Syftet med mitt arbete har varit att fördjupa förståelsen av hur en del av den dolda prostitutionen kan gestalta sig, samt att ”ge röst” åt en grupp kvinnor som prostituerar sig och därmed också problematisera bilden av ”den prostituerade kvinnan” samt den heterosexuella normen. Jag har använt mig av en kvalitativ metod baserad på intervjuer med sex kvinnor som alla är verksamma inom prostitution på en och samma klinik i Köpenhamn. I analysen av kvinnornas berättelser använder jag mig av en jämförelse mellan två perspektiv på prostitution, dels ett inifrånperspektiv vilket representeras av kvinnorna själva, dels av ett utifrånperspektiv representerat av framförallt tidigare svensk forskning kring prostitution. I min undersökning och mina tolkningar av kvinnornas berättelser kommer jag fram till att kvinnornas medverkan på prostitutionsarenan kan förstås som ett uttryck för motstånd. Ett motstånd vilket jag tolkar som riktat mot den heterosexuella normen med allt vad den inkluderar.

A main aim with the essay “Constructive and destructive forms of language communication in modern work organizations” is to try to develop methods which can be used to measure and classify different forms of language communication. Methods that hopefully also can be used for analysis of in which ways dominating language communication forms affects employees health in modern work organizations.Quantitative methods have chiefly been used in the essay. A questionnaire study based on sociological research and psychoterapeutic research and practice has been used to collect data around communication in two work organizations (community health centers). Then communication has been classified in two main forms: constructive and destructive language communication.Results in the essay indicate that there are tendencies to links between high illness-absence and destructive communication in a work organization. In the work organization with the highest illness-absence, during a chosen period of inquiry (2005), a larger share of the employees stated that the communications in their organization were destructive, compared to the employees in the organization which showed the lowest illness-absence. Statistically secured links between high illness-absence and destructive communication have however not been observed.

This project is based on Artificial Intelligence (A.I) and Digital Image processing (I.P) for automatic condition monitoring of sleepers in the railway track. Rail inspection is a very important task in railway maintenance for traffic safety issues and in preventing dangerous situations. Monitoring railway track infrastructure is an important aspect in which the periodical inspection of rail rolling plane is required.Up to the present days the inspection of the railroad is operated manually by trained personnel. A human operator walks along the railway track searching for sleeper anomalies. This monitoring way is not more acceptable for its slowness and subjectivity. Hence, it is desired to automate such intuitive human skills for the development of more robust and reliable testing methods. Images of wooden sleepers have been used as data for my project. The aim of this project is to present a vision based technique for inspecting railway sleepers (wooden planks under the railway track) by automatic interpretation of Non Destructive Test (NDT) data using A.I. techniques in determining the results of inspection.

The current paper presents a study conducted at The National Museum of Science and Technology in Stockholm to investigate the exhibition “Antarctica – that’s cool” from its first concept to the first workshop that is held in the exhibition. The focus is on the influence of floor staff on an exhibition and workshops as learning facilities in museums. Findings, based on visitor observation and the exhibition building process, go into the characteristics of low-budget productions and discuss the importance of staff on the exhibition floor for museums as life-long learning facilities. The holistic approach of the study provides deep insights into the complex interplay of visitors, staff and exhibitions. The results can be used for future exhibition building processes and educational programs in museums and should strengthen the museum’s position as life-long learning facility in nowadays society.

The purpose of this study was to investigate pupils’ knowledge about science and what role science center is playing as a medium of communication to increase knowledge among students. This study also tried to find out pupils’ interaction: how they use science center as a source of scientific information, what they learn from their visit to a science center, their pattern of communication with it. This project also measured attraction, holding and learning power of exhibits of the science center at Dalarna University in Borlänge and learning power of planetarium program and slide show of Stella Nova Planetarium at Dalarna University.The subjects of this study consisted of students of class seven and eight and teachers of an urban school in Borlänge, Sweden. To find out students’ learning in a science center a pre and post visit test were conducted through questionnaires. Interview method by questionnaires was also used to explore pupils’ interaction with science center.The results of this study show that students learn by their visit to a science center but learning was not statistically significant (0.05).Girls learnt better than boys. School classes that have better pre-knowledge about science before a visit to a science center learnt worse than other classes having less pre-knowledge. Girls and boys interact with a science center in different ways. Science center is playing important role as a science communicator.

The current paper presents a study conducted at At-Bristol Science Centre, UK. It is a front-end evaluation for the “Live Science Zone” at At-Bristol, which will be built during the autumn of 2004. It will provide a facility for programmed events and shows, non-programmed investigative activities and the choice of passive or active exploration of current scientific topics. The main aim of the study is to determine characteristics of what kind of techniques to use in the Live Science Zone. The objectives are to explore what has already been done at At-Bristol, and what has been done at other science centres, and to identify successful devices. The secondary aim is mapping what sorts of topics that visitors are actually interested in debating. The methods used in the study are deep qualitative interviews with professionals working within the field of science communication in Europe and North America, and questionnaires answered by visitors to At-Bristol. The results show that there are some gaps between the intentions of the professionals and the opinions of the visitors, in terms of opportunities and willingness for dialogue in science centre activities. The most popular issue was Future and the most popular device was Film.

The goal of primary science education is to foster children’s interest, develop positive science attitudes and promote science process skills development. Learning by playing and discovering provides several opportunities for children to inquiry and understand science based on the first–hand experience. The current research was conducted in the children’s laboratory in Heureka, the Finnish science centre. Young children (aged 7 years) which came from 4 international schools did a set of chemistry experiments in the laboratory. From the results of the cognitive test, the pre-test, the post-test, supported by observation and interview, we could make the conclusion that children enjoyed studying in the laboratory. Chemistry science was interesting and fascinating for young children; no major gender differences were found between boys and girls learning in the science laboratory. Lab work not only encouraged children to explore and investigate science, but also stimulated children’s cognitive development.

