iProspect is a global digital marketing agency and work primarily with search marketing. They were the first search engine marketing agency in the world when the company started up 1996 in Boston, Massachusetts, and the first in Sweden to offer services in search marketing after establishing themselves on the Swedish market the following year. iProspect can be found in the södermalm office in south central Stockholm. They are a comprehensive agency within search and offer everything from search engine optimization and sponsored links to advertising on social media. They’re goal is to lead developments in search marketing and to keep ahead of competition. To do this they must constantly challenge themselves. The market is constantly evolving and new services are offered regularly. This report describes the development of a design document for a mobile application for increased knowledge and for sharing knowledge about a new service from iProspect . The service in question, attribution, is already sold today by iProspect in markets abroad and the ambition is to do so also in Sweden as soon as there are resources in the form of "know-how". The draft design document should evolve to include their employees with increased knowledge of how attribution can be applied as a service. During the execution of this work, interviews, usability tests with prototypes and observations were made and conducted. Based on the methodology and the work process, the results have been analyzed and discussed. Hopefully the application will be of use prior the implementation process of the new service.

Den här rapporten beskriver ett examensarbete som har genomförts på uppdrag av Jordbruksverket i Jönköping. Uppdraget handlar om att ta fram en prototyp av en e-tjänst för överklagningar med fokus på användbarhet mot användaren. Jordbruksverket är en statlig myndighet som arbetar med att uppfylla de övergripande målen för jordbruks- och livsmedelspolitiken i Sverige. En av Jordbruksverkets huvuduppgifter är att administrera de EU-stödpengar som betalas ut i samband med lantbrukssysslor. Jordbruksverket har funnit problem i överklagningar som kommer från lantbrukare som vill överklaga olika beslut. Överklagningarna är inte alltid helt kompletta vilket kräver mer arbete och tid för handläggningen av dem. Jordbruksverket vill därför undersöka möjligheten att införa en e-tjänst för att skicka in överklagningar. E-tjänsten ska kunna guida en användare igenom en överklagning så att den blir så korrekt och komplett som möjligt. Eftersom användarna har olika erfarenheter av att överklaga och med datorer har syftet med studien varit att utveckla en prototyp av en e-tjänst som ska fokusera på användbarhet mot användarna. Den huvudsakliga frågeställningen är: Hur kan man utveckla en användbar e-tjänst med avseende på grafiskt och funktionellt gränssnitt mot användarna? Målet med studien är att ta fram en prototyp på en e-tjänst utefter uppdragsgivarens krav och arbetets forskning på teorier kring användbarhet. Genomförandet av arbetet har till största delen följt Jordbruksverkets arbetsprocess. Olika delmoment har varit planering, kravframtagning i form av effektkedja och användningsfall, utveckling av prototypen och visning/utvärdering av prototyp hos Jordbruksverket. Studien har resulterat i en prototyp av e-tjänst för överklagningar som har utvecklats med stöd från underlaget av kravframtagningen och forskningen kring användbarhet. Resultaten visar på hur olika delar av prototypen kan se ut med en utveckling som fokuserar på teori om användbarhet. En slutsats av arbetet är att studier och teorier kring användbarhet är viktiga vid utformning av webbsidor. Detta för att webbsidan blir utformad på ett sätt som ökar förståelsen om hur användaren ska använda den. / This report describes an examination project that has been performed at the Swedish Board of Agriculture in Jönköping. The task was to develop a prototype of an e-service to appeals with focus on usability. The Swedish Board of Agriculture is a public authority who works to fulfil the general goals of agricultural and food policy in Sweden. One of their main tasks is to administrate EU funding to the agricultural sector. However, they have noticed problems with appeals from agriculturalist who wants to appeal different decisions to their agriculture. The appeals aren’t always complete and it takes more work and time to handle them. Swedish Board of Agriculture wants to investigate the possibility to introduce an e-service for appeals. The e-service will guide a user through an appeal and ask about necessary information to make the appeal as correct and complete as possible. The users have different experiences of appealing and computer usage and therefore the purpose of this study have been to develop a prototype of an e-service that will focus on the usability. The main research question is: How can you develop a usable e-service with consideration to graphical and functional interface to the users? The goal with this study is to develop a prototype of an e-service that follows the requirements from Swedish Board of Agriculture and the research for the study on usability. The project has followed Swedish Board of Agricultures working process. Different steps has been planning, specification of requirements, develop a prototype and evaluation of the prototype. The study has resulted in a prototype of an e-service for appeals that has been developed with support from specifications of requirements and the research about usability. The result shows different parts of how the prototype can look like with a development focus on theories about usability. A conclusion of this work is that studies and theories about usability are important when you are developing web pages. This is because the web page is being designed to increase the understanding for users on how to use it. Usability is necessary to consider such that a developer does not make any assumptions about the users experience about Internet usage.

The health care sector is one of the most information-intensive institutions in Sweden. Big investments in information technology have been made to ensure efficiency and quality within organisations in health care. This has led to high requirements in documentation and resulted in an increase in administration which gradually more often is done by nurses and doctors. A major problem is that it is difficult to gain access to the information recorded in all the different systems, which is their objective. This causes double documentation instead of being a support in follow-up performance.   This study investigates the use of a central warehouse to enhance how people work with statistics at a clinic. The purpose of the project was to identify need and issues surrounding the clinical internal statistic of the Department of Neurosurgery and then give an improvement proposal in the form of a prototype software tool. During the project a requirement analysis in the form of interviews and observations in the clinic was carried out and the project team could identify users, systems, artefacts and information needs were identified. The result of this work is a prototype which was developed in a user-centered process, where contact with the IT-department (e-Hälsa) provided opportunities for access to data. The project has contributed a survey of the clinic where information- and functional needs about administrative statistics have been compiled and are the basis for a prototype that demonstrates a possible concept for recording and monitoring.

