This is a booklet with information and inspiration about precast retaining walls. The three chapters contain information about concrete as a material, how the surface of the wall can be altered, and a chapter with ideas for a new precast wall. I have obtained information through books, interviews, lectures and fairs. The retaining walls on the market do not correspond to the requirements of the Landscape Architects I have interviewed. I have therefore considered their opinions in the chapter containing my new ideas for new retaining walls.

Abstract:The aim of this study has been to investigate (theoretically as well as empirically) the problematic notions of state neutrality and political perfectionism and, in particular, the potentially vast continuum existing between these concepts both in theory and in actual political practice. In order to accomplish this, a conceptual analysis has examined (some of) the arguments for and against state neutrality and political perfectionism, different aspects of neutralism and perfectionism as well as the exact definition of the concepts of ?neutrality of justification? and ?conceptions of the good?. Using a specific (though not entirely uncontested) definition of these concepts, an empirical analysis was made of Swedish parliamentary parties and their cultural policies. The empirical part of the study seemed to confirm one of the basic premises of this study; that state neutrality and perfectionism are often (as has indeed been recognized by critics of state neutrality) intertwined in the business of everyday politics..

I denna systematiska litteraturstudie sammanställs forskning om ämnet utomhusmatematik. Insamlingen av datan har skett via sökningar i databasen ERIC (Ebsco) efter vetenskapligt granskade artiklar. Artiklarna har analyserats och resultatet av studien har gett en tydligare inblick av utomhusmatematik, men även om utomhuspedagogik. Det som återkommer är sambandet mellan matematiken och elevernas vardag, att eleverna måste förstå dessa kopplingar för att kunna utvecklas i matematiken. Studien har visat på vikten av elevdelaktighet, problemlösning samt för- respektive nackdelar med utomhusmatematik.

Today Scania give a high priority to the continuous improvements on the quality of their vehicles. To follow up the flaws in product quality, which are recognized by the repairs at the local workshops, material requests are carried through to be able to analyze the defects at the plant in Södertälje ? in purpose to improve the product quality. The material requests are also carried through to compensate the workshop for their expenses and to check that they are working according to the company?s warranty manual.Due to local routines and different distribution structures at the different markets the lead times and the costs caused by the flow of material are hard to estimate.

Syfte ? Huvudsyftet med denna studie är att granska olika företags miljöredovisning, dess innehåll och omfattning, vilka deras huvudsakliga intressenter är samt hur de utformas.Metod ? Studien är av kvalitativ natur och inleds med en undersökning av såväl äldre som aktuell forskning rörande Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) och miljöredovisning. Detta följs av en granskning av 30 företags årsredovisningar samt, då det finns, CSR- och miljöredovisningar. Det har också utförts semistrukturerade intervjuer med tio personer ansvariga för miljöredovisningen i sina respektive företag.Företagen är indelade efter branscher; anläggning och transport, samt efter storlek; små, mellan och stora företag beroende på deras årliga omsättning.Resultat ? Ett något förvånande resultat som framkommit är det stora kundfokus som finns i miljöredovisningen hos små och medelstora (SME) företag något som förklarats i intervjuer med att detta ofta är business to business (B2B) företag och som sådana har de som regel endast ett fåtal men stora kunder som de lägger sitt fokus på och samarbetar med i framställningen av redovisningen.De stora företagen är mer inriktade på stordriftsfördelarna då de har för många kunder och andra intressenter för att kunna presentera personliga redovisningar till alla.

Facebook is the most widely used social media in Sweden. It allows the user to easily share the latest from their everyday life, their opinions, as well as communicate with their acquaintances. According to the latest poll from the Foundation for Internet Infrastructure, 33% of teenagers in the ages 12-15 spend their Internet time being active on social media. 63% of these teenagers visit Facebook on daily basis.Herein, we examined how Facebook can be exploited as a complement to the education of the mother tongue. The investigation was performed with a questionnaire as well as a test group that has been supplemented with semi-structured interviews. In conclusion, the study showed promising results in the usage of Facebook with the education.

Detta examensarbete är utfört i samarbete mellan Centrum för högpresterande stål (CHS) på Luleå tekniska universitet samt Scancon Industrimontage AB. Syftet med arbetet har varit att konstruera en portabel bro för fyrhjulingar som kan tillverkas av Scancon i deras verkstad med befintliga maskiner. Arbetet innefattar hela kedjan i en produktutveckling med start i behovsanalys och idégenerering och slut i en färdig produkt redo för serietillverkning. Under konstruktionen har Siemens NX6 används för modellering samt LS-DYNA för hållfasthetsanalyser. Projektet resulterade i en teleskopisk brobalk tillverkad i 1 mm tjock höghållfast plåt.

