This work is about getting to know tufting as a technique and to design tufted products for home furnishing.It all began in Finland, where during springtime 2004, I got in contact with the technique oftufting for the first time. A very pleasant meeting that resulted in two carpets and a longing to continueand learn more. It was then that an idea for my final project started to take form. My wish was to designtufted ?floor jewelleries? and cushions.I made a base for my project during a design project in autumn 2004.

In the new Library Act of 2014, it is stated that public library supply should be characterized by quality. To investigate what this means for the library, I do a functional analysis of ideas of librarians' views on quality and how they work with purchasing, weeding and mediation. I have chosen to limit the essay to fiction for adults in Swedish public libraries. By combining the basal idea analysis, where I investigate librarians' ideas about quality, with an operational analysis of ideas, where I examine the effects librarians' quality ideas get for the daily work, Iwant to find out the librarians' quality ideals.The material I analyze consists of 18 questionnaires, filled out by librarians with responsibility for purchasing and / or thinning in libraries across Sweden. The analysis is done with an analytical schedule, that consists of a number of opposing ideal types taken from previous research on quality, purchasing, thinning or mediation.

Mobile Internet will probable take place when new technologies as GPRS, EDGE and UMTS will be in use. These technologies in combination with the development of new terminals and services will bring new capabilities for both companies and private users. This report describes how a portal should be designed in order to meet the needs on the market.

This paper is about the composition and function of boards of social enterprises. A social enterprise can be defined as a company, which is founded by users or external stakeholder in order to create jobs (or a work place), a meaning in live or to further integration. One tries to achieve this goal by a business activity and/or subsidies and/or neighbourhood projects. The amount of social enterprises grew steadily after the restructuring of social welfare in Sweden since the 1980. Alternative forms of welfare ? such as a social enterprise ? will probably grow further in importance.

Bakgrund: Distriktssköterskor som arbetar inom barnhälsovården möter i sitt arbete de flesta familjerna ute i samhället och har möjlighet att komma i kontakt med barn som far illa. Misstankar att barn far illa måste anmälas till socialtjänsten. Anmälan om misstankar kan leda till etiska dilemman där rättvisa, att göra gott och inte skada skapar konflikter.Syfte: Syftet med studien var att inom BHV belysa sjuksköterskors erfarenheter  av anmälningsplikten till socialtjänsten, vid misstankar om barn som far illa.Metod: Studien genomfördes utifrån en kvalitativ ansats. Sex distriktssköterskor inom barnhälsovården deltog vid semistrukturerade intervjuer. Data analyserades med kvalitativ innehållsanalys på manifest nivå.Resultat: Studiens resultat presenteras i fyra huvudkategorier och elva underkategorier.

Bakgrund: Högskolan Kristianstad ger sjuksköterskestudenter möjlighet att göra utlandspraktik.

To fit into our society the dogs of today need a good mentality. To investigate their mentalitydifferent behavior tests have been developed. The tests are useful tools in the selection ofbreeding animals as well as for working and companion dogs. To counter the demand for atest that could be suited for all kind of dogs, regardless of their future function, the mentalitytest Beteende- och personlighetsbeskrivning hund (BPH) was developed. BPH consists ofseven subtests that expose dogs to various situations that can be found in everyday life, suchas meeting an unfamiliar person, sudden noises and suddenly appearing objects.The aim of this study was to find out if there are differences in physiological values betweenindividuals, validate the behavior observations during BPH and get aware of how the dogsexperience the situation.

              Sammanfattning Pedagogers möte med elever i matematiksvårigheter En intervjustudie om hur pedagoger tänker och arbetar när de möter elever i matematiksvårigheter samt dessa elevers uppfattningar om undervisningen och lärandet i matematik. Jeanette Ekberg och Rose-Marie Israelsson, VT 2009 The teacher´s meeting with students in mathematics difficulties Antal sidor: 59Syftet med vårt examensarbete är att undersöka vilka uppfattningar verksamma lärare har om elever i matematiksvårigheter, hur de arbetar för att stödja dessa elever samt hur eleverna själva tänker om sin undervisning, sitt lärande och svårigheterna. Vår bakgrund består av en litteraturgenomgång där vi har sammanställt begrepp, utvärderingar samt forskning och litteratur som berör området matematiksvårigheter och matematikundervisningen. I vårt arbete har vi använt oss av kvalitativa, semi - strukturerade intervjuer som metod. Vi har intervjuat fem pedagoger som undervisar i matematik i år 4 och 5 samt 12 av deras elever i matematiksvårigheter. Genom examensarbetet har vi fått fördjupad insikt i hur pedagoger uppfattar matematiksvårigheter och vilka strategier de använder för att hjälpa elever i matematiksvårigheter. Vårt resultat pekar på en undervisning som för pedagogernas del är komplex och där det finns svårigheter att anpassa undervisningen för att möta varje individ. Orsakerna till elevernas svårigheter finns enligt pedagogerna hos eleven eller i hemmet.

This is a master thesis on how to develop the central area of Norra Fäladen, a suburban housing area in the town of Lund, Sweden. The area is discussed on the basis of literature studies, analysis, and place descriptions, which leads on to a proposal. The starting point for the proposal is to create a more lively local centre and to make the area pleasanter for the visitor. A large part of the thesis is devoted to giving a background about local centres and to describe and analyse the area. Fäladstorget has an important role as a central place for supply and services and as a local meeting place for the inhabitants of Norra Fäladen.

I gained my interest for color during my years at the landscape architect program. I felt that you as a student in design courses constantly were faced with the problems of coloration. A subject that I perceived to be difficult, especially for us students that lacked the experiences from how a project on the drawing board turns out when it finally is built. As a professional landscape architect you there have a greater experience but I wondered how much awareness about color you actually have as a professional. How does one think about coloration and how can you use color as a formative tool? And how does color truly affect us humans? Does color have significance for the experience of landscape architecture? The object with this project is to illustrate color and it?s place in landscape architecture.
