Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV?s) are nowadays greatly appreciated. The advantage over manned airplanes are great since UAV?s can be much smaller and therefore lighter. The goal of this project is to evaluate the performance of an environmentally friendly UAV using only lithium-ion batteries.

Lining techniques such as nap bonding and mist lining were developed in the late 20th century and have gained popularity alongside with the increased use of acrylic emulsions as adhesives. The ability of the adhesive to create a nap bond to the canvases without penetrating the fibers has shown advantages regarding reversibility. In addition, the use of moisture, heat and pressure is reduced, which can be advantageous for more sensitive paintings. These lining techniques have been included in several studies where reversibility, minimal intervention and respect for the individual requirements and problems of each object have been the focus. The adaptability of the methods has been confirmed and to further explore the adaptability, this study consists of three simpler application techniques with the adhesive Lascaux 303 HV on mockups.

This master thesis investigates attitudes toward electronic publishing of fiction among the key participants authors and publishers in Sweden with the overall purpose of analysing the nature of these attitudes and what sort of tensions that exist between the two groups. The major areas of concern were formulated as: what sort of attitudes do authors and publishers display toward electronic publishing of fiction?, how do these attitudes affect the way the two groups relate to electronic publishing and to each other? and how do they perceive the future of this practice?. Everett Rogers diffusion of innovations theory was applied to characterise electronic publishing as an innovation cluster, and to investigate innovation attributes in form of relative advantages and disadvantages, compatibility, complexity, trialability and observability. Data was gathered using quantitative questionnaires, but respondents were also given the opportunity to elaborate freely on some of the questions.

This paper focuses on traditional clothing enterprise IT strategies. The purpose was to investigate the correlation between traditional clothing companies IT strategies and their brand. In a market where the competition is high it has become more important that the company targets a customer segment. To reach their targeted customers the company builds their brand with different corporate strategies. This segmentation is necessary because of the high exposure to competition, and a well-established brand could be a prerequisite for profitability.  In today?s market, IT has a major impact on the clothing business.

General principles of law can be defined as a legal foundation with the function of codifying basic values. They can also be of a character, which makes them useful as supplement and interpretation of law. EU has developed principles of law that can be divided into general and special. Within the Union there are existences of around twenty general ones. A further separation can be made in terms of institutional and individual.

The purpose of this thesis is to evaluate the combination of bibliographic coupling and three hierarchical cluster analytic techniques: average, complete and single linkage. Bibliographic coupling is applied as a measure of similarity between recently published articles and the cluster techniques are used for the partition of a set of articles into subsets of articles with similar research focus. The field of information science is applied as the test arena and the selection of data, i.e., the article population to be partitioned, is based on a number of central journals. Methods of evaluation include both quantitative approaches as well as a qualitative one. For comparing the resulting partitions, adjusted Rand index is utilized and for the establishment of cluster coherence and isolation, measures of average normalized coupling strength is applied.

Syftet med detta arbete är att undersöka vilken uppfattning pedagoger i förskola och skola har om sambandet mellan mat och koncentration. Anser de att mat har en betydelse för barns förmåga att delta i de verksamheter de befinner sig i? För att barn och vuxna skall orka vara delaktiga i sociala sammanhang och kunna vara koncentrerade krävs en näringsriktig kost. Vi har därför sökt att få fram vad som betraktas vara en näringsriktig måltid för barn. Genom enkätundersökning, intervju, observation samt litteraturstudier har vi försökt att få fram svar på dessa frågor.

Sprutbyte har varit ett kontroversiellt ämne för debatt och forskning sedan 1980-talet. Denna studie syftar till att belysa fyra ideella organisationers - Convictus, Svenska Brukarföreningen (SBF), IOGT-NTO och Riksförbundet Narkotikafritt Samhälle (RNS) - arbete i sprutbytesdebatten i Stockholm och på så sätt utvidga förståelsen för både debatten och hur den ideella sektorn möjligen kan vara en del av större social förändring. Vilken inställning organisationerna haft till sprutbyte och hur den inställningen är nära kopplad till organisationernas syn på narkotika i allmänt, hur organisationerna argumenterat för respektive mot sprutbyte och hur argumenten legitimerats samt hur organisationerna ser på sin roll i sprutbytesdebatten är frågor som behandlas i studien. Eftersom organisationerna anses agera utifrån olika verklighetsuppfattningar analyseras organisationernas argument och inställningar utifrån ett socialkonstruktivistiskt perspektiv. Empirin består av fyra intervjuer med organisationsrepresentanter och hemsidematerial.

