Syftet med studien var att undersöka den narrativa förmågan hos barn i skolåldern med eller under utredning för autismspektrumtillstånd (AST) och barn med typisk utveckling. Denna förmåga jämfördes både inom och mellan dessa grupper. Vidare var syftet att undersöka sambandet mellan narrativ förmåga och andra språkliga och kognitiva funktioner i de båda grupperna. Till studien utarbetades ett testb

The cerebellum is important for the control of movements, speech as well as mental activities. In the molecular layer of the cerebellum there exist interneurons which role in the cerebellar neural network is not yet fully understood. In this thesis, these interneurons are simulated by mathematical models in order to investigate their connectivity attern. Further, the input/output behavior of a del

Between drug abuse and a more ordinary life – A qualitative study about former drug addicts experiences of past and present (translated title) The purpose of this study was to examine the experiences of a group of people after leaving a life of drug abuse behind to live a more ordinary life and to interpret these experiences in the light of interactional theory. The theoretic framework used was b

When a parent dies, a person’s life comes to an end while others are forever changed. The aim of this thesis is to explore and identify the needs of bereaved children and to investigate how professionals within the Swedish public health care system, work to support children in grief. The empirical part of this study was conducted over the course of two months in 2013. Four hospital counselors and

The subject of this thesis was to investigate the possibility of a supplemental control algorithm to suppress gear alternation in the ZF ECCOM gearbox series. The acquired solutions were implemented on a dSpace MicroAutoBox II and connected to a Claas Xerion 5000 to evaluate their effect. The different approaches have gone through three steps of validation, first a Simulink model simulation, secon

It is commonly acknowledged that the European Union (EU) created the notion of a European identity, in order to foster a sense of belonging and identification with the European project among its citizens. The basic assumption to this is that one way to promote a European identity is through higher education and, in particular, student mobility. This thesis sets out to explore how a European identi

As a consumer-driven trend, Bring your own device (BYOD) imposes many changes on an already challenged relationship between the IT organization and the business organization. For this reason, it is important to map this influence. The purpose of this research was therefore to determine the effect of BYOD on the IT-business relationship. This was done by deriving factors from literature that affect

The biggest difference b

Syftet med denna uppsats är att reda ut huruvida ledarskap i dagens tjänsteverksamheter innefattas av fysisk distans och virtualitet samt undersöka om forskning behöver behandla fysisk distans som en enskild ledarskapsteori. Genom en enkätundersökning på fyra tjänsteföretags huvudkontor och fyra semistrukturerade intervjuer med tjänstemän som arbetar med och utan tydlig fysisk distans har vi skapa

An intuitive programming method for industrial robots is proposed and investigated. The main goal is to reduce the time required to program an industrial robot without the use of expensive reverse engineering equipment. Using a pen shaped tool and an optical tracking system, the user indicates the desired robot trajectory, whereafter a 3D scanner is used to gain knowledge of the work piece. The in

P-boken har länge varit det centrala mediet för förmedling av idéer. Med digitaliseringen uppstod e-boken vars form skakade den tryckorienterade förlagsbranschen i grunden. På den anglosaxiska marknaden äter e-boken marknadsandelar i en rasande fart. I Sverige har e-boksmarknaden, trots landets höga internetpenetration, inte tagit fart men förlagen bävar inför p-bokens ovissa framtid. Idag likstäl
