Eynavster : En studie om teknik som hjälpmedel för synskadade i utomhusnavigering
Navigating to different locations isn?t always easy. Imagine then how it is for people with a visual impairment to walk across the street or to get from one point to another. The Swedish Association of the Visually Impaired (SRF) has pointed out that today's society is not sufficiently accessible to people with visual impairment and there are improvements that need to get done. Technology is something that has evolved a lot this last decade and occurs today almost everywhere in our environment.In some areas, technology has facilitated people's daily life very much and we have therefore chosen to examine whether a combination of several technical functions integrated into the fictive artifact called Eyenavster can facilitate outdoor orientation and increase the accessibility for people with a visual impairment.Qualitative data collection methods have been used in this study by six interviews to answer our question.

Att växa i lekmiljöer : hållbar och funktionell växtanvändning i lekmiljöer för förskolebarn
The preschool constitutes a big part of many
children's everyday existence. Its contents are
therefore of great importance and the environment
deserves a well thoughtout design. In this
study, surveys in field and literature have resulted
in conclusions around how plants can be used in
children's play environments, in order to contribute
to the experiencerelated values. The aim
is to present conclusions to lean on when drawing
up designproposals for new playgrounds,
especially where the natural conditions are not so
favorable. The first question that is responded to
is how plants can be used in order to enrich the
children's play environments.

Att leva i en aktiv värld - svenska och danska barns umgänge med pedagoger i en virtuell värld
In my study I have participated at the Fifth Dimension / Active Worlds site in
Villa Gymnastiken in Ronneby, where I have worked both as an assistant to the
project leader and as a researcher, but also as a participant together with the
children. The children are working in a virtual world called Femtedim, created
in a internet-based program named Active Worlds Education Universe. The
Femtedim-world are bridging together two physical worlds in Ronneby and
Copenhagen.
My main focus is on an intervention that occurred in the 12th of March when the
research-team in Copenhagen, which runs the project in Denmark, decided to
create a new challenge for the children since some of them started to get
bored. They added gravitation to the Femtedim-world, which lead to a few
different reactions among the children. Most of the children didn´t like it and
were very hostile towards the idea that they would not be able to fly around
freely in the Femtedim-world.
Konvertering av CRM-system från ASP till ASP.NET
S2 CRM is a Customer Relations Management system built in classic ASP that runs on a web server servicing customers with varying needs. The purpose of this thesis work is to convert parts of the system to the web development environment ASP.NET. The purpose is also to gain knowledge of the framework itself. The ASP.NET environment is compared with another framework, JBoss Seam, in order to understand the differences and to evaluate the possibility of using another framework than ASP.NET, when building the new system. The outcome of this comparison is that although JBoss Seam is just as good, and in some aspects better than ASP.NET, the use of ASP.NET simplifies the continuation of development on the S2 CRM product.
Inomhusmiljön i förskolan och vilka faktorer som påverkar den.
Studien är en kvalitativ undersökning som bygger på guidade rundvandringar och intervjuer med sex pedagoger från tre olika förskolor, både på småbarnsavdelningar och på syskonavdelningar. Syftet med studien var att undersöka vilken betydelse pedagoger tillmäter inomhusmiljöns utformning i förskolan med avseende på barns tillgångar till material och aktiviteter för sin utveckling och sitt lärande. Kunskapsöversikten redogör för ett historiskt perspektiv om hur förskolans inomhusmiljö har utvecklats och exempel ges på pedagogiska influenser som förskolorna kan ta idéer ifrån. Den belyser även miljöaspekten utifrån olika styrdokument och litteratur. Resultatet visar på att förskolornas inomhusmiljö har en fast objektiv miljö som utformas utifrån de resurser som finns tillgängliga för att få den subjektiva miljön i verksamheten.

Vad har påverkat utvecklingen av den etiska klädmarknaden? - En jämförande kvalitativ studie av Storbritannien och Sverige
There is a growing interest for ethical consumption, in general as well as in
the clothing industry. The consumption of ethical clothes is a complex
phenomenon though, where aspects such as quality, style, function, price,
time assets, accessibility and ethical attitudes affect the decision making.
Researches that have been executed show the diversities in development
between different countries. There are fairly strong indications that the
ethical clothing market is more advanced in the United Kingdom than in
Sweden and therefore these two countries are objects of this research.
The aim with this thesis is to describe and explain what have affected the
development of the ethical clothing market in the United Kingdom compared
to Sweden. For that reason a qualitative approach has mainly been used,
where deep interviews with people within the ethical clothing industry have
contributed to most of the empirical part. As a complement secondary data
such as statistics of the two countries have been used in order to investigate
our area.
One useful tool, among others, to investigate the macro environment is the
SLEPT model.

Fluidrörelse- och värmetransportsmodellering i götugn
The purpose of this thesis for Sapa Heat Transfer is to examine a furnace in which aluminium is pre-heated before hot rolling. The project is modeled in a computer environment in which the air flow in the furnace and the heat transfer to the aluminium solids are included. The computer environment and its governing equations, as well as boundary conditions and generalizations, are presented and explained.The simulations are based on two models. The first model has an asymmetric solid placement, which is how it looks in today's ovens. It is validated against collected data.
