Inspection errors are nowadays usually written with pen and paper during building inspections. A company in Stockholm is developing a method by which inspections are made digitally from the beginning and where the inspection attachments shall be stored in a database. The idea of this method is that entrepreneurs can use the database to get an experience feedback from previous surveys so that they can improve their production processes. One problem that occurs is how inspection errors will be sorted into the database. They have to be sorted so that contractors or clients can use and sort out the information in a sensible way when they want to evaluate and make improvements in their production processes.This thesis examines how the inspection errors can be sorted in a structured manner.

Management of large carnivores involves more than just the management of animals, people also have a large influence. The Swedish parliament decided in 2009 that the county boards should use co-management to a greater extent in management. This shows how important human dimensions are.We know from previous research that the majority of people in Västerbotten are positive toward large carnivores and the management done by the state, however there is a negative minority which should not be neglected. This paper contributes with an examination of attitudes toward large carnivores, wolf, bear, lynx and wolverine, in Västerbotten County. The data for this study were derived from a survey that was sent out to 150 randomly selected persons in every commune in following counties: Norrbotten, Västerbotten, Jämtland, Västernorrland, Dalarna, Gävleborg and Stockholm.

The aim of this paper is to examine, by means of a quantitative method, whether using a Swedish athlete endorser in a sports advertisement will increase its effectiveness. We examine which characteristics an athlete endorser needs to be able to make people form a positive attitude towards the athlete endorser and thereby make him or her successful in advertising. We also look into whether an interest in sports can affect the advertisement effectiveness when using a Swedish athlete endorser. The results show that a well-liked Swedish athlete endorser generates highest ad effectiveness and that the most important characteristics that contribute to form a positive attitude towards an athlete endorser are trustworthy, physical attractiveness, success in sports and ?successful in respondent?s mind?.

Titel: Kommunicera rätt! ? En studie om kommunikation mellan systemutvecklare med kundkontakt och kund. Författare: Peter Johansson Oskar Hanson Handledare: Johanna Törnquist Examinator: Guohua Bai Problemområde: Anledningen till detta examensarbete är att problem som kan uppstå vid systemutvecklingsprojekt vanligtvis har sin grund i kommunikationen mellan systemutvecklare med kundkontakt och dess kunder. Exempelvis hör en systemutvecklingsgrupp och ett bageri till två vitt skilda yrkesområden och därmed pratar de ?olika språk?, vidare kan det skapas semantiskt brus i kommunikationskanalen som i slutändan kan leda till en felaktig kravspecifikation och de verkliga förändringsbehoven förblir oupptäckta.

The European Union's work on equal opportunities for women and men can be described historically in three eras; equal treatment, positive action and, most recently, the gender perspective. In accordance with the latter, gender mainstreaming is the latest method in dealing with these issues. Its aim is the implementation of the gender perspective in all policy processes and to challenge the male norm that permeates all decision making. EU:s work on equal opportunities, though, persists not only of gender mainstreaming but has a double approach also including special actions.This thesis bases its argumentation on discourse analysis of communications from the Commission regarding employment and social affairs. It argues that the two components of the double approach; gender mainstreaming and special actions, are incompatible and even becomes contra productive put together.

I denna studie undersöktes effekten av förstärkt hörselåterkoppling (enhanced auditoryfeedback, EAF) på observerbar stamning och upplevd känsla av talflyt hos vuxna personer som stammar. Så vitt vi vet finns inga tidigare studier av effekten av förstärkt hörselåterkoppling vid stamning. Mycket forskning finns dock på andra typer av hörselåterkoppling, som exempelvis frekvensförändrad hörselåterkoppling (frequencyaltered feedback, FAF), där man sett positiv effekt på talflytet hos personer som stammar. Deltagargruppen bestod av 14 personer i åldrarna 20-43 år, som stammade. Deltagarna fick läsa högt under olika förhållanden av hörselåterkoppling, de olika förhållandena som testades var förstärkt hörselåterkoppling och FAF mot normal hörselåterkoppling.

This study has been performed at a smaller high school and with its industry students, the high school is located in a small industrial community. The purpose of my study has been to find out what students think about their work with the project work, what they think has been positive and negative, how their motivation is influenced by the work on the project and if the work has been affected by factors outside the school world.The interviews have been carried out like normal conversation with open questions. The students who participated in the study comes from the school where I did my internship. The selection was done by asking all students from a specific course, those who were positive to participate are also the ones I have chosen to interview. My main study results, in summary, described as the students, once they were inside their work were positive to the project work and felt motivated in their work. Negative experiences, for the students which attend a practical program, has mainly been economic, as the school does not provide any financial support.

