During spring 2007, I Matilda Lindblom, undertook my Bachelor Degree project in Furniture Design. The supervisors were Agneta Stake at Nola in Stockholm and Leo Jóhannsson, teacher and examiner at Carl Malmsten CTD in Stockholm.The project was based on three elements:? Cooperate together with a producer for professional supervision? Learn to work from a given design brief.? To learn more about industrial production? Learn more about furniture for public areasI contacted a furniture producer called Nola AB, in Stockholm, who became my work partner during this project. The asked me to design a piece of furniture where you can sit and work with a laptop on. The target was for public areas, for example in parks, malls, or at airports.In cooperation with Nola, my ambition was to develop this piece of furniture that was the answers on their wishes and demands.

Sedan oktober 2011 sköter Sjukvårdens Larmcentral, SvLC, utalarmeringen av akuta sjukdomsfall som inkommer vid 112-samtal. Samtidigt infördes ett nytt medicinskt beslutsstöd för de sjuksköterskor som tar emot de akuta samtalen. Då orsaken till buksmärta är komplext och svårt att identifiera hos patienterna valdes just detta tillstånd för granskning.Syfte: Att undersöka om det medicinska beslutsstödet för sjuksköterskorna på SvLC i Uppsala län är en tillförlitlig hjälp i identifieringen av patienter med akuta buksmärtor, samt att undersöka om det fanns ålder-eller könsskillnader.Metod: En empirisk kvantitativ studie med en retrospektiv journalgranskning. Sammanlagt 151 patienter som ringt ambulans på grund av buksmärta och som av larmcentralen prioriterats som livshotande (prioritet 1) eller brådskande (prioritet 2) har granskats.Resultat: SvLC´s initiala bedömningar stämde väl överens med de prehospitala bedömningar sjuksköterskan i ambulans gjorde. Hos prio1-gruppen hade 48 % diagnostiserats buksmärta UNS, det vill säga buksmärta utan närmare specifikation, och hos prio 2-gruppen var det 40 % som fått samma diagnos.

This paper investigates the autobiography of Damien Echols. The autobiographical subject, Echols, depicts his life as a marginalized youth during the nineteen seventies and nineteen eighties in Arkansas, USA. It also explores the years that Echols spent on Death Row after having been arrested along with two other youths for the murder of three eight-year-old boys; a crime all three of the accused denied having committed. In 2011, after eighteen years of incarceration, the three now grown up men were released from prison. The author of this paper discusses biography and especially autobiography as a genre and explores to what extent memories represent the actual life the autobiographical subject, Echols, has lived and if memories are or can be truthful.

To the sewer systems households, industries and other activities are connected. The wastewater is collected at treatment plants where a nutritious sludge is produced. The sludge does not only contain nutrients, but also hazardous substances originating from different activities in society. To reduce the flow of hazardous substances to treatment plants and to create a sustainable recycling of plant nutrients the Swedish Water & Wastewater Association has developed the certificate system REVAQ. This certificate requires a good quality of the sludge but also that the treatment plants maps the origin of the unwanted substances.

Studiens syfte är att undersöka vilken kunskap och erfarenhet socialsekreterare i Uppsala län har gällande sambandet mellan mäns våld mot kvinnor och våld mot husdjur, samt deras erfarenhet av att bevilja ekonomiskt bistånd för kostnader kopplade till våldsutsatta kvinnors husdjur. För att bäst belysa vår studies syfte och besvara våra frågeställningar valdes en kvantitativ ansats och en enkätundersökning genomfördes. Materialet omfattar svar från 142 respondenter från sju kommuner i Uppsala län. Enkäten innefattade även en öppen fråga vilken utmynnade i ett kvalitativt underlag. Tidigare forskning visar att mäns våld mot kvinnor är ett stort samhällsproblem samt att det förekommer ett samband mellan mäns våld mot kvinnor och våld mot husdjur. Resultaten i föreliggande undersökning visar att majoriteten av socialsekreterare har vetskap om sambandet mellan mäns våld mot kvinnor och våld mot husdjur, samt ser ett behov av jourhem för våldsutsatta kvinnors husdjur.

Centralt belägen offentlig mark är i regel ytor som används effektivt. Kommunerna behöver göra avvägningar mellan praktiska lösningar och rekreativa miljöer för att skapa en fungerande stadskärna. Parkering och parkmark är exempel på samhällsnyttiga faktorer som behöver erbjudas i stadsrummet. Österplan i Uppsala är en kommunalt ägd yta som består av lika delar parkering och parkmark. Uppsalas mest centrala delar saknar kvarterspark i närområdet, vilket Österplan skulle kunna erbjuda.

Växtgestaltning är ett av landskapsarkitektens viktigaste verktyg. Det är också en komplex process eftersom växtmaterialet förändras beroende på faktorer som ståndort, växtzon och årstid. I mitt arbete har jag undersökt växtgestaltningsprocessen genom att ta fram ett förslag som fokuserar på växtgestaltning för hela året. Arbetet har skett genom inventering, analys och intervjuer som ledde fram till ett gestaltningsprogram och en konceptidé. Vid valet av växter använde jag mig av Nick Robinsons metod ?funktion, karaktär, ståndort?.

Hemsjukvårdscentralen began its work from Tunåsens Hospital in Uppsala in 1962, with the purpose to give conomic support to people who nursed their chronic sick relatives in home. Hemsjukvårdscentralen ended its work in 1987, and delivered its archive to the County council of Uppsala in 1988. About half of the archive consisted of medical records of the patients who had received economical support, and many of the archival records was considered as ?work papers?, non-archival records that could be discarded. Two obvious problems emerge from the organizing of the records.
