For nearly twenty years people have been talking about Product models, but given that the building industry is so conservative, it is hard to implement new working methods. Product models are these days known as Building Information Modeling, BIM. People often say they work with BIM but they often forget the most important part, the information. A 3D model should be linked with characteristics and information. Information that can be invaluable for the facility manager.We have a vision that in the best of worlds the facility manager would be able to "walk" into the model and see what kind of installations are inside the wall or in the roof.

Syftet med detta arbete är att studera elevers upplevda inflytande kopplat till rådsverksamheten på en skola där alla elever deltar i något råd. Vi har använt oss av en kvalitativ metod och genomfört semistrukturerade intervjuer med fyra elever på skolan. Resultatet från intervjuerna har vi analyserat och tolkat utifrån styrdokument, tidigare forskning och John Deweys teori om demokrati i skolan. Resultatet visar att respondenterna upplever att de har stort inflytande via rådsverksamheten men lyfter även att alla elever på skolan inte har inflytande. Eleverna ger en bild av att rådsverksamheten möjliggör för eleverna att ta stor plats och att det snarare är elevstyrt än lärarstyrt.

En artikelserie om livmoderhalscancer.I Sverige diagnostiseras 30 000 kvinnor varje år med cellförändringar i livmoderhalsen. Av dem utvecklar 450 cancer. Chris Eriksson överlevde livmoderhalscancer med ett ärr som minne. John Karlssons sambo Ylva var en av de som inte överlevde..

Lagen om energideklaration började gälla den 1 oktober 2006 och grundar sig på ett EG direktiv som syftar på att energieffektivisera våra byggnader. Byggnader i Sverige står för cirka 40 procent av landets totala energianvändning och det är därför viktigt att man försöker hitta energieffektiviseringar kring detta område.Målet med energieffektiviseringen är att skapa möjligheter för en hållbar samhällsutveckling, trygga vår energiförsörjning och samtidigt kunna minska EU:s beroende av importerad energi.Syftet med detta examensarbete är att hjälpa John Mattson Fastighets AB att uträtta en energideklaration för fastighetsbeståndet ute på Lidingö. Målet är att komma fram till energibesparingsåtgärder som är kostnadseffektiva och värna om kundkvalitén. När man sedan genomför åtgärderna kommer det att medföra att driftkostnaderna minskas och att hyresgästerna får en bättre boendemiljö samt bidrar till ett hållbart samhälle.Det visar sig att två kostnadseffektiva energibesparingsförslag skulle kunna minska energiförbrukningen i fastighetsbeståndet med ungefär 15 % som inte kräver några större ingrepp i byggnaderna. Investeringskostnaden är låg och Pay-Off-tiden relativt kort om man jämför med andra besparingsförslag.

This essay is a normative analysis concerning the question of whether the government should be allowed to use taxes to finance the state. What kind of ethical problems arise when the government use taxation? If it is possible to justify taxation, despite potential moral issues, then what should the government do with the funds they have collected? What kinds of government functions are morally justified? Is it merely the kinds of functions that are supposed to uphold negative human rights; or should the government provide health care, education and even culture for the citizens? This analysis aims to answer those questions and also formulate a principle about what the government should be occupied with, if anything at all. In order to achieve this I mainly use the terms freedom and justice to analyse ethical problems. The ideas of John Rawls and Robert Nozick are essential in this project.My answer is that taxation is justified as long as the purpose is to maintain the most fundamental human rights and also under other special circumstances such as if an individual cannot find a way to finance basic education or necessary health care.

Denna uppsatsens ämne är adaption. John W. Campbells science fiction/skräck kortroman Who Goes There? skall jämföras med två filmatiseringar som baserats på verket och som spelats in under olika generationer. Den första filmen är The Thing From Another World som regisserades av Christian Nyby 1951 och den andra filmen är The Thing som regisserades av John Carpenter 1982.Utöver en generell jämförelse som tar upp likheter och skillnader verken emellan så kommer teman som våld och genus också vara ett genomgående fokus i uppsatsen.

A major issue that has been a subject for quite some time is whether there will be a scarcity of metals in the bedrock in the future and whether or not we might end up with a problem similar to that of the big oil crisis in the mid-seventies. Following the oil crisis many oil companies started up with risk management to control future risks. This work presents how Swedish mining companies work with risk management to handle risks that might come up in the future due to metal scarceness. How Swedish mining companies look at the possible metal scarceness and if they use risk management in their decision-making process is studied. By doing interviews with Swedish owned mining companies it was found that the mining companies did not see the future metal scarcity as a risk, even though 2/3 of the companies acknowledged the scarceness to be a reality.

