The Internet offers an abundance of information. This information is easy to access in technical terms, however it is difficult to find. At present there is a wide variety of search services to choose from. This master's thesis is about selecting the appropriate search service for a certain question. Are different types of services suitable for different types of questions, and if so, which se
In writing this study, I wanted to examine which principles of organization that are possible for Swedish public libraries to use, and what these principles mean for the libraries customerorientation. This is done by examining a number of written sources, as well as studying the organization of six public libraries. I found several possible principles, but a number of principles have been more com
The aim of this thesis is to explore the job satisfaction of librarians and try to nuance stereotypes, which the public has and which still exist in massmedia concerning librarians and their work. The study is qualitative and based mainly on semistructured interviews with ten libraries born between 1937s and 1973s of which eight are women and two men. Furthermore, I have divided them into two grou
The aim of this study is to get a better understanding of the Iranian regime. My theory is that the Iranian regime is a semi-dictatorship, based on the soul fact that semi-competetive elections take place. The main question this thesis tries to answer is what characterizes the political construction of the Iranian regime and by what means does it implement its political goals. In trying to answer
Title: How do music students with different genre backgrounds perceive the same music? In this paper I report a study about how music students with different genre background perceive the same music. I let twentyone classical music upper secondary school pupils and twentyone rock music upper secondary school pupils listen to ten short music pieces of different character and styles. While listening
This essay aims to examine and compare the attitudes of decision makers in the local government and representatives of pensioners in two different geographic areas. The main questions were: - their attitudes towards the "stay home principle" (kvarboendeprincipen, a principle that aims to make it possible for people with a handicap, disease or age to stay in their homes instead of moving
The area of intellectual property is an old form of protection that has constantly been forced to adapt itself to new technologies. The digital age has made this fact even more clear and has really put the thought of IP as a commodity to the test. There are those who claim that the concept of intellectual property is obsolete and needs to be replaced. The purpose of this thesis is to see whether o
The purpose of this study was to examine how preschool personnel view there role in connection with suspicions of child maltreatment according to chapter 14 § 1 Social Services Act and what eventually dilemma preschool personnel experience in connection to their mandatory report. A qualitative study was conducted and five preschool teachers and child minders complied. The interviews were analysed
When the law that allowed same-sex couples register as partners gained legal force, the possibility for being considered as adoptive parents also opened up. This raised the question of whether homosexuals should be treated differently during the adoption proceedings. In this essay we have chosen to investigate the adoption social workers perception regarding family and sexual orientation and how t
This paper assesses the democratic value brought to the European Union through the effect of the Lisbon Treaty. In doing so, it especially looks at how tendencies and theories presented in this Treaty can address criticism of a lacking EU democracy. The paper first details the so called democratic deficit debate, highlighting the five pillars in which the EU is often considered inadequate. Drawing
Tracking activities have lately been very popular in smartphones, which requires that the devices are able to classify activities correctly. Since this type of devices has limitations in both power consumption and computational performance, it is important to keep these factors to a minimum. Therefore, the low cost of the accelerometer sensor is a good platform to build a classification on. Althou
Det här arbetet undersöker tillgänglighet till miljöanpassad teknik i utvecklingsländer och hur tillgängligheten kan påverkas av det patenträttsliga systemet. Spridning av miljöanpassad teknik har länge ansetts vara en viktig komponent för stävjandet av klimatförändringar. Det här har föranlett en debatt inom ramen för internationella forum kopplade till Klimatkonventionen och TRIPS. Frågan som This paper investigates the availability of environmentally sound technology in developing countries and how the availability can be affected by patent law. Availability of environmentally sound technologies has for a long time been considered important as a mean to prevent climate change. This has led to a debate, both within UNFCCC and TRIPS, about what role patent rights play for the availabi
Background: As the conflict crisis in the Middle East and West Asia has elevated, simultaneously has Sweden seen a higher level of immigration. Among these groups of people are women who are both physically and emotionally affected. Integrating their old cultural values into the new cultural values often creates problems. However, at present there are not many studies showing how these women exper
Today's security cameras typically capture either color images based on visible light or grayscale images based on both visible and near-infrared (NIR) light. This means that the performance is limited in situations where it is unclear which kind of image to capture. At dusk, for example, the visible light may not be sufficient to capture good-quality color images. On the other hand, capturing
The purpose of this ethnographic study was to examine the conceptions and challenges people deal with that work among the disability community in the country of Georgia. I have analyzed my empiric material through the theoretical framework of stigma and normality, but also through a cultural perspective. My focus was to discover how disabled people are viewed in Georgia, as well as how they view t
Den 1 januari år 2004 infördes i svensk rätt möjligheten att bilda tredimensionella fastigheter. Detta innebar en stor principiell förändring i svensk fastighetsrätt. Från att som tidigare endast kunna avgränsas i markplanet kan en fastighet nu bestå av en sluten volym, en tredimensionell fastighet. En förutsättning för att bilda en tredimensionell fastighet är att det står klart att åtgärden är January 1, 2004, a new law in Sweden made it possible to form three-dimensional real property units. This was a fundamental change in Swedish real estate law. Before, real property could only be defined in the horizontal plane but can now be defined both horizontally and vertically, making it possible for real property to consist of a closed volume rather than just an area. A prerequisite to form
The complement system can be activated by three different pathways in the body. It is wanted to be able to detect deficiencies of these activation pathways and Bioporto A/S has acquired the commercial rights to a set of ELISA based assays. There is a need in these commercial assays for optimisation of dilution and wash buffers since the idea with the ELISA kit is to sell it as a “ready-to-use kit”
En viktig komponent i vårt moderna samhälle är plaster och användandet av detta material ökar. Plaster skapas av komponenter som extraheras från petroleum, ett icke-förnybart fossilt bränsle. För en hållbar framtid måste användandet av petroleum minska. Alternativ till petroleum-baserade plaster är bio-plaster. Bioraffinaderier använder idag mindre än 20 % av biomassan för etanolproduktion, överskBioplastics are a promising alternative for petroleum-based plastics that today is on high demand in our contemporary lifestyles. They are made from biopolymers such as polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs). Producing biopolymers from waste material feedstock using microbes increases profitability and environmental benefits as well as sustainability for biorefineries. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a robust m
