The objective of this study is to investigate a new pedagogical material called 4DFrame, how it is experienced by informants and how suitable it is in education - in particular mathematics. Socioculturalperspective has a central role in this study when students are given opportunities for linguistic and social interaction during the experiment with the new pedagogical material. The methodology for this study has been visits, interviews, and observations. The study reveals that there are different views on the didactic potential for mathematics of the new teaching material, though no conclusions can be drawn regarding whether this material is more or less suitable in teaching since no research have been found that compares this with other pedagogical materials. Both national and international studies show the need to find alternative and better ways to make mathematic education meaningful.

Boendesegregationsfrågan har under de senaste åren fått en allt större uppmärksamhet. Den negativa samhällsutvecklingen i samband med koncentrationen av fattiga invånare och minoritetsgrupper i vissa bostadsområden väckte även intresset för grannskapseffekter. När effekterna blir negativa för de boende blir det genast befogat att finna lösningar för att åtgärda problemen. Det har under årens gång därför riktats satsningar mot de utsatta områdena för att motverka boendesegregationen och dess effekter, en typ av satsning som senare fått motstå mycket kritik. Idag råder det en allmän samsyn bland politiker, beslutsfattare och planerare om att boendesegregationsproblematiken kan åtgärdas om de socialt utsatta områdena blir mer socialt blandade.

Aphasia is a disease that brings on disability. The purpose of the study is to describe the daily life when afflicted with aphasia and gain a deeper understanding of persons with aphasia in working ages. The study was made with a qualitative approach with a combination of data sources; literature, internet lectures, live lectures, interviews with personnel in medical and educational services and three persons with aphasia. More research in aphasiology is welcome. This may be aimed at developing knowledge about the importance of communication, of active participation in the social environment, and the achievement of improved attitudes towards people with disabilities. The study should give rehabilitation actors and close relations knowledge and support in their action when they meet people with aphasia..

Olika sorters val utgör en viktig grundkomponent i ett spel. Det här arbetet tar avstamp i self-determination theory, som påvisar ett samband mellan valfrihet, inre motivation och inlevelse, och undersöker hur en viss sorts val kan påverka spelares inlevelse. Kan större valfrihet medföra större inlevelse i dataspel och kan vissa sorters val skapa olika förutsättningar för de tre inlevelsetyperna narrativ-, spatial- och ludisk inlevelse?Studien gjordes genom att sex testpersoner spelade olika versioner av ett spel med olika grader av valfrihet och sedan svarade på en kort intervju. Resultaten skiljde sig dock inte nämnvärt åt mellan de olika versionerna.

Munksjökajen is an old industrial estate on the western shore of Munksjön in Jönköping. The purpose of this thesis is to develop Munksjökajen in accordance with the program for Jönköping?s future development ? Stadsbyggnadsvisionen ? drawn up by the city council.Munksjökajens relations to the surrounding areas have been investigated as well as the need for public transport and possibilities for commercial, municipal and private businesses to operate in the area.The final proposal has a relatively high degree of preserved industrial buildings. New buildings vary in shape and expression in order to create an interesting and diverse environment. The proximity to the lake adds character to the neighbourhood and the water is accentuated by the integration of it in the area..

This paper examines the customer relationships of a telecom operator and how their customer accounting is done. The aim is to use the framework developed by Lind & Strömsten (2006) to categorize customer relationships and see to what extent the framework predicts which type of customer accounting method is used for each customer relationship. A case study was made at Telenor Sverige AB where different customer relationships are identified and linked to the customer accounting techniques that are used for financial measurement of the customers. Findings include that all but one of the customer relationships described in the framework were recognized at Telenor and that most customer accounting techniques mentioned in the framework were in fact used and associated with different customer relationships. The results of the case study also highlight that some differences exist between the predictions of the framework and the observations at Telenor..

