Abstract:
Obiettivo: Nelle ricerche sui consumi di sostanze psicotrope, solitamente il contesto viene trattato come un prodotto di processi strutturali più ampi, riducendo le possibilità di una comprensione più accurata delle specificità locali. Durante il lavoro sul campo (2017-2018), Milano Rogoredo veniva considerata la più grande scena aperta del consumo osservabile nel nord Italia. L’obiettivo della ricerca è quello di documentare come il contesto in esame viene influenzato dalle pratiche di consumo e viceversa. Metodologia: La ricerca si serve della metodologia del caso studio per raccogliere e mettere in dialogo diversi tipi di informazioni. L’approccio etnografico utilizzato include interviste in profondità e semi strutturate (42), osservazione partecipante (70 giorni), articoli di cronaca, mappe e fotografie. La cornice teorica post-strutturalista, si basa sugli elementi analitici proposti da Duff (2007): spazio, incorporamento e pratiche. Risultati: La scena aperta del consumo di Rogoredo si configura come un luogo di segregazione socio-spaziale. Le pratiche di consumo che la caratterizzano, creano uno spazio di resistenza nella città tossica. Il disordine droga-correlato percepito dai cittadini porta alla richiesta di purificazione sociale e spaziale. La zona di resistenza che si configura nella scena aperta del consumo fa emergere di legami di comunità e favorisce la diffusione di pratiche di consumo, che richiedono competenze specifiche. La tecnologia della siringa riproduce mondi e divisioni sociali, così come differenze generazionali. La violenza permea le routine e le pratiche quotidiane, che includono lavoro sessuale droga correlato e attività informali di sussistenza. La mancanza di interventi di riduzione del danno strutturati e duraturi riduce lo spazio per negoziare questa violenza. Limiti/implicazioni: I risultati sono specifici del contesto in cui lo studio è stato condotto. I contatti e le informazioni sono stati raccolti in buona parte attraverso gli interventi di riduzione del danno (gatekeeeper). Considerata la strategia di reclutamento adottata, i consumatori non possono essere considerati come rappresentativi della popolazione di riferimento. Valore aggiunto: Nonostante un’ampia letteratura internazionale, l’Italia mostra una mancanza di studi sociologici sulle scene aperte del consumo, in particolare per quanto riguarda l’impatto del contesto sulle pratiche locali di consumo. I risultati possono orientare strategie di riduzione del danno più efficaci e fornire delle evidenze iniziali sull’impatto delle misure istituzionali adottate per far fronte alle scene aperte. La ricerca si propone anche come riferimento per future indagini sulle pratiche di consumo di sostanze psicotrope in relazione al contesto.
Purpose: In most recent drug research, context is still treated as a product of broad structural processes, reducing the chances for a more finely-grained understanding of time and place of consumption. At the time of the field work, Milano Rogoredo was the biggest urban open drug scene in northern Italy. Starting form this case study, the goal of the present work is to document how the specific context is produced through the activity of drug use and how the so constructed context intervenes in the modulation of drug use itself. Methodology: In the research, the case study methodology is implied in order to collect and put into dialogue data of different nature. Analysis was conducted through an ethnographic approach which includes in-depth and semi-structured interviews (42), participant observation (70 days), news articles and use of maps and photos. Drawing on a post-structural theoretical framework, the methodology is based on the analytical elements proposed by Duff (2007): space, embodiment and practices. Findings: Drug use practices embedded in the Milano Rogoredo open drug scene impact on space representations creating a place of resistance in the narcotic city. The so-called drug related nuisance tends to result in a claim for social and spatial purification from citizens. The resistance zone that develops within the open drug scene allows the emergence of community bonds and fosters the spread of drug use practices that involve specific skills. The social object of the syringe reproduces social worlds, social divisions and generational differences. Violence permeates the every-day routines and practices which include drug related sex work and beggary. The lack of structured harm reduction interventions reduces the space to negotiate this violence. Research limitations/implications: The results are specific of the context in which the study was conducted. Contacts and data were mainly gained starting from harm reduction interventions, since these organisations provide the most accessible contact with drug users. Given the recruitment strategy adopted, individuals who are part of the study cannot be considered as representative of the drug using population as a whole. Value/practical implications: Despite a wide international literature, Italy shows a lack of sociological accounts of open drug scenes, particularly regarding the impact of context on local drug use practices. This research gives visibility to the effect of the local setting on drug use practices in a long-lasting ODS in Milan (Italy). In the effort to make interventions always more effective, results can orient harm reduction strategies and provide initial evidence on the impact of institutional measures to face ODS. Along with punctual aspects, outcomes can also orient future research on drug consumption practices and context relevance in drug use settings.

Abstract:
This report is a summary and a discussion of several studies, that havebeen carried out within the SYO-project (syo=educational and vocationalguidance). The SYO-project, financed by the National Board of Education,has two major sources of information concerning the description andanalyses of (1) the content of syo and (2) different persons' conceptionsand notions of education, work, and choice of education and profession.The aim of this work is to investigate pupils in grade 7-9 regardingtheir actual choices and the particular conditions, that could influencethose choices e.g. the importance of the family and the syo. In theframework for conducting this study, some assumptions are made aboutthe role of school and syo. The pupils' choices and the conditions underwhich they occur, are examined from a societal, educational andindividual perspective. Furthermore, a model is developed to illustratehow pupils' conceptions and notions are formed. Both extensive andintensive studies have been executed, using parents, pupils, teachers andcounsellors. The data have been collected primarily from individualinterviews and questionnaires. The results have been published in sevenreports, nos. 4-10 in Pedagogiska rapporter/Educational reports.Department of Education, University of Umeå (in Swedish). The resultsdemonstrate, that the pupils choices of education and profession arestrongly related to sex and social class. Only their choices of educationseem to be stable. However, when they change, the differences betweensex and social class tend to be even larger. The influences from parentsand school coincides so as to support the pupils* conceptions and notionsof education, work, and educational and vocational choices, which arebased on an individual perspective. In contrast, there can also be a breakin the ideological transmission, such that, for example, the pupils1conceptions of work may reflect more of the parents' influences thanthe schools1. Different conditions of importance for the work of syo, inaccordance with official goals, are not fulfilled. Thus, the integrationof syo does not exist. For example, the number of pupils seems too largeand the expectations of teachers and other persons in the school,concerning syo, are quite different from those of the counsellors. Finally,a few limitations and the principal results of the work are discussedalong with suggestions for further research. The results concern, interalia, the socially based differences in knowledge between parents andpupils. These differences mean, in essence, that a basic condition forrational choice is not fulfilled. Furthermore, the role of syo as a sortingmechanism in the process of social reproduction is deemphasized. Instead,its legitimizing function appears as more important.

Abstract:
Den longitudinella Betula-studien studerar relationen mellan minne och åldrande. Denna studie undersöker, med hjälp av givet data, om det finns skillnad mellan de individer som föll bort och de som återkom, samt vilka egenskaper som kan ha påverkat bortfallet. Datamaterialet är uppbyggt på ett stickprov av 176 deltagare från Betulas femte undersökningstillfälle, varav 70 individer var bortfall, de som ej deltog vid det sjätte undersökningstillfället, medan 106 individer återkom. Med hjälp av Little ́s MCAR-test framkom bevis för att kunna förkasta att data från det sjätte tillfället saknades slumpmässigt. Detta pekade på att bortfallet var påverkad av faktorer i antingen det givna eller icke-existerande datamaterialet. Sedan användes klassificeringsmetoder logistisk regression och random forest för att undersöka vilka faktorer, från det givna datamaterialet, som kan ha påverkat utfallet. Resultaten från den logistiska regressionsmodellen visade på att män hade större odds att falla bort från studien än kvinnor och att högre poäng på tester som undersöker episodiskt minne och bearbetningshastighet minskade oddset. Resultatet från analys med random forest pekade på att de som föll bort och de som återkom skiljde sig åt i variabeln volymen av grå substans i hippocampus samt i fyra kognitionstester. Två av testerna, som undersöker episodiskt minne och bearbetningshastighet, visade betydelse med båda modellerna. Testresultat från block design och ordflöde visade sig endast ha betydelse med random forest.

