Quality is the key to a well executed product or service. The construction industry hasn?t highlighted the quality in recent times which have contributed to the construction industry receiving much criticism in the field. The public sees it as an offhanded industry where errors and delays are common.The reason for this is considered to be primarily the lack of time, constant pressure to reduce costs and skills and the ability to communicate between the parties about what the correct quality really means. The industry has begun to realize that it must start setting clearer standards and that there are great opportunities for improvement.This report will give Peab an opportunity to develop their quality work.

Sports facilities are a highly unexplored field, and as of the autumn 2008 no research is being conducted about sports fields at Swedish architecture universities. Very few people recognize the sports field as an area for the architecture profession, and to gain more information about sports fields I have discussed the subject with people with connections to architecture and/or sport. The sports field represents a type of sports facility, a permanent football and/or bandy field surrounded by running tracks with appropriate measurements. Like the city?s physical environment, the sports field is a public place, where outdoor activities take place.

Abstract This qualitative interview study focuses on job coaching by examining what thoughts, views and opinions the involved parties, such as job applicants and job coaches, have of the contribution. The aim is to highlight the obstacles and opportunities by examining the expectations that exist from both parties as well as how to look at job coaching and its different areas. In this context, examine the similarities and differences between the two parties approach to the contribution. This is made possible through four interviews with job applicants as well as four interviews with job coaches. A grounded theory inspired approach was used to obtain the results of the study.

Kraven från omvärlden att organisationer skall högprestera är ett faktum och de trappas upp varje dag vilket innebär att behovet av förändringar i verksamheten ständigt finns på ledningens agenda. Förändringar innebär enligt Ahrenfelt och Berner (1992) alltid en konflikt och många människor har inte förmågan att se möjligheterna istället för hoten. Mastec AB är en industrigrupp, bestående av sju dotterbolag, inom metall och plast med huvudkontor beläget i Huskvarna. Koncernen har valt att implementera Microsoft Business Solution Navision på alla dot-terbolag för att på så sätt skapa ett enhetligt affärssystem. I och med implementeringen har dock konflikter uppstått.Syftet är, med utgångspunkt i konfliktteori, att undersöka vilka konflikter som kan uppstå i samband med införandet av ett affärssystem med anknytning till parallell affärsutveckling samt ge exempel på hur dessa konflikter kan hanteras.Undersökningen påbörjades med en genomgång av lämplig litteratur inom konfliktteori.

Filmmusic is often composed specially for a film. When analyzing film-music it seems very common to study the function of the music in a narrative context in order to see how it cooperates or relates to this narration. In the present thesis I am investigating the interaction between film and music as two ingredients on an equal level. In short: what happens when a filmmaker chooses music that has already been composed for another occasion, even in another time and a different cultural context? My aim is twofold: first to examine current film analytic strategies, secondly to find new ways of comprehend pre-composed music in relation to its new setting in a film.

Syftet med studien var att få reda på om upplevd första respektive andra ordningens förändring, i livet eller arbetet, får olika konsekvenser för upplevd psykisk hälsa. Om upplevd andra ordningens förändring relaterar till mer upplevda psykiska besvär än en förändring av första ordningen. Den oberoende variabeln är förändring och innefattas av en förändring av första ordningen, förändring av andra ordningen och ingen förändring alls. De beroende variablerna är psykisk ohälsa i form av besvär som stress, oro, ångest, sömnstörning, trötthet och nedstämdhet. Undersökningen genomfördes av en enkätstudie av anställda inom offentlig kommunal förvaltning.

Under 1900-talets senare hälft har lönesättning via enskilda lönesamtal, så kallad individuell lönesättning blivit den rådande lönebildningen i offentlig verksamhet. Tidigare utgick den offentliga sektorns lönebildning från löneskalor och tarifflöner, så kallad lönetrappa efter ålder och erfarenhet. Den offentliga sektorn kan anses vara en komplex organisation på grund av dess krav på demokrati, hushållande med samhällets resurser och tillämpande av offentlighetsprincipen. Dessa kan ha en påverkande effekt på hur lönebildningen ser ut samt den individuella lönens funktion som belöningsincitament och styrmedel. Syftet med detta examensarbete var att genom en intervjustudie med fenomenografisk ansats undersöka vilka uppfattningar som fanns ute i den offentliga verksamheten kring den individuella lönen och dess effekter.

