The aim of this thesis is to examine whether law reforms in the detailed planning process can be an aspect that gets in conflict with the citizens rights to participate in the Swedish planning through dialogue, and how five chosen municipalities are working with citizen participation. To be able to answer the aim of the thesis a literature study and five semi-structured interviews was performed in purpose to get wide-ranging information from municipal officials working with detailed planning handling. Law changes that aims to make the detailed planning process more efficient has been implemented partly to satisfy the needs of dwellings since the detailed planning process among master builders seems to be slow and inefficient, which to the them means higher costs. The requirement on having a detailed planning program was taken away when the new planning law was adopted year 2011. The planning program was including a moment of citizen dialogue. The case studied municipalities have not been affected in this law change arguing that it?s still possible to bring a program if needed.

Abstract This essay is about girls that have chosen a gender atypical education on a gymnasia level. Since we are living in a society that is still today gender segregated in both working life as well as educational area, we find it interesting that it still exist an paradox which leads us to the question ?why? those girls and boys, woman and man choose so differently. We are not aiming towards study how many girls that have chosen a gender atypical education but rather how these girls that are on the construction program in one of Stockholm?s gymnasium have deliberated and what it is that has influenced them.

This report is a study in voltagelevel in connection with regeneration of brake energy from the tramtype M31 in Gothenburg.In the act of braking, the tram M31 uses electrical braking where the electrical motors generates energy and if possible send it back to the overheadline, where other trams in the nearby can use this regenerated energy for its own driving force. In cases where no other energyconsumers are located in the same section, there is a resistance witch task is to convert this energy into heat. The regulation of this resistance appears to cause an increase in the voltagelevel into far too high levels.Investigations of the trams regulationequipment and its construction have been done. Further have measurements on the overheadline been performed in order to map the voltagevariations during a longer period of time.The result have been showing that the voltagelevel during regeneration often is as high as 880V-920V, more extreme values have not been observed in a large scale. The values are especially high compared to the nominal voltagelevel.

The purpose of this study was to investigate how media has followed the Parken Zoo incident and analyse how media convey the issue about the Parken Zoo incident. The different results have been compared. To answer the purpose of the study three issues has been formulated:  how do the different media relate to the ideal of objectivity? Who come across and get to speak in the different media? What differences and similarities are in the media?   The theories that have been used in this study are mainly McCombs theory of agenda setting, StrömbÀck?s theory of framing and theory of media logic, Kovach & Rosenstiel theories of journalism and Manning?s theory of objectivity. The methods that have been used are a combination of a quantitative content analysis and a qualitative semiotic analysis.

This work is an experimental study where knock sensor placements are investigated using engine tests. The aim is to studythe quality of the signal from knock sensors and how the signal for engine control is affected at different sensor locations on Scanias, engine DC13. To find out at witch position on the engine youcan get a usable signal for engine control, the engine is running while the knock sensors with advanced measurement equipment is connected to the engine. Evaluation of signals from the knock sensors are made in the computer program Matlab. The program is producing a seriesof plots, from these plots it is visually possible to draw conclusions and find connections.

AndrasprÄksundervisning Àr en vital del av mÄnga elevers skolgÄng. I Thailand har detta aktualiserats, i och med att en ekonomisk gemenskap med engelska som huvudsprÄk Àr pÄ vÀg att skapas av lÀnder i regionen. Engelskkunskaperna Àr generellt bristfÀlliga i landet och den thailÀndska regeringen har dÀrför utarbetat ett ÄtgÀrdsprogram, the English Speaking Year 2012 Program. Programmet antas leda till förÀndringar i skolorna som pÄ sikt ska göra invÄnarna betydligt bÀttre pÄ engelska. Syftet med examensarbetet var att undersöka engelskundervisningen vid en thailÀndsk grundskola som jobbar utifrÄn the English Speaking Year 2012 Program. Det avsÄgs att identifiera om ÄtgÀrdsprogrammet lett till förÀndringar i undervisningen och Àven ÄskÄdliggöra eventuella förÀndringar.

Abstract The purpose of this project is to develop a modular processor card which is intended to work as a platform for Kitron Development Karlskoga. The modular processor card is meant to be used as a control system in development projects, mainly in medical and industrial products. The processor card will consist of a central unit with the basic functions for a control system. Furthermore there will be complete modules with machine commodity and programming, to pick exactly the necessary functions for a specific application. With consideration to the specification of the development and the main unit, I chose an adequate microprocessor (AT90CAN32) as core and interface circuits to stated border areas. The construction is first completed in the program MultiSim and then remade in the program OrCAD Capture. The programming language C was used in the software model.

