Det här arbetet har utförts hos Atlas Copco AB i Örebro. Arbetet innebar att komma med nya idéer till hur så kallade segment kan utformas. Segment är en kropp av gummi som har urtag där borrstänger kan lagras. Resultatet av arbetet blev att ett alternativt material i armerad PTFE kunde presenteras. Projektet startade med att upprätta en kravspecifikation för ett alternativt material för att därefter göra ett materialval utifrån kravspecifikationen.

SUMMARYInventory of raw materials holds an important role in companies within the manufacturingsector. The inventory works as a buffer that secure the supply of materials to the productionunit. The aim of the inventory is to ensure that the company is able to meet the customers?demands despite fluctuations and variations in the material flow. The size of the warehouseand the layout are physical limitations for the quantity of articles that can be stored.

Detta examensarbete behandlar fenomenet att använda djurkroppar som material. Studiens syfte är att undersöka fenomenet döda djur och djurkroppar i konst, hantverk och design, och lyfta fram på vilket sätt döda djur används och hur användandet kan tolkas och förstås. Teorin belyser relationen djur och människa ur historiskt perspektiv, hur djur framställts inom konsten, samt den etiska aspekten. Metod och material består i en analys utifrån texter och medier, och en kvalitativ intervju med Märta Mattsson, som skapar smycken av främst insekter. Studien visar på att djur har varit symbol för många olika saker som mod, tapperhet, häxkonst och erotik.

I denna rapport redogörs arbetsprocessen för utvecklandet av vår produkt. Produkten är ett material vars syfte är att underlätta för pedagoger att komma igång med pedagogisk dokumentation som arbetssätt för uppföljning, utvärdering och utveckling i förskolan. Att det finns ett behov för vårt material kan vi se i vår enkätundersökning som ger oss svar på både vilket behov av produkten som finns och vilken typ av innehåll i ett sådant material som skulle vara till hjälp för pedagogerna. Vidare visar Skolinspektionens tillsyn av förskolor att pedagoger har svårigheter i arbetet med uppföljning, utvärdering och utveckling vilket tyder på att ett behov av ett material som underlättar arbetet med uppföljning, utvärdering och utveckling finns hos pedagogerna (Skolinspektionen, 2014). För att produkten ska rikta sig till en bredare målgrupp har vi medvetet valt att kombinera en utvecklingspedagogisk syn på dokumentation med en Reggio Emilia-inspirerad syn i både rapporten och produkten.

Bakgrund:Friedrich Fröbel grundade tyska Kindergarten som motsvarar den svenska förskolan. För att främja barns utveckling menade han att de vuxna skulle ansvara för utformningen av miljön och tillgodose deras behov. Materialet är en förutsättning för att barnen ska utvecklas, det skall vara utmanande och väcka intresse. Materialet blir pedagogiskt i samspel med människan och hur man använder materialet har betydelse för om lärande skall kunna ske.Syfte:Syftet är att undersöka hur sex förskollärare i två olika förskolor menar att de skapar en pedagogisk miljö som främjar barns lärande.Metod:Vid vår datainsamling har vi använt oss av kvalitativ intervju med öppna frågor för att få utvecklade och relevanta svar. Vi har intervjuat pedagoger, för att ta reda på hur de uppfattar den fysiska miljön i förskolan och hur viktig den är för barns lärande.

The purpose of this study was to obtain an understanding of how the employees at LFV Group Swedish Airports and Air Navigation Services (Luftfartsverket) manage to combine work and family, and put this in relation to the concepts of employer of choice and socially sustainable development. Qualitative interviews were carried out with 23 randomly selected participants at the three largest places of work within the organisation. The results showed that the combination of work and family mostly could be managed but that factors like high workload and feelings of stress affected the participants in a negative way. The main measures facilitating the combination of work and family were shorter working hours and support with domestic chores. LFV can partly be considered an employer of choice when it comes to family friendly benefits but changes could be made for further improvement.

 My field is Korpus and in this project I am investigating what role that plays for me as an artist connected to craft. To really get close to, and understand Korpus I have deconstructed it to find clues to why the silversmithing field looks like it does and how we got here. I believe Korpus has not yet come out of the closet for what it really can be. That it carries a great heritage of traditions and preconceptions that it would do well to shake off a little bit of. Can Korpus as an art field really survive in Sweden, where the Church has no power and silverware is no longer a need to demonstrate ones economic prosperity at an important dinner party? To help myself get closer to these objects I have given my own definition of Korpus.

AbstractManagement is a field that started getting attention in the beginning of the 20th century by Frederick Taylor. His publication is called the Principles of Scientific Management and is based on the principles of using scientific methods to find the best way of conducting each operation within a production facility. Many of Taylor?s principles may appear obsolete today but the matter of an effective material flow is still highly current. Efficiency is the relationship between the input into an operation and its result.

The role of the quality manager has evolved from being a quality controller to work with a more global business. Within many organizations in Sweden, however, the traditional role of the quality manager's remains and the tasks categorized as quality control still takes up most of the quality manager's time. The survey conducted as part of this master thesis shows that the quality manager in most businesses has multiple roles in addition to the role of quality manager, which can create a role conflict. One consequence of this is that each improvement is not given priority due to time constraints. Although the importance of a clear and committed leadership is the key for succeeding as the quality manager.

The European Union is struggling to maintain democracy and tries to increase the participation among the citizens in Europe. The European Citizens?

In 1936 a governmental breeding project was started with aim on military use. The police later came to use dogs from this project as well. In order to utilize dogs that could fit for other purposes training and education of dogs for search of different substances and of guide dogs for blind persons was performed. A political decision to privatize the whole dog programme was taken in 1992. During most part of the time one had serious economical issues since too few of the dogs that were bred could be considered to fulfil the basic demands for service. To satisfy the need of service dogs private bred dogs were bought as well.

The purpose of this study was to examine how a selection of social welfare officers based on the principle of the best interest of the child construct a minimum level of the material standard in a home. Another purpose was to examine whether different units with varying socioeconomic prerequisites in the municipality of Stockholm construct this level differently.The method used in this study was Sociology of Law and two focus groups were used for the gathering of the data. A social constructive theory, a class perspective using concepts of Bourdieu and a perspective of law were used to analyse the material of data.The results showed that the courses of action varied from enactment and the policies of the municipality of Stockholm, unspecified theories of the development of children, the conception of what is normal and what children needs, the context in which they work, the development of the society and what they estimate that children needs when attending school. The results also showed a difference between the two units concerning the minimum level of the material standard in a home.
