Smärta är en vanlig orsak till att människor söker akutmottagningar och patienter med smärta blir ofta undermåligt smärtlindrade. Smärtan är en subjektiv upplevelse som även präglas av tidigare erfarenheter i livet. Genom att identifiera faktorer som påverkar patientens tillfredsställelse med smärtlindringen kan vårdpersonal ge en mer optimal vård och undvika ett vårdlidande för patienten. Litteraturstudien är baserad på 11 st kvantitativa internationella artiklar med kvalitativa inslag. Granskning av artiklarna visar att det finns faktorer som påverkar patientens tillfredsställelse.

Sveriges riksdag fattade 2001 beslut om att Försvarsmakten skall inriktas mot ettnätverksbaserat försvar, NBF. Mycket av NBF utvecklingsresurser inriktas mot tekniklösningar.Denna uppsats fokuserar istället på mänsklig kommunikation inom NBF, ochhar som målsättning att dra nytta av erfarenheter vunna inom Flygvapnets snart 60-årigaerfarenhet av utveckling av nätverksliknande system med interaktion mellan ledningscentraleroch personal som bemannar plattformar. Undersökningen pekar på att det finnsett antal faktorer som kan vara viktiga att beakta i utvecklingen av NBF.Undersökningen ger vid handen att frågor som förtroende, vikten av relevanta regler ochbestämmelser samt framför allt förståelse för en helhet och samverkande aktörer, ärväsentliga för optimal verkan..

Examensarbetet har gått ut på att uppgradera ett styrsystem och en operatörspanel för en centrifug i en kemisk industri. Projektets syfte är att centrifugen ska köras på ett mer automatiskt sätt med ett nyare system som har större tillgång till reservdelar.          Centrifugens äldre styrsystem från Siemens har bytts ut mot ett nytt Siemenssystem och den tidigare operatörspanelen från Siemens har bytts ut mot Beijer Electronic E1070 operatörspanel. Styrsystemet programmerades sedan i Siemens Simatic Step7 och operatörspanelen programmerades i Beijer Electronics E-designer.                Efter att programmeringen var klar testades kommunikationen mellan styrsystemet och operatörspanelen innan inkopplingen av det övriga systemet skedde.

The company Sound Precision has developed a new Line Array loudspeaker system (VHA-40). When using this system, their customers need computer aid to get the best possible sound-quality and control of sound levels for the whole audience. The aim of this thesis is to develop a truly useful sound quality simulator for the VHA-40. The system will help the sound engineers to position the loudspeakers for optimal sound by simulating loudspeaker configurations and visualizing the resulting sound quality and quantity. To solve this a human-centered design (HCD) approach is taken to implement a system that is truly useful for the users, meaning that they will use it more and hence deliver better sound for the audience.

Vår läromedelsanalys syftar till att utröna i vilken utsträckning kreativitet förekommer i skriftliga uppgifter i tre läromedel i tyska. För att få svar på våra frågeställningar har vi gjort en kvalitativ analys utifrån variablerna; styrning, arbetsform och variation. Vi utgick ifrån teoretiska resonemang kring kreativitet och kursplanen 2000 samt Lpf94, vilka förespråkar såväl kreativitet som interaktion men också varierande arbetsformer. Resultatet utifrån läromedelsanalysen av läromedlen, Deutsch Optimal 1, Lieber Deutsch 3 och Meine Welt neu, visar att majoriteten av de skriftliga övningarna är starkt styrda och att det sällan ges utrymme för kreativitet. Läromedel ska fungera som hjälpmedel för att eleverna ska uppnå de mål som ställs upp i styrdokumenten, vilket vi menar att de undersökta läromedlen inte gör..

The out-of-town retail establishments are part of the dramatic structural changes in the retailing of food and groceries. There are however strong indications suggesting these establishments result in negative externalities concerning areas such as pollution and urban environment. The purpose of this study is to describe and, from an economic perspective, analyse the Swedish political regulations and planning policies concerning the out-of-town supermarkets. The analysis establishes that the current regulations regarding out-of-town retailing do not, due to the occurrence of market failures, produce an optimal situation. It might therefore be necessary to change the planning policies in a more restrictive direction.

