AbstractThis report has been developed in cooperation with Peab Region Bostad Göteborg, mentor at Krook& Tjäder (through Chalmers), and examiner at Chalmers University of Technology. The report is the result of a research of a building project, constructed by Peab. The report is investigating and it means to identify and evaluate qualities in the dwelling and its surroundings. Its purpose is to evaluate how the residents in a chosen housing cooperative enjoy living there. It shall, with help of chosen quality aspects, identify what expectations the residents had before moving in, how they experience the dwelling and its surroundings today, and what hopes they have for the future planning of the area.

Background: Children are different and they live under different conditions, but one they have in common - the desire to play. Children's play is important for their health and wellbeing.

A further aim was to highlight the obstacles and opportunities that parents experience regarding physical activity for young children. Material and Methods: The main study two focus group interviews were used with eight parents of children of preschool age.

Uppsatsens utga?ngspunkt har varit universitets- och ho?gskolestudenters stress info?r det kommande arbetslivet da?r det ga?ller att vara sa? attraktiv som mo?jligt fo?r deras fo?rsta arbetsgivare. Att vara attraktiv handlar ba?de om meriterna som finns pa? en persons CV (Curriculum vitae) men samtidigt speglas ocksa? en person pa? sitt personliga brev. Uppsatsens syfte har varit att nyansera bilden fo?r de stressade studenterna och fo?rdjupa kunskapen kring hur HR-personer och fo?retag ba?de praktiskt och teoretiskt ga?r tillva?ga na?r de rekryterar nyexaminerade studenter.

Lantbruksdjurens välfärd påverkas i stor utsträckning av människors sociala och ekonomiska förutsättningar. Brister i djurvälfärd skiljer sig således åt i olika länder beroende på bland annat djurhållningssystem, klimatförhållanden och utfodringsmöjligheter. Denna variation mellan länder medför behov av skiftande anpassningar och insatser för ökad djurvälfärd beroende på samhällets grundförutsättningar. Det finns tendenser till att industriländer försöker applicera sina forskningsresultat och kunskaper direkt på andra länder när de skall genomföra ett biståndsprojekt, något som sällan ger framgångsrika resultat om viktiga faktorer som kultur, tradition, miljö och religion ej tas med i beaktandet. I utvecklingsländer, där människor plågas av svält, fattigdom och arbetslöshet finns det ytterst begränsade ekonomiska tillgångar att investera djurvälfärdsfrågor. Detta ökar behovet av ett ?människofokuserat? djurvälfärdsarbete, där insatser för djurens välfärd samtidigt bidrar till ett ökat välbefinnande hos människor, antingen ekonomiskt eller hälsomässigt.

Bakgrund: Transpersoner ?r en samh?llsgrupp som rapporterar h?gre grad av diskriminering inom sjukv?rdssystemet ?n cispersoner, n?got som grundar sig i cisnormativiteten som r?der i v?rlden och i v?rdsystemet. Transpersoners h?lsobehov ?r m?ngfacetterade och kan innefatta b?de k?nsbekr?ftande v?rd samt generell sjukv?rd. H?lsostandarden ?r l?gre i denna samh?llsgrupp ?n i den generella populationen.

The expectations of a successful outcome are great during childbirth. The overall objective of prenatal care and birth care is that midwives contribute in creating the most positive experience of pregnancy, child birth and infancy as possible. During the past 30 years there has been a significant increase in sectiofrequency both in Sweden and the rest of the Western world. More parents feel an overall insecurity when it comes to child labour. The purpose of this study was to describe how midwives experience the work of creating a sense of security and good nursing when meeting the expectant parents.

The purpose of this essay is to examine and compare the news covering of Swedens three biggest cities (the metropolitan areas) and their surrounding areas with the covering of the rest of the country (the provincial areas) in two daily national newspapers, Aftonbladet and Dagens Nyheter. The aim has been to answer the following questions:- What amount of the news coverage in Aftonbladet and Dagens Nyheter concern the metropolitan areas compared to the provincial areas, and how do these two newspapers differ in the news covering of these areas?- Is there a difference in the news articles size and content, depending on weather they concern the metropolitan or the provincial areas?- How has the balance between news concerning metropolitan and provincial areas changed over the recent 20 years?The theories used in this study are News values, the media commercialization and Popular Journalism, and The Agenda Setting Theory. The method that has been used is a Quantitative Content Analysis.Despite the essays hypothesis, that the news coverage in the two newspapers would be dominated by material from the metropolitan areas, the result showed that a majority of the examined articles concern the provincial areas. It also showed that Aftonbladet has a bigger percentage of provincial news than Dagens Nyheter.

