Taligenkänning som verktyg vid direkttextning av tv-program har börjat användas på försök av några utländska tv-bolag. I examensarbetet undersöks möjligheten att använda svensk taligenkänning för att direkttexta tv-program på Sveriges Television. Ett av de största hindren för talbaserad direkttextning är att den kognitiva belastningen ökar vidsamtidigt lyssnande, talande, och skrivande. Dessa tre moment måste kunna utföras samtidigt av textaren. Undersökningar visade att det borde vara fullt möjligt att arbeta på detta sätt.

Vidare var syftet att ge en bild av hur olika mentorer, på samma skola, arbetar med sitt mentorskap i praktiken. Genom kvalitativa intervjuer har sex mentorer fått beskriva sina erfarenheter och tankar kring det egna mentorskapet. Historiskt har en mentor fungerat som ledsagare både kunskapsmässigt, personligt och socialt.

Nya gymnasiereformen Gy11 har större skillnad mellan högskoleförberedande- och yrkes program än tidigare reformen Lpf 94, vilket gör gymnasievalet ännu viktigare för elevers framtida karriärutveckling. Syftet med denna studie är att kartlägga vilka faktorer eleverna anger påverkar dem när de väljer program till gymnasiet. Den socioekonomiska bakgrunden och studie- och yrkesvägledningens betydelse och andra signifikanta faktorer ur ett elevperspektiv belyses i frågeställningarna. Studien genomförs med hjälp av en kvantitativ metod och resultatet visar att eleverna själva och deras intresse och framtidsdrömmar är de mest betydelsefulla faktorerna. Vårdnadshavare har även en stor påverkan, det visas då eleverna tenderar att reproducera sina vårdnadshavares utbildningsväg.

Varje år tar två sjökaptensprogram, ett fyraårigt program med fartygsförlagd utbildning och ett treårigt program som kräver att studenten har tidigare erfarenhet av arbete som matros, examen från Sjöfartshögskolan i Kalmar. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur de nyutexaminerade styrmännen upplevde sin första tid i yrket som styrman, om de hade de nödvändiga förkunskaperna för att klara av sitt jobb och om det skilde sig mellan styrmännen från de olika programmen. För att undersöka detta användes en kvalitativ metod där personliga intervjuer genomfördes. Tio styrmän, fem från varje program, som tagit examen från Sjöfartshögskolan i Kalmar våren 2012 valdes slumpvis ut för intervjuer. Resultatet från intervjuerna visade att styrmännen var nöjda med sina förkunskaper från Sjöfartshögskolan i Kalmar.

Presently Sjöfartsverket do their maintenance according to a standard program, which means that every maintenance task will be done when the task limit occurs. This leads to a very long downtime for the aircraft in some occasions and very short downtime in others. The goal with this work is to reach a higher regularity of the aircraft operation. To reach a higher regularity for the operational needs, this work will present a hypothetic better maintenance concept for Swedish Maritime Administration. The concept is based on equalized maintenance structure, which means that every maintenance occasions are meant to take the same time to perform.
