Svenska försvarsmakten utvecklar sedan en tid ett datoriserat ledningstödssystem (FUM SLB) som skall stödja ledning vid markstrid. Problem har uppstått med de i systemet ingående symbolerna vad gäller synlighet mot bakomvarande kartgränssnitt.Syftet med föreliggande arbete har varit att undersöka om symboler med tilläggseffekter såsom skuggverkan och transparent ifyllnad ökar i synlighet jämfört med symboler utan tilläggseffekter. Synlighet definieras i rapporten som urskiljningsbarhet av symbolerna mot bakomvarande kartgränssnitt och urskiljningsbarhet av detaljer i symbolerna.Såväl kvantitativa undersökningar som kvalitativa har genomförts. I de kvantitativa undersökningarna kan inte ökad synlighet fastställas på grund av varierande resultat. För de kvalitativa undersökningarna har symbolen med skuggverkan upplevts öka i synlighet jämfört med symbolen utan tilläggseffekter..

This is a study of an experimental project called ?Eget företagande ? egen försörjning?. The aim of this thesis is to explore if the course self-employment in Swedish for immigrants will become a permanent activity. The study is based on interviews with participants from the projects management team and the interviews has been analysed with methodological inspiration from Jonas Söderlunds project competence model.

The purpose of this paper is to present a possible understanding of why the company Tekola is segregated according to sex. In accordance to this purpose, an understanding of how the segregation affects the employees in relation to power, values and possibilities is discussed. The theoretical understanding is that the organization of men and women within Tekola is done in close connection to creation of the meaning of gender in Tekola. This, in turn, affects and is affected by the recruitment to and within the company. Through the study of statistics from a survey, five interviews with employees and former employees and Tekolas? equality plan, we are able to see the possible existence of a glass ceiling, and a culture of homosociality, which affects the possibilities of women to enter the company and also to gain full entrance to power-positions in a negative way.

In my degree project, I explore the importance of distance and how our Perception of distance is affected by our experiences.During my investigatory work I studied the relation between distance and experiences. Among other things I concluded that distance can refer to several different kinds of distances (for example spatial, temporal or social distances) and that experiences are what you?ve learnt of these distances. The importance of distance can be illustrated by highlighting the effects of the distance, i.e. experiences.My degree project resulted in a pair of interactive binoculars which are used for looking at an virtual world of illustrations in 360°; a world of illustrations where distance and the importance of distance is shown..

Our time is characterized by the development of new technologies that facilitate communication between people. The need for Video Mediated Communication (VMC) is increasing because people move to other locations due to migration and global mobility. VMC provides the opportunity for millions of people around the world to ?hang out? and see each other despite the distance in between. The world is "shrinking" because of the Internet and our Perception of distance is changing.VMC is becoming increasingly available, in the form of applications like Skype and MSN for mobile phones and computers, and in addition, it?s practically free.The purpose of this thesis is to render a picture of the way in which people use Skype in the private sphere.

Denna uppsats diskuterar utifrån paradigmbegreppet och Torben Grodals kognitiva filmteori huruvida naturvetenskapligt influerade empiriska metoder - exempelvis ögonrörelsestudier - är tillämpbara inom filmvetenskapen. Uppsatsen reder inledningsvis ut paradigmbegreppet och diskuterar vad användandet av detta begrepp har fått för konsekvenser för humanioras del. Därefter avhandlas hur filmvetenskapen traditionellt har behandlat åskådaren och Torben Grodals teorier diskuteras utifrån deras tvärvetenskapliga potential. Slutligen refererar uppsatsen till ett antal naturvetenskapliga artiklar om ögonrörelsestudier på ett filmmaterial och några konkreta forskninsförslag presenteras..

The purpose of the study was to describe the patients? Perception of and the dental hygienist students? knowledge regarding bad breath (halitosis) in a University educational clinic in Kristianstad. The study is based on a waitingroom survey (n=100), and a studentpoll (n=40).The result of the patientpoll showed that 58 % felt that they rather would not talk about bad breath, and that 44 % found it that embarrassing to talk about.

According to modern theory, PR is seen as something that creates value for majority of products. The art market is a market that is characterized by several actors in different value chains, where transparency is low and art critics, or PR creators, have a certain amount of impact on the view of art, at least had so historically. But how does PR vs. art galleries´ own marketing (art brochure) affect the view and price consideration of art and artists for non-expert art spectators? After performing a large quantitative study, we can conclude that PR has negative to no affect on the view of art and the artist compared to the case when the spectator did not receive any information prior to viewing an art piece.

The aim of this study is to examine the factors that motivate people to seek employment at a start-up company. We have conducted a qualitative study by interviewing ten people at six different start-up companies in Stockholm. Empirical findings show that the interviewed are mainly motivated by the possibility to work with challenging work tasks and the possibility to influence and acquire responsibility. Furthermore, status and other self-fulfilment factors such as building something from scratch that can create value and the possibility for a potential ownership is also contributing to the interviewed motivation to seek employment at a start-up. Factors such as an attractive labour market and a possibility to take a temporary break from the university, have contributed to the overall low risk Perception of working at a start-up company.

DAMP står för Dysfunktion ifråga om Aktivitetskontroll och uppmärksamhet, Motorikkontroll och Perception. Enligt forskarna finns det minst en elev i varje klass som kan ha DAMP. Handikappet innebär funktionsstörning inom många olika områden och av olika hög grad, därför finns det stora skillnader i de symptom som dessa barn uppvisar. Genom kunskap och förståelse för barnets handikapp kan man som lärare underlätta barnets skolgång. Det är skolans ansvar att se till att de barn som uppvisar problem av DAMP-symptom får den hjälp de behöver.

Hunger is a problem in some parts of the world (www, FAO 1, 2012). The lack of food is often a result of insufficient knowledge in soil fertility management (Röing de Nowina, 2012). Ongoing hunger and malnourishment are quite prevalent in Sub-Saharan Africa and are often combined with poverty (www, FAO 1, 2012). Farming is the most common occupation in this area and the farms are often small-scale farms with subsistence crops and a few cattle. The farmers who operate these small-scale farms are economically a weak group.
