The purpose of introducing an alternative shelf arrangement in a public library is often to facilitate for its users.

The aim of this study was to investigate leadership in public health care. The methods used were shadowing and semi-structured interviews. The shadowing involved observing the shared leadership of two head nurses in an administrative management position of a ward in their daily work during two weeks. The observation was supplemented by ten semi-structured interviews. A thematic analysis of the data was carried out and the result indicated that shared leadership is a form of leadership well suited for an organisation as big and complex as the clinic where the study took place.

The point of departure for this essay is the observation that themunicipality of Lund is giving priority to handicap associations overother forms of associations.

Background:Companies of today commonly search to gain competitive advantages throughout different forms of co-operation, one of which is referred to as Supply Chain Management. Although little research has been assigned to the topic of how to manage and control this type of relation, lately a growing number of academics has been arguing that ABC is an appropriate mean of controlling this type of relationships.Purpose:The purpose of this thesis is to investigate to what degree the ongoing debate on the use of ABC as a mean of control within SCM correspond to the present theories related to ABC and SCM respectively.Research method:The thesis takes it?s starting point within the literature, meaning that the empirical information consists of published articles in the ongoing debate. This information is put in relation to the original theories concerning both topics.Conclusions:The results shown in the thesis in some content agrees with the ongoing debate referring to the positive aspects that could result from using ABC as a mean of control within SCM. However the main result of the study is the discovery of a lack of discussion concerning the problems that implementing ABC within SCM might implicate, a fact that we believe contributes to the mainly positive view on using ABC within Supply Chain Management..

Social support is an important part of handling the troubles of life.

This thesis is about sustainability within chemistry, the so-called, green chemistry. With this work  I seek to combine green chemistry with sustainable  development  and find methods for teaching green chemistry in a laboratory environement.  I have designed  and tested two labs with ingredients of green  chemistry and sustainable development in my study. I wanted to determine if my design model  leads to conception for the students. The students have through forms and interviews declared their perspective on the education and their conception. In a laboratory environment the pros of a laboratory way of work should be recognized.

With this master thesis we wanted to find out in which way the concept of public service is connected to different perspectives, ideals, visions of the future and forms of organizations.

Energimätning och övervakning kan bidra till minskad energiförbrukning genom att hjälpa en användare att ta beslut över energianvändandet. Valet av examensarbete gjordes p.g.a. behovet att ge användarna möjlighet att påverka sin energiförbrukning och övervaka sina elprodukter. Ett koncept togs fram där toppvärden på spänning och ström, effektfaktor, spänning-ens vågform, aktiv, reaktiv och skenbar effekt mättes. Samtliga värden skickades till en server som lagrade informationen och innehöll en hem-sida för presentation.

Detta arbete undersöker huruvida sättet information i spel presenteras på, kan påverka en individs inlärning. Undersökningen fokuserar på två olika teorier inom inlärning, den ena är behaviorismen och den andra är lärandet som en social process eller sociokultur som den också kan kallas. Två versioner av ett spel har skapats där respektive lärandeteori har använts. Undersökningen har därefter gjorts på två urvalsgrupper som fått spela igenom spelen för att sedan svara på kunskapsfrågor. Resultatet från de två urvalsgrupperna var spridda, där den yngre målgruppen gynnades mer av ett behavioristiskt lärande, medan den äldre gruppen gynnades mer av det sociokulturella.

Det här examensarbetet utforskar spel som redskap för stresshantering och avslappning. Jag undersöker vilka stressreducerande moment från verkligheten som skulle kunna passa i ett spel, hur de kan implementeras, och vilken effekt de kan tänkas ha i virtuell form. För att avgöra vilka moment som kunde vara lämpliga gjorde jag en litteraturstudie och en pilotundersökning. I mitt praktiska arbete utforskade jag hur dessa kan implementeras i en virtuell miljö. Jag skrev en spelidé och gjorde en samling skisser som jag skapade en interaktiv presentation av.

Syftet med arbetet är att utforma och genomföra ett test för fördröjd imitation och visuell uppmärksamhet hos barn i åldern fyra till sju år. Testet använde sig av objekt i olika handlingssekvenser. Deltagarna visades dessa och med hjälp av en ögonrörelsekamera kunde områden för visuell uppmärksamhet identifieras. Studien har utförts som ett pilottest till en större studie vid Linköpings universitet. Testet omfattade åtta deltagare och visade att den utformade proceduren fungerar bra, detta för att det tydde på att det skett en imitation, att den visuella uppmärksamheten ligger på relevanta områden och att uppgifterna ej var för svåra.
