The making of a cultural historical exhibition usually involves the collaboration of two categories of professionals: the curator, in charge of the exhibition content, and the designer. From these positions, representing content and form, the team is in charge of cooperating towards a shared goal ? the exhibition ? which is the spatial expression of ideas.This MA thesis is based on my work experience as a designer of cultural historical exhibitions. By means of situations where my perspective collided with that of the museum curators?, I examine our different concepts on a number of issues: the meaning of an exhibition; the process; and the perception of what our respective roles are.

This thesis aims at analyzing why the municipality of Flen, in the eastern part of Sweden, has experienced strong depopulation for the last forty years in spite of its relative vicinity to Stockholm. The study uses current theories on regional developement, population theory and theories on regional enlargment to help explain and to evaluate the different regional factors that affect the developement of Flen on the local level. The thesis is primarily focused on the subject of regional policy and strategies to meet regional depopulation. The study also gives a presentation of the strategies of major regional institutions as well as analyzing what impact regional policy have on local policy in the municipality of Flen.Interviews with local officials, politicians and other people representing the population of Flen were carried out to achieve a better understanding of the specific challenges that the municipality faces and of the measures that are taken to meet them. Regional policy in Sweden prioritises measures that promote regional enlargment to link the housing and labour markets together with the regional infrastructure.

Den här uppsatsen behandlar arbetssituationen för telefonintervjuare på ett marknadsundersökningsföretag, de lägst stående arbetarna i ett hierarkiskt uppbyggt företag.Fokus ligger på arbetarnas reflektioner kring sin arbetssituation och på hur företaget är uppbyggt, den fysiska och sociala miljön. Ambitionen är att få en inblick i hur de anställda upplever sitt arbete samt hur arbetssituationen kan påverka dem som individer. Intresset ligger även i att nå svar på frågor som i hur pass hög grad de anställda känner att de kan påverka sin arbetssituation och hur pass delaktiga de känner sig i arbetsprocessen. Den centrala frågeställningen är: Hur ser arbetssituationen ut och varför ser den ut som den gör? Hur ser arbetarens syn på sin arbetssituation ut och hur kan arbetssituationen på företaget påverka individen?Uppsatsen är kvalitativ till sin natur.

The purpose of this study was to examine how young managers (26-32 years old) in municipal old-age care organizations, in Skåne and Blekinge, experience their professional roles as managers in relation to their age. One of the questions asked in this study was whether managers experienced that their age affected their managerial position, and in that case, how? In order to investigate this, a qualitative method was used, including interviews and observations. Seven interviews with young managers were conducted. My approach in the working process was influenced by Grounded theory as defined by Glaser and Strauss (1968).

Fysisk modell är ett är ett effektivt medel att översätta arkitektoniska koncept till konkret form - både för den egna förståelsen och kommunikation med kollegor, kunder och allmänhet. Modellen är ett av de verktyg som står landskapsarkitekter och arkitekter till hands i gestaltningsprocessen. Inom både svensk utbildnings- och arbetskultur verkar det finnas en syn på modellbygge som tidsödande och svårtillgängligt, trots att dess fördelar ofta diskuteras och tillämpning uppmuntras av både lärare och yrkesverksamma. Parallellt ökar datorgenererade bilder och modeller inom gestaltning och kommunikation, på grund av de senaste decenniernas teknologiska revolution. Syftet med detta arbete var att utforska modellen som skissverktyg och dess konkreta bidrag till en gestaltningsprocess.

Syftet med uppsatsen är att belysa invandrade akademikers svårigheter på den svenska arbetsmarknaden och empirin består av sex intervjuer; varav fem arbetsförmedlare och en introduktionsförmedlare. Frågeställningen lyder: Vilka hinder finns och hur ser situationen ut på den svenska arbetsmarknaden för invandrade akademiker?Jag använder mig av empirin som består av intervjuer och belyser den med teorier, varav den övergripande teoribildningen är Erving Goffmans teori i boken Stigma - Den avvikandes roll och identitet. Bakgrunden till uppsatsen är statistik från integrationsverket som visar på att sysselsättningsgraden för inrikes födda ligger på 75 % medan den för utrikes födda ligger på 59 %. Statistiken visar även att invandrare, även de med akademisk utbildning, ofta hänvisas till vissa branscher, som industri och vårdyrken, och även till lågbetalda arbeten.