Abstract:
Complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus are one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality around the world. Diabetic foot infections remain one of the major complications leading to a leg loss every 3 seconds due to amputations causing mental trauma and distress. In diabetic foot ulcers aerobes, anaerobes and fungus often interact with each other and form biofilms which is difficult to treat, enhancing antimicrobial resistance and lead to a non-healing ulcer. Co-existing peripheral vascular disease and neuropathy exacerbate the problems. In T2DM patients’ minor cuts and wounds, often lead to hard to treat and chronic ulcers which can worsen to gangrene formation which may lead to osteomyelitis compromising the mechanics of the foot. It is necessary to identify the virulence factors of these clinically significant microbes and to identify the resistance patterns regularly to limit the antibiotic usage and target to the specific organisms. A Cohort studies were carried out in India and in the UK to identify the risk factors among the diabetic foot patients along with their microbial aetiology and antibiotic resistance patterns from the tissue and pus samples. This part of the research has shown the presence of mixed cultures mainly from the Indian diabetic foot ulcer specimens with higher percentages of anaerobes than aerobes. Multi-drug resistant organisms were one of the peculiar characteristics of the diabetic foot ulcer profiles of Indian patients. As compared to the Indian patients, UK patients had few resistant organisms and the patients admitted to hospitals in India were at the last stage of foot ulcers whereas in the UK, surveillance and preventative strategies allow early detection and intervention. Currently there is a lack of rapid, robust and an inexpensive diagnostic method for the rapid typing and identification of clinically significant anaerobes. Another part of the research focussed on utilising the glycan-lectin interactions by developing a simple enzyme linked lectin sorbent assay by employing biotinylated lectins to develop to an enzyme linked lectin sorbent assay (ELLA) on whole cells, Proteinase K treated cells and glycolipids of clinically significant aerobes and anaerobes. This study is concluded by utilising the glycan-lectin interactions and to develop a rapid typing method for clinically significant Methicillin resistant and sensitive Staphylococcus aureus and epidermidis species. The rapid identification of anaerobes and typing of Peptostreptococcus species was also by facilitated by the developed ELLA method. Finegoldia magna is one of the most significant anaerobes from soft tissue infections and the Gas Chromatography – mass spectrometry (GC-MS) of the glycolipids of Finegoldia magna on composition analysis using show the presence of sialic acid which could be involved in pathogenesis. This sugar may be one of virulence factor employed by this organism in either attachment to the host or to other organisms.

Abstract:

Syftet med denna studie är att försöka reda ut hur utomhuspedagogiken används bland pedagoger på grundskolan. Vi vill ta reda på vilka uppfattningar pedagoger uttrycker kring utomhuspedagogik samt vilka syften och mål pedagogerna har med att undervisa ute.

Undersökningens resultat grundar sig på en kvalitativ studie där vi har tillämpat halvstrukturerade intervjuer på åtta pedagoger.

Undersökningen är även gjord på tre olika skolor i Sverige med olika socioekonomiska förutsättningar och olika fysiska miljöer.

Arbetet resulterade i att vi kom fram till att utomhuspedagogiken används bland pedagoger men dock väldigt sällan.

Syftet med utomhuspedagogiken bland pedagogerna har teoretiska utgångspunkter, de är alltså väl medvetna om hur metoden kan stimulera barns utveckling.

Något som framkom var att pedagogerna upplever mycket problematik kring utomhuspedagogiken vilket skapar ett stort glapp mellan teori och praktik.


The purpose of this thesis is to investigate and explain how outdoor pedagogy as a way of education is used by teachers in the elementary school. We want to find out what educationalists’ opinions are about outdoor pedagogy and what purposes and goals they think are associated with outdoor education.

The results of the investigation are based on a qualitative study where we have used semi-structured interview forms on eight elementary teachers. The studies were conducted at three different schools in Sweden with varying socio-economical and physical conditions.

In the thesis we concluded that outdoor pedagogy is being put into practice by many educationalists, but very rarely. The purpose of outdoor education among the teachers has a theoretic ground, which means that they are indeed aware of how the specific method can stimulate children’s development. Additionally the study showed us that teachers associate outdoor pedagogy with many inconveniences and problems, thus there is a big discrepancy between theory and practice.

Abstract:
Syftet med detta examensarbete är att kartlägga olika faktorer som påverkar elevers möjligheter att gå vidare inom utbildningsväsendet från språkintroduktionsprogrammet, samt vilka förutsättningar dessa faktorer tillsammans skapar för studieframgång hos elever.  En kvalitativ forskningsstrategi användes där fem lärare och tre studievägledare från olika gymnasieskolor i Sverige intervjuades om sin uppfattning kring studiens ämne. Resultatet visar att utifrån de förutsättningar skolorna har idag är det svårt för elever att ta sig vidare till fortsatta studier med individuell studieplan som stöd. Mottagande och kartläggning av nya elever skiljer sig åt på respondenternas skolor, vilket antyder att en likvärdighet kring språkintroduktionsprogrammets organisation saknas. Detta blir även synligt i den individuella studieplanen som inte i tillräckligt stor utsträckning används som ett levande dokument som kontinuerligt utvärderas och revideras. Slutsatsen tyder på att utifrån programmets utformning som det ser ut idag är det svårt att tillgodose varje enskild elevs behov och bedriva en organisation där undervisning individanpassas, vilket kan ha en avgörande betydelse för elevens möjligheter att gå vidare inom utbildningsväsendet.

Abstract:
Det saknas idag resultat inom forskning som kan urskilja en klassificeringsmetod som konsekvent presterar bättre än övriga, vilken metod som presterar bäst beror mer på datats karaktäristika än själva metoden. Samtidigt är klassificering ett viktigt och användbart verktyg som används inom flera områden, bland annat medicin där klassificeringsmetoder används i stor utsträckning och resultaten av klassificering kan vara livsavgörande. Det har i tidigare studier visats att kognitiva tester från Betula-studien har signifikant samband med insjuknande i demens upp till 10 år innan klinisk demens bekräftats. Det finns dock inget dokumenterat försök att prediktera demens genom klassificering med kognitiva data från Betula-studien. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur tre olika etablerade klassificeringsmetoder, linjär diskriminantanalys, support vector machines, med polynom och radial kärna, samt gradient tree boosting presterar på ett datamaterial med tre klasser. Data kommer från Betula-studien och består av kognitiva minnestester och persondata, klasserna bestäms utifrån hur många år efter inkludering i studien en deltagare blir diagnostiserad med klinisk demens. Klass 1 utvecklade inte demens, klass 2 utvecklade demens mellan 11 och 21 år och klass 3 mellan 1 och 10 år. Eftersom fördelningen av klasserna är obalanserade, klass 1 består av ca 85% av alla observationer, undersöks även en balanserad version av datamaterialet. Resultaten visar på en viss skillnad i fördelningen av korrekta och felaktiga klassificeringar för de olika metoderna. Vad gäller andelen korrekta och felaktiga klassificeringar kan inte någon betydande skillnad påvisas. Slutsatsen är att det inte går att avgöra om någon metod presterar bättre än de övriga.

Abstract:
Motivations, Attitudes and Modern Languages. A study of students’ motivational processes and attitudes while learning foreign languages. This doctoral thesis investigates students’ motivational processes and attitudes while studying and learning foreign languages (FLs). Students were asked about their choice of FL, and what had motivated them during their many years of studies. The study analyzes open-ended questionnaires and interviews with 43 students enrolled in the last year of foreign language studies in two schools, limiting its focus to the three most commonly studied FLs – French, German and Spanish. The theoretical framework of the thesis draws on sociocognitive theory (Bandura 1997; Linnenbrink & Pintrich 2002). Several informants refer to motivation in terms that could be related to intrinsic motivation. They have chosen to continue studying their particular target language due to an emotional state which could be related to enjoyment, pleasure and curiosity (Deci & Ryan 1985). Another salient feature is the frequent reference to mastery goals. Many of the informants express a motivation directed towards mastery and growth, or a main goal to be fluent or communicatively competent in their target language. Several informants also underline the motivational importance of experiencing competence, success and development. They become motivated by experiencing self-efficacy (Bandura 1997). This self-efficacy is rooted in experience of success, but also in being encouraged by significant others or role models, i.e. family members and friends. Despite a frequent awareness of the weakening general interest for FL, most students have a supportive network. Likewise, family and friends play a crucial role for many informants while choosing their target language initially. This key factor interacts with other important factors, such as the experiences of visiting countries or settings where the target language is used. In this context, target language attitudes tend to be important when choosing language and pursuing studies.

