The project in question is a joint effort between students at Karlstad University and Marcus Norström at the company Hovercraft solutions. The project is divided into two parts, one focusing on the purely technical aspects of engineering the product and one focusing on the design aspects of the product development. The project described in this report is the design of the product. The assignment from Hovercraft solutions is regarding design engineering of a cabin for the hovercraft 380TD from the manufacturer Griffon hovercraft. The product lacks a cabin and none is offered from Griffon at the time being. 380TD is a relatively small hovercraft with a length of 6.8 metres and a width of 3.8 metres.The surface available for the cabin is not much different from the body of a car.Because of this, research has been focused primarily on car bodies.The product development process used in the project is following a systematic approach.From a chosen concept, the project was finalized with a CAD-modell as well as a detailed prototype.The weight target of 80 kg was reached and the ergonomic aspects were considered developing the sight field, roof- and entrance height.    .

When we, in the turn of the year 07/08 moved to Holma, Malmö,I and my cohabiter immediately joined the self-managementon our tenement yard, partly because we both missed havinga garden since we moved to an apartment, partly becauseof the rent reduction. The aim with this thesis is to examinehow the common outdoor environment in tenement yards isaffected when the tenets themselves are responsible for themaintenance. But also to see what social affects self-managementbrings. The purpose is to increase the understanding of howself-management works in practice and how we as landscapearchitects need to adjust ourselves and our design to create alasting design that works when the tenets are in charge of theirown outdoor environment.I have been studying a number of tenement yards with selfmanagement,both municipal and private tenement houses. I havestudied both their design and their self-management, how it isworking and how it is organized partly trough deep interviewsand also by questionnaires to the tenets of the yards in question.I found three tenement yards with some differences.

In this essay, we have compared a conventional house to a passive house. The housesshared the same local conditions; they have the same living area and the same layout. Thedifferences between the houses were the different construction solutions for the roof, theouter walls, the floor and the heating system. Both the houses qualify the standards fromBBR and the passive house also lives up to FEBY?s special conditions.The purpose with the essay was to examine if it really is profitable to build small hoses aspassive houses.

The purpose of this thesis was to determine what materials should be used when creating a stimulating garden for intellectually handicapped people and whether there are materials that are better than others to use in this kind of environment. How the materials preferably can be used and how the environment should be designed to satisfy the need of each individual will also be discussed. Seriously intellectually handicapped people have the same level of intelligence as a normal 0-2 year old child. It is important to point out that these individuals can not be compared to a normal child in other aspects than the level of abstract thinking and perception of reality. As the grown up intellectually handicapped people have remained a lot longer on this stage of intelligence they have got more experience. (Kylén 1981) It is important with a lot of different experiences for the brain to develop normally, which implies the use of many different materials to achieve the best stimulation (Kylén 1981).

Idén till arbetet kommer ifrån Kenneth Lorentzon, SLU i samband med att han söktes upp föratt få förslag på uppsatsämnen inriktat på växter, inför examensarbetet inomLandskapsingenjörsprogammet SLU, Alnarp, vårterminen 2009.Syftet med studien är att inspireras av boken Beth Chattos Gravel Garden (2000) samt studera ettantal växter på torra växtplatser runt om i världen och utifrån det gestalta ett förslag medtorktåligt hortikulturellt växtmaterial till ett nytt växtsortiment på Alnarp. Litteraturstudien,diskussionen och gestaltningen ska besvara frågeställningen:Hur kan man anlägga en liknande typ av gravel/scree garden i Beth Chattos anda utifrån ettsvensk klimat?Målet med studien är att fördjupa växtkännedom och att öva växtgestaltning.Studien har genomförts med hjälp av litteraturstudier, vilka i studiens inledning siktar in sig på attge en översiktlig bild av vilka torra växtplatser som finns på jordens yta. De ska även exemplifieranågra typiska karaktärer för växterna inom det specifika området för att ge en ökad förståelse förden komplexitet som ligger bakom växternas olika uttryck.I studien ingår intervjuer med tre personer varav två tillhör de främsta experterna på alpintväxtmaterial i Sverige. Alla tre har praktiska erfarenheter av att anlägga klippträdgårdar, blandannat i Göteborgs botaniska trädgård.

This thesis investigates if a system for small scale electricity production located in anurban environment can be profitable. The work has been divided up into two parts,one extensive literature study and one case study. The purpose of the literature studywas to investigate the area, resulting in a choice of which technology to be studied indepth in a case study.In the case study a system containing small scale wind turbines and photovoltaicsmounted on Gränby Centrums roof was examined. From data containing wind power,wind direction and total irradiation, possible production from a system weresimulated. Three products of each technology were examined in the simulations.From the simulated production an economic analysis was carried out, this toinvestigate if a system is profitable.

