Similar to work of the feminist movement in the seventies, you nowadays can see an increased level of textile art expressions with feminist standpoints. In this thesis I compare two textile artists from each time period. These are Maria Adlercreutz with her composition I hennes ögon bevaras folkets ljus from 1972, and Lisa Anne Auerbach?s exhibition Chicken Strikken from 2012. The aim is to put the two artists in a contemporary context and explore their feministic approaches in the textile field.

The eld of Brain-computer interfaces (BCI) concerns linking together an external device with the brain of a human or an animal. By doing this the conventional use of a mouse or keyboard can be circumvented, which can greatly benefit people with different types of diseases that cause paralysis or other loss of motor control, such as Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). A BCI can also be used for cognitive training of either healthy or mentally impaired subjects to increase cognitive capabilities.In this thesis an implementation of an interface is made against such a device, the Emotiv EPOC Headset. The result is meant to be a stable basis for further study using the device. An in-depth study of the history of EEG and its current use in clinical work and research in the topics of BCI as well as Human-computer interaction (HCI) is presented.

The aim of this work is to examine methodologies at remedial lessons for children with weak mobility, in a common Swedish municipal school in an attempt to determine if a connection to theoretical learning exists.Kadesjö describes how difficulties in concentration can arise as a result of problems with mobility and perception, and according to Piaget very young children develop cogitation through physical movements. These connections are not news but always current.At the meeting with Lasse the question was born whether learning problems in school that are a result of concentration difficulties, could be countered with mobility training.By the selection of Life history as method, it?s possible to follow a physical educator's experiences through his 30 years of work, and to some extent even his private life. Experiences and results are notified from a historical perspective from 1976 until 2006.He is bringing us on a journey that shows the changes in methodology and results after his contact with Sensomotoriskt Centrum..

In this Bachelor Thesis (20 p.), we present the history and development of "Intelligent Houses", and most important- explore some of the future possibilities in this area. The project has been carried out through an interdisciplinary cooperation between three different educations at the Blekinge Institute of Technology. By conducting a dialogue with various actors with different professions, we have been trying to identify needs within the concept of "Intelligent Houses", were the end user is not only the tenant or homeowner. Through Participatory Design methods, such as a Future Workshop, we have brought the users together to discuss their own and each others needs and hindrances in their respective work practice, and how intelligent house technology could improve their work conditions. We have also been testing a highly sophisticated CO/CO2/Moisture/Temperature/Enthalpy multi-sensor & controller, originally developed for regulating indoor climate systems.

Since 1865 when Lubbock introduced the Palaeolithic and Neolithic to the surrounding archaeological world there has been an apparent problematic in how we define the different periods. When the Mesolithic age was introduced to fill the hiatus between the Palaeolithic and Neolithic, the problematic became even more noticeable. By examine different subjects which distinguish the different periods I wish to highlight the problematic in viewing them as characteristics. The problem lies in seeing the characteristics as defining only one period when they actually can be seen in two or all three of the periods. I then tried to give the different period's new better suited definitions.

In this paper, I have proposed a way of interpreting the philosophical subject of the Discours de la méthode that has remained relatively unexplored by contemporary commentators. By investigating the subjectivity that is expressed through Descartes? use of architectural metaphors, I laid bare some of the difficulties inherent in its discursive structure, as well as suggesting that the cogito in fact repeats and inscribes itself into this structure. In this context, the metaphor of the road (or travel) takes a supplementary role in relation to the architectural metaphor, marking the very conditions of existence of the architectonic subject. The subject, in order that it may establish itself as ?pure? and ?independent? thought, is dependent on a certain ?forgetfullness?; that is, only by forgetting its constitutive dependence on the diversity and historicity that is signified by the metaphor of travel, can it establish itself as its own source.

Organisationsförändring och dess effekter är något som många upplever. Syftet med studien är att med utgångspunkt i ett arbetslivspedagogiskt perspektiv beskriva och analysera individers uppfattning av en organisationsförändring inom sjukvården. Uppfattningarna analyseras huvudsakligen ur ett organisationskulturellt perspektiv.Uppsatsen bygger på en empirisk undersökning, med kvalitativ induktiv ansats. Intervjuer har genomförts med tre sjuksköterskor och tre undersköterskor verksamma vid två olika avdelningar på ett sjukhus i Skåne, där verksamhetsledningen beslutat om och genomfört en organisationsförändring, en sammanslagning av två avdelningar.I intervjuerna framkommer att merparten av personalen själva önskat en sammanslagning, inte minst utifrån behovet av en ny chef. Denna önskan är enligt respondenterna, en av avdelningarnas främsta syfte till organisationsförändringen.

