Destination marketing looks different from that of traditional marketing, since the product, in this case the destination, consists of several different parts compared to a good. A destination is marketed as a process where the consumption takes place at the same time as the production. Destination marketing organizations, DMO?s, are responsible for the marketing of a destination. Since destinations consist of several parts such as the train trip to the destination, restaurant visits, shopping, hotel stays etc., it is difficult for the DMO?s to fully control how a tourist perceive the destination.

This report describes the development of a high-voltage connector at the request of Scandinova Systems AB in Uppsala. The development process is described from the making of a customer demand specification, to the making of drawings for the manufacturing of prototypes. Scandinova develops high-voltage modulators, hence the need for connectors that can handle very large power pulses. Their current connector has several weaknesses that may cause the connector to melt or catch fire. The development began with a number of studies that included the modulator structure and the current connector structure and functions.

För att uppnÄ ett lÄngsiktigt hÄllbart samhÀlle stÀlls idag höga krav pÄ en miljömÀssigt och ekonomiskt hÄllbar utveckling. SamhÀllets expansion i form av nybyggnation Àr en stor del i detta. Genom att planera och bygga mer lÄngsiktigt hÄllbara byggnader sÄ kan dessa krav uppfyllas. Att skapa flexibla byggnader, som kan anpassas efter samhÀllets framtida behov, leder till en effektivisering av lokalutnyttjandet och genererar mer lÄngsiktigt hÄllbara byggnader. I Sverige Àr kommunerna landets största byggherrar och de har dÀrför ett stort ansvar att förse samhÀllet med fastigheter och dÄ framförallt offentliga lokaler.

Den hÀr rapporten avhandlar Kristin Charlie Torsdotters examensarbete i industriell design vid Högskolan pÄ Gotland. Examensarbetet gick ut pÄ att utforma foajén till det pÄbörjade bostadshuset SommarRo i Uppsala, samt en sittmöbel till foajén. Projektet genomfördes i samarbete med arkitekterna till bostadshuset, Arcum Arkitekter.Projektets tyngdpunk har legat pÄ att utforma en sittmöbel till foajén. Kravet pÄ möbeln var att den inte bara ska vara funktionell och tilltalande utan att den Àven ska fungera som en installation i rummet. Möbeln skall Àven binda samman foajén med den övriga byggnaden samtidigt som den ska ha ett tydligt samband med byggnadens överliggande tema: modern japansk design med inslag av skandinavisk samtida design.Arbetet har skett i enlighet med design metodikens olika faser.

The decomposition of organic carbon in drained peat soils is a major source of carbon di-oxide in Sweden. A big part of these drained peat soils are used in agriculture and it is a big challenge to slow down their decomposition. It has earlier been thought that less tilling and higher water table levels would decrease the activity of soil microbes and thereby the decomposition, but recent experiments has showed that this has little or no effect. In this bachelor thesis a field experiment was made on drained peat soil with ley, outside Björklinge, Uppsala municipality, Sweden. The experiment was carried out in May 2011. The objective was to develop a method to examine how the net exchange of carbon diox-ide from plant covered peat soil is affected by temperature and photosynthetically active radiation (PAR).

The aim of the study is to elucidate and analyze newcomer studentsÂŽ experiences of the Language Introduction Program, in more detail, how the students describe their time at the program and how experiences could differ between girls and boys. Finally, the study examines how the program, according to the students, can be significant for their future. The analysis of the studentsÂŽ dictums is based on the perspective of intercultural education. To answer the studyÂŽs aim and research questions, the investigation consists of eight semi-structured interviews with students who are studying at the Language Introduction Program at an upper secondary school in Uppsala.The results show that the main advantages with studying at the Language Introduction Program are, according to the students, that they learn the Swedish language and that they meet students with several cultural backgrounds. The main disadvantages that were noted were that the Language Introduction Program takes a long time to finish, and furthermore, the contact with the students at the other programs at the school is not enough.

This report, written by Ma?ns Ridze?n and Jonas Stenberg, presents the thesis carried out the spring of 2012. The authors met the first time in 2008, when they started their studies at Uppsala University. Since then they have completed various projects, both within and without the university. This study is based on a theory that was first conceived when Jonas Stenberg did his internship in the summer of 2010.

I denna studie har insamling av referensdata över sprĂ„kförstĂ„else hos treĂ„ringar med typisk sprĂ„kutveckling genomförts. Till detta har bedömningsmaterialet SofialĂ„dan (Westerlund & Öfverholm-Engström, 1995) anvĂ€nts. SofialĂ„dan bygger som flera andra sprĂ„kförstĂ„elsematerial pĂ„ den s.k. act-outmetoden dĂ€r man lĂ„ter barnet agera med föremĂ„l efter en given instruktion. Med hjĂ€lp av föremĂ„len i SofialĂ„dan bedöms barnets förmĂ„ga att identifiera grundfĂ€rger och storleksbegrepp, kategorisera, flytta föremĂ„lenligt olika prepositionsanvisningar samt att följa flerledade instruktioner.

Objectives: The purpose of the study was to examine if a pre- and post-operative difference could be seen in self-reported pain disability and self-efficacy among patients undergoing surgery as treatment for spinal disc herniation in order to improve process of rehabilitation.Method: A quantitative and descriptive design was used. 10 patients awaiting surgical treatment for spinal disc herniation were included at Akademiska sjukhuset (The Academic Hospital) in Uppsala. Participation was voluntary and the selection was made by convenience. Data was collected using The Pain Disability Index and Self-Efficacy Scale by which the patient would estimate how hindered they felt because of their pain in everyday activities and their self-efficacy to perform everyday activities. This was done the day before surgery and two weeks after surgery.

NederbördsmÀtning Àr viktigt inom mÄnga omrÄden och en relativt ny teknik Àr enoptisk distrometer som med hjÀlp av laserteknik mÀter nederbördspartiklarnasdroppstorlek och fallhastighet. Syftet med detta arbete var att undersöka hur vÀlThies distrometer stÀmmer överens med nederbördsmÀtning frÄn ett vippkÀrl ochmanuella mÀtningar frÄn institutionen för geovetenskaper vid Uppsala universitet.Institutionen för geovetenskaper övervÀger att gÄ över till denna teknik och dÀrmedbehövdes distrometern utvÀrderas för olika faktorer som kan pÄverka instrumentet.Vid jÀmförelse mellan instrumenten visade det sig att distrometern totalt sett samladein mer nederbörd Àn de andra mÀtarna. Det Àr svÄrt att avgöra vad skillnaden mellaninstrumenten kan bero pÄ men felkÀllor sÄ som avdunstning och vÀtning hos vippkÀrletoch manuella mÀtningar kan ge mindre nederbörd. En annan orsak kan varafelkalibrering av datan frÄn distrometern. Inga samband hittades för vindhastighet,vindriktning och typ av nederbörd mellan de tre instrumenten.En vidare undersökning gjordes för droppstorleksfördelningen för att ge exempelpÄ fördelar med en distrometer.

The purpose of this master?s thesis is to study resource allocation among district libraries within Stockholm?s City Library (SSB) on three different occasions ? 1996, 2001 and 2005 ? and to examine whether there exist any inconsistency between the state of the allocation of resources and what might be considered reasonable. During the course of the study, it became apparent that some measurements are more relevant than others when determining whether the allocation of resources is reasonably fair. The most relevant ratio is the share of net cost per capita in relation to population and the population?s composition of children, youngsters and persons with foreign background as a result of relevant political governing documents giving priority to these three groups.