To accomplish my purpose about where bullying is emerging and how bullying utter it is self and if the educationist consideration disposes conform to the students, i chose two classes from two different schools. With the help of the students thought and speculations and with the educationalists answers, I come to a result. I want to add that my results agreed with the early scientists? research. The results also confirmed by literature and by theories that showed in my result.

This bachelor's thesis is a study of operative approach and attitude to espaliered fruit trees in home gardens. Through qualitative interviews the informants give their view of problems which might arise, and to some extent how the problems can be solved. In addition, which benefit can be obtained from growing these different types of trained trees and for whom they might be suitable. Thematic analyses were used to find themes and patterns for deeper understanding. The conclusion was that these kinds of trees would be beneficial to use to a greater extent than is done today you can use more species and varieties, fit more trees in a small garden, and enhance the trees esthetical appearance.

Every year more than 6000 thefts, to a value of 1.5 billion SEK, are reportedwithin the Swedish building trade. Plus all the indirect costs of having theconstruction site standing still.SafeTool is a newly started company that will try to prevent this problem witha modern technology solution.The key to SafeTool?s solution is RFID ? Radio Frequency Identification ? andthe solution looks like this;All tools are stored in a container on the construction site. Every tool isequipped with a RFID-tag that uniquely identifies the tool. With antennas in thecontainer it is possible to detect when a tool is leaving the container and whenit comes back.

De traditionella dagvattensystemen med underjordiska ledningsnät innebär stora komplikationer i form av översvämningar och en mycket negativ miljöpåverkan. Genom att istället efterlikna naturens kretslopp renar och fördröjer de ekologiska dagvattensystemen vattnet på dess väg mot det mottagande vattendraget, recipienten, och avlastar samtidigt ledningsnätet. Denna uppsats syftar till att informera, argumentera och inspirera till en utökad användning av dessa system och att särskilt belysa biodikets roll och funktion.Biodiken, eller bioswales, är grunda, vegetationsbeklädda diken med svag lutning som renar, infiltrerar och fördröjer dagvattnet och kan exempelvis användas längs vägar, på parkeringsplatser eller bostadsgårdar. De är flexibla som gestaltningselement och effektiva ur reningssynpunkt, men de kräver rätt utformning och dimensionering. Därför beskrivs i detta arbete tekniken och de viktigaste parametrarna man bör tänka på vid planering och anläggande av biodiken.

Syftet med examensarbetet är att skapa en exempel- samling som kan användas vägledande och inspirerande vid omgestaltning av bostadsgårdar, till förmån för ekosystemtjänster. Exempelsamlingen tar även upp skötselaspekten, då denna påverkar resultatet på kort och lång sikt. Syftet är också att visa på och diskutera hur Utvärderingsverktyget för ekosystemtjänster, framtaget av Sweco och Riksbyggen, kan användas vid omgestaltning och om verktyget eventuellt kan anpassas till detta. Förhoppningen är att examensarbetet ska bidra till en ökad förståelse för och betydelsen av att främja ekosystemtjänster i småskaliga projekt. Ekosystemtjänster är de positiva effekter ekosystemen ger till människors välbefinnande. Idag förtätas städer och berövas på den stadsnära naturen. Detta gör att den biologiska mångfalden hotas vilket i sin tur gör att ekosystemtjänster uteblir. Som landskapsarkitekt har man möjlighet att påverka stadens utveckling mot ett mer hållbart samhälle. Därför är dessa kunskaper viktiga att ha med sig i yrkesrollen. Olika verktyg används i dagsläget för att utvärdera mark som exploateras.

This thesis investigates if a system for small scale electricity production located in anurban environment can be profitable. The work has been divided up into two parts,one extensive literature study and one case study. The purpose of the literature studywas to investigate the area, resulting in a choice of which technology to be studied indepth in a case study.In the case study a system containing small scale wind turbines and photovoltaicsmounted on Gränby Centrums roof was examined. From data containing wind power,wind direction and total irradiation, possible production from a system weresimulated. Three products of each technology were examined in the simulations.From the simulated production an economic analysis was carried out, this toinvestigate if a system is profitable.

This project was about the creation of a shorter computer animated film. Thegoal of the project was to explore a different technique of the visual outcomethat should not rely on photorealistic rendering and how to find new interestingways to use 3d-graphic for visuals. A big part of the project was also toincorporate music to create a chosen atmosphere and impact on the viewer butalso to help the story forward and questions such as; ?How can you create anexpression for the feeling you want to transmit?? were formulated. The scenewas built up in a 3d-application consisting of a house and surrounding garden,which within an character was animated to tell the plot.