Abstract:
The main goal of this Diploma´s Thesis is to make a model for calculation of water and sewer rates for the company Vodovody a kanalizace Náchod, a.s. when sticking to the set criteria both from the side of VaK Náchod, a.s. and law regulations. Based on the theoretical part an analysis of customer sensitivity to the price changes using the data for last 20 years follows. Findings from the first two parts are used in risk analysis in next part. The created model calculates the water and sewer rates based on the information from the company accounting system in the way to generate sufficient financial resources to fulfill the renovation plan of infrastructural property plant and equipment and to transfer given amount to the company funds. In addition, the model monitors whether the legal condition of maximal allowable increase of profit per m3 is met. In the customer sensitivity to the price changes part the price elasticity of demand for water and sewer rates is calculated based on the data from 1995 to 2015. The assumption of inelastic demand is confirmed. Risk analysis part is deals with potential risk regarding the demand and prices. Potential impacts for the most significant risk are quantified. The analysis uses knowledge gained in the first two parts. It was confirmed that potential risks are exiting but do not have any significant impact on the going concern of VaK Náchod, a.s. The created model has been already used for the calculation of prices for the year 2017. Customer sensitivity analysis to the price changes and link to the potential risks is an additional information for VaK Náchod, a.s. which validates that nowadays, there are no significant threats which could affect the demand and water and sewer rates significantly.

Abstract:
This research is situated in a space between the broad fields of art-glass design, art, science and the technology of alternative photographic printing processes. It is an experimental project with a core research question. ‘Can photosensitive glass be made more accessible to artists working in art-glass, design or art practice’?The focus of this research is located in the almost forgotten niche of ‘photosensitive’ glass. ‘Photo-sensitive and photo-chromic glasses contain ultraviolet light-sensitive metals, gold, silver or copper. The selective development of color can be controlled by placing a mask or photographic film in contact with the glass. When exposed to ultraviolet radiation, then heated, the glass changes from clear to opal, reproducing the pattern on the glass. The image developed is permanent and will not fade as would a similar image in photo-chromic glass.’ (Kohler 1998, 23-24). Glass: An Artist’s Medium. Section 2. Properties of Glass. Iola, WI54990-001. USA: Krause Publications.Through systematic experimentation, the methods indicating how photosensitive glass can be incorporated into selected traditional glass-making techniques have been identified. Traditional glass making techniques include: o Pulling of molten glass from a glass furnace to make stringers, canes, rods, murrine and/or mosaics a hot glass technique. o Crushing and recycling, making chunk de verre and pate de verre, a warm glass technique. o Bead-making, button-making and core-forming, all hot glass techniques. o Kiln work in the form of kiln casting/slumping and simple open-face Pate de Verre, a warm glass technique. o The casting of molten glass from the glass furnace into sand for sandcasting and the forcing of hot molten glass into moulds are hot glass techniques. o Free-blowing and mould blowing, hot glass techniques. o Acid etching and acid embossing, particularly hazardous cold glass techniques are only discussed not attempted.These selected techniques are presented as case studies that have been analysed and the experiments documented to identify methods and processes that demonstrate the potential of photosensitive glass as an art medium. The details of successful experimentation are fully documented according to a laboratory processes, formulae and colour analysis. This extensive research material will hopefully enable designers and glass artists to extend their creative practices and when using the outcomes to develop hybrid and innovative processes in a wide range of contemporary studio based and commercial applications. The research outcomes of this enquiry into the use of photosensitive glass in creative glass processes represent an extensive and original contribution to knowledge that I hope will be shared by studio artists and commercial glass professionals in art and design.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Questions and problems concerning church membership are plenty and surface regularly in church . meetings. The way in which the church operates reflects a particular concept of the church. The· ideal is that way the church functi~ns according to the church law must express the essence of the church. Therefore it is important to ask questions on church membership in the light of the scriptures and the confession. This study shows that there is tension between the concept of the church which comes forwardin the Scriptures and the confession on the one hand and that which is reflected in the practical handling of membership issues on the other hand. An investigation into certain historic backgrounds, the conventions of a variety of churches on the issue of membership as well as the views of church members from· the Presbytery of the Dutch Reformed Church in Pietermaritzburg was necessary to acquire insight into the present situation. These investigations have shown that there are several customs and views on membership issues that do not have a sound theological basis. On what membership means and how it must be handled in practice there is also a wide variety of opinions. From the Old and New Testaments it becomes evident that a complete definition of the church is not possible. The Bible speaks in different ways about thechurch. God's presence and initiative in the church as his people of the covenant is that which makes the faith community the church. Faith, the relation with Jahwe in the Old Testament and with Jesus Christ iri the New Testament, is that which distinguishes the members of the faith community from those who do not belong to it. The handling of membership developed in such a way that membership issues constitutes the delimitation of churches amongst each other. That hampers the visible unity of the church. In the last chapter an attempt was made to formulate guidelines for the handling of membership in such a way that the unity of the church is emphasized while the confessional base of the church is protected at the same time. In this process a distinction is made between the delimitation of the church against the world on the one hand and the delimitation of churches amongst each other on the other hand. An attempt is made to unite the soteriological and the canonical meaning of the baptism in the membership practice. Baptism, as the sacrament of incorporation .into the church of Jesus Christ is fundamental in the acknowledgment of membership and membership privileges in the congregation.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Vrae oor lidmaatskap en die probleme wat daarmee verband hou, is volop en korn dikwels na vore • tydens kerkvergaderings. Die manier waarop die kerk funksioneer, gee uitdrukkirig aan 'n bepaalde · kerkbegrip. Die ideaal is dat die kerkordelike inrigting van die kerk uitdrukking gee aan die wese van die kerk. Daarom is dit belangrik om die vrae oor kerklidmaatskap te vra vanuit dit wat die . . Skrif en belydenisskrifte oor die kerk leer. Hierdie studie toon aan dat daar ;n spanning bestaan tussen die kerkbegrip, soos wat dit in die Skrifen belydenisskrifte geleer word,. rum dieeen kant en die kerkbegrip wat · deur die praktyk van kerklidmaatskap gereflekteer word aan die ander kant · Om begrip vir die huidige situasie te kry, word daarook gekyk na bepaalde.historiese agtergronde · vir huidige gebruike. Gebruike in 'n verskeidenheid van kerke word ondersoek en die siening van 'n groep lidmate van die Ned Geref Kerk in d.ie Ring van Pietermaritzburg bepaal. Hierdie onder- - soeke het aangedui dat daar 'n verskeidenheid van gebruike en opvattings is ten opsigte van lidmaatskap wat nie 'n gesonde teologiese basis het nie. Daar is ook 'n wye verskeidenheid opvattings oor wat lidmaatskap behels en hoe dit hanteer moet word in die kerklike praktyk. U it die Ou en Nu we Testament blyk dit dat afgehandelde definisie van wat kerk is, nie moontlik is nie. Die Bybel praat op wye verskeidenheid maniere oor die kerk; God se teenwoordigheid en inisiatief in die gemeente as verbondsvolk maak van die geloofsgemeenskap kerk. Geloof, verbondenheid aan Jahwe in dieOu Testament en Jesus Christus in die Nuwe Testament onderskei lede van die geloofsgemeenskap van diegene wat nie daaraan behoort nie. Die bantering van lidmaatskapreelings het so ontwikkel dat dit dikwels 'n afgrensing van kerke teenoor mekaar behels en so die sigbare eenheid van die kerk belemmer. In die laaste hoofstuk word· 'n poging aangewend om riglyne daar te stel waarvolgens lidmaatskap so hanteer kan word dat die eenheid van die kerk daarin sigbaar word terwyl die belydenisgrondslag van die kerk beskerm word. In hierdie proses word onderskeid gemaak tussen lidmaatskap as die kerk se afgrensing teenoor die wereld aan die een kant en die afgrensing van kerke teenoor mekaar aan die ander kant. 'n Poging word aangewend om die soteriologiese en kerkregtelike betekenis van die doop byeen te bring in die praktyk. Die doop, as sakrament van inlywing in die kerk van Jesus Christus, word fundamenteel in die erkertning van lidmaatskap en lidmaatvoorregte in die gemeente.

