I de flesta fall är diagnosen en välkommen orsaksförklaring till individens symtom men den kan också komma att bli en mall med förväntningar som individen anpassar sig efter. Det finns risk att individen låter sig påverkas negativt av diagnosen. Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur terapeutiskt verksamma personer upplever att patienten påverkas av att få diagnosen depression. Sex semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med deltagare som valdes målinriktat utifrån följande kriterium: kliniskt verksamma terapeuter med minst fem års erfarenhet inom utredning och/eller behandling av patienter med depressionstillstånd. Resultaten visade att den formella diagnosen enligt terapeuterna sällan upplevdes negativt av patienten utan att den istället normaliserade och förklarade individens tillstånd.

Construction companies are frequently criticized for high prices and long construction time. At the same time, statistics shows that construction workers are on the sick-list for occupational injuries or casualties more than other groups at the labour market.Skanska built a block of flats with tenant-ownerships in Gävle. The construction consists of concrete walls with in-fill walls in the front. The purpose with this degree project is to perform a risk analysis in work environment with focus on repetitive strain injuries and control the time report for in-fill walls manufactured in a field factory. The result of this project will help to make more realistic cost predictions in the future.This degree project has been performed in cooperation with the construction company Skanska.

Denna studie är en fallstudie av företaget SICK IVP AB som utvecklar kameror förindustriell avsyning. De var intresserade av att undersöka hur deras användareuppfattade en av deras produkter. Studien syftar att undersöka hursensemaking1 kan användas för att förstå prototyper i designprocessen ividareutveckling av en produkt.En kvalitativ användarstudie genomfördes och låg till grund för ett antalprototyper som skapades och som sedan blev huvudfokus i studien.Prototyperna var huvudsakligen pappersprototyper, byggda med en viss grovhetför att skapa en bättre grund för diskussioner och idégenerering. Resultatet visarpå vikten av externa representationer för att uppnå sensemaking idesignprocessen, i det här fallet det underliggande designproblemet.Sensemakingen i designprocessen ökade när personer från olika disciplinerjobbade tillsammans med olika externa representationer så som prototyper somutgångspunkt. Prototypernas utseende visade sig inte alltid bli huvudfokus fördiskussionerna utan de fungera istället som en katalysator för samtalen somberörde större delar av designen.

Överkänslighet mot kemiska ämnen i vår omgivning skapar hälsoproblem som ?sick building syndrome? samt ?multiple chemical sensitivity?. Båda tros kunna starta efter långvarig lågdos-exponering av kemikalier som till slut resulterar i en överkänslighet. Symptombilden är blandad och diagnostiseringen svår. Bland annat stress verkar vara en påverkande faktor liksom det kemestetiska hudsinnet.

Individuals considered as tax residents in Sweden may if they are working abroad for six months alternatively one year be granted a tax exemption concerning the income originating from the work abroad. Short intermissions (kortare avbrott) are permitted without impact on the tax exemption, however this requires that the intermission is not placed in the beginning or in the end and that the stay in Sweden does not exceed 72 days a year. A time limit regarding intermissions in a third country is however not regulated. There-fore the Swedish tax agency (Skatteverket) has published a non binding standpoint which regulates the entire intermission allowed to a maximum of 96 days a year whereof 72 days may be spent in Sweden. The definition is more extensive than earlier and uncer-tainty occurs as to whether the extension contradicts the principle of legality.The purpose of the thesis is to investigate the value of the Swedish tax agency?s stand-point concerning short intermissions.

A group of companies that only recently has caught the attention of Swedish designers, enterprises and media are the so -called "furniture pirates". In Sweden it?s mainly two companies that have ended up in the spotlight. The online stores Ikon M and Designers Revolt are two companies which currently sell replicas of famous Swedish and foreign designers. Although the designs sold are copyright protected in Sweden, and most other European countries, the right holders can only stand by and watch as more or less exact copies are sold for a fraction of the price of the originals.The business model - to exploit the EU?s free movement of goods and the UK's short term of copyright protection in matter of mass-produced art (industrial design) - has proven successful for the companies that practice it.

 Uppsatsen analyserar klimatterminologin på Naturvårdsverkets webbplats under vårvintern 2009. Fokus ligger på termerna miljö, klimat, klimatbelastning och klimatpåverkan. Syftet är att se om terminologin är enhetlig för om den är enhetlig, så når man lättare ut med sitt budskap. Genom att sålla ut klimattermerna från Naturvårdsverkets webbplats har begreppen fastställts och terminologin analyserats med hjälp av fackexperter och terminologisk metod. Nybildning av klimattermer innebär ofta sammansättningar med ordet klimat. Vissa termer används konsekvent medan andra förklaras på olika sätt i en och samma text. Klimat är en term som är tydligt och klart definierad och används konsekvent i texten.
