I work on a lighting design for a dance performance to be on tour. A lighting design adapted for three different conditions was made: - One comprehensive where I allow myself a great deal of creative freedom, adapted for the stages with major technical conditions. - One smaller version for stages with less equipment and with less time for preparation on site. - One design for very simple conditions. I also examine the specific differences between typical theatrical lighting design and typical dance lighting design, and the best way to prepare for the hands-on stage design phase..

Förtätningar kan både gynna staden, dess invånare och hållbarheten men även hota dessa värden. Enligt plan- och bygglagen (PBL 2010:900) ska hänsyn tas till både allmänna och enskilda intressen men enligt 2 kap. 2 § PBL ska företräde ges åt sådan användning som från allmän synpunkt medför en god hushållning. Trots detta händer det att enskilda intressen gynnas framför allmänna intressen, exempelvis när förtätningar sker i offentliga parker utan att allmänheten kompenseras. Syftet med arbetet är att undersöka hur städer kan förtätas utan att allmänintresset missgynnas.

Even though battles have been fought in built-up areas for a long time, there have not been any specific theories connected to it. As the world becomes increasingly urbanized, the problem of not having any complete theories with which to analyze military operations in urban terrain becomes bigger. This essay aims to contribute to the field of military theory by investigating if Robert Leonhard?s theory of combined arms can be used in analyzing such operations and to be able to explaining the outcome of them. The main question posed in this essay is; to what extent can Leonhard?s theory explain the outcome of military operations in urban terrain? The method used to answer this question is a comparative method formed as a case study of two military operations in urban terrain, Operation Vigilant Resolve and Operation Phantom Fury, which both took place in Fallujah during the Iraq war 2004. The intention is to test Leonhard?s theory in both cases by assigning the theory several indicators, which are tested in each case. The result shows that the indicators appeared almost equally in both cases, even though one of the operations was said to be a success and the other a failure.

The study is made on behalf of SCA Skog Jämtlands förvaltning which is one of five administration units that SCA Skog consists of. The purpose of the study is to investigate which reduced expenses there are according to spatial concentration of cutting areas. By increasing the spatial concentration of cutting areas it will reduce the need of movements by trailer, also reduce the number of roads that you use during the activities. To be able to perform the study, access to a annual cuttings in nine years have been made available. From this volume new annual cuttings has been created but more concentrated. The two different results have been compared and the results show that concentration of cutting areas generates reduced need for trailer transports and less km road that has to be maintained. But then, if it´s practical viable can be discussed.

The result of this work is a plan for the development of an 1128 m2 elderly raised garden. The purpose has been to create an overall plan covering the long-term development of the garden. The work process has covered a description of the garden of today, review of requirements, analysis of the garden sections, design of a new plan as well as starting the construction of the new garden. The plan covers a time period of a couple of years to create the new garden since the construction work is carried out during spare time with small resources available. The planning must contain review of functions such as protection from insight, eating area and compost area. Also the esthetic expression must be planned. Colors, shapes, choice of material and plants together make up the esthetic expression. It is recommended to include anything you wish to create in the garden. In a raised garden one has to overcome the step to remove trees and shrubs and think different.

Through previous studies during my education, I have experienced that chemical deicing road salt is a known problem, mainly in southern Sweden. Road salt causes damage to the environment and also damage to vehicles and structures such as bridges, etc. Road salt causes vehicles and steel constructions to rust, leading to increased costs for repairs of damage to structures. Road salt also causes damage to the plants and the economy to suffer, when plant material and soil needs to be replaced. In order to get closer to a solution, I put up three questions.

