In this Master thesis, microwave connections between circuit boards are constructed. The primary frequency band is the X-band (8-12 GHz). The purpose of the connections is to enable a more simple and cheaper way of mounting the circuit boards inside a container. The connections have been designed and evaluated, using different computer programs. A few prototypes have been built and measured.

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the organizational buying behaviour in the purchase of travels abroad. We have conducted a case study of two companies, one medium sized and one larger. Our empirical studies have shown that the companies? buying process is divided into two types, the process of recruit a new travel supplier and the process of a straight rebuy of a regular travel service. In the recruiting process we found that the evaluation process of the purchase is an ongoing process that contradicts estab-lished theories.

This report describes what wireless local area networks are and the use and configuration of them. These WLAN as they also are called can be used both in new installations and expansion of existing networks. Further on this report reveals security in this area. Security is incredible important in all networks not at least wireless because you don?t have to be in the environment physically to get the information, you only have to be in the coverage area that can be several hundred meters.

Seventy-two working horses (they had been ridden with bit and bridle within the last two weeks) were examined in the oral cavity. Findings and status were noted. The horses were randomly chosen among individuals without clinical symptoms from the mouth and gastrointestinal system. The result showed that 93% of the horses had changes in the mucus membranes, 86% in the form of ulcerations. The P2 region was most commonly affected followed by wounds more caudally in the mouth (P3-M3 region).

The aim of these two studies was to investigate the possible physiological, behavioural and emotional changes that appear after human-horse interactions and also to find an explanation to why they occur. One aspect that is discussed is whether the wellbeing of humans can be coupled to interacting with horses and of how the animals respond to the interaction. The first study was performed on 9 horses and their owners, both parts being subjects to registrations during 4 different interaction treatments. The second study was performed on 6 horses with registrations only being performed on the horses during 2 different treatments. Nine horses underwent 3 different treatments all performed by their owners (H = stroking of the horses forehead, B = brushing and M = stimulation of the withers) in addition to a control round (K). Each treatment lasted for 4 minutes but observations were performed until after 45 minutes from start.

Background Research concerning footing and its contribution to injuries has been conducted primarily in racing Thoroughbreds. Studies in UK and Japan indicate that some specific factors could be responsible for an increase in performance-associated injuries. Researchers in Sweden have performed studies on Standardbred trotters. More research is needed to be done on equestrian sports since requirements on footing are not exactly the same in riding and trotting horses. The lack of scientific evidence on the construction of equestrian surfaces has lead to anecdotal validation of designs.

As an increasingly rationalized forestry and agriculture have human interference in the form of tradition, grazing and use declined. There is a strong link between biodiversity and disturbance of the landscape. In sandy soils many insects and plants require exposed sand to survive while the disorder may contribute to seed dispersal in the woodlands. On behalf of O-Ringen Skåne 2014, a study of the interference from orienteering in sandy soil and the forest during competitions conducted. The aim is to clarify the interference of which orienteering runners contributes, through to inventory presence before and after the competitions in the bottom and field layer in three locations.

Denna uppsats undersöker den etiska vardagen på Svenska Dagbladets och Dagens Nyheters fasta bilagor. Hur arbetar journalisterna med pressmeddelanden och liknande och hur funderar de kring textreklam? Medlemmar av Svenska Journalistförbundet förbinder sig att följa de för branschen upprättade gemensamma spelreglerna för press, radio och tv. Det innebär bland annat att undvika textreklam, sponsring och ?otillbörligt gynnande av enskilt företag?.

About 10 % of the adult women population in Sweden are treated annually for urinary tract infections. The increasing bacterial resistance towards antibiotics is classified by WHO (World Health Organization) and ECDC (European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control) as one of the greatest treats for human health in a global perspective. To find alternatives scientists are studying the possibility to use probiotics to reduce the frequency of recurring urinary tract infections. This literature study examines five randomized double blinded placebo controlled studies where different strains of Lactobacillus have been used as a prophylactic to women suffering from recurrent urinary tract infections and bacterial vaginosis. Overall the studies do not display enough promising results to recommend the use of probiotics as a prophylax or cure..

Studien undersöker i vilken omfattning barn medverkar och kommer till tals i nyhetsprogrammet Rapport i SVT.  Både kvalitativ och kvantitativ innehållsanalys har använts och materialet som studerats är Rapports huvudsändning klockan 19:30 under tre veckor i februari 1993 respektive 2013.Syftet är att få syn på vilka förändringar som har skett under 20 år, kommer barnen till tals oftare än tidigare och vilka ämnen får de uttala sig om? Studien ramas in av teorier som sociala ansvarsteorin, medielogik, representation och de svenska spelreglerna för press radio och tv.  Resultatet visar att barn får större utrymme i nyheterna 2013. Vanligast både 1993 och 2013 är att barn kommer till tals i nyheter som handlar om utbildning, i materialet från 2013 kan man se en ökning av barn som kommer till tals om brott/våld/katastrofer.

Den kraftiga ökningen av bredbandsuppkopplade hem världen över har lett till ett stort användande av s.k. webradio. Miljontals användare lyssnar dagligen på de tiotusentals tillgängliga webradiostationerna. Webradio är ett sätt att via Internet och TCP/IP sända radio. Oftast används de populära MP3-formatet men nya bättre standarder håller på att etableras.

In the year of 2001, China launched their new international marketing strategy Going Global. As an effect of this, the frequency of Chinese establishments in Sweden has increased heavily in the last ten years. One of the larger Chinese establishments in Sweden happened in 2003, by the telecom company Huawei. This essay illustrates the obstacles that a Chinese company faces when setting up their business on the Swedish market. Previous studies have focused on Swedish establishment abroad.

Uppsatsen syftar till att skapa en ökad förståelse i hur dofter påverkar konsumenters köpbeteende med forskningsfrågan: på vilket sätt kan dofter påverka konsumentens köpbeteende och hur kan doftens betydelse appliceras på Kotlers teori? För att kunna besvara våra frågor har Kotlers teori konsumentens köpbeteende använts. Teorin består av fyra olika faktorer: kulturella, sociala, personliga och psykologiska. Som analysverktyg har forskningsartiklar från internationellt erkända undersökningar används som tagit upp doftens inverkan på konsumenternas köpbeteende. TV-reklam, radio och tidningar har visat sig vara väldigt dyra och kanske inte fullt så framgångsrika som man tidigare trott.
