This study illustrates how drama methods and career counselling might interact. The aim is to investigate whether drama methods can enhance career counselling methods. Drama is here defined as an umbrella term that includes all forms of action methods used in psychology and education.A literature survey was carried out in parallel with qualitative research interviews. Three professional drama leaders were interviewed separately. This was followed by a group interview with five upper secondary school students, who had all taken a course in drama with a focus on personal development.The findings show that there are common and consistent goals and values between drama and career counselling.

The main purpose with this master's thesis was to develop a survey with the intention to examine what expectations the JM AB:s customer had on a future garden and also to discuss if the lawn has a symbolic meaning in gardens. The lion's share of the thesis is based on a survey, aimed at people in the company's customer database. The intention was to examine what expectations they had on their future garden and if their expectations were met when they later bought a house from the company. The work also consists of interviews and visits to areas with newly built homes. I interpreted the result from my surveys as the lawn on its own being is a strong symbol for a garden and also signals a social status of the owner. To the company the pre made lawn on a role is a way of saving time and easily achieve what the customer request. The company wants to create a concept of a "preset-garden" that meets the company's vision as well as the expectations of the customer.

Uppsatsen utgår från Märstas historiska bakgrund med fokus på perioden 1950-1970-talet. Mycket i Sverige präglas av miljonprogrammet under 1960-1970-talet och Märsta är ett exempel på detta. Å andra sidan är Märsta ett resultat av 1950-talets planering för en storflygplats vid Halmsjön. Märsta framstod i denna planering som en servicestad i anslutning till flygplatsen.Mitt syfte med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur aktörerna Märsta kommun, Märstadelegationen och regionplanekontoret arbetade med Märsta och använde den generalplan och den vision som utarbetades av Carl-Fredrik Ahlberg, professor i stadsbyggnad och arkitekt. Som geograf och Märstabo ger jag även min bild av Märsta som livsmiljö.

Eutrophication of lakes and streams are nowadays a well known environmental problem and implies an enrichment of the nutrients phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N). Phosphorus is considered to be the most important component for the growth of aquatic plants and leads in too large quantities to an intensification of growth. Phosphate (PO4) is the fraction of phosphorus that can easiest be taken up by plants and thus have the greatest impact on eutrophication. Increased plant growth in lakes and unfavorable conditions for aquatic animals are two examples of negative consequences. A significant portion of the increased nutrient supply to nearby water can be derived to phosphate leaching from agricultural areas, where private sewers and agriculture is two main sources.

In my project, Cups on the run, I have studied the relationship between ceramic utility objects and different environments, when moving them off the table. My background as a potter has been the starting point. From there, I wanted to see if I could expand my craft to the space beyond. With the cup, which for most people has a clear function and a relation to us human, in repetitive structure I explored the spatiality and architecture in various environments. Life fascinates me through how everything is made up of tiny parts that together create the tangible and intangible.

Syftet med studien är att beskriva pedagogens konstruktion av genus hos elever i grundskolans årskurs 5 inom skolämnet idrott och hälsa. Studiens syfte utmynnade i tre forskningsfrågor; Hur organiserar pedagogen undervisningen i ämnet idrott och hälsa med val av lektionsinnehåll och arbetsmetoder ur ett genusperspektiv? Hur gestaltar pedagogen undervisningen verbalt och fysiskt genom attityd, kroppsspråk, språk och dialog ur ett genusperspektiv? Hur medveten är pedagogen om sin delaktighet i elevers konstruktion av genus? Studien genomfördes på fyra skolor i Norrbotten, med fyra verksamma pedagoger i skolämnet idrott och hälsa. För att uppnå det jag ämnade studera använde jag mig av två kvalitativa datainsamlingsmetoder, semistrukturerade observationer och kvalitativa intervjuer. Det empiriska underlaget analyserades och tolkades genom menings-koncentrering med det sociokulturella- och genusperspektivet som teoretisk utgångspunkt.