This is a study conducted at, and for, the National Museum of History in Stockholm. The aim of the study was to confirm or disconfirm the hypothesis that visitors in a traditional museum environment might not take part in interactivity in an interactive exhibition. And if they do the visitors might skip the texts and objects on display. To answer this and other questions a multiple method was used. Both non participant observations and exit interviews were conducted. After a description of the interactive exhibits, theory of knowledge and learning is presented before the gathered data is presented. All together 443 visitors were observed. In the observations the visitors were timed on how much time they spent in the room, the time spent on the interactivity, texts and objects. In the 40 interviews information about visitors’ participation in the interactivity was gathered. What interactivity the visitor found easiest, hardest, funniest and most boring.The result did not confirm the hypothesis. All kinds of visitors, children and adults, participated in the interactivities. The visitors took part in the texts and objects and the interactive exhibits.

Vittnesmål är en vanlig form av bevis i rättegångar och spelar ofta en avgörande roll för utgången av brottmål. Studier har visat att fullständigheten och tillförlitligheten av vittnesmål påverkas av ledande frågor och längden på retentionsintervall. Syftet med föreliggande studie var att undersöka ledande frågor och retentionsintervallets påverkan på minnesprestation. Ett filmklipp visades för försöksdeltagare som omedelbart efter filmen eller efter 48 timmar svarade på en enkät bestående av icke-ledande eller ledande frågor om filmens innehåll. Resultaten visade att vilseledande frågor resulterade i sämre minnesprestation än icke-ledande frågor. Längden på retentionsintervall påverkade inte minnesprestation. Resultaten diskuterades främst utifrån tidigare forskning.

Since last two decades researches have been working on developing systems that can assistsdrivers in the best way possible and make driving safe. Computer vision has played a crucialpart in design of these systems. With the introduction of vision techniques variousautonomous and robust real-time traffic automation systems have been designed such asTraffic monitoring, Traffic related parameter estimation and intelligent vehicles. Among theseautomatic detection and recognition of road signs has became an interesting research topic.The system can assist drivers about signs they don’t recognize before passing them.Aim of this research project is to present an Intelligent Road Sign Recognition System basedon state-of-the-art technique, the Support Vector Machine. The project is an extension to thework done at ITS research Platform at Dalarna University [25]. Focus of this research work ison the recognition of road signs under analysis. When classifying an image its location, sizeand orientation in the image plane are its irrelevant features and one way to get rid of thisambiguity is to extract those features which are invariant under the above mentionedtransformation. These invariant features are then used in Support Vector Machine forclassification. Support Vector Machine is a supervised learning machine that solves problemin higher dimension with the help of Kernel functions and is best know for classificationproblems.

Cykeln har på senare år fått en allt större roll inom transportpolitiska sammanhang. Det finns ettintresse att öka användningen av cykel, framförallt av miljö- och hälsoskäl. Därmed finns detockså ett intresse för att kartlägga cykelvägar på samma sätt bilvägar är kartlagda. Om Sverigescykelvägar fanns samlade i en databas skulle utveckling och underhåll förenklas. Det skulle ävenvara möjligt att ta fram informationstjänster som t.ex. ruttplanering för cykelvägnätet.Målet med det här arbetet var att utveckla en applikation för att kartlägga cykelbanor.Applikationen skulle kunna köras på en PC under Windows XP. Koordinater skulle hämtas frånen GPS-enhet ansluten till datorn och plottas på en karta. Insamlade koordinater skulle ävenkunna omvandlas till noder och länkar för att beskriva vägnätets utsträckning och logiskakopplingar. Projektet genomfördes i samarbete med WM-data.WM-data tillhandahöll ett antal färdiga moduler för uppritning av karta samt hantering avdatabas och GPS-enhet. Problemet kunde grovt delas i tre sektioner; utveckla användargränssnittför applikationen, integrera tillhandahållna moduler i applikationen och utveckla den internalogiken för hantering av länkar och noder. Uppgifterna löstes mer parallellt än sekventiellt.Resultat blev ett program där de tre huvudfunktionerna från användarperspektivet är starta/stoppakartläggning samt upprätta kopplingspunkt (nod). Den applikation som utvecklades under det härprojektets gång har möjliggjort kartläggning av cykelbanor, och det finns ett flertal alternativ förvidareutveckling.

Skillnader mellan förstfödda och senarefödda är ett vanligt undersökningsobjekt, där välkända stereotyper finns. Förstfödda anses vara mer målinriktade, konservativa, ansvarstagande och kravfyllda, medan senarefödda ofta påstås vara tvungna att bryta mönster och är därför mer rebelliska och öppna för nya erfarenheter. Syftet med föreliggande studie var att undersöka syskonplaceringens påverkan på sättet att attribuera orsakerna till händelser och prestationer. Rotters locus of control-skala användes i en Internetbaserad enkät, till vilken en öppen annonsering nyttjades. Studien använde en inomfamiljsdesign och begränsandes till att omfatta en traditionell kärnfamilj med biologiska föräldrar och enbart helsyskon. Hypotesen att förstfödda oftare än senarefödda styrs av inre locus of control kunde godtas. Resultatet visades i första hand gälla förstfödda män. Resultaten tros till största delen bero på föräldrarnas uppfostringsstil och olika ansvarsfördelning mellan syskon.
