This Bachelor thesis examines the possibility of replacing an outdated, analog video recording system to a digital counterpart. It is key that the video and audio signals remain synchronized, generator locked and time stamped. It is up to nine different video sources and a number of audio sources to be recorded and treated in such a manner which enables synchronized playback. The  different video sources do not always follow a universal standard, and differ from format as well as resolution. This thesis aims to compare a number of state of the art commercial of the shelf solutions with proprietary hardware.

Sara Lidman?s second novel Hjortronlandet (1955) unfolds in the north of Sweden in the early 20th century. It describes the progress of modernity and the conflicting interests of an old local culture and a new more ?civilised? one. The two cultures are constituted by different value systems and in the novel they are represented by two neighbour communities.

Abstract In the contemporary world of information technology you find a multitude of applications and systems covering a broad spectrum of areas of need in different companies. One effect of this multitude of programs is the difficulty to make them exchange information with each other or to collaborate, since they are developed by different programming languages for different platforms, with different standards and different data formats. Our aim with this work is to describe how it is possible to tie these programs together to make them actually communicate with each other in order to exchange information, share their native methods and also to become a part of the overall business processes. In this integration task you will, among other things, find different levels of application integration such as data level, method level, application interface level and user interface level integration. Application integration also involves hardware components, called middleware, that facilitate the physical connection between applications. There is a range of different middleware products offered today on the market.

This study was performed in collaboration with Moelven Skog AB, Örebro district. The purpose of the study was to review existing literature in order to describe the current status of harvester based measurement technology as the way to provide information for calculating payment to the forest owners. In addition to this, a short survey was conducted to find out how a switch to harvester based measurement would affect the administrative workload on timber purchasers working for the district. The literature study shows that the harvester measurement technology is ready to use if it is combined with well-established routines for control of the harvesters, methods for automatic quality indexing of the timber and ways of creating pricelists specially adapted for harvester measurement. Pricing each stem seems to be the most promising method. Stem pricing has several benefits.

INTRODUKTION: Kommunikation har en viktig roll inom hälso- och sjukvården, inte minst i multiprofessionella team där flera yrkesgrupper bedriver ett nära samarbete. I högriskmiljöer som hybrid- och operationssalar är det extra viktigt med en väl fungerande kommunikation och ett gott samarbete för att nå patientsäkra resultat. Det finns många faktorer som kan påverka kommunikation till såväl det bättre som det sämre.SYFTE: Att beskriva hur säker kommunikation utformas i operationsteam.METOD: En litteraturöversikt har valts för att besvara syftet. Litteraturöversikten består av tio vetenskapliga artiklar.RESULTAT: I granskningen av artiklarnas framkom tre huvudteman; kommunikation, patientsäkerhet och team. Under dessa tre huvudteman ryms sedan tio underteman; utbytet, utbildning, teamkommunikation, personal, arbetsmiljö, checklistor, samarbetet, teamegenskaper, teamfördelning och brister..

Tiden vi lever i är fylld av teknik och snabb utveckling. Vi kommer dagligen i kontakt med teknik utan att lägga vidare fundering kring att den faktiskt ens finns där. Vi tar den för given, troligen eftersom det blivit en så naturlig del för oss att interagera med den. Hur kommer då tekniken och människan samverka i framtiden, och hur gestaltas detta i en populärkulturell text så som TV-serien Futurama? Vi är intresserade av hur människan kan tänkas använda sig av teknik i framtiden och hur synen på tekniken ser ut.

The underlying aim of this paper is to find out how the management and employees in a grocery store on a relatively small community in Sweden is experiencing Technology-Based Self-Service (TBSS), and self-scanning. And how store management and employees experience that the self-scanning ability is received by their respective consumers. Several open individual interviews were conducted with the administrative head of sales and various employees working at different departments at Coop Forum in Skara In offering self-scanning, we believe that the store provides consumers with an opportunity to perform their daily purchases by an easy and flexible approach, which we believe will have a positive impact on the entire store visit. A positive store visit, we believe play a major role in consumers choosing to do their shopping in the store.The issue to be elucidated in this paper is; How do management and employees in a grocery store perceive that self-scanning influence consumers' purchase and the service the shop offers? Why would a supermarket use self-scanning as part of the service they offer to their consumers? The report concludes the similarities and differences experienced by administrative sales manager and employees compared to previous research on the subject.

The purpose of my essay is to study the current debate on public library as a meeting place in the Swedish daily press. I have examined how the meeting function is used and how it is perceived and what it might mean to the public library. Through a selection process, I chose 18 relevant newspaper articles from the year 2006 to 2012. By implementing a content analysis, three themes were distinguished; ?the meeting place as a place to reside on?, ?the meeting place as an inclusion? and ?the meeting place as a culture and activity house? I have used Andersson, Scot-Hansen and Rabers theoretical models of the library's roles for my analysis.

As the environmental requirements on businesses increase from various stakeholders, the incentives for businesses to work more with environmental issues also increase. Historically, the requirements were focusing on companies with direct emissions from operations. Lately, the environmental impacts that occur indirectly as results of corporate activities have become more topical. Companies and organizations that mainly offer services often have a greater indirect than direct environmental impact. This is because they are affecting third parties, which in turn have a direct environmental impact.

This report describes the construction and development of a control box, which is a tool for testing and verifying a certain model of Rapid?s built in staplers (model A6102). Basically the function of the control box is to interpret any errors that may occur in the stapler and to make it possible to test fire the stapler.The control box should be able to communicate with the stapler using a specialized communication protocol. The different data such as errors, firmware etc. from the stapler is presented in plain language on a display.

Att undersöka huruvida det är möjligt att underlätta framställningen av ett elektroniskt handelssystem som använder sig av en existerande relationsdatabas är intressant av flera anledningar. Med Internets utveckling har möjligheterna till elektronisk handel ökat. Många företag har idag redan existerande databaser till sin verksamhet. Ändringar eller driftstopp i dessa databaser medför stora problem för företagen.Denna rapport beskriver en prototyp som underlättar användandet av en existerande databas och som underlättar skapandet av de komponenter som ingår i ett enkelt elektroniskt handelssystem. För att skapa prototypen har en hybrid mellan en templatbaserad och en hårdkodad lösning använts.

This paper investigates the possibilities to construct automatized portfolios based on optimizations strategies that could outperform comparable indexes. The study is based on time-series of Swedish stocks dating from 1986 to 2006. In the research four different portfolio optimization techniques were studied. These were: the Classical Markowitz Approach, Mean-Absolute-Deviation, Minimum-Regret and Conditional Value-at-Risk of which the three latter are based on generated scenarios. The behaviour of these models was studied for different choices of parameters such as backward time-horizon and targeted average return.

In year 2000 the Swedish Public Service television started a new series of programmes named Mediemagasinet. The purpose was to expose the work of journalism through the eyes of a journalist. The programme showed different types of tasks and problems that have to do with journalistic reporting. The form of Mediemagasinet wasn?t anything new but the content was presented as the very first of its kind.