Abstract:
På grund av extrema händelser i världen sker det en allt större migration både i Sverige och i andra länder. Att få människor att integrera sig i samhällets utbildning- och arbetsmarknad och i det sociala livet är aktuella diskussioner i politiska, såväl som i sociala och ekonomiska sammanhang. För att stärka migranters ställning i samhället behöver värdlandet ta till vara på människors tidigare erfarenheter och kompetenser. En studie- och yrkesvägledare kan hjälpa till i migranters process mot utbildning och arbete. Studiens syfte är därför att undersöka hur studie- och yrkesvägledare på vuxenutbildningen upplever vägledningssamtal med nyanlända elever studerandes på kursen svenska för invandrare (Sfi) och på vilka sätt beskrivningar av möten mellan kulturer framträder i samtalen. Utifrån syftet har följande frågeställningar ställts:• Hur beskriver vägledarna Sfi-eleverna de möter i samtal?• Hur kan mötet mellan vägledare och elever beskrivas som ett möte mellan kulturer?• Vilka dilemman ställs vägledarna inför i vägledning med Sfi-elever?Val av teoretisk förankring i studien är Peavys teori om konstruktivistisk vägledning där vi fokuserar på teorins centrala drag och vad teorin säger om vägledarens arbete i möte med olika kulturer. Vidare fördjupar vi analysen med perspektiv på kultur och kulturmöten för att förstå vilka synsätt som ligger bakom de resonemang som förs hos informanterna.Studien har en kvalitativ ansats där intervjuer med sju verksamma studie- och yrkesvägledare på vuxenutbildningen har genomförts. Resultatet av undersökningen visar att informanterna har ett interkulturellt förhållningssätt i samtal med Sfi-elever. Att använda sig av passande samtalsmetodiska färdigheter är betydelsefullt för att bygga relation och för att förebygga problem med språkbruket. Vägledare och elever kommer alltid vara präglade av kulturella föreställningar i vägledningssamtal. Så länge vägledaren har medvetenhet och förmåga att hitta en gemensam grund i samtalen genom att undersöka elevers inställningar och behov, skapar det förutsättningar för att ha effektiva och interkulturella samtal.

Abstract:
Russia and Iran have been subject to mutual influence since the reign of Shah Abbas I (1588-1629). For most of the time this relationship was not one of equals: since the early nineteenth century and lasting at least until 1946, Russia and then the USSR, in strong competition with Britain, had been gradually, and for the most part steadily, increasing its political, cultural and economic influence within Iran up to very high levels. Nevertheless, the history of Russian/Soviet-Iranian relations still remains understudied, particularly in English-language scholarship. One of the main reasons for this gap must be sought in the hampered access of Western researchers to Russian archives during the Soviet time, which made them draw on Russian-language literature, traditionally pre-occupied with the history of social movements, and with the mechanical retelling of political and economic processes. Thus the cultural and political ties of the two countries on institutional and individual levels (especially during the period surrounding 1917), the influence of Russia, and then of the USSR, on Iran and vice versa, in political, economic and cultural spheres through the activities of individuals, as well as the methods and tools used by the “Big Northern neighbour” during the execution of its foreign policy towards Iran did not receive proper attention, and thus lack detailed analysis. This research addresses the lack of detailed analysis of the power/knowledge nexus in relation to Russia’s Persian/Iranian Studies – the largest and most influential sub-domain within Russia’s Oriental Studies during the late Imperial and the early Soviet periods. The specific focus of this study is the involvement of Russian ‘civilian’ (academic) and ‘practical’ (military officers, diplomats, and missionaries) Persian Studies scholarship in Russian foreign policy towards Persia/Iran from the end of the nineteenth century up to 1941 – a period witnessing some of the most crucial events in the history of both countries. It is during this period that Persia/Iran was the pivot of Russia’s Eastern foreign policy but at the same time almost every significant development inside Russia as well as in her Western policies also had an immediate impact on this country – the state of affairs that ultimately culminated in the second Soviet invasion of Iran in 1941. My thesis is based on extensive research in eleven important political, military and academic archives of Russia and Georgia, which allowed me to consult a significant amount of hitherto unpublished, often still unprocessed and only recently declassified, primary sources. While engaging with notions such as Orientalism, my analysis aims at transcending Edward Said’s concept of a mere complicity of knowledge with imperial power. My theoretical approach builds on Michel Foucault’s conceptualisation of the interplay of power/knowledge relations, his notion of discourse, and his writings on the role of the intellectual. While demonstrating the full applicability of the Foucauldian model to the Russian case through the study of the power/knowledge nexus in late Imperial and early Soviet Russia’s Persian Studies, or Iranology, I focus on the activities of scholars and experts within their own professional domains and analyse what motivated them and how their own views, beliefs and intentions correlated with their work, how their activities were influenced by the hegemonic discourses within Russian society. I analyse the interaction of these intellectuals with state structures and their participation in the process of shaping and conducting foreign policy towards Iran, both as part of the Russian scholarly community as a whole and as individuals on the personal level. For the first time my work explores at such level of detail the specific institutional practices of Russia’s Oriental Studies, including the organisation of scholarly intelligence networks, the taking advantage of state power for the promotion of institutional interests, the profound engagement with Russia’s domestic and foreign policy discourses of the time, etc. In addition, the thesis presents a detailed assessment of the organisation of Iranology as a leading sub-domain within the broader scholarly field of Oriental Studies in the period from the end of the nineteenth century to 1941 and analyses the principles and mechanisms of its involvement in Russia’s foreign policy towards Persia/Iran.

Abstract:
En enkel metod att genom beräkning av tryckgradienter i väst-ostlig och nord-sydlig riktning beräkna den geostrofiska vinden, används på tre områden i Sverige. Tryckdata fås från SMHI-bulletinen 1970-78. Resultaten analyseras statistiskt med avseende på hastighet, riktning, årstid och temperatur så att det sedan kan avgöras om metoden ger rimliga resultat. Det visar sig att på grund av, framför allt, systematiska fel i den ursprungliga tryckdatan blev resultaten av denna analys inte att betrakta som användbara. Det finns dock stort utrymme för förbättringar av metoden.

Full text
Abstract:

Efter att ha studerat och författat en teoretisk grund kring ”Private Equity – En portföljbolagsstudie” som första delen av två inom en 20-poängsuppsats skrivs denna magisteruppsats som en påbyggnad där en empirisk studie, analys och slutsats genomförs.

Private equity-investeringar blir en allt vanligare form för kapitalanskaffning hos entreprenörer och företag. Denna form av investeringar sker i onoterade företag där investeraren håller ett aktivt och tidsbegränsat ägarengagemang. Denna uppsats skrivs på uppdrag av Svenska Riskkapitalföreningen, och syftet är att studera riskkapitalinvesteringar med avseende på hur portföljbolagen utvecklas beträffande tillväxt i sysselsättning och omsättning, efter det att ett private equity-bolag blivit delägare. Undersökningen bygger på kvantitativt insamlande av data där analysen grundats på enkäter och bokslutsdata.

Två hypoteser har ställts upp och besvarats. Dessa antar att den årliga genomsnittliga mediantillväxten i sysselsättning respektive omsättning är högre i portföljbolagen, i alla faser, under ett riskkapitalbolags innehavsperiod jämfört med referensgrupperna efter det att en private equity-investering genomförts.

Resultatet för portföljbolagsstudien visar att tillväxten i både sysselsättning och omsättning är högre i bolag med någon form av riskkapital än för referensgrupperna. Därmed verifieras hypoteserna.

Full text
Abstract:

Bakgrund: Graden av centralisering måste ständigt avvägas. Under 1980- talet följde den offentliga sektorn efter den privata avseende decentralisering, ett begrepp som översköljdes med idel positiva argument och erfarenheter. Under slutet av 1990-talet har pendeln svängt och de flesta försäkringskassor har tagit ett steg tillbaka. Vi har valt att undersöka vad som ligger bakom denna utveckling.

Syfte: Vårt syfte med uppsatsen är att skapa ett diskussionsunderlag för främst Försäkringskassan i Kalmar län, men även för andra försäkringskassor och politiskt styrda organisationer, gällande decentraliseringsgrad och problem associerade med valet av densamma.

Avgränsning: Vi har i denna uppsats koncentrerat undersökningen till att omfatta endast länscontrollers eller liknande inom Försäkringskassan. De sitter i samtliga fall i eller nära ledningen, varför vi har ett ledningsperspektiv på vår undersökning.

Genomförande: Vår studie bygger på telefonintervjuer samt öppna och slutna frågeformulär till totalt 18 av de sammanlagt 21 försäkringskassorna i Sverige.

Resultat: Vi har i uppsatsen kommit fram till att det en kombination av alla de faktorer som vi har lokaliserat som har gjort att centraliseringar av olika slag har kommit till stånd inom Försäkringskassan. Tendenserna påverkar varandra och centraliseringsåtgärder är ofta följder av andra d:o, varför det ibland kan vara svårt att särskilja dem. Resultatet visar också att det kan vara svårt att inifrån organisationen se allt som ligger bakom och driver förändringar.

