During pre-slaughter handling of pigs the animals are often subjected to methods that induces stress and are a threat to the wellbeing of the animals, such as mixing of groups, loud noise and transportation. A new law will be implemented in 2006 in Sweden that prohibits mechanical noise exceeding 65 dB in abattoirs. The purpose of the research presented in this paper was to examine the effects of noise and transportation on pig behaviour. The activity and aggressiveness of the pigs were examined with behavioural studies during transportation and during three different noise levels: 55, 75 and 95 dB. Before the noise treatments took place the groups were mixed and half of them were transported for approximately 2 hours. In the study 432 pigs were used.

Huvudmålet med examensarbetet var att konstruera en utrustning för mätning samt loggning av dieselförbrukning på en buss. Det fanns dessutom en önskan att ett MOST-nätverk skulle konstrueras. Detta skulle användas på 2005 år Formula SAE-bil vid Luleå tekniska Universitet. Olika metoder diskuterades och arbetet resulterade i en prototyp som mäter och loggar både bränsleförbrukning och körsträcka på Luleå Lokaltrafiks bussar. Även ett mindre MOST-nätverk upprättades men med ett icke tillfredställande resultat..

This is an analysis of how the Swedish newspapers Dagens Nyheter and Aftonbladet and the English newspapers The Independent and The Guardian reported about the sexual molestation and rape charges that were alleged against the Wikileaks founder Julian Assange in August 2010. Through a critical discourse analysis, a theme- and proposition analysis and a process analysis this paper aims to investigate how the above mentioned newspapers create reality in their articles. The purpose is to shed light upon with what means the journalists through the inherited structures of the newspaper illustrate actions and events, how they let other people get visible in the text and who is described as responsible for current events.    The results of the analysis shows that Aftonbladet uses a relatively large amount of propositions and speech cues to create an image of the reality that is almost explicitly angled. Dagens Nyheter and The Independent claims a higher degree of objectivity and through micro themes with different perspectives and few explicit statements they create a reality with plenty of room for the reader to make her own conclusions. The Guardian creates an image of the world where the Wikileaks is a great force of democracy and where actions are performed by humans as well as by objects and organizations.   .

This paper examines interpellations made in the swedish Riksdag and how they are rhetorically structured to effect and hold government officials accountable in climate policy.?The analysis methodology applied is rhetorical analysis, which aims to identify rhetorical argumentative strategies in the opposition's interpellations between three different periods, 2015-2018, 2019-2022 and 2022-2025. These strategies are ethos, pathos and logos, they are used as glasses in which a rhetorical analysis is conducted on the material. The study reveals that the rhetorical strategies differ between the time periods and that the political rhetoric has become more value loaded over time.? .

Syftet med denna studie är att skapa ett underlag och sammanställning till vad som kan utgöra en utbildningsbok som kan följa elever som går transportteknisk inriktning av fordonsprogrammet i GY11.En elev som genomgår en gymnasial utbildning för att bli yrkeschaufför får, under förutsättning att eleven klarat av utbildningen och bedöms lämplig, med sig ett antal körkortsbehörigheter samt särskilda förarbevis eller yrkesbevis. Dessa olika körkort och bevis är nödvändiga för att eleven ska med laglig rätt få utöva sitt arbete efter genomgången utbildning. Det är också nödvändigt för att eleverna ska kunna möta branschens krav och för att de ska bli anställningsbara.I skolans vardag är dokumentation ett naturligt inslag och hur mycket den tar av lärarens tid är olika beroende på typ av utbildning. Det som står helt klart är att läraren måste dokumentera elevens olika framsteg. Undersökningens slutresultat strävar efter att få fram förslag till ett dokumentationssystem som kan hjälpa läraren i arbetet med dokumentation.Undersökningen genomfördes med hjälp av dokumentanalys som metod.

The aim of this Master's thesis is to analyze the relation between the discursive formation and the optical formation in the public library-apparatus. An ongoing individualization process in the library field and in society at large is used as a backdrop in the analysis. Discourse analysis is used as a method to explore the main Swedish library periodicals Biblioteksbladet, Bibliotek i Samhälle and DIK-forum. All issues from the years 1999 and 2009 have been used as material. The main analytical instruments applied in the analysis of this material are Michel Foucault's terms dispositive, apparatus and diagram.

The idea for the project emerged when Nilorn wanted to get better control over their supplychain and improve operational efficiency. The company also want to reduce their expenses inthe continuous process of improving profitability. By choosing the right option oftransportation and mode of transport there are large potential savings for the company. Thisenables Nilorn to reduce the transportation costs and strengthen the environmentalresponsibilities by reducing their environmental impact.The flow of goods within Nilorn has over the past years increased significantly and most ofthe gods today is transported by air. The aim of this thesis is to analyse the supply chain of thecompany and evaluate the potential economic savings in this area.

The purpose of this Masters thesis is to investigate if gender stereotypes are mediated to children between 0-3 years through books suitable for their age. This thesis concerns books that are available in public libraries. The content will be analysed by using a combination of methods, both content analysis of all the books in our study and a qualitative analysis of a smaller number of these books. With inspiration from both Robert Connell and Yvonne Hirdman and their theories of gender and gender stereotypes, this material was read and we wanted to examine if books for very young children might establish stereotypes. Our analysis showed that many known stereotypes are common in these books.

Denna uppsats unders?ker DRT-tj?nsten Teletaxi i Odense, Danmark f?r att se hur tj?nsten f?rh?ller sig till h?llbar mobilitet och socialt h?llbar tillg?nglighet. Vidare syftar studien till att unders?ka hur resm?nster hos de boende i omr?den med Teletaxi f?r?ndrats sedan implementeringen av tj?nsten. F? studier har gjorts om DRT-tj?nster i icke-urbana omr?den och de som gjorts utg?r ofta fr?n ett ekonomiskt eller milj?relaterat perspektiv, d?r de sociala aspekterna g?llande h?llbarhet inte tas i ?tanke.

Landstinget i Östergötland upphandlar sedan 2001 samtliga godstransporter från externa leverantörer. Detta examensarbete har som syfte att inför en kommande transportupphandling 2006 utreda behovet av godstransporter och hur kostnaderna för dessa transporter ska fördelas inom Landstinget i Östergötland. Målet var att förenkla existerande avtal och ta fram en lösning på hur förändringar av transportnätet ska kunna hanteras med minimal administrativ arbetsinsats. Lösningen skulle också innebära att landstingets kostnader kunde hållas låga.Studien har visat att det genom att standardisera transporttider går att förenkla transportavtalen avsevärt. Transportören erbjuds också större frihet att anpassa landstingets körningar till övriga uppdrag, vilket möjliggör lägre priser.

This study focuses on why people not longer want to be a part of a religious communion they have earlier been a part of. To examine this I have made seven interviews with people who have left their previous communions. Together with the methodological and theoretical discussions on discourse analysis, Richard Jenkins discussions on identity and theories concerning the post-modern society, I have made an analysis on how these people consider their previous communions and its members. They refer i.e. to the social control, the ?closed? culture and the non-questioning-culture that constitute the communions and its techniques.
