Denna magisteruppsats bekräftar Mark Duffields teori om att liberala länder från västvärlden använder humanitärt bistånd som ett biopolitiskt verktyg. Detta gör de i syfte att kapsla in och kontrollera överflödsbefolkningar i den underutvecklade världen så att de inte kan utgöra ett hot mot den egna säkerheten. Uppsatsen är en teoribekräftande fallstudie som med analysdiskurs som metod undersöker Sidas egna strategirapporter på tio afrikanska länder, vilka är mottagare av det svenska biståndet. Studiens teoretiska ramverk bygger på nio begreppsdefinitioner, vilka även ligger till grund för Duffields egen forskning på det studerade fenomenet. Tillsammans med diskursanalysen bildar detta teoretiska ramverk ett kraftfullt analysinstrument som har fungerat väl i analysen av Sidas strategirapporter, vilka utgör studiens empiriska urval.

In the report we have investigated four high-rise buildings with the intentions to find out witch parts are prefabricated and what relation can be found between structural design, prefabrication and the logistics. After the investigation we noticed that the grad of prefabrication in each one of the projects is good in relation to what purpose the building have and the given background. During the report we found that layout ? structural design ? prefabrication ? logistics is an order that we think can make the production of the building more effective if followed. We believe that the prefabrication of high-rise buildings have potential to grow and get more optimized in the future..

The IT industry is constantly evolving and requires everyone working with website development to be updated on the latest methods. The web grows larger every day, and more visits are carried out by mobile devices. It is more important than ever for companies to have updated and functional pages that can be used on different platforms. We want to find out how common it is for IT departments and web agencies to embrace the newest technology and also what it takes to get them to move from one technology to another. Responsive web design is a constantly growing new technique that helps web developers developing for different platforms.

Trots att organisationer satsar alltmer på utbildningsinsatser, står det inom forskningen fortfarande oklart vad som leder till faktisk förändring i det fortsatta arbetet. I denna studie undersökte vi utifrån Baldwin och Fords transfermodell vilka individ-, design- och miljöfaktorer som förklarade en grupp  Försvarsmaktsanställdas upplevda kunskapsinhämtning och transfer efter genomförd utbildningsinsats. Detta skedde med Self-Determination Theory (SDT) som teoretiskt ramverk genom en enkätundersökning. För kunskap var autonom motivation (AM), kontrollerad motivation (KM), upplevelse av autonomifrämjande implementering samt behovsstöd från chef förklarande faktorer. För transfer var autonom motivation, upplevelse av autonomifrämjande implementering samt kunskap förklarande faktorer.

The purpose of this study was to examine how the design of the wards, at Björnkulla nursing home, affects the residents? wayfinding ability and autonomy. Thus, the aim has been to make a design proposal that, trough color and design can increase the residents? chance to independent mobility. Since the study aimed to examine how the environment affect and can support people with dementia, qualitative methods were used.

Ett informationssystem syftar till att förse ett företag med information för att förbättra dess kompetens och effektivitet. Acceptansen av informationssystemet, och den effekt det får i företaget, är beroende av hur väl systemet motsvarar kundens krav. Trots denna vetskap är den främsta kritik som riktas mot informationssystem idag att de inte motsvarar intressenternas krav och således inte används i avsedd omfattning.Den viktigaste informationskällan, som systemutvecklarna har vid undersökning av problemdomänen och kraven på det tänkta systemet är intressenterna. För att resultatet av systemutvecklingsprojektet skall bli så bra som möjligt kräver det att intressenterna är engagerade och involverade i processen att samla in information. Risken är annars att den insamlade kunskapen är ofullständig och inkonsistent.

The project aims to explore how strong brands are built and what they consist of. I will focus on the subject fashion magazine, ambassadors and the different parts that a magazine consists of. Based on the information from research and literature I?m re-designing the Swedish fashion magazine Solo..

This report deals with the design of a controller for SmartMedia? flash memory cards, based on a hardware description found in the SmartMedia? Interface Library - SMIL. The design was made on logic gate level, using standard cells in OrCAD Capture. After simulation of the design in PSpice A/D, it was exported as an EDIF netlist, which was used to make a chip layout in L-Edit, a layout tool for making integrated circuits. The layout was made using a method called Standard Place and Route - SPR, where the layout tool places standard cells from a library and connects them according to the EDIF netlist.

?Boverket? the Design Regulations in Sweden, also called BKR has for a long timebeen the mandatory standard that has guided and regulated construction design. Butat the end of 2010 BKR was replaced with Eurocode. This report deals with thecomparison of these two standards when it comes to wood construction. Duringwinter 2009/2010 there were many roof collapses due to excessive loads on theroofs across Sweden.

This paper presents the creation of a strengthening visual profile for StretchFlex UF. The project consists of an external as well as an internal part. The external part is on the order of the company StretchFlex. The company is created under the education concept by the name of Ung Företagsverksamhet (Young Entrepreneurship) and has passed on to the Swedish Championships in Young Entrepreneurship at the Stockholm International Fairs. Of that we have been commissioned to develop an updated logotype for the company, for the current does not keep proper quality according to the client.

This thesis is the result of the class Examensarbete, 15 credits of the mechanical engineering program at Halmstad University.

It´s a project made during the spring 2014 in collaboration with Alutrade AB and ScanBox Thermo Products AB.The assignment is to develop a new transportation trolley for ScanBox. The aim is to complement their range with a product that opens up to new markets. That set new demands for materials and also manufacturing- and assembly methods.

Vårt syfte med denna uppsats är att ta fram ett teoretiskt ramverk som skapar förståelse för vilka faktorer som är relevanta vid beslut rörande ett företags strategiska profil. Detta har vi gjort genom att undersöka ett antal strategiteorier och tagit med dem som vi anser vara relevanta vid den typen av analys som vi ämnar studera. De flesta av teorierna är tämligen vedertagna strategiska teorier medan andra härrör ur beslutvetenskapliga kretsar. Eftersom det finns variabler både i den interna och i den externa omgivningen som påverkar ett företags strategiska profil redogör vi för områdena var för sig. Vidare har vi använt oss av företaget Expert som referensföretag för att ge exempel på hur det kan fungera i verkligheten.

The company GEMS PET Systems produces cyclotrons which is a type of particle accelerator. The cyclotrons create log files that are analyzed by the company?s employees for different purposes like troubleshooting or installation. The purpose of the project is to with a usage-centered design method create a paper prototype of a tool that will help the employees to analyze the log files in a more efficient way than earlier.The result shows how the usage-centered design method was used to create the paper prototype and how the user interface was created according to human-computer interaction (HCI)..