Nyare klassrumsforskning visar att arbetet i klassrummet idag mer sällan leds av läraren i helklassundervisning, utan istället organiseras som bänkarbete, gruppsamtal och grupparbeten. Samtidigt är det preciserat i Lpf94 att elever själva ska ta ansvar för sitt lärande och resultat i förhållande till kurskriterier. Min undran utifrån detta var hur eleverna förvaltar dessa lärandesituationer och hur ansvarstagandet kan se ut i kommunikation elever emellan. Syftet med uppsatsen är att försöka förstå vilka möjligheter och begränsningar för lärande som skapas, genom att beskriva och analysera elevers kommunikation i en lärandesituation. Kommunikationen som undersökts är tre autentiska gruppsamtal mellan elever arbetande med en rapport i religionskunskap.

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka vilka pedagogiska strategier lärare arbetar med när det kommer till elever med ADHD. Studien grundar sig i en kvalitativ metod i form av intervjuer, där sju högstadielärare intervjuades. Alla intervjuer spelades in, för att sedan transkriberas och analyseras. Tydliga mönster i studien visade på att lärare anpassade sin undervisning i den mån de ansåg vara nödvändig. Beroende på lärare och ämne, såg detta olika ut.

Previous research does not show a clear picture of the perception of personalized advertising as studies give different results - there are both positive and negative aspects. The purpose of this study is to improve the knowledge and understanding of the impact of personalized advertising in the new Internet era. The aim is to answer whether personalized advertising has more positive than negative effects on Facebook or if marketers today should rethink regarding this issue. An experiment with three advertisements was defined where one ad was with no personal targeted content and the other two included personally targeted content. These ads were analysed with the theories word of mouth, information overload and psychological ownership to see if interesting results could be found regarding ad attitude, click intention and purchase intention as well as to investigate if the attitude to Facebook could have an impact on the results.

This is a product development project which has developed a prototype in order to facilitate for people using mobility devices when they want to buy a larger quantity of groceries. The prototype is a shopping cart composed with the upper part of a walker.Today there are many different types of mobility devices used by elderly and people with physical impairment. According to Myndigheten för samhällsskydd och beredskap (MSB) are accidental falls the most common cause of accidents in Sweden.This project has been using Computer Aided Design (CAD) as a tool to create a visual image of the prototype. The advantage of this is to modify the functionality and performance of the prototype on the computer before the modification takes place in the real model. Using human manikins, the CAD model was rendered in natural surroundings to get as true a picture as possible.

The study aims to show how the publicity surrounding the Sweden Democrats have been during November in 2012 when polls for the party rose. The method that has been used is quantitative content analysis and a total of 215 articles from tabloids Expressen and Aftonbladet are encoded. The period of the encoded material has been in November 2012 and the variables have been designed to answer how much publicity Sweden Democrats have received during that period, any topic that the articles touched on, the actors that have been cited, if players have received criticism or praise, how the party looked like and if certain words were used in the articles.The theories of the study are based on agenda setting, priming, ?The spiral of silence? and democratic role of the media. They concern, among other things, how media sets the agenda for what people think is important and how after being exposed to something, subconsciously creates a feedback about the phenomenon.The results show that the Sweden Democrats have received much negative publicity at a time when their poll numbers increase, which goes against the established truth that says that positive publicity is beneficial to the parties while the negative publicity is adverse..

Syftet med denna studie var att utvärdera arbetsmotivation på företaget Norstedts Juridik och att ge underlag för förbättringsarbete. Utvärderingen gjordes med hjälp av en modell för arbetsmotivation, som konstruerades med grund i teori och tidigare forskning. Modellen innefattade åtta dimensioner som tillsammans antogs utgöra arbetsmotivation. Dessa dimensioner var variation, autonomi, signifikans, feedback, utvecklingsmöjligheter, tillhörighet och lojalitet, lön och belöningssystem samt work- life balance. Dimensionerna analyserades i förhållande till de tre bakgrundsvariablerna kön, anställningstid och arbetsenhet och resultaten behandlades i statistikprogrammet SPSS.