This thesis primarily includes a study on whether companies can develop a mathematical activity that supports students' motivation in mathematics. The work was done together with Midroc Electro, a company that pays attention to the difficulty of recruiting and therefore was interested in investigating how the business world would be able to contribute.The thesis can be divided into three stages. The first part comprised by a exploration into research on student motivation regarding mathematics as well as numerous interviews with engineers to see how the research findings did fit with Midroc Electros reality. In these studies it became clear that the student who aims for a profession whose education or work requires math belongs to the group of students who primarily manage their studies in mathematics, that is, those that have the greatest motivation to work hard and complete their studies.Research information and interviews were compared and resulted in the thesis second part, Midroc Challenge. An activity where students primarily came to learn about the engineering profession and secondly how mathematics can be used in the engineering profession.

It is a well known archaeological concern that the remains of human bones left from the bronze age and early iron age Scandinavia are not nearly enough to represent the estimated population of the time. Furthermore the bones of each find rarely represent a whole individual. The majority of the bones must have been disposed of somewhere else, possibly scattered in running waters or in the fields, where they have evaporated or are securely hidden from archaeological excavations.This thesis deals with the grave concept and the problem in using a word that is so very clouded by its modern, western meaning. It also offers an alternative explanation to why the bones are handled the way they are and why they are found in such awkward contexts..

Titel: Offentlig upphandling av ma?ltidstransporter- en fallstudie pa? Lerums kommunBakgrund: Lagen om offentlig upphandling, LOU, bero?r alla kommuner och statliga myndigheter. Lagen reglerar hur en upphandling ska ga? till; processen och vad kommunerna fa?r go?ra, vad de ma?ste go?ra och vad de inte fa?r go?ra. Lerums kommun omfattas av LOU och vid en kommande upphandling av en transporttja?nst fo?r ma?ltidsleveranser vill kommunen fo?rfatta ett fo?rfra?gningsunderlag som ga?r i linje med kommunens miljo?vision, utan att bryta mot reglerna som LOU innefattar.

Sedan år 2009 pågår ett nytt förbättringsarbete, en förändringsprocess, som leder till effektiviseringar och förbättringar för Metallprecision AB. Detta förbättringsarbete kallas WISH.

This essay aims at understanding the experience of the use of ayahuasca, and similarities and differences between interview protocols and socio-cultural identities. The work is based on field studies conducted in the Peruvian Andes, in the village of Pisac September to November 2009. What has emerged is that the experience does not seem to be dependent on cultural manifestations as much as it is dependent on general human cognition. Theories have been applied on an empirical phenomenological descriptive study. Various brain activities, along with mental mechanisms contribute to a deeper understanding of the findings in the descriptive analysis.It seems that the cultural differences, which I have classed as typological in the phenomenological study, mostly are expressions of meaning for the informants.

During 2008 we experienced an expansion of large scale investments in foreign farmland. This increasing trend has become a political hot-spot, but there is not much research available within the field. Due to a lack of research it remains a vital task to outline the potential effects of this trend. Drawing on existing ideas from some of the main actors within the field, The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), The World Bank, International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) and the latest G8 summit on agriculture, four main purposes are set out for this paper. First, to outline some of the underlying mechanisms behind the trend is considered crucial for the understanding of the nature of these investments.

The study aims to analyze conceptions of death and dying at a clinic for palliative care, using a constructivist perspective and a discourse analytical approach. The empirical material consists of interviews with staff members, documents and photographs of the environment, taking both space and materiality into account. I conclude that the studied practice is mainly characterized by a tension between a caring discourse and a medical discourse..

Denna uppsats visar utvecklingen av ett konferenshotell i 3D med restaurang, spa och omkringliggande stugor samt modellerad omgivning. Vi fick uppgiften att modellera Öjeberget Järvsö AB: s vision om hur deras ombygge av skidorten Öjeberget ska se ut. Vi använde oss av programmet Autodesk Maya 2009 att göra modellerna och Adobe Premiere för att redigera våra kameraåkningar. Anledningen till att kunden ville ha deras ännu ej genomförda ombyggnad i 3D var för att visa sponsorer och eventuella framtida gäster hur ombyggnaden skulle kunna se ut och hur arbetet fortlöper..
