Syftet med studien var att belysa hur den fysiska miljön inverkar på patienters hälsa under sjukhusvistelse. Författarna valde att avgränsa den fysiska vårdmiljön till det som avser den inifrån upplevda byggnadens miljö för medicinsk vård och omvårdnad inom sjukhus. Det vill säga arkitektur, design och estetik, ljus och ljud. I studien användes Florence Nightingales omvårdnadsmodell som teoretisk referensram. Studien var en litteraturstudie med en kvalitativ ansats.

The residential yard at Kvarteret Landsfiskalen 1, in the area Herrgården in Rosengård, Malmö was built in 1971 and has since then been reconstructed twice, in 1984 and 2008. The yard is found in an area which was built during the years 1965 ? 1974, a period in which the swedish goverment approved a decision to build one million homes, and much of the events in this particular yard is also typical for the process in many other areas built during the same period.At the original construction the design of the yard was entirely incused by the pressure in time and finance, one was under at that time, in order to over- come the housing shortage. The design it has nevertheless been given, reflects the esthetic ideals of that time well.The building of the area was barely finished when the swedish authori- ties started handing out grants in order to support the rearmament of the outdoor environment in the areas built during the so called ?million program?.

Ever since Thomas More?s book Utopia was published in 1516, theutopian idea has not lost its topicality and has been strongly rootedin literature, art, film and architecture. Utopia can be seen as a statein which utopia allows a space for wishes, dreams and a desire forsomething better. In my degree project I have chosen to explore thehistorical utopian ideas to create a content that treats utopia on asubjective level. With visual communication as a starting point I havetried to fixate this state in a book.

The competition amongst companies is getting tougher and the economic markets are getting even bigger with new products and businesses. One way for companies to differentiate themselves from the competitors is through packaging design. If the merchandise is to send a reliable and solid message to consumers, the attributes of the packaging must be consistent and uniform. If the different attributes are not coherent, the message loses credibility towards the consumer. Through the sent messages, the pack signals the products? expected quality and price.This paper includes two studies, in which the main objective is to discover and build understanding about Swedish consumers? perception of a product?s price depending on the pack?s design.

Vi lever idag i ett konsumtionssamhälle som innebär att vi förbrukar varor och tjänster i en hög takt och konsumtionsbeteendet styrs inte enbart av behov utan snarare av en vilja att förnya och att stärka vår sociala position. Den ökade konsumtionen har lett till ett köp och släng beteende som tär på jordens resurser och om företag på något sätt kan undvika detta är det positivt ur både ett samhälls- och miljöperspektiv. Ett sätt att få konsumenterna att köpa färre produkter och mer sällan är att öka graden av design i produkten och därmed förlänga produktens hållbarhet. Design har som första uppgift att säkra människans överlevnad och när basbehoven är uppfyllda kan design även användas för att göra livet mer bekvämt och innehållsrikt. Begreppet design handlar inte enbart om utseende, utan innefattar per definition funktionalitet och målet med design är att uppfylla behov hos användarna både vad gäller funktion och utseende.

Denna studie omfattar och undersöker de förhållande som existerar kring psykologi och ludologi med på att förena sambanden mellan människors behov och utmaningar i spel. Resultaten representeras via en grafisk illustration där funna samband påvisas. Av det material som använts mest (som hållfast grund), inkluderas Manfred A. Max-Neef?s Human Scale Development och Ernest Adams Fundamentals of Game Design.

Denna studie anv?nder sig av korpusbaserade metoder f?r att analysera inl?rartexter skrivna av inl?rare i svenska med franska som modersm?l. Huvudsyftet ?r att ta reda p? i vilken grad dessa inl?rare anv?nder best?mdhet i svenska nominalfraser enligt m?lspr?ksnormen. Med kvantitativa metoder inringas de tendenser bland avvikelserna som finns i korpusen.

