AbstractThe aim of this study is to analyze how the Swedish company VisitSweden and The Swedish institute creates an image of Sweden and what that image looks like? And also to compare their goals and their ways of present Sweden to find out how that contributes to the images of Sweden. The method for this analyze is chosen from the work and theories of Norman Fairclough called ?critical discourse analyze.? The analysis focuses on the text and how the text is created and if the author?s opinions are hidden in the words. The method can be applied in many ways.

Vi hade en skissuppgift i bo?rjan av kandidatprojektet, da?r vi skulle fundera o?ver va?r passion till arkitekturen. Min passion kan vara minnet av en byggnad, ett rum, da?r jag ka?nt ett sug i magen. Jag inspireras av film, teater, foto och konst.

In this thesis a transport system is sought after thatif realised in the city of Uppsala could provide bothwell-being to all its inhabitants and sustainability,here jointly refered to as liveability. It is found thatthe car dominated transport system that is inoperation today provides two fundamental values,namely accessibility in both time and space, whichsets it apart from other transport solutions. Thesetwo values are of immense importance for theliveability in our modern world. On the other handthe car dominated system decreases the liveabilityof Uppsala in several different ways. Some of theseproblems, it is argued, could be solved within thecar system, through the adoption of moreenvironmentally friendly cars etc., but otherproblems are inherent in the car system and willremain no matter what changes are made.

Målet med undersökningen är att utreda hur sju definierade stadskvaliteter ser ut i två bostadsområden i Uppsala och att undersöka om dessa kvaliteter på ett enkelt sätt kan mätas. Vidare diskuteras dess inverkan och framtida betydelse för de två områdena, och en generell diskussion om hur de sju stadskvaliteterna kan behandlas i stadsbyggnadssammanhang förs. I en rapport gjord i Stockholm visar resultaten att sju stadskvaliteter tydligare korrelerar med betalningsviljan för bostadsrätter än andra stadskvaliteter. Baserat på dessa sju attraktiva stadskvaliteter för boende undersöktes kvaliteternas förekomst genom platsbesök och analys av stadsdelarna Gottsunda och Kungsängen. Resultaten visar att Kungsängens centrala läge i Uppsala gör att tillgången till de sju stadskvaliteterna är högre än i Gottsunda.

This report will discuss principle, primary and finally manufacturing structure. We were asked to produce a 3D milling to processing the prototype material that is used on the University of Halmstad. From conceptual drawings to produce components for this project have we together with a number of company take developed the right components for this project. We have calculated and analyzed the construction to get the best result for it purpose. Unfortunately have the process to produce the 3D milling has been stopped because of deficient budget and time.

The aim of this master thesis is to study the students usage and experiences of the reference services at the university library at Linköping University. The four questions that I seek answers to are: - What kind of help do the students most often ask for at the reference desk? - To what extent do the students use the reference services for their studies? - What are the students experiences of the help they receive at the reference desk? - What are the students experiences of the treatment they receive from the librarians at the reference desk? I have studied literature that describes reference work and evaluation of reference work. I have also studied Christian Grönroos theory of service quality. I have distributed questionnaires to students at Linköping University.

The aim of this master's thesis is to describe the visibility of the university libraries in the strategic documents from the actual universities to which they belong. And also, the image of themselves they send out, are examined. By examining different kinds of descriptions we want to get a clearer picture of how and in what amount the libraries are mentioned in highest level strategies. By doing this we expect to find out the libraries' strategic role in higher education and research. The research questions are: What role and function are assigned to the university libraries in strategies created by the schools' highest administrative levels? How do the libraries present themselves in their own strategies? The approach is cross sectional and the time frame is year 2008.

Hur arbetar personalcheferna på akademiska sjukhuset i Uppsala för att motivera personalen?Problem: Det finns många teorier om vad som motiverar människor på arbetet, men i vilken utsträckning stämmer teorierna överens med motivationsarbetet på akademiska sjukhuset?Forskningsfråga: Hur arbetar personalcheferna på akademiska sjukhuset i Uppsala för att motivera personalen?Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur personalcheferna vid Akademiska sjukhuset i Uppsala tänker och arbetar kring arbetet med att motivera personal utifrån Herzbergs tvåfaktorteori.Avgränsningar: I uppsatsen bortses från alla övriga faktorer som kan antas ha betydelse för motivationsarbetet på en arbetsplats förutom de som beskrivs i Herzbergs (1993) tvåfaktorteori.Teori och modell: Uppsatsen utgår från Frederick Herzbergs bok The motivation to work.Metod: Enkät och intervjuundersökning.Resultat: I stort sett finns ett stöd och en medvetenhet för de faktorer Herzberg listar i The motivation to work bland undersökningens respondenter. Underbemanning samt organisationens storlek gör det dock svårt att bedriva ett aktivt motivationsarbete.Sökord: motivation, arbetsmotivation, organisation, motivationsarbete, Herzberg.

