I detta konstnÀrliga arbete förklarar jag min instuderingsprocess och gÄr igenom olika tekniska aspekter i ?Five Bagatelles for guitar? av W. Walton.I inledningen försöker jag ge en övergripande bakgrundshistoria till min relation med musik och speciellt gitarr.Jag behandlar ocksÄ erfarenheter med personer jag har mött som pÄverkat mig i min musikaliska inriktning.Efter det skriver jag om Sir William Walton och vilken typ av kompositör och mÀnniska han var, för att förstÄ musiken kÀnns det naturligt att veta vem han var.Sedan följer en övergripande formanalys med text och notexempel, dÀr jag med text förklarar de musikaliska motiven samt behandlar diverse tekniska svÄrigheter jag stött pÄ under instuderingens gÄng..

Resandet idag har tagit nya former. MÀnniskor reser idag under kortare och fler perioder Àn vad de gjorde förr, vilket har medfört att planeringen innan, till och under resan blivit kortare. Turisten idag fÄr vidare förlita sig pÄ diverse tekniska hjÀlpmedel sÄsom Internet och GPS för att snabbt fÄ information om resmÄl och destinationer. I och med de kortare planeringstiderna samt de kortare reseperioderna har turister inte lÀngre alltid möjlighet att planera in guidade turer med en mÀnsklig guide. Till turistens undsÀttning i problemet finns idag förinspelade ljudguider som exempelvis kan anvÀndas genom att ringa upp ett specifikt nummer pÄ en mobiltelefon.

The purpose of this Master thesis is to examine how college library managers perceive shelves of book reservation system in an integrity perspective. Privacy is an important part of everyday life in the society of today and according to some people, for example a former library lawyer in the Swedish Royal Library, these shelves conflicts with the Swedish law of Secrecy (Sekretesslagen 9 kap. 22 §). I am therefore interested in how they perceive this system: what weaknesses and strengths it has, why they implemented it, how they have interpreted this law. To answer this I have used a qualitative method called phenomenography and done interviews with five college library managers.

The study's aim is to create an understanding for the question why Sweden in 1921chose to create its own classification system for public libraries instead of adapting e.g.the Dewey-system which - at this time - was internationally we11 spread. It examines thesocial changes which proceeded the creation of the Swedish Library Association (SLA)in 1915 and discusses in depth the work of the committee appointed by SLA to createthe classification system. Special interest is also given to the relation between SLACSand the Dewey-system.The study shows that the main influence on the codttee's work was the formerSwedish tradition of classification practice. The Dewey-system was seen as inappropriateto adapt in the Swedish libraries because of the vast changes that wouldhave to be done, and the fact that the decimal notation was practically unused in anylibraries in Sweden.From a methodological point of view, the study tries to apply a critical hermeneuticalapproach as developed by Paul Ricoeur.The study contains an extended English summary..

This thesis considers the development of the software for an, newly developed, embedded real-time control system, based on a Periferal Interface Controller (PIC). The control system is developed to be used for several different applications. In this thesis work, software for two different applications are developed. The first task is a time controlled system, while the other task is implementation of aPI-/PID-controller. A user interface is also developed and implemented.The time controlled system is an automatic horse feeder, which is used for feeding horses at certain predefined points in time.

NĂ€r ett system införs, spelar det ingen roll hur god funktionalitet det har, om anvĂ€ndarna av nĂ„gon anledning inte kan eller vill anvĂ€nda det pĂ„ ett effektivt sĂ€tt. I första hand bestĂ€ms anvĂ€ndbarheten hos ett program av egenskaper hos detta och hos de aktuella anvĂ€ndarna. God anvĂ€ndbarhet beror av acceptans frĂ„n anvĂ€ndarna, kompetens hos anvĂ€ndarna och anvĂ€ndarvĂ€nlighet hos systemet.För att undersöka hur man kan uppnĂ„ hög anvĂ€ndbarhet och dĂ€rmed en hög grad av anvĂ€ndande vid införande av ett nytt system, har vi gjort en undersökning av anvĂ€ndbarheten och anvĂ€ndandet av ett system vid Landstinget i Östergötland.VĂ„ra slutsatser visar pĂ„ att utbildning och information Ă€r mycket viktiga faktorer för att uppnĂ„ hög anvĂ€ndbarhet för ett system. MĂ„nga har en motvilja mot att anvĂ€nda datorer och problem med att se vilka fördelar ett införande av ett nytt system kan medföra, nĂ„got vi anser kan lösas med bĂ€ttre utbildning och information. Trots att teorier om anvĂ€ndbarhet funnits i över tio Ă„r, har vi funnit att det forfarande inte tas tillrĂ€cklig hĂ€nsyn till de grundlĂ€ggande faktorer som pĂ„verkar anvĂ€ndbarheten vid införande av ett system..

