In connection with riding and handling of horses, many accidents that can cause severe injuries to both horses and humans are existent. The cause is in most cases that the horse is frightened. The horse's fear also affects its usefulness and it has been shown to have adverse effects on the horse's welfare. To increase safety and improve the welfare of both humans and horses, it is important to find appropriate training methods to reduce the fear of horses in frightening situations. This experimental study compares handled habituation to free habituation.

This degree project is on 15 university points which correspond to 10 weeks full time studies. The work has been carried out during autumn term 2007 and spring term 2008.

My task has been to develop a concept that solves the problem according to the requirement specification.In the rapport the reader can follow the development from an idea to a finished concept.

Användningen av produktplacering har ökat då traditionell marknadskommunikation till viss del förlorat sin trovärdighet och kan undvikas av mottagaren. Framväxten av produktplacering har inneburit att det kommit att bli ett betydande kommunikationsverktyg. Kommunikationen mellan sändare och mottagare beskrivs i kommunikationsprocessen där sändaren skickar ett meddelande/budskap genom ett visst media som ska avkodas av mottagaren. Vad mottagaren uppfattar beror på vad som avkodas, och detta skiljer sig mellan individer. För att gruppera individer används ofta kön, och i marknadsföringssammanhang utgör det en stor segmenteringsvariabel.

In the present case, the conception of policy hitchhiking gets evaluated in terms of its implications for democracy. This task is executed through the accomplishment of a case study of the use of social- and environmental clauses in the Swedish competitive tendering.A useful definition of policy hitchhiking, including different types of actors, is created.Through the defining of democracy and policy hitchhiking, the author comes to the conclusion that policy hitchhiking in some respects does meet democracy values.The thesis? result can in some sense be regarded as a contribution to the pursuit of knowledge of how power is distributed in the society and how the current distribution can be explained and understood..

This work is meant to contribute to the research of adaptation studies by focusing on a special case: the transformation of a fictional diary into a movie. In order to sustain the form of the literary source the adaptation to movie requires certain strategies. Först of all, the diary genre is characterized by a one-dimensional narration. Second, diaries only supply a few written dialogues, hence this "void" has to be compensated and filled by media specific measures. Third, the investigated diary is a story of individualization and emancipation of a single woman.

Detta examensarbete handlar om hur elever tänker vid lösandet av proportionalitetsuppgifter. Arbetet består dels av en orientering om forskning inom området och en egen undersökning. I tidigare forskning har två huvudkategorier av proportionalitetstänkande utkristalliserats; A- respektive B-tänkande eller between respektive within. På senare år har forskning belyst även andra aspekter, bland annat enhetsskapande, vid lösande av proportionalitetsuppgifter. Min egen undersökning är en intervjustudie kring fyra uppgifter av typen jämförelse (comparison).

Alltför ofta i dagens samhälle träffar medborgarna på poliser, ordningsvakter, väktare och ibland enrtévärdar. Folk har en rätt så allmänbildad uppfattning om polisen och deras organisation. Men hur är det med ordningsvakter och väktare? Många människor i samhället tror att det är en och samma sak. Eller så jämförs de med polisen vilket är helt fel.

The purpose of this master thesis was to study the librarians?assignment at the public accesses computers, especially howthe librarians perceive what their task is and what their taskshould be.In order to answer these questions a series of ten qualitativeinterviews ?inspired by the phenomenographic approach ?was conducted with librarians who were employed at smallpublic libraries in municipalities with 5 000 - 25 000residents in Sweden.The conclusions in the master thesis were that librarianshave both similarities and differences in how they perceivetheir tasks at the public computers. The most essential taskwas helping the user with information seeking. Thelibrarians also perceived that it should be included in theirduties to help users with the technical/practical issues at thepublic computers. Competence, time and assets were finallythree outlying factors which affected in what extent thelibrarians were able to help the users..

