The goal of this thesis is to design an attachment between a duct and a pod. A pod is what could be compared to an outboard engine for larger vessels. The pod is placed on the outside of the ship?s hull and can rotate 360 ?. A duct is a large steel ring that can be placed around the propeller on the pod to increasethe propulsion force of the ship in lower velocities.

Background:When the patient is critically ill the family is in a vulnerable position. The nurse's role is to support and help the family to find meaning in the difficult situation and to provide realistic hope. Balancing between the patient's and the family's needs is difficult. Knowledge about how nurses experience difficulties in the interaction with family is required in order to grant good care too critically ill patients and their family-members.Aim:To describe nurses' perceived difficulties in the interaction with family-members of critically ill patients.Method:The study is a qualitative literature-based study based on qualitative research. Results: The analysis resulted in four main themes; difficult disunion, environmental constraints, interpersonal difficulties and communicative difficulties.

Syftet med studien var att studera hur förskolan och förskoleklassen arbetar med överlämning av barninformation. Frågor som ställdes var hur förskollärare i förskolan förbereder och hanterar den information som lämnas vidare till personalen i förskoleklassen och hur förskoleklassens personal uppmärksammar den information som tillägnas dem. Fokus har legat på barn i behov av särskilt stöd. I bakgrunden bearbetades forskningslitteratur. Fem kvalitativa intervjuer genomfördes i både Norrbottens och Värmlands län i syfte att bredda den geografiska aspekten.

Titel: Human being and Christian ? creationtheology of Gustaf Wingren.Analysis of an accentshift from a juridical theological metaphor to a biological theological metaphor.Author: Tove Pilroth.The purpose of the essay is to analyse the meaning and the consequences, in a critical and constructive way, of an accentshift of interpretation and understanding of the gospel, from a juridical theological metaphor to a biological theological metaphor. The purpose is presented in the frame of the creationtheology of Wingren. To be able to make the research and to answer the purpose of the essay, the following questions are essential:The human being is captive and redemption is liberation. If we are serious about that the gospel gives the human being rehabilitation, satisfaction, liberation and a life and a future with God, the essential question is which metaphor, a juridical or a biological, that speaks to the human being in the best way? What is the meaning of an accentshift from a juridical to a biological metaphor? How does the creationtheologhy of Wingren, from a biological metaphor, meets the situation of the existence for the human being, her longing for life, health and meaning? What kind of theological resources are present in the creationtheology of Wingren, in the confrontation with future theological challenges?The essay is stressing the need of pluralism in the interpretation of the gospel.

The interest for children´s clothing has increased in society. More and more children are born and parents are older when they have children. Education has become a natural feature in most people´s life, just as both parents often work today. The households have therefore better economy and thus greater consumption opportunities. Parents are, in greater extent, looking for personal and different clothing with focus on quality and, to some extent, exclusivity rather than just a cheap and functional garment.

This work represents a first attempt to articulate my practice as a composer. Through a phenomenological perspective and with the support of the philosophical concept 'Weak Thought', I approach the idea of music as meaning in itself, beyond language. My exploration of these ideas is developed through three perspectives: partly through analysis of my own work, partly through a brief presentation of the concept of 'Weak Thought', and lastly through a series of subject-specific reflections..

The purpose of this thesis is to form an idea about the qualitative value and meaning of reading fiction in a psychological perspective and over a lifetime. Seven women, 68-79 years old, were interviewed about their reading habits of fiction in their lifetime. The material is presented as life stories. I use an inter-nordic research project called the SKRIN project which looks upon reading habits from an individualistic and psychological perspective. I also refer to an American study which focus on reading development with roles readers take in different ages of life written by J A Appleyard.

Syftet med denna undersökning är samspelet och kommunikationen mellan elever och personal i skolans tidiga årskurser. Vi har använt oss av litteraturstudier och intervjuer i den här undersökningen. Det har visat sig att det finns brister i samspelet och kommunikationen på de skolor vi undersökt. Den största bristen visade sig vara kommunikationen mellan rektorer och lärare. Den litteratur som vi har läst i ämnet har belyst hur viktigt det är med samspelet och kommunikationen för en väl fungerande relation människor emellan.

