Cannibalism can have major influence on fish population dynamics. A prerequisite for cannibalism is that the cannibal and the Potential victim meet, and besides density effects, the encounter rate between cannibals and their victims is therefore also largely dependent on habitat use and habitat heterogeneity. In this study I quantified and compared the Potential for cannibalism in stream-dwelling European grayling populations in three rivers in Jämtland by means of habitat classifications. I also analyzed population dynamic consequences of varying the Potential for cannibalism in terms of intensity, using a physiological structured population model. Findings based on habitat characteristics were that the Potential for cannibalism is in general not favourable in these types of streams.

Arbetstagarnas motivation har blivit allt viktigare för företagens produktivitet och effektivitet. Många menar att en motiverad personal gör en bättre prestation vilket leder till att företagen får en ökad produktivitet. Syftet med detta arbete var att undersöka hur arbetsuppgiften påverkar de anställdas motivation och prestation, och följande frågeställningar ställdes: Blir arbetsprestationen bättre när arbetets motiverande Potential är högre? Blir den inre arbetsmotivationen högre när arbetets motiverande Potential är högre? Blir arbetsprestationen bättre när den inre arbetsmotivationen är högre? Vilket av fem karaktärsdrag är minst representerad? Vilka skillnader finns mellan de anställdas motiverande Potential?Hackman och Oldhams (1980) teori utgår från vilka karaktärsdrag en arbetsuppgift innehåller.

Denna studie undersöker vilken Potential det Balanserade Styrkortet har att förbättra kommunikationen mellan olika domäner inom sjukvården. Vår utgångspunkt är Kouzes & Micos teori som beskriver sjukvårdsorganisationen som svårstyrd och uppsplittrad i tre domäner: en professionell, en administrativ och en politisk. Det huvudsakliga materialet består av sex kvalitativa samtalsintervjuer. Fyra vid Paramedicinska avdelningen på Ljungby Lasarett och två i ledningen för Landstinget Kronoberg.Vårt resultat pekar på att det Balanserade Styrkortet har en Potential att öka informations- och kunskapsspridningen mellan olika nivåer i sjukhusorganisationen, förbättra helhetssynen samt förbättra dialogen kring vision, strategi och mål. För att Potentialen ska kunna realiseras krävs emellertid ett ihållande engagemang och kunskap om det Balanserade Styrkortet.

Working with health-management has become something most organizations would describe as essential for being legitimate today. The aim of this thesis is to investigate how this subject is handled in an existing company and how this work is percieved by the employees in the organization. Due to the fact that limited research has been conducted on this issue, we see this thesis as a Potential for increasing the understanding of how health management is articulated in practice. Our results show that health management in our studied organization is far reaching in comparison with most organizations, but has room for improvement according to the Integral Theory. The consequence of differences in perceptions between management and employees could result in that health management does not become an integral part of the company and its daily operations to the Potential extent..

The aim of this study is to describe the market for Digital Signage in Sweden and give the reader an increased insight and understanding of the problems that suppliers and buyers of Digital Signage may encounter. The study is abductive and based on a number of qualitative interviews with representatives from Potential buyers, an existing user, a supplier and a number of companies with insight into Digital Signage.

Furthermore the study shows that it is important that a supplier has a fundamental understanding of the business model of the buyer. In addition to this, service, support and IT-related issues are of great importance for the Potential buyers.

This study focuses on the motives that recruiters can or may have within companies, organizations and authorities of using Facebook as a complement in the investigation of Potential work-candidates. The study also explores the consequences that could occur regarding the boundaries of private and public spheres when recruiters are researching Facebook-pages of Potential work-candidates.The results were collected by qualitative interviews with eight different recruiters from a wide range of businesses in Kalmar.By applying a framework of already identified uses and gratifications, we discovered six different motives of why recuriters would use Facebook as a complement while recruiting work-candidates. The motives are; security, guidance and advice, convenience utility, surveillance, curiosity and economic motives. We also discovered that the following consequences of researching Facebook-pages of Potential workcandidates are that candidates are restricted in the possibilities of acting private on their Facebook-pages and that candidates have zero control of their published materials since recruiters sets the limits of what can be thought of as private and as public..