In the electronic industrials, power control of AC motors is commonly used. For example power control of a washing machine motor, a vacuum cleaner motor or a coffee machine motor. The company Rejlers Ingenjörer AB has many projects where power control of AC motors is included. A prototype card for this task can save time and money for the company in the future and this is the reason for this thesis.The motors are power controlled by a TRIAC and control of the trigging pulses to the TRIAC. This card is modularly built and can easily be adapted for future projects where the power control of AC motors are included.The prototype card can be used as a subsystem in a larger electronics projects or as it is in lab environment for testing and evaluating new motors..

Lumilos is a work investigating the possibilities to use light and color in an interactive design context. I have explored different light sources and compared them to each other and given a short description of the history of light and how it has been developed during the industrialization in the western world. I have also investigated what is currently done in the field and summarized that with examples in the categories passive-, colored-, material- and interactive light. The conclusion is that working with interactive color and light is a hard task. There are many different angles to take into account such as personal likings and earlier experiences that is uncontrollable by the designer. Yet there are many possibilities and light is a material that is moldable in many forms. I have put the knowledge about light and color into practice and developed an interactive light wall that is visualizing energy consumption with the use of different colors of light and animations.

The purpose of this thesis was to design an electrical system for use in a ballistic test at the Swedish National laboratory of forensic science (SKL). The detector unit would use four main parts: coilsystem, transmitter, reciever and indicator. The coilsystem would be based on a balanced system using three coils. One that creates a magneticfield and the other two will sense the differences when a metallobject is in the coilsystem. This report starts out by investigating possible solutions for this specific task followed by a description of the physics that the metaldetector use.

Throughout the years the Swedish local history societies have collected a large quantity of material, consisting of photos, documents and items, among others. As the society has become more computerized, the need has increased for these collections to become digitalized. This is a way to make their media more easily accessible to the general public, but also to easily be able to archive and preserve for example photos and videos electronically.This thesis concerns itself with the work we have done for the local history society of Nyed in Molkom. The task set before us consisted of creating both a website for the society, and a reliable database from witch the website draws its information. This project allows anyone with administrator privileges to upload new files and any additional information.

The task of making a correct application for B- activities is the foundry time consuming task. Information and facts concerning your entire business activity shall be attached into a description of environmental consequences, which will be the basis for the decision making whether the activities shall be granted a permission to practise environmentally hazardous actions or not. When the Environmental Act were established 1999, the permission process became more extensor. With this study I want to give an insight about how these applications are made. The methods I have used to collect information are a study literature where the Environmental Act has been the focus, and qualitative interviews with two County Administrative Board. I used the Environmental Act to understand why permission is needed and the interviews to give me insight in how the work is done. My conclusion is that it is very unusual that an application is granted without complements.

Every municipality in Sweden is responsible for offering its citizens adequate childcare. Parents hand in a preliminary schedule to the preschool for when their child needs to be in childcare, and based on this the preschool staff is scheduled. Some municipalities measure the actual time a child is in childcare. The essay idea comes from when I heard that one municipality was thinking of register the children's actual time in preschools. I started thinking on how to solve such a task.

Syftet med vår uppsats är att förklara vad det är som driver de allmännyttiga ideella idrottsföreningarna in i gråzonen mellan den korrekta och helt felaktiga redovisningen.Vi valde att göra vår uppsats med hjälp av åtta fallstudier. Vi har utvecklat en egen teori som avser att förklara vilka faktorer som driver allmännyttiga ideella idrottsföreningar in i Gråzonen. Teori har vi utvecklat utifrån Positive Accounting Theory, den institutionella teorin och agentteorin. Från teorin har vi sedan utarbetat sex hypoteser som vi avser att pröva med en empirisk undersökning.Vi gjorde ett icke-sannolikhetsurval för att få med allmännyttiga ideella idrottsföreningar i urvalet som vi ansåg relevanta för undersökningen. Det innefattade att föreningarna skulle skilja sig gentemot varandra i storlek, medlemsstruktur och grundförutsättningar.
