The purpose of this report is to make an evaluation of the self-monitoring for scarification which Stora Enso is using and this study deals with the effects and importance of scarification. A comparison is made in this study with the purpose to highlight any differences between some of the leading forestry companies and significant forest organizations in Sweden. The companies represented in this report are Korsnäs, Mellanskog, SCA, Sveaskog and Södra. In the beginning of this study an interview form was set up together with Daniel Forsberg at Stora Enso.

Historiskt sett har djur haft stor betydelse och anses fortfarande vara viktiga för människan. Djurens roll som sällskapsdjur i dagens samhälle har varit som familjemedlem, kamrat och sällskap. Sällskapsdjuren har också flera positiva effekter på människans hälsa och välbefinnande. Redan i början av 1960-talet fann forskare att hundar hade en unik inverkan på människor i svåra situationer och på människor med särskilda behov. Sällskapsdjur uppfattades som icke-fördömande, tillgivna samt kärleksfulla och därför har djur använts inom vård och rehabilitering. En växande mängd internationella forskningsstudier indikerar att djur kan ha värdefulla effekter på människan och främjar individens hälsa och välbefinnande, fysiologiskt och psykologiskt.

Allt eftersom utvecklingen går framåt inom applikationer och system så förändras också sättet på vilket vi interagerar med systemet på. Hittills har navigering och användning av applikationer och system mestadels skett med händerna och då genom mus och tangentbord. På senare tid så har navigering via touch-skärmar och rösten blivit allt mer vanligt. Då man ska styra en applikation med hjälp av rösten är det viktigt att vem som helst kan styra applikationen, oavsett vilken dialekt man har. För att kunna se hur korrekt ett röstigenkännings-API (Application Programming Interface) uppfattar svenska dialekter så initierades denna studie med dokumentstudier om dialekters kännetecken och ljudkombinationer.

There are differences today amongst psychoanalysts regarding if psychoanalysis should limit itself to being exclusively a hermeneutic discipline or if psychoanalysis should find points of contact with neurobiology. The purpose of this essay is to touch upon the larger issue that creates the different points of view: Can psychoanalysis become enriched by finding points of contact with neurobiology, and should psychoanalysis be regarded as belonging to a broader scientific field than being exclusively a human science? The question at issue is: Can modern neurobiology contribute to a development of the psychoanalytic concepts; compulsion to repeat, transference/countertransference and talking cure? The method used is a literature study. The result shows that: Freud?s theories regarding traumatic compulsion to repeat can be linked with LeDoux?s theory of "emotional memory".

Målet med projektet har varit att sammanföra information från flera olika källor till en enda vy i ett PC-program. I ett stridsfordon kan det till exempel vara intressant att presentera data från IR-kamera, dagsljuskamera, stridsledningssystem och/eller kartdatabas. Idag används olika vyer för att presentera dessa informationskällor. Om personalen i stridsfordonet istället kan delges allt detta via en enda vy så ökar deras möjlighet att fatta snabba korrekta beslut i kritiska situationer. Ett annat resultat kan bli att informationsmängden i datorbilden blir så stor att den till viss del minskar behovet av att inhämta omvärldsinformation via optiska utblickar, där synen kan skadas av fientlig laser.

The aim of this study was to describe how body language of humans affects the domestic dog (Canis familiaris) and how it can be implanted in the stressed situation that occur at an animal hospital. The subject is brought to notice because the author has experienced that dogs can get more stressed when a stressed and nervous owner is attending. Humans affect each other through posture, facial expression, voice and movement, and are often driven by their emotions, which can differentiate the verbal communication from the non-verbal communication. This occurs both consciously and unconsciously. Every human uses body language but not everyone knows how it is used or how to understand it.

Titeln på denna kandidatuppsats är Människa vs. Maskin. En ansats till självservice och är skriven av tre studenter inom magisterprogrammet för Service Management vid Lunds Universitet. Under ett fåtal månader har vi haft möjligheten att undersöka hur människor påverkas och berörs av teknologiska framsteg på en flygplats, närmare bestämt självservice och självcheck-in på Malmö Flygplats. Självservice har blivit allt vanligare under de senaste årtionden, inte minst inom resebranschen.