Återköp har varit tillåtet fullt ut i Sverige under fem år. Då det enligt vår kännedom inte har publicerats någon undersökning av vilka faktorer som motiverat företagen att företa återköp under den period det varit tillåtet har vi ansett det angeläget att uppmärksamma detta område. Vi har således undersökt om ett antal motiv till återköp belagda i utländska undersökningar kan förklara återköpen som gjorts av de svenska börsnoterade företagen. De olika motiven är förekomsten av överskottskapital, undervärdering, en icke optimal kapitalstruktur och ledningsoptioner. Undersökningen har vi genomfört med hjälp av en regression och en medelvärdesjämförelse.

This Degree Project was about finding the best loudspeaker placement in a heavyweight truck and also the best suited loudspeaker for this task. The project took place in Södertälje, Sweden, on behalf of Scania CV AB. The goal was to create a new listening environment in a truck cabinet.The results were accomplished by the performance of a few different tasks. First a benchmark was made on Scanias top competitors. Second a listening test was made to get an apprehension of what people find lacking in the sound reproduction of the sound system.

The aim of this Master?s thesis is to examine the function of the budget as a means of control within an organisation in the public sector. To accomplish this, a case study has been conducted on a certain business unit within Luftfartsverket responsible for providing Air Traffic Control services. The thesis is built on a framework of contemporary theories of budgeting and includes a brief discussion of the weaknesses usually associated with the traditional budget. The conclusion of the study is that the use of budget as a means of financial control within Luftfartsverket is not efficient enough at the moment.

This dissertation was made since we wanted to investigate the conception called quality within the school sector. What it means and if there is something that can give an explanation of how they  at look at the conception within the school sector. This will be the benchmark through the dissertation, trying to find out the most important things which might be equal to quality within the school.To find the answers of our questions we will read literature according to the subject. To get an increased understanding we will interview some people within the school efficacy, and give students a survey to fill in.The most important results from our investigation is to look at everything in its entirety, not only look at what grades students get. Even though this the most narrated sign of quality.

This report is a thesis work for a B.Sc. in Forestry at the School for Forest Engineers, SLU. The work was an assignment from Jarlträ AB which is a privately owned sawmill located in southern Småland. The aim of the work was to investigate the economical result of different pricelists and how to adjust different parameters such as length correction to give an optimal result. The pricelists was examined through a computer program (SilviA). The pricelists was made in the program and after that a simulation was preformed with a selection of random sampled trees gathered from the area nearby the sawmill.

At the farm Fride, in Lojsta at the Southern part of Gotland, my family runs a pig production with 80 part-integrated sows in a ?Familybox-system?. The main parts of the facilities are from the early 90´s and have done their job. The production results have the last years decreased because of new infections so we have to do something before shifting ownership! This degree thesis is meant to answer the question about which the optimal extension would be today. By studying literature, use my own experience and make lots of calculations, I try to find out different opportunities.

In this project forging of aluminum alloy Al 6026 T9 has been performed in the temperature range of 400 °C ? 470 °C. The alloy which was in the shape of a cylindrical billet was formed in a press with the aim of analyzing the effect of different forging temperatures and required press load for optimal die filling. The component?s dimensions were later measured and compared to a reference piece.

As reptiles are becoming more common as patients in veterinary clinics, there is a need for creating new procedures regarding the care of exotic pets. The aim of this study was to develop a wound care routine adapted to reptiles, which can be used independently by a veterinary nurse due to the absence of prescription drugs or surgical techniques. The study was conducted by compiling the available research regarding wound care in reptiles, as well as research from related fields. The result indicates that polyurethane films and chlorhexidine-alcohol may advantageously be used on these patients. Hydrocolloid dressings and silver sulfadiazine dressings have adverse effects on wound healing and should not be used routinely in reptiles.