The aim of this essay is, firstly, to ? through a text analysis ? compare the curriculum of Waldorf education in Sweden (in the essay referred to as ?WL?) to the Swedish national curriculum ?Lpo 94?, to uncover possible differences and similarities between these documents, and, secondly, to present the roots and educational philosophies that these two curricula, respectively, are based upon. The purpose hereby is to be able to trace, describe and explain the differences between the pedagogical practices of Waldorf education and that of conventional Swedish schools.In the essay, a historical investigation of the main traditions of ideas behind the Swedish national curriculum is briefly carried out, where I swiftly present the educational philosophies of John Dewey (1859-1952) and Lev S. Vygotsky (1896-1934). Next, an investigation of the worldview and philosophy of Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925) is effectuated, where I attempt to bring to light Steiner?s anthroposophical and holistic worldview ? a worldview that throughout the 20th century has developed into an international and wide-ranging anthroposophical movement ? as well as his concepts of knowledge, science and educational philosophy.

The purpose of this essay is to analyse and understand how branding can take place in a football organisation. Football clubs have for a long time been seen as non-profit organisations but since money have become a main factor also in football these days the organisations are more or less turning in to commercial businesses. Football organisations have for many years neglected the assets of actively contributing values to their brand. Despite that branding doesn't seem to be seen as important in football organisations as it is for real companies who spend a fortune of money on building strong brands, which makes us curious to find out how this approach can be developed also in football. We are also interested in what the characteristics are and which underlying factors that determines the choice of a football brand.

 AbstractA walk at Karlstad's cemetery and burial - grounds is like a strolling in an architectural park with trees, bushes and flowers. But these parks are different; they are filled with dead people, their memorial stones and their life stories. This world is full of socially, economically and culture differences from different times from 19th century till today's society. The cemetery - and burial - grounds in Karlstad can tell you about 19th century influences just by looking at the stones and where they are placed. Influences from the religion, the Christianity, which symbols for example is the cross, the birds and the sun that rises or falls, but also phrases that is directing to the bible.

The purpose of this degree project was to examine which remedies are available to individuals when the State has violated their right to a fair trial as stated in article 6 in the European Convention on Human Rights. Furthermore, the aim was to, in cases where the remedy is determined to money, to clarify the indemnity rates that apply in determining the non-pecuniary damages. The starting point was a review of the European Court practice, domestic Swedish practice and relevant literature.The outcome of the review is that the remedies available to the individual?s disposal can be divided into two categories: primary and secondary remedies. Primary remedies mean compensation not consisting of money, and must be exhausted first.

Uppsatsens övergripande syfte är att utröna huruvida ett specifikt samtida populärkulturellt verk ? den amerikanska filmen John Q (2002) ? i representationen av sina karaktärer befäster en kolonialistisk diskurs eller om dessa gestaltas på ett sätt som skiljer sig från denna diskurs representationsmönster. Med kolonialistisk diskurs avser jag här en diskurs som fundamentalt gror ur de idémönster som var verksamma under den egentliga kolonialismen. Utifrån ett poststrukturalistiskt perspektiv med teoretiska analysinstrument från diskursteori och postkolonialism analyseras kvalitativt filmens karaktärer som indelas i fyra subjektspositioner; icke-vit man/kvinna och vit man/kvinna. Dessas identiteter undersöks i analysen utifrån fem huvudsakliga aspekter; 1/ funktion/roll i narrativet, 2/ personlighet och icke-fysiska egenskaper, 3/ agerande och förehavanden, 4/ utseende och slutligen 5/ eventuellt tydligt intertextuellt förhållande till den skådespelare som representerar honom/henne.Analysen visar att filmen John Q i upprättandet av en gynnad dikotomi mellan människa och system konstruerar karaktärernas identiteter på ett sätt som nästintill fullständigt följer den kolonialistiska diskursens representationsmönster.

Gunnebo House and Gardens was designed during the late 18th century by architect Carl Wilhelm Carlberg as a summer residence for the wealthy merchant John Hall Sr. and his family. The garden consists of formal garden, kitchen garden and English park. For the first two parts several original drawings have been preserved and here a lot of restoration work has been carried out. This paper aims to examine how the English park might have been implemented during John Hall Sr.?s time and to create a plant scheme for the area called ?Engelska kullen? (The English hill).

Previous research shows that Swedish teenagers? reading of fiction have decreased during the last decade (Skolverket 2006). As future librarians we found ourselves asking why, and an interest to look into this was triggered. The purpose of this Bachelor thesis is therefore to examine why teenagers? reading of fiction is decreasing. Focus lies on students? perception of their own reading, both inside and outside the school environment.
