The purpose of my project was to explore variability. I wanted to combine different ways of sitting and create some kind of seating furniture that could be changed to fit different kinds of situations and needs. I sought after a way to express safety and stability in the seating furniture and at the same time make it clear that it could be changed into something else or something more. It was very important to me that the furniture piece would have a long lifetime and would be something you kept for a long period of time. I decided that the changeable factor in my piece would be the possibility to change it from being a chair for one person into being a bench for two people.

The aim of this thesis is to practice the theoretical methods that are concerned during the product development process of two new products. The theoretical concepts that embody the two products are created out of a product specification which is given by a commissioner with a private interest. The primary tasks of the design of the concepts are aimed on the products shape, which is to be created as a flexible structure by using silicon rubber as material.The storage box is a further development of the already known food storage box, or lunch box, which is common used in consumer kitchens. The main idea is to design a flexible product by using silicone rubber. It will able the storage box to be compressed when it is not used, be storage friendly and not consume more space than necessary in a storage compartment.

Bakgrund och problem: Att hållbarhetsrapporternas trovärdighet påverkar intressenternasförtroende är särskilt aktuellt för företag i finansbranschen. För att hjälpa företag att uppnå störretrovärdighet i hållbarhetsredovisningar lägger GRI:s fjärde generation av riktlinjerna en stor viktpå väsentlighet i rapporternas innehåll. Det som antas möjliggöra vassare hållbarhetsrapporterenligt GRI:s G4-version är en stegvis beskrivning av hur väsentlighetsanalys ska göras. GRI:s nyaoch föregående versioner skiljer sig dock inte åt när det gäller vilka faser väsentlighetsanalysenska bestå av. Trots det finns det några svenska finansföretag som redan har försökt uppfylla G4:sstörre krav på väsentlighet eller visar en förståelse för vad övergången från redovisningen enligtGRI:s tredje generation till G4 innebär för finansföretagens hållbarhetsredovisningar.Syfte: Studien syftar till att skapa förståelse för hur GRI:s fjärde generation av riktlinjernapåverkar hållbarhetsredovisningar hos svenska finansföretag.Metod: Den kvalitativa studien genomförs med hjälp av semistrukturerade intervjuer medpersoner som på något sätt är relaterade till hållbarhetsredovisning inom sju olika svenskafinansföretag.

This paper attempts to survey the debate in the Swedish parliament on state surveillance on the Internet, from 1994 to March, 2007. With a discourse analysis inspired by Foucault, we follow how the idea of state surveillance is viewed by politicians during the period. By focusing on the Internet, we expect to find how politicians in the parliament regard the idea of an unregulated forum for citizen communication and interaction, and how the need for state surveillance on the new arena that is Internet, is expressed and argued for. Theoretical framework is given by Foucault?s theory of the Panoptic state, as well as his thoughts on discourse, power and governmentality.

I have in my thesis produced a start of a multiplayer, voxel, strategy sandbox game withadvanced AI.

Agile as an idea was created in 2001 through the Agile Manifesto with focus on social relationships, communication and flexibility. This was a reaction to the traditional, hierarchical organization with the goal of restoring balance within organizations in the IT business. Today we can see a transit of Agile from the IT-industry to other industries and areas, such as HRM.There is a challenge in attempting to traditionally control a social idea such as Agile, and there is a lack of empirical studies of the organizational context and its effect on the interpretation of Agile in practice. This study is an attempt to connect Agile to the science of business administration.The purpose with this study is therefore to research the organizational contexts effects on the interpretation of Agile in practice, within IT and HRM. Where Agile is established or well known.To fulfill our purpose we chose social constructivism as our scientifically approach, and conducted 12 in-depth interviews.

?Crumbs make crust? is a collection of memories, told in words and pictures. It is a praise of the ordinary person and the essentials of everyday life.I have several years of experience from working with elderly people in social home care service.

This report deals with the modeling of a part of the communication system based on the IEEE 802.11a standard which represents the next generation of wireless LAN with greater scalability, better interference immunity and significantly higher speed, up to 54 Mbps. 802.11a uses Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) where modulation is performed by an IFFT and the demodulation by an FFT. After modeling the FFT in Matlab and C, the FFT implementation has been validated using a soft microprocessor core by Xilinx (Microblaze) and the results were compared..
