Bilderboken Sagan om den lilla hinden kom ut 1924, bara na?gra a?r efter att kvinnlig ro?stra?tt info?rts i Sverige. Denna studie pekar pa? forskning som uppma?rksammat att Beskow tidigt fo?rde in samha?llskritik i sina barnbokstexter och att kvinnors yttrandefrihet la?g henne varmt om hja?rtat. Studien bekra?ftar och fo?rdjupar den bilden och visar bland annat att Beskow i Sagan om den lilla hinden anva?nder sig av sofistikerade littera?ra strategier fo?r att uppmana till motsta?nd mot sna?va och inskra?nkta samha?llsnormer samt pla?dera fo?r en friare samha?llsdebatt.

Volvo Human Monitoring (VHM) is an ongoing project at Volvo Cars where they measure, amongst other parameters, inhalation and exhalation through a device called Respiratory Inductance Plethysmograph (RIP), on drivers. RIP measures changes in the cross-sectional area of the chest and abdomen. When the driver is in motion, such as when she is turning the vehicle, the cross-sectional area changes and noise in the RIP signal may arise.The noise results in a large number of manual adjustments in the analysis of the RIP signal, which is very time consuming and the validity of the device for measuring inhalation and exhalation is questioned.The purpose of this study was to improve the efficiency of the analysis of the RIP signal. The goal was to create a new data processing tool in Matlab that automatically detects inhalation and exhalation from a RIP signal with higher validity compared to the previous data processing tool.In this study, nine tests were performed on drivers while they were driving in different scenarios such as highway, country road and in city traffic. Inhalation and exhalation was measured using a RIP, a pneumotachograph with a tightly sealed facemask and a thermocouple placed between the nose and mouth, which was used as reference to the RIP.The result of this study was a data processing tool that automatically detects inhalation and exhalation with higher validity compared to the previous data processing tool.

This project has as main goal to study the influence of the coating thickness, deposited by arc-PVD- technology, on the wear resistance of coated cemented carbide inserts in three different turning operations. An additional effort has also been made to develop a new test method for evaluating flank wear resistance. Three different coating types (Coating A, Coating B and Coating C) have been studied in three distinctive thicknesses (2, 4 and 6 µm) for each type. For two of the coating types (Coating A and B) special studies has been done with the thickest coating, creating two additional coating versions of the thickest coating, by changing various deposition parameters, with the aim to enhance the cohesive properties of the coating and lower the residual stresses at the cutting edge. The results show increased crater wear resistance with increased coating thickness for all coating types, but the amount of increase changes with coating type (Coating A>B>C).

Until the 1st of January 2003 there were thirteen processed meat products provided with name protection in Sweden. These products had to contain a certain amount of meat and/or a certain amount of fat to be allowed to carry a recognized name. Among these thirteen products, one could find, for example, meat balls (köttbullar), liver pâté (leverpastej), and Falun sausage (Falukorv). While imports of these products started to increase, the system with name protection lost its ability to guarantee a certain quality for all products sold in Sweden and the legislation was removed on December 31st 2002. At the same time, a common definition of meat was adopted in the European Union.

The jetengines of today are growing in complexity. Reliability for aircraft engines are of extreme importance, mainly due to safety reasons but also economical ones. This master thesis deals with faultdiagnosis in the turbine section of RM12, the engine used in Saab/BAe's Gripen. Three different faults which can occur in the turbine section was studied. These faults are: clogged fuel nozzle, hole in outlet guide vane and sensor fault.

The brown bear population in Alberta, Canada has been decreasing, while the Swedish has been increasing and all the affecting parameters are not known. This study examined the difference in these populations to see if an explanation could be found in differences between the forest management. The aim of the paper was to see if stand treatments had an influence of brown bears habitat selection in autumn in Sweden and how the results can be used in Alberta. This was done by analyzing bear positions in Sweden with forest data, and comparing forest management data for the study area in Sweden with forest management data for Alberta. The results displayed that mature forests over 60 years that have been commercially thinned are selected by bears rather than forests over 60 years that have not been commercially thinned in.

Grunda mjukbottnar i Sveriges kustvatten utg?r biologiskt v?rdefulla milj?er med funktioner som n?ringsoms?ttning, erosionsskydd och viktiga livsmilj?er f?r fisk. Trots detta ?r dessa habitat kraftigt hotade av ?kad exploatering kopplad till bebyggelse, turism och infrastruktur. Studien syftar till att unders?ka hur svenska kustkommuner hanterar skyddet av grunda mjukbottnar i f?rh?llande till befintlig lagstiftning och nationella riktlinjer.

