The use of vision applications are growing and the demand for integration and connectivity with other industrial automation control devices is increasing. Some businesses that are using vision technology follow US Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) regulation concerning audit trail. This thesis investigates the possibility to use vision technology for counting objects, achieving connectivity and to follow FDAs audit trail regulation. A market survey has been used to select suitable hardware and software to be used in the design of an application that is able to count objects and that uses standard industrial network connection i.e. OPC data access and Microsoft?s .NET components over Ethernet.

Purpose;the purpose of this study is to investigate whether a product ad observer's purchase intention, perception of product quality, brand image perception and price perception is affected depending on the size of the text that was used in the ad to communicate the product price.Methodology;the study was conducted using a quantitative method through a survey. The implementation of the study has been done by using three variants of the same suit ad where the three different variants have been manipulated on the text size on the price information, by reduced / increased the text size. The implementation has also been carried out using two different ad sender, with three ads for each sender.Result and conclusion;the text size on the price of a product ad mainly affects the observer's price and quality perception, where the small text will have a positive effect on quality perception and a negative effect on the quality perception. Even brand image changes depending on the text size where small text will have a positive effect..

The domesticated rabbit stems from the European Wild rabbit and researchers have found that they share most of the characteristics and behaviors of their wild ancestor. They form mating groups in which strong hierarchic orders are formed and they are known for their ability to dig warrens which serve as one of the most important resources for this species. Although research has been performed to increase the welfare of rabbits kept in laboratory settings little is known about the housing, behavior and welfare of the pet rabbit. Among the research that has been performed within the area results have shown that the animals are kept in small solitary cages and that although many rabbits are purchased mainly for the children many animals cannot be handled by children due to display of aggression. Another conclusion drawn is that the animals are kept in ways that differs greatly from their natural environment.

The problem of finding targeted medicine is a central problem in chemotherapy. From this point of view the ubiquitin-proteasome system is a highly promising object in the pharmaceutical approach. Proteasome plays a critical role in cellular protein degradation, cell cycle and apoptosis regulation.Proteasome inhibitors are substances blocking the actions of proteasome. Cancer cells are more sensitive to inhibition of the ubiquitin-proteasome system than normal cells. Therefore proteasome inhibitors have the potential to be successfully used in the cancer treatment.The study aimed to test various substances to identify possible proteasome inhibitors with the IncuCyteTM FLR image system and fluorometric microculture cytotoxicity assay.

Every year, thousands tons of edible food are discarded by the grocery stores. This is food that could have gone to people that?s in need of it.

Revision är ett yrke som präglats av sin trista image och revisionsbyråerna har haft svårt att attrahera nyutexaminerade studenter. Denna bild gäller inte längre då många studenter utbildar sig till revisorer och redovisningsinriktningen är ett populärt val. Syftet med denna uppsats är att ta reda på vad ekonomistudenter anser om yrket revision samt hur de stora revisionsbyråerna kommunicerar med studenterna. Detta har vi tagit reda på med en enkätundersökning gjord bland studenter på ekonomlinjen, Stockholms Universitet, samt med intervjuer av respondenter från revisionsbyråer och Svenska Revisionsakademin. Flera faktorer har i kombination med varandra påverkat yrkets image.

Syftet med denna studie är att utifrån intervjupersonernas perspektiv undersöka vilken betydelse sociala och ekonomiska utbyten har för en organisations möjlighet att attrahera redan anställd personal. Detta eftersom mycket tidigare forskning kring ämnet är av kvantitativ art och inriktad på att attrahera potentiella rekryter snarare än redan anställd personal. Denna studie jämför även likheter och skillnader mellan chefer och personal. För att undersöka hur en organisation kan attrahera redan anställd personal tas avstamp i hur tidigare forskning redogör för hur fenomenet employer brand image används. Den teoretiska utgångspunkten för studien är att individer i sociala interaktioner gör utbyten där något ges och fås.

Many grocery stores have products marked whit there private brands. The information about these brands is poor. We wanted to find out what the stores own brands stand for and what the manager of purchase thinks it stands for. We choose to concentrate on meat and cured meat and limit our study to ICA, Axfood and Coop because they are the three main actors in the Swedish branch of grocery. The supplier has traditionally manufactured products and made there own brands. These products have been distributed and sold to the consumer thru stores.

Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur väl IKEA Uppsalas identitet stämmer överens med företagets image i tre led:Skillnaden mellan hur varumärket uppfattas mellan ledningen ochanställdaSkillnaden mellan hur varumärket uppfattas mellan anställda ochkunderSkillnaden mellan hur varumärket uppfattas mellan ledning och kunderEtt varumärke skapas genom interaktionen mellan dessa tre grupper. Hur starkt varumärke företaget lyckas skapa beror på om grupperna har samma uppfattning av varumärket och hur väl relationerna mellan dem fungerar.För att uppfylla syftet har dels en intervju genomförts för att ta reda på ledningens uppfattning av varumärket och dels två enkätundersökningar, för att ta reda på kunders respektive de anställdas uppfattning av varumärket. Resultatet av den empiriska undersökningen visade att alla tre grupperna har en liknande uppfattning om vad varumärket IKEA står för, vilket tyder på att IKEA har ett starkt varumärke. Förbättringar kan dock göras i varumärkeskommunikationen för att öka medvetenheten av varumärkets värderingar och förbättra relationerna mellan de tre grupperna..
