The purpose of this MSc thesis is to examine the retrieval effectiveness of two Web search engines with queries from the academic discipline of Classical Studies. The two search engines are chosen to represent two different types Google as a broad general search engine and Argos as a specialised search engine for the subject of Classical Studies. The search engines are compared for precision among the first twenty results returned for thirty queries. In order to avoid bias in the study, the queries are based on real users' information needs. Due to the subjective character of the concept of relevance, the study is performed with five different experiments with five different definitions of relevance.

Denna uppsats undersöker om avslappning och massage kan ha en positiv effekt på gymnasieelever. Undersökningen har som mål att ta reda på om det finns ett behov för avslappning och massage i gymnasieskolan. Undersökningen är av kvalitativ form där fokus ligger på intervjuer som sker både innan undersökningen start och efter undersökningens avslut. Under två veckors tid får en klass på en gymnasieskola avslappning och massage i femton minuter varje dag. Utifrån projektets material och en litteraturstudium som innehåller tidigare forskning kommer uppsatsen att diskutera vikten av avslappning och massage i vardagen samt hur den påverkar kroppen.

Surrogacy is an arrangement in which a woman carries, delivers, and then relinquishes a baby to commissioning parents. The arrangement challenges traditional norms and definitions of reproduction, pregnancy and motherhood, and at the same time raises difficult ethical, philosophical and social questions. There is currently an ongoing debate in Sweden, where all forms of surrogacy is illegal. The debate is polemical and harsh, with advocates arguing that surrogacy is defensible on the basis of individual rights and women's right to choose over their own bodies, and those in opposition are convinced on an intersectional basis that women are being used and exposed on the market of surrogacy.The purpose of this study is to investigate the debate on surrogacy in the Swedish context. Using qualitative text analysis, the study aims to increase understanding about the debate over surrogacy by analyzing texts published in Swedish press during 2010-2013.

Emotionella ansiktsuttryck är en viktig social kommunikationsledtråd. Kognitivt bearbetas uttryck olika beroende av det emotionella innehållet. Uppfattningen influeras av sociala kategorier med ibland negativt utfall. Detta stereotypinflytande har ofta sitt ursprung från omedvetna processer och kan påverkas genom priming. Även kontextuella faktorer (dofter) influerar på uppfattningar av ansiktsuttryck.

Background. With the mental health care reform 1995, the long-term mentally ill patients were meant to be integrated in the society. Instead, they became ?deported? to mental health care. Aim.

Introduktion: Depression är en vanlig sjukdom som orsakar lidande för den drabbade och kostnader för samhället. Depression behandlas oftast med antidepressiva läkemedel som ger biverkningar, därför är det intressant att hitta andra behandlingsformer. Fysisk aktivitet förbättrar både den fysiska och den mentala hälsan. Sjukgymnaster arbetar med att genom fysisk aktivitet och träning öka funktion. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att fastställa evidens om hur träning vid depression påvekar depressionssymptomen.

In this two years masters thesis in Library and Information Studies, the Russian Library-Bibliographical Classification (LBC/BBK) and the Chinese Library Classification (CLC) are analyzed with regard to their historical and ideological backgrounds and their respective evolutions. The structure of these classifications is compared with the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC), as well as three chosen subjects (History, Politics and Religion). A qualitative comparative textual method is used.The study shows that these classification schemes, created at different times, different parts of the world, and different political systems, have different biases but give priority to the European before other foreign views. Otherwise, they often use a proximity principle. The CLC and the LBC were originally based on Marxist materialist principles but built in totally different ways.

The aim of this Masters thesis is to conduct an analysis of the Swedish classification system the SAB-system from a feminist and queer theoretical perspective. The theoretical framework of the study is feminist and queer theory as well as theories from Library and Information Science, mainly classification theory. The study takes its departure from the idea of classification systems as social constructs, reflecting their time, place and society. Paul Ricoeurs critical hermeneutics is used as methodological guidance. This gives room for a critical perspective in the interpretation.

Every year, KTH participates in the Shell Eco Marathon, a competition whose goal is to design a vehicle that can go as far as possible using only the equivalent energy of one liter of petrol fuel. This year, one of KTH?s contributions to this race is the Agilis prototype; a car powered by a uniquely configured HCCI-engine developed at the university. The engine is dependent of several subsystems in order to work properly, among other, systems for cooling and lubrication.Combustion engines are in need of a cooling system that reduces the heat developed during the combustion. In general, two main types of cooling systems are employed; either air cooling, where the outside of the cylinder is exposed to a flow of the surrounding air, ore water cooling, where water flows in tubes around the engine, and the heat are transferred by the water to the surrounding air through a heat exchanger.The purpose of the lubrication system is to prevent the friction that builds up in the interference between moving parts in the engine.

Examensarbetet utfördes på SP-Food and Bioscience (tidigare SIK-Institutet för Livsmedel och Bioteknik) och anknyter till projektet DynahMat (Dynamisk Hållbarhetsdatum för Minimerat Svinn). Syftet med examensarbetet var att undersöka hur väl tillväxten av mjölksyrabakterier predikteras av tre befintliga prognosmodeller jämfört med tillväxten av naturligt förekommande mjölksyrabakterier i MA-packad rökt skinka.Tillväxten av mjölksyrabakterier i rökt MA-packad skinka studerades vid tre lagringstemperaturer (4, 8 respektive 12 °C) och resultat visade att förskämningen av den rökta skinkan skedde snabbare vid en högre lagringstemperatur. De befintliga prognosmodellerna som tillämpades var modeller framtagna av Kreyenschmidt et al. (2010), Mataragas et al. (2006) och Devlieghere et al.

Många medlemsstater inom EU tillämpar idag sätesprincipen. Denna princip innebär att bolag lyder under den bolagsrättsliga lagstiftning som gäller där bolaget har sitt säte (styrelse, huvudkontor, huvudsaklig verksamhet etc.) Vissa medlemsstater tillämpar dock registreringsprincipen vilken innebär att ett bolag lyder under den bolagsrättsliga lagstiftning som gäller i den medlemsstat där det är registrerat oavsett var bolaget bedriver sin verksamhet. Motsättningarna mellan dessa principer har tidigare inneburit att bolags etableringsfrihet varit begränsad. Denna fråga har de senaste åren aktualiserats i ett antal förhandsavgöranden från EG-domstolen bl a Segers, Daily Mail, Centros, Überseering och Inspire Art. Syftet med denna uppsats är att analysera vad EG-domstolens rättspraxis har för konsekvenser för bolags etableringsfrihet inom EU.

Problem. Sponsorship has increased continuously during the 21st century, however, at the same time the public interest of traditional promotion has been diminishing. The meaning of sponsorship is a very diffuse and therefore the concept needs to be investigated. Due to the multitude of sponsorship and its impreciseness about its financial value, it is difficult to evaluate sponsorship for companies, especially when there is a difficulty in choosing a decent method for evaluation.Purpose. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the concept of sponsorship, motives for sponsorship and evaluation of sponsorship according to the theory and give empirical examples of how these areas are being managed by companies.Method.

The purpose of this essay is to investigate how social workers experience and understand subjects such as racism, discrimination, and similar attitudes that can exist in institutions of social work. We also want to bring to light how ?race?/ethnicity, gender and class are related to uneven access to Swedish welfare. Our main questions aim to examine how structural and institutional racism forms social workers daily practices and how this in turn affects ?immigrant? women.
