Children's Need In Focus (BBIC) is a processing and documentation system used in child welfare cases to investigate, plan and monitor interventions. The BBIC has had a breakthrough in Sweden and out of the country's 290 municipalities, there are 284 that use the system daily as a tool in cases involving children. The purpose of this study was to examine how social workers experience the BBIC as a working system and what strengths and weaknesses there are in the BBIC concept. We wanted our study to examine how the BBIC could possibly enhance the quality of childcare matters, but also how the BBIC could potentially increase children's participation in cases. We have performed qualitative interviews with eight social workers who work in four different municipalities where the BBIC is applied daily.

This paper deals with the connection between food and burial habits during the late Iron Age in present-day Sweden. The archaeological material used in the study consists of 16 potsherds from a burial site at Alsike hage, Alsike parish, in the province of Uppland in east-central Sweden. On these potsherds have been conducted FTIR- and GCMS-analyses, in order to see what types of food have been deposited in the burials. Furthermore, the result of the GCMS-analyses has been compared to contemporary material from both burial sites and settlement sites, in order to establish whether differences between the compared materials exist. The analyses show that there are differences between the material from burial sites compared with the material from settlement sites, but not any particular differences between the material from different burial sites.

 Under våren 2007 var jag på ett föredrag som hölls av Björn Persson, VD i företaget Vilax AB. Föredraget handlade om måttbeställda handsnörda spiralkärnor som företaget använder vid produktion av sängar och möbler till både offentliga och privata kunder. Mitt intresse fångades och jag började fundera på hur tapetserare kan dra nytta av denna teknik. Detta resulterade i att jag praktiserade två veckor hos Vilax AB under hösten 2008.Idag använder man denna typ av spiralkärnor tillsammans med moderna material som exempelvis skum, men nog skulle man väl kunna använda dem tillsammans med traditionella material. Detta skulle kunna underlätta resårarbete i en möbel och samtidigt effektivisera tapetserarens arbete.

Avfall från rivning, ombyggnad och renovering innehåller många miljö- och hälsostörande ämnen. En viss del av detta avfall regleras i Förordningen om farligt avfall. Exempel är avfall som innehåller kvicksilver, asbest, PCB eller CFC. För denna typ av avfall gäller speciella regler om hur det ska hanteras, vem som får hantera och transportera. Det avfall som inte räknas som farligt består inte alltid av ofarligt material som kan återanvändas eller återvinnas.

Syftet med examensarbetet var att undersöka manganhaltens inverkan på skärbarheten och de mekaniska egenskaperna i varmarbetsstål Dievar samt kontrollera och undersöka hypotesen att material med låga Ac1 temperaturer maskinbearbetas svårare än material med högre temperaturer. Skärbarhet hos Dievar med olika Mn-halt från 0,084 till 1,59 vikts% studerades i härdat tillstånd med ett pinnfräsningstest. Skärbarheten karakteriserades genom mätning av verktygslivslängd och skärkrafter. Verktygslivslängd bestämdes av fasförslitningsutvecklingen på verktyget. Förslitningsmekanismer studerades på verktygets spån- och släppningssidor med hjälp av svepelektronmikroskop (SEM). Dragprov vid rums- och förhöjd temperatur genomfördes för att studera mangans inverkan på hållfasthetsegenskaper hos Dievar.

This essay is about Skelleftea church town which is named Bonnstan and refers to the city for farmers. Originally, its mission was to function as temporary residence for long distance travelers of the villages, during weekends intended for religious gatherings. Bonnstan have furthermore periodically and in lesser extent been used as permanently abode for domestic workers. Nowadays the area consists of 114 cottages with nearly 400 chambers.The earliest known documentation of Skelleftea church town's existence is from the 17th century even though it may have its origin from the Middle Ages. These early church cottages burnt down in 1835 and were restored two years after the accident.

