Projektioner - subjektivitet och ansvar i gestaltandet :
With this paper my aim has been to investigate my subjectivity and responsibility as a
landscape architect and to find ways to relate to it and handle it in my work.
When I advocate a certain concept for a project, I influence the outcome, and in doing
so I take on a personal responsibility. Even though my judgement is built upon Facts and
cooperation with colleagues and other consultants, I am always responsible for the part I
play and how I affect the course of action. To what extent can I advocate my view and
is it actually my responsibility to do it? How is my subjectivity part of my knowledge
and influence as a landscape architect?
I have interviewed three well known Swedish landscape architects to have their view on
the matter. Since they are all strong individuals with huge experience and influence, the
personal responsibility they bring upon themselves for their design action is as
important.
I have also used one of my own projects as a case study, analysing my design and
standpoint and my relationship to the client to illustrate how these questions emerge
even in the smallest projects.
In the last section of the investigation I have searched for clues in diverse literature.
This section is divided into three view points; the society, the profession and the
individual..
An implementation of a rational, reactive agent
We are working on the development and design of an approach to agents that can reason, react to the environment and are able to update their own knowledge as a result of new incoming information. In the resulting framework, rational, reactive agents can dynamically change their own knowledge bases as well as their own goals. An agent can make observations, learn new Facts and new rules from the environment, and then update its knowledge accordingly. The knowledge base of an agent and its updating mechanism has been implemented in Logic Programming. The agent?s framework is implemented in Java.

Låsanordning med induktiv laddning för elcyklar
This thesis has been adjusted because some parts are classified, some sentences might have been changed. Electric bikes are a convenient mode of transport, a good choice when long distances or tough slopes can be an obstacle.The goal of the project was to create a prototype on a locking mechanism with an inductive charger for electric bikes.The idea behind the project was to develop a user-friendly locking mechanism, where the bikes would be charged inductively when they were locked. To implement the project Facts about induction, battery charging and locking devices was needed to be acquired. Circuits for induction charging were created and a lock device was constructed. A microprocessor was used to control the entire system.A prototype was designed with a locking device and an inductive charger fixed in a bike rack.The entire project became very wide which resulted in that not all of the parts of the project could be completed.

Kunskapssamhället och skolan - vilken framtid möter våra lärare, elever och bibliotekarier?
The essay concerns "the knowledge society", IT and the possibilities of school being changedto meet the future. The purpose was to reflect the ideas of researchers and authorities concerningwork and education in "the knowledge society" and to illuminate/shed light on theimportance of information technology in this connection, to map organizational and pedagogicalshortcomings in the current school system and the changes that can be needed, and to investigatehow these changes can affect teachers, pupils and librarians.The investigation, which was a text analysis of normative and futurist sources, was especiallydirected towards how modem information technology can influence education/teaching.The differences between researchers and authorities were most obvious in the view of theimportance of knowledge of Facts and central control mechanisms for standards or grading.For the authorities, who were devoid of a thought out/carefully prepared and consequent viewof knowledge and by that also of pedagogics, the information technique was the foremostcause of a change in pedagogy. The researchers also perceived the possibilities of IT, butemphasized the importance of pedagogical innovations irrespective of the technology.
Vetenskap eller pseudovetenskap? : En utvärdering av giltigheten i Poppers kritik gentemot Freuds psykoanalytiska teori på basis av demarkationskriteriet
In this essay I evaluate the legality of Karl Popper?s criticism against psychoanalysis, regarding this theory of Freud?s being pseudoscientific. Popper?s criticism is based on his theory of demarcation in which he states that an empirical theory must be possible to test by observations in order to be, as most important is, hypothetically possible to falsify based on other empirical statements ? often in the form of new found Facts that contradict the original statement/theory. In purpose of assessing Popper?s criticism I perform a modified idea analysis, based on a book by Evert Vedung (1977).