The main purpose with the essay is to look into NATO and annalise how the organisation haschanged it´s security policy work process today 2015, seen from two different world eventsduring the period 1989-2015, the collapse of the Berlin wall and war in Afghanistan. Purposeand issuses also apply based on two theories Anarchymodel and World society model. In orderto highlight two different ways to see NATO:s security policy work process over time untilthe present day.Issues:? How did the fall of Berlin wall in 1989 change NATO:s security policy work process?? How did the war in Afghanistan in 2001 change NATO:s security policy work process?The essay is a qualitative method literature review describing NATO as an organisation andworld events that had impact on NATO over time.The result show that NATO has shifled it´s borders further fast because ?new? membercountries from the former Soviet Union are party members. NATO has moved closer toRussia, and increased in momentum.

This paper is a study and comparison between the two Wireless LAN (WLAN) standards HiperLAN/2 and IEEE 802.11a. WLANs are used instead or together with ordinary LANs to increase mobility in for example an office. HiperLAN/2 is an European standard developed by ETSI and the IEEEs standard is American. A WLAN-card consists roughly of a Medium Access Control (MAC), Physichal layer (PHY) and an antenna. The antenna is the same for the different standards.

I föreliggande arbete undersöker jag begreppet negativ terapeutis reaktion. Undersökningen tar sin utgångspunkt i Karl Abrahams artikel från 1919, En speciell form av neurotiskt motstånd mot den analytiska metoden, och fortsätter med en granskning av Sigmund Freuds beskrivning av begreppet i Jaget och Detet 1923. Jag följer sedan begreppets utveckling i arbeten av Joan Riviere (1936), Melanie Klein (1957), Herbert Rosenfeld (1971), Ludvig Igra (1988) och Horacio Etchegoyen (1991).Negativ terapeutisk reaktion är en form av motstånd som visar sig i den terapeutiska processen. Den är ett tekniskt begrepp och inget diagnoskriterium. Den tillhör jaget och är att betrakta som en jag-strategi som är omedveten till sin natur. Den är att betrakta som ett uttryck för destruktiva krafter, som ett derivat av dödsdriften.De bakomliggande faktorerna kan vara av skilda slag, men det finns gemensamma överensstämmande områden.

Background: About five percent of the infants being born in Sweden are cared for in a neonatal unit because of their prematurity. Breastfeeding and breast milk is considered to be the best nutrition for infants in general and for premature infants in particular. The premature infant, depending on how premature, may not be able to breastfeed effectively due to their immaturity. Stress, anxiety and fatigue are factors that affect breast milk production in a negative direction and these feelings are common in the neonatal unit.Aim: To illuminate mothers? experiences of breastfeeding the premature infant in the neonatal unit.Method: A literature review of eight studies with a qualitative research approach, published between the year 2000 and 2012 was conducted.

I denna uppsats har vi genomfört en kvantitativ studie bland studenter för att kartlägga deras inköpsprofil. Studenter är intressanta ur den aspekten att deras hushåll kan sägas representera den typ av små- eller ensamhushåll som vi ser en snabb ökning i antal av i Sverige idag samt för att de utgör en av de konsumentgrupper som ofta har begränsade ekonomiska resurser. Syftet var, förutom att identifiera de faktorer som har betydelse för studenterna i vår urvalsgrupps val av butik, även att jämföra vår urvalsgrupp med konsumenter generellt samt att undersöka om det fanns någon skillnad mellan könen. Undersökningen utfördes vid Stockholms Universitet vid tre olika tillfällen och datainsamlingsmetoden som användes var en enkät som studenterna fick fylla i. Vår undersökning visade att närheten till butik, låga priser, vana samt ett brett sortiment/utbud av varor var bland de viktigaste faktorerna för våra respondenter av båda könen, när det gäller att utföra dagligvaruinköp vilket överensstämmer väl med sekundärdata.

The design of buildings is today considered to be crucial for obtaining sustainable development. Research concerning sustainable building is considered to be a Swedish area of strength and development projects as Hammarby Sjöstad and Bo01 are often pointed out as Swedish prime examples of sustainable building. Some still argue though, that that these projects should not be presented as sustainable, due to its incompetence to meet their objectives. This contradiction has attracted my curiosity. By doing this study I hope to gain understanding about the difficulties Bo01 and Hammarby Sjöstad are surrounded with and its significance for sustainable development.

A quantitative and qualitative study of all LIS Master theses applying a gender perspective on children-centred issues previously published at the Swedish School of Library and Information Studies. Two hypotheses were investigated: 1) studies with explicit gender perspective express strongest urgency; 2) study results confirm predeclared assumptions. A content analysis of all theses, and closer thematic analysis of ten, form the main question: Is there a risk that the theses? similarities in terms of urgency and confirmation create predictable conclusions? The theses? motivations behind the choices of research problems are explored in the content analysis. Two categories of motivation can be identified: 1) personal; 2) generally applicable.
