The aim of this study is to examine and analyze how management control mechanisms evolve within an organization when a requirement of return on equity is imposed, as well as why the mechanisms evolve the way they do. A case study was performed on Samhall, a Swedish state-owned company, which has the aim to help people with disabilities develop by providing meaningful work. The framework provided by Samuelsson, defining five means of control in organizations was used to structure the study. Further, theories within New Public Management have been used to provide the reader with a proper background to the research area. Theories from the institutional field of organizational research have also been used to provide further depth to our analysis.

Prosodi utgörs bland annat av variationer i tonhöjd, sÄ kallade tonglidningar. Dessa tonglidningar förmedlar sÄvÀl sprÄkligt som emotionellt innehÄll i talet. FörmÄgan att uppfatta skillnader i tonhöjd kallas frekvensdiskriminering. Eftersom denna förmÄga kan pÄverkas negativt av en sensorineural hörselskada Àr det tÀnkbart att hörselskadan Àven kan pÄverka perceptionen av prosodi. Syftet med studien var att undersöka om det finns ett samband mellan perception av tonglidningar och perception av prosodi samt om det finns en skillnad i dessa förmÄgor hos normalhörande respektive personer med en hörselnedsÀttning.

Background: It is common that children and adolecsents with Aspergers syndrome have impaired motor skills and are less physically active than neurotypical children and adolecsents. Studies conducted on neurotypical children shows that children and adolecsents who are regular physical active also have a good motor control and a good physical self-esteem. The purpose of this study was to investigate the physical self-esteem of children and adolescents with Aspergers syndrome. Study Group: 36 children and adolescents aged 9-15 years with a diagnosis of Aspergers syndrome was asked to participate in the survey. 18 children, 16 boys and 2 girls, responded to the questionnarie about physical self-esteem which 17 of the answers could be used in the study.

Aim Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire 2007 (DCDQ'07) is an international survey tool based on parents' estimation of their child's motor coordination skills. The purpose of this study was to investigate the validity of a Swedish version of DCDQ'07 by finding out how the classification of Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) via DCDQ'07 is consistent with the classification of DCD via the motor impairment test, Movement ABC.MethodIn the context of a larger study, a Swedish translated version of the parent survey DCDQ'07 were sent to 4000 randomly selected families with children aged 8 - 10 years in Stockholm County. The classifications "DCD" or "NOT DCD" with cut-off values ??of 56 (9 years) and 57 (10 years) were applied. Forty families were selected from 410 registered responses.

Hawk Turbine AB tillverkar mindre jetmotorer som ofta anvÀnds i smÄ obemannade och radiostyrda flygplan. I flygplansmodellen Lockheed T-33 Shooting Star Àr motorn monterad inuti planet varför luften mÄste ledas ut till atmosfÀren. För bÀsta möjliga prestanda mÄste ejektorn och utblÄsröret som leder luften dimensioneras efter motor och flyghastighet.En 3-dimensionell CAD modell av flygplanets installation skapades och dÀrefter simulerats i en virtuell vindtunnel med hjÀlp av datorprogrammet SolidWorks Flow Simulation. Flera olika utblÄsrör i varierande storlekar samt olika former har testats för att avgöra om Àndringar kan förbÀttra prestandan ytterligare.Simulationsresultat visar att det gÄr att förbÀttra nuvarande konfiguration med 5,99 % om diametern pÄ utblÄsröret minskas frÄn 75 mm till 70 mm med en bibehÄllen form pÄ utblÄsröret..
