GBD-Storage Systems is a company that provides the industries with products for efficient storage.The company produces pallet racks and accessories like cassettes and extending units. The companyhas also supplied tire racks for a number of tire companies. The company's CEO Gunnar Berglund hasfor some time had an idea to improve the working situation of the workers on tire firms by allowingthe wheels to be handled by a counterbalance truck. The current situation poses numerous heavy liftswhen the tires are handled and therefore is hurting the workers.This thesis has been aiming at helping the GBD-Storage Systems by developing a concept of howan accessory to counterbalanced trucks can be designed to cope with the wheels. This concept willthen be produced as prototype by the company.

The aim in this bachelor thesis is to describe and analyze ritual performance and transference of religious traditions in some Hindu homes in Varanasi (India). In particular from the children?s perspective. The curriculum of Religious Education in the Swedish schooling system focuses on religious life, expression and practice.

The aim of this Master´s thesis is to examine the debate in Swedish library press concerning outsourcing of public libraries. The two magazines studied are BBL (Biblioteksbladet) and bis (bibliotek i samhälle). The period of time covered by the selected articles is 2005 to 2011. Although there are still quite few cases of tendering arrangements in Sweden, the question has been raised in the last years by the decision of the Municipality of Nacka (Stockholm) to outsource their public libraries. Another important factor for bringing the question into focus has been the general elections of 2006, which brought an alliance of right-wing parties to power.     In this thesis the arguments of the participants are documented and analyzed.

Facilitated by the breakthrough of the internet, new ways of organizing internet-based projects that harness the power of the crowds are becoming increasingly common. Today there are ways of using the crowd as paid labour, as funders of your new project ventures and even for helping scientists doing science. Staying true to its traditional principles of objectivity and trustworthiness while asking the crowd to contribute, crowd generated ?Citizen Science? does not provide even the slightest amount of pay in exchange for the time and effort put in by their contributors. Surely there can not be many people willing to do such a thing voluntarily? Actually, practice is showing the exact opposite with contributions counted in their millions among the more popular Citizen Science projects.

Vi har i denna uppsats diskuterat och belyst hur den optimala vägledningen skulle kunna se ut. Anledningen till detta är att vi planerar att starta ett eget företag inom vägledning och vi har genom detta examensarbete lagt grunden till en affärsidé kring hur vårt företag i framtiden kan arbeta med studie- och yrkesvägledning. Detta har vi gjort genom intervjuer med studie- och yrkesvägledare på Infoteket och Malmö högskola samt intervjuer med sökande som varit och besökt dessa verksamheter. Vi har kommit fram till att varken Malmö högskola eller Infoteket bedriver det som vi efter denna uppsats anser vara den optimala vägledningen. Verksamheterna har inte någon möjlighet att individanpassa vägledningen på ett sådant sätt att vi kallar det optimalt, de väljer ibland att inte klargöra ramar och samtalsinnehåll för de sökande dessutom känner de sökande ibland att de inte satt igång någon process överhuvudtaget när de gått därifrån.

Non-compulsory schools in Sweden should make use of the knowledge and experience that is available in society according to the aims and objectives of the Curriculum for the Non-Compulsory School System - Lpf 94. There are however only a few studies which have focused on the contacts between non-compulsory schools and society as represented by the business world in Sweden.The purpose of this study is to examine in what ways and to what extent non-compulsory schools are following the Curriculum by using the knowledge and experience of the business world. The perspectives have been: Which contacts in the business world and which working practices from the business world are implemented in teaching in non-compulsory schools? In what way do these contacts and working practices affect the teaching and learning of business administration? The purpose of this study is also to examine if the teachers in non-compulsory schools use business information and different kinds of business knowledge and experiences in order to keep themselves up-to-date regarding the business world. The perspectives have been: Are the teachers using up-to-date business information or business experience? Are the teachers applying a multicultural perspective in teaching business studies? In what way does this kind of information or first-hand experience affect the teaching and learning of business administration?The method used in this study was to interview seven teachers from two non-compulsory schools in Stockholm.