A group of two people, Jelena Durkan and Johan von Heideken, have worked together on an assignment from the company August Lundh AB. The company manufactures plastic products for all sizes of catering establishments. The basis for this thesis is a pre-study which shows that many of the users would be more drawn to the plates that the company manufactures, if there was a motif on the plates.This thesis will present the method of application for the motif that best benefits the company, with regard to the requirements placed on the motif, application method and the costs. The group found five relevant methods that were more carefully examined and compared to each other. Those are:Laser engraving, Hot-stamping, Injection molding, In-mould labeling and Pad-printing.The tools that have been used to solve this problem are: Requirement specification, QFD and OEE.

This explorative study focuses on young, university attending males (22-27 years) and their understanding and pratice of the classic tail coat. It is based on five qvalitatively interpreted interwievs with a total of six participants, and through open questions regarding individuality and identicalness, limits and possibilities and inclusion and exclusion, a masculininty of a less contemporary hue takes shape. These conversations have revealed the tail coats potential of respresenting a male stereotype that can set a foundational and minimal standard for inclusion. Above this layer these males can then manifest and negotiate their masculine position in a homosocial hierarchy which decides the amount of passage, privilieges and confirmation of self- worth received for the wearer. These negotiation is performed by value bearing symbols (such as medallions, cordons and the like) allowed by the wearer and by the actions that systematically ensure that the lines of the tail coat are watched and unbroken.

This study was the first part of a larger project investigating a new surveillance method for Echinococcus multilocularis. In this study we examined livers from wild boar (Sus scrofa), looking for lesions caused by E. multilocularis. E. multilocularis is a small tapeworm which has an indirect life cycle.

Studien har genomförts på ett stålföretag som startade friskvårdsprojektet 55+ för anställda som är 55 år eller äldre. Syftet med denna studie är att få en bild över vad äldre anställda har för föreställningar om att arbeta till 65 och diskutera hur friskvårdsprojektet 55+ kan påverka deras förutsättningar att vara kvar i arbete till pensionsålder. I studien användes kvalitativ intervju som metod och undersökningsgruppen bestod av tio anställda på företaget.Förutsättningar som de intervjuade tog upp för att arbeta kvar rörde arbetet, hälsan, tajming med partner och ekonomin och många upplevde att de inte skulle kunna arbeta till 65 som de gör idag. Det fanns en besvikelse över att företaget inte längre erbjöd avtalspension i samma utsträckning som tidigare, eftersom de intervjuade mentalt hade förberett sig inför en pensionärstillvaro. Att de intervjuade från början inte var inställda på att arbeta till 65 kan ha påverkat deras upplevda förutsättningar i arbetet.

We have chosen to write our examination essay about Ukraine, we wanted to find out what kind of possibilities there is to run a farm there, and also find out what kind of problems that might arise. Ukraine is still heavily influenced by Russia and the legacy from the former Soviet Union. The agriculture today looks pretty much like it did before the collapse of the Soviet system. There are large governmental or cooperatively owned farms. The large farms have to deal with bad cash-liquidity and they often have trouble getting a hold of seed and artificial manure to their whole acreage.

The Swedish photographer and artist Eva Klasson, based in Paris in the 1970s, gained attention for her series of black-and-white photography of her own naked body, which opened up for an international artistic career in the late 1970s. Despite a promising career she however abandoned photography and disappeared from the artistic sphere only a few years after her debut. There has been a renewed interest in Klasson?s work in Sweden the last decade where she has been exhibited at museums and galleries. Today she is represented at art museums and institutions including Moderna Museet, The Modern Museum of Art, in Stockholm.
