För att behålla kroppens fungerande temperatur vid utövande av aktivitet krävs träningskläder i ett material som kan transportera fukten från kroppen och samtidigt minimera ansamlingen av vätska på huden. Utvecklingen av nya material med förbättrade funktioner går ständigt framåt. I denna rapport har olika fibrer jämförts för att kunna komma fram till vilket material samt passform och varukonstruktion som lämpar sig i ett underställ avsett för män vid utövande av medelhög vinteraktivitet. Resultatet skall ligga till grund för en produktutveckling av ett underställ åt företaget Salming Outdoor. Grunden lades genom en utförlig materialinsamling där artiklar och litteratur inom ämnet granskades.

NCC ROADS Sweden east is a part of the NCC Corporation. The company mainly produces aggregates, asphalt and concrete. They have taken the environmental issues seriously and been working with that since the middle of the nineties. When manufacturing asphalt large a quantity of fossil energy is needed. The company is now about to make further progresses by manufacturing environmental friendly asphalt (?green asphalt?) with using bio-energy.

This thesis concerns the policy process of a proposed bill. The specific bill constitute a new penal law which is supposed to replace the old penal law from 1974.The questions asked considers what in the foregoing policy process that has proceeded, affected and also characterizes the proposed bill. In order to be able to produce a deep and reliable analysis to this question I use two different theories.The first theory being used consists of John W. Kingdons theory of ?multiple streams? which I use to answer the specific question ?what can be recognized to have proceeded and characterize the policy process that the penal law bill involve??.The second theory consists of Peter Santesson-Wilsons development of symbolic policy theories which is given a concrete form in the ?taxonomy of symbolic policy? which he presents.

Background: Due to outsourcing, the material flows in the telecom equipment industry have undergone major changes, which in turn has imposed new challenges for packaging supplier Nefab who delivers to the industry. In order to achieve market intelligence, Nefab wants to map the material flows, and investigate possibilities of further reusable logistical packaging systems.Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to describe the typical features of the logistical material flows in a technically based, rapidly growing industry, and analyze the driving forces and obstacles, which influence the selection of logistical packaging system. Procedure: After developing a theoretical framework consisting of general logistical theories and theories related to logistical packaging, we have interviewed companies in the logistics channel of Ericsson Radio Systems.Results: We have found the main characteristics of material flows in our investigated industry to be Variations in Demand, Focus on Time-to-Customer, and Globalization of Logistics Channels. Regarding driving forces and obstacles in the selection of logistical packaging systems, we have identified Transportation Characteristics, Customer Demands, Quality, Handling & Administration, and Current Packaging System as important factors..

The purpose of this study was to gain greater knowledge of how preschool teachers and children using an experimental- and activity box in biology. To find this out, I have used the participant observation method and semi-structured interviews since my study is qualitative. The result of the work led to a greater understanding of the biologybox. It was shown that preschool teachers' involvement is very important for children and that the biologybox contained good and inspiring materials. Although educators desired that there was more material to choose from as well as the usage time of the biologybox should be longer than 3 weeks..

From the customer?s perspective the only reason for a firm to exist is the value it creates. However, a problem within manufacturing companies is that of the total lead time, only a small part can be considered as value adding. It has further been discovered that when working with improvements businesses often sub-optimizes single processes instead of considering what benefits the entire company. Thus, when improving processes and activities it is important to have knowledge about and understand which factors that affect how the flow can be designed.Several studies have been performed with a wide perspective on process flows in order to obtain a more resource-efficient and value added flow.