During the spring of 2013 we developed a visual identity for Jönköping Bandy, a bandy association in Jönköping, which was founded in 1947.Jönköping Bandy?s main problem was the low interest for the association by the local people. The association also had problems with the economy, which made it hard for them to merchandise themselves.In Jönköping, there were a lot of sport associations, and therefore, it was difficult to find sponsors. One way to help the association, was to create a good visual identity for them. A visual identity that would reflect on the proper values of the association.The intention was: ?Through graphical design, we want to convey Jönköping Bandy to a larger amount of people, and get increased knowledge in graphical idiom.? and was torn apart into these three questions:What core values does Jönköping Bandy have, and how can we convey them through the visual identity?Which visual materials does Jönköping Bandy need?How do other teams in Allsvenskan Södra merchandise themselves through their websites?The work began with a study of relevant theoretical literature, with focus on graphical design.

Syfte: Syftet med studien ?r att utforska ungdomars f?rh?llningss?tt till och resonemang kring konsumtion av frukt och gr?nsaker, samt kostr?det kopplat till detta. Metod: I denna kvalitativa studie utf?rdes fyra semistrukturerade gruppintervjuer som ?ven innefattar praktiska moment med frukt och gr?nsaker. Urvalet bestod av 24 personer fr?n ?ttonde klass. Datamaterialet analyserades genom en kvalitativ inneh?llsanalys f?r att identifiera betydande kategorier. Resultat: Deltagarnas svar visade att det kan vara flera faktorer som influerar deras f?rh?llningss?tt till och resonemang kring frukt och gr?nt.

Bakgrund: Br?st- och ovarialcancer ?r vanliga cancerformer bland kvinnor, d?r en ?rftlig mutation i BRCA1/2-generna ?kar risken f?r insjuknande markant. Profylaktisk kirurgi, som mastektomi och salpingooforektomi, kan minska risken att insjukna med upp till 90 procent. Beslutet att genomg? profylaktisk kirurgi ?r dock komplext och p?verkas av psykosociala, fysiska och etiska aspekter. Kvinnor st?lls inf?r sv?ra val g?llande fertilitet, identitet och kroppslig integritet.

The thesis has been carried out in cooperation with Master Flow AB, Västervik owned by the EWEBE Group. The company produces and sells hot runner systems that are tailor made for the customers.The problem that MasterFlow AB has encountered is in the construction of complex hot runner systems in SolidWorks. With several different lengths, fronts and endcaps that builds the nozzles of the hot runner systems, is affecting the problems for MasterFlow AB. The purpose of this work is to automate the design of hot runner systems so it does not overload the CAD-system SolidWorks.To gain an understanding of the problem, there have been several studies and observations at the company, where the focus has been on how the work is done with the design of hot runner systems. By using help from the corporate management, enough information has been collected to find a solution to these problems.The implementation of design automation has been based on a flowchart that was created.

På initiativ av Håkan Gerdin påbörjades utvecklingen av ett personaluthyrningsprogram, eftersom han en lång tid saknat ett program med denna specifika inriktning. Detta startade sommaren 2002 genom ett examensarbete med väl genomfört förarbete och utformning av programmets design. Programmet fick även namnet GOE!. Under hösten samma år gjordes ännu ett examensarbete som bestod av att realisera större delen av GOE!. Då det fortfarande saknades funktioner och manual erbjöd jag mig att göra delar av detta arbete som sedan inleddes i början av 2003.

This report describes a project, which was carried out as a final thesis covering 30 ECTS during the final semester of the Master of Science programme Industrial Design. The assignment was issued by Fagerhults Belysning AB in Habo. The assignment was to design a family of products in which LED was to be used as a source of light. The main focus in the initial part of the project was to find a way to design the inside of armature which was suitable for LED technology. An armature, already in the range of products at Fagerhult, with the desired qualities that was to be strived after was the Zintra. The lighting source of the Zintra is a compact fluorescent lamp.

The purpose of this thesis was to examine if there where fallacies in the design solutions for the business system IFS Applications from a user perspective, and if so, correct these from a cognitive science approach.Data collection consisted of three main portions. These where; workshop, individual interviews and observations. The collected data was analyzed and resulted in identification of two main areas in the application that where found lacking.The result of the study showed that the usability for processing large amounts of data and the lack of customization where the main flaws in the application. Two low fidelity prototypes where created with the purpose of rectifying the underlying flawed design solutions that where identified from the collected data..
