This thesis is a part of the DySCAS (Dynamically Self-Configuring Automotive System)project which has the overall purpose of creating a middleware for the electronics in an automotive environment. The thesis has been made with collaboration with ENEA AB who is a member of the DySCAS project. ENEA AB has developed a demonstration platform to test the fundamental ideas which the DySCAS project is built on.The purpose of this thesis was to design and implement a GPS application to be added to the demonstration platform. This was done by adding a GPS receiver to the original DySCAS demonstration platform and designing and implementing an application to be able to extract the information from it. The resulting application is able to present cur- rent Position and absolute time to the DySCAS networks as services to be used by other applications or by the network it self.

The colour choice of spiders and the effects of competition on this phenomenon were examined in the laboratory using the sit-and-wait predator goldenrod crab spider (Misumena vatia, (Thomisidae)). This species can  be both white and yellow (could also change colour)  and it was here examined whether individuals preferred to sit on flowers which has the same colouration as their bodies. I found that M.vatia showed preference for flowers that matched their own body colour, but when competition was introduced this preference disappear. It seems, however, that Position is a factor that can influences the substrate decisions of M. vatia, where the edge of the flower is preferred..

Many companies choose to Position themselves in New York. The city is one of the main cities when it comes to advertising. The competition is strong and for new companies, it is hard to survive on the market.In our thesis we have investigated how Swedish people, who open new advertising agencies in New York, should market themselves to be successful on the market in New York.To gain as much information as possible about this subject, we traveled to New York and interviewed three advertising agencies, who were started by Swedes, and also the Consulate General of Sweden, and Swedish Trade Council.Our investigation resulted in that the best way to be successful on the American market is to differentiate your work from what the market has to offer. By doing this potential customers may find your work interesting and thereby chose to work with your company..

The purpose of this masters´ thesis is to examine the attitudes of public librarians towards easy-to-read literature and see whether a connection between these attitudes and accessibility can be made. The study has been performed with a qualitative approach and consists of four depth interviews with emphasis on how librarians relate to and experience easy-to-read literature and its´ users. As complement to the depth interviews, two micro interviews were made. The study can be seen as a follow up to a survey I made 2005, commissioned by The centre for Easy- to-Read. As analytical tools the cultural sociological theories of Pierre Bourdieu, with his concepts field, cultural capital and habitus, have been used.

SyfteSyftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur idrottslärare upplever möjligheterna att förverkliga friluftsundervisning mot bakgrund av dess Position i ämnet idrott och hälsa i den nya läroplanen Lgr 11. Med följade frågeställningar till hjälp:- Hur ser idrottslärarna på uppbyggnaden av nya kursplanen för idrott och hälsa?- Hur ser idrottslärarna på friluftslivets Position i nya kursplanen för idrott och hälsa, Lgr 11 i jämförelse med Lpo 94?- Hur ser idrottslärarna på möjligheten att förverkliga friluftsundervisning i relation till den nya kursplanen, Lgr 11?- Arbetar hela skolan tillsammans för att eleverna ska uppnå målen inom friluftsliv? MetodStudien är gjord med en kvalitativ forskningsansats för att få en ökad förståelse inom det valde området. Studie innehåller intervjumaterial från fem utvalda idrottslärare som jobbar på skolor runt om i storstockholmsområdet. Detta val är delvis strategiska då jag fick kontakt med idrottslärarna genom mina studiekamrater.

Syfte och frågeställningarI den nya läroplanen Lgr 11 har friluftslivet fått en ökad betydelse eftersom att friluftsliv blivit tilldelad en egen rubrik och för att utomhusmiljön betonas allt mer.Syftet med denna studie var därför att ta reda på hur fem utvalda idrott och hälsalärare  nu upplever möjligheter eller begränsningar med att realisera friluftslivsundervisningen. Dessa frågeställningar tog jag till hjälp: Hur ser lärarna på den gamla och nya kursplanen gällande friluftsliv? Hur bedriver lärarna undervisning enligt den nya kursplanen gällande friluftsliv? Finns det några avgörande möjligheter eller begränsningar som påverkar den nya friluftsundervisningen?MetodLärare inom idrott och hälsa kontaktades och kvalitativa intervjuer genomfördes med respektive lärare för att få en mer djupgående inblick kring hur de tänker runt den nya friluftsundervisningen och friluftslivets nya Position. Lärarna valdes av bekvämlighetsskäl då jag fick kontakt med majoriteten av dem via studiekamrater.ResultatResultaten visar att den nya läroplanen, Lgr 11 är mycket mer tydlig när det gäller friluftsliv, där framförallt progressionen framhävs som en förbättring.Faktorer som tid, ekonomi, skolans läge, elevers och lärares inställning och samarbete på skolan krävs för att det ska underlätta skolans friluftsundervisning, vilket är samma faktorer som tidigare forskning anger. Nya faktorer som framkommer är att elevers och andra lärares inställning till att vara ute måste förbättras eftersom att den nya kursplanen betonar utomhusmiljön i större utsträckning.SlutsatsSlusatsen som kan dras är att det är svårt realisera friluftslivsundervisningen i den nya läroplanen, Lgr 11 i nuläget.

In this essay I want to investigate how the Viking aristocratic warrior elite in Scandinavia used religious mythology for the construction of their identity. The essay also takes up the concept of honor, which was important for the warriors. Honor was central to all people during Viking age and for the warriors it was absolute. In the religious myths, the aristocratic warriors justify their Position in society and legitimate their acts of war. Religion continues to have importance to the warrior elite even after the arrival of Christianity.

I och med ett ökat intresse för entreprenörskap samt den allt svårare situationen på arbetsmarknaden för invandrare väcktes under 1990-talet ett stort intresse i Sverige för invandrarföretagande. Företag som drivs av personer med utländsk härkomst har blivit en allt vanligare del av marknaden. Denna grupp av företagare har kommit att bidra med nya affärsidéer samt ny kompetens på marknaden.Det framkommer i flera utredningar och rapporter att många invandrare finner det svårt att få fäste på den svenska marknaden på grund av bland annat språkliga brister och begränsade kunskaper inom det regelverk som styr företagandet i Sverige. Vår studie fokuserar på att undersöka invandrarföretagares Position på den svenska marknaden. Syftet har även varit att ta reda på drivkrafterna bakom valet att starta eget samt vilka tillväxtstrategier invandrarföretagen använder sig av.

I denna uppsats undersöks diskursartikulationer kring narkotikamissbruk för att ta reda på hur de konstrueras i medietexter, vilka som får komma till tal samt vilka roller dessa artikulationer tar och deras förhållande till varandra. Teorin som använts är Faircloughs kritiska diskursanalys och som komplement till den har Laclau & Mouffes kritiska diskursteori använts. I studien synliggörs tre olika artikulationstrender beroende på vilken ideologisk utgångspunkt skribenten kunde antas ha baserat på sin Position. Dessa Positioner diskuteras sedan med hänsyn till drogernas historiskt kulturella kontext..

The purpose of this essay was to find out if it is possible to:? Detect different groups of gender among children in grave materiel and church art and if that was the case, in what way??

The retail banking market in Sweden is highly concentrated and oligopolistic. This has been confirmed by numerous reports from different competition authorities within the EU, for example the Swedish competition authority. A considerably high number of different sorts of competition barriers has been pointed out in these reports. The competition barriers are mainly directed to the smaller banks and the potential competition. The retail banking market in Sweden is dominated by four major banks, which together has over 80 percent of all market shares.
