This report contains results of our study at CTC in Ljungby. CTC produces heating products such as boilers, heat pumps and additional products to their heating systems.The purpose of the report is to make a proposal how CTC will supply their new production line for heat pumps with materials. The proposal includes a production layout and a scheme for how to place the material in the production storage.The new production line will produce two different products and both of them have several variants. The line will also have a mixed flow, so the products can be produced in a random order. These conditions demand that the production line has great flexibility and that the material to all the variants can be stored in the production storage.With these conditions as input we made a layout proposal to the company.

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka användningen av konstverk inom svenskämnet. Syftet är även att ta reda på hur man kan använda konstverk i svenskundervisningen samt om man kan använda konst som redskap för att utveckla språket. Nio lärare som undervisar i grundskolan respektive gymnasieskolan har besvarat en enkät som behandlar ämnet konstverk i svenskundervisningen. Lärarna undervisar i svenska och/eller svenska som andraspråk samt andra ämnen. I uppsatsen redovisas även en läromedelsanalys.

Syftet med denna studie är att synliggöra vilka uppfattningar elever i skolår 9 har av bedömning i matematikämnet.En förändring har skett i synen på bedömning. Eleverna ska bli bedömda formativt under processens gång och inte bara summativt med fokus på produkten. Summativa prov är vanligast vid bedömning i matematik och därför var det intressant att undersöka hur eleverna ser på bedömning i ämnet. Undersökningen genomfördes i två skolor, där sju elever intervjuades och 99 elever deltog i en enkätundersökning. Huvudundersökningen var intervjuerna med fokus på deras uppfattningar och studien har därför genomförts med en fenomenografiskt inspirerad ansats.

The purpose of this examination is to identify how notions of Swedishness is created artistically, and from where these notions come. My method is to make a study on exhibition catalogues on the theme Swedishness/Nordism, with focus on the contemporary Swedish artist Peter Johansson. With a retrospect of his childhood in Dalecarlia, he investigates a Swedish iconography with it?s roots in national romanticism, which for more than one hundred years has been preserved and exploited of the tourist industry to market Sweden. It?s this monotonous iconography that Johansson deconstructs to make it appear like something else ? namely an iconography based on ethnic purity, which pushes away the foreign and protects the own.

This thesis is divided in to two different parts. The first part includes examination of the measurementsystem of an industrial robot using a resolver sensor. The main focus is on methods for suppressing noise in the angularvelocity signal without increasing timedelay. Five different methods are investigated. Three of these are based on oversampling: burstsamplingmethod, meanvaluemethod and correlationmethod.

The purpose of my examination is contributing with knowledge about the relation between language- stimulation in preschool and read- and writes developing and teachers thought about that. In order to meet the purpose I read literature that deals with my matter and is based previous research. I also made qualitative interviews with three elementary school teachers and three preschool teachers who work within preschools that concentrate on development of language in a town in the middle of Sweden.  In this way I find out about their thoughts about what they think is important to work with about language in preschool and how the preschool teachers can work with the development of language to make it easier for the children in their read- and writes developing. The result shows that it is important to work with children?s development of language in preschool.

The purpose of this essay is to examine how a newly built library and an old library from the sixties work out of an experience and feeling oriented view. Are the fundamental conditions of an old library compatible with the library standards of today? To be able to carry out this examination we have chosen two rather small Swedish libraries. One is the public library of Hässleholm, which opened in the year 2000, and the other is the public library of Kristianstad opened in 1965. The material used to attain the purpose of the study consists of literature studies and qualitative observations and interviews.

Syftet med detta examensarbete har varit att utifrån ett lärarperspektiv, belysa möjligheter och problem i läsförståelseundervisningen och att bidra till en fördjupad kunskap om elever i behov av särskilt stöd i sin läsutveckling. Det empiriska materialet består av en enkät som har vesvarats av 64 lärare som undervisar i svenska i år 1-6. Studien är kvalitativ och inspirerad av enomenografin.Resultaten visar att lärarna i studien har erfarenhet av flera olika typer av lässvårigheter. Läsförståelsesvårigheter upptäcks på flera olika sätt: läsförståelse, avkodning, muntlig fömåga, svårigheter med andra uppgifter, arbetsminne, ordförråd, strategier för att inte läsa samt känslomässiga reaktioner. Flera av informanterna har mött elever i år 3-4 som kan avkoda bra men ändå inte förstår innehåller i en text.

In this essay I have examined how teenager and leaders handle conflicts on a recreation centre in Nacka, outside of Stockholm in Sweden.I have made qualitative interviews with two leaders and ten teeangers. Also I have read researchlitterature about conflicts and how to handle them. Then I have made observations watching how leaders and teeangers communicate and behave.The purpose of the examination is to describe differences with constructive and destructive handle with conflicts. I have also shown how conflicts can give possibilites for the involved people to get to understand themselves, the other parts and the whole complex social behavior better.But that demands that the involved people choose a constructive solution where both parts cooperate, understand eachother and can see how themselves have contributed in developing the conflict.I have worked as an employee at the recreation centre two evenings a week in sex months. During that time I have observed conflicts and different strategies among teeangers and leaders.My conclusions are that conflicts give opportunities for people to grow as human-beeings and get a mentally richer life.

En fungerade erfarenhetsåterföring leder till effektivare och lönsammare processer. Det är isynnerhet viktigt för Skanska och Ikeas industrialiserade bostadskoncept BoKlok, där sammatyp av arbeten ständigt upprepar sig. Skanska har ett verktyg för erfarenhetsåterföring somde kallar Normallägen och beskriver olika arbetsmoment i text och video. Arbetet pågårmed att utvidga innehållet för Normallägen och i dagsläget finns inga för markarbeten inomBoKlok.Syftet är att undersöka hur erfarenhetsåterföringen fungerar idag och vad som fungerarmindre bra i projekten. Finns det erfarenheter som kan användas som underlag till framtidaNormallägen.Arbetet bygger på intervjuer, litteraturstudier och information från Skanska och BoKloksintranät.Resultaten visar att den erfarenhetsåterföring som sker idag oftast är muntlig mellanarbetsledningen på olika projekt och där kunskapen är personrelaterad.
