In order to measure the quality of the logs, one can with help of Fast Fourier Transform technique get the signals resonance peaks. With help of these peaks you can see whether the quality of a tree is good or bad. This report contains the work of a where a program has been developed to be able to process a vibration created by an automatic hammer hitting on a log of wood. From the processed signal the program should be able to show both the raw wavesignal and the processed measured data from the resonance peaks. Beyond the raw wavesignal and resonance peaks the program should also be able to control the automatic hammer.

Who is integrating school-holiday home? It is for the teachers, recreational pedagogue or the students? How do the students think and act to keep the different activities apart?My purpose was to study how children sort the day between school and recreational home interactions. The issues were: How do they distinguish between the different activities during the day?  See the students their stay after school program as part of the school day? Who decides whether you have to go to school, and whether you have to go to after school program? And do you really have to?I have interviewed six students at an elementary school, based from a phenomenographic perspective, I've used myself of issues that students have been able to respond from a school perspective and after-school perspective. My interview questions have been comparative in nature, where the same question have given different answers depending on whether the question focused on school or the afterschool program.

I denna studie undersöker vi företagshälsovårdsanställdas uppfattningar om samtal som metod i stressförebyggande arbete. Tidigare forskning visar bland annat i vilka situationer som stress kan uppstå, vilka negativa konsekvenser stress kan ha och varför det är viktigt att förebygga- och inte bara behandla stress. Största delen av tidigare forskning som gjorts tycks handla om olika metoder för att behandla stress, därför fokuserar vi i denna studie på hur samtalet kan användas i förebyggande arbete. Genom att intervjua sex personer som alla arbetar med företagshälsovård har vi fått ett resultat som visar att samtalet är en bra metod att använda i stressförebyggande arbete..

Nolén, Kristina (2015). Ingen står i kö direkt! Skolpersonals upplevelse av arbetsrelaterad stress i undervisningen av elever med autism och utvecklingsstörning. (There are no takers! School Staffs Experience of Work Related Stress in Teaching Pupils with Autism and Learning Disability). Speciallärarprogrammet, Skolutveckling och ledarskap, Lärande och samhälle, Malmö högskola Problemområdet för föreliggande examensarbete är skolpersonals upplevelse av arbetsrelaterad stress i undervisningen av elever med autismspektrum och utvecklingsstörning. Studiens syfte är att bidra med kunskap om arbetsrelaterad stress i undervisningen av elever med autismspektrum och utvecklingsstörning genom att beskriva, tolka och förstå skolpersonals upplevelser samt organisationen av det specialpedagogiska arbetet vid några grundsär- och gymnasiesärskolor. De preciserade frågeställningarna är följande: Vilka upplevelser av stress uttrycks av skolpersonal?, Hur påverkar relationella aspekter skolpersonalens upplevelse av stress i undervisningen?, Vilket stöd finns och vilket stöd efterfrågar skolpersonalen? samt hur upplever skolpersonalen att undervisningen och relationen till eleverna påverkas av arbetsrelaterad stress? Bakgrunden till studien ligger i bland annat studier av Greene et al (2002) och Kokkinos och Davazoglou (2009).

???This study has been made with the purpose of gaining an understanding of how a Swedish company may think and act concerning their internal control. An American body, COSO, have for some time published documents containing guidelines for how companies should go about this process, however, when conducting this study we were not aware of the extent to which companies in Europe and mainly Sweden used them. In order to learn about this, and also to gain an understanding of when these guidelines are appropriate, we conducted a case study with a large-sized, multinational Swedish company. We also conducted an interview with an expert in internal control monitoring, Anna-Clara af Ekenstam of Pricewaterhouse Coopers, in order to get the perspective of the evaluators in this process and to gain some insight as to whether our case is typical in Sweden or not. We found that our company disregards certain aspects of internal control condoned by COSO, while performing better on other dimensions.

