Studien är en granskning av språk och beteende hos kockar i svensk televisions matlagningsprogram. Vi undersöker kockarnas sätt att laga mat, deras språk och hur de presenteras utifrån sitt kön. Studieobjektets relevans styrks, av att TV-mediet spelar en stor roll i västerländsk kultur och då matlagning i hemmet alltid har setts som kvinnans roll medan mannen har fått rollen som kock på den prof
Social worker is a profession with an increased risk of being exposed to threat and violence on the workplace. In this study we investigated the occurrence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in a sample of 60 social workers. We also investigated the types and frequency of threats exposed by this group and whether social workers with varying levels of PTSD symptoms reported significantly highe
Formula Student is an international inter-universities competition about designing and building a single-seater racing car. One of the most important parts in a car is the suspension system, from the tires to the shock absorbers. This Master Thesis’ report goes through all these parts, looking to theory, different design options, the constraints (rules, economical, packaging, etc) and the final de
The main purpose of the project has been to find the root cause to the failure of a machine component used to secure some vital parts (later on referred to as the pins) of a packing machine. It was already known that the failure had to do with fatigue, but the actual mechanisms were quite unknown. Measurements on the components did not indicate forces that should lead to failure. The components of
This report is a result of a Master thesis that was carried out at Dresser Wayne AB and at the Division of Machine Design at the Department of Design Sciences LTH. The thesis was written as a product development report and essentially follows the method described by Ulrich and Eppinger found in the publication Product Design and Development. The objective of the Master Thesis was to design and bui
This master’s thesis has been written by Patrik Werius at the Department of Machine Design at the Faculty of Engineering, LTH, at Lund University. It has been part of a research project which is dealing with the development of a construction system. This construction system is a new concept for assembling the cabin of a Volvo truck. The focus of this master’s thesis is on the connection between th
This master thesis was performed at Lund Institute of Technology and Dresser Wayne Pignone, Malmö. It aims to achieve two new design concepts for fuel dispensers, which is Dresser Wayne’s main business area. The dispenser, Global Star, which was to be redesigned is a C-style model and should remain so, i.e. have the hoses located on one side of the hydraulic cabinet. This cabinet fits the hydrauli
Kunskapshanteringssystem är idag en integral del i den moderna organisationen. Då åtta av de tjugo mest besökta webbplatserna 2009 var relaterade till sociala nätverk, utformades uppsatsen till att försöka utröna huruvida wiki och intranät bidrar till en öppnare kunskapshantering, där organisationens anställda inte är helt bundna till det interna systemet. Ett teoretiskt ramverk presenteras, där f
A significant part of IS systems implemented today introduce a mandatory use environment for their users, where daily tasks and responsibilities are dependent on or even impossible without the use of a specific system. This paper focuses on examining the relevance, importance and potential effects of user satisfaction in these kinds of environments, with the purpose of contributing to this previou
The new Discrimination Act (2008:567) entered into force on 1 January 2009 and it is now illegal to discriminate a person based on age in Sweden. Earlier discrimination legislation had no rules regarding age but following the implementation of Directive 2000/78/EC Employment Framework came a comprehensive legislation on discrimination which contained the ban against discrimination on grounds of ag
Infant and child mortality is the best indicator to examine the health status of the children in a society. It is also an important index to evaluate the socio-economic development. High level of infant and child mortality means poor government policies for improving the nation’s health and discourages the socio-economic development. This indicates the poor health status of its nation and becomes
A current growth in the field of information technology is certainly innovative in nature. In size and ease of access, knowledge and information are growing. Prospect decision makers in many fields will be accessible with extraordinary new tools for growth. In fields like health, agriculture, human resources, education and business improvement, transport or environmental improvement the consequenc
Det finns ett ökat intresse av att använda Open Source Enterprise Resource Planning (OS-ERP) system inom organisationer idag. En viktig del avutvecklingen av informationssystem är ta fram en kravkontext som tillfredsställer intressenterna i systemet. Kravhanteringen spelar därför en viktig roll för produktresultatet. Kravhantering är dock en mångfacetterad process, och kan bero på många olika fakt
Då mobila system utvecklas, finns det ett antal aspekter som bör tas hänsyn till i denna process, för att den mobile användaren ska få ett så komplett verktyg som möjligt att arbeta med. I vår studie har vi, med utgångspunkt ifrån Task Closure Theory, studerat huruvida ett mobilt system behöver kompletteras med stödjande teknik. Vi har i denna uppsats undersökt aspekten om support technologies (st
To travel with public transport and at the same time have a pleasant and relaxed journey is not a guarantee. Stress, insecurity and confusion can strike everyone, with or without disabilities. A political goal says that Sweden should have an accessible society in 2010. Some tools that can be used to reach this goal are design and architecture, but there is not much time left. In my role as a desig
Studiens syfte är att undersöka hur SJs strategi implementeras genom operationell målstyrning samt fastställa eventuella brister i länken mellan strategi och målstyrning.
Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur teorin The Leadership Pipeline kan tillämpas för att förstå chefsflödet i en matrisorganisation. Det kommer därför att ske en prövning om hur väl teorin går att applicera i en matrisorganisation och om den behöver utvecklas för att passa in. Uppsatsen har använt sig av en kvalitativ metod där sju respondenter från fallföretaget Ericsson Mobile Platforms (E
Syftet med uppsatsen är att utveckla en djupare förståelse för företagens drivkrafter kring sökmotormarknadsföringen, identifiera trenderna för den fortsatta utvecklingen samt dess bakomliggande faktorer. Genom en kvalitativ forskningsansats har en fallstudie av fem framgångsrika företag inom både sökmotoroptimering och sponsrade länkar gjorts. Detta föregicks av en förstudie av en marknadsstrateg
The purpose of this paper is to examine if, and under what conditions, democracy promotes education. The investigation is based on theoretical models where the level of income, income inequality and ethnical fractionalization are assumed to affect the impact democracy has on the level of education in a country. Based on panel data, regression analyses are performed with the level of education as t
This study iams to show how the non-governmental organisation Doctors Without Borders represent people in suffering and distress in 2009. The three photographs chosen are located on a photo blog called "Voices from the field" on the organisation's international web page. The basis for the analysis is a hypothesis that these represented narratives can be interpreted as having a moral
