Kollektivtrafikanalys av Frihamnen Göteborg. En studie av olika utbyggnadsscenarier och dess transportbehov vid en färdig utbyggnad av Frihamnen år 2040

The use of Power Line Communication, PLC, as a communication solution for Automated Meter Reading, AMR, is popular by utilities in Sweden and other parts of the world due to demands of accurate and fast meter reading. However the use of the electrical grid as a communication medium is complex and sometimes problematic. This report handles some of the issues and problems that are important to understand when using the grid as a communications medium. Focus is mainly on investigating high frequency distortion in the Kristianstad power grid own by C4energi caused by a frequency converter. Measurements on site are done to investigate signal damping in the grid, different configurations for the frequency converter and signal strength of the PLC-system.

The purpose of this essay is to examine and compare the news covering of Swedens three biggest cities (the metropolitan areas) and their surrounding areas with the covering of the rest of the country (the provincial areas) in two daily national newspapers, Aftonbladet and Dagens Nyheter. The aim has been to answer the following questions:- What amount of the news coverage in Aftonbladet and Dagens Nyheter concern the metropolitan areas compared to the provincial areas, and how do these two newspapers differ in the news covering of these areas?- Is there a difference in the news articles size and content, depending on weather they concern the metropolitan or the provincial areas?- How has the balance between news concerning metropolitan and provincial areas changed over the recent 20 years?The theories used in this study are News values, the media commercialization and Popular Journalism, and The Agenda Setting Theory. The method that has been used is a Quantitative Content Analysis.Despite the essays hypothesis, that the news coverage in the two newspapers would be dominated by material from the metropolitan areas, the result showed that a majority of the examined articles concern the provincial areas.

Prognos för offentlig sektor: Molnigt, med chans för IT som en tjänst

The public sector in Sweden outsources its core business to a very large extent, whileinsisting on running its IT operations internally in a traditional way. IT as a service ingeneral and cloud computing in particular has become incredibly popular in recentyears, offering cost efficiency and greater ability for the business to concentrate on itscore activities, which is why it should be a promising alternative to the traditional wayof running IT internally. To achieve an understanding of why IT as a service has yetto take off in the public sector, a study of its use of IT/IS, what the effect of IT as aservice is, and the opportunities and challenges that cloud computing represents, isnecessary.The study, which was conducted using a qualitative hermeneutic approach, was initiatedby a literature review, followed by six in-depth interviews with five respondents,all of which hold many years of experience in the area. The outcome of the interviewsindicated that IT as a service should represent a promising and feasible way of reachinghigher levels of cost control, and a greater focus on core activities. Furthermore,the results indicated that Swedish legislation along with a high level of businesscomplexitymight be reasons for the low amount of IT as a service in the public sector.Through careful analysis and examination of the business? current situation, as well ascomprehensive knowledge of Swedish legislation with regards to the implications ofLagen om offentlig upphandling, the public sector can avoid IT as a service becomingmore expensive and more complicated than necessary, and achieve cost efficiencyalong with a greater focus on its core activities through it.Future research could examine the possibility of a framework for the integration ofcloud services within the public sector?s IT/IS environment, and whether there is aspecific size of a cloud implementation at which it?s more cost efficient to go withtraditional IT operations..

Man äter inte direkt tacos på vikingatiden! : en undersökning av elevers historiemedvetande

Bakgrund:I Läroplan för grundskolan, förskoleklassen och fritidshemmet 2011 lyfts begreppet historiemedvetande fram ännu tydligare än vad det gjordes i Lpo 94. I Lgr 11 står det fastslaget att eleverna ska ges möjlighet att utveckla kunskaper om historiska sammanhang och sitt historiemedvetande, eftersom ett historiskt perspektiv ger individen ett redskap att förstå och förändra samtiden. Forskning visar att elever uppvisar ett bristande historiemedvetande, vilket kan bero på många olika orsaker. Till exempel kan det bero på historieundervisningens upplägg eller elevernas förmåga att hantera stora tal. Mot bakgrund av detta vill vi med vår studie undersöka elevers historiemedvetande för att se hur resultatet från vår studie förhåller sig till tidigare forskning inom ämnet.Syfte:Syftet är att undersöka elevers historiemedvetande.Metod:Den metod som har använts i vår studie är fokusgruppsintervjuer med intervjuguide och checklista.Resultat:Genom vår undersökning och analys av insamlad data konstaterade vi att eleverna uppvisade ett relativt bra historiemedvetande jämfört med resultat från tidigare forskning.

Hur miljövänlig är dagens optikerbutik, och hur miljövänlig kan den bli?

SUMMARYEnvironmental issues are currently a hot topic of debate. Studies within the optics branch have not specifically been conducted previously, so the aim of this study was to determine the extent of environmental-awareness specifically within this branch.A survey, consisting of questions relating to environmental issues, was distributed to 100 randomly-selected opticians in Sweden. Of these 100 surveys, 64 were returned and showed a varied branch-engagement for environmental issues.Results of this survey showed that opticians were best in sorting newspapers, magazines, other paper and hazardous waste. Metal and rigid plastic were not sorted to any larger extent.Choosing environmentally-safe products was not so popular and only six stores always do this. 25 shops turn off electrical machines and equipment over night; while the majority of the remaining stores leave the machines on during the night.27 stores did not know if their electrical company provided ?green electricity?.Results showed that there is a lot of work to be done in making the stores more environmentally friendly.

Aktiv- och Indexförvaltning : - Kan svenska investerare få högre riskjusterad avkastning genom aktiv förvaltning?

Nearly 74 percent of the Swedish population invests in funds and the options are therefore various. The Swedish private investors can choose between active and passively managed funds. Fund managers, who seek to generate higher returns than the market, manage active managed funds. Unlike the active managed funds, passively managed funds do not require any active investment decisions.Fama?s (1970) efficient market theory reflects all available information in the stock price, therefore it is not possible to predict how the stock price changes.

Utformning av förskolans inomhusmiljö utifrån ett genuspersketiv.

The purpose of this thesis was to examine the ways in which the constructions of heterosexuality and gender in three Disney movies about princesses affect the power relations between men and women in the movies, and how discourses on gender and heterosexuality have changed over time. Research questions were:How do characters in the movies talk about gender and heterosexuality?How does the interplay between gender and heterosexuality affect the power relations between men and women in the movies?What are the likenesses and differences between movies from different time periods?Discourses were mapped out using a model based on Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe?s political theories. These discourses were then analyzed with a theoretical framework consisting of Yvonne Hirdman?s concept of gender system and gender contracts, Judith Butler?s view on the heterosexual matrix and an understanding of power relations based on Michel Foucault.

Att befolka en barnlitterär värld : To populate a world in children's fiction

Syftet med vår studie är att ge en bild av hur högstadielärare anger att de arbetar mot kränkande behandling mellan elever i skolan och belysa om likabehandlingsplanen har någon betydelse i detta arbete. Undersökningen baserades dels på kvantitativ metod med enkäter och dels på kvalitativ metod med intervjuer. En enkät delades ut till 80 lärare på två högstadieskolor varav 69 av dessa svarade. Alla lärare uppgav att de fått ingripa i situationer med kränkande behandling. I enkäterna kom det fram att merparten av alla lärare kände att deras arbete mot kränkande behandling har en positiv effekt för det psykosociala klimatet.