Detta är en studie genomförd med syfte att ta reda på hur personal i förskolan tänker kring, samt använder tecken som stöd som ett verktyg för att främja barns kommunikation och språkutveckling i den dagliga verksamheten. Studien är kvalitativ och metoden som använts för att samla in material är intervjuer med personal som arbetar i förskola. Resultatet har visat en medvetenhet hos personalen av betydelsen att använda tecken som stöd för att främja barns kommunikation och språkutveckling. Resultatet visar att trotts denna medvetenhet är arbetet begränsat då personalen känner att de inte har tillräckligt med kunskap för att arbeta med tecken som stöd. Slutsatsen av studien visar att personal i förskolan anser att tecken som stöd är ett värdefullt verktyg men att det behövs mer forskning kring dess betydelse för barns kommunikation och språkutveckling för att kunna utveckla detta arbete i förskolans verksamhet. .

Digitization is a concept that has become popular in terms of collections of old heritage-related material such as books, photographs and paper documents. This work is a study of the Swedish composer Allan Pettersson (1911?1980) and his personal archive stored at Section for Manuscripts and Music at Uppsala University Library. My issues are What happens to the archive of the digitized? Will there be a "new" archive of the digitized? What guidelines are Uppsala University Library using for their digitizing and how do they look? What will be the result after digitization? What about copyright and the material? Allan Pettersson's personal papers consist a large collection of sketches of musical notes, newspaper clippings and concert programs.

Det är viktigt för blivande och befintliga butikschefer att skapa arbetsmotivation hos sin personal då medarbetarna är företagets viktigaste resurs. Butikschefer får vara beredda på att personalmängden kan variera och det är därför viktigt att kunna motivera såväl få som många medarbetare till att arbeta. Denna uppsats syftar till att, utifrån butikschefens perspektiv, beskriva hur butikschefen agerar när det gäller att motivera sin personal till att arbeta, i en stor butik med många medarbetare respektive en liten butik med få medarbetare. Detta görs för att kunna klarlägga de likheter och skillnader som finns i butikschefens agerande med medarbetarnas arbetsmotivation beroende på dennes personalmängd. För att få en inblick i verkligheten har vi intervjuat två butikschefer, en i en stor butik respektive en i en liten butik och jämfört deras tillvägagångssätt i att motivera sin personal till att arbeta.

Ett återkommande problem är att IT-verksamheten fungerar som en stat i staten: att IT-verksamheten inte är i enhetlighet med affärsverksamheten som den ska stödja. Det finns forskningsområden där teorier utvecklats för att kunna hantera detta problem och jag har titta på Alignment och IT-management. Istället för att kalla det Alignment har jag valt att kalla detta för länkning: att man ska länka samman IT-verksamhet med affärsverksamhet så att de går i samma riktning. Jag har förstått att det mest grundläggande, när det handlar om länkning, är att via strategier försöka få IT-verksamheten att harmonisera med affärsverksamheten. Men strategier är artefakter och det är IT-personal som utför arbetet som ska stödja affärsverksamheten.

The main focus of the essay is to investigate if bugging can be justified from two ethics perspectives, the teleological and the deontology. I?ve chosen to emanate from two specific values which I believe is especially relevant to the ethical problems of bugging, efficiency in fighting crime and the personal integrity. To be able to illustrate this conflict between different values did I do an analysis of an official report which had the task to explore if Sweden should introduce bugging as a new means of compulsion. The official report's statement was that the police should have modern instrument to fighting crimes efficient, including bugging.My examination of the report showed that they used several arguments derived from both the efficiency in fighting crime perspective and the personal integrity perspective.

The purpose of this study is to examine in what way a strong corporate culture can have an effect on the ways that individuals perceive their own identity based on different social aspects, thereby meaning the influence of personalities in relation to the environment. In this essay I have used the theory of employer branding in an analysis of the corporate culture at Ikea Barkarby, with the purpose to answer the following questions: How does the relation between the employee and the corporate culture appear from an identity perspective, i.e can an individual?s identity be affected by the influence of a strong corporate culture? If the corporate culture has an influence on the individual?s identity, what rhetorical tools are part of this? How can the surrounding corporate cultures possibly influence the employee?s process of becoming a part of the corporate culture? The method of research that was used in this study is a framing analysis and a semistructured interview method. In the discussion of the influence of social environment on identity I have used the rhetorical term doxa. The material that was examined was an advertisement for employment from the Ikea Barkarby website as well as the response from my interviews of some of the employees.The result of the analysis shows that it is possible for an individual to negotiate with himself about his identity in relation to the actual situation and environment, meaning a possible transformation of the individual?s behavior in different social contexts, in this example the corporate culture at work.