With background in the rapidly growing need to find solutions for sustainable energy production and the increasing interest for wind power, this report was written. With take-off point from the wind power plant Big Glenn, which has been built in the harbour of Gothenburg, a model of the adjacent power grid has been created in Simulink/SimPowerSystems. Parameters for the power grid and its components has been provided by Göteborg Energi Nät, that has also been the supplier of measurement data of produced power, the power need from loads in the vicinity, voltage levels, current values and also the variation of power factor at the wind power plant.The SimPowerSystems model has been used to perform simulations of power flow in the grid. These simulated values have then been compared to the measured values to verify the functionality of the model. Further, the model has been used to perform simulations of a grid fault, which causes a voltage drop.

Deep litter is a system for animals kept in separate stalls, loafing and bedding in wind shelters. The litter can consist of different bedding, like straw and peat. The system is allowed to build over and to ensure optimal proportions it is necessary to add new straw regularly and to have good conditions. Important conditions are aerobic state, humidity, amount of organic substance and acceptable temperatures in the litter. The micro organisms are depending on temperature for their living conditions and to get the bottom layer in the litter to start burning.

The aim of this thesis is to examine interactivity in the context of performance-based interactive art. The questions asked are: what are the conditions of interactivity, how interactivity happens, and what artistic results it may yield. The method is an analysis based on close studies of three performance-based interactive artworks by applying theories of interactivity, audience participation, and collaboration.First, current theories are outlined, after which, the three artworks are introduced in detail. Next, the artworks are examined, thematically rather than individually, expanding on parameters such as the degree of artistic direction of the artwork, the degree of agency allowed to the spectator in their interaction with the work, and the idea of the ?passive? spectator as being ?activated? by interactive art.

?r 2018 b?rjade en ny lag att g?lla i det svenska utbildningsv?sendet. Det innebar att f?rskoleklassen blev obligatorisk och att barns skolplikt b?rjar det kalender?r de fyller sex ?r (SFS 2010:800). Dilemmat ?r att samtidigt som denna nya lag tr?dde i kraft, f?rsvann specialskolorna och i den anpassade grundskolan finns ingen f?rskoleklass.

Den stora manliga dominansen inom musikbranschen, och dess olika villkor fo?r kvinnor och ma?n, har lett till uppkomsten av organisationer som vill utja?mna ko?nsbalansen. Popkollo fo?rso?ker uppna? detta genom att ordna musikla?ger, speciellt riktade till tjejer.Syftet med min underso?kning a?r att fa?nga unga musicerande tjejers bera?ttelser om sina upplevelser innan, under, och efter ett Popkollo. Dessa upplevelser skildrar jag utifra?n en kvalitativ intervjustudie med 18 kollodeltagare fra?n sommaren 2013.

Allt fler barn f?r diagnosen autismspektrumtillst?nd (AST) b?de i Sverige och internationellt. Forskning visar att barn med AST ?r i behov av ?kat st?d och n?rvaro av pedagoger p? f?rskolan och att pedagoger genom att anv?nda tydligg?rande pedagogik kan skapa st?rre f?rf?rst?else inf?r ?verg?ngar. Forskning visar ocks? att det ?r viktigt att bygga en f?rtroendefull relation till barnen med AST och att det barnen beh?ver mest st?ttning kring ?r ?verg?ngar mellan olika aktiviteter. Det st?rsta sk?let till att det uppst?r sv?righeter f?r barn med AST i f?rskolan ?r dock att pedagoger saknar kunskaper kring bem?tandet av deras olikheter. Denna studie vill synligg?ra vilket st?d pedagogerna erbjuder barn med AST i ?verg?ngar p? f?rskolan och hur detta st?d kan p?verka barnens k?nsla av sammanhang (KASAM).

AbstractThis essay deals with young people?s written language. It is often said that the student?s ability to write is worse today compared to earlier generations. The written language is an important condition for knowledge, therefore it is of great importance that all students, after finished secondary- and upper secondary school, have acquired an adequate language which is suitable in the public room.The fact that young people?s language is worse than earlier generations is a constantly recurrent assertion and often debated in school.

The ability to detect protein-based biomarkers, which are linked to different diseases like colorectal cancer, is very important as a diagnostic tool. Usually complex biological samples like blood are studied which will contribute to different technical issues when performing an assay. The aim with the project is to optimize and develop the high throughput protein detection technique Proximity Extension Assay, PEA, into a 96-plex panel, in hopes of discovering an expression profile for colorectal cancer. PEA was developed by Olink Bioscience and allows specific proteins in a sample to be quantitatively transformed into nucleic acid sequences that are subsequently detected and quantified with real-time PCR. Two proximity probes containing oligonucleotide sequences bind pairwise to target protein and when brought in proximity, a DNA polymerase will extend a hybridization arm from one probe over to the second forming a double-stranded DNA sequence that can serve as a template in real-time PCR.