Abstract:
The biophysical properties of the hairpin loop structures in the FMDV and EMCV IRES domains three and I, J were studied using UV melting and Circular Dichroism studies. The apical region consists of the hammerhead region that is made up of hairpin loop structures such as the GNRA motifs in the 16mer hairpin loop, (FMDV and EMCV), the heptaloop 15mer in the FMDV and 17mer in the EMCV, The RAAA motif in the 11mer (FMDV and EMCV). The empirical calculations on the folding of the RNA motifs were determined using the Mfold program. The Gibb’s energy obtained was -62.5, -41.9, -19.3, -7.1, -3.3, -5.9 and -2.1 kcal/mol for the 141, 79, 36, 16, 15, 12 and 11mer FMDV RNA motifs, respectively and -10.1, -6.6, -6.8, -14.1, -17.3, and -90.7 kcal/mol for the 16, 17, 28, 39, 44 and 88mer EMCV RNA motifs, respectively, demonstrating the thermodynamic stability of the motifs. The melting temperature of the 141, 79, 36, 16, 15, 12 and 11mer RNA motifs of the FMDV IRES was determined by the first derivative technique. The melting temperature of the 12mer FMDV RNA was the highest with a melting temperature of 78.0 °C signifying it is the most stable followed by the 141, 79, 11, 36, 16, and 15mers FMDV RNA with 76.0, 76.0, 74.0, 72.0, 70.0 and 70.0 °C, respectively. In the EMCV, the 17mer had the highest melting temperature with 78.0 followed by the 16, 88, 28 and 44mers with 77.0, 76.0, 76.0 and 74.0 °C, respectively. The addition of Mg2+ stabilised the RNA motifs. The stabilisation effect on the RNA motifs was not uniform. The melting temperatures obtained were increased by 1.0, 1.0, 4.0, 8.0, 5.0, 2.0 and 2.0 °C for the 141, 79, 36, 16, 15, 12 and 11mer FMDV RNA motifs and 5.0, 4.0, 4.0, 2.0 and 0 °C for the 16, 17, 28, 44 and 88mers EMCV RNA motifs. The most significant effect was observed with the 16mer FMDV, EMCV RNA motifs showing a difference of 8.0, 5.0 °C followed by the FMDV 15mer with a difference of 5.0 °C and EMCV 17mer showing a difference of 4.0 °C. The melting temperature of the EMCV 39mer was not determined without Mg2+, but in the presence of Mg2+ was 76.0 °C. The CD studies showed the RNA motifs to have an A-form conformation with further stabilisation of the loops and stems with the addition of Mg2+.This is the first time the hairpin loop structures in the IRES will be characterised by UV melting and CD studies. Information on the thermal stability of the central domain will provide thermodynamic information on mechanisms of inhibiting protein initiation via the IRES.In addition to the above, the expression and purification of eIF4GcII protein has been carried out.

Abstract:
The work described herein deals with the synthesis and characterization of lead chalcogenide thin films and nanocrystals. The first part of thesis describes the properties of semiconductors followed by an analysis on the chemical vapour deposition and nanoparticulate formation. In the next part of thesis, single-source precursors of type thioselenophosphinato, selenoureato, dithiocarbamato and dithiocarbanato complexes of lead have been synthesised and characterised. As-synthesised compounds have been utilised for the fabrication of lead sulfide and lead selenide thin films by aerosol-assisted chemical vapour deposition as well as nanocrystals by colloidal injection method. Lead sulfide thin films were also deposited by liquid-liquid interface from lead dithiocarbanato at room temperature. The as grown thin films of lead sulfide and lead selenide have been characterised by XRD, SEM and energy dispersive x-ray (EDX) analysis. In the second part of the thesis, preparation of lead sulfide and lead selenide nanocrystals in olive oil at low growth temperatures (50-60°C) is described and have shown that by controlling experimental conditions, well-defined particles with tunable emission in mid and far-infrared region can be synthesised. Furthermore, compositionally-tuned PbSxSe1-x nanocrystals has also been prepared by adding controlled amount of sulur and selenium ingredients into lead oxide. Homogenous distribution of sulfur and selenium within alloyed nanocrystals is confirmed by transmission electron microscope studies. Moreover, attempts have been made to prepare quaternary (PbTe/Se/S) nanocrystals of lead chalcogenides and depth (1.9-5.8 nm) profile analysis by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy confirmed the formation of core/shell/shell type structure i.e. PbTe/S/Se.

Abstract:
Melodifestivalen är en svensk musiktävling där vinnaren av tävlingen representerar Sveriges bidrag på Eurovision Song Contest. Melodifestivalen nådde uppemot 3,770 miljoner tittare år 2015. Många som tittade på Melodifestivalen använde sig av deras applikation till att rösta och följa programmet. Denna studie är skriven i syfte att undersöka samt analysera hur medietekniker upplever kombinationen av att titta på Melodifestivalen, samtidigt som de använder sig av Melodifestivalens applikation. Metoden som använts för att samla data och information har varit kvalitativa och kvantitativa intervjuer. All material har tagits fram i syfte att ge djupare svar/förståelse på̊ de frågor som ställts. En annan viktig aspekt i denna studie är att undersöka hur Melodifestivalens applikation är uppbyggd samt vilka krav som ställts på den. Med hjälp av en internet-intervju med Djeiran Amini, projektledare för Melodifestivalen, har viktig information kunnat tas fram. Resultaten som framkommit har analyserats i förhållande till undersökningar och teorier nära ämnet. Studiens resultat visar tydligt att de flesta deltagare som tillhörde den medel engagerade gruppen upplevde att de fick en förhöjd upplevelse av Melodifestivalen, trots att applikationen inte fungerade korrekt under tiden för programmet. De flesta deltagare som tillhörde den mest engagerade gruppen var mer kritiska över applikationen och upplevde generellt ingen förhöjd upplevelse av programmet. Denna studie är baserad på erfarenheter och upplevelser från 12 medietekniker som studerar på Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan. Det går därmed inte att generalisera studiens resultat som något som skulle kunna gälla för alla användare av Melodifestivalens applikation i Sverige. Människors olika upplevelser, i detta fall gällande en applikation, kan inte generaliseras eftersom de alltid är unika för deltagaren i sig. Deltagarna i de olika grupperna kunde ibland uppleva samma sak och ibland inte, beroende på olika faktorer. Till exempel vilka krav man ställer på funktionerna samt användarens upplevelse av applikationen.
Melodifestivalen is a Swedish Music Contest where the winner of the contest represents Sweden's contribution in the Eurovision Song Contest. Melodifestivalen had 3,770 million viewers in 2015. Many who watched the Eurovision Song Contest ​​used the application to vote and to follow the program.     This study was written in order to examine and analyze how media technicians experience the combination of watching the Eurovision Song Contest while, using the Melodifestivalen application. The method used to collect data and information have been qualitative and quantitative interviews. All materials have been developed in order to provide deeper understanding of the questions raised.     Another important aspect of this study is to investigate how Melodifestivalen`s application is built as well as what is expeced of it. With the help of an Internet interview with Djeiran Amini, the project manager of Melodifestivalen, important information has developed. The answers that emerged were analyzed in relation to selected theories and investigations. The results of the study clearly show that participants who belong to the medium committed group felt that they had an enhancedexperience of the Eurovision Song Contest, despite that the application did not work properly during the time of the program. The remaining participants who belonged to the most committed group were more critical of the application and experienced no overall enhanced experience of the program. This study is based on experiences and perceptions of 12 media technicians who study at the Royal Institute of Technology. It is therefore impossible to generalize the results of the study as something that could apply to anyone using the Melodifestivalen application in Sweden. People's different experiences, in this case an application, can not be generalized because everyone’s experience is unique. The participants from the different groups could sometimes experience the same thing and sometimes not, depending on various factors. For example, the requirements on the functions and user’s experience of the application.

The aim of the master thesis was to propose the reconstruction of the water treatment plant. I chose the water treatment plant in Čebín, which I have already describe with in the bachelor thesis. The water treatment plant has problems with increased iron, manganese and ammonium salts. In the first part I devoted myself to the current condition of the water treatment plant and the possibilities of removing the elements from the water. In the next chapter I compiled the equipment of the technological line. To remove iron and manganese, I suggested aeration using an injector, and for the removal of ammonium salts, potassium permanganate is used, which is used to regenerate the filters. A pair of pressure filters helps remove iron and manganese. In the last part of the thesis I described and evaluated the original condition of the water treatment plant. To evaluate the technical condition, I used the TEA Water web application.

