This thesis examines if commercial-of-the-shelf (COTS) systems meet the needs in different types of organizations. This was investigated through a case study of a COTS system. The system is built for contact centers and used in different types of organizations. Contextual inquiries with users from six different organizations were held together with interviews with stakeholders of the system. This gave an understanding for how the system is used and the needs to be met in the different organizations were recognized.

As part of an internship at Ericsson, this report was written to enhance the understanding of how it is to develop a system that is well established at the workplace. To improve an already existing system is not always as easy as many developers may think. In this report the pros and cons of developing an already existing system has been researched and analyzed. Do note that the results are only from one development of a specific system and that comparison of other developments has been made from other reports and not from experiencing it firsthand. It was found that the choices made can have an impact on further developing and it is important to write down what has been done.

Den mentala ohälsan är globalt sett en stor del av sjukdomsbördan, och så även i Sverige. På grund av de reformationer som psykiatrin i Sverige genomgått under 1900-talet vårdas idag ett rekordlågt antal patienter inom den slutna psykiatrin. Förr i tiden vårdades de psykiatriska patienterna både somatiskt och psykiskt inom den slutna psykiatriska vården. Så är inte fallet längre, utan de somatiska åkommor som denna patientgrupp drabbas av vårdas nu i den allmänna somatiska vården. Ett flertal studier visar att patienter med psykiska störningar erhåller sämre somatisk vård än psykiskt friska patienter samt ofta upplever diskriminering från sjukvårdspersonal.

This project concentrates on musicians who work in a professional music studio.The task of this project was to design a new headphone system called Foldback system.The advantage of this system is that all involved in a music project could influence their ownlistening during the project. With a couple of adjustments should each and everyone get theirown individual listening from their headphone station.This report shows different methods, theories and results that came along in development ofFoldback system. The project has resulted in a finished product that will be in use atStudiomega..

Contortatall (Pinus contorta ssp. latifolia) började planteras storskaligt i Sverige runt år 1970 men det dröjde till 1987 förrän Sverige lagstiftade begränsningar för hur den fick användas i skogsbruket. Detta gjordes bland annat på grund av att det saknades information om dess spridningsförmåga. Contortans spridningsförmåga i Sverige är fortfarande okänd och lagstiftningen är densamma. För att kunna beräkna spridningsförmågan och i förlängningen den potentiella etableringsframgången behövs kännedom om contortans fröproduktion i Sverige.

In order to reduce the price for, and improve the performance of automatic control systems for magnetization of synchronus generators, the possibilities of using a PC based software PLC system, Programmable Logic Controller, has been investigated. The result is a system based on the CoDeSys software PLC with runtime environment from 3S-Software, communicating with external units via Modbus fieldbus. System price is reduced from ?5000 to ?2000 and system processing speed is reduced from 10 ms for a Siemens S7 PLC to 4 ms with the CoDeSys PLC system though unsolved problems with runtime seizure caused by improper settings in the PC BIOS..

I dagens samhälle har ungdomar allvarliga hälso- och sociala problemrelaterade till sexuellt överförbara sjukdomar, vilket är en av anledningarna till varför undervisningen inom sex och samlevnad behövs. Elever får sin primära kunskap inom sex och samlevnad från skolan, men de uppger att de inte har någon användning för dessa kunskaper. Syftet är att undersöka elevers intresse inom sex och samlevnad i högstadiet, för att få en uppfattning om vad elever önskar för kunskaper inom området.Undersökningen genomfördes med två olika enkäter som 223 elever i högstadiet besvarade. Den första enkäten bestod av både öppna och slutna frågor och den andra enkäten bestod enbart av slutna frågor. Killarna i undersökningen ville inte läsa om "sexuella läggningar" eller ansåg att det borde tas upp i skolans undervisning.

Palliativ vård och vård i livets slutskede har på senare år uppmärksammats allt mer. I Sverige dör ca 90 000 människor per år och av dem dör ca 85 procent på institutioner. Vård av svårt sjuka och döende förekommer inom all hälso- och sjukvård. Palliativ vård - lindrande vård- påbörjas då kurativ vård - botande vård - inte längre är möjlig. Det övergripande målet med palliativ vård är att uppnå bästa möjliga livskvalitet för patienten och dennes familj.

In this thesis a transport system is sought after thatif realised in the city of Uppsala could provide bothwell-being to all its inhabitants and sustainability,here jointly refered to as liveability. It is found thatthe car dominated transport system that is inoperation today provides two fundamental values,namely accessibility in both time and space, whichsets it apart from other transport solutions. Thesetwo values are of immense importance for theliveability in our modern world. On the other handthe car dominated system decreases the liveabilityof Uppsala in several different ways. Some of theseproblems, it is argued, could be solved within thecar system, through the adoption of moreenvironmentally friendly cars etc., but otherproblems are inherent in the car system and willremain no matter what changes are made.

Because of increasing demand of power on Malmbanan the capacity of the existing wires which supply the trains must be increased. This increases the stress on the existing poles and for this reason the system for supplying the loads along the railway is to be removed from the poles and be replaced by some other system. This thesis is a study on a two-level low voltage (1 kV and 0.4 kV) electrical system with the aim to investigate if it can be an alternative to the system used today taking into account the voltages, fault currents and costs.In this thesis the following tasks have been performed:? Gathering of data? Description of basic theory? Loadow and fault current calculations of the system with MATLAB? Life Cycle Cost estimate of the system? Analysis and conclusions from the resultsThe results show that the new system can be an alternative to replace today's system. The simulations and calculations show that the voltage drop is at an acceptable level and that the fault currents are large enough to supply a safe disconnection if a fault occurs at the far end of the system..

The management of information is a significant competitiveness in companies. Companies stored and save information every day, and it is very common to save de information in different sources. This makes de management of information complex. To mange, monitor and analyze the information, companies can use a system called Business Intelligence. BI system is an analytical system that extracts and converts data into useful information that helps employees to make informed decisions.

This paper discuss the possibilities to improve the Swedish political nomination system. It brings up some of the values and norms that can be used to change the existing system. Values as openness, the demand of responsibility and also if there is values from the American spoils system that can be used in the Swedish system. A minor purpose is to discuss the part of the parliament within the nomination process. To investigate this I have some theoretical starting points and a self constructed analysis tool.

Human-computer interaction is central for computer assisted development. The aim was to investigate the user experience of a new (U2) compared to an old (U1) computer system, within a cognitive psychology frame of reference. Six subjects, frequently using the system, participated in the study. It was shown that the new (U2) compared to the old system (U1) enhanced and supported more the users? system related procedures/tasks.

An automatic control system for calibration of pressure indicators has been constructed. This control system can be used as a complement to the calibration system located at AerotechTelub, division MainPartner, in Linköping. The calibration system used today contains some not wanted pressure changes, which is compensated by hand today. The new system presented in this report automates the calibrating process and simplifies the calibration. Suitable hardware as motor, controls card and so on have been found and software in the form of Visual Basic program has been developed.
