Syftet med arbetet har varit att genom undersökning av denna klassicistiskt inspirerade tidsperiod välja ut lämpliga växter för att ta fram förslag för hur man skulle kunna skapa en miljö med historisk karaktär kring Gula magasinet i Nävekvarn. I denna process har jag studerat litteratur om sådana växter och annat material som skulle kunna användas för att sätta en stilriktig karaktär på miljön. Jag har även gjort en undersökning kring bruksorten Nävekvarn och om Gula magasinet och kortfattat sammanställt detta. I min undersökning har jag besökt Nävekvarn och Sörmlands Museum för att hitta den lokala information som finns om platsen. Jag har även tagit bilder på platsen och samtalat med boende och verksamma i Nävekvarn för att få veta vad de har för syn på magasinet, hur det har och kommer att användas i framtiden.

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how structural changes are depicted as well as formally brought about in the documents of rule and regulation of Uppsala University and Uppsala University Library the years 1999?2013. Beside the documents of rule and regulation, also documents that is commenting on (or in other ways relates to) these are investigated. The study is based both in organizational theory and modern rhetorical theory. The results show that the University to a certain extent gained an increased possibility to micromanage the library?s working routines during the time span covered and the study traces the consequences this had on the library organization and reactions it evoked among the leaders and representatives of the library staffThis raised a debate between representatives from the University library and its mother organization, the University, regarding at which level in the whole organization decisions regarding the library?s forms of funding and everyday praxis.

Tre projekt; två bostadsprojekt i Stockholm ( Marievik och Årsta) och ett ubåtsMuseum i Karlskrona. Bostadsprojekten visar två olika förhållningssätt till Stockholms förortbebyggelse. Marievik projektet lokaliserat i ett företagsområde i Liljeholmen med närheten till Hornstulls kvartersstad, har som utgångspunkt stenstaden. Räta gator och kvarter får utgöra sinnebilden av stenstadens funktioner. Därav också stadens krav på att den första våningen skall utföras som en sockelvåning ? även om sten och tegel sedan länge lämnat byggnadskonstuktionen för dessa typer av bostadshus.Årsta projektet ligger i utkanten av ABC-staden med fem höga punkt/skivhus som granne i norr och trevånings lameller i söder.

The intention of this final thesis is to look into the improvement of small and run down railway stations. Many railway stations are today derelict and decaying. The purpose of this essay is to propose alternative strategies of action by discussing the ecology, the history and the social function of the railway station. There is also an overview of projects already completed. In the analysis part of the thesis, the genius loci or the spirit of place is put forward as means of reaching a solution.

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the political ambitions regarding culture inVärmland, and the situation for artists living on the countryside in Värmland. This meansthat the conditions surronding the artists situation will be looked upon. I have chosen thepolitical document Kulturplanen, created by Region Värmland, as my guideline to whatkind of political view there is on art and cultures role in the region. Furthermore, I havechosen Pierre Bourdieu`s theory about art as a field controlled by and under the influenceof different rules within the filed itself and what or whom has the power to act and be apart of the filed. I also use interviews as my method for this study.

This essay deals with the individual collecting of four individuals with different backgrounds and lives. The essay investigates what, how and why people collect. It provides a stepping-stone in moving closer to understanding one, in human nature, deeply rooted phenomenon - collecting.The essay is based on a list of questions made by the Nordic Museum in Stockholm. It also includes in-depth examinations of four person?s passion of collecting, in which four individuals were interviewed: a pig collector, a collector of Mickey Mouse items, a multi-collector of objects from other cultures and one collector of items related to the artist Madonna.

Aeroseum is an aviation Museum located in an old military underground hangar. The ventilation system in the hangar is designed for the military purpose of the hangar. This design includes a solution with air flowing through the space between the construction of the hangar and the rock surface. The solution is intended to avoid a buildup of inflammable gases. This design leads too high humidity levels in the hangar.

Detta arbete är en studie av konstpedagogikens funktion på svenska länsmuseer. Bakgrunden till frågeställningen är dels min egen erfarenhet och nyfikenhet kring konstpedagogikens verksamheter, samt vetskapen om att konstpedagogiken i Sverige är ett relativt outforskat område. Syftet med denna studie har varit att undersöka konstpedagogiken med fokus på dess vidare begrepp, och på så sätt därigenom spegla dess kulturella kontexter, och anställdas attityder på länsmuseerna.Undersökningens huvudsakliga material är insamlat genom intervjuer med anställda på länsmuseer, samt från platsobservationer. Intervjuer och platsobservationer har gjorts på Stockholms, Örebro, samt Jönköpings läns Museum. Resultatet belyser konstpedagogikens funktion på länsmuseerna i förhållande till länet, utställningsrummen, publiken och anställda. Resultatet pekar på många likheter i konstpedagogikens funktioner på länsmuseerna, men också på många olikheter. Vad som förorsakar dessa likheter och olikheter har däremot inte kunnat fastställas i denna studie.