At the Division of Electricity at Uppsala University there is an experimental rig forhydroelectric generators. The experimental rig?s vital part is a 12-pole synchronousmachine, whose electrical characterizing parameters (resistances, inductances andtime constants) are unknown. The aim of this thesis is to characterize the machine inits current state by perform a Standstill Frequency Response (SSFR) test. From theanalysis of the measurement data, which is a part of the test, a set of basic parametershave been received.

Elite sport is becoming more professional, and elite athletes have to be more committed to spend several hours in training to achieve elite level and this means that the time to pursue a university academic career to the side of elite sport is minimized. Still only few elite athletes will be able to make a living of their sport. The objective of this study is to gain a better understanding of the opportunities and difficulties for a student who combines academic study with elite sport. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews with eight students studying at the University of Umeå, combining elite sport with academic studies. Results show that there are high demands on elite students to structure and plan for the combination of studies and elite sport.

Problem: Problemet för de kommunala verksamheterna är hur de ska få de tilldelade resurserna att räcka till för att tillfredsställa kommuninvånarnas behov. Under senare tid har man infört nya styrverktyg inom den kommunala verksamheten, ett av dessa är ABC-kalkylering. Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är att analysera varför Uppsala kommun inte fortsatte med ABC-kalkyleringen efter pilotstudien. Vi vill även reda ut om skolverksamheten skulle kunna använda sig av en ABC-kalkylering för att få en mer produktiv resursfördelning. Metod: Vi har valt att arbeta med skolverksamheten inom Uppsala kommun och ABC-kalkylering inom grundskolan.

The city of Uppsala and its surroundings are a very expansive area. A prerequisite for a sustainable development of the area is well-functioning supply of drinking water. In Uppsala municipality, the Uppsala esker and Vattholma esker are the groundwater storages for drinking water. Besides the eskers, other sources of qualitative groundwater in the Uppsala municipality are relatively poor and more than half of the area consists of ground conditions with a risk of saline groundwater. The neighbourhood of Vreta-Ytternäs is situated 10 km south of Uppsala, in the area with risk of saline groundwater but outside the municipal water supply.

The purpose of this degree project was to build laboratory equipment for a new course in power electronics that starts this autumn 2010 at Uppsala University. The equipment is intended for student labs and it covers the most important areas of the course including rectifying, buck-/boost-converters and PWM-modulation. It is built as one sealed unit where all the electronics are built-in but visible and it has a connection board where students safely can connect the different circuits. The project has advanced from theoretical studies of circuit design, choosing of components and simulations to drawing the printed circuit board (PCB), soldering, case building, final testing and troubleshooting - basically most steps from an early idea to a final product. Measurements on the final product gave about the same results as the earlier simulations of the circuits and the result is overall satisfying..

Title: Identity management on Facebook: a qualitative study in approaches to personal identity between two different age groups on the most public stage of our time (Identitetshantering på Facebook: En kvalitativ studie om förhållningssättet till den egna identiteten hos två olika åldersgrupper på vår tids mest offentliga scen).Number of pages: 43.Author: Isabelle Kåge.Tutor: Amelie Hössjer.Course: Media and Communication Studies C.Period: Fall Semester 2010.University: Division of Media and Communication, Department of Information Science, Uppsala University.Purpose/Aim: To identify differences in attitudes towards and management of personal identity onFacebook within two different age groups.Material/Method: Personal interviews, literature, electronic sources, Internet sources.Main results: Those in the younger age group present themselves differently depending on the person or persons with whom they are communicating. Those in the older age group however, present themselves in a more consequent matter based upon the visibility their actions have to all their friends on Facebook as a whole. The definitions of certain elements on Facebook, such as what constitutes private information or anexcess of photo-tags, differ between the two age groups. Comments and feedback differ in importance and effect between the two age groups. Those in the younger age group are more likely to modify their attitudes towards their identities based upon the functions of Facebook.
