Boendesegregationen i våra svenska städer är ett problem som ökar. Den fysiska planeringen är en faktor som påverkar hur väl stadsdelar är fysiskt integrerade med varandra. Olika planeringsideal leder till skilda typer av fysiska strukturer, och i stadsbyggnadsprojekt finns idag visioner om att koppla samman fysiskt och socialt segregerade stadsdelar med den nya strukturen. Målet är att bidra till en ökad integration, såväl fysiskt som socialt. Syftet med arbetet har varit att studera två sådana aktuella projekt, H+ i Helsingborg och Hyllie i Malmö, för att se vilka fysiska strukturer och arbetssätt som förordas och vad de ser för möjligheter och begränsningar att genomföra visionerna. En diskursanalys med visionsdokument och intervjuer med projektdeltagare som grund genomfördes, för att se på vilket sätt det talas om att den fysiska planeringen kan bidra till integration.

Betydelsen av begreppet offentlighet har sedan antiken förändrats i takt med samhällets utveckling och det är först i efterhand som innebörden av begreppet för olika tidsepoker har kunnat urskiljas. I detta kandidatarbete ges en bakgrund till tidigare tolkningar av offentlighet utifrån Jürgen Habermas klassiska verk Borgerlig offentlighet, som skildrar utvecklingen ur ett historiskt och ett sociologiskt perspektiv. Utifrån detta förs en diskussion hur begreppet offentlighet kan tolkas i samtida stadsmiljöer. Ett offentligt rum som står inför en omvandling är Stortorget i Karlskrona. Genom tillämpning av teoretiska utformnings- principer för offentliga rum presenteras ett förslag till hur torget, med sin starka historiska anknytning och sitt centrala läge i staden, kan omgestaltas. Förslaget, i form av en nolliplan, visar hur rumsliga inslag på torget stärks utav en arkitektonisk indelning av torget i mindre platser och varierade gaturum..

The thesis is about integration in the city and how integration can be improved through physical planning. Segregation can result in changing peoples? prerequisites in our society. Opportunities in life become dependent on what area of the city you live in or where you grew up.

When the Eolshällproject was completed for the first time, a great deal of moisturedamage was discovered. Therefore the structure completion was removed andreinstalled. The project was originally planned to cost a total of 126 million SEK, but thefinal costs landed on 271 million SEK. What caused this failure? Were the designs poor,was the technology used too advanced, or was the project not managed properly?Based on the Eolshällproject, theses will be presented about what may have caused themoisture damage.

To make it easier for forestry planning the forest owners needs data which describe characteristics of the forest. Such data you usually get from some type of inventory. A relatively new technology which probably is getting more important in the future, is laser scanning because of lower costs. But because the laser technology is relatively new you need to compare it with conventional inventory technologies to get better understanding of the possibilities the laser technology gives. This work intends to estimate field measured characteristics of the forest from laser data with help of regression analysis and then see which of the field measured properties that best could be estimated and which laser variables that gave the best results. This study shows that heights has the best estimates, but biomass, diameter and volume also gives good estimates.

Uppsatsen handlar om planinstrumenten tätortsstudie, fördjupad översiktsplan och detaljplan. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka om tätortsstudien som planinstrument är ett alternativ till den fördjupade översiktsplanen som kan göra planprocessen enklare eller snabbare. Samt om detaljplanen kan på ett effektivt sätt hantera samma frågor och problem som en tätortsstudie och fördjupad översiktsplan. Uppsatsens forskningsdesign är fallstudie, fallet som valts är Hälleviksstrand, Orust kommun. Metoderna som använts är dokumentstudie, kvalitativ innehållsanalys och intervju.

The works of an employee within an authority involves many laws and rules that have to be followed at the same time every case is unique and the resources are limited.

For better understanding of how users interact with the video on demand service Netflix a study was conducted in 10 Swedish households. This study is based on the well-established heuristic evaluation method of Jacob Nielsen, which we modified slightly by letting the users to act as ?evaluation experts? and informing them about the heuristic rules of thumb during the evaluation process. The purpose of this study was to identify usability problems when people interact with Netflix? interface.

This thesis explore women?s needs when reentering society after having served a sentence at the female prison Färingsö, outside Stockholm and whether those needs are being met in the reentry strategies that are being provided. Parallel to this the thesis also examines if there, based on nonconformity and gender theories, is a socially constructed representation of women maintained in the rehabilitation work.The method of this thesis applied semi-structured interviews and used snowball sampling to expand the network of informants to obtain the data necessary. Totally five interviews were carried out. Previous research has shown that women in prison have much more complex problems than men and that there is a need for reentry strategies that take gender in account.The results showed that in terms of being able to reenter back in society, women needed help to structure a previously chaotic life.

This is a qualitative study where the purpose was to investigate what professionals experience to be the reason for an individual to become addicted to gambling and continues to gamble even though it leads to negative consequences.

The main findings of the study were that the motivation for individuals with a gambling problem to continue gamble was that they saw gambling as the solution to their problems by winning back lost money. It was common that gambling was an escape from anxiety, guilt, shame, and other gambling-related problems such as financial liabilities.

The aim of this study is to analyze how problems are represented within SOU 2008:27. Further more, the aim is to analyze how the new subject plan for history can bee seen as a product of this document. The method used, and the theoretical frame of the study, is based on Carol Lee Bacchi?s ?what´s the problem represented to be?? approach, which basic principle is that policies are filled with representations of problems and that these representations need to be examined. These problem representations are then themselves subject for scrutiny, the second step being an analysis of the texts presumptions and assumptions concerning view of man and perception of knowledge. The results show, among other things, that a problem representations can be found in the SOU; the school system is too vague and unclear.
