Promenadstaden : dess betydelse för Stockholms möjlighet till en ekologiskt hållbar utveckling
It is a well known archaeological concern that the remains of human bones left from the bronze age and early iron age Scandinavia are not nearly enough to represent the estimated population of the time. Furthermore the bones of each find rarely represent a whole individual. The majority of the bones must have been disposed of somewhere else, possibly scattered in running waters or in the fields, where they have evaporated or are securely hidden from archaeological excavations.This thesis deals with the grave concept and the problem in using a word that is so very clouded by its modern, western meaning. It also offers an alternative explanation to why the bones are handled the way they are and why they are found in such awkward contexts..

Vår kandidatuppsats handlar om användning och utveckling av Kustpilens
biljettautomat. Vi har, genom etnografiska metoder, studerat hur människor
använder sig av biljettautomaten vid köp av en tågbiljett. För att generera
designidéer och utveckla vårt designförslag har vi utgått från dessa studier.
Vi har sett hur viktigt det är för användarna att få feedback på utförda
handlingar. Biljettautomatens design är viktig för att uppmana kunderna till
rätt användning.
Livets skillnader : Heidegger, djuret och vetenskapen
This essay constitutes an attempt to expose, with reference to contemporary animal research, the limits of Martin Heidegger?s concept of the being of animality in Die Grundbegriffe der Metaphysik (1929/30) and to propose some possible ways to think, within the philosophical style of this particular work, the being of those animals that most distinctly transcends Heidegger?s concept. The essay seeks to address the following question: Do the results of contemporary animal research expose ways of being within animality that withdrawal from Heidegger?s concept of the being of animality in general, and if so, how should we think these new ways of animal being? The motivation to ask this question, I argue, are immanent to Heidegger?s thinking in at least three ways: 1) Because of his standpoint that philosophy cannot, in any meaningful way, create an ontological concept of animality without an orientation towards the results of the positive sciences; 2) Because of the unfinished and tentative character of Heidegger?s analysis, a character that is such that it should be seen, according to Heidegger himself, as an essential point of departure for further thinking; 3) Because of Heidegger?s view that the being of the animal are such that it involves the withdrawal of this very being from any originary access, a withdrawal that necessitates an infinite return to the question concerning the being of the animal. The essay wants to be a continuation of lines that are present in Heidegger?s open-ended thought on this theme rather than to be an external critique that approach the text, which is most often the case, as a closed point of view which we are forced to affirm or reject.

projekten behandlas en utvecklingsprocess för IT-system som är baserad på
kreativitet och lärande miljöer. Särskilt lyfter uupsatsen fram behovet av att
förändra processen för att möta slutanvändare av program och tjänster..
Hegel och Guds död
In this study, I will discuss Hegel?s words on the death of God as they are stated in his Phenomenology of Spirit and Faith and Knowledge. I will present a reading of what I consider to be the two different usages of these words, and relate their meanings to each other. Focus lies on what Hegel refers to as the ?unhappy consciousness? and its experience of a disenchantment of the world, and on Christianity as the answer to this position.
Barns tankar om den egna kroppen! : Vad vet fyraåringar och sexåringar om sin kropp!
Mitt syfte med detta arbete var att ta reda på vad barn har för uppfattning om människokroppen när de är fyra och sex år gamla. Sex barn har blivit intervjuade genom kvalitativa intervjuer. Barnens uppfattning om kroppen är olika beroende på deras ålder. Sexåringen har större kunskap om kroppen än vad fyra åringar har. Barnens spontana uppfattning om vad som finns i vår kropp var att vi har; hjärta, hjärna, blod, hjärnceller, muskler och skelett..
K?NSLOR OCH BYGGNADER. Hur f?r?ndringar i den byggda milj?n p?verkar v?r k?nsla f?r plats.
This bachelor thesis aims to explore the public?s personal connection and attachment to place, as well as their
perception of changes in the built environment that has occurred in close proximity to the area. Based upon a
questionnaire carried out in a public square in Gothenburg, namely J?rntorget, the study examines the impact
of the construction of two high-rise buildings that was initiated roughly five years ago adjacent to the square.
The essays theoretical framework is based on the concept sense of place, a concept which derives from the
discipline of Geography. Sense of place encompasses the relationship between people and spatial settings,
which includes e.g.
Viskleken : Ett gestaltande arbete från text till upplevelse
In my project, Cups on the run, I have studied the relationship between ceramic utility objects and different environments, when moving them off the table. My background as a potter has been the starting point. From there, I wanted to see if I could expand my craft to the space beyond. With the cup, which for most people has a clear function and a relation to us human, in repetitive structure I explored the spatiality and architecture in various environments. Life fascinates me through how everything is made up of tiny parts that together create the tangible and intangible.
Hundens kommunikationssignaler
This literature study summarizes the signals dogs use in intraspecific communication. The purpose is to clarify the way dogs communicate so that situations where their intentions are misjudged can be avoided. The signals are divided into olfactory, visual, auditory and tactile and every section starts with a short anatomic and physiologic description of the sense organ that is used to register the current signal type. The interspecific communication between dog and human regarding its development and function is brought up. To end with suggestions are given of how veterinary technicians in clinics can make use of knowledge about the way dogs communicate.
Vart tog jobben vägen? Jobless growth i Sverige 2002-2005
En av de frågor som diskuteras allra mest i politiken är hur man bäst gör för att öka sysselsättningen och minska arbetslösheten. Den nuvarande regeringen har som mål att Sverige ska ha lägst arbetslöshet i EU 2020, genom en ?modern och aktiv näringspolitik? (Regeringskansliet, 2014). Att detta hänger samman med ekonomisk tillväxt ifrågasätts sällan i den politiska debatten, vilket empirin talar för att det inte heller behöver göras i de flesta fall. Men under vissa perioder har det visat sig att det inte alls är självklart att dessa hänger ihop, då normal eller hög tillväxt inte har inneburit högre sysselsättning eller lägre arbetslöshet.1993 släppte UNDP sin årliga Human Development Report där de beskrev att läget i världsekonomin kunde beskrivas med vad de kallar för ?a new phenomenon ? jobless growth? (UNDP, 1993:36).
Ekologiska fotavtryck för koldioxidutsläpp för Stockholms län, Norrbottens län och Stockholms läns landsting : En kritisk metodgranskning baserad på kvantitativa data
Human existence and welfare depend on functional ecosystems. Ecosystems are critical to sustain life-support services for human well-being. One method that visualizes that humanity requires ecosystem services for resource consumption and assimilation of produced waste is ecological footprints. This study focuses on the ecosystem service carbon sequestering. A quantification of this ecosystem service showed the potential for accumulation of carbon in different ecosystems in Stockholm and Norrbotten County for the years of 1995 and 2004.
