This two years master's thesis in Library and Information science, examines how the implementation of new technical equipment can affect how staff in public libraries organize their work and activities in the library. One Swedish public library in specific is the subject of research in this thesis, which has been anonymized as Kvarntuna city library. The study takes place in the beginning of the implementation of RFID-technology in the library. RFID, which stands for Radio Frequency Identification, is supposed to make the handling with different types of media in the library more efficient and in connection with the implementation one wants to reorganize work and activities in the library to make it even more efficient and also create a modern library.The thesis' method is qualitative interviews with six members of the staff. The theoretical framework of the thesis is a sociocultural perspective, especially inspiered by Roger Säljö, a Swedish professor in pedagogical psychology.

Shopping for groceries often means that, as consumers, we travel to the grocery store ourselves, by ear, bike or on foot. At the store we pick out the groceries that we want, go the register and pay for them. During the last couple of years consumers in Sweden have been given the opportunity to let someone else select and transport the groceries to their home instead, so called home shopping. As this report is being written, the possibility to buy groceries this way is somewhat limited, but many forecasters believe that in the near future it will increase immensely. Because of the large volumes of groceries that are being transported, there is great transport work being done in the supply chain.

A query using telephone interviews of technology teachers teaching the course "Teknik, Människa, Samhälle", a core course of the technique programme at the swedish gymnasium..

Purpose: Corporations today see a greater responsibility towards society regarding the environmental impact of their actions, using available transportation options that are more eco-friendly can reduce this impact significantly. Martinsen and Björklund (2012) identifies a set of gaps between supply and demand of green logistics services. This paper aims to address what it is that affects the demand for these alternative solutions and what could be done to increase the usage of them, thereby decreasing this gap.Design/methodology/approach: A quantitative study with six Logistics Service Providers (LSP) and 24 companies that purchase transportation services, all operating in Sweden. Data is collected through semi-structured telephone interviews with people responsible for the purchasing of transports as well as key account managers within the service providing companies.Findings: Just as the LSP?s interviewed in this paper thought, the main focus of the transport buying companies are the costs.

Syfte: Att belysa transportbranschen ur ett genusperspektiv och då försöka tydliggöra varför en del flickor söker in på fordonsprogrammets transportutbildning. Metod: Vi har använt oss dels av den kvalitativa intervjun, dels av den kvantitativa enkätmetoden. Informanterna har varit elever på olika gymnasieskolor, gymnasielärare och personal som arbetar i transportbranschen. Resultat: Den faktor som påverkar eleverna, både pojkar och flickor, mest i sitt val är inställningen att lastbil det är något som män håller på med. De flickor som trots denna inställning väljer transport gör det pga ett stort intresse av lastbilar och av chaufförsjobbet..

This thesis is a product development project that was performed at Alfa Laval Tumba AB. In the past Alfa Laval have manufactured gas separators for engines where gas flows were cleaned from oil. A new business area for this kind of technology has shown to be the manufacturing industry where oil mist has to be separated from the vented air. Therefore a new and bigger design is needed to be able to handle the greater gas flows. A product like that would be a strong competitor on the market when the maintenance would be low in comparison to today?s equipment.During the project several concept suggestions were developed using customer interviews and research as input.

The progress in the field of technology is often described as massive and its development has had a great impact on the social development (Vetenskapsrådet, 2012). As a result of the digital evolution, there has been a change in the way customer and company interact (Normann, 2011). The traditional way for players to interact with each other required an interaction human to human (ibid), a mode of interaction that now can be replaced or supplemented by todays technology and often Internet-based solutions (Salomonson et al., 2013). These technological solutions, the technical interaction, are often referred to as self-service systems. These systems enables the customer to carry out the tasks previously performed by the company (Hilton and Hughes, 2013).

This thesis deals with the leisure-time reading of fourteen men with two different occupations, teachers of technology and directors of companies. The main reasons for writing the thesis are that very little is written about mens reading habits and also statistics that tell that mens reading decline regardless of educational level. The purpose has been to compare the reading and relations to literature between the two groups of men and to find out if any differences have to do with factors such as social background or age. The questions we have asked our collected data has been what, how and why the men read. We have tried not to investigate the work-related reading although we are aware of the difficulty in separating this from the leisure-time reading.