Detta examensarbete handlar om lokalisering och utformning av hållplatser på en föreslagen spårvägssträcka mellan Helsingborg och Höganäs i nordvästra Skåne. Det huvudsakliga syftet är att utforma hållplatsmiljöer och färdvägar på ett så tillgängligt, trafiksäkert och tryggt sätt som möjligt. Hänsyn tas även till befintliga och nya utbyggnadsområden samt spårvägens resandeunderlag. Den för spårväg föreslagna kuststräckan kallas Höganässtråket och här ligger finns förutom Helsingborg och Höganäs även tätorterna Lerberget, Viken, Domsten, Hittarp - Laröd och Mariastaden. Spårvägens sträckning är i grova drag utpekad av Stadsbyggnadskontoret i Helsingborgs stad och spårvägen bör gå centralt genom samtliga tätorter så att resandeunderlaget blir så högt som möjligt.

Naturmark har en tendens att bortprioriteras vid exploatering. Forskning visar på att gröna miljöer som utgörs av naturmark har en större positiv inverkan på människans välbefinnandeän planterad grönska. Det är därför av stor vikt att tillgången på naturmark tillgodoses vid planeringen av nya bostäder. En naturmiljö som inte upplevs ha ett rekreationsvärde kan med rätt kunskap och skötsel omvandlas till ett uppskatt at vistelseområde. För att åstadkomma detta krävs information och engagemang genom hela planprocessen.

Problem: The relations between first and second tier suppliers within the automotive industry have changed drastically during recent years. Previously involving the supply of simple components, today the relation involves collaborative product development of complex subsystems. The situation is rather new for the actors, hence there are a number of problems that act as restraints for the collaboration. In order to come to terms with these problems, it is important to determine the underlying causes. Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to make a survey of the main problems in the collaborative product development between first and second tier suppliers within the Swedish automotive industry.

This essay is about the origin, planning and establishment of the European Space Research Organisation's (ESRO) sounding rocket base Esrange outside Kiruna in Northern Sweden. Three main questions are examined. First I show there were not just scientific and technical but also political, economical as well as military reasons to build a European rocket base. Second, I scrutinize the reasons to choose Northern Sweden as the location for the rocket base. As it turns out, the main reasons were the favourable location of Northern Sweden within the aurora oval zone, the proximity of the Kiruna Geophysical Observatory, and the possibility to use a large, although not quite uninhabited, area where the launched rockets could crash.

The shopping mall is a reflection of the city and its habitants, a concentrate of the modern city. I have studied the dialogues of malls and the communication within, how malls are put together and what they communicate. The city is constantly changing. As soon as we try to grasp the city, it slips away. My opinion is that city planners and landscape architects need to widen their views. City planning needs to develop to better fit to the changes of our modern cities.

The purpose with this study was to get a deeper understanding of how the social welfare secretaries experience the meeting with clients.Our main questions were how the social welfare secretaries thinks about their own way to behave in the meeting with clients, which difficulties/obstacles there can be a and which factors they think affect the meeting. What is it that makes the social welfare secretaries experience a meeting as good or less good.Theory used: ?naive theory? and ?theory of communication?. The social welfare secretaries emphasised the importance of respect and clarity in their relations with the clients. By contrast with literature, the hover between power and support was not found difficult.The goal is that the social welfare secretaries and the clients understand each other and that they reach the purpose with the meeting..

Arbetet bygger på att de informationssystem som används idag men som blir allt äldre och därigenom inte klarar de krav som ställs på dem. Detta medför att informationssystemen måste migreras till modernare plattformar, då företagen dels inte klarar sig utan dess nuvarande funktionalitet och dels måste vidareutveckla systemen.Detta arbete tar upp olika sätt som detta kan genomföras på och vilka problem som kan komma att uppstå när detta sker. För att kunna undersöka detta så genomfördes ett antal migrationer. Språken som migrationen kommer att ske mellan är Visual Basic 6 och Visual Basic .net. Migrationerna kommer att ske med hjälp av ett migrationsverktyg, samt ett ramverk som i arbetet skräddarsys för just arbetets typ av migrationer.Det arbetet kommer fram till är att det sker problem vid användande av ett verktyg och även att det inte ger tillräckligt med respons på vad som gått snett under migrationerna..

Background: Once upon a time the most important resources in an economy were tangible goods. Historically, Swedish company culture has been dominated by engineering and techni-cal innovation has been the focal point. Today, Intangible values drive product development and form a company?s differentiation. Intangibles have therefore become the most prominent resources in a company.
