AbstractAim of this project was to analyse signals and try to localize the position of source of sound. It is donewith three microphones which have 90 degrees angle to each other. Each microphone detects one partof the sound wave. The microphones are connected toan ADC which turns signals from analogue todigital shape. After that the three signals are Transformed to a computer.

Uppgiften var att utveckla en utrustning för mätning av lågfrekventa vibrationer i terränggående fordon. Utrustningen ska kunna samla in vibrationsdata, utföra frekvensanalys samt lagra resultatet på någon form av lagringsmedia. Till skillnad från nuvarande system ska denna utrustning kunna hanteras av maskinföraren, utan hjälp av mättekniker. Detta tillsammans med en stor lagringskapacitet medför att mätningar kan utföras under en längre tidsram än tidigare. Analys av mätningen underlättas genom att datat redan är färdigbehandlat vid mottagandet.

Following an increase in hostile foreign activity. The discussion regarding Sweden?s defense force´s ability to perform its task has come to a new heading. With the end of the cold war as a major revolution in matters of international security, a major overhaul has taken place to Transform the static total defense plan of the nation to a less rigid operational system.Following an analysis of the budgets total amount from the governments of 2002 until 2015 it is clear that while the amount of resources has never directly been lowered, it has shrunk in relation to the countries total GDP. The possible futures for the defense of Sweden bring three possibilities forward in correlation three unique perspectives on military and political policy.Out of the three possibilities the focus on military strength as a political resource seems to be garnering the most support with the latest incursions made my foreign submersibles and the ever growing presence of 5th generation of warfare.

Human presence has always influenced the surrounding areas, the forest as well. Structure and species composition have changed during human land use. Knowledge regarding these changes should be of great interest for conservation and forestry. We have analyzed human impact on the tree species composition on five study sites during 2000 years in Ångermanland, Sweden. More specifically the change in tree species composition in percentage amongst alder, birch, spruce and pine over time.

Library architecture today is a complicated history. Public libraries are no longer merely a place for book storage, but also a virtual library a social meeting place and a place for study. All these diverse tasks and roles emerge in the democratic designing process of a new library and also Transform into the architecture. The underlying process is the evaluation and negotiation of the libraries overall tasks and ideas, ideals and values. Multiple ideologies are incorporated in library architecture.

The county hospital of Dalarna has for the last couple of years carried through a process of digitalization. The result is that within the county it exists image plate systems from two different manufacturers. In an attempt to create a tool for dose optimization and dose surveillance the county of Dalarna would like to investigate if the exposure index from Agfa and Fuji is suitable as a dose indicator. An investigation of the exposure index, S, from Fuji has already been done. This thesis has been continuing the investigation by evaluating the stability of the exposure index, lgM, from Agfa.

This essay is about personal assistance for persons with considerable intellectual disabilities.The purpose with the study is: to examine personal assistance for individuals, who can`t speakfor themselves, to examine how the individuals can determine and get influence into theirassistance and how they can get help with it, to examine the role of an representative inrelation to the serviceuser´s assistance and examine if there are factors of gender in theinterviews.The chosen method is qualitative interviews.The interviews has been analysed through earlier research about personal assistance andtheoretical perspectives like: influence, integration and citizenship and discussed throughperspectives of social psychology.The main conclusions are: the influence the serviceusers can have is through persons whoknow them very well, the role of the representatives are indistinct, the serviceusers can´tdetermine their assistance themselves and need help with it from relatives, representatives,personal assistants and managers, the persons who know the serviceuser intimately are best toTransform the needs to assistance. The factors of gender, are that there are more men aspersonal assistants than in the care of elderly, and the representatives are mostly men. Thepersonal assistants appreciates the time they have for the serviceuser, the work can be lonelyand demanding..

This essay examine how temporal claims (past, present and future) are used in two Official Government Reports (SOU) in Sweden considering rape and sexual assault. The Official Government Reports constitute an important and particular system for long-term planning, and the reports are used as an instrument to achieve desirable changes within the nation. The temporal pretensions in SOU 1976:9 Sexual offences: proposed new wording of Penal provisions against virtue, and SOU 1982:61 Rape and other sexual assaults, are analyzed in relation to the concepts realization of the possible and actualization of the virtual, in order to see how the concepts correspond to the process of desirable change in the reports. The temporal claims are used in a spatially sense where space is assimilated to the concept of time which in return create notions of spatio-temporal images of the past, the present and the future. This is partly a problem for the reports in their aspiration to Transform old norms and create innovatory values and ideals..

Polykemi AB använder kontinuerligt FTIR-analys för materialidentifiering, felsökning och utveckling. Företaget har ett omfattande referensbibliotek med spektra för råvaror i form av polymerer, additiv, fyllmedel och förstärkningsmedel. Företaget köper rena polymerer som modifieras genom att polymer och fyllmedel blandas i en extruder och en plastsammansättning erhålls. Den praktiska delen av examensarbetet inleddes med upptagande av FTIR-spektrer från några av de termoplaster, additiv, fyllmedel och förstärkningsmedel som företaget använder. Slutligen upptogs spektrer från ett antal modifierade plaster. Dessa spektrer tolkades och de ingående ämnena identifierades. Två olika metoder har använts vid analyserna: filmteknik och diffus reflektans.

 Examensarbetsuppgiften har gått ut på att genomföra en prestandajämförelse mellan en hård och en mjuk processorkärna integrerad i en FPGA, i detta fall, en Virtex4 FX12 från Xilinx.System med de olika kärnorna har tagits fram, där antalet klockcykler för att genomföra olika beräkningar har mäts. Bland annat har algoritmen Fast Fourier Transform och dess invers beräknats för en vektor.De kärnor som har provats är den mjuka MicroBlaze framtagen av Xilinx samt den hårda PowerPC 405. Prestandan för systemet med mjuk kärna var 65 % av det med hård kärnaFörutom prestandamätningarna har en vidare teoretisk jämförelse mellan kärnorna genomförts. Utifrån den har slutsatsen dragits att när man behöver små volymer av FPGA-kretsar eller flera olika beräkningar skall göras är FPGAer med hård kärna att föredra. Om det är större volymer eller bara ett fåtal typer av beräkningar som skall utföras är en mjuk kärna mest fördelaktig, främst av ekonomiska skäl.

The Private Equity industry has over the past years been booming and major external environmental changes have made the industry Transform rapidly. Increased competition between Private Equity firms is one of the reasons why the industry has been and is being forced to focus more on addition of value through increased operational management. Consequently, the focus of value addition is by some said to be transferred away from deal making and financial skills, and into active operative management. This case study investigates how the portfolio management, and more specifically the measuring and management of performance, is carried out in a number of leading Swedish Private Equity funds with investments in the biotech sector. The biotech sector is characterized by extensive research and development, and many biotech companies often lack income and other measurable financial parameters in the initial phase.
