Arbetet gick ut på att skapa designförslag på informationsstöd för infanterisoldater. För att åstadkomma detta samlades data in genom observation och intervjuer på militärövningsområdet Kvarn i Östergötland. Utifrån det insamlade materialet framställdes en kravlista som i sin tur låg till grund till designprocessen.Tre designförslag framställdes varav ett var på en handleds- eller vapenmonterad display, till största del riktad åt gruppchefer, och de övriga två förslagen huvudmonterade, dessa tänkta att kunna användas av alla soldater i fält. Fokus låg på att på ett så enkelt sätt som möjligt ge tillräcklig information om omgivningen och övriga gruppmedlemmars position för att öka soldatens situationsmedvetenhet och minska belastningen på arbetsminnet..

The Barbie doll is an icon filled with meanings; this thesis discusses the Barbie doll and herfeministic potentials and subject positions using a discourse analysis. The thesis analyzeswhat sort of femininity Barbie portraits in magazines, web series and films about her.Theories being used originate mainly from gender and queer studies, where the focus is on theperformative constructions of gender and femininity. Since the material mostly consists ofmoving images some influence is taken from feminist film theorists and semiotic theory,which focuses on signs and their meaning. The thesis centres around the questions: how isBarbie?s femininity challenged, strengthened and constructed in different types of mediaabout her produced by Mattel? And is there any feminist potential in Barbie?s subjectpositions in these media forms?.

I studiens primära del försöker vi närma oss supermakten och klassificeringen av den samma i termer av resurser och ´role theory´. På en lägre abstraktionsgrad är vi intresserade av fallet Kina och att utreda i vilken mån supermaktsbegreppet kan appliceras på staten. I en andra del argumenterar vi för ett unilateralt agerande utifrån Kinas givna position i det internationella systemet.Detta gör vi genom att exemplifiera deras politiska strategi i biståndspolitiken gentemot Afrika.Genom främst ´role theory förmår vi attribuera Kina supermaktsstatus och i vår neorealistiska ansats kan vi sedan se hur de smyger fram i det internationella systemet utan direkta konfrontationer i sin strävan efter ett multipolärt system..

Starting at the end of the Cold War, this publication assesses the impact of the upheavals in Eastern Europe and the atrophic Soviet Union on the Swedish doctrine of neutrality with its 200 year old tradition. Since the end of world war two the proximity of the Soviet Union had constituted the major impetus for upholding a position of neutrality and as this vanished a pressure for change was created. This essay works with a theoretical framework delineated by Kjell Goldmann and under this disposition, the Swedish tradition of neutrality, governmental positions, opposition and four major influential newspapers are studied. The standings of each variable are canvassed in an attempt to explain the development of Swedish security policy during the crucial years of 1988-1992..

Denna fallstudie tar upp enskilda kvinnors upplevelser i samband med mediala diskurser och identitet utifrån deras position som tidigare utsatta för direkt patriarkalt våld. Vissa diskursiva begrepp diskuteras, exempelvis ?offer?. Centralt för respondenterna är att inte identifiera sig med dessa termer. Våldserfarenheterna har påverkat samtliga respondenter och det präglar hur de förhåller sig till diskursiva termer.

Syftet med detta examensarbete är att undersöka möjligheten att skapa ett övervakningssystem där man tillämpar en passande teknologi på ett kreativt sätt. Applikationen som valdes är övervakning av dementa på ett ålderdomshem. Två tänkbara teknologier för utvecklingen av systemet, RFID och Bluetooth, studeras och analyseras. Efter en utvärdering väljs Bluetooth och används för att konstruera ett prototypsystem. Ett antal systemexperiment med kommunikationen mellan systemkomponenterna utförs och en analys genomförs för att bedöma teknologins effektivitet och användbarhet. Resultaten av systemexperimenten visar att det är möjligt att använda Bluetooth-teknologin för övervakning av människor inom ett visst bestämt område, till exempel ett ålderdomshem. Man kan detektera patienternas position och visa den för personalen på en datorskärm i en ritning över lokalerna. Detta arbete ska ses som en grund för en framtida utveckling och konstruktion av ett operationellt system..

The objective of this entire essay, founded on nineteen interviews of poetry readers at thepublic library in Borås, is to ascertain why people do read poetry. But in addition to examinewhat sort of people who enjoy poetry, as well as what they appear to get out of their exercise.I have also put together the position of the poetry reader as a customer of the library.The summary of contents is primarily based on direct quotations of the interviews, and doesnot reflect any generally applicable facts about poetry readers. I am only trying to focus on thethoughts and sentiments on poetry experienced by a few randomly selected individuals. DanAndersson, Karin Boye, Nils Ferlin and Gustaf Fröding were stated as favourites by many.The only thing in common subsequently found by those interviewed was a great affection forliterature and a diligent usage of the library..

Bråk och konflikter är något som förekommer dagligen mellan barn i förskolan. Handlingar som hindrar samspelet innebär för oss att man gör något som får negativa konsekvenser för det sociala samspelet och/eller negativa konsekvenser för någon annan. Det kan bland annat handla om samspelssvårigheter, kränkningar, fysiskt och psykiskt våld. Vårt syfte med studien har varit att undersöka hur barn handlar mot varandra i sociala samspel. Vårt fokus har varit handlingar som hindrar och får negativa konsekvenser för samspelet mellan barn, i vilka situationer dessa handlingar förekommer och om det finns någon koppling mellan utförandet av handlingarna och positionen/statusen barnet har i gruppen.