Abstract: After their introduction, technical systems designed for Situational Awareness have changed the possibilities on the battlefield. Today, Swedish tanks use a system known as the TCCS. This system offers many advantages to a tank platoon, but does it also bring disadvantages? This essay examines pros and cons with the TCCS. To find these the author uses a Swedish Armed Forces analyze model in a comparative study.

Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) is a quality control system created by the European Union (EU) to protect integrity of certain food and drinks that are produced in a specific area in a unique way. By protecting these products, the EU can certify that the traditional region-specific methods of food and drink production are preserved. The EU countries that follow such a system are mostly from Southern Europe. For instance in France, the PDO system has helped improve the income for farmers, boosted the rural development and assured protection for farmers against the abuse of their brand and the selling of their products by outsiders. In Sweden, there are no PDO products yet, instead there is Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) and Traditional Speciality Guarantee (TSG) that are not as protective as PDO.

The power system modelled in this thesis work has been developed for simulationwhen e.g. the production in some part of the power system is changed. The powersystem has been modelled according to the swing mass of the system, the frequencydependency of the load and the turbine governor. The model determines the systemfrequency, the period of regulation and the power exchange between the differentsubsystems in the Nordic synchronized system.In this model the system frequency is assumed to be the same in all different parts ofthe power system and the voltage conditions in the power system are neglected. Forthat reason power swings does not occur between different subsystems in the powersystem, which usually occur as a result of the swinging connection between thetransmissions line.

This master thesis concerns the relationship the librarianhas to the libraries classification system. The system itselfis made by librarians for librarians and is only used bylibrarians. This raises the question of how the librariansrelate to their own system to create order. The empiricalmaterial consists of five in-depth interviews with librarians.Two theoretical approaches were used in the analysis of thematerial with one focus on the librarian?s professional rolland the other on the postmodern theories about humansneed for order.

There are regulations in sweden that require organizations to manage occupational,  health and safetey (OH&S) issues in a systematic way. The contents of the management system vary depending of the activity of the specific organisation. An accurate management system is crucial in order to assure that rules and regulations are fullfilled. The OHSAS 18001 standard covering OH&S management is intended to provide organizations with the elements of an efficient OH&S management system. The work with this thesis was done at Swemat AB in HÀrnösand wich is a mechanical industry. In the thesis, the requirements of the OHSAS standard are compared with the current management system.

Problem: Our opinion is that it is important to consider about usability in system development. In this thesis we will focus on usability in point-of-sale systems. The point-of-sale system we base this thesis on is Extenda Retail. Our case study is performed on Ica Kvantum in Bromölla, which implemented Extenda Retail about two years ago. Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to figure out what important factors there are to consider, in usability aspects, when developing point-of-sale systems, with focus on the cashier.

This study investigates communication and data in information systems. The paper deals, more specificly, with communication in a CRM-system implemented in a Swedish-founded company in Beijing, China. It discusses cultural, political, linguistic and gender based dilemmas that can arise from the use of a CRM-system in an international and bilingual environment. Fifty-nine interviews were conducted in Sweden and in China, either in Swedish or English. The result of this study shows that communication in the information system is affected by factors, that are not originated in technical shortcomings of the system, but rather from cultural, political, linguistic and gender based pre-knowledge among individuals.

Vi har undersökt vad tvÄ olika företag gör, enligt dess IT-chefer, för att styra och sÀkerstÀlla att de kan förvalta och utveckla befintliga informationssystem över tiden. Undersökningen genomfördes som en fallstudie utifrÄn intervjuer med IT-cheferna vid dessa tvÄ företag. Resultatet visar att informationssystem och dess förvaltning ses som en naturlig del i företagets kÀrnverksamhet, eftersom IT-chefen placerats i företagets ledning. De undersökta organisationerna strÀvar efter en IRM baserad systemarkitektur för att hÄlla nere kostnaderna och samt att hÄlla informationen aktuell och samlad pÄ ett stÀlle. Den snabba tekniska utvecklingen i kombination med stora kostnader vid investeringar i nya system har gjort att resurserna i huvudsak satsas pÄ att underhÄlla och utveckla befintliga informationssystem..