Syftet med uppsatsen är att ta reda på hur lärare som har blivit mobbade som barn anser att förebyggande mobbningsarbete bör bedrivas. Den undersöker även hur deras utsatthet som barn påverkat deras lärarroll. Undersökningen är gjord genom kvalitativa intervjuer med två lärare och två lärarstudenter. En av slutsatserna är att lärarna påverkats mycket av sin bakgrund vad gäller deras sätt att förhålla sig till både starka och svaga elever. De har generellt svårare för att relatera till elever som påminner om de personer som utsatte dem som barn.

Uppsatsen behandlar barns begär så som den beskrivs i ett par utvalda barnböcker som analyseras djupare. Detta utifrån en analysmodell inspirerad av Butler och Foucault.Uppsatsen gör en historisk skildring över barndomsbegreppets tillkomst och synen på barnet och begäret. Hur den skiftat över tid, och hur barnet gjorts oskuldsfullt och hur en vilja att skydda och disciplinera det blivit dominerande. Textbehandlingen och analysen vill visa på möjligheterna att studera kön bortom det biologiska könet och också bortom genus. Här problematiseras kön djupare och barnets begär sätts in i ett kulturellt sammanhang.

The Swedish armed forces are facing a change, a change in both organization and profession. From a conscript military service system, the Swedish Armed Forces has changed to having full-time contracted soldiers. Conscript military service has a history of over a hundred years; it was introduced in 1901 and has survived two world wars and the Cold War.The Swedish armed forces have changed to have contracted soldiers. My reflection is whether the armed forces really have had time for this changes that the new professionalization has meant. Today the Swedish armed forces consists of contracted soldiers, soldiers who are employed full time and costs the armed forces a lot of money.

The role of Art in Healthcare and its requirements through a study of Diagnostic Center (DC), a Hospital with Art and Architecture integrated.Issues: Who selected Art for DC and on what foundations? How are Art and Architecture integrated, and what is the established knowledge of Art in Healthcare?Studies of reference material, theses, research articles and interviews. Hermeneutic and discourse analyses were used.Theorists: Barthes, Bourdieu, Foucault, Arnheim, Sjögren, Rasmussen.Results: A regional group selected local Art, mainly nonfigurative, and integrated it early in the architectural process. A stimulating non-traditional hospital environment with a modern design and two artists created work specifically for the environment.Art affects our Health and Caring Sciences is a scientific field that is studying how art affects patients and staff. It is relatively new but it is growing into a vast field of research, learning more about Art's effect on Health..

The purpose of this essay was to compare the Swedish and the Japanese pension system and see if there were any big differences or similarities. I was looking for answers to such questions as if the systems were modelled with the problematic demographic situation in mind and also how these two countries had tried to manage the problems. Path dependency was also a central conception when I studied the reforms of the two pension systems. I mainly used literature and Internet sources in my study. There were many books on the Swedish pension system and the debates that had been going on since the 80's.

Vi har valt att undersöka Ungdomstinget med fokus på inflytande och lärande. Syftet med detta arbete är att genom en fallstudie undersöka Ungdomstinget i Lund avseende delaktighet, medborgarfostran och bildning. Ungdomstinget är en arena för ungdomsdemokrati, en plats där engagemang och inflytande skapar bildning och lärande i en demokratifostran för Lunds ungdomar. Detta har vi undersökt genom kvalitativ metod med intervjuer och observationer som våra främsta undersökningsinstrument. Vi har intervjuat fem ungdomar ifrån Samordningsgruppen på Ungdomstinget samt en av grundarna till tinget och genomfört två observationer av Storting.Resultatet visar att ungdomarna vill vara med i Ungdomstinget för att de har en chans till inflytande och att de kan göra sina röster hörda.

Många organisationer idag har insett värdet av att styra genom värderingar. Trots seriösa försök är det ändå många som misslyckas. Vi har med denna uppsats haft som syfte att utifrån befintlig litteratur analysera innehållet i och villkoren för tänkbara processer, varigenom gemensamma värderingar kan skapas i en organisation. Vår studie har genomförts som en kvalitativ litteraturstudie. Hela uppsatsen är en analyserande process, vilket gör att ett kort svar på vårt syfte är omöjligt att ge.
