Current technology offers many possibilities for remotecommunication. Nevertheless, people with cognitive and communicativedisabilities have limited access to common communication technology like textmessaging via a mobile phone. This study is part of the project Text messagingwith picture symbols - a possibility for AAC users and people with cognitiveimpairments. Semi structured interviews were used to investigate three menand four women?s experiences of using Windows mobiles with adaptedfunctions for text messaging.

AbstractThe purpose of this study is to see how technology is presented in different fictional picture books that are available in preschool. Six fictional picture books that have connection to technology in picture and text have been analysed. In order to show how technology can be made visible in fictional picture books, the relation between picture and text has been analysed through a technology perspective. Furthermore, the pictures and the texts have been analysed separately in order to show what they show respectively in terms of technology. The fictional picture book has a potential to be a basis for making technology visible in preschool, which is a step in a new direction.

Få institutioner är i lika hög grad som skolan föremål för forskning och åsikter. Alla har rätt att säga sitt när det gäller skola och utbildning, vilket medför att forskning emellanåt anammas utan vare sig reflektion eller vidare granskning. Nytt för skolan för tillfället är ett vidgat textbegreppstänkande. Nytt är också att individuella utvecklingsplaner ska upprättas för varje elev. ?Individualitet? är ett begrepp som bland annat den amerikanske pedagogen John Dewey (1859-1952) hade teorier om.

Idag lagras enorma mängder elektronisk text i databaser på företag, institutioner och liknande ställen. Textmassorna är oftast lättåtkomliga, lätt redigerade och enkla att sprida. Dessvärre dyker det upp problem när man ska läsa och navigera i stora dokument. Kognitiva belastningar på korttidsminnet är en följd av svårigheten att överblicka stora dokument. Det uppstår även problem med navigeringen i dokumenten.

Previsualisation är en arbetsprocess som i ett tidigt stadie ger oss preliminära versioner av bilder eller sekvenser. Den är till för att kunna uppskatta produktionskraven, visualisera ideér och en gemensam vision. En teknisk previsualisation är en mer specifik term där teknisk exakthet är avgörande. En teknisk previs kan skapas i programmet FrameForge Pré-viz Studio som denna text redogör för. Previsualisationen som beskrivs i denna text lägger grund för diskussioner kring hur den kan användas på en filminspelning.

Studien är en kritisk diskursanalys av hur begreppet ?text? framställs i styrdokumenten för gymnasieskolans svenskämne, i relation till hur ett antal språkbrukare; lärare och elever, definierar och förhåller sig till ett vidgat textbegrepp. Undersökningen som studien baseras på, består av tre kvalitativa lärarintervjuer och ett 50-tal elevenkäter, gjord i tre olika klasser på skilda skolor i Örebro län. Resultatet visar att synen på textbegreppet och användningen av olika texter och medier i undervisningen, varierar stort. Granskningen av styrdokumenten visar att framställningen av textbegreppet är otydlig och motsägelsefull, vilket kan vara en delförklaring till denna variation..

Inspections within the building industry are surrounded by a rigorous set of rules presented in AB 04 and ABT 94. There are several types of inspections but the final inspection has the biggest legal implications and is important in many aspects, since it?s the one that ends the contract time for the contract i.e. when the contract is passed on from contractor to the client. It is also a confirmation on how the contract has been carried out and that the potential guarantee times after the contract will start to apply. The objective of the following report is to find out what different types of inspections there are as well as a legal understanding about what happens before, during and above all after the final inspection.

The aim of this thesis has been to examine how the risk for the swine flu was represented in the Swedish Radio news broadcast Ekot 16.45 during different phases of the pandemic in 2009. We wanted to study how the risk was described in different discourses and periods? Were the participants in the reporting calming or warning the listeners in relations to different aspects of the swine flu? What consequences for the community were reported in the broadcasting?To find the answers to our questions, we analysed 13 features about the swine flu broadcasted in Ekot?s main news broadcast Ekot 16.45. We used critical discourse analysis inspired by Norman Fairclough.We identified four types of discourses in our text, a journalistic discourse, a medical discourse, a nationalistic discourse and an authority discourse. The main discourse was the medical one.

