This paper covers how a company must act to become ?greener? and yet still increase profitability with the main emphasis on the inner structure of the company. The research is focused on the Swedish security systems company Niscayah AB, part of the multinational corporation Niscayah Group with approximately 6000 employees. A company can be assumed to consist of seven parts (strategy, systems, structure, super-ordinate goals, staff, skills and style) that have to cooperate for the firm to be able to become more environmentally friendly. Also, the economic performance is of importance and therefore that too is examined.

The running of gas turbines with low emissions causes high pressure pulsations to arise in the combustion chamber. These pulsations are high amplitude sound vibrations. At some frequencies these are harmful to the gas turbine. Hence these pulsations are monitored to avoid operating conditions where pulsations are specifically harmful. It is necessary to expose the system of known pulsations to verify the functionality of the monitoring process.

This paper aims to examine how, and if, music is being used integrated in other subjects thanmusic in school. The study is based on qualitative interviews and I haveinterviewed fourteachers, regardless of whether they use music a lot or not.The questions the study is basedon are if there might be a connection between theteachers' own feelings for music andwhether they use music inschool or not, how music is being used and does the use of musicgive any effects?The result of this study shows that there can be a connection between the teachers ownsfeelings for music and the fact if they use music when they teach or not.

The purpose of this study is to explore how teachers in Sweden and Croatia work with children that have problems like ADHD and dyslexia in school. I have chosen to compare pedagogical methods between Swedish and Croatian teachers which are used in work with children with difficulties when it comes to the education and teachers approach to these children. I have done a qualified study and have interviewed teachers in both Sweden and Croatia and one specialist in pedagogy in Croatia. I compared with these interviews information from earlier studies and literature. Results show that teachers in Sweden are of the opinion that every student who has these difficulties is different and therefore the use a variation of pedagogical strategies is crucial.

The aim of this study is to examine the experiences of the personnel who have attended the Taktipro introductory course with special focus on how they describe the possible effects this may have had on their daily attendance to their special needs users.The method used is a qualitative method of enquiry, based on interview questions sent by mail to all the participants of the Taktipro introductory course. The result shows that the personnel have a positive view on skills in progress and that this program has facilitated the contact between personnel and their special needs users. An awareness about the importance of physical contact has also been revealed as well as an awareness of their own impact on situations at work. The result also indicates that the personnel feel that they have been able to improve the well being for the special needs users. .

Som en del i Maskiningenjörsutbildningen vid Karlstads Universitet har detta examensarbete utförts under en 15 veckors period. Uppdragsgivare är Scana Steel AB:s stålverk i Björneborg och arbetet behandlar en av deras traverser. Arbetet bestod i att lokalisera och om möjligt förinta vibrationer som uppfattas som störande i förarhytten till traversen. För att lokalisera vibrationerna har olika analyser genomförts med hjälp av SpectraPro samt Vibshape, vilket är två mjukvaror tillhörande mätutrustningen Easy Viber. Dessa två program ger oss möjlighet att se animeringar av traverskroppens rörelse och visa spektran för specifika punkter.Analyserna visar på att förarhytten huvudsakligen rör sig vid tre olika frekvenser.

Syftet med denna undersökning var att undersöka olika pedagogers uppfattning om vilka behov barn med koncentrationssvårigheter har och hur musik kan fylla dessa behov. Sex personer, fyra kvinnor och två män, intervjuades. De hade alla erfarenhet av både musik och barn med koncentrationssvårigheter. Intervjuerna varade i 30-60 minuter. Metoden var löst strukturerade intervjuer och samtalen tolkades på ett hermeneutiskt sätt.

Purpose/Aim: The aim of this thesis was to study the construction of gender and to compare Media?s portrayal of male and female athletes.Material/Method: 140 articles covering seven famous Swedish male and female athletes were selected from two Swedish newspapers (Aftonbladet and Expressen). The articles has been analysed within the frames of Norman Faircloughs Critical Discourse Analysis.Main results: Male athletes are often described in powerful ways and are framed as being strong and successful. Skills and strengths of women athletes are often devalued in comparison to standards of hegemonic masculinity and self-control. They are often framed as women and girlfriends in advantage of the fact that they are athletes..

Syftet med denna undersökning har varit att få en inblick i hur några lärare i årskurs fyra och fem tänker och planerar för att inkludera alla elever och få dem, även de med koncentrationssvårigheter, att klara av skolan och få de kunskaper de ska ha. För att undersöka detta sökte jag kontakt med några erfarna lärare, besökte dem i deras klasser och genomförde intervjuer med dem. Mina intervjuer var halvstrukturerade och blev därför lite olika beroende på vilken skola det var och på den jag intervjuade. Resultaten av undersökningen visar att lärarna betonar samma faktorer som aktuell forskning visar på. Lugn och ro i klassrummet, tydlighet, variation i arbetet, individuell anpassning, hjälp och uppmuntran, goda föräldrakontakter och goda relationer mellan lärare och elev var faktorer som togs upp.

The aim of this study was to examine creativity, measured with four different tests, and self-image in 18-19 year old women (N = 30), and their earlier presence of imaginary companions. The result showed that there were many correlations between the different creativity measurements. Self-image correlated significant with fluency of ideas in one test. "Psychological health" along with "skills, talent and abilities" were the two most important self-image aspects for creativity. We found negative relationships between imaginary companions and creativity, but a positive relationship with self-image.

The purpose of this study is to investigate what five primary teachers in five different schools with many second language students have for an idea about inclusion, language development, practices and environment of the multilingual classrooms. In my study I discusses teachers 'views on the multilingual classroom, inclusion, development of language in a language developing classroom environment and the importance of language skills has for multilingual pupils' language development and learning of the Swedish language. The method used was unstructured interviews using a digital recording device. The results showed that for these five teachers, meeting second language learners was in there everyday teaching, while it is a challenge to motivate and support them on their level. The teachers work diligently to find a balance and a working classroom environment for the multilingual classroom where all students, regardless of conditions, background, experience, knowledge and language could be offered an equal opportunity to education. .

Volvo Motor AB i Skövde tillverkar motorer till Volvos personbilar. Tillverkningen av motorerna är till stora delar automatiserad. Den planerade produktionsökningen kräver att monteringsfabrikens kapacitet ökas från 370 000 till 450 000 stycken motorer per år, vilket dagens monteringssystem inte klarar av.Dagens monteringssystem för yttre komponenter är uppdelad i ett antal monteringsmoduler. Tack vare hög flexibilitet klarar monteringsmodulerna att hantera både 4-, 5-, och 6-cylindriga motorer. Volvo Processutvekling Skövde arbetar med att ta fram ett monteringssystem med erforderlig kapacitet.

The purpose of this thesis is to explore pupils' motivation for participating in Physical Education. The thesis also investigates the definitions of sport and health and to what extent pupils make any connection between the school subject physical education and their own physical and health status. A semi-structured interview was carried out with thirteen upper secondary school pupils with special needs on the Individual Programme. The interviews were recorded digitally and then analyzed. The results show that there is no unified definition of the school subject among the pupils.
