I en tid då förtroende i och för företag diskuteras flitigt ville vi se vad förtroende egentligen kan sägas vara och framförallt vilken betydelse det har för de anställda. Externt kan förtroende kopplas till bilden av företaget utåt och det väckte vår nyfikenhet för kopplingen till den interna bilden, de anställdas uppfattningar om företaget, det vill säga identitetskänslan. Såväl identitetskänsla som förtroende är centrala begrepp för organisationer idag men det finns lite forskning kring dessa begrepps relation. Vårt syfte med undersökningen har varit att skapa insikt i huruvida det finns en relation mellan identitet och förtroende. Detta gjordes dels på ett teoretiskt plan, där vi försökte konceptualisera begreppen och dess relation till varandra, och dels på ett empiriskt plan där vi undersökte dessa begrepps relation till varandra i praktiken.

AbstractRelationships between white women and black men have become a topic of interest in various discussion forums. By examining different arguments within certain discourses, it becomes clear that discourses that have a distinct autocrat outline, i.e. a closed and declaring nature which excludes alternative discursive arguments, also define these relationships as different and deviant in comparison to relationships that does not encompass and include the constellation white women and black men. As a result of the use of autocrat discourses the white women and black men who enter into relationships are displaced and positioned as subaltern. A position which, on the one hand, allows for uninhibited criticism, but, on the other hand, and most importantly, it is a position from where they can be defined by others.

The aim of this study is to discuss how public officials, who are implementing integration policies, describe and relate to ?immigrant women?. The analysis is based on interviews with eight public officials. Drawing on perspectives from discourse theory, multiculturalism, western feminism and postcolonialism, the diskussion tries to place the interview statements within a theoretical debate concerning the concepts of culture/ethnicity and sex/gender. The picture of the ?immigrant woman? seems to be somewhat revised.

Syfte: I och med att det står tydligt i den nya skollagen och i Lgr 11 att elever som riskerar att inte nå kunskapsmålen ska utredas, kommer det att krävas tydlighet inom skolan vad gäller kartläggning/utredning av behov av särskilt stöd. Syftet med studien är att ta reda på om och hur pedagoger med specialpedagogiska arbetsuppgifter kartlägger elever i åk 3-9 med sent upptäckta läs och skrivsvårigheter samt hur arbetsgången är och om det finns en färdig plan för det.Teori: En elev som fungerar normalt i talspråkssammanhang men har svårt att läsa och/eller skriva har läs- och skrivsvårigheter. Glentow (2006) beskriver vad läs- och skrivsvårigheter är. Svårigheterna benämns som generella eller specifika. Specifika läs- och skrivsvårigheter måste kartläggas.

This thesis investigates how the optical properties of paperboard influences printing with targets in ISO 12647-2. The targets for optical properties in ISO 12647-2 are defined for paperboard without optical brightening agents and fluorescent brightening agents wich makes it difficult to reach the targets when printing paperboard containing these agents.Seven different types of paperboard, some with and some without the agents, have been printed and instrumentally andvisually measured to see if there is any deviation from the standard targets and if it shows visually.The result shows that paperboard containing optical brightening agents and fluorescent brightening agents can print with targets in ISO 12647-2 but in many measurments the difference between the types of paperboard were to small to assess. The differences between the types of paperboard in the instrumental measurements did not fully correspond with the waythe panel appraised them visually..

The following study explores the relation between psychosocial work environment and individual health. The purpose is to examine how female employees in the occupational health sector experience their own psychosocial work environment, focusing on different influencing factors in both the workplace and their private life regarding the employees own health. The study applies a hermeneutic approach in which qualitative interviews constitute the empirical data. Previous research on this particular subject has focused on the following themes: the combination of work-family life, demand/control model and flexibility in the workplace in relation to health and stress. The theoretical framework used in this study integrates relevant concepts, specifically SOC, poor leadership and flexibility.

Den kinesiska draken växer så det knakar och i släptåg kommer bland annat satsningar på ekologiska städer för att försöka bryta den onda spiral av negativ miljöpåverkan som landets utveckling för med sig. I den här uppsatsen försöker jag kasta ljus på ekologiska städer som planeras av svenska experter i Kina, med avsikt att reda ut hur väl ekologisk hållbarhet integreras i planen. Jag försöker också reda ut problematik som uppstår när svenska planeringsideal kolliderar med det kinesiska synsättet på boende och städer. Initialt beskrivs klimat- och miljörelaterade faktorer som varit språngbräda till ekostäders popularitet idag. Sedan ges en definition av begreppets innebörd och de bakomliggande tankarna kopplade till hur föreställningen om ekologiska städer har utvecklats i ett historiskt perspektiv.Huvuddelen av arbetet utgörs av en fallstudie där fokus ligger på hur det svenska konsultföretaget Sweco vill minska det ekologiska fotavtrycket i sin konceptuella plan för den Internationella Ekostaden Caofeidian.

Around the world governments reach out to their emigrant population, embracingthem as part of the nation, expecting their economic contribution. The aim of thisthesis is to examine the political strategy and governmental activities of ElSalvador with the purpose to include emigrants in the nation building project. Themain question is what consequences this has for the significance of citizenship.This case study is based on the theoretical framework of external citizenshipwhich is a new fenomena emanating from states growing interest of theirexpanding diaspora. It divides external citizenship in two parts; a legal dimensionand a practiced identity.I find that as the economic potential of salvadoreans abroad increase, theSalvadorean government makes institutional changes to tie emigrants to thenationstate. This results in the possibility for salvadoreans to remain citizens intheir country of origin, practicing their salvadorean identity at the same time asthey naturalize abroad.

This is a thesis on how to develop and densifythe suburb of Joanneshov south of Stockholm.Based on Stockholm?s urban history,Stockholm master plan in 2010, the currentdensity and sustainability debate, literarystudies, as well as a variety of analysisof the site it all ends up with a proposal onJohanneshov. The goals have been workedout during the work and has resulted inthat we want to extend the inner city streetand linking Johanneshov with surroundingdistricts, but we also want to create a wellused, diverse, urban area where the humanis in focus and a district that is easy to read.Much of the work is devoted to show howStockholm has developed historical and totry to put the future in a context, but also a lotof work has been put in the information andthe analysis of the site chapter. The plan proposalis still considered to be the work focus.Johanneshov is surrounded by Årsta inthe west, Hammarbyhöjden in the east,Enskede in the south and Södermalm inthe north. Gullmarsplan is a typical 40thcentury area with a functionalist structure.Johanneshov is with Gullmarsplan,the Globe an the Slaughterhousearea, an important node for the southernsuburbs as a place for communication,sports, entertainment and shopping.Today Nynäsvägen divides the area intoa western and an eastern part.

The division of Engineering Materials at Linköping University, department of Management and Engineering, conducted a research project concerning Fatigue life of thermal barrier coatings during 2009. During this project equipment to provoke these fatigue failure by rapidly heating and cooling test subjects in cycles, was ordered.Design and manufacturing of the equipment was handled internally at LIU.The equipment was built using a furnace that is lowered and raised over the table where the test subject is placed. To keep the temperature of the furnace a lid slides in place to close the downward facing opening of the furnace when it is in the raised position. On this door there is nozzle that is used to cooling of the test subject by air.To make sure that the equipment can work independently you need an automation controller that can evaluate if movement can occur without danger of collisions. The control system also needs to monitor that all elements are performed according to plan.This degree project is based on a modular system from OPTO 22 and includes the configuration of a PLC that will be supplied with logic and a user interface.The degree project resulted in a graphic interface in which a user can set desired values for different parameters and get information about current values for them.