Det övergripande planeringsproblem som behandlas i detta arbete är polariteten mellan stat och kommun i den fysiska samhällsplaneringen. Detta undersöks genom att studera hur områden för landsbygdsutveckling i strandnära läge (LIS) tillämpas inom områden som är av riksintresse enligt 3 och 4 kap, Miljöbalken. Genom att peka ut områden för LIS i områden av riksintresse bryter kommunerna det statliga monopolet. Det som undersöks i detta arbete är alltså förhållandet mellan statens och kommunernas intressen, som blir extra tydlig eftersom strandskyddet och riksintressen härstammar från olika paradigm, miljö- respektive planeringsparadigmet, och därmed två olika lagområden trots att de båda, numer, finns i Miljöbalken. Syftet med arbetet är att analysera förhållandet mellan stat och kommun genom att studera de problem som kan uppstå vid utpekande av LIS i områden av riksintressen. Arbetet syftar även till att studera skillnaderna mellan miljö- och planeringsparadigmen inom den fysiska planeringen. För att undersöka detta har arbetet följande frågeställningar: ? Vilka avvägningar görs mellan utpekade områden för strandskyddsupphävande och riksintresseområden? ? Vad baseras invändningar från länsstyrelserna i yttrandena på? ? Hur fungerar relationen mellan länsstyrelsen och kommunerna i realiteten? ? Vilka konflikter kan skönjas i planeringens praktiska tillämpning mellan miljö- och planeringsparadigmen? För att kunna studera planeringsproblemet och besvara frågeställningarna har olika metoder använts.

How can former military area I5 in Östersund, Sweden, evolve into Stadsdel Norr ("The Northern Quarter") ? an attractive part of the town center? In a theoretical part of the essay the significants of well functioning towns and streets are investigated. The history of Östersund and I5 is shortly reviewed. Present recommendations concerning city design are presented along with guidelines from Vägverket (National Road Administration) for urban streets. The conclusion reached is that a fundamental structure of streets and roads, public and private spaces, is crucial for the possible future development of an area.

Outdoor recreation habits in metropolis and rural areasThis study aims to examine the perception of nature and outdoor recreation habits from an urban-rural prospective. The urbanization process continues in Sweden and the populations of the cities are growing continuously. Trends to build more compact and ?climate smart? reigns and with this a risk that green areas and areas where outdoor recreation can be practiced are situated further and further away from the urban population. Analyzing the responses from a survey made by the research program Friluftsliv i förändring 2007 we have examined if and which differences exists between urban and rural areas regarding their perception of nature, outdoor recreation habits and factors influencing the practice of outdoor recreation.

Skillingaryd en ort i Vaggeryds kommun med ca 3800 invånare. Det är ett litet samhälle med allt vad det innebär. Varför väljer man att bo så? Vilken sorts livsmiljö är Skillingaryd? Vad är det som gör orten attraktiv? För att besvara frågorna ovan görs en ortsanalys som undersöker vilken typ av livsmiljö Skillingaryd är och som speglar hur Skillingarydsborna ser på sin ort och på sin vardag på orten. För att få en inblick i Skillingarydsbornas vardag tillfrågas en samling personer som bor på orten eller har en koppling till orten om deras syn på samhället.

A design methodology to mitigate timing problems due to long wire delays is proposed. The timing problems are taking care of at architecture level instead of layout level in this design method so that no change is needed when the whole design goes to backend design. Hence design iterations are avoided by using this design methodology. The proposed design method is based on STARI architecture, and a novel initialization mechanism is proposed in this paper. Low frequency global clock is used to synchronize the communication and PLLs are used to provide high frequency working clocks.

Våra städer och tätorter skiftar snabbt karaktär efter det att solen gått ned. Befolkningen i Sverige lever och verkar med ett fåtal timmar dagsljus per dygn under en betydande del av året. Utomhusmiljöer som dagtid är behagliga och fulla av liv kan kvällstid kännas hotfulla. Detta kan till stor del härledas till undermålig belysning. Förmågan att känna igen, se sin omgivning och möjligheten till att orientera sig försämras avsevärt när solens naturliga ljus ersätts av konstgjort ljus.

AbstractWork to develop the Eurocodes started in 1975 by the European Commission adopted a program to eliminate trade barriers within the construction area. The goal was to create common European design standards that would replace the member countries' own rules. Eurocodes will replace The National Board of Housing Building and Planning, National Rail, The National Road Administration and other agencies' calculation rules for the buildings structures. The transition to the use of Eurocodes looks like this:Eurocodes set to Swedish standards  between 2002 ? 2007They can be used parallel with national standards 2006 - 2009 The total transition is at the end of 2010/2011.Right now is going on a lot of work for replacement of the existing standards to Eurocodes.  The transition to the new calculations` standards, many construction companies and consulting firms facing a big changes and competitions.