Authors: Philip Trollér & Jasmin FrljevicTitle: A sharp striker or forwardLevel: Bachelor of JournalismLocation: University of GothenburgLanguage: SwedishNumber of pages: 62All throughout time the Swedish language has been influenced by various external languages. And throughout the years many loanwords have been introduced to the Swedish vocabulary. And this phenomenon occurs in the texts written by Swedish sport journalists. But in what extent do loanwords from the English vocabulary occur in texts written by Swedish sportjournalists, in what types of texts they can be found. And also why the usage of loanwords occur.The purpose of our study is to find out how frequent English loanwords are in Swedish sports journalism.

Detta examensarbete syftade till att studera meningsskapandet i mötet mellan elever i skolår nio och en text ur deras lärobok i fysik. Arbetet utgick från ett pragmatiskt perspektiv och prövade praktisk epistemologisk analys, PEA, för att angripa den meningsskapande processen i detta möte. Det prövade angreppssättet PEA styrde metoden då analysen utgick från en pågående aktivitet, i detta fall mötet mellan elev och en lärobokstext i fysik. Mötet spelades in och observerades för att transkriberas och analyseras. Tydligt framkom att de meningar som skapades hos eleverna påverkades av lärobokens erbjudna innehåll.

The authors of this thesis have studied the handling of personal information in various kinds of organizations, because the perception is that the knowledge in this area is weak relative to the weight of the subject.The purpose of this paper has been partly to shed light on how knowledge of this area in the organizations that we have visited during the study but also to answer questions about handling, knowledge and security, and identification of individuals in different systems. What kind of problems the processing of these data creates and why these problems occur.In the beginning of our study we understood the importance of using the correct identifier and therefore chose also to examine what the various identifiers used by the organizations and why they chose these particular identifiers.In the qualitative analysis, Datainspektionen´s general rules and advice has been used as a basis together with the laws applicable to the organizations to get a good picture of how management of personal information is in these organizations.What we have found in this paper is that knowledge about how personal data is handled and what laws and rules are saying is very much dependent on how central the information is to these organization's activities. The police use so many different types of records for their organization to function well and they have very good knowledge of laws and regulations. In contrast, schools that do not handle as much of personal data themselves nor have the same knowledge among staff and do not have enough resources to cope with keeping the same knowledge base as the police. This is something that applies to all types of handling, depending on how important the information is for the organization, the better the security and knowledge in handling the data is..

There is a need for productivities data and data for different types of machines for comminution of logging residues. The lack of data and studies on GROT comminution makes it difficult to evaluate different chains for handling of residue fuels and make system analyses.Four types of machines with three different working principles were compared at six studies during winter conditions. Three to eleven trials during 9.5 to 30.7 minutes were made on each machine. Samples from the produced material at each study were sieved to determine the size distribution of the comminuted material. Samples were also taken from the studies for determination of moisture content.

The background to this final thesis is that our mandator, A-hus, was interested to examine which roof system that would be most appropriate to their types of houses. To investigate this, we first conducted an evaluation of the most commonly used roof systems in Sweden today: decking, board, roof cloth and prefabricated roof cassettes.To gather information about the different systems we have conducted interviews with several professionals within the construction industry, done an extensive literature study, and gathered information from the Internet.Based on the evaluation of roof systems and the literature, we analyzed advantages and disadvantages of the roof systems from three main perspectives: system characteristics, economics and other characteristics. We found these perspectives to be the most relevant when selecting a roof system.The main perspectives comprise three categories which are graded. These grades are then added together for a score for each main perspective and a total score for the three main perspectives. Then we compared the systems and, based on the scores, suggested one roof system as the most suitable for A-hus.Our result suggests that the prefabricated roof cassettes probably is the best solution for A-hus, but only if it is possible to standardize the cassettes and still maintain the flexibility to match A-hus? house types.
