Denna studie behandlar tillväxt och beståndsstruktur samt sambandet mellan dessa i skog skött med blädningsbruk. Blädningsbruk förutsätter fullskiktad skog med fallande diameterfördelning, under nordiska förhållanden vanligtvis dominerad av gran (Picea abies (L.) Karst). Strukturen i fullskiktad skog är resultatet av tillväxt, skörd/mortalitet och inväxning. Kunskap om det komplexa samspelet mellan dessa faktorer ger skogsskötaren möjlighet att planera och sköta fullskiktad skog för en hög och uthållig produktion. Undersökningar och litteratur inom aktuella områden tas upp i en litteraturstudie. Ämnen som behandlas är: definitioner och begrepp, diameterfördelningen i fullskiktad skog och hur denna kan beskrivas, blädning och andra avverkningsstrategier samt tillväxt- och produktionsundersökningar i Norden, Europa och USA.

Th is thesis is about how to create communicative images. It is mainly for landscape architects. With communicative images, I mean images created with the purpose to communicate a proposal or idea in a direct way to. By only looking at the image, the viewer should get an idea of what the proposal entails. A communicative image should also create an interest in the proposal.

Uppsatsens inledning börjar med att introducera läsaren till arbetet med en presentation av ämnet och varför det är av intresse samt en beskrivning av utbildningen för upplevelseproduktion. Vidare presenteras de teorier från upplevelseproduktion som berör arbetet samt viktiga teoretiska delar om generationer, pedagogik och lärande samt Human Dynamics som ligger till bakgrund för arbetet.Syftet med arbetet är att kombinera teorier om upplevelsesamhället och upplevelseproduktion med pedagogisk teori för att ta fram ett koncept för framtida lärande som är mer individanpassad och hänsynstagande till elever med särskilda behov.För att kunna svara på de framtagna forskarfrågorna:?Vilka teorier om upplevelsesamhället och upplevelseproduktion kan appliceras på individanpassat lärande??Hur kan detta kombineras med pedagogisk teori och tillsammans stärka ett individanpassat framtida lärande?? har det genomförts en litteraturstudie och vidare en konceptutveckling.Studien har genomförts för att visa att det finns likheter mellan teorier från upplevelseproduktion och pedagogiska teorier. En kombination av dessa teorier kan underlätta lärandeprocessen inom skolan. Även organisationer eller projekt som till exempel Framtidens lärande kan utvecklas med hjälp av nya kunskaper de inte redan besitter om lärande..

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how Digital Signage systems such as public info kiosks can be designed to better fulfill its main use; to enlighten, encourage and influence the public with information. The challenges presented from earlier studies shows that the public interests and goals, together with proper and relevant content displayed in info kiosks have impact on the attention the public have towards public displays. Qualitative methods such as interviews, usability testing and observations were conducted to further examine how a public info kiosk can be designed to draw attention and grow interest amongst students at K3, Malmo University. Usability testing were used on the digital prototypes that were developed to ensure that the gestural user interface meet the requirements of a proper interaction from the users. Important insights were made concerning; the attention and interest to relevant content, the aspects of the gestural user interface along with the placement of the info kiosk in terms of context.

Forskningen angående gryppdynamikens inverkan på högintensiv träning är liten, vilket skapar problem i samband med den ökade träningstrenden. Det har nu uppstått en ny arena att forska på.Genom experimentella studier studerades individers motivation samt prestation i olika försatta situationer. 10 deltagare utförde samtliga under sammanlagt tre tillfällen ett förutbestämt pass under olika förutsättningar (se bilaga 1). Studien innebär således tre likadana passutföranden.Genom intervjuer samt kartläggning av tider sammanställdes data vilken kom att beskriva samt förklara hur och varför deltagarnas prestationer kom att skifta. Resultatet kom att analyseras med hjälp av studiens teoretiska ramverk angående tävlingssituationer av Weinberg & Gould (2011) samt flertalet motivationsteorier.Studien visar tydliga samband på att prestation samt motivation ökar då deltagarna utför passen med medtävlande, samt i större grupper.

Background: The project controller is a function witch evolved due to the strong gaining ground of project operation. Why the area of the project controller is interesting to study is explained by the fact that increasing knowledge of this function is important in order to make project operation work well. The fact that opinions in this field disagree, further increases the interest of the field. In order to study the function of the project controller three companies have been singled out. They are IFS, Intentia and Saab Bofors Dynamics.

Testing and analysis of measurement data is a major part of the workday for development engineers within the section Fluid and Emission Treatment to assure the quality of products developed by Scania CV. The ineluctable variation and therefore uncertainty of results can be quantified and discussed with the use of statistical methods.The overall objective of this study is to examine how the competence of development engineers can be improved within the area of statistics. This has been done by relating the concept of competence with the use of statistical methods to analyse experimental data and by investigating which factors that influence the competence of the engineers. Observations of the daily operations, interviews and a focus group with development engineers and a workshop with management personnel, has been used as research methods in this study.The results show that the desired competence, from the perspective of the individual, consists of knowledge, motivation and support. It is important that none of these parts are neglected when the competence of engineers is to be strengthened.
