The aim of this thesis is to examine whether law reforms in the detailed planning process can be an aspect that gets in conflict with the citizens rights to participate in the Swedish planning through dialogue, and how five chosen municipalities are working with citizen participation. To be able to answer the aim of the thesis a literature study and five semi-structured interviews was performed in purpose to get wide-ranging information from municipal officials working with detailed planning handling. Law changes that aims to make the detailed planning process more efficient has been implemented partly to satisfy the needs of dwellings since the detailed planning process among master builders seems to be slow and inefficient, which to the them means higher costs. The requirement on having a detailed planning program was taken away when the new planning law was adopted year 2011. The planning program was including a moment of citizen dialogue. The case studied municipalities have not been affected in this law change arguing that it?s still possible to bring a program if needed.

Title:                          Leadership development of individuals in management positions Authors:                    Carl Renér and Peter Simonsson  Institution:                Linneaus University, School of Business and Economics Program:                   Human Resource Management Course:                      Business administration ? Organization including thesis, 15 credits Supervisor:               Olle Duhlin (Linneaus University, School of Business and Economics) Examiner:                 Mikael Lundgren (Linneaus University, School of Business and Economics) It is widely known that the role of managers may result in stress and a heavy workload. As a result of this negative effects organisations have to counteract and find new solutions and systems to facilitate and assist leaders in their work. A popular method for leadership development has come to show both in research and in practice, especially in recent years, this popular method is known as mentoring. This form of leadership development is often applied in so called mentoring programs.

Abstract This essay is about girls that have chosen a gender atypical education on a gymnasia level. Since we are living in a society that is still today gender segregated in both working life as well as educational area, we find it interesting that it still exist an paradox which leads us to the question ?why? those girls and boys, woman and man choose so differently. We are not aiming towards study how many girls that have chosen a gender atypical education but rather how these girls that are on the construction program in one of Stockholm?s gymnasium have deliberated and what it is that has influenced them.

This work is an experimental study where knock sensor placements are investigated using engine tests. The aim is to studythe quality of the signal from knock sensors and how the signal for engine control is affected at different sensor locations on Scanias, engine DC13. To find out at witch position on the engine youcan get a usable signal for engine control, the engine is running while the knock sensors with advanced measurement equipment is connected to the engine. Evaluation of signals from the knock sensors are made in the computer program Matlab. The program is producing a seriesof plots, from these plots it is visually possible to draw conclusions and find connections.

Syftet med detta arbete är att få syn på och försöka förstå elevers perspektiv gällande ett skolprojekt som de varit delaktiga i under höstterminen 2011. Skolprojektets tema var ?Människan och samhället? och dess syfte var att ge eleverna möjlighet att uttrycka sig med hjälp av och prova på olika estetiska gestaltningsformer. Skolprojektet avslutades i en hybridutställning. Vår emperi består av material insamlat under skolprojektets gång, så som filmade klassrumssituationer, elevers loggboksanteckningar och elevutvärderingar.

Syftet med denna studie är att ur ett elevperspektiv synliggöra gymnasieelevers uppfattningar om vad som kännetecknar en kompetent dans- respektive matematiklärare, för att sedan göra en jämförelse mellan dessa. Då läraren ses som en ledare i klassrummet, tolkas den kompetente dans- respektive matematikläraren sedan ur ett ledarperspektiv. Metoden som använts i undersökningen är skriftliga reflektioner, vilket innebär att informanterna fritt har fått reflektera över vad som kännetecknar en kompetent dans- respektive matematiklärare och sedan skrivit ned sina tankar. Undersökningen är genomförd på två skilda gymnasieskolor inom två olika program, Estetiska programmet med inriktning dans och teknikprogrammet. Danseleverna har fått reflektera över den kompetente dansläraren och teknikeleverna har fått reflektera över den kompetente matematikläraren.

Abstract The purpose of this project is to develop a modular processor card which is intended to work as a platform for Kitron Development Karlskoga. The modular processor card is meant to be used as a control system in development projects, mainly in medical and industrial products. The processor card will consist of a central unit with the basic functions for a control system. Furthermore there will be complete modules with machine commodity and programming, to pick exactly the necessary functions for a specific application. With consideration to the specification of the development and the main unit, I chose an adequate microprocessor (AT90CAN32) as core and interface circuits to stated border areas. The construction is first completed in the program MultiSim and then remade in the program OrCAD Capture. The programming language C was used in the software model.

This study focuses the gendered relations of the Military Academy of Karlberg. More specific the study is investigating the experiences among young women and men cadets of suppression techniques. The purpose of the study is to get more knowledge about the work climate and suppression techniques at the officers? training program 2007/2010.