Abstract:
Over the last decades, the world has not only seen an increase in nonviolent campaigns that challenge regimes, but also a dramatic increase in women’s participation in those campaigns. Despite this trend, there are few studies that explain if and how women influence nonviolent campaign outcomes. This study seeks to contribute to this understudied topic by exploring whether female protestors have an effect on the outcomes of nonviolent campaigns. The research question is: Why do some nonviolent campaigns succeed, while others fail? By synthesizing sociological concepts with rational agency-based factors that have proven to produce successful outcomes, I construct three gender-related campaign dimensions: (1) gender framing techniques; (2) gender experiences; and (3) shared gender-equal attitudes, that I argue increase the likelihood of successful campaigns. I evaluate the theoretical arguments in a case study using the method of structured focused comparison on the Sudanese Revolution in Sudan (2018-2019), the Anti-Mubarak Campaign in Egypt (2011), and the Anti-Bouteflika Campaign in Algeria (2011). I find that campaigns that are influenced by gender dimensions also succeed in achieving some or a majority of their goals, while campaigns that are not influenced by gender dimensions fail to achieve their goals.

Genom kvalitativ metod där fem intervjuer med studie- och yrkesvägledare i Stockholms län har analyserats. Vi har kommit fram till att dessa studie- och yrkesvägledare har haft ett arbete efter avslutad examen inom skolväsendet. Alla vägledarna ser ett samband mellan den kompetens de har fått från utbildningen och deras arbetsuppgifter och yrkesroller. Dessa vägledare upplever också att vägledarens yrkesroll ibland kan upplevas som diffus genom att andra begär uppgifter som inte ligger i vägledarens kompetens.

Abstract:
This essay deals with classification of images using the subject classification system Outline. This classification system is used in regional museums and they do often have large collections of pictures. The regional museums have their main focus of culture history. The purpose is to look at Outline from four different aspects: 1. In what way is the system constructed looking at classification theory, 2. How are you supposed to analyse a picture when using Outline? 3. What does the environment look like where Outline is used? 4. What does the museum staff think about Outline as their work tool? To answer these questions I have read literature and made an qualitative inquiry. My main results are that Outline is constructed in a rather simple way concerning classification theory. When using Outline you can only analyse an image from what it looks like and not classify abstract things like feelings and emotions. The museum staff seems to be rather satisfied with Outline. My conclusions are that the system seems to work well in the environment, the regional museums, where it is used. They do have a distinct culture history perspective of their pictures, which make Outline working good, even if you can not classify feelings or other abstract things using it.

Abstract:
The principal aim of this thesis is to test if extracts, produced by the automatic summarizer "Copernic Summarizer", are possible to use as abstracts. The aim is also to give a picture of what automatic summarization is and why it is motivated. Three questions are asked: What is automatic summarization and what can it be used for? Is it possible to replace the author-written abstracts with extracts from "Copernic Summarizer"? Is automatic summarization motivated for the different areas of use that are identified in the first question? An automatic summarizer is a program that is intended to summarize text automatically and it can be used for different purposes, for example for summarizing WebPages or scientific articles. To answer the second question an experiment is carried out. Five empirical articles are summarized with "Copernic Summarizer" and a qualitative method is used which is intended to evaluate the content and readability of the extracts. The content of the extracts is compared against the author-written abstracts. The results show that two of five extracts could replace the abstracts, though one of the acceptable extracts was a borderline case. The conclusion is that in most of the cases you can not replace abstracts with extracts from "Copernic Summarizer", even though the result sometimes is acceptable. The last question is discussed and the author suggests that automatic summarization might be more useful on the Internet than for producing abstracts from scientific articles.

Abstract:
Sammanfattning Under de senaste åren har intresset ökat för så kallade chatbot-agenter som nyttjar mönsterigenkänning. Tjänsten används inom kundtjänstområdet och genererar affärsnyttagenom att minska personalkostnader och samtidigt säkerställa en hög tillgänglighetför kunder. För att optimera kundnytta krävs frekventa arbetsinsatser från förvaltarens sida, dåsystemets precision ökas genom anpassning av chatbotens svar utifrån tidigare konversationer.I syfte att undersöka ytterligare förbättringsåtgärder inom mönsterigenkänningför chatbotsystem, genomförs i detta arbete en jämförande studie mellanolika tekniker för att bättre förstå avsikten i frågan som ställts. Ett flertal prototyper har under studien utvecklats och anpassats för att utvärderateknikerna lemmatisation och stemming på det svenska och engelska språket. Resultatet visar att tekniken lemmatisation höjer träffsäkerheten mer än teknikenstemming för det svenska språket, och att bägge tekniker kan användas för att ökaträffsäkerheten hos ett mönsterigenkännande system inom textklassificering. Förprototyper som testats för tillämpningar med engelska språket visar studiens resultatatt lemmatisation har högre nivå av träffsäkerhet jämfört med teknikern stemming.

Abstract In recent years, interest has increased for so-called chatbot agents which uses patternrecognition to provide solutions in the customer service area that offer businessbenefits in the form of reduced staff costs combined with high customer accessibility.In order to optimize customer benefit, frequent maintenance is required. The accuracyof the system is increased by adapting chatbot response based on previous conversations.In order to investigate further improvement measures in pattern recognitionfor chatbot systems, a comparative study is conducted between two differenttechniques. The aim of the study is to determine which of the two techniques thatinterpret the intent of a question being asked most accurately.Several prototypes have been developed during the study, to evaluate the techniqueslemmatization and stemming for the Swedish and English language.The result show that lemmatization and stemming techniques for the Swedish languagecan be used to increase the accuracy of a pattern recognition system in textclassification and that lemmatization do so to a larger extent than stemming. Prototypestested with the English language show evidence which suggests that lemmatizationincrease the level of accuracy in comparison with the use of stemming, whichitself did not increase the accuracy.

Abstract:
Elsparkcyklar, dvs. uppladdningsbara batteridrivna sparkcyklar, utgör en ny tillgänglighetstjänst och en ny typ av färdmedel som varken bullrar eller bidrar till luftföroreningar och utsläpp av växthusgaser. Elsparkcyklarna har pekats ut som en ny transportlösning som bidrar till en mer hållbar stadstrafik, men riktigheten i detta påstående beror på hur de används. I den här studien undersöks därför några stockholmares resor med elsparkcykel. Elsparkcyklarna är ett nytt fenomen i stadsmiljön och i dagsläget är litteratur och tidigare studier i ämnet begränsad. Studien består av en enkätundersökning med kompletterande intervjufrågor samt en kunskapsöversyn som sammanfattar relevant innehåll från ett urval av tidigare studier. Avslutningsvis diskuteras två aspekter, dels hur resultaten kan tolkas och dels hur frågor som berör elsparkcyklar kan tas vidare i andra studier kopplade till stads- och trafikplanering.
Electric scooters, i.e. rechargeable battery-driven scooters, are a new accessibility service and a new mode of transport that does not contribute to air pollution, noise, or greenhouse gas emissions. The electric scooters have been pointed out as a new sustainable way of travelling. The accuracy of this statement does, however, depend on how the scooters are being used. Therefore, this study will look into some of the trips made by electric scooters in Stockholm, Sweden. The electric scooters are a new phenomenon in the cities and at the moment the amount of peer-reviewed literature is limited. The study comprises of a survey with complementary interviews and a literature study of previous work within the field. Two aspects are being discussed at the end of this report; firstly, how the results can be interpreted and, secondly, how the questions raised in this study may be transferred onto further studies in the field of urban planning.

