High school students of today frequently come into contact with the English language throughradio and television. Many students even manage to read instruction manuals and understandhow technical devices work, such as, for example, computer games. However, most teachersunderestimate their students? ability and persist in using Swedish to explain how the Englishlanguage works. I have analysed how high school students manage when they take an Englishgrammar test in English.

This thesis has examined the Tekla Structures modeling software and answered the question of whether it could act as a suitable modeling program for the design department at Bjerking AB in Uppsala. The method used in this work is a case study of a previous project with existing basis to work form. The demarcation of the study was to examine only the usability of the foundations of in situ concrete. The work examined three main areas within the design process. The first was to model the concrete elements then to model the reinforcing and ultimately production of the drawings. Because Autodesk Revit was the existing modeling program in the Department conducted the evaluation as a comparison between the two programs.

Syftet med vårt examensarbete är att utreda och förbättra Stibas CAD-användning. Stiba är ettbyggkonsultföretag som ligger i Borås. Vi undersökte vilka typer av CAD-program som finnspå marknaden och vad andra liknande företag använder. Vi har valt att studera programmenTekla, Autodesk Architecture och Autodesk Revit, samt ArchiCAD. Då alla programmen ärkomplexa, med i princip oändliga användarmöjligheter har vi bara haft möjlighet att skapa ossen grundläggande översikt.Vi har undersökt Stibas nuvarande användning genom att lämna ut en enkät och intervjua deanställda för att ta reda på deras åsikter och önskemål.

The purpose of this bachelor's thesis is to investigate how working librariansmanage controversial media. It builds on three debates in the media about libraries and booksthat have taken place during the years of 2012 and 2013. The questiones asked were: How dolibrarians manage racist media? How do librarians manage media that instructs on how tocommit crimes? How do librarians manage sexually explicit media? And lastly, how dolibrarians manage pressure from outside of the library? The theoretical framework consists ofRobert Hauptmans division of the two kinds of ethical strands of librarianship, in this thesiscalled ?Free information? and ?Information responsibly?. The method used to collectempirical material was qualitative interviews.

The subject of this study is conflict management. The purpose of this paper is to examine how teachers deal with conflicts between pupils in primary education. The purpose is also to get more insight on what a conflict is and show different strategies to manage conflicts. To learn about how teachers deal with conflicts between pupils in primary school, I chose to do interviews. I interviewed four teachers. In the interviews we talked about: their definition of what a conflict is, what kind of conflict that are most common, and how common it is with conflicts in the school which they work at, how they handle conflicts between students, how they believe that they manage conflicts, if they have received any training or education in conflict management and if the school they work at have any special guidelines for handling conflicts. My questions are: How do the teachers think about their own involvement in students' conflict management? How do the teachers think about which types of conflicts that can be difficult to manage? The result of the study is that the teachers often let students handle conflicts themselves and they think it is good for them to do it because it is a knowledge that we humans need have.

Byggnadsinformationsmodellering (BIM) är det informationshanteringssystem som de flesta konsultföretag och beställare strävar att implementera. Många har redan tillämpat BIM-metodiken som en del av byggprocessen. Eftersom tekniken går framåt tvingar detta också individen att utvecklas. Svårigheter uppstår när tekniken går framåt utan att den implementeras på rätt sätt av branschen. Problem finns i överföringen av information mellan olika parter.

Virtual Reality och 3D-visualisering är en snabbt växande teknikområde som använder sig av datorgenererade världar för att simulera verklighet och interaktion. I Fiskefunktionen på Länsstyrelsen Gävleborgs projekt ?Återskapa fiskvandring i Gästrikland? (ÅFiG) fanns efterfrågan om en 3D-visualisering och hur den kan användas för ökad förståelse av den tilltänkta återställningen av fiskvandringen i Gavleån och Testeboån. En 3D-modell skulle utvärderas inför planering av beslutsunderlag inför ombyggnation av dammarna vid Forsbacka Järnverk samt visualisering av hur väl kulturminnesområdet bevaras. Dock lades ÅFiG-projektet på is, så resultatet kom ej till användning för beslutsunderlag, men ett arbete har gjorts som förstudie inför modellutveckling i framtiden.

