In this Bachelor Thesis (20 p.), we present the history and development of "Intelligent Houses", and most important- explore some of the future possibilities in this area. The project has been carried out through an interdisciplinary cooperation between three different educations at the Blekinge Institute of Technology. By conducting a dialogue with various actors with different professions, we have been trying to identify needs within the concept of "Intelligent Houses", were the end user is not only the tenant or homeowner. Through Participatory Design methods, such as a Future Workshop, we have brought the users together to discuss their own and each others needs and hindrances in their respective work practice, and how intelligent house technology could improve their work conditions. We have also been testing a highly sophisticated CO/CO2/Moisture/Temperature/Enthalpy multi-sensor & controller, originally developed for regulating indoor climate systems. Based on the needs we have found in our fieldwork, we have been looking at possibilities to make multi user solutions with the sensor..

The study was conducted with an landscape approach with an subject related approach in the field of environmental psychology to investigate how road design affects drivers' choice of speed. The purpose was to portray road environments on thoroughfares in urban areas to motivate motorists to keep the speed limit and thus increase road safety for vulnerable road users. The task question was formulated, how can thoroughfares in suburban settings be portrayed to motivate motorists to reduce speed? The study was conducted throughout a literature review of motivational speed measures along with interviews with road design experts at the Swedish Transport Administration. Case studies were conducted on three thoroughfares in the Stockholm suburbs Vallentuna, Upplands VĂ€sby and Danderyd.

This thesis of 15 hp has been implemented at Halmstad University, incollaboration with Saab Dynamics in Linköping. Saab Dynamics is a companyoperating in the defence industry where competition is tough. This necessitatesnew ways to increase efficiency in the company, which is the basis for this thesis.Saab Dynamics wants to introduce simulation driven design. Since SaabDynamics engineers have little experience of simulation, required a usermethodology with clear guidelines. Due to lack of time, they chose to assign thetask to students, which resulted in this thesis.The aim of the thesis is to develop a methodology in mechanical design, wherethe designer uses the FE analysis early in the design process to develop thestructures' mechanical properties.

Rapporten beskriver ett examensarbete pÄ 10 poÀng som har genomförts av Moa Jantze, möbeldesignstuderande pÄ Carl Malmsten Centrum för TrÀteknik och Design vid Linköpings Universitet. Rapporten bestÄr i huvudsak av tvÄ olika moment. Det första som beskriver skÄnska allmogemöbler och -textilier ur ett historiskt perspektiv och den andra som beskriver arbetet med att ta fram tvÄ produkter med inspiration ur allmogen. Projektets bakgrund Àr ett möbelprojekt som engagerat mig under hösten 2004, dÀr jag tog fram en gungstol som presenterades i Malmstens monter pÄ möbelmÀssan 2005. Gungstolen fick mycket uppmÀrksamhet bÄde i svensk och internationell press och dÀrmed vÀcktes ett större intresse för historien och mitt ursprung.

During spring 2007, I Matilda Lindblom, undertook my Bachelor Degree project in Furniture Design. The supervisors were Agneta Stake at Nola in Stockholm and Leo JĂłhannsson, teacher and examiner at Carl Malmsten CTD in Stockholm.The project was based on three elements:? Cooperate together with a producer for professional supervision? Learn to work from a given design brief.? To learn more about industrial production? Learn more about furniture for public areasI contacted a furniture producer called Nola AB, in Stockholm, who became my work partner during this project. The asked me to design a piece of furniture where you can sit and work with a laptop on. The target was for public areas, for example in parks, malls, or at airports.In cooperation with Nola, my ambition was to develop this piece of furniture that was the answers on their wishes and demands.

NÀr man jobbar pÄ ett spelföretag krÀvs det att man följer spelets anvisningar och design, det gÀller att leverera ett professionellt resultat i tid. Min uppgift pÄ Starbreeze Studios blev att skapa en multiplayerbana till deras kommande spel The Darkness pÄ 10 veckor. Jag ville testa pÄ hur det kÀndes att jobba som spelutvecklare och möta de krav som stÀlls i dagens bransch. Den hÀr rapporten kommer att redovisa hur jag byggt upp min multiplayerbana frÄn grunden och gÄ igenom alla steg i processen. Rapporten kan delas in i tre olika huvuddelar: introduktion, genomförande och resultat..

This report focuses on the upper slit. The upper slit is located between the impeller andthe drive unit. The slit design depends on pump type and application. However it isuncertain why the design varies, The purpose of this report is to clarify why the designvaries and to recommend an improved slit design.A research has been done; information was gathered from interviews, but also fromsearching of databases and studies of drawings, reports and documents. The originalpurpose of the slit was to prevent twining around the driveshaft, and prevent dirt fromentering the cooling system.

VÄrt syfte med detta arbete Àr att undersöka hur olika lÀrare tÀnker kring att arbeta med hÄllbar utveckling i sin undervisning utifrÄn dess tre dimensioner, social-, ekonomisk-och ekologisk hÄllbarhet. Vi ville se hur lÀrare arbetar med dessa tre dimensioner i sin undervisning. Vi har anvÀnt oss av en intervjustudie med fyra lÀrare pÄ tvÄ olika skolor. LÀrarna undervisade i olika Àmnen, sÄsom svenska, samhÀllsoriterande Àmnen och naturorienterande Àmnen.Vi har anvÀnt oss av Deweys teori om praktisk utbildning och begreppet ?learning by doing?.

Med denna studie vill vi beskriva hur förskollÀrare ser pÄ sin egen betydelse för barnens motoriska utveckling under utomhusvistelsen. Vi anvÀnde oss av kvalitativa intervjuer eftersom studien riktar sig mot hur förskollÀrarna ser och uppfattar sig sjÀlva. Vi intervjuade sju verksamma förskollÀrare i en medelstor kommun i Norrbotten. Resultatet visade att de ser sin betydelse som viktig pÄ olika sÀtt. FörskollÀrarna anser att de ska finnas dÀr för att uppmuntra och utmana barnen i deras utveckling.

The aim with this essay is to explore the possibility that jewellery was worn in combinations during the Bronze Age in the south of Sweden and Denmark as a way to show identities. By examining neck-collars and neck-rings and the jewellery found with these objects in graves, I have managed to find a few combinations that re-occur within regions which I think point towards ways of expressing different identities.To fully explore the subject I have also examined the design of the neck-collar to see if the designs have the same regional difference as the combinations. Though there is some difference between regions it is the similarity of the design over regions that stand out. It is possible that the design of the neck-collar has shown a different meaning than the jewellery combinations.There are similarities between the jewellery found in combinations in the graves and the jewellery found in hoards. Neck-collars and neck-rings found in combination with other jewellery in hoards show a greater regularity over the south of Sweden and Denmark then those combinations found in the graves..
