<p>Emotionell intelligens (EI) handlar om förmågan att identifiera och hantera egna och andras emotioner. Forskning har visat att hög EI var relaterat till flera livsområden såsom hälsa i form av mindre stress och kvalité på sociala relationer. Studien syftade till att undersöka samband mellan EI och följande: social förmåga, ensamhet och balans mellan studier/fritid hos sammanlagt 141 högskolestuderande. Mätinstrumentet var kvantitativt bestående av Internetbaserade Big Five Plus (L. Sjöberg, 2007) samt en pappersenkät. Resultat visade samband mellan social förmåga-, ensamhet- och EI. Studenter med hög EI hade bättre social förmåga och upplevde mindre ensamhet. Resultatet kan bidra till större medvetenhet om livssituation och bättre hantering av sociala relationer.</p>

The diploma thesis deals with the issue of the family environment of a younger school-age child. The aim of the presented diploma thesis is to provide an insight into the life of a younger school-age child. The thesis is divided into the theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part focuses in individual chapters on the topics related to family, education and leisure time, where the emphasis is placed on problematic, clinical and different families. The practical work gives insight into three families with an early school-age child through qualitative research methods (especially case studies and interviewing). In the practical part, I look for answers to questions about family values, spending leisure time, educational methods and lifestyle.

La presente tesis buscó analizar y aplicar herramientas de productividad y mejora en el proceso de ensamblaje de mangueras hidráulicas en la empresa Contix S.A. La propuesta de mejora continua tuvo como objetivos: reducir los tiempos de entrega del producto final del proceso de ensamblaje; analizar, identificar y mejorar las demoras en los tiempos de operación, proponer una adecuada distribución de planta y minimizar las fallas de las máquinas. Además, se utilizó técnicas de ingeniería, como por ejemplo; diagrama de actividades, diagrama de flujo, diagrama de recorrido. También el estudio de tiempo es fundamental para establecer los tiempos necesarios para cada operación. Con estos métodos y herramientas de ingeniería se logró cumplir con el tiempo de entrega de los productos ensamblados y tener una distribución de planta ordenada que permitió una mayor fluidez de los operarios y del producto. Como resultado más importante se obtuvo un aumento en la productividad de 52%, consiguiendo reducir el tiempo de entrega del producto. Por consiguiente, aumentando la satisfacción del cliente. The following thesis seeks to analyze and apply productivity tools, in order to improve the assembly process of hydraulic hoses in the Company Contix S.A. The improvement proposal continue aims to reduce the delivery time of the final product of the assembly process; analyze, identify and improve the delays in the operation times. To propose an appropriate distribution of plant and to minimize the machines’ failures. In addition, engineering techniques will be used, such as; Activity Diagram (UML), Flow Diagram (or Flowchart), Circuit Diagram. It is also crucial the Study of time for determining the time required for each operation. These methods and engineering tools will allow to comply with the assembled products’ delivery time and also have an orderly distribution plant allowing greater fluidity of operators and product. As the most important result, an improved productivity of 52% will be achieved, reducing the delivery time of the product. As a result, the increase of customer satisfaction.

Graphs are used to model a wide range of systems from different disciplines including social network analysis, biology, and big data processing. When analyzing these constantly changing dynamic graphs at a high frequency, performance is the main concern. Depending on the graph size and structure, update frequency, and read accesses of the analysis, the use of different data structures can yield great performance variations. Even for expert programmers, it is not always obvious, which data structure is the best choice for a given scenario. In previous work, we presented an approach for handling the selection of the most efficient data structures automatically using a compile-time approach well-suited for constant workloads. We extend this work with a measurement study of seven data structures and use the results to fit actual cost estimation functions. In addition, we evaluate our approach for the computations of seven different graph metrics. In analyses of real-world dynamic graphs with a constant workload, our approach achieves a speedup of up to 5.4× compared to basic data structure configurations. Such a compile-time based approach cannot yield optimal results when the behavior of the system changes later and the workload becomes non-constant. To close this gap we present a run-time approach which provides live profiling and facilitates automatic exchanges of data structures during execution. We analyze the performance of this approach using an artificial, non-constant workload where our approach achieves speedups of up to 7.3× compared to basic configurations.