Examensarbete som bestod i att rita en låg- och mellanstadieskola i det nybyggda området Annedal. Skolan är programmerad för cirka 600 elever, sex årskurser med fyra klasser i varje årskurs, 25 elever i varje klass. Utöver de olika klassrummens hemklassrum breddades skolans program genom att låta specialklassrummen (slöjdsalar, idrottshall, mm) rita sig utåt och bli offentliga lokaler efter skoltid. Skolans program består alltså av 24 klassrum med tillhörande hemvister, två musiksalar, sal för träslöjd, sal för syslöjd, bibliotek, fullskalig idrottshall med fyra tillhörande omklädningsrum, en aula som rymmer hela skolan samt andra mer serviceinriktade skollokaler såsom matsal, skolkök och kontor för skolans administration.För att ta sig an skolans stora program användes en metod där skolan fick komma till som i ett collage. Olika väl fungerande rumsligheter från andra projekt blev inspirationskällor som införlivades och fogades in i byggnaden.Tanken om collaget blev även vägledande i utformningen av byggnadens estetik samt dess tekniska detaljer.

The aim of this study was to get a deeper understanding of how employees at NCC Construction Sverige AB experience health promotion activities. The purpose was to identify and uncover the process of meaning constitution concerning health promotion within each subjective individual. To achieve this deeper understanding the participants were asked to answer a carefully formulated phenomenological question in a self-report. The received reports where analysed according to the method of Meaning Constitution Analysis. The result showed that both office workers and construction workers exclusively refer health promotion to bodily functions even though there where some differences in type of activity they focused.

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between sleep, photoperiod, milk yield and hormones connected to milk formation. Variations of prolactin (PRL) and Insulin-Like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) in plasma were measured during two different light programs. The light programs consisted of either 24 hours of light (L24:D0) or four hours of light and 20 hours of darkness (L4:D20). Five cows of the Swedish Red breed were used in a cross-over experiment and each light program consisted of five days. Milk yield was measured at every milking and milk samples were analyzed with regard to fat, lactose and protein.

Det finns, och kommer att finnas, olika sätt att arbeta som KME-lärare beroende på vem man är, vilka intressen man har, vad man vill, vilket sammanhang man söker sig till eller hamnar i. Varje blivande KME-lärare behöver bena upp vad kunskapsområdet KME kan betyda i den pedagogiska verksamheten och ett examensarbete ger utrymme för en sådan fördjupad undersökning. Vad finns det för innehåll i begreppen kultur, medier, estetik? (www.mah.se, c) Huvudämnet Kultur, Medier, Estetiska uttrycksformer är en ny inriktning på Lärarutbildningen, Malmö högskola, och vi är två studenter som avslutar vår sista termin på denna utbildning. För att få en större förståelse för vad begreppen kultur, medier, estetiska uttrycksformer kan innefatta, och även frihet, individ/ kollektiv och identitet, har vi valt att fokusera vårt examensarbete på dessa begrepp.

The Landscape Architecture Program at SLU, Ultuna provide several design courses. Within these courses, students are mainly introduced to one type of design process, a process based on the specific site and its conditions, known as Genius Loci. This report presents a course and a design methodology from Cornell University which aims to provide students with tools for a more conceptual way of thinking about design and architecture. The design method is presented in two stages. First an introduction to the course description and objectives.

Costs of maintenance on agriculture machines is something that many farmers has a low knowledge of, it can depend on low interest or that the farmer don?t have enough time. To make it easier for the farmers they can use many computer programs which are available on the market. In this program they can calculate their costs of maintaince on their agriculture machines, for example STANK and JTI machine calculation program. Most of this program is using Svensson (1987) costs model whish was made in Sweden in the middle of 80 decade in a large study.

Anledningen till att jag valde att skriva om valet till gymnasiet är att jag blev nyfiken på vad som påverkar elevernas beslut och vad det är som tilll slut gör att de väljer som de gör. Nyfikenheten uppkom efter att jag själv varit i valet och kvalet när jag skulle välja program på gymnasiet. Mitt syfte är att genom en enkätundersökning och efterföljande intervjuer försöka få vetskap om vad som påverkar elevernas val till gymnasiet. Jag vill även försöka undersöka överhuvudtaget varför man väljer som man väljer. Jag har valt att koncentrera mig extra på det Naturvetenskapliga programmet och är därmed nyfiken på vad högstadieeleverna tror krävs av dem som väljer detta program.Jag vill även ta reda på vad för slags information om detta program man fått och från vem denna har kommit.