The thesis investigates how Uppsala University student nations steward their cultural heritage. The survey targets how student nations manage their cultural heritage, what financial priority they give it, their attitude towards it, and their awareness of it.A qualitative study of semi-structured interviews with representatives from 11 out of 13 student nations in Uppsala was implemented. The theoretical framework is based on the theory of David Lowenthal on the importance of cultural heritage, Susan Pearce?s theory on collecting, and Pierre Bourdieu?s theory on cultural capital. To investigate the importance of cultural objects theories by Ivo Maroevi?, Annette Weiner, and Igor Kopytoff was applied.The survey shows that stewardship of cultural heritage at Uppsala student nations is poor and in need of reform.

This thesis deals with different methods for measuring moisture-related dimensional changes ofwood. Typically relative humidity is measured to determine if the ambient climate around anobject is harmful to it or not. Values between 40 to 65% RH are recommended for hygroscopicmaterials. To know how a wooden object actually reacts to changes in the surroundingenvironment requires methods that involve the object itself. Because of the wood anisotropy,differences in wood structure, finishes and other restraints, it is not always possible to predict themovements.This paper addresses various measurement methods, primarily methods that have been testedin the field of conservation, with examples of their use.

Uppsatsen bygger på den vandringsdagbok som skrevs under 1952-1954 av 24 nyutexaminerade småskollärarinnor från Norrköpings småskoleseminarium. De hade enats om att skriva brev i dagboksform omfattande tre sidor brevtext och sedan låta boken cirkulera runt till samtliga författare. Boken skulle i första hand spegla deras arbete som lärarinnor och viktiga delar av deras privatliv. För några år sedan skänktes böckerna, 23 av 25, till Arbetets Museum i Norrköping. Jag har tagit del av breven som omfattar lärarinnornas första arbetsår och försökt analysera deras arbete, privatliv, föreningsliv och deras hemligheter som det speglas i vandringsdagboken.

This study examines the cultural place and status of video and computer games in the Swedish public library. Using works on popular culture and the theories of Pierre Bourdieu, this study employs quantitative methods, as well as textual analysis, to analyze the results of an online questionnaire with 19 questions focusing on selection criteria, shelf placement, perceived competence, as well as reasoning for having or not having these games in the library. 286 out of the 440 libraries contacted is participating in the study, and the libraries consist exclusively of public libraries in Sweden that are found in the database of the Royal Library.The results of this study show that a larger number of libraries than previously indicated have started to provide electronic games to their patrons. At the same time, patterns in the data and comments suggests that these games in many cases still do not enjoy the same level of cultural recognition as other media. Indicative of this is the way most libraries seem to focus on the medium being exclusively for their young patrons, with seem-ingly very little in the way of investment for adults.

This master's thesis is a study of how librarians are depicted in crime fiction. 12 American and English mysterynovels featuring librarians in a central role were studied and analysed using character theory. Recurring traitswere identified and organised into themes. A number of prominent traits and themes emerged that show librariansas orderly and organised bibliophiles, but with a taste for adventure and excitement. They are keen problem solverswho enjoy a challenge, at work, or in the form of crime detection.

Purpose/Aim: Exhibitions in cultural-historical Museums have traditionally been object-centered and associated with one-way communication. The aim of this thesis is to gain knowledge about how exhibition producers ? and educationalists at swedish cultural-historical Museums today relate to communication in exhibitions from a communication scientific perspective.Material/Method: The method of the thesis is interviews exhibition producers ? and educationalists at five swedish cultural-historical Museums about how they work with communication issues in exhibitions. The empiricism gained from the interviews have been analyzed from a communication scientific angle, using two communication theories as idealtypes for communication processes; Shannon and Weaver´s model and Stuart Hall´s encoding/decoding-theory.Main results: Communication in exhibitions have developed, much due to the use of more channels for communicating with the visitors and the acknowledgement of the visitor as an active subject in interpreting the exhibitions and their message.Despite this development, communication in exhibitions still have features of a one-way communication. The main feature is the lack of possibilities for visitors to communicate their interpretations and point of views of the exhibition back to the exhibition producers.
