In modern military operations the requirements of transmitting large amounts of information have increased substantially during the last decade. This increases the demand for high-capacity radio networks. It is also very important that military decisions are made on recent and correct information and this implies that low and known delays are required. The existing military radio ommunications, within the Swedish army, do not meet the requirements for capacity and delay. We have investigated how the capacity and average delay can be improved in an Ad Hoc network with STDMA by using antenna arrays.

For the past decades, culture has been given a role as a factor for local and regional development. But what is meant by development and in what ways culture can be of importance in this aspect can be unclear. This thesis examines the perception of the role for local and regional development of one specific cultural place and network ? the cultural cooperative Not Quite in Fengersfors, Sweden. I study the way the role as developer is expressed and interpreted in the discourse of the cultural workers who are members of the network and in the discourse of public cultural policy in the region Västra Götaland and in Åmål municipality.

Studies in the recent years have showed that the preschool playground is important for both the physical and emotional development of children. The Botkyrka local government has decided to improve their preschool playgrounds in order to take advantage of these studies. The administration of childcare and education in Botkyrka is arranging a network between the different preschools where they work together to improve their outdoor environments. The network is arranging workshops and seminars where people from the different preschools can come and gain inspiration for improvements of their own preschools. The administration of properties has created a document where they describe the changes that are supposed to be made to the different outdoor environments. Through the administration of properties and the person who is responsible for the outdoor environments I was introduced to their work with the preschool playgrounds.

Bakgrund: Alumninätverk är ett nätverk för tidigare anställda på ett företag eller för examinerade studenter från högskola eller universitet. Alumninätverk är ovanligt i Sverige, men i USA jobbar företagen aktivt med detta. I avslutningsskedet av en anställning kommer alumni in som en del i Employer Branding processen då ett företag vill behålla kontakten med sina före detta medarbetare.Syfte: Syftet med föreliggande studie är att få fördjupad kunskap om de för- och nackdelar som företag upplever med att inrätta alumninätverk och vilken effekt det får när ett företag inrättar ett alumninätverk.Metod: För att uppnå syftet med denna uppsats har jag genomfört en kvalitativ undersökning där jag intervjuat ett konsultföretag inom området alumninätverk för att erhålla ett expertutlåtande och fyra företag som idag driver alumninätverk för sina tidigare anställda.Slutsats: Alla företag jag har intervjuat är överens om att fördelarna med ett alumninätverk är många. Bumerangrekryteringsmöjligheten, ambassadörskapet, affärsnätverket och möjligheten att utveckla en kundkontakt i framtiden är fördelarna som främst tas upp. Min slutsats är att fler företag bör börja arbeta med alumninätverk för jag tror att generation Y kräver en strategisk Employer Brandprocess där alumni är en viktig del.

Att maximera sjukhusens och räddningstjänstens täckning av befolkningen är en viktig säkerhetsfråga som diskuteras inom bland annat hälsovårdsplaneringen. Geografiska informationssystem (GIS) kan användas som ett hjälpmedel för att analysera och presentera andelen befolkning som är utanför sjukvårdens täckningsområden och även visa variationer på täckningsområdena när anläggningar slås ihop eller läggs ned. Syftet med arbetet är att presentera en ny, vektorbaserad nätverksanalys i GIS-miljö för att undersöka hur täckningsområdena för räddningstjänsten i Uppsala kommun påverkas.För att utföra nätverksanalysen användes data från Nationella Vägdatabasen (NVDB) över Uppsala kommun. Attributen som användes från NVDB innehöll information om framförallt hastighetsbegränsningar, väghierarki, tid, restriktioner och gatunamn. Täckningsområdena beräknades med ArcGIS och tilläggsprogrammet Network Analyst och resulterade i en översiktlig karta med räddningstjänstens insatstider och även enskilda insatskartor.

Theft without break-ins has increased significantly in the last year of swimming, sports and leisure facilities in Karlskrona, more precisely 60%. Vandalism in the shape of graffiti is another common crime. The solutions are divided into social and situational crime prevention. Social crime prevention engage in actions that are based on social causes of crime rather than the opposite situational crime prevention, which instead assumes that discourage with the help of technical solutions and has as primary objective to hinder accessibility for example theft friendly goods. The main purpose of this work is to come up with solutions to prevent these crimes, while also being cost-effective and realistic to implement. The work is important in that it creates safety awareness and promotes a healthy safety culture. Moreover, the future goal is to lower these statistics. The goal of the work is in addition to developing our knowledge of crime subject, was also to provide help and solutions for our clients.

At Saab Aerosystems, situated in Linköping Sweden, there is a presentation and manoeuvre simulator simulating the fighter jet JAS-39 Gripen. This flight simulator is called PMSIM. In this thesis we study how to transfer sensor images generated by PMSIM to other simulators or desktop computers. The transmission is band-limited so some kind of image coding must be used. Because of this the greater part of this thesis is concerned with image coding.

An increasing global population and a worldwide growing urbanization has raised the questionabout the future food security in cities all over the world. Peak-oil limits the access to cheap fossilfuels which threatens the global food-supply chain. This has resulted in a larger awareness anddiscussion related to urban agriculture. Growing crops and keeping animals within the city-borderscould be one way of creating a more robust and sustainable food supply for city dwellers. However,to enable an expansion of the urban agriculture many theorists argue that policies and institutionalstructures that supports and promotes city farming have to be developed.

I have chosen to write this essay on language development in a preparatory class due to the fact that I live in a city where diversity is big and newly arrived students from different countries are constantly increasing in schools. My study has been made in a preparatory class in Södertälje. The National Agency for Education highlights the deficiencies in preparatory classes and believes that education is not adapted to each student's knowledge and maturity and it is therefore difficult for students to reach the goals in school. According to studies by the National Agency for Education, it appears that many newly arrived students do not recieve study guide in their native language, a resource that they are entitled to. Teachers and principals do not take charge of  students knowledge from previous school attendance in their home countries such as mathematics, history and other subjects.

The conception of exhaustion was first used in the end of 1960 and was then used in a psychological context directed towards the working life. Eventually was the conception devided into two main categories: mental and somatic symtoms. Today research of exhaustion is mainly aiming towards recovering and returning to working life.This work sets out to analyse the importance and effects of social networks such as family, friends and professional relations in helping people who suffer from exhaustion to recover. The study is based on interviews with eith people who have suffered from exhaustion but today are recovered. To my aid I have used tree different questions: What part have the social network of family and friends ment to the recovery? What part has the professional relationships with doctors, therapists and curators ment to the recovery? How have you changed your life in order to maintain balance?The interviews pointed out the importance of the social relationships as support, feedback and understanding that the process takes time.