Laser scanning is a method of surveying that has evolved rapidly in recentyears. The technique is based on a laser scanner set up, which can document a structureusing pulsed laser beams. Each time the laser hits a surface it is partly reflectedback to the scanner that stores the point. By using strategically placed targets, storedpoints from different scans can be merged into a point cloud. A point cloud is avisualization of the scanned object with a very high accuracy.

Byggbranschen är ett verksamhetsområde som består av ett samarbete mellan flera olika discipliner. Varje byggprojekt har olika förutsättningar gällande tid, budget, resurser och kompetens. Oavsett typ, kräver byggprojekt en god samverkan mellan alla inblandade parter för ett framgångsrikt genomförande. En förutsättning för detta är att projektet har en bra samarbetsmetod mellan disciplinerna. En god utgångspunkt för att skapa en bra samarbetsmetod är genom att alla discipliner arbetar med en gemensam projektleverans som integrerar människor, system, affärsstrukturer och praxis.

Background: The stress in the society seems to having become more amplified and more trying. Statistics show that the appearance of stress related industrial diseases have increased strikingly. What can be stressing at the workplace? The work conditions are not the only thing that causes stress but no matter what the causes are employers have to restore the employees to their former positions. How are companies dealing with the problems of stress in reality? Do they have formulated strategies for how to manage the problems? Purpose: The purpose with this essay is to try to see pattern in how companies manage and treat stress and stress related industrial diseases.

Management consulting firms are an important part of the knowledge economy and they capitalize on the analytical ability and knowledge of their employees. Much research have been made on large consulting firms and their management of knowledge, but little is known about how small consultancies manage their knowledge. Even less is known about the management of knowledge in small consultancies specialized in change management. These firms rely solely on senior consultants and focus on the human aspect of organizational development. This thesis aims to show how these firms manage their knowledge and also provide an understanding of why.

3D-modelling in AutoCAD This thesis is done in cooperation with LB-Hus in Bromölla, and have aimed to establish a digital AutoCAD model of one of the company?s house types and to find out what opportunities there are to do visualisations in the form of images directly from the programme. Modeling has been carried out so that the very construction of the house is included. Interiors and installations, with the exception of the ventilation system, have been left out in the model. The model has been created with solid models after a comparative study made between solid models and surface models to find out which option in this case was the easiest to handle and took up the least space.

In past decades information technology has changed the conditions of organizations, not at least within the industry. Advanced IT systems have become a fact in order to cope with rapid changes in the market and to effectively manage an organization?s knowledge. When organizations became more flexible and customized expectations from customers and stakeholders also become higher. These expectations and guidelines are documented in a company?s management system, which can be designed differently depending on what standards the company chooses to implement.

Denna uppsats visar utvecklingen av ett konferenshotell i 3D med restaurang, spa och omkringliggande stugor samt modellerad omgivning. Vi fick uppgiften att modellera Öjeberget Järvsö AB: s vision om hur deras ombygge av skidorten Öjeberget ska se ut. Vi använde oss av programmet Autodesk Maya 2009 att göra modellerna och Adobe Premiere för att redigera våra kameraåkningar. Anledningen till att kunden ville ha deras ännu ej genomförda ombyggnad i 3D var för att visa sponsorer och eventuella framtida gäster hur ombyggnaden skulle kunna se ut och hur arbetet fortlöper..

Med sina  sex ben är en insekt inte enkel att animera  med  vanlig keyframe-teknik. Om flera insekter ska animeras så kan nyttan av att automatisera processen vara stor. För att avlasta animeraren  har därför  insektslokomotion baserad på den biologiska insekten   och   relaterad   robotteknik   studerats   och   implementerats   i   Autodesk Softimage  ICE.  Resultatet  är  ett  ICE-träd  som  simulerar  insektslokomotion  på  en grupp  styrobjekt.  Styrobjekten  används  för  att  styra  en  arbiträr  insektsmodell  över den geometri som finns i en 3D-scen.
