This thesis project was performed in collaboration with Scania CV AB’s cab factory in Oskarshamn, Sweden, and the objective was to accomplish a product development process regarding a new assembly skid from an ergonomic perspective. A great number of aspects had to be noticed and evaluated, both regarding the process the skid is aiming to support and the product it concerns. The focus was the func
The purpose of this study was to illustrate and examine how social workers professional identity shapes and maintains when they work in an arena where social work is not in focus. We used a qualitative method. Semi-structured interviews were conducted using an interview guide. We interviewed nine professional social workers who works in three different field - probation, hospital and school. Profe
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: I en mosse i södra Sverige, som heter Viss mosse, har fynd av trädstammar gjorts. Fynden gäller ek, bok och al. Denna horisont med trädstammar tyder på att miljön på mossen var förhållandevis torr när träden levde, eftersom det normalt sett är för blött på en mosse för att ekar och bokar ska kunna växa där. Kol-14-dateringar visar att träden dog för cirka 3 200 Findings of a tree stump horizon in Viss mosse, a raised bog in Scania, southern Sweden, indicate relatively dry conditions on the bog during the lifetime of the trees . 14C-datings show that the trees died about 3 200 years ago. Four peat cores were collected from the bog in order to investigate whether climatically induced water level fluctuations were responsible for establishemt and death of t
Internal migration has become debatable issue in China, since there are more and more migrant workers after social economic reform. Those migrant workers, attracted by better job opportunities in cities, have made great contribution for urban areas; but at the meantime they are suffering from restrictions caused by household system. In this thesis the main purpose is to figure out the links betwee
The development of new technologies, the new scientific initiatives and the new global market are giving rise to new models of collaboration. One of these models is ‘Mass Collaboration’ which is based on Web 2.0 technologies and services. To date, this model has been researched from a strategy perspective and no existing research perspectives are addressing how this model of collaboration can be m
There has been an increasing interest for ranking of Swedish health care and a lot of emphasis has been placed on the creation of indicators in order to rank hospital units. However, essays on to what extent the choice of statistical method affects the final result of the ranking of health care units have not been given the same attention. For this particular reason, the main objective of this ess
The aim of this study is to analyze the construction of "Christian masculinity" during the modern era. This is made in opposition to earlier research that has claimed that masculinity could not be constructed religiously, that is, without at the same time being constructed as effeminate or anti-masculine. Using a wide variety of theoretical concepts - such as discourse analysis, class,
The Dominican Republic is a small open economy, highly dependent on trade for its economic growth. During the past decades, the country has taken major steps to liberalize its trade regimes. As a consequence revenues from import duties and tariffs have fallen sharply. This has put an immediate pressure on the country to reform its tax system in order to increase revenue from domestic sources to co
Ett av syftena med denna uppsats är att undersöka tre olika metoder att använda satellitdata för detektering av stormskador i skog. Undersökningen är gjord i Kronobergs län som drabbades hårt av stormen Gudrun den 8 – 9 januari 2005. Ett andra syfte undersöktes vilka variabler, förutom vind, som påverkat den spatiala spridningen av stormskador. De variabler som undersökts är; Höjd över havet, slut

By ratifying ILO Conventions, ILO Member States undertake to bring national legislation and practice into full compliance with these international labour instruments. However, the question remains whether the countries actually implement their international commitments. The assessment of national compliance with the ratified ILO Standards may help to find out the good practices to be followed by
The purpose of this work is to do an investigation on the customers in the pharmaceutical sector; mainly general physicians who have taken part in the education events have any impact in their prescription behaviour after the participation in the program. The settings for this study are general practitioners in the Swedish market who have taken part in the education program held by Novo Nordisk in
In this study, I investigate different ways in which sexuality education can be carried out. The study focuses on different pedagogical approaches towards sexuality education within the Swedish Association for Sexuality Education, RFSU. More specifically, two local branches of RFSU (RFSU Malmö and RFSU Stockholm), with different methods of teaching matters of sexuality, are examined. The study is
The English present perfect and simple future tenses are felicitous with the living, but not the dead, as a referent must exist at reference time. In contrast, the simple past is odd with living referents in out-of-the-blue statements, as it requires a specified or implied past reference time. We employed eye-tracking during reading (Experiment 1) and self-paced reading (Experiments 2 and 3) in or
Dataharmonisering är en förutsättning för smarta städer, för ett mer effektivt informationsflöde i samhällsbyggnadsprocessen och för många andra tillämpningar i en stadsmiljö. Vid ett bästa tänkbart scenario kommer dataharmonisering att resultera i ett digitalt informationsflöde som inkluderar information från ett objekts hela livscykel, till exempel för byggnader, vägar och tunnlar. Alla aktörer Data harmonisation is a prerequisite for smart cities, for a more efficient information flow in the planning and building process and for many applications in the urban environment. Ideally, data harmonisation will result in a digital information flow that include information from the whole lifecycle of a feature, for example for buildings, roads and tunnels. All actors and applications involved i
Extreme environments (high and low temperature, high and low pH, etc.) are inhabited by a vast and diverse flora of microorganisms, which are adapted to these environments (extremophiles). The enzymes produced by extremophiles are active under these harsh conditions and are thus applicable in processes, where conditions are outside the working range of enzymes originating from mesophiles. In this
