Träd är ett viktigt inslag i våra urbana miljöer och många av stadens träd finns på de begravningsplatser som är belägna inne i städerna. Den här uppsatsen handlar om dessa träd och några av de värden som träden har. Kulturhistoriska värden, biologisk mångfald och säkerhet tas upp och behandlas med fokus på den konflikt som kan uppstå då olika aktörer som arbetar med träd på begravningsplatser har olika intressen. Kulturhistoria, biologisk mångfald och säkerhet är alla viktiga att ta hänsyn till vid förvaltning och planering av träd på begravningsplatser. Detta kan bara ske om det skapas ett större samarbete mellan dessa aktörer som kan utgöras av länsstyrelse, biologer, antikvarier på länsmuseer och kyrkogårds förvaltning. I samband med arbetet har en inventering av träd på några av de äldsta kvarteren på Västra kyrkogården i Göteborg genomförts.

Android is one of the leading software platforms for the new generation of smartphones. The market for applications is growing rapidly. So to be able to compete with such large competition the applications need a solid and stable development methodology. Therefore have we created an application based on a test-driven development, to investigate if the methodology was applicable on the Android platform. The conclusion is that Android?s suitability for test-driven development is dependent on the application that is being developed and if difficulties concerning the testing framework can be avoided.

Randomness is a complex area of computer science, where only pseudo random numbers are possible to generate algorithmically.This report presents established algorithms for random number generation by conducting a basic study of relevant literature, while testing distribution and speed of the algorithms contained within the C++11 Random library. The results are compared to the algorithm XORShift and a modified version of it. The study shows that the modified algorithm passes all tests in Small Crush, andthat the run time is shorter than for those in the Random library. The conclusion is that it is possible to, with simple means, modify an algorithm to outperform the algorithms of the C++11 Random library..

Stockholms vattenskärning AB in Kungsängen has through the acquisition of a company begun to design and produce aircraft heaters whose origin is early 1970s which follows a high inefficiency in terms of energy consumption and size.The aircraft heater, which is sold worldwide, serves its purpose for customer satisfaction and has done so ever since it was developed in the 70s.Stockholms vattenskärning AB is now investigating the possibility in making the aircraft heaters more efficient, both in terms of energy consumption but also on a more efficient design with the belief that it would lead them to an edge in the market. The aircraft heater consists of several main components whose function altogether is to keep passenger aircrafts warm while they are on the ground.This project has been limited to the further development of the heat exchanger package which accounts for the conversion of the hot medium to the fresh air being carried in to the aircraft cabin. Work has been divided into different phases in order to create a better understanding of the project range and to make it easier to divide the various elements in the time available, 10 weeks. These phases are literature review, situation analysis, concept generation, CAD, concept comparison and writing reports.After the initial literature review was made, a fundamental theory was written which is essential in understanding the remaining parts of the project.With the theoretical part as support, measurements and calculations were made on the current heat exchange package in a situation analysis to ensure its operation and efficiency.In the concept generation phase, the collected facts from the literature review was used as the basis for creating a matrix. The purpose of the matrix was to indicate the two most suitable types of heat exchangers to develop four new concepts out of.In the CAD phase the four concepts was drawn up and then described with text and images.The last phase is the concept comparison where a concept selection matrix is used to function as a decision basis for further production at Stockholms vattenskärning AB. The four concepts have been developed based on the current heat exchanger and is gradually changed into a design of a cross-flow heat exchanger constructed out of stainless sections. The purpose of this is to have gradual upgrading of the heat exchanger as an option, in order not to saturate the market..

Bakgrund: Den svenska arbetsmarknaden står inför en stor förändring. De snart pensionsfärdiga medlemmarna av Rekordgenerationen (födda 1945-54) är på väg att lämna arbetslivet, samtidigt som den unga MeWe-generationen (födda 1980-89) precis har tagit, eller skall ta, klivet in i företag och organisationer. Forskare menar att ett generationsskifte kommer att medföra ändrade attityder, inställningar och värderingar i samhället och dess institutioner, då varje generations förhållningssätt till livet är unikt. Frågan är hur dessa grundläggande attitydskillnader avspeglas i de olika generationernas sätt att se på ledarskap, och chefens roll, i en organisation.Syfte: Syftet med vår uppsats är att undersöka och jämföra hur attityderna kring ledarskap ser ut bland några medlemmar ur MeWe-generationen respektive Rekordgenerationen. Anledning till att vi valt detta syfte är att vi vill se hur krav, förväntningar och önskningar på chefer kan komma att förändras, i och med genrationsskiftet av arbetskraft i organisationer.Genomförande: I avsikt att ta reda på studiens syfte, har vi genomfört 14 samtalsintervjuer med sju respondenter ur respektive generation.

