The objective of this study was to examine three common mobile phoneplatforms in relation to their network traffic features. The platforms to beexamined are Android, iOS 5 and Windows Phone. After the investigation wascompleted a prototype application was implemented in order to demonstratethese features in the most suitable platform. The application will function as atelephone call exchanger. In addition, the application must also send the userstatistic to a Web server, accept contacts from a Web server, as well as having aspecial administration part in which the userstatistc can be presented.

During the later half of the 20th century standard form contracts began to be used more frequently in contract situations. This trend has been consistent and in today?s world numerous commercial parties employ such contracts in their business transactions. The reasons for the extended use of standard form contracts are the benefits that can be obtained for the parties such as time efficiency, effectiveness and price advantages. Standardised contracts often regulate certain issues of the contract for example the way of delivery, remedies and complaints.

Bakgrund: Self-efficacy, en persons tilltro till sin förmåga, är en faktor som påverkar hälsobeteenden såsom fysisk aktivitet. Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale mäter denna egenskap genom självskattning, men har inte utvärderats för personer med schizofreni.Syfte: Att omarbeta Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale för personer med schizofreni.Metod: Deskriptiv design med psykometrisk prövning av den omarbetade Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale. Första delen av studien bestod av fokusgrupper med patienter och personal på en psykiatrisk öppenvårdsmottagning för patienter med psykossjukdom. Utifrån resultatet av dessa utvecklades Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale ? Schizophrenia Version.

This report treats detection in IR-pictures taken from airplanes over the ground. The detection is divided in two parts. First there is a detection with filterkernels with the task to point on targets and objects that look like targets. The second part is a discriminator that demands more calculations and has the task to sort out the false alarms from the discriminator. Both the detector and the discriminator contain thresholds thats been trained from trainingsets of data.

Syftet med detta arbete är att visa att det inte bara är det skivor parallellt vindriktningen som påverkar stabiliseringen utan även de vinkelrät vindriktningen. Byggnaden som kommer att studeras är ett av två stycken åttavåningshus utanför Stockholm. Båda husen är likadana och består av nedersta våningen i betong och resterande sju våningar i trä. Detta är ett husbyggnadsprojekt som görs utav Lindbäcks Bygg AB i Piteå.Genom detta arbete ska stabiliseringen i den vinkelräta riktningen undersökas mer hur den samverkar med den parallella. Det ska visas genom beräkningar där vindstabilisering genom skivverkan beräknas som vanligt, parallellt vindriktningen, och därefter även ta med skivorna vinkelrätt vindriktningen.

In the dog-human relationship humans are the ones who provide the dog with safety and comfort. Ainsworth's Strange Situation Procedure (ASSP), which was originally developed in humans to study the relationship between mothers and infants, has been modified to investigate the emotional bond research dogs have to a familiar person. Twelve research dogs were tested to investigate whether the dogs performed any behaviours indicating a secure-base effect, such as more exploration and play in the presence of a familiar person and proximity-seeking behaviours when this person is or has been absent. In the ASSP the dog enters a room with a familiar person, is introduced to a stranger, is left alone for a short period of time and experiences moments of separation and reunion. A second variation of the ASSP was added where the familiar person was replaced by another, to the dog, unfamiliar person.

Since the brain is an important prerequisite for human language there is a great interest to gain more knowledge about healthy brain activity during language mediated communication. This study examines variations in high level language ability relating to demographic factors like gender and age and relates language ability to neural activity.Eighteen individuals in ages between 22 and 64 were included and divided into groups in relation to gender and age. The material used to assess language ability was derived from Testbatteri för Bedömning av Subtila Språkstörningar (Laakso, Brunnegård, Hartelius & Ahlsén, 2000), Swedish Lexical Decision Test (Almkvist, Adveen, Henning & Tallberg, 2007) and a reading test (Högskoleprovet). The results were correlated with measured brain activity using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) and language paradigms. ANOVA was applied to discover possible demographic variances in language ability as well as in brain activity.The results showed no significant differences in language ability.

The ability to tackle NP-hard problems has been greatly extended by the introduction of Metaheuristics (see Blum & Roli (2003)) for a summary of most Metaheuristics, general problem-independent optimisation algorithms extending the hill-climbing local search approach to escape local minima. One of these algorithms is Iterated Local Search (ILS) (Lourenco et al., 2002; Stützle, 1999a, p. 25ff), a recent easy to implement but powerful algorithm with results comparable or superior to other state-of-the-art methods for many combinatorial optimisation problems, among them the Traveling Salesman (TSP) and Quadratic Assignment Problem (QAP). ILS iteratively samples local minima by modifying the current local minimum and restartinga local search porcedure on this modified solution. This thesis will show how ILS can be implemented for MSA.

Background: Goodwill has been a hot and debated topic for a longer period of time. Researchers have debated how goodwill should be accounted for and have not come to a solution. In 2005 IFRS standards came which meant that goodwill no longer will be amortized according to plan, but to be put through a yearly impairment test.Problem: A number of disclosure requirements in the financial reports have been made in an effort to avoid companies to account for goodwill differently. Apparently there still is a problem of how companies account for goodwill and there are several studies in the subject. But no one has studied how it is between two different industries, which make this study interesting to execute.Purpose/questions: This study have the purpose to investigate how the industries day to day wares and health care regards the disclosure requirements for goodwill by the impairment tests.

Syfte: Studiens syfte ?r att unders?ka klimatp?verkan fr?n Gothia Cups m?ltider under ?ren 2016 ? 2025 genom att analysera hur recepten f?r?ndrats ?ver tid och hur livsmedelsval p?verkat eventuella f?r?ndringar i utsl?ppsekvivalenter. Metod: Dokumentanalys av arbetsbeskrivningar har genomf?rts utifr?n RISE klimatdatabas i kostdataprogrammet Matilda d?r data i form av koldioxidekvivalenter analyserats. Resultatet har sammanst?llts och analyserats statistiskt med Friedmans och Wilcoxons test i statistikdataprogrammet SPSS Statistics med en Bonferroni-korrigering. Resultat: Studien visar en minskning av utsl?pp i koldioxidekvivalenter med 62,5% mellan ?ren 2016 och 2025 vilket motsvarar 870 ton koldioxidekvivalenter. F?r?ndringen har skett fr?mst genom minskning av andelen r?tter med n?tk?tt, till f?rm?n f?r kyckling, fisk och vegetariska r?tter. Statistiskt signifikanta skillnader identifierades mellan tre ?r. Slutsats: Mellan ?ren 2016 och 2025 har anv?ndningen av r?varor med h?g klimatp?verkan minskat.

 The objective of this thesis is to examine the difference in workability in fresh concrete, when crushed fine aggregate replaces natural gravel. The shape of the fine aggregate,  packing and flow of six crushed material and three natural materials will be determined by easy studies, the results will be compared with a slump cone test..

I denna uppsats redovisas en jämförelse mellan den skriftliga delen av åtta godkända och åtta underkända Tisus-prov. Dels görs en processbarhetsanalys som bygger på inlärningshierarkin i Pienemanns Processbarhetsteori, dels en felanalys. Analyserna visar att de godkända och de underkända testtagarna i stort sett använder sig av samma strukturer. Den huvudsakliga skillnaden verkar vara att de godkända testtagarna använder sig av strukturerna i något högre utsträckning sam-tidigt som de oftare rättrealiserar de olika konstruktionerna. Felanalysen relaterar antal fel med antal ord och visar att felandelen verkar vara en viktig faktor vid betygssättningen.