In Sweden has the temporary agency work industry settled in an explosive way since the deregulation of the unemployment agency monopole in 1993. The demand of civil right for the employer that is rented out confronts the entire labour law regulation with new challenges.The purpose with this paper is an investigation of the principle of equal treatment in The Swedish temporary agency work act and also to create a deeper understanding of the effects of labour and employment relationship. An investigation of relevant collective agreements will be done to highlight the difficulties the principal of equal treatment is exposed to. Further on is there a will to gain understanding for the wage concept and what possible can be included in the wage concept in relation to the principal of equal treatment in The temporary agency work directive. By using the dogmatic method, an approach to descriptive identifying relevant sources of law and clarify the legal situation in the area.In the conclusions it will be determined that the principle of equal treatment in The Swedish temporary agency work act have different effects depending on if the temporary agency or if the client corporation is tied to an collective agreement alternative if a collective agreement is completely missing.

This is an ethnographically inspired study focusing on multilingualism in a Swedish preschool setting. The purpose of the study was to find out how the children perceived their multilingualism and how it was expressed by the children in the interaction with teachers and peers. The research questions were as follows: How is the multilingualism expressed in the day to day interaction in preschool? What significance does the daily interaction with peers and educators have for the children?s perceptions of their multilingualism? How do the children perceive their multilingualism and the value in their multilingual abilities?  To answer these question methods inspired by ethnographical studies were used, namely participant observation and semi-structured interviews with the children.   Theory was used from two areas; childhood sociology as theorized by Corsaro with the ideas of peer cultures and interpretive reproduction, and the sociology of language with the theory of collaborative empowerment as introduced and developed by Cummins. The children in the study were seen as social actors who are important here and now and who contribute to the development of society.   The study showed that the multiple languages were visible in the preschool, but that the Swedish language was upheld as the norm and the language of communication; no children were recorded playing in their ?home language? during interaction with other children.

Syftet med detta arbete har varit att utveckla artificiell intelligens (AI) för ett racingspel till Nintendo 3DS. En del av uppgiften var att göra implementationen så att den går att återanvända i andra liknande spel på samma plattform. Strävan var också att AI:n inte skulle använda sig av en uppenbar så kallad gummibandseffekt under racet. För att uppnå detta har efterforskning gjorts över vilka metoder som används i andra spel inom andra racing spel av olika typ.All kod implementerades i programmeringsspråket C++..

I sin iver att förbli konkurrenskraftiga väljer idag många företag att outsourca de aktiviteter man inte anser tillhöra kärnverksamheten. Human Resources (HR), dvs. en organisations olika personalfunktioner, är en av de verksamheter som numera i allt större utsträckning läggs ut till externa leverantörer.Denna studies syfte var att ur ett arbetslivspedagogiskt perspektiv, problematisera företeelsen outsourcing av HR, vilket har genomförts genom en kvalitativ litteraturstudie. En kritisk och ifrågasättande inläsning av forskning på området, med fokusering på kompetensbegreppet, har kompletterats med teorier kring lärande och kontextuella villkor.Detta har bland annat utmynnat i slutsatser som att outsourcing av HR rymmer både potentialer och paradoxer. Den främsta potentialen ligger i att man genom outsourcing möjliggör för ett samarbete som kan ge ett vidgat perspektiv på verksamheten och dess medarbetare för både moderföretaget och dess leverantör.

Uppsatsen syftar till en underso?kning av Moa Martinsons framsta?llning av ma?nnen i serien om MiaStenman som kan o?ppna upp en ny tolkning. Genom ett genusperspektiv har jag tittat pa? strukturen i hur ma?nnens utseende och personlighet portra?tteras och hur detta pa?verkar Mia. Sedan har jag skildrat Martinsons politiska liv och behandlat delar av hennes relationer fo?r att uppna? en ba?ttre tolkning.Analysen av ett urval av ma?n i hela serien, mestadels hennes styvfader, da? han a?r den som figurerar mest hela serien igenom, visar pa? hur olika de framsta?lls.

Today?s globalisation has opened up borders between countries as can especially be seen with the opening of the European Union. This has increased possibilities of communication and transportation, which has provided companies with greater expansion opportunities throughout the world. However, difficulties may occur when companies choose to establish abroad, for instance when French companies establish in Sweden through subsidiaries, the lack of knowledge and understanding, when it comes to the business culture, customs, and values within the host country, as well as the culture and the structure within the company, may contribute to misunderstandings and inability to work in an amalgamated manner. These barriers are a cause of unsuccessful penetration within foreign markets.