The religious school of thought that is involved in the control of Saudi Arabia is called Wahhabism and is a form of Islam that is usually accused by outsiders of being misogynist. This paper will deal with the founder of this alignment of Islam, Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab, and his view of women in marriage. Another movement which in turn goes to work to lift the women's rights is Islamic feminists. Two branches of Islam who belief that Islam is the only right path to take for issues surrounding gender and life. In this essay, I will compare their respective interpretations of three points which concern the role of women in marriage; men's right to polygamy, men's higher status than the woman and the men's right to beat his wife.

In this day of age there is no clear definition of what leadership is and exactly what it means. Though something that all existing definitions of leadership have in common is that, it is a process of influence where the leader exerts influence over their subordinates. The concept of leadership can at first glance be seen as a clear substance that is easy to understand. However, this is not the case when one delves into the subject and begins to realize that leadership is a complex concept which includes a variety of things. How to best exercise leadership is a divided perception that may be completely different, depending on whom you ask the leader or the follower.In this paper the aim is to explore the leadership within the company Lycamobile located in Sweden, with respect to management.

There is a lot going on in the construction business right now. It feels like everywhere you turn there is a building sight. Furthermore the business is heading a generation change and the need of recruiting new construction engineers is huge. How is the business going to handle the transition that they are facing? The question has been in progress for at while and I wanted to find out what the current students feel about taking the step into the working life and replace the veterans.A research is made about student?s opinion about their education and future work life.

The tribo system ice-curling stone was investigated in order to understand the mechanisms behind the stones' behavior on the ice sheet. The problem with non-identical stones should also be addressed.The stone curls, that is, its sliding path deviates from a straight line to the right for a clock-wise rotation and to the left for a anti-clock-wise rotation. Several mechanisms to explain this behavior have been proposed over the years but none has been successful.By carrying out experiments at the local curling rink and studying silicon castings of ice- and stone-surfaces with scanning electron microscopy and vertical scanning interferometry, it has been decided that the curl is not due to dry friction, ice-debris or the difference in friction on the left and right side of the stone. The side force comes from the fact that the friction is higher at the back of the stone than at the front.The contact between stone and ice is never completely dry, nor in the hydrodynamic lubrication regime. It is probably a combination of hydrodynamic lubrication and a contribution from mechanical scratching of the ice.

Intresset kring mode är stort i Sverige och handeln med detaljhandelsvaror ökar för varje år. Det senaste året har dock varit tufft för många företag i branschen, både nationellt och internationellt. Rapporter visar att handeln ökar totalt sett i landet, men att det finns stora regionala skillnader. Storstäderna i landet ökar mest både befolkningsmässigt och handelsmässigt, på bekostnad utav övriga regioner. Rapporter visar även att trenden går mot att de mindre lokala butikerna blir färre och de stora butikskedjorna ökar sin utbredning världen över.Syftet med uppsatsen är att beskriva och försöka förklara om en mellanstorstad i Sverige har de förutsättningar som krävs för att etablera en butik från en världsomfattande modekedja, varvid huvudsakligen kvalitativ metod använts.

This thesis describes teh solution of two problems regarding safety on powered lawnmowers; protectning the users from injury when using the lawnmower in slopes, and when cleaning the cutting blade.The task was carried out through initial studies on a representative lawnmower.

The word resulted in a functioning prototype utilising an original way of detecting inclinations without incorrect signals. It c an serve as a platform for further development into a product.The work gives insightful experience of solving real-world problems, and especially to deal with situations where several variables and their effects are unknownPlease note that several parts of the work are confidential, and have therefore been removed from the thesis..

This paper investigates decision-making under uncertainty and complexity. The focus point of the study was to investigate how organizations in Stockholm has come to a decisions on how to manage the trial implementation of a congestion tax in terms of their company cars. The study was conducted as a survey with complementary interviews with the decision makers in change of congestion tax problem. The aim of the study was to gain an understanding for the decision making processes, and how and why the companies decided as they did. The theory on which we based our study emanated from both systems theory and business economic theory on decision making.

The aim of this master thesis is to create an understanding of what it can be like to grow older as a homosexual man in Sweden today. The study has an intersectional and queer theoretical approach and is based on eight in depth interviews with men who are aged between 68 and 82 years old. In the analysis I deal with the problem of how sexuality can be inter- preted with the experience of aging. Central to the analysis is the criticism of norms connected to age, sexuality, social- and family life and gay culture.The results show that the norm-breaking sexual orientation of the men affects their life path in terms of how to organize social life, where friends often replace the traditional family. New ways of forming relationships and living their lives imply other obligations rather than the traditional for significant others, which was shown to influence the expectations and outcome of old age in terms of care and support.
