Namibia, southern Africa, suffers from an energy shortage and is therefore facing severalchallenging problems. The use of firewood as fuel for cooking is common in the whole countryand has negative consequences for health and the environment. This work have focused ondeveloping a solar baking oven, calledSunbaker, adapted for Namibian families needs forbaking. The development was based on classic solar cooking limitations, specific needs forNamibia and to have a feasible manufacturability.The project started with a theoretical study in Sweden where different solar cookers, informationregarding Namibia, technical aspects and end user aspects were studied. To assess the need for asolar baking oven aMinor Field Study took place in Namibia during eight weeks in July toSeptember 2009 and resulted in a product design specification.

Bakgrund: Operationssjukv?rd beskrivs som en h?gteknologisk h?griskverksamhet. I operationssalen arbetar ett tv?rprofessionellt team. Kommunikationen mellan dessa professioner har en avg?rande betydelse f?r b?de samarbetet mellan professionerna och f?r patients?kerheten.

I den ha?r vetenskapliga essa?n underso?ks starten av en skrivworkshop, i tva? ungdomsgrupper, som en ga?stande skrivpedagog och fo?rfattare leder pa? deras skola. Den inledande bera?ttelsen belyser fo?rfattarens skrivarbete och spra?kha?llningar. I tva? fo?ljande bera?ttelser, fra?n tva? workshopsituationer i tva? klasser, gestaltas hur olika ha?llningar till det skrivna och talade spra?ket konfronterar varandra.

AbstractThe assignment were assigned by Camatec Industriteknik AB. Camatec is a Karlstadlocated consulting company, they make everything from pilot studies to complete projects in mechanical design and calculation. They even have their own patented product, Camcoil. It is a winder for steel strips and is used for example with hardening of the steel strip. The assignment has been to solve the problems encountered by some customers within this product.

Bakgrund: Diabetes typ 2 ?r en kronisk och progressiv sjukdom d?r en god glykemisk kontroll ?ravg?rande f?r att f?rebygga komplikationer. Sjukdomen st?ller stora krav p? individensegenv?rdskapacitet, d? dagliga beslut kring kost, fysisk aktivitet och l?kemedelsbehandling direktp?verkar glukosniv?erna. F?rm?gan att uppn? och bibeh?lla god glykemisk kontroll ?r n?ra relateradtill h?lsolitteracitet och individens m?jlighet att f?rst?, v?rdera och oms?tta information i praktiskhandling.

Syftet med denna studie ?r att kvalitativt unders?ka hur elever med behov av extra anpassningar och s?rskilt st?d beskrivs fr?n 1962 fram till idag i Sveriges l?roplaner. Studien ?mnar ?ven att unders?ka hur de delar som behandlar fritidshemmet beskriver elever i behov av st?d. Materialet analyserades genom en Foucauldiansk inspirerad diskursanalys d?r diskursbrott och utest?ngningsprocedurer anv?nds f?r att studera analysmaterialet.

Syftet med den h?r studien ?r att unders?ka hur h?gstadieelever anv?nder sina mo-biltelefoner i vardagen och hur de sj?lva upplever att mobilanv?ndningen p?verkar deras s?mn och skolprestation. Studien genomf?rs mot bakgrund av att mobiltele-fonen blivit en central del av elevers sociala och akademiska liv, samtidigt som dess roll i skolmilj?n ?r omdebatterad. De teoretiska ramarna utg?r fr?n det socio-kulturella perspektivet p? l?rande (Vygotskij, 1978) samt medium theory (Mey-rowitz, 1985), om hur socialisering och gruppidentitet utvecklas.

Bakgrund Pensionerade m?n utg?r idag en stor del av den svenska befolkningen, och de flesta bed?mer sin h?lsa som god. Tidigare studier visar dock att pensionen kan inneb?ra risker f?r att f?rlora sociala sammanhang och meningsfulla aktiviteter, vilket p?verkar m?lgruppens h?lsa negativt. Wilcocks teori om doing, being, belonging, och becoming kan anv?ndas f?r att f? en djupare f?rst?else f?r m?lgruppens h?lsa.

In many developing countries, among them Vietnam, contamination of agricultural land is a major issue that has public health implications. A fast growing population, rapid urbanization and industrialization have led to air and water emissions of potentially toxic elements (PTEs), such as cadmium (Cd). Earlier studies have shown that individuals with low iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) status absorb larger quantities of Cd than those of adequate nutritional status. The purpose of this study was to investigate and compare the Fe and Zn intake from the foods consumed by women (15-45 years) in selected households in two agricultural villag-es in the Red River delta in Vietnam. In one of the villages the residents were involved in metal (mainly Fe) recycling activity, whereas in the other village the residents had agricul-tural production as main source of income. Interviews, followed by food intake calcula-tions, were performed.

This study concerns a selection of prehistoric metal objects of animalistic design, published at the internet site of the Swedish Statens Historiska Museum. It seeks to give an impression of the design elements used, and to find likely models for the motifs among live animals. The method used is a qualitative hermenuetic comparative study of objects, where the distinct significant design elements are being identified and interpretated. Several significant design elements are identified, and some are interpretated as representing certain animals. The amalgamation of differentiating design elements in some objects however, leads to interpretations of compound animal motifs, where some motifs are considered ambiguous and some are rendered uninterpretated.

Background: The request for the Reggio Emilia practice has expanded enormously the last couple of years within the Swedish preschools. This particular practice describes the environment as a third educator. This third educator is supposed to work as - not only a tool - but also a support to ease children's learning experiences and help develop their mind. Previous research has shown that design of, for instance, furniture has a way of affecting the children's learning process and development.Aims: The purpose of this study is to see how two different teams of preschool educators on two differed Reggio Emilia inspired preschools work and handle the physical indoor environment. Method: We started out by contacting Reggio Emilia inspired preschools.

Bakgrund: M?nskliga faktorer utg?r i m?nga fall grunden f?r misstag som sker inom h?griskorganisationer. Operationsavdelningen ?r en h?griskmilj? och d?r arbetar det interprofessionella operationsteamet. Operationssjuksk?terskan ?r en av professionerna i teamet och genom att anv?nda olika kommunikationsstrategier samt bidraga till en psykologisk trygghet inom teamet kan kvaliteten p? kommunikationen inom operationsteamet ?ka.

High-precision cutting in metal is very complicated, a lot of parameters affect the result: what geometries to be manufactured, surface roughness and tolerances to be achieved, batch size etcetera. When pull-broaching internal parts this might be even more important, than in any other cutting operation. Everything is machined in one single stroke and the general technology is built in to the tool, therefore big investments must be made to change the process. Milling for an example: one piece at a time is machined away, and a lot of parameters can be changed easily.It is very high pressure on the cutting-edge when the broach is cutting. To achieve the specified product and to avoid unnecessary toolwear it is essential to use the right cuttingfluid and the right cuttingspeed for an example.