This paper investigates and explains the existence of different governance structures in the Swedish film industry. Using a theoretical framework of transaction cost economics, it is shown that trust follows from frequent production projects, affecting the distributors? control of producers, cinemas, video retailers and television. Control becomes more flexible, informal and less time consuming. Furthermore, the control of the distributors? relationship with television and cinemas proves to be multidimensional and affected by transaction activities, as well as by demands from previous parties in the value chain.

Stress och stressrelaterade sjukdomar har blivit ett allt vanligare problem i Sverige och i övriga världen. Det diskuteras om att de största anledningarna till denna ökning bland annat skulle kunna vara de ökade kraven på arbetsplatsen samt andra arbetsrelaterade orsaker så som omorganisationer och nedskärningar. Ett flertal studier har gjorts som visar positiva samband mellan människors fysiska aktivitet och deras självupplevda stress genom att sänka stressnivåerna i kroppen. Syftet med denna studie är därför att undersöka sambanden mellan människors självupplevda stress och utövande av fysisk aktivitet för att se om det finns några skillnader i ålder, typ av fysisk aktivitet samt frekvensen av denna aktivitet. Studien som utfördes var kvantitativ och genomfördes i form av en enkätundersökning som innehöll frågor angående personens bakgrund, fysiska aktivitet samt självupplevda stress.Genom studien framkom det att en högre frekvens av fysisk aktivitet visar samband med lägre upplevelse av stress.

This is a study about employment officers at the Swedish public employment service. The aim of this study was to examine how they understand and use their discretion in their daily work. We used a qualitative method and the data was gathered by semi-structured interviews with eight employment officers working at the same office in a small town in Sweden. Lipskys theory about street-level bureaucracy and Lazarus description of coping theory are applied to analyze the empirical data. The work for the Swedish employment officers have changed over the last years with an increasing focus on control and administration.

The aim of this thesis is to study whether social welfare secretaries experience occupational pride and what affects this feeling. Previously made research indicate that occupational pride is essential for performance and work-related health. Research has also shown that social welfare secretaries often experience unhealthiness due to working conditions and a lack of professional self-esteem.This thesis is based on four qualitative interviews which have focused especially on critical incidents, according to the critical incident technique. This study has a hermeneutic, interpretative approach. As a theoretical framework, Pierre Bourdieu? s theory on social space and positions aswell as Aaron Antonovsky´s theory on Sence of coherence have been used. The result shows that the interviewed social welfare secretaries do experience occupational pride.

Franchise theorists have to a large extent failed to keep up with the actual development in global franchise chains. The recent emergence of fast growing multi-unit-franchisees has fundamentally been ignored, and it has been claimed that the new phenomenon can be regarded as a mere replication of the franchisors? structure and control system into sub hierarchies. This study however, suggests that the reality is more complex. Through conducting case studies of two Nordic multi-unit-franchisees, new theories are built explaining how and why control systems are designed the way they are.

In order to measure the quality of the logs, one can with help of Fast Fourier Transform technique get the signals resonance peaks. With help of these peaks you can see whether the quality of a tree is good or bad. This report contains the work of a where a program has been developed to be able to process a vibration created by an automatic hammer hitting on a log of wood. From the processed signal the program should be able to show both the raw wavesignal and the processed measured data from the resonance peaks. Beyond the raw wavesignal and resonance peaks the program should also be able to control the automatic hammer.

BackgroundThere are different organizational structures and control and it has been proved difficult to find a combination between these that leads to goal congruence and improved efficiency. An organization can be structured according to hierarchical levels and the decision making can be either centralized or decentralized. Organizational control can be classified according to the amount of rules and balanced scorecard can be used to weld together the structure with the control.PurposeThe purpose is to create an understanding of how two types of structures and control in an organization appears and also to investigate how these differ from one another concerning the balanced scorecard as a control system. We will also investigate how the variables goal congruence and efficiency are affected by the implementation of the balanced scorecard.MethodTo answer the purpose of this thesis we have mainly used the qualitative method since we have studied two organizations thoroughly through interviews on different levels of the organization. The study also has some quantitative elements since we wanted to get a more truthful picture of the organizations.
