This report documents the process of designing a laboratory exercise in Fourier analysis at Vetenskapens Hus (House of Science) in Stockholm. The lab is designed for high school students studying science or technical education. It focuses on the physicalunderstanding and mathematical description of sound, in particular music. A model of such a lab is presented in this work; containing a review of the mathematical theory, summary of educational research in the field, descriptions of the design process and of the investigativework that led to the final result. The designed material for the lab includes developed computer programs, visit leader tutorial and description for teachers. .

This work has been done by three development engineers and one computer engineer and in some cooperation with the company Phoniro. This report is written for computer science and is mainly oriented on the programming part in the project. The goal has been to develop a program that ensures the quality of the care that the home care organization delivers. The program is developed for cellphones and is supposed to be used in every visit. Several functions have been developed for the reason of reducing mistakes in patient visits, where the focus was on safe medication.

I allt fr?n kommuners styrande dokument till pedagogiska forum p? n?tet via kommersiella produkter och en uppsj? av studentuppsatser i universitetens databaser upplever vi att intresset f?r anv?ndning av Alternativ och kompletterande kommunikation, AKK, och d? fr?mst visuellt st?d, har ?kat markant de senaste ?ren. AKK har g?tt fr?n att vara ett kommunikations-verktyg fr?mst riktat till enskilda barn med funktionsvariationer till ett kommunikationsverktyg som numera anv?nds alltmer frekvent, som en del i den tydligg?rande l?rmilj?n, framf?r allt i f?rskolan. Samtidigt upplever vi att det saknas forskning om AKK inom det pedagogiska f?ltet och framf?r allt i relation till f?rskolan.

This study examines what effect swimming has on the rehabilitation, compared with only resting after a cranial cruciate ligament surgery. It consists of a literature study, an inquiry study and a visit to a rehabilitation centre. The inquiry study shows that ten weeks after a cranial cruciate ligament repair, the lameness has disappeared in a greater number of dogs among those that undergo swimming as physiotherapy compared with those that do not swim. Literature shows that swimming has a positive effect on the result after surgery. The thigh circumference increases faster, the limb function improves more and the range of motion gets larger. Dogs should therefore be recommended swimming as rehabilitation after surgery for a rupture of the cranial cruciate ligament..
