This essay is an analysis of the objects made of bronze found in an excavation Västergarn parish, Gotland, in 2010, conducted by the University of Gotland. The studied material presented in this essay comes from contexts inside, as well as nearby the foundation of a medieval building which purpose is still not certain. The first purpose of this study is to present the bronze-objects found inside and nearby the foundation of house 6, and to see if there are any datable objects. There is also a discussion whether there has been any bronze-crafting in the area. The second purpose is to make a contextual analysis to see if there are any differences between the material found outside and inside of the building, and what conclusions can be made regarding the function and use of the building.

VikingGenetics is one of the world's largest breeding companies. 2008 was launched two new products, X-Vik and GenVik. Now VikingGenetics want to get information about the effects of the marketing. We have investigated the differences in knowledge and use of the products between different livestock associations, size of herd and farmers' breeding interests. The method used was by sending out a questionnaire by mail.

The aim of this master thesis is to analyze how and why Scandinavian-American history has been used in exhibitions in both Scandinavia and the United States after the end of the Great Migration. More specifically, the thesis deals with the Swedish and American exhibitions of the controversial Kensington Rune Stone, discovered in Minnesota in 1898. Despite the fact that its authenticity has been disputed by academic expertise, it has been displayed by many prominent actors. The Rune Stone is one of many purportedly pre-Columbian artifacts found in the United States. Moreover, it is an identity marker, harboring many kinds of identity constructions. The thesis therefore focuses on the meanings that the Rune Stone has been charged with since its discovery, as historical culture and in specific exhibits, on how it has been displayed, and on why it has been exhibited at  national museums in both Sweden and the United States. The principal source materials are five exhibitions of the Kensington Rune Stone.

This thesis studies settlement continuity on Gotland between approximately AD 200 and AD 1700. The method used is to calculate correlation between the geographical distribution of all known Iron Age stone-wall-houses (on Gotland known as "kämpagravar") and all farms included in the detailed taxation maps from approximately 1700. The number of remaining house foundations is between 1800 and 1900. A model to estimate the number of removed foundations is presented. It is based on the assumption that the settlement density was proportional to land use around 1700, and that the rate of removal is related to the current land use.

The essay has its beginning in the source material that deal with ancient Norse religion before the people in the Nordic countries became Christian. The fact that there are no contemporary written or authentic sources available that can tell us something about the Norse religion during the Viking age is problematic. Archeological source materials is available, but tend to talk more about power relationships and social status than the old Norse religion and the way people practiced their faith. Medieval Christian writers are a source of knowledge of the Norse religion; however, they can only highlight the Norse religion from a Christian point of view and ways of evaluating the pagan faith, making them less reliable.The written sources of this paper are based on the written by two medieval Christian writers, Saxo Grammaticus and Snorri Sturluson. These sources are among the first to treat the Norse religion process after the introduction of Christianity in Scandinavia.

Bakgrunden till denna uppsats var att undersöka på vilket sätt kan man utveckla en mobil applikation som motiverar användaren till bättre grundhälsa. Genom ett samspel mellan användaren och en mobil applikation, så stödjs användaren i att uppnå en bättre grundhälsa genom fysisk träning med hjälp av en Smartphone.Vår frågeställning blev därför: Hur skapar man en mobil applikation som motiverar till bättre grundhälsa? För att besvara detta har vi använt oss av teorier kring motivation, fysiologi och gränssnittsdesign. Vi har även använt metoder för att designa och skapa applikationen. De metoder som vi använt är följande: Designramverket skapad av Alan Cooper.

SammanfattningSyftet med detta arbete är att undersöka huruvida man på Viking Sewing Machines (VSM) skall sköta hanteringen av de symaskiner som företaget köper in från leverantörer i fjärran östern. Skall företaget inom egna lokaler sköta lagerhanteringen eller skall de fortsätta som i dagsläget med att företaget Schenker hanterar lagerhållningen?Det här är en intressant frågeställning men samtidigt en komplex sådan. Det finns flera aspekter att ta hänsyn till innan man kan komma till ett beslut. Det krävs ett grundligt arbete med prognosplanering, t.ex.