Syftet med arbetet är att konstruera en vardaglig jacka som fungerar oavsett väder, genom att undersöka krav och behov, kartlägga tillgängliga metoder, samt möjligheter att enbart använda ytbehandling som regnskydd. Kraven ställs genom att studera litteratur, samt genom en enkätundersökning. Metoderna att uppnå vattentäta textilier kategoriseras i tre grupper; mikroporösa beläggningar och laminat, hydrofila beläggningar och laminat och väldigt tätvävt material. Dess egenskaper presenteras i rapporten, framförallt tätvävt material som visade sig vara det mest passande material för jackans syfte. Möjligheten att uppnå tillräcklig vattentäthet med enbart ytbehandling testades genom att behandla olika bomullstyger, med ytbehandlingar av olika substanser.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate in which aspects the public library is affected by its local community. This is re-searched by means of an exemplified case study of a Swedish public library in which we analyze governing documents and the library website with respect to environmental scanning and mar-keting of library services.The research questions are: How are the local community?s demands on the public li-brary being described in the governing document? How is the public library?s response to the demands of the local community being described in the operational plan? How are the demands of the local community, as shown in the governing document and the operational plan, re-flected in the marketing of library services on the library website?Our conclusions are that:The demands of the local community are described in a general fashion in the governing document, but there is a lack of concrete political guidelines.The public library's response to the demands of the local commu-nity is described to some length in the operational plan, but not with respect to economical factors.The demands of the local community are reflected to some length in the marketing of library services on the library website. Many of the overall themes that we identify in the governing document and the operational plan can be found in the marketing directed towards important target groups..

Syftet med studien är att undersöka vad som är legitimt återbruk och användning av någon annans tidigare designat material, i nya formgivna produkter eller verk. Frågeställningarna som diskuterats i arbetet är; Hur mycket av någon annans tidigare formgivna material får återanvändas i kommersiella återbruksprodukter?Vad är legitimt bruk av ?ready-mades? i konstnärliga verk?Anses det vara ett konstnärligt verk när konstnären inte själv åstadkommit alla delar av verket? Dessa frågeställningar har diskuterats utifrån juridiska och moraliska perspektiv. Som metod användes en litteraturbaserad studie av juridisk litteratur som behandlar immaterialrätt, avgränsat till bestämmelser av lag i Sverige. De juridiska reglerna jämfördes sedan med etiska teorier.

Syftet med denna undersökning är att lyfta fram hur förskollärarna tänker i sina didaktiska val av lekmaterial i den fria leken. Dessa val kan påverka barns lärande och utveckling i den fria leken genom regler gällande olika materials användande. Genom material kan barn i sin fantasi omvandla ett material med ett specifikt användningsområde till något helt annat, då barn gärna transformerar material så de passar in i den fria leken. Dessa tankar baseras på det sociokulturella perspektivet.Metoden som används är intervjuer då utgångspunkten är att förstå och beskriva hur förskollärare tänker om sitt handlande, vår ansats utgår därför från ett kognitivistiskt perspektiv. Resultatet baseras på sex intervjuer av förskollärare.Resultatet som framkom i undersökningen var att samtliga förskollärare tänkte på att ge barnen fri tillgång till allt material i en tillåtande miljö.

Syftet med uppsatsen var att ta reda på mer om matematiksvårigheter och pedagogers syn och erfarenhet av detta. Syftet var även att finna ny kunskap om olika arbetssätt, vilket resulterade i insikten om olika laborativa material och dess betydelse för matematikundervisningen.Författarna valde att genomföra studien med hjälp av att låta pedagogerna skriva berättelser. För att vinna ny kunskap har författarna delvis använt sig av hermeneutisk metod för att se helheten genom de olika komplexa delarna.I studien har det visat sig att det är flera faktorer som påverkar elevers matematiska svårigheter. Det kan vara allt ifrån den kognitiva förmågan hos eleven till den omgivande miljön.Uppsatsen har givit författarna många tankar kring hur man kan arbeta med framförallt laborativt material. Några spännande förslag finns under sammanfattande avslutning där de presenterar vad man skulle kunna studera vidare..

The purpose of this essay is to examine Prostitutionsgruppens ("Prostitution group") concrete operation, its organisation and how the group have changed since sexköpslagens ("sexbuy law") incorporated.Prostitutionsgruppen was founded in 1981 and have been working against prostitution. Their main goal is to reduce the damage of prostitution. Their work consists of treatment and reaching out to help prostitutes. Another part of their work is to change the public attitude towards prostitution. They act as intermediary of the knowledge they have gained through meeting people in prostitution.I have interviewed one social worker in the group and researched earlier literature.

AbstractThe purpose of my study is to compare Sten Rydhs wiew of learning disabilities in mathematics and his education with current literature and research.
