I det här examensarbetet har jag undersökt hur man genom illustration och visuella element som komposition, färg och stil kan gestalta ett fysiskt sällskapsspel som bjuder in barn i 3-5 års ålder till rörelse och reflektion. Teorier och forskning i ämnet har tillsammans med lokala intervjuer och verklighetsförankrade exempel stått som grund för examensarbetets resultat och slutprodukt, sällskapsspelet Funny Faces. Resultatet visar att Funny Faces genom ett twisterliknande koncept bjuder in barnen till rörelse, och genom sin specifika gestaltning och stora variation bjuder in barnen till reflektion. Resultatet visar också att komposition och utgångsspelet Twister var viktiga för sällskapsspelets rörelseaspekt, medan stil och lokala intervjuer var viktiga för sällskapsspelets reflektionsaspekt..

This study is based on interviews with four managers in public elderly care and four managers in private elderly care. The aim of this paper is to examine how these managers are experiencing their leadership in relation to conflict management, and if the managers leadership differs depending on private or public elderly care. Leadership and conflict management are theories that have been used in order to analyze the empirical findings. Previous research that has been used in the study concerns ?leadership/leadership styles?, ?conflict management?, ?to be active in the private/public elderly care?.

Furthermore, the focus was on the implementation of lgr11 and how it has worked out both on the national and local levels, with the help of, among other things Imsens "five Faces of the curriculum" and Lipsky theories of grassroots bureaucrats. The aim of the study was to investigate teachers' perceptions of differences in teaching and assessment in grades 7-9, during the changeover from Lpo94 both on lgr11.The questions developed for this purpose was: How do teachers say that their teaching changed in conjunction with curriculum change?

This report summarize what have been done during the Master of Science Thesis that Klas Schjelderup has written for the company RANOTOR Utvecklings AB. The company is developing modern steam engines and this work should develop a machine to perform tests on a new type of piston seal that hopefully could be used in the future. The steam engines will be both volumetric and energy compact, around 1600hp/literof cylinder volume, and it will have a lot of practical applications.The new type of piston seal is hydrostatic lubricated which means that a fluid is separating two Faces that normally is in contact. In this case pressurized water is used to separate the piston seal from the cylinder wall. RANOTOR have earlier formulated that at least the expander in the modern steam engine have to be oil-free, due to other components functionality in the closed water system.

An effective Integration policy is important in Sweden while our government has decided and committed to be a country where everybody will be given the same opportunities. There is a greater awareness in today?s society of integration policy goals such as equal rights, responsibilities and opportunities for all.

The main task for this thesis will be to examine the motive behind the Government's decision to revoke immigrations policy and introduce integration policy.

Detta arbete är ett examensarbete där en applikation för administration av utskick till studenter utvecklats. Syftet med arbetet är att förenkla arbetet för en lärare på Mittuniversitetet. Applikationen är skriven i Java och ramverket JavaServer Faces för att få applikationen tillgängligt i ett webbgränssnitt. Information om studenter och kurser läses in från textfiler och sparas i en databas. Användaren kan med hjälp av den inlästa och sparade informationen sortera ut efterfrågade studenter med dessa kriterier: olika kursinstanser, terminer, om studenterna är registrerade eller ej samt vilka utskick som sparats.

Fallstudie: Swedbank Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur ett varumärke kan framställas inom tre olika kontexter. Denna studie kommer att fokuseras kring aktörerna företag och konsument inom den interna företagsmiljön samt den fysiska och virtuella tjänstemiljön.Metod: Studien utgår från en etnografisk metod, där vi studerar och deltar i olika miljöer. För att erhålla datainsamling utfördes intervjuer, observationer samt dokumentanalys. Teoretisk referensram: Vi kritiserar traditionella brand management teorier kring företagets roll vid varumärkesskapande. Vi presenterar istället brand consumptions teorierna, eftersom dessa framhäver att varumärke skapas utav fler aktörer.
