Many of the coastal areas in Vietnam have elevations below one meter making them vulnerable to salt water intrusion, flooding, and erosion. The Red River Delta (RRD) located in northern Vietnam has suffered severe erosion along certain stretches of coastline during at least the last hundred years. At Hai Hau Beach in the RRD, a land area of 16 km in length and 2.5 km in width has been lost during

Chinese Remainder Theorem is used to solving problems in computing, coding and cryptography. In computing we can compute with shorter numbers instead of large numbers and this will make the computing-process faster and easier. In coding it can be used for error-searching and error-regulating. Cryptography means that we can send a coded message and that no one will be able to read it without the d

The world is getting smaller - or bigger -some will argue. Not many geographical spots are untouched, and international brands are known all over the world. It has become easier, and increasingly attractive for Trans National Corporations from countries with strong economies to relocate, out source or establish new branches less wealthy countries in the East, often portrayed as beneficial to all p

This thesis provides a useful open source system for generating motion sequences for the AIBO ERS-7 robot. For this purpose a virtual ERS-7 robot and a corresponding virtual environment have been implemented. All motions are simulated by means of a physics engine, and several useful features have been implemented, in order to allow development of motion sequences as well as exporting of them to th

There were certain behaviours that were more or less correct during the 1950´s Cold War. Men had their fixed positions in society and women theirs. Men were the breadwinners and women were house makers. (McEnany, 52) Single men could easily become homosexuals or go to prostitutes and it was the women´s duty to tame those wild men. It was women´s obligation to make sure that their men were satisfie

Arbetslivet är just nu i ett stadium där individualitet, medbestämmande och lärande i organisationer eftersöks. Men för att detta skall nås krävs en växelverkan mellan det medvetna och omedvetna. Detta omöjliggörs i och med dagens medvetandecentrering samt det kollektiva omedvetnas makt över individens strävan att finna det personligt omedvetna. Syftet med mitt arbete är att med en uppsättning re

The expression ?information literacy? is not a new one but it has never been as pertinent and essential as today. Information literacy is however not some

This study aims to investigate expressive writing in young adolescents, based on the model constructed by J.W. Pennebaker. Qualitative analysis of written essays has been conducted, the main purpose being exploring descriptions of relationships and expressions of emotions.

Den här studien har genomförts för att undersöka hur en gitarrlektion fungerar över internet och hur den upplevs av dess användare. Undersökningen har genomförts genom att jag och två av mina gitarrelever har utforskat två olika gitarrhemsidor. Vi har tagit lektioner från dessa sidor. Där visas materialet genom video, ljud och med eller utan tabulatur. Därefter har mina elever intervjuats där de b

Hur varierar proteinsammansättningen i ölet genom ölbryggninsprocessen och hur stor skillnad är det mellan kornmalterna. Syftet med mitt examensarbete var att se hur proteinsammansättningen förändrades under olika steg av en ölbryggningsprocess. Proteinsammansättningen delades in i 3 grupper: 1) albuminer och globuliner, 2) hordeiner och 3) gluteliner. Dessa protein jämfördes mellan 2 sorters

Bemanningsbranschen har på två år, från 2004 till 2006, nästan fördubblat sin omsättning i Sverige och prognosen ser mycket lovande ut även för framtiden. Då bemanningsbranschen omfattar fler och fler arbetstagare för varje år som går, betyder det att det blir allt vanligare att personer arbetar på, eller har arbetat på, ett bemanningsföretag under en period. Det vi har undersökt är: Vilka omständ

This thesis rests on the theory and methodology of discourse theory. By viewing social reality as constituted by discourses, meanings that are taken for granted can be challenged.

Discourse theory is applied to s

Då media spelar en allt större roll i våra vardagliga liv, med förebilder och yrkesval som inspirerar och influerar oss är det viktigt att se hur dessa framställs. Vi har valt att närmare granska två populära serier i tv som båda delar sjukhustema. Dessa är Grey's Anatomy och House, båda amerikanska produktioner med mångmiljonpublik i hemlandet och som just nu visas i svensk tv. Serierna behan