Abstract:
Textilindustrin är en av världens mest förorenade industrier idag. Fast fashion företag uppmuntrar konsumenter till ökade köp genom sina låga priser. Förr handlade människor nya kläder vid behov, till skillnad från idag då många konsumerar efter begär. Att textilindustrin har stor påverkan på miljön är många väl medvetna om, men för att de ska kunna ske en förändring måste både konsumenter och företag vidta de åtgärder som krävs. Syftet med denna studie har varit att undersöka slutfasen i den textila värdekedjan. I denna avhandling kommer fenomenet upcycling att studeras och ifrågasättas som en lösning till textilavfall. Upcycling innebär att förlänga livet på ett förbrukat plagg, vilket är en vidareutveckling på en cirkulär ekonomi. Under denna studie har all kontakt med branschfolk varit inom Sverige och arbetet har huvudsakligen tagit plats i Göteborg och Borås. Frågeställningarna har utforskat för- och nackdelarna med upcycling, dessutom har en utvald målgrupp granskats via enkäter för att se deras inställning till ämnet. Resterande information har hämtats från intervjuer samt tidigare forskning. Studien upptäckte vissa svårigheter med att applicera upcycling på sin affärsmodell. Den största utmaningen som belystes var tidsåtgången, problemet kan leda till höga arbetskostnader och ökat konsumentpris. De fördelarna som upcycling bidrar med är att råmaterial och ohälsosamma arbetsförhållanden går att uteslutna. Dessutom kan konsumenten köpa plagg utan att påverka miljön negativt, detta skapar en cirkulär ekonomi. Denna studie görs ur ett hållbarhetsperspektiv och kommer att granska ett nytt möjligt tillvägagångssätt för avfallshantering, vilket gör att den kommer att avgränsa från recycling samt kläduthyrning. Studien kommer inte göra en ekonomisk fördjupning utan endast ta upp grundläggande ekonomiska aspekter.
The textile industry has become one of the most polluting industries in the world. Low prices and fast fashion increasing globally has developed a habit of consuming for leisure and not for needs. The awareness of the textile industry's environmental impact is well spoken about, but now consumers and companies need to take action to make a change. The purpose of this study has been to research the end stages of the textile loop, can textile waste turn into new fashionable clothes? In this thesis the phenomena upcycling will be explained, the advantages it brings to the positive impact on the climate justice. Upcycling means adding value to a garment in its last phase to avoid turning into waste, the business model is used to close the loop. During the phase of this thesis all contact with professionals has been within Swedish borders and the major part of this work has been based in Gothenburg and Borås. The main focus has been to explore the benefits and the difficulties with upcycling. Society’s knowledge and attitude is towards upcycling has been explored with the help of interviews and surveys as well as previous studies. The study discovers the difficulties with applying upcycling to its business model, the main problem is consumption of time, which can cause high labor costs and increase the stock price. The benefits that follows from upcycling is that raw material and bad working conditions can be excluded, it has the ability to close the loop and create a circular economy. This study is made from a perspective of sustainability, but does delimitate from the profoundness of economics. In addition, the study will examine a new way for the end phase of a textile garment and will delimitate the methods of recycling and rental of clothes.

Abstract:
Syftet med vår studie var att undersöka vilka eventuella skillnader och likheter i kompetenser som studie- och yrkesvägledare och coacher besitter och använder i sitt arbete. Utifrån vårt syfte formulerade vi följande tre forskningsfrågor; Vilka kompetenser har de intervjuade studie- och yrkesvägledare erfarenhet av i sin yrkesutövning? Vilka kompetenser har de intervjuade coacherna erfarenhet av i sin yrkesutövning? Och Vilka är de två yrkebenämningarnas eventuella skillnader och likheter i avseende på kompetensinnehav och kompetensanvändning. För att få svar på våra forskningsfrågor så valde vi att genomföra åtta stycken kvalitativa intervjuer med fyra stycken studie- och yrkesvägledare och fyra stycken coacher där samtliga arbetar inom området studier och/eller arbete. För att analysera vårt resultat så tog vi hjälp av EU ́s organ, Cedefops kompetensbeskrivningar av vägledarens arbetsuppgifter samt Kerstin Keens kompetensbeskrivning och Knud Illeris utökade kompetensbegrepp. Resultatet visar att studie- och yrkesvägledarna lyfter fram fem stycken fokusområden vilka är; Metoder och teorier, Empati, Acceptera människors olikheter och olika förutsättningar, Motivation och hopp samt Trygghet, gällande vilka kompetenser som de besitter och använder. Även coacherna lyfter i sina intervjuer fram fem stycken fokusområden vilka är; Arbetssätt och metoder med klienten, Hjälpa klienten att se sina framgångar eller brister, Att klienten åstadkommer något, Våga vara obekväm samt Anpassningar, gällande vilka kompetenser som de besitter och använder. Resultatet visade även att studie- och yrkesvägledarna i vår studie har ett större fokus kring metoder och teorier än våra intervjuade coacher hade. Coacherna däremot hade ett stort fokus på att våga vara obekväm, vara ärlig och att arbeta med att utmana klienterna på olika sätt, vilket inte var lika tydligt hos studie- och yrkesvägledarna. Resultatet visade även på likheter så som att båda yrkesrollerna arbetar empatiskt samt att de arbetar utifrån kompetensen att kunna motivera klienterna till handling. Resultatet från vår studie kan inte uppfattas som generell för alla studie- och yrkesvägledare eller alla coacher utan kan bara hjälpa oss att få en inblick i de kompetenser som de båda yrkesrollerna besitter och använder.
The purpose of our study was to investigate the possible differences and similarities in the skills that study and career counselors and coaches own and use in their work. Based on our purpose, we formulated the following three research questions; What skills does the interviewed study and career counselors have experience off in their professional practices? What skills does the interviewed coaches have experience off in their professional practices? And what are the differences and similarities between the two occupations in terms of competence and competence use. To answer our research questions, we chose to conduct eight qualitative interviews with four study and career counselors and four coaches, all working in the field of study and / or work. In order to analyze our results, we took the help of EU bodies, Cedefop's competence descriptions of the supervisor's duties, and Kerstin Keen's competence description and Knud Illeri's extended competence description. The results show that the study and career counselors highlight five focus areas which are; Methods and Theories, Empathy, Accepting People's Differences and Different Conditions, Motivation and Hope, and Safety, regarding the skills they possess and use. The coaches also highlight five focus areas in their interviews, which are; Way of working and methods with the client, Help the client to see their successes or shortcomings, That the client accomplishes something, The ability be uncomfortable, and Adaptations, regarding the skills they possess and use. The results also showed that the study and career counselors in our study have a greater focus on methods and theories than our interviewed coaches had. The coaches, on the other hand, had a great focus on the ability to be uncomfortable, honest and to work to challenge the clients in different ways, which was not as clear in the case of the study and career counselors. The result also showed similarities such as the fact that both professional roles work empathically and that they work with the ability to motivate the clients into action. The results of our study can not be perceived as general for all student counselors or coaches, but can help us gain insight into the skills that both professors possess and use in their work with clients in this area.

Full text
Abstract:

Bakgrund: En omvärldsförändring som under senare tid hamnat i fokus världen över är avregleringar och en av de sista marknaderna i Sverige som har avreglerats är elmarknaden. Många problem som ett företag möter vid en avreglering härrör från att företagsledningen har vuxit fram ur ett tänkande baserat på en monopolmarknad istället för på en konkurrensutsatt marknad. Ett verktyg som en företagsledning använder sig av, för att företaget ska kunna vara flexibelt och anpassa sin strategi för framtida förändringar, är interaktiva styrsystem. Däremot behöver inte ett interaktivt styrsystem som idag är berättigade vara det rätta imorgon. Detta faktum gör det intressant att undersöka om ett företag klarar av att anpassa sig samt förbli en konkurrenskraftig aktör på den nya marknaden.

Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka vilka förändringar en avreglering av den svenska elmarknaden har på Vattenfalls interaktiva styrsystem och vad de eventuella förändringarna beror på.

Avgränsningar: I denna undersökning ämnar vi inte bedöma Vattenfalls val av strategi eller Vattenfalls marknadsprognos innan respektive efter avregleringen. Vidare har vi valt att avgränsa denna undersökning till att gälla distributionen av el till slutkund, vilket gör att det endast är Vattenfalls försäljningsavdelning som är av intresse i denna undersökning. Slutligen kommer inte att behandla interaktiva styrsystem som anknyter till juridiska strategiska osäkerheter och vi kommer inte heller försöka identifiera brister och svagheter med Vattenfalls interaktiva styrsystem och dess beroendevariabler.

Genomförande: Den data som denna undersökning består av har samlats in genom en kvalitativ metod, där vi har gjort intervjuer med anställda på Vattenfall AB. Till viss del har vi använt oss av sekundärdata likt statliga rapporter, Internet och årsredovisningar.

Resultat: Denna undersöknings resultat kan summeras med att Vattenfalls interaktiva styrsystem och dess beroendevariabler inte har genomgått någon markant förändring. Strategin har förändrats från att vara produktorienterad till att vara kundorienterad och liknas vid en differentieringsstrategi. Vattenfalls marknadsprognos är i stort oförändrad. Även de strategiska osäkerheterna har förändrats marginellt. I detta fall är den tydligaste förändringen att kundorientering har blivit en strategisk osäkerhet, vilket beror på att den svenska elmarknaden utsattes för konkurrens i och med avregleringen. Vad gäller interaktiva styrsystem har tre system förblivit oförändrade. Ett interaktivt styrsystem, logistiksystem, har försvunnit i och med avregleringen och istället har ett kundorienterat styrsystem skapats. Det ska dock tilläggas att det före detta logistiksystemet täcks upp av kundorienteringssystemet.

