Denna uppsats undersöker hur kvinnor och mÀn i olika Äldersgrupper förhÄller sig till Flashapplikationer utifrÄn deras uppfattning om fÀrg och form. Deltagarna som bestÄr av skolungdomar, nyexaminerade studenter och pensionÀrer har genom en enkÀt och en semistrukturerad intervjuform fÄtt redogöra för sina intryck av Santa Marias, Eccos och Indiskas webbplatser. Undersökningsdeltagarna identifierar Flashelementen genom deras rörelser. Deltagarna vill vÀlja om de ska se animationer och andra applikationer skapade i Flash för att inte tappa koncentrationen frÄn övrigt innehÄll. Studenterna i undersökningen har en mer kritisk hÄllning till fÀrgval, formgivning och anvÀndandet av Flash Àn övriga.

Introduction: More and more companies have realized that keeping and using the knowledge in their companies is getting more important to get or keep a competitive advantage. The companies? organizational culture and knowledge management are essential to create knowledge transfer. Also that the employees and the leaders of the company knows how knowledge- and information transfer arknkoe done best for them. That is why we chose our purpose to be:The aim is to understand the differences between managers and employees perception about knowledge- and information transfer in a manufacturing company.

The emerging Swedish suburbs of the 1960- 1970s started out as a utopian vision: a new city for the modern people. Media presented a different view and emphasized the inhuman livingenvironment and the social problems of the suburbs. Nationwide there have been local attempts to avoid this negative publicity by adjusting identified suburban problems. Due to medial presentation the suburbs are still associated with segregation, criminality and social problems. The presentation of suburbs and immigrants affects not only the process of integration and the general public idea of integration processes, but also the individual perception of themselves and their living.

Tron pÄ den egna förmÄgan (self-efficacy) och upplevelsen av kontroll (locus of control) pÄverkar mÀnniskors agerande och bedömningar av sina möjligheter. Syftet med undersökningen var att öka förstÄelsen för hur studenter frÄn psykologlinjen i Stockholms Universitet bedömde sina chanser att fÄ ett arbete direkt efter utbildningen. Fyra studenter deltog i undersökningen och data samlades genom kvalitativa halvstrukturerade intervjuer. Resultatet visade att möjligheterna till att fÄ arbete efter examen ansÄgs vara goda men att den praktiska tjÀnstgöringen för psykologer, PTP, sÄgs som en flaskhals. Erfarenhet, kontakter, Älder, kön och utbildningsinriktning ansÄgs kunna pÄverka möjligheterna till att fÄ en PTP-tjÀnst och pÄverkade ocksÄ deltagarnas bedömning av sina chanser.

I robotikkursen Autonoma Mekatroniska System pÄ Halmstad Högskola finns ett problem som kan uppstÄ vid bygget av deras hjulförsedda mobila robotar. Studenter har en tendens att bygga roboten sÄ att den körs med maximal effekt frÄn start till inbromsning. Detta medför att vid test av deras robotar sÄ slits motorerna ut fortare vilket ger en onödig kostnad. För att minska pÄ kostnaden Àr mÄlet med detta projekt att bygga och reglera en sÄdan robot med hjÀlp av en banplanerare. Banplaneraren skapar mjuka övergÄngar vid start och inbromsning av roboten vilket gör att motorerna inte slits ut lika fort.I detta projekt ska vi utveckla en robot som kan anvÀndas som ett pedagogiskt undervisningsmaterial.

The purpose of this thesis is to examine how the Management Control System is affected by a change in the owner structure from family owned to not-family owned. The study also tries to identify explaining factors behind the possible effects to the Management Control System. The study is based on a comprehensive case study on the company Alcro-Beckers which, in year 2001, was acquired from the owner Lindéngruppen fully owned by Ulf G Lindén. The acquirer was the non-family owned company Kemira OY, a Finnish stock listed group. The empirical foundation mainly comes from interviews conducted with people who were/are directly connected to the company, either as employees or as representatives for the owner.

The objective of the present study was to evaluate distillers? dried grains with solubles (DDGS) as a protein source to rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), by studying digestibility and growth measurements. One control diet, totally lacking DDGS, and three test diets were made containing 10 % (low), 31% (medium) and 51 % (high) DDGS respectively on dry matter (DM) basis. The control diet and the test diets were made to be as nutritionally equal as possible. Wheat bran was used to balance the fiber content of the diets.

The loss of such great wetlands, which has arose in Sweden the last decades, has created a situation that threats both the function and the biological diversity within the wetlands. Many ecological niches can be found in the wetlands and it is one of the habitats where most different species exist. In the 17th Century people started to ditch damp environments, such as bogs, to create a productive cultivated ground. Further ditches were made when the forestry gave large economical profits. The wetlands were impoverished from both groundwater and nourishment, and this led to a great loss of species.In a corporation with WWF and Skogsstyrelsen in Arvika, the University of Karlstad has participated in the Laskerudproject, a hydrological restoration-project in a forest landscape.

HĂ€gglunds Drives in Mellansel, Sweden, manufacture radial piston hydraulic motors foremostwithin applications in the industry. These motors have several sliding contacts, one of these, isthe contact between piston ring and cylinder bore. The radial piston hydraulic motors advantageis to produce high torque in very low rotation velocity, this result in that the maximum slidingvelocity between piston ring and cylinder bore, during the whole stroke, is very low. Theconsequence of this low sliding velocity is that the contact between piston ring and cylinderbore, during the whole stroke, is bound to the boundary lubrication regime. This result in, thatthe piston ring is exposed to wear, thus affect the service life of the complete hydraulic motor.To minimize wear of piston ring, it is essential to determine the oil film thickness between thepiston ring and cylinder bore.

This study is based on interviews with four youths that have been treated for problems such as drugabuse and criminality. The aim of this masterÂŽs thesis is to examine the youths experiences with the treatment they received, but also to examine how they look upon their own lifesituations. The study is presented in categories developed through the use of Grounded theory. The result points out that the treatment can be summarized mainly in two aspects- one concerning care and one concerning control. The first aspect includes supportive and friendly staff while control in this context stands for rules and supervision of different kinds.

Fusarium graminearum causes reduction in both yield and quality in cereal grain worldwide. One of the diseases it can cause is Fusarium Head Blight (FHB). Both sexually and asexually produced spores can infect living plants. Asexual conidia are produced in the mycelium while sexual ascospores form in asci in perithecia on debris. In biological control, living organsims are used to control pests and diseases.

Abstract: Private equity used to be synonymous with tremendous yields and rates of return. However, the private equity market trembled in 2008, due to the financial meltdown caused by the worldwide credit crisis. Considering the current low number of exits within the private equity industry, the purpose of this thesis is to examine if there has been any change in how private equity firms control their portfolio companies since the inception of the crisis. One private equity company and two portfolio companies have been studied. The case study is prepared from interviews with senior directors in the portfolio company and investment managers in the private equity firm.

In this study, the efficiency of a newly launched predatory mite, Amblydromalus limonicus, has been examined for its potential to use as a biological control agent in cucumber production. A. limonicus can be used for biological control of two thrips species, Frankliniella occidentalis and Thrips tabaci. Field trials were conducted in greenhouses of two conventional cucumber growers in Scania, the southern part of Sweden. The basic control agent used against thrips was the predatory mite Amblyseius swirskii. In selected areas, additional A.
