Rapporten tar upp mina reflektioner dels angående projektarbetet både på ett personligt plan samt samarbetet mellan oss två som gjorde projektet. Vad har fungerat och vad har fungerat mindre bra under projekttiden? Från 2D till 3D är en röd tråd genom hela rapporten då vi gått från 2D-referernsbilder i barnboken Gabriel Glömmer till utrenderade 3D-sekvenser. Jag går igenom vad jag gjort och vad andra gjort under projekttiden då vi haft hjälp av lite olika människor. Dessa människor presenteras snabbt, något annat som presenteras är boken och min relation till densamma.

Långsiktig planering av privata skogsfastigheter har fram till nu inte förekommit i någon större skala, till skillnad från storskogsbruket En av anledningarna har varit att de system som funnits på marknaden inte varit anpassade för mindre skogsinnehav. Nu har Indelningspaketet (IP), ett system för långsiktig planering, vidareutvecklats så att det går att använda även på mindre fastigheter. IP optimerar nuvärdet genom val av skötselalternativ för skogsinnehavet Utifrån avdelningsregistret imputeras (tilldelas) nödvändiga provytedata till varje avdelning från en provytebank. Detta medför att en kostsam objektiv cirkelprovyteinventering som normalt krävs vid användning av IP undviks. En analys med IP sträcker sig över hundra år.

Denna studie behandlar Linköpings kommuns inledande arbete med Djurgården. En ny stadsdel i Linköping, en stadsdel som ligger i linje med kommunens planer på utvidgning och strävan mot hållbarhet. Stadsdelen Djurgården är en satsning i hållbart samhällsbyggande och är tänkt att sätta Linköping på kartan. Djurgården är ett område 2,5 km från centrala Linköping och byggs på ett tidigare obebyggt område. Tanken är att området i framtiden ska bebos av 6-8000 invånare.

There is a lot written about being hearing impaired. There are guidelines on how to adjust the indoor environment for the hearing impaired. There is even more written about gardening and garden design from different aspects. However, I found out that there is nothing written about garden design or adjusting the outdoor environment for the hearing impaired. At the background of myself being hearing impaired and garden designer I realised that I actually had adjusted my own garden out of the fact that I am hearing impaired.

Between 1965 and 1975 a major housing project was carried out in Sweden to resolve a major housing crisis, the so-called one million housing program (Swedish: miljonprogrammet). To raise the standards and create a more attractive housing in these areas is currently a very relevant topic in Sweden.Evidence-based design is the process of basing decisions of the built environment on credible research and studies to achieve the best possible outcome. This method is primarily used in the healthcare sector to improve quality of care and reduce costs by creating healthy environments.The possibility of refurbish apartment buildings from miljonprogrammet using evidence-based design has been studied by means of an extensive literature review and a closer examination of the residential area, Husby in Stockholm, which has been chosen to represent the miljonprogrammet in its entirety. Furthermore, the evidence-based research has been limited to seven fields; nature, noise, color, wayfinding, safe environment, daylight and thermal comfort which has been assessed to be applicable on housing. In order to obtain a comprehensive overview of the different fields, four different subjects were chosen to investigate further within each field; research and studies, laws and regulations, constructional aspect and Husby.

Sveriges kommuner omfattas till stora delar av äldre planer som har blivit inaktuella på grund av ändrad lagstiftning och förändrade planeringsförutsättningar. Upprättade planer gäller tills det att de ändras eller upphävs vilket gör att dessa äldre planer idag gäller som detaljplaner. Dessa inaktuella detaljplaner kan vålla problem för kommunen, bl.a. vid beslut om bygglov. Syftet med arbetet är att utreda detta problem och försöka undersöka vilka lösningar som finns och hur problemet kan förebyggas.

The purpose of this essay is to investigate how parents of children with ADHD or autism experience the transition between preschool and preschool classes. To get answers to my questions, I interviewed five parents representing three different schools in one municipality. I have chosen to use a qualitative research interview inspired by phenomenology. The results of this study show that parents perceptions differ, in terms of how well the transition work for children, and how support and treatment are at a transition. For children with a documented diagnosis, schools have an action plan for those in the gray area there are no procedures.

In my essay I have examined how teachers look upon their role as leader in the classroom. I have interviewed six teachers, senior level ones and teachers from the upper secondary school, about how they look upon tasks that involve planning, control, motivation, groups, and individuals. Based on their answers, I have analyzed if there is anything that can be related to a common leader competence within their profession and, in that case, how it will appear.The result that I have found has been that it exists a common leadership style that teachers are more or less conscious of. The teachers decide on what level the classes or the pupils are andafter that decision they plan their education. The leadership in the classroom can be of different kinds depending on the situation.