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Intag av en balanserad skollunch har associerats till hälsosamma matvanor i övrigt, däribland bättre måltidsordning och mer hälsosamma mellanmål.Syfte: Att undersöka elevers lunchvanor under skoldagar vid en högstadieskola i Arjeplog och en i Arvidsjaur.Metod: En enkät delades ut till 110 elever i årskurs 8 och 9 i Arjeplog och Arvidsjaur. Enkäten frågade efter elevernas lunchvanor, om intag av utrymmesmat samt frukt och grönsaker.Resultat: Fyra av fem elever åt skollunch dagligen (77 %, n=84). Mindre än var femte av dessa åt en balanserad skollunch enligt Livsmedelsverkets definition (17 %, n=14). Fler intog en balanserad skollunch i Arvidsjaur än i Arjeplog (p=0,009). Den oftast valda anledningen till att skollunchen intogs var för att stilla hungern och för att den inte konsumerades att de inte tyckte om maten. Av de som inte åt skollunch dagligen var det vanligast att de åt snabbmat istället. Det var 62 % (n=67) av alla deltagare som ansåg att skollunchen hade för få alternativ av varmrätter. Av eleverna åt 53 % (n=57) godis minst två dagar per vecka. De som åt en balanserad skollunch åt mer frekvent grönsaker, samt frukt än de med obalanserad skollunch (p<0,001 respektive p=0,023). Grönsaker intogs dagligen av 37 % (n=15) av tjejerna och 17 % (n=11) av killarna (p=0,025).Slutsats: Högstadieelevernas måltidsmönster vid lunchtid i Arjeplog och Arvidsjaur indikerar mindre hälsosamma matvanor i övrigt. Tendenser till mindre hälsosamma matvanor ses i Arjeplog. Smaken och kvaliteten på maten har stor betydelse för om ungdomarna i högstadiet konsumerar skollunchen eller inte. Satsningar på skolmaten är en viktig investering i folkhälsan.
Background: Intake of a balanced school lunch has been associated with healthier eating habits in general, for example better meal planning and healthier snacks.Objective: To investigate the lunch habits of pupils during school days, in one secondary school in Arjeplog and Arvidsjaur, respectively.Method: A survey was handed out to 110 pupils in 8th and 9th grade in Arjeplog and Arvidsjaur. The survey asked for the pupils’ lunch habits, intake of high sugary and fast food as well as fruit and vegetables.Results: Four out of five pupils ate school lunch daily (77 %, n=84). Less than every five of these pupils ate a balanced school lunch according to the Swedish food administration’s definition (17 %, n=14). More pupils ate a balanced school lunch in Arvidsjaur (p=0,009). The most chosen reason to eat school lunch was to satisfy ones hunger, and for not to eat that they didn’t like the food. Among non-school lunch eaters, it was most common to eat fast food instead. Of all the pupils, 62 % (n=67) thought that the school lunch was lacking main course options. Candy was eaten at least two days per week by 53 % (n=57) of the pupils. Among balanced school lunch eaters, fruit and vegetables where consumed more frequently than among those eating an unbalanced school lunch (p=0,023; p<0,001, respectively). Vegetables where eaten daily by 37 % (n=15) of the girls and 17 % (n=11) of the boys (p=0,025).Conclusion: The eating habits during lunchtime in Arjeplog and Arvidsjaur indicate less healthy dietary habits in general. There are tendencies of less healthy food habits in Arjeplog. When deciding whether to eat school lunch or not, taste and quality of the food is of major importance. Investment in school meals is an important investment in public health.

Abstract:
Conventional drill and blast tunnelling consists of mainly seven elements which together makes a cycle. This cycle includes drilling and blasting which are crucial factors in tunnelling projects, as these have a major influence on how the project will progress. After blasting there can be occurrences of under-break with so called bootholes in it and a re-blast is needed. This is expensive and time-consuming, and is therefore indefensible due to causing extra costs as well as a delay in the completion of the whole project. A solution for this problem is needed to avoid blasting second times. Due to laws regulating the allowed fracture zone in tunnel-blasting, contour blasting is performed. The reason behind why bootlegs emerges after blasting is still unknown and depends on many varied factors, such as geology, blast pattern and the volume of explosives used. Different tests are done while blasting, thereafter the results are evaluated and documented. Each test was tried three times to get as a most reliable result as possible. Among others the amount of explosives ranged, double detonators in poor rock sections and a new drill plan was made. The main theory behind this project was that the problem with bootlegs mainly depended om poor geological situations in the rock. None of the test however have been successful enough to solve the problem and after almost every blast there where bootholes in the remaining rock. Recommendations for further testing are using a less amount of explosives as this was a successful method in Björkdalsgruvan in northern Sweden. Another thing worth giving a try is to remove the “helping-row” because it seems like it is breaking the contour-row and not doing any difference.

Abstract:
Part I deals with the fine-structure of 25 marine and 3 freshwater strains of cryptomonads, and 2 species observed in fixed marine plankton samples. Emphasis is placed on scanning electron microscope observations, which yield valuable taxonomic data, providing that cell shrinkage (up to about 25 % linear), and other undesirable effects of preparation schedules, are taken into account. The fine-structural information is used for judging the taxonomic value of some cell features. Characters having taxonomic significance at various levels include the cell shape, periplast features (especially the shape and size of the periplast areas), chloroplast number, nucleomorph position, presence of a 'tail', and the presence of a true, non-artifactual furrow on the ventral cell face. A new classification system is proposed. This allows for the existence of three orders, four families, seven pigmented genera, and two colourless ones. Most diagnosis or descriptions of taxa above the generic level are based on only one character. This should make the system capable of accomodating new taxa with little difficulty. The following new taxa are described: Rbinomonas reticulata comb. nov., R. . reticulata var. atrorosea comb. et stat. nov., R. reticulata var. compresses var. nov., R. reticulate var. eleniana var. nov., Proteomonas pseudobaltica comb. nov., P. pseudobal tics var. 1 eonardiana var. nov., Pyrenomonas sahne var. curvata var. nov., Pyrenomonadales ord. nov., Pyrenomonadaceee fam. nov., and Cryptomonadales ord. nov. - Part II deals with the diatom genus Mastoglola. An update of the taxa assigned to this genus is given, together with a 'resemblance list' useful for identifying taxa not included in the main reference work for the genus. The frustule architecture of Mastoglola smitbii is examined with particular reference to the valvocopula, especially the features involved in its integration with the valve.

Ett kommunikationsprotokoll är en specifikation på hur kommunikation mellan två eller fler parter fungerar. Det kan specificera vilken typ av koppling parterna har till varandra, vilken sorts data som kan skickas, hur det datat skall formateras med mera. För att förbättra kommunikationen mellan SEBs interna system undersöker denna rapport vilka alternativ som finns och vad de kan ha för fördelar och nackdelar mot det existerande kommunikationsprotokollet. Intervjuer med de som arbetar i systemen och protokolldokumentation sammanställs för att hitta skillnader mellan protokollen och för att väga alternativen mot varandra. Det protokoll som används idag är enligt intervjuresultaten långsamt och svårt att underhålla. Det protokoll som enligt undersökningen har störst fördelar är ProtoBuf. Med binära, tydliga meddelanden kan ProtoBuf lösa många av de problem som finns i den existerande lösningen.
A communication protocol is a specification of how a communication between two or more parties works. It can specify what type of connection the parties share, what data can be sent, how the data should be formatted, and more. To improve the communication between SEBs internal systems, this essay investigates alternative protocols and their pros and cons to the existing communication protocol. Interviews with those working in the systems and protocol documentation are compiled to find differences between the protocols and to weigh the alternatives to each other. The protocol used today is slow and difficult to maintain according to the interview results. The protocol which, according to the essay, has the greatest benefits, is ProtoBuf. With binary, clear messages, ProtoBuf can solve many of the problems that exist in the existing solution.

Full text
Abstract:
Does participation in microcredit programs lead to the empowerment of women? The answer is not clear-cut, and earlier studies report ambivalent results. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals number 5 argues for the importance of finding paths to empowerment. In order to facilitate women’s empowerment in microcredit scholars suggest the use of a credit-plus approach. The purpose of this paper is to reassess the impact of microcredit by making use of the credit-plus approach of Fundación WWB. The study is based on new primary data collected in a Minor Field Study conducted in Colombia. Through developing and testing three hypotheses I assess the impact on three dimensions of women’s empowerment: economic, social and cultural, and psychological. A mixed method approach of both OLS regressions and semi-structured interviews are applied. The results indicate that a credit-plus approach does increase the positive impact of credit on women’s financial control within the household. Yet, no significant result could be found in the case of decision-making power or self-efficiency. The paper also concludes that non-financial services per se may constitute a way to increase women empowerment.