Uppsatsen placerar det historiedidaktiska begreppet historiemedvetande i det sociologiska studiet av aktörskap och undersöker om förändring och kontinuitet i ett urval av historieläroböcker beskrivs på ett sätt som har Potential till att utveckla elevers historiemedvetande. Historiemedvetandets funktion är att orientera en i det praktiska livet och definieras i uppsatsen som en underförmåga till egenmakten, som definieras som uppfattningen om ens handlingsutrymme.Det är en kvalitativ textanalys som utförs med en hermeneutisk tolkande ansats. Genom en operationalisering av en läroprocess i vilken historiemedvetandet utvecklas analyseras ett urval av läroböcker. I den undersökta läroprocessen förstås historiemedvetande som basen för förståelse av kontinuitet, förlopp och händelser, samt av hur förändring sker. Tre dimensioner vägleder analysen: Historieskapa(n)de människor, Genealogiskt och genetiskt perspektiv samt Öppenhet.

To introduce a standardized component assortment takes a lot of effort in order to make real cost savings. The rationalization effect itself is important, but perhaps even more important is to state the aim of the standardization efforts in a well-defined way. How can an organization assure that they are working in a proper way? How do they know that their efforts are being interpreted into the whole organization? And, how do they know that the standardization efforts actually save money? Different components differ heavily e.g. in technical complexity and quality issues.

The purpose of this thesis is to discuss education as a state tool in Sweden during the 17th and 18th century. The idea is to contrast the pragmatics of the Swedish education system with the theories of Rousseau and Comenius. The thesis is marked by the thought that theory and application diverse because of the subversive infusion in the ideas of the theoretic.The results shows that it is ultimately a question of public education and its Potential. The state recognises the Potential of public education but also its dangers and therefore becomes very active in forming not only the education system as a hole but also its pedagogic.

The value of a company's employees is considered to be higher and more important for a business success than ever. Losing employees is not only a loss of valuable knowledge, it also implies a significant cost related to the recruitment of new employees. To attract Potential personnel, it is important for the companies to understand how to communicate with talents. Choosing a communication medium for a job advertisement is not easy when new options constantly arise. Despite the development of new communication mediums and channels, such as social mediums, the traditional communication medias still remain available.

Musik är en naturlig del i förskoleklassen, det sjungs på morgonsamlingar, avslutningar och under arbete med matematik och/eller språklig medvetenhet. Men i denna uppsats undersöks i vad mån förskollärarna i förskoleklass inkluderar musik som ett didaktiskt verktyg för att främja elevernas lärande, samt på vilket sätt de talar om musikens Potential. Utifrån detta har två frågeställningar utvecklats, vilka är: ?Hur använder lärarna musik i förskoleklass för att främja lärandet? samt ?På vilket sätt talar de för studien utvalda förskollärarna om musikens Potential? För att kunna besvara dessa frågor används en hermeneutisk ansats med kvalitativa intervjuer. Fem förskollärare i varierande åldrar, kön och år som verksamma förskollärare i förskoleklass har intervjuats.

In Eskilstuna and Sweden in general the level of reuse of surplus material containing soils and rocks from excavation is low. In this report the Potential for increasing the reuse of excavated material in Eskilstuna by using a web-based earth information database has been examined. The purpose of a web-based earth information database is to connect those who have surplus material with those who need material for a fast and simple transaction. The intention is to give Eskilstuna a more environmentally and economically efficient handling of surplus material by increasing the level of reuse and thereby reducing the amount of surplus material that is wasted and emissions given off to the atmosphere during transportation. The Potential has been examined in two different ways, by tracing information about a number of projects to see if excavated material driven to the dump could have been used in another project and by interviewing eight of the work leaders active in Eskilstuna.
