The purpose of the report is toinvestigate if the house in Borlänge can be constructed to meet net zero energy buildingdemands.Energy efficient houses such as passive- and net zero energy houses are showing more frequenton the market in Sweden. Ongoing climate changes and growing consciousness about theenvironment in society have contributed to that the environment is a well discussed topic. Toconsume small amounts of energy and at the same time produce local energy is thereforesomething that lies in the future and future houses.

Physiotherapists treat people with different views of the world and medical beliefs, which require a good understanding of cultural differences. One way to achieve cultural understanding is through self-reflection in a new context. During five weeks the authors, two physiotherapy students, completed a clinical practice at the rehabilitation center Pina Palmera, Zipolite, Oaxaca, Mexico. At the beginning of the period a critical incident was chosen, when the head physiotherapist for the ward Cuidados Especiales intended to sell jewellery to the authors during a treatment of a patient. The authors have by using the reflection framework "Framework to guide reflective process", and Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) for analysis, discussed different ways of communication, adherence, education, and self-reflection and critical thinking.

Phosphate is a used as a surface treatment method which is used for various purposes in the industry. In this case, phosphate coated wire is used in the processes to achieve a desirable outcome. The reason to why phosphate coated wire is used in the production process is because phosphate acts as an accumulator, where it stabilizes the lubricant on the surface of the wire. Lubrication is important because it plays a major role in the roll quality and characterizes important benefits regarding the outcome.Currently, SKF has to wash away all phosphates residues after extrusion process in an operation called tumbling. The main reason for this is simply because the surface has to be completely free from lubricants and coatings till the next step of process.

Hälsan skiljer sig mellan olika grupper i Sverige. Invandrare, arbetslösa, lågutbildade och personer med låg social status har visat sig ha en sämre hälsa. En betydande orsak för den sämre hälsonivån är livsstilsfaktorer så som kost, fysisk aktivitet, eller brist på sådan, och stress. Dessa faktorer kan påverkas, någonting som Hälsoteket i Angered vill underlätta för befolkningen i stadsdelarna Gunnared och Lärjedalen. Men upplever folk att de kan påverka sin hälsa? Syftet var att ta reda på om personer bosatta i dessa stadsdelar upplever att de kan påverka sin hälsa, och i hur stor grad de försökt göra det.

In the school subject of the natural sciences it is imperative that the students are given opportunities to ?talk science?, since the dialogues that occur in the classroom have a significant importance for the students? abilities to engage in meaning-making in their learning process. Hence, the student and teacher interaction in the classroom and the feedback given there play a significant role in the students? learning process. The aim of this study is to contribute to the development of formative assessment tools that can mediate the students? meaning-making in natural sciences subjects in upper-secondary school.

Elektricitet är mycket centralt i dagens samhälle och många av samhällets funktioner är beroende av en fungerande eldrift. I och med detta är det mycket viktigt att driftcentralen hos ett elnätsföretag har förmågan att behålla kontrollen vid en storstörning. En storstörning som fenomen är någonting som inte inträffar speciellt ofta, men när det väl händer drabbas driftcentralen hårt.Syftet med studien var att beskriva det sammansatta kognitiva system som driftcentralen på Utsikt Nät, Tekniska Verken AB, utgör vid en störningssituation och identifiera kritiska punkter som påverkar det sammansatta kognitiva systemets beslutsfattande och förmåga att bibehålla kontroll över processen vid störningsdrift. Studien genomfördes som en etnografisk studie och bestod av observationer och intervjuer. Observationerna syftade till att skapa en förståelse för hur detta sammansatta kognitiva system fungerar vid normaldrift.

This study is based on the will to understand the importance of a specific theory within social work. From the concept of neo-liberal governmentality, the aim is to critically examine and discuss how governance and self-governance is manifested in social work methods and interventions, exemplified by the theory cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT). This will be accomplished through an analysis of:? How governance (and self-governance) is manifested in text through the advocacy of CBT and methods based on CBT.? How (governance and) self-governance is manifested in text through the contents of CBT and methods based on CBT. The study has a deductive approach including the hypothesis that the discourses inherent in social work methods and interventions, exemplified by the theory of CBT and methods based on CBT, may be related to the West?s development of a neo-liberal concept of governance.

För att skapa en produkt som stödjer kundens mål och arbetsprocesser är det av stor vikt att identifiera vilka, men även var och i vilket sammanhang de potentiella brukarna är och agerar. Moderna styrsystem ger möjligheter för flera olika personalkategorier att arbeta med systemen och dessutom används systemen inom skilda domäner där det finns olika behov. Det fanns därför ett behov att, på uppdrag av ABB, utreda vilka behov dessa olika personalkategorier har och hur styrsystemet uppfyller dessa, samt på vilka punkter systemet skulle kunna utöka sitt stöd för de uppgifter som skall utföras. I form av en fallstudie genomfördes därefter en kartläggning av arbetsmiljö, personalkategorier och olika uppgifter och mål som uppfylls av personalen. Fallstudien genomfördes utifrån ett systemperspektiv med ett sammansatt kognitivt system (JCS) som enhet för analys. Detta perspektiv var även tongivande vid presentation av resultaten i form av karaktäristiska gestaltningar av både brukare och domän. Studien har visat att befintliga gestaltningstekniker inte är tillräckliga för att gestalta brukare, domän och samspelet där emellan.

The purpose of this study is to examine what professionals tell about stress, rewards, impact and treatment in the professional treatment with young sexual offenders. Eleven qualitative interviews of half-structured design brought up results about the professional role in the treatment process.

We examined the methods through literature research, which was added to the study whit the purpose of strengthening the interview data. The professionals consider their work important and meaningful and they feel safe in their working role.

Traditionellt utvärderas effekter av kognitiv träning med objektiva prestationsmått. Syftet med uppsatsen var att undersöka självskattad exekutiv funktion som ett alternativt mått för att utvärdera effekter av kognitiv träning. Som utfallsmått valdes The behavior rating inventory of executive functioning - self report (BRIEF-SR). Vidare användes blandad design med för- och eftermätning samt tre oberoende grupper. Gymnasieelever (n = 63) delades in i; aktiv träningsgrupp, aktiv placebogrupp och passiv kontrollgrupp.

The basis of the empirical research has been undertaken by a qualitative design with interviews consisting of three fundamental themes. The research group of eight participants included four gamblers, two therapists and two specialists.

Multipel skleros är en autoimmun sjukdom som genom en inflammatorisk process bryter ner myelinet runt nerverna i centrala nervsystemet och leder till ärrbildning på nerverna. Sjukdomen utvecklas under många år och leder till olika grad av funktionsnedsättningar. Den drabbar kvinnor oftare än män och är vanligare i Nordamerika och norra Europa än i världen övrigt. Syftet med litteraturstudien var att studera hur personer med multipel skleros upplever att sjukdomen påverkar livskvaliteten. Metoden för litteraturstudien inspirerades av Goodmans sju steg för litteratursökning.
