En stor andel människor i Sverige har en stillasittande fritid, ett stillasittande arbete eller är fysiskt inaktiva. Folkhälsoinstitutet (2010) rekommenderar minst en halvtimmes fysisk aktivitet per dag. Denna rekommendation kan vara enklare att nå upp till när människor hittar en träningsform som är rolig och motiverande. Gruppträningspass med instruktör har visat sig fungera motiverande (Olsson & Stalsky, 2010). Därför syftar denna studie till att undersöka hur instruktörer upplever att motionärerna blir motiverade av deras metoder till att motivera dem.

In the year of 2006 I moved to South Africa for a year, a land that has fascinated me because of its history. During the time of my stay I became very surprised how strongly apartheid permeates the community where the white South Africans today are building walls around themselves. Through media we get surrounded with pictures that media creates and to find information regarding what?s happening in the world this is, most often, the primary source. Therefore I believe it?s interesting to explore how two different local newspapers from the county of Kalmar, with two different ideologies, present pictures of the same event, namely the revolt of Soweto in 1976 and how these two newspapers relates to racial policies.

This essay explores the intertextual qualities in and between Kristian Lundberg?s works Yarden, Mörkret skulle vara som ljuset and Och allt skall vara kärlek. Read as a trilogy, it bears a thematic resemblance to Dante Alighieri?s Divine Comedy; an autofictional depiction of emancipation from alienation by grace. To reach this conclusion, I use Julia Kristeva?s theory of intertextuality and Roland Barthes? post-structuralist differention of Work and Text together with his notion of the Paper-Author.

Syftet med denna rapport är tvådelat. För det första görs ett försök att på ett djupare plan studera stödet för användandet av problembaserat lärande som metod inom den gymnasiala historieundervisningen. Det föreligger en stor likhet mellan den problembaserade arbetsmodellen och den metod som historiker i allmänhet använder sig av. Det går också att finna stöd för metoden ur ett samhällsperspektiv. Den snabbt växande, och skiftande kunskapsmassan kräver ett problematiserande, och kritiskt förhållningssätt.

Encephalitozoon cuniculi är en obligat intracellulär parasit som orsakar sjukdomen encephalitozoonos hos kaniner. Infektion kan även ses hos människor och parasiten är därmed zoonotisk. E.cuniculi-infektion sker via intag eller inhalation av sporer, överföring in utero eller okulär överföring. Predilektionsställen för parasiten är centrala nervsystemet, njurar eller linsen. E.cuniculi är en vanlig parasit hos kaniner men den exakta förekomsten i Sverige är okänd. Att diagnostisera E.cuniculi-infektion hos kaniner är viktigt för korrekt prognos och behandling samt på grund av parasitens zoonotiska potential.

This study compare if there is any differences between Fairtrade certified and uncertified coffee producers in Aceh Tengah, Indonesia. The aim was to compare the way the two groups of farmers produces their coffee and see if there were any differences between them, income, post harvest, production etc. During a visit in the district of Aceh Tengah, producers from both groups were given a questionnaire with questions about their farm and their production.

This study also indicated that introduction and presence of Fairtrade and the connection to the world market Fairtrade brings with it, has gained the entire area, for example with more stabile coffee prices..

Utökade e-postsystem är en populär typ av grupprogram som ger användarna fler möjligheter än att bara hantera e-post, utökade e-postsystem ger bl a användarna möjligheten att föra kalender, schemalägga möten och delegera uppgifter. Denna undersökning utgår ifrån kända icke-tekniska utmaningar med att nå användaracceptans av grupprogram, genom en fallstudie i en statlig organisation studeras vilken inverkan dessa utmaningar har på utökade e-postsystem. Syftet med denna uppsats är att den ska ge insikter åt organisationer som har infört utökade e-postsystem men som har svårigheter med att nå användaracceptans av den funktionalitet som sådana system tillhandahåller. Viktiga slutsatser som har kunnat dras är att de studerade icke-tekniska utmaningarna med att nå användaracceptans i högsta grad har en inverkan på acceptansen av många av de funktioner som utökade e-postsystem tillhandahåller. Speciellt verkar tekniska begräsningar i systemet göra att många av dessa utmaningar blir kända..

The goal for this thesis work was to develop Business Intelligence (BI) for an IT consultant company.LexiConsult is an IT consultant company in the Lexicon-group which offers expertise within Office (templates, database, spreadsheets, Outlook etc.) but also SharePoint development and services like support, documentation etcetera.We have investigated the functionality in SharePoint and MS SQL Server and have also evaluated which possibilities these platforms offer in terms of creating a BI-solution for LexiConsults needs. SharePoint offers a variety of different tools and services for BI but none of these where available in the Office365-version which LexiConsult uses. Another solution was therefore suggested where the reports should be published on a web hosting company.We have also studied critical success factors when implementing BI in an IT consulting company.The result is a set of BI-reports developed for SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS), which the staff of LexiConsult can access via their SharePoint site.The reports are designed for monitoring and analysis of the economy with e.g. key performance indicators, drill-down of the revenue in different aspects such as by time period, per employee, per customer etcetera. The reports provides vital knowledge that can be used for decision support, e.g.