SamhĂ€llets rĂ„dande styrningsmentalitet innebĂ€r att medborgarna ska styra sig sjĂ€lva genom sjĂ€lvförstĂ„else, sjĂ€lvkontroll och sjĂ€lvomsorg (Öhman, 2007). Skolan har alltid brottats med ordningsproblem, men disciplineringsverktygen har skiljt sig Ă„t genom tiderna (Granath, 2008). Även dagens skola brottas med ordningsproblem (sr.se) och dessutom med en allt mer utbredd psykisk ohĂ€lsa hos eleverna (bo.se). För att fĂ„ bukt med dessa problem introducerads under 1980-talet i USA olika typer av program som skulle trĂ€na emotionell och social kompetens (Wennberg, 2000). Denna typ av program kom till Sveriges skolor i mitten pĂ„ 1990-talet bl.a.

Syftet med min undersökning Àr att ta reda pÄ om före detta elever som tog examen 2005 pÄ Industriprogrammet arbetar kvar i branschen och om de valde rÀtt gymnasieutbildning för sitt fortsatta yrkesliv. Metoden som jag valt att anvÀnda i mitt forskningsarbete Àr att intervjua en klass bestÄende av 17 elever. Jag har stÀllt frÄgor betrÀffande deras gymnasieval, om de arbetar de kvar i den bransch som de utbildade sig till eller sysslar de med nÄgot annat och vad de tyckte om utbildningen. De resultat som jag har kommit fram till pekar pÄ att eleverna sökt sig till programmet av olika anledningar. För vissa elever sÄ rÀckte inte poÀngen till att komma in pÄ de program som de önskade, men de flesta tycker att de valde rÀtt utbildning. En anledning till valet var att det leder direkt till arbete efter gymnasiet..

This study focuses the gendered relations of the Military Academy of Karlberg. More specific the study is investigating the experiences among young women and men cadets of suppression techniques. The purpose of the study is to get more knowledge about the work climate and suppression techniques at the officers? training program 2007/2010. The research questions employed for the study were:- Do the women and men officer students/cadets have any experiences of master suppressiontechniques at the officers? training program?- What kind of master suppression techniques occur at the officer?s training program?- What kind of master suppression techniques do women experience?- What kind of master suppression techniques do men experience?The study is a survey and data were retrieved by a questionnaire sent out to the participants.

Examensarbete som bestod i att rita en lÄg- och mellanstadieskola i det nybyggda omrÄdet Annedal. Skolan Àr programmerad för cirka 600 elever, sex Ärskurser med fyra klasser i varje Ärskurs, 25 elever i varje klass. Utöver de olika klassrummens hemklassrum breddades skolans program genom att lÄta specialklassrummen (slöjdsalar, idrottshall, mm) rita sig utÄt och bli offentliga lokaler efter skoltid. Skolans program bestÄr alltsÄ av 24 klassrum med tillhörande hemvister, tvÄ musiksalar, sal för trÀslöjd, sal för syslöjd, bibliotek, fullskalig idrottshall med fyra tillhörande omklÀdningsrum, en aula som rymmer hela skolan samt andra mer serviceinriktade skollokaler sÄsom matsal, skolkök och kontor för skolans administration.För att ta sig an skolans stora program anvÀndes en metod dÀr skolan fick komma till som i ett collage. Olika vÀl fungerande rumsligheter frÄn andra projekt blev inspirationskÀllor som införlivades och fogades in i byggnaden.Tanken om collaget blev Àven vÀgledande i utformningen av byggnadens estetik samt dess tekniska detaljer.

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between sleep, photoperiod, milk yield and hormones connected to milk formation. Variations of prolactin (PRL) and Insulin-Like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) in plasma were measured during two different light programs. The light programs consisted of either 24 hours of light (L24:D0) or four hours of light and 20 hours of darkness (L4:D20). Five cows of the Swedish Red breed were used in a cross-over experiment and each light program consisted of five days. Milk yield was measured at every milking and milk samples were analyzed with regard to fat, lactose and protein.

The Landscape Architecture Program at SLU, Ultuna provide several design courses. Within these courses, students are mainly introduced to one type of design process, a process based on the specific site and its conditions, known as Genius Loci. This report presents a course and a design methodology from Cornell University which aims to provide students with tools for a more conceptual way of thinking about design and architecture. The design method is presented in two stages. First an introduction to the course description and objectives.

Costs of maintenance on agriculture machines is something that many farmers has a low knowledge of, it can depend on low interest or that the farmer don?t have enough time. To make it easier for the farmers they can use many computer programs which are available on the market. In this program they can calculate their costs of maintaince on their agriculture machines, for example STANK and JTI machine calculation program. Most of this program is using Svensson (1987) costs model whish was made in Sweden in the middle of 80 decade in a large study.
