The aim of this project was to create an interior design for a children?s hospital patient Room with the concept to adapt the Room for the wide target group from 0-18 years of age. The analysis in the project is based on the hospital ward 322 at Drottning Silvias Children?s and Youth Hospital in Gothenburg. It?s an oncology ward where the children are very sensitive for infections and therefore need to be isolated in their Rooms for 3-4 weeks.The main goal for the project was to create a Room that works as a template and gives the people who lives in it the opportunity to create thier own Room based on the personal things they bring into it, and how they decide to furnish and use the Room.The result of the project is a template Room with fixed furniture that can be transformed due to screens in the Room.

The background to this report is based on how architectural art through timesbeen treating daylight with greatest precision to take advantage of its good quality,and how the technical revolution with artificial lighting affects our way of workingwith daylighting today.The purpose of the study is to contribute to the knowledge how the daylightopening affects the perception of a Room. The aim is to clarify how proportionsand placement affects how the incident light occurs in the Room and how thataffects on how the Room is perceived. The study is meant to be used by lightingplanners, and in terms of pleasantness, be able to create the best possible daylightenvironment..

Current research shows that the number of door openings during surgery is unjustifiably high. It is the operating Room nurses task to ensure a hygienic and aseptic environment throughout the surgery with the goal of minimizing the risk of healthcare associated infection. The study aims to investigate whether the operating Room nurse is attentive to the number of door openings during surgery and if the operating Room nurse is attentive to the reasons behind the door openings. A pilot study with nine observations was carried out on two smaller hospitals in the region of Västra Götaland. The results showed a significant underestimation of the rated door openings compared with the actual ones.

This report is founded in lack of knowledge concerning the design and layout procedureduring a new engine Room construction.The prime question is how the engine Room takes its form from idea to construction and whathappens in between. We want to give the reader a better understanding in how the work isdone and why it is designed the way it is concerning layout, ergonomics and safety. Duringthis report we will enhance the knowledge concerning regulations and rules that are of greatsubstance such as SOLAS, Swedish Sjöfartsverket and IMO.By contacting the parties involved in the process in newly designing a vessel and its engineRoom, we will assume their approaches and experiences. We will study the work progressfrom planning to construction of a vessels machinery spaces. We will with the help ofinterviews with interested parties get an idea of the approach and also compare the finishedproduct a bit depending on company size and resources.The investigation resulted in a good basis for how a ship engine Room design takes shape andwhich aspects are taken into account, however, we found that the existing rules concerningengine Room layout was very vague and was seen as the most recommendations.

In this project I have worked with creating a new kind of Room in a hospital enviroment for children. The main purpose of the project has been to form a secure and positive experience for the patient while visiting a specific Room at the department of childrens physiologi, at Drottning Silvias Children- and youth hospital in Gothenburg.The project was based on questions like how it is possible to move the focus from the unsecure and scary, to something secure and positive, when the patient is going through an testing situation.The target gruop included a wide age span (0-16 years old), therefore I have worked with a theme, H2O, that works for diffrent ages. In the Room, I have applicated the theme in different levels that is changeable depending on the age of the patient.During the project I have presented my ideas for the staff at the hospital. We have discussed their problems, what they wish in their working enviroment and how they experience the situation for the patients. I have also asked the patients how they experience the specific Room today.The result of the project is a visual idea of how you can create a Room, that you don?t exepect to find in a hospital..

The objective of this study was to describe and analyze some of the conflicts in the class Room using solution strategies from a human needs perspective. This was done by a qualitative in-vestigation based on the observations of the participants.The query of how every day conflicts arise in the class Room and their reasons.The result was analyzed using reference frame in human needs theory. The results showed that there were several reasons for a conflict and its solution. It was also shown that creating a nice atmosphere in the class Room was a continuous effort and the strategies of the teachers in a conflict situation were different depending on the situation. Human needs theories assists us to analyze and handle conflicts in the class Room..

Introduction: Today caring for newborn, sick babies or premature infants is in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). There is an opportunity in NICUs for advanced critical care and skilled nursing care of the child, conducted by health professionals in an active partnership with parents. To encourage parental participation in the care of their children parents are offered accommodation in a family Room in the NICU. Objective: The aim is to describe parents' experience to stay in a family Room in the NICU when their child is cared for there. Method: This is a research plan for a qualitative study with an inductive, descriptive approach.

In this Bachelor thesis I explore sound and Room as elements in design of user interfaces, both theoretical and practical in a specific application domain, to identify some of the advantages and disadvantage associated with these elements. As application domain I studied email clients and their usage at home amongst students at Blekinge Institute of Technology. In the study I found an activity, which seems to be highly distributed in the physical Room where the user is located. The activity was notification of email and could take place in an arbitrary location of the home. I then augmented this activity with ideas from my theoretical assumption about Room and sound.

This project measures the upper bound of exposure time for laser reflection detection in the software DotDetector. Via measurement of the exposure time for which distortion happens in a Room lit with everyday light we conclude that the upper bound for exposure times are 100 milliseconds. This value does not change as long as the lighting in the Room is the same. As future work this project proposes variable upper bounds depending on secondary lighting in the Room. Also we propose automating the colour masking of the detection algorithm..

The acoustics in a control Room is a complicated phenomenon. Early reflections, reverberation time and area in the Room are some of the problems. This report is about the reflection on the mixing console in a control Room. The control Room being built, these reflections are difficult to take into consideration since the mixing console is one of the very last items you place in the Room. This report will explain three main measurements that were done in order to get the answer to the following question: Does the mixing console interfere the frequency curve at listening position? Three measurements were done and the difference between the measurements was that the microphone and the loudspeakers were placed in different places in the control Room.

The 1st of January 2009 a new goal was set for the emergency care in Stockholms läns landsting. This new goal stated that 70 per cent of the patients shall not spend more than four hours in the hospital when requesting emergency care. The processes in the emergency Room at Södersjukhuset do not cope with this new goal. The authors studied the reasons for this and made suggestions based on the findings. The conclusions were that the emergency Room should place doctors much earlier in the emergency care process or implement a system where specialists act as tutors to non-specialized doctors.

This master thesis covers the design of a special garden Room, The Hardscape Room, in The Rehabilitation Gardens at Alnarp, in southern Sweden, as well as describes the design process. The Rehabilitation Gardens are intended to serve several purposes. It will offer horticultural therapeutic treatment programs for people diagnosed as having had burnout disease for an extended period. Research is also aimed at studying the possible impact of different garden design hypotheses as well as different forms of horticultural therapy. In The Rehabilitation Gardens at Alnarp the most extreme and demanding garden Room focused on cultivation and horticultural therapy is The Hardscape Room.

Captured in the Room of Göran Tunström?s spoken language, fenced behind his barrier of manic words. This essay is about the limit of language and world?s necessity to be spoken to be experience, about telling as a manufacturer of meaning and a subject?s motion between fiction and reality. Based on the novel Skimmer from 1996, my purpose is to identify ?a linguistic Room? in Tunström?s narration and show how this Room is given an existential character by its temporal and spatial dimensions.