 Since the 28thof May the project to develop an internal Innovation Leadership Program (ILP)on Accenture has been running and came to an end in November the same year. The taskwas formed into a master thesis and given to two students at the Royal Institute ofTechnology in Sweden.Since the start the content and structure of the ILP has been established based on the resultsof a theoretical study, a gap analysis and an external and internal benchmarking. The theoreticalstudy focused on articles, books and lectures about innovation, creativity and pedagogy. Subjectssuch as leadership, motivation, reflection and coaching were studied as well, but in a smaller scale.The gap analysis consisted of eleven interviews with people from different career levels withinAccenture and the goal was to establish the view of innovation and creativity among the employees.The interviews also asked about the knowledge the participants had about Technology Lab in orderto get insight of how to improve their communication and cooperation with people in client projects.Internally a similar program was studied called Minority Leadership program, whom will not bedescribed further in this report, to get inspiration. The external benchmarking was conducted onStanford and was very successful.

Masteruppsats är ett resultat av det utvecklingsprojekt jag bedrev under 2009-2014 inom ramen för förarutbildningen som bedrivs på gymnasieskolans och vuxenutbildningens inriktning Transport. Arbetet ska ses i ljuset av den magisteruppsats jag skrev 2013, Förarutbildning och kunskapsbildning ? en studie om förarutbildningssystemet.Utvecklingsprojektets syfte var att undersöka om det var möjligt att nå djupare och mer varaktig kunskap, främst när det gäller de "mjukare" målen inom förarutbildningen: riskmedvetenhet, uppmärksamhet, nyfikenhet, erfarenhet och ödmjukhet. Alltså de kunskapsfält som inryms inom körkortsmålen tre och fyra: resande med bil i speciella sammanhang och personliga förutsättningar och målsättningar i livet.Uppsatsen beskriver mina tankar, försök och trevanden för att skapa djupare och mer varaktig kunskap hos eleverna än vad jag upplevde att den traditionella förarutbildningen gav. Utvecklingsprojektets exempel visar att det är möjligt och att framgången ligger i ett stort fokus på de "mjukare" kunskaperna - de generella kompetenserna - som ödmjukhet, reflektion, nyfikenhet, självverksamhet, m.fl.

The aim of this master's thesis is to study how the design of the music library space affects how it is used and its role as an arena for culture. This is done in form of a case study of Library 10 in Helsinki, a public library branch that specializes in music and information technology. The backdrop to the study is the changing context for cultural activity in the information society and the role of public libraries as public space and meeting place. By analyzing the distribution of space in the library, the distribution of functions and artefacts and the spatial use of the room, I interpret the ways in which this distributional logic produces a unique place for music and culture. I discuss the music library design in a space and place perspective, utilizing theoretical tools from cultural geography and the space theories of Henri Lefebvre.

SummaryAt the summer festivals and it?s campsites there are each year thousands of tents left behind. Last year, at the Peace and Love festival in Borlänge, 220 tons of garbage was left behind at the festival area, much of which is tents. 69% of festival goers have at some point left behind a tent on a festival campsite. Many of these tents is purchased very cheaply, for a single festival.

1januari 1994 infördes producentansvaret i Sverige, vilket syftar till att massaproducenter samt importörer, tillverkare och försäljare av wellpappförpackningar gemensamt skall se till att wellpappen återvinns. Producentansvaret stipulerar att minst 65% av wellpappen skall kunna återanvändas eller materialåtervinnas den 1:a januari 1997. 1 Sverige har redan denna procentsats överstigits och i dagens läge återvinns cirka 75% wellpapp.Inom handeln har system för återvinning av wellpapp funnits sedan 1970-talet. Ett fåtal butiker återvann wellpapp redan på 1950-talet. Under de senaste åren har systemet effektiviserats för att klara av insamling av allt mer wellpapp.

Hydroware Elevation Technology AB sells control and regulation equipment for hydraulic elevators. The company now wants to investigate the possibility of changing their present softstarters to frequency inverters to supply power to their pump engines. They also want to investigate the possibility of future use in so called ?intelligent? houses.The purpose of this report is to investigate these possibilities..