This study is an attempt to examine the information needs and use in everyday tasks inthe work environment of community health nurses. The purpose of this paper is double toexamine the information need and use of the community health nurses and to test and validatea method and a theory for the studying of information need and use in workers everydaytasks adapted from Byström and Järvelin (1995). Most of the data were collected throughdiaries kept by the informants in close relationship to the problem situations and were analysedqualitatively. Furthermore a literature survey was made in nursing infomatics and informationscience and it showed that there is no absolute common ground between the disciplinesin the way they use the information concept.The theory and method were validated in a broad outline and were very useful in the study ofcommunity health nurses' information needs and use. The study also shows that the contextof community health nurses plays an important role in the nurses information behaviour..

Skotningskostnaden utgör ca 10 % av skogsindustrins totala råvarukostnad. Medelskotningsavståndet har stark inverkan på skotningskostnaden. Detta medför att skotningsavståndet är viktigt att skatta rätt, för bra planering och korrekta kostnadskalkyler. Vid gallring och föryngringsavverkning skattas terrängtransportavståndet subjektivt av SCA:s planerare. Körning under pålastning och lossning räknas inte in i det skattade avståndet, utan sträckan avser den bästa verkliga körsträckan från virkets tyngdpunkt på trakten till avläggets tyngdpunkt.

Today's climate and environmental issues have now been up for discussion for quite long. Various environmental measures have been taken, but it is not always certain that those measures actually are for the better because of the complexity of our environment. Therefore, studies of whole life cycles are very important even if they are time and resource intensive.Real estate accounts for 15% of global carbon emissions, but also affects our environment in many other aspects. In Sweden this number is even higher. About 30 % of its carbon dioxide emissions originates from building sector and changes are therefore of great importance.

In Sweden the social assistance from a historical perspective, has been a part of the social legislation, since the 18th century. In that time called poor relief. Through the centuries this has established the social assistance we have today. With focus on the child, we have attempted to illustrate how the social workers consider the child perspective when they are dealing with the social assistance. We wanted to get a view of how the social worker reasons about needs the children have and how they can see that the benefit has been provided for.

The purpose of this study is to describe the motivations of women to participate in politics and to examine whether women feel that they are held back by something in their political participation. The questions of this study are:How do women motivate their participation in different fields in politics?Are there any obstacles that are holding women back in their political participation? Interviews have been used as the method to gather the empirical data. When applying the theoretical framework on the empirical material the main conclusion is that women tend to participate more frequently in political activities that are less time consuming and more sporadic in comparison to more traditional forms of political participation. Women are also more inclined to participate in political activities on a lower level that makes up part of their everyday life, one example of this is women?s increasing participating in political consumerism. Keywords: Politiskt deltagande, kvinnor, motivation, politik, politisk jämlikhet, politiska sfärer.

This study means to research the importance and significance of the social and informal learning opportunities offered at a workplace. With Wenger?s theory about social learning and communities of practice as a starting point, this study will create understanding about how teachers at a school comprehend their opportunities for learning within the teacher community. The study is conducted at an independent school in Sweden, and is based on interviews with eight of the teachers employed at the school. The purpose of the study was to research how employees perceive how their social interactions with their colleagues can create learning, and what obstacles they might face along the way.

Internprissättning är priser på varor eller tjänster som levereras mellan enheter inom ett större företag. Det visar sig att interna priser kan göra det möjligt för ett företag att mer effektivt styra företaget mot de gemensamma målen. En debiteringsmodell kan användas för att koppla interndebitering till en utförd leverans där en skriftlig begäran skickas elektronisk till mottagaren med besked om belopp och vart pengarna ska betalas. Priset som anges är antingen baserat utifrån en prislista som uppdateras kontinuerligt eller beräknas omgående och fastställs per beställning. Genom att bygga in servicenivåer i en debiteringsmodell kan beställningsbeteende inom intern logistik ändras genom att chefer gör beställare medvetna om hur deras val påverkar produktionsenhetens ekonomi. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka huruvida en debiteringsmodell för intern transport kan förändra beställningsbeteenden och sänka kostnader för intern logistik.