Allianser och interventionerEn studie av hur familjer upplevt en öppenvårdsinsatsoch hur behandlingseffekt kvarstårSammanfattningI Sverige utreds årligen uppskattningsvis 100 000 barn av socialtjänstens individ- och famil-jeomsorg och antalet strukturerade öppenvårdprogram har i det närmaste fördubblats sedan 1999. Många av dessa insatser har kommit att ersätta den traditionella institutionsvården. I och med ökningen av att antalet unga som numera hamnar i strukturerade öppenvårdsprogram behövs mer kunskap om såväl innehåll som resultat. Denna studies syfte är att undersöka och belysa en öppenvårdsverksamhets, i en mellansvensk kommun, innehåll d.v.s. vilka föränd-ringar som familjerna kan beskriva har skett samt om positiva förändringar kvarstår efter be-handling.

Our society has faced monumental changes and therefore our working life has changed as well. We are now in the twentieth first century and still our labor market is gender-segregated. Today networking is an important part of working life and one cannot emphasize enough the importance of having good connections in your network. Networking is now seen as an important tool when it comes to your career. In the past networking has been the men?s arena and it has almost been seen as a male institution.

Sammanfattning Uppsatsens titel: Betydelsen av förtroende i ett strategiskt samarbete Seminariedatum: 2005-01-12 Kurs: FEK 582, Kandidatseminarium, 10 poäng Författare: Sofia Forsgren Malin Levén Christopher Norman Handledare: Nadja Sörgärde Fem nyckelord: Strategiska samarbeten, Förtroende, Förändring, SAS, Relationer Syfte: Syftet med vår uppsats är att undersöka hur det kommer sig att samarbetet mellan två parter i en strategisk allians kan fortsätta trots minskat förtroende. Metod: Vi använder oss av en kvalitativ undersökningsmetod där vårt fallföretag är SAS. Vår empiri består av både primär- och sekundärdata och ansatsen är av abduktiv natur. Teoretiska perspektiv: Det finns mycket forskning om strategiska allianser inom flygindustrin och teorin betonar vikten av ett gott förtroende mellan de samarbetande parterna. Uppenbart är dock att förtroendet mellan företagen sjunker när yttre faktorer tvingat en eller flera medlemmar i en allians att ändra sin strategi så att den i viss mån strider mot alliansens uttalade, såsom exempelvis i en lågkonjunktur.

This project investigates the cooperation between architect and engineer. The context of the investigation is the design of buildings for a sustainable society. The goal of the project is to further the development of the sustainable built society by increasing the knowledge of the interdisciplinary cooperation between these two fields. The focus is a close cooperation already from the start of a project. By involving both fields in the early design stages it is thought that the knowledge and skills of each field is better utilized.

Att samarbeta över företagsgränser är inget nytt fenomen, utan har förekommit sedan lång tid tillbaka som en lösning på omvärldens osäkerhet. Allt eftersom konkurrensen bland parter på marknaden växer blir den omgivande osäkerheten allt större. Detta medför att företag kontinuerligt söker nya möjligheter att överleva marknadens förändringar. Bildande av nätverk är därför något som under de senaste åren blivit ett alltmer populärt sätt för företag att hantera dessa omgivningsförändringar. En stor anledning till detta förfarande är att dagens företag inte besitter all den kunskap som behövs för att kunna konkurrera på marknaden, vilket kan erhållas genom ett nätverkssamarbete.

In this project I have created a design for the delivery rooms of Swedish hospitals with the psychological aspects ofbirthgiving in focus. This is something that I think the delivery rooms lack and so far it has been the midwifes job to,without any tools, give the women in labor the mental support and encouragement they need.My goal was to give the midwifes a tool to work with when it comes to encouragement, something helping themhelping the woman to feel safe and relaxed, strengthened, informed and in control of the situation.I choose to focus on the difficulties measuring the physical work the woman in labour had done and what was leftof the labour. I wanted to visualize the process of the birth, allowing the woman to see and being able to focus onwhere during the labour she is, how far she has left and also being strengthened by the amount of work already managed.Further I wanted to make the woman feel invited to take control over the birth and the room in which she isin labour. I wanted her to be able ? if she wanted ? to make her own settings of the mood in the room, deciding forherself if she wanted a more relaxed environment or perhaps a more energetic.

The constant need of energy is something that affects us all no matter our current situation. Whether we are driving our car to work, taking the elevator or using the oven to cook dinner we end up relying on energy. Our whole society is continuously striving to achieve a higher grade of efficiency and the process of supplying ourselves with energy is no exception. The importance of appliances in our everyday life cannot be exaggerated and thus the importance of their high efficiency.Efficiency is already a keyword in the appliance industry with labels, stars and numbers helping us choosing the most suitable option for the task ahead. No matter how efficient appliances often use pure electricity as their energy source.
