BakgrundFörskolans arena erbjuder stora möjligheter till naturvetenskapliga upptäckter varje dag. Genom barnens nyfikenhet kan ögonblick fångas upp och bli till rika lärandemiljöer inom området. För att nå dit krävs ett tillåtande klimat där barnen uppmuntras att utforska sin närmiljö. Pedagogens roll är en viktig faktor där produkt och process kan kopplas samman till en meningsfull helhet och på så sätt nå det syfte som verksamheten eftersträvar.SyfteJag vill studera hur förskolebarn agerar, reagerar och resonerar vid utforskandet av naturvetenskapliga experiment, specifikt inriktade på kemi. Mitt intresse riktar sig mot interaktionen och hur den yttrar sig mellan barnen, mellan barnen och det laborativa materialet samt mellan barnen och mig som deltagande observatör.MetodForskningsmetoden har inspirerats utifrån etnografisk ansats, där jag som forskare har valt att vara aktiv på fältet genom att inta rollen som deltagande observatör.

Att genomföra ett test som alltid ger samma resultat kan i längden kännas omotiverat. Strauss test är ett test som funnits länge för att testa stålets känslighet mot interkristallin korrosion. I detta arbete har Strauss test utvärderats i syftet att få fram ett underlag som kan användas för att starta diskussioner om en förändring i provningsmetodiken. Anledningen till att en förändring behövs är att alla dessa, ej informativa, tester kostar pengar. För att få fram underlaget har en litteraturstudie och experiment genomförts.

In view of the difficulty of recruiting staff to care profession and in terms of the increasing need to find ways of ensuring a good language level in the profession, have an interest in language tests been revealed.

Many design agencies and designers like to see design as a longtime strategic investment for any company. However, knowledge of design as a strategic resource depends on ones professional background and ones knowledge of design as such. It is common today that clients meet design agencies and therefore design with a certain skepticism concerning its role in the company. Within the prodctdevelopment-process the company?s different functions meet.

During the project questions developedin to how to work with the hole lifecycle of the inertial in mindand how to make the place attractive to climbers. I worked withmodels, moodboards and sculptures to explore the form.

By studying literature concerning design, didactics and reflection, and complementing those explorations with interviews with experienced design educators, this thesis challenges the idea of aesthetic media education being purely aesthetic in its characteristics. Drawing from their own experiences as a media aesthetics educator and an industrial designer, the two authors argue that the work flow used within most fields of design, commonly known as the design process, might provide a suitable didactic alternative to a field of education lacking relevant methodology. The literature study offers a better understanding of the design process and how it may be defined and viewed within an educational context. The interviews provide a more practical insight into the world of design education. The result shows that the design process as a didactical method theoretically offers both elements of critical thinking as well as direction and frames for students lacking aesthetic and artistic experience.

This report describes the initial work intended for updating the car sharing service Roadmate. Roadmate is one of the services received by the car rental company Hertz First Rent a Car. The goal was to present the client with design- and structure proposals for a car sharing service that includes high usability and at the same time remains aesthetically pleasing.The work is based on an initial study with data collection, mapping the target user group and its needs. Subsequent structural and design proposals for Roadmates company carpooling service are based on the facts surrounding the target group's needs. The result are well developed and tested design sketches with accompanying visual identity and sitemaps that can be the basis for the further work on the development of the service..

This paper describes the process of producing avatars for Jiddr. Today, social media surrounds the lives of youth, and communication via the Internet is an everyday occurrence for most people. Jiddr is an app that was created to give youths a platform for engaging with adults and other youths. It is a moderated forum which gives young people the opportunity to come i contact with adult role models who are knowledgable within various subject areas. On Jiddr, users are anonymous, and this is something I have placed much importance on during the design process.

This thesis investigates three different surface modifications, and the route to design and synthesize them. The thesis is therefore divided into three sub- projects. (i.) Design and synthesis of a peptide which secondary structure could be controlled by a negatively charged surface. (ii.) Design and synthesis of a cyclic peptide, that would self-organize prior to surface interaction, using the type I anti-freeze protein of a winter flounder as template. (iii.) The use of solid-phase synthesis to make the synthesis of SAM-molecules easier..

Design har en otrolig förmåga att föra utvecklingen framåt men det finns många som är kritiska till hur design utvecklas i västvärldens samhälle. Syftet med denna uppsats är att analysera open design för att ge ett alternativt perspektiv på industridesign. Open design handlar om en designprocess där vem som helst kan delta, utveckla och tillverka produkter. Metoden har sin grund i open source-rörelsen som hastigt spreds i och med internets utbredning. Open design är dock inte lika välutvecklat då rådande marknads- och företagssystem till viss del hämmar detta.

Information about the risks involved shall be distributed to the people living in the area nearby to potentially dangerous installation. Swedish law stipulates strict requirements on what information should be supplied, but the law itself does not give any guidance on presentation. The main purpose of the study is to give recommendations on how to improve the information brochures. Within the study, eight people working with risk information have been interviewed and seven different risk information brochures have been studied. Also, a theoretical analysis and a practical experiment were performed using brochures from two municipalities.

ABORT ?n GO is a design project within the crossing boundaries of Critical Design and IndustrialDesign.The contemporary discourse on abortion is problematic, and infected by double norms. Thesenorms may cause feelings of guilt and shame in women who have an abortion. The abortion rightis built upon conflicting standpoints; one is that women have right to have an abortion, withoutbeing questioned. Second is the notion that abortion is something that should be avoided, implyingthat you?ve done something wrong if you have had an abortion.With this project and physical product I want to explore and discuss the contemporary discourseon abortion in Sweden.

Denna studie utgörs av ett explorativt experiment. Det som har legat i fokus för denna studie har varit att mäta attityd gentemot varumärkes produkter. Eftersom det har skett genom experiment har det centrala varit att se hur attityden påverkas. Studien använder sig av vissa teorier kring varumärken som råd och tips i upplägget av experimentet. En av hypoteserna som ställdes i studien var att positiv beskrivning av varumärkes produkter ger högre utfall i värderandet och viljan att äga produkten än neutral beskrivning.

I denna uppsats undersökte vi, inom ämnet sinnesmarknadsföring, dofters inverkan på produktuppfattning. Sinnesmarknadsföring har som mål att skapa en positiv och lojal relation mellan varumärket och kunden med hjälp av sinnena. Syftet med vår uppsats var att utifrån befintlig forskning samt ett egenutformat experiment, undersöka dofters inverkan på produktuppfattning och därmed potential som marknadsföringsmedel. Vi ville dels undersöka detta samband för dofter generellt, och dels för dofter som dessutom är produktrelaterade. Vi ville även lyfta fram eventuella svårigheter med att genomföra experiment inom detta område, baserat på vår egen undersökning.