This thesis deals with the analysis of coaxial cavity filters and synthesis of generic topology of these filters. Transfer function comes out the synthesis, which is based on low-pass prototype and similarity with real structure. The next aim of this thesis is to build the basic software for coaxial cavity filters synthesis from engaged characteristic parameters of the filter. This work also includes the analysis of coupling matrix synthesis based on transfer function, where we can use direct coupling or cross-coupling between resonators. The last point is focused on the diplexer filter based on specified parameters and obtained coupling matrix. Entire diplexer model is optimized using Tuning-Space Mapping method.

The doctoral thesis introduces a study of possibilities for utilization of virtual reality technology in risk analysis and safety of production machines. The main goal of the thesis is to analyse and examine possible means of integrating visualization and interaction techniques of virtual reality into the risk identification process in the early stage of the production machine life cycle. The proposed work provides a methodological approach to the theoretical implementation of these techniques in the definition of dangerous areas of a machine, identification of sources of possible risks and verification of applied measures built-in in the machine structure. A system approach is used for forming and optimizing the introduced methodological procedures. The solution includes the design of the methodology for effective transfer of 3D design data into immersion virtual reality domain. This enables overcoming existing barriers in exploitation of virtual reality technologies in industrial applications. The next section introduces a procedure of implementation of real tools and equipment in immersion virtual reality domain, including an option for detection of collisions between the real tools and virtual objects. Experimental tests confirm its capability of practical utilization. The impact of the final practical contribution is shown by a decrease in the number of accidents during assembly work, due to its appropriate planning and thanks to training of the personnel on a virtual prototype, carried out already before the manufacturing of the actual machine. The result of the presented doctoral thesis contributes to further qualitative improvement of techniques and methods for preventive increase of safety and reliability of developed machines, particularly of machining centres, which will help increase their competitiveness. The properties of the designed procedures are documented and verified on real industrial cases.

Vid institutionen för tillämpad fysik och elektronik, Umeå universitet, bedrivs utbildning och forskning inom bland annat automation och robotik. Syftet med projektet är att skapa en robot där rapporten skall kunna användas för att förenkla framtida utlärningar inom de ämnen projektet tar upp. Projektets mål är att designa, skapa och programmera en saneringsrobotprototyp med hjälp av utvecklingsgränssnittet CODESYS. För att möjliggöra sanering används UVC-ljus. UVC är en kategori inom UV-ljus där endast ett spann av våglängder innefattas, vilka bevisats ha bakteriedödande effekt. Robotens design är ritad i CAD och är måttanpassad utefter den hårdvara som används. Vidare består robotens chassi av två plexiglasplattor som laserskärs med färdiga hålbilder. Chassit sätts ihop med hjälp av sex M6-gängstänger, vilket skapar två plan där komponenter kan skruvas fast i de laserskärda hålbilderna. Roboten använder sig av motorstyrningskort, servomotorer och mecanumhjul där styrning sker med hjälp av två stycken joysticks. Joysticksen i samband med teoretiska rörelseekvationer möjliggör omnidirektionell rörelse. Vidare används ett reläkort för styrning av både UVC-lampor och signallampa. Roboten programmeras i CODESYS som ett ”Function Block Diagram” (FBD) där en mängd nya programbibliotek blir implementerade. Genom användning av CODESYS visualiseringsverktyg skapas ett användargränssnitt som gör att roboten kan fjärrstyras via ett webbgränssnitt. Projektet uppnådde sju av åtta krav från kravspecifikationen vilka validerades via fem uppsatta testscenarion. Resultatet är en robot som kan styras i valfri riktning via WiFi genom exempelvis en smartphone. Reläets olika portar öppnas och stängs genom programmerade funktioner, knappar och en IR-sensor vars uppgift är att avläsa kroppslig värme. Vid fortsatt utveckling av roboten skulle en kamera kopplats in och använts i HMI-gränssnittet, vilket hade möjliggjort telestyrning. Fler styrningsalternativ hade också kunnat implementerats, exempelvis genom att lägga till en knapp som gör att roboten roterar 90 grader. / At the Department of Applied Physics and Electronics, at Umeå University, education and research are conducted in areas such as automation and robotics. The purpose of the project is to create a robot, where the report can be used to assist future learning within the subjects covered by the project. The goals of the project are to design, create and program a decontamination robot prototype using the development interface CODESYS. UVC-light will be used to achieve this sanitation. UVC is a category of UV light which includes a limited range of wavelengths, that have been shown to have bactericidal effect. The robot is designed in CAD using the measurements of the hardware used. Furthermore, the robot's chassis consists of two plexiglass plates that are laser cut according to predetermined hole patterns. The chassis is assembled using six M6 threaded rods. The design constitutes two levels onto which the components can be mounted. The driveline consists of motor control boards, servomotors and mecanum wheels. Two joysticks are used to control the steering of the robot. The joysticks in relation with theoretical equations enables omnidirectional motion. Furthermore, a relay card is used for controlling both UVC and the signal lamp. The robot is programmed in CODESYS as a "Function Block Diagram" (FBD) where several new program libraries are implemented. By using CODESYS’ visualization tool, a user interface is created where the robot can be remotely controlled via a web interface. Seven out of eight requirements were achieved in the project. The achieved requirements were all validated through five test scenarios. Furthermore, the robot can be steered in any direction via Wi-Fi through inter alia a smartphone. The various ports of the relay are controlled by programmed functions and buttons, which can be overridden in the case of body heat being detected by an IR sensor. If the robot were to be further developed, a camera could be connected and used in the HMI, which would have enabled distance remote control. Furthermore, several control options could have been implemented, for example a button that allows the robot to rotate 90 degrees.
