Mobility group box protein 1 (HMGB-1), och ett enzym; matrixmetallopeptidas 13 (MMP-13) mätts i ledvätska och serum med hjälp av kommersiell enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)-teknik. Hypotesen är att dessa är förhöjda i ledvätska från leder med konstaterad hälta. Tjugonio ledvätskeprov och 11 serumprov från 11 hästar som sökt till Universitetsdjursjukhuset i Uppsala för hälta analyserades i denna studie.

This graduate thesis deals with the challenges facing us as we gradually make our urban environments withtheir many public buildings, such as shops, cafés and cinemas, more accessible for disabled people. Theperspective taken is that of the conservationist, who in her or his profession looks to the cultural andhistorical characteristics in buildings and building environments. In order to gain better accessibility, changesin the physical fabric need to be made, with consideration for the cultural and historical characteristics.The introduction presents the subject of considarate accessibility. The second chapter deals with the legalaspects concerning the protection of buildings as well as the accessibility for disabled people. Severalinterviews with different participants are presented here, aiming to tie the legislation to the reality of theconservationist, the disabled, the civil servant working with accessibility issues and the property owner,whose responsibility it is to make the adjustments necessary to improve accessibility.
