Inom forskningsområdet livslångt lärande är generations-överskridande lärande ett populärt tema och många projekt i Sverige och Europa organiseras för att skapa möten och lärande mellan generationer. Vad detta lärande innebär är sällan specificerat och syftet med denna uppsats är därför att ur ett pedagogiskt perspektiv undersöka generationsöverskridande lärande som koncept utifrån tidigare forskn

Många företag idag vill göra simuleringar i en dator innan de börjar bygga fysiska prototyper. Fördelen med detta är att det är billigare att simulera produkter än att bygga prototyper, och det går snabbare att göra ändringar.For the modeling language Modelica, there is no standard for the testing of Modelica models. In this thesis we investigate a new way to create and run tests by developing an external test authoring tool. Our tool was developed by first examining existing testing practices, and then trying to improve upon those by iteratively developing our tool. This was done while continuously performing user stu

Lotta Lotass Fjärrskrift is a work that makes use of three different media, a 50 meter long teleprinter strip and two filmed versions, distributed in cinemas and published on internet, which are portraying how the strip is made through a teleprinter. The purpose of this study is to investigate by the use of Lars Elleström’s theory of intermediality the different connections between the three diff

Bakgrund: Neglekt är ofta en kronisk invalidiserande komplikation efter stroke, som kännetecknas av omedvetenhet om stimuli på motsatt sida av kroppen eller utrymmet. Den är svår att identifiera i tidigt skede och anses vara ett allvarligt hinder för rehabilitering. Syfte: Syftet med denna studie var att belysa vilka krav som sjuksköterskor ställs inför för att identifiera och rehabilitera patient

Have you ever wondered why there are ribs on bottles or cans? Perhaps you can guess that ribs are applied to the packages because of some technical functions. In fact, ribs carry more value than you can imagine. According to the literature review and the research on 100 Swedish consumers, ribs have both pros and cons but the former surpasses the latter. Originated from the demand of preventing def

Tidigare forskning har visat att KBT behandling inte är verksamt när det gäller patienter med utmattningssyndrom, varken för att förbättra måendet eller förkorta sjukskrivningstiden. Föreliggande studie har undersökt om detta överensstämmer med hur en grupp yrkesverksamma KBT behandlare på primärvårdsnivå uppfattar resultatet av terapier med dessa patienter och hur detta kan förklaras. BehandlarnaPrevious research has shown that CBT treatment is not successful for patients with stressrelated exhaustion, neither to improve the wellbeing nor to shorten the sick leave. The study has examined if this is accurate to how a group of CBT-therapists on primary care level perceive the results of therapies with these patients and how this can be explained. The therapists have also described which int

APIer över HTTP anpassas sällan för olika klienters behov vilket medför krånglig kommunikation och reducerad prestanda. En API-gateway kan placeras mellan klienter och APIer för att åtgärda detta.This thesis investigates the benefits and complications around working with API (Application Programming Interface) gateways. When we say API gateway, we mean to proxy and potentially enhance the communication between servers and clients, such as browsers, by transforming the data. We do this by examining the underlying protocol HTTP/1.1 and the general theory regarding API gateways. An API gatew

This qualitative case study explores the empowering potentialities of clitoral reconstruction for mutilated women in Burkina Faso. In this developing country of sub-Saharan Africa, historical high prevalence rates of excision leave millions of women in the most physical and mental ill being. This, as a consequence, causes their marginalisation from the development process. The methodology is bond

A modern way of processing information is to do it in parallel. This Master Thesis conducts a case study of how to parallelize a streaming application on a highly parallel platform. This involves porting a real-world application, written in a stream processing language and compiled by tools, developed by the Embedded System Design research group at Lund University, onto a platform including an em