This master thesis is written in the purpose to discover which attitudes the public libraries in Sweden and Denmark have towards offering popular music to their patrons, how they motivates their choices and why they make the choices they make. The essay focuses on the differences and similarities between the Swedish and Danish libraries and relates their attitudes to the Finnish researcher Sanna Taljas three discourses regarding music policies in libraries.We examined this by sending out a question sheet to public libraries in Sweden and Denmark, the questions were regarding popular music's place in the library and how they build up their music collection. The question sheets were sent out to a total of 116 libraries of which 46 were Danish.The conclusions we drew after our examination were that Danish and Swedish public libraries have a lot in common in the way they regard and distribute popular music in the public libraries. Both of the respondent groups puts user demand high on the priority list as well as having a collection that holds significant works of many genres..

Our purpose was to investigate which readiness, different sectors in a minor city has to meet honour-related problems. We wanted to investigate how they manage honour-related problems and how the co-operation in these cases is between different authorities. Our questions at issue were: Which knowledge's, experiences there are about the culture of honour, which resources has the authorities and how is the co-operation between different organisations work?We have collected present documentation and research about the subject. We made eight quality interviews with different persons within professions, as we understood, came in contact with cultures of honour.

SELF CONTROL är ett undersökande examensarbete i textildesign. Med en textil hantverksmetod undersöker jag mötet mellan kontroll, tidsåtgång och material. Detta med utgångspunkt i en feministisk diskurs. Jag ser kontroll som något som exkluderar, censurerar och begränsar möjliga uttryck inom textilt hantverk på samma sätt som kvinnokroppen kontrolleras i ett patriarkat. Jag har använt mig utav en performativ och repetitiv metod som aktivt har gått ut på att bryta mot föreställningar om hur hantverket ska utföras.

SammanfattningDet här projektet behandlar området Additiv Tillverkning (AM) för metalliska material och undersöker om det är lämpligt att använda vid produktion inom flygindustrin. AM är en relativt ny tillverkningsmetod där föremål byggs upp lager för lager direkt ifrån en datormodell. Teknikområdet tillåter i många fall större konstruktionsfriheter som möjliggör tillverkning av mer viktoptimerade och funktionella artiklar. Andra fördelar är materialbesparing och kortare ledtider vilket har ett stort ekonomiskt värde.En omfattande litteraturstudie har gjorts för att utvärdera alla tekniker som finns på marknaden och karakterisera vad som skiljer de olika processerna. Även maskiners prestanda och kvalité på tillverkat material utvärderas, och för varje teknik listas möjligheter och begränsningar.

Som det ser ut idag kostar arbetskraften mer än materialet vid industriell tillverning av möbler. Materialet som inte passar normen sorteras bort. Det mer och mer låsta systemet som används idag klarar/vill inte bearbeta det material som inte är perfekt. Det är svårt att motivera tiden det tar i förhållande till kostnaden av sparat material. Vi är intresserade av ett annat förhållningsätt av resursanvändning, material, yta, normer, formgivning och förhållande till möbelproducenter.

Equestrianism is a big sport in Sweden with many practitioners. It is a dangerous sport and it is important for the rider to be aware of the risks, to study equine ethology and know how to handle the horse, to avoid accidents. Today most people have their first contact with a horse through a horseback riding school. Ölmstad rid- och körsällskap is a riding school that provides their pupils with a different kind of lessons. The lessons are 90 minutes long and contain both riding and horse-knowledge education.

This thesis deals with oval brooches from the Viking age. The aim of the study is twofold; the first goal is to identify and categorize the brooches according to an already existent scheme, created by two scholars on the subject. This has been accomplished in order establish a separate scheme for this particular material, which consists of two intact and 101 fragments of oval brooches, from Uppåkra in Sweden The other part of the analysis intends to ascertain to what degree it is possible to compare the material with other oval brooches found in Scandinavia, which theories exist about their disappearance and what the most plausible reason for this is..
