This thesis, titled ?Change, choice and conditions?, is written by Lina Skantze and Bianca Zandén. The study explores the process in which individuals? attempt to end their criminal career, focusing on the interplay between path of life, choices, and conditions. The method is qualitative, and the empirical material consists of interviews with four young adults that all have experience of criminality.

As a soccer coach for youths with disabilities and as active soccer players, our thoughts regarding the basic principles of sports where awakened and how it corresponds with the possibilities of disabled youths participating in club organized sports. From that thought came the idea that, with our team as the point of original we should contribute with increased knowledge regarding the experiences of disabled youths doing sports. Using ethnography and co-operative observations we have researched both including and excluding factors that contribute to the possibilities of disabled youths opportunity to do sports. We have been able to distinguish that the youths in question feel that sports can be identity-building as well as give a sense of community. The study shows that the basic principles of sports does not correspond with reality because the lack of availability is the determinant factor. .

This essay investigates the work situation for teacher educators at a university with focus on the subject areas education, research and administration. The research questions contain the work situation the teacher educators have, how they apprehend it, and how they find their position within the work organisation. Six interviews have been executed at the teacher education at a university. Some of the results from the investigation indicate that the teacher educators find education to be very a very demanding work and that the split of work during the academic year is uneven. The work with administration before and after the education, for example work with syllabuses and descriptions for courses, are activities demanding much time.

The thesis presents an optimally designed kinematic structure for a new 6-DOF haptic devicebased on TAU configuration. The configuration of the TAU-2 proposed by Suleman Khan andKjell Andersson [1] was modified and its mobility was verified by using Grübler criterion tohave a 6 DOF. Analytical kinematic models for the inverse and forward kinematics weredeveloped for the haptic TAU configuration to determine a set of optimal design parameters.Kinematic performance indices such as volume of the workspace, kinematic isotropy and payload index, were defined based on the singular values of the Jacobian matrix. The Jacobianmatrix was scaled to homogenize the physical units. The Jacobian matrix dependent on theposition and orientation of the end-effector gives local isotropy and pay load index, so globaldesign indices were defined, which represent the performance of the mechanism in the wholeworkspace.

Vi har under vår utbildning till lärare för grundskolans senare år berört fördelarna med att arbeta i arbetslag. Syftet med vår studie var att undersöka lärares och övrig skolpersonals uppfattning om arbete i arbetslag. Vi började med litteraturstudier för att sätta oss in i ämnet och etablerade kontakt med vår undersökningsskola. Efter bearbetning, tolkning och analys av vår kvalitativa enkätstudie, i en högstadieskola, kom vi fram till att lärare och övrig skolpersonal anser att arbetslagets viktigaste uppgifter är elevvård, kollegialt stöd och ämnessamverkan. Vidare visar resultaten att det som uppfattas som positivt med arbetslag är just möjligheten till elevvård, kollegialt stöd och ämnessamverkan.

This study is about Swedish football supporters located on the cheering section of the arena. These supporters are often being described as hooligans and as a threat to Swedish football. The aim of this study were therefor to provide further knowledge about the supporters on the cheering section and their culture. Questions about supporter behaviour and supporters own opinion on their effect at Swedish football and supporter culture were examined. The data was collected thru a web-based survey of Swedish football supporters.

AIMS AB is a Swedish company that develops and sells inertial sensor systems. A new product is under research which basically is an aided inertial navigation system where unwanted drift is eliminated. This can be done by integrating a GPS reciever into the system and fuse measurement data from GPS and IMU. Such a product is useful in racing, where engineers always are searching for the optimal performance and the shortest lap times. Today the only feedback the engineers and mechanics get from their work is the driver?s comments and lap times.

Bakgrund: Strokepatienter svarar för flest sjukdagar inom den somatiska vården i Sverige och därför finns det ett samhällsekonomiskt intresse av att minska strokepatienters vårdtid. Ett samarbete mellan olika yrkesgrupper inom vården kan bidra till detta. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att belysa autonomin hos strokepatienter med funktionshinder i samverkan med multiprofessionella rehabiliteringsteam. Metod: Studien genomfördes somen litteraturstudie genom granskning av 16 publicerade vetenskapliga artiklar. Resultat: Resultatet av studien pekar på tre grundläggande förutsättningar för att rehabiliteringen skall leda till största möjliga autonomi hos strokepatienter.

This paper contains an analysis that sets out to investigate how sustainable development is portrayed in textbooks used in gymnasium level civics education. The study covers three textbooks, all in current use. The paper sets out to explore the relationship between the books chapters on economics and those about environmental issues. The sum of these two parts is in the context supposed to make up the books big picture of green sustainable development, i.e. the ecological aspect of sustainable development. An analytical model will be used to categorise and compare the three textbooks.The method chosen for this is analysis of ideas by use of ideal types.

This essay looks in to the logistics operational significance during the Korean war,1950-1953. The purpose is to give an orientation about how the logistical functioninfluenced the events during the Korean war. Aiming on the investigation anddescription of the logistical organisation and it?s consistency on operations. To achievethe purpose the author searched the answer to two main questions during the analyse ofthe different texts.

Idag befinner sig de flesta företag i en situation med ökad internationalisering som har gett industrin drivkrafter till att ständigt sträva efter att bli bättre. Företag och organisationer måste alltså försöka hitta nya sätt att använda sina tillgångar mer effektivt. För att hitta dessa sätt krävs att företag använder sig av medarbetarnas kreativitet. Den överlägset största delen av de anställda är de utan ledarbefattning, vilkas kreativa förmåga sällan tas vara på. Det är en stor outnyttjad resurs hos många företag.

The Thesis purpose is in the context of system development validate the Scrum Methodology. Projects concerning information technology are difficult to manage and tend to fail in quality, time or costs. Scrum presents a new view of the system development. Better cooperation between customers and developers, continuous follow-up on daily basis and extensive communication in the development team are all characteristics of Scrum. Scrum is described as a new paradigm by its founders but has been criticized by experts of system development too.

I följande examensarbete undersöks hur kvigors utfodring påverkar marmoreringen. Under undersökningens tid har nio nötköttsproducenter intervjuats. Samtliga hade under 2011 levererat kvigor för slakt till Team Ugglarps anläggning i Hörby. Intervjufrågorna berörde främst hur producenterna hade utfodrat kvigorna, men även information om stalltyp och betesdrift noterades. Syftet med undersökningen var att få mer kunskap om hur utfodringen kan påverka köttets marmorering, samt att se om det fanns någon speciell utfodringsstrategi som ska följas för att få bra marmorering. Marmorering på nötkött påverkas av flera faktorer. Olika raser har olika egenskaper för att få bra marmorering på kött. Men även djurets ålder, kön och djurkategori påverkar marmoreringen.