In tune with the cross-border trade the infringement of intellectual property rights has become a growing problem in Europe and the rest of the world. In June 2008 negotiations about a new international agreement was initiated between Europe, its member states and ten other countries, which will restrict infringements of intellectual property rights. The agreement is called ACTA, which stands for Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement. On January 26, 2012 the European Union (EU) and twenty-two of its twenty-seven member states signed a letter of intent to the agreement and the EU?s internal processes of the agreement began.

I wrote this essay with the aim to explore, understand and get some insights into what it is that effects the possibilities to plan for ecological sustainability and make it happen. There is no clear definition of sustainable development but world top meetings and reports have developed goals and strategies. I will present some of the theory at hand but most of this essay is based on six interviews with planners at local governments from around the country. Several of the local governments are using the goals issued by the state government by putting them into their large scale plans. During the interviews some obstacles were identified, like a lack of resourses, disadvantaging powerstruktures, conflicts with marketeconomy and simply different meenings about what ecological sustainability is in practice. My method of getting information through interviews and documenting them by taking notes had, as all methods, it?s weakneses.

Vi lever idag i ett samha?lle fullt av obalanser. Det ga?r att se hur ett konsumtionssamha?lle va?xt fram, grundat i en o?kad tillfredsta?llelse o?ver materiella ting. Ett samha?lle som besitter oha?llbara verktyg och ideal fo?r att skapa va?lsta?nd, och i sin tur har negativ pa?verkan pa? miljo?n.

 This report will describe a project between two students from Karlstad University and Markus Norström from Hovercraft solutions. The project aim was to develop a cabin for the hovercraft 380TD. The project was divided into two sub parts; one concerning the design of the cabin and one concerning the engineering. Throughout this rapport you can follow the engineering part of the project. The project has followed a systematic product development process resulting in optimized results for material selection and engineering solutions.

Genom denna studie har jag a?mnat att analysera hur svensk nyhetspress gett uttryck fo?r en ikonisk ha?ndelse i hanteringen av Sverigedemokraterna i samband med att dessa blev invalda i Riksdagen ho?sten 2010. Syftet med studien har varit att utifra?n mina teoretiska utga?ngspunkter se vad en ikonisk ha?ndelse betyder i nyhetspressens rapportering kring Sverigedemokraterna i samband med valet och en tid efter detta. Utga?ngspunkterna i studien har utgjorts av teorier med fokus pa? tendenser i hur media skildrar betydande ha?ndelser, samt det kollektiva minnet.

The aim of this study was to create an understanding of how a group of community policing officers engagement are shaped. Previous research argues that there is a police culture which conveys cynicism to the individual police. The research also says that the police adopt a pessimistic view of society, they are isolated and at odds with the rest of society. Furthermore, research has also shown how a narrative can exist that explains the police way of doing things. My contribution to the field is to explore how a narrative can be located, which precedes and shapes the police engagement.

Along with rising energy prices and increasing awareness of environmental issues, the criteria for buildings energy performance have been sharpened through the years. Today, ?passive house? and ?low energy house? are commonly used phrases in the construction industry and is expected to become increasingly common in the future.For houses with well-insulated building envelope the importance of well constructed details increases when minimizing the heat losses. Examples of these details are floor-wall junction and window openings in the wall. In such connections thermal bridges occur, which means that heat more easily is transported out of the building, compared to the rest of the building envelope.This report deals with detail solutions around windows and a comparison between a traditional slab and a foundation from Koljern consisting of foam glass.

 The sawmill industry is a relative fragmented industry that is in an economic upswing andwith a hard competition. The customers have high demands on their suppliers and the highcustomer demand make it necessary for the companies to make a streamlining in planningand production. For that reason it is very important that the planning- and productionprocesses aren?t to complex and with a simple structure.The purpose of this report is to study and map out a marked out part of a planning- andproduction process, from adjust works to final delivery, at a company in the sawmill industry.Different methods have been used for the report, among others interviews and subordinatedmaterial.We have mapped out a marked out part of the planning- and production process at theCompany. This part we have studied, and we have analysed the process it self and otherthings connected to the process.We see the planning- and production process in the Company as complex.
