Riksföreningen Aktiva Synskadade har en kursgård i vacker naturmiljö som jag valt att basera examenarbetet på. Syftet är att redovisa ett gestaltningsförslag som använder förutsättningarna för att skapa god hus- och utemiljö för personer med synnedsättning till att skapa god arkitektur för alla. Litteratursökningen tar både upp specifika faktorer såsom orienterbarhet för personer med synnedsättni

I Helsingborg har grannar till ett planerat boende för psykiskt funktionsnedsatta protesterat mot dess etablering. Syftet med denna studie har varit att förstå protesterna och hur grannarna har formulerat dessa. Då protesterna till stor del skedde genom skriftlig kommunikation har jag främst valt att studera mejl och insändare, men jag har även tagit med andra utryck för protesten i analysen. Då j

Stock binds capital and this should be of highest concern for companies to minimize. Therefore it is important to design their reorder points in such way that service levels are met while keeping as low capital as possible. How well do the most common dimensioning methods perform with respect to the capital in safety stock and how the parameter is set in the best-of-breed methods to meet a given s

Utvärdering av ett målprotein för behandling av ledgångsreumatism Reumatisk artrit (RA), eller ledgångsreumatism som det också kallas, är en autoimmun sjukdom som 1% av världens befolkning lider av. Kroppens egna immunceller blir autoreaktiva och attackerar lederna i främst händer och fötter. Den ökade mängden immunceller i de här lederna resulterar i svullnad och inflammation, men även ben och bRheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease resulting in swelling and destruction of bone and cartilage within the small joints. The mechanism behind the disease is not fully understood, but the interaction of autoreactive T-cells with effector cells like B-cells and macrophages through cytokine signaling is believed to be important. A potential target for drug development against arthritis that

The purpose of this study was to illuminate the relation between control and volunta-riness in drug rehabilitation programs, as viewed from the perspective of therapists within two types of programs: The Twelve step program and the Milieu therapy pro-gram. Drug rehabilitation programs in Sweden are mostly based on voluntary partici-pation. However, the actual degree of voluntariness in these progr

Sammanfattning Vi har gjort en kvalitativ studie och intervjuat individer med en tidigare missbruksproblematik och kriminellbakgrund. Alla utom en av intervjupersonerna har deltagit i ett 12-stegsprogram. Det finns hjälp att få som missbrukare genom behandling, men det är ändå inte alla som klarar av att sluta fast den hjälpen finns. Det är viktigt och intressant att undersöka varför det är så. VWe have made a qualitative study that started from interviewees with substance abuse problems. All of the interviewees have a background as criminals and addicts and three of them have participated in twelve-step program. There is treatment that is intended to support and help addicts, but it's still not all that manage to get out of their addiction. That makes it important and interesting to

Abstract Replacing fossil oil with renewable resources perhaps is the most urgent challenge that the human being now is facing. Bioenergy has been considered as one of the best alternatives to fossil oil. Diverse non-edible applications of plant oil have been explored in the chemical industry recent years. However, both quantity and quality need to be improved from different oil crops for diverse

The Archaean Yilgarn craton in Western Australia is a granite greenstone belt with abundant economically important mineral reserves, including several world-class gold deposits such as the giant Kalgoorlie deposit. Structural controls on gold deposition and the fact that most deposits were formed later in the craton’s tectonic history, has resulted in the general acceptance of a late-orogenic str

Increasing awareness and change in attitudes towards environment has given rise to the sustainable development and this development has stimulated environmental innovations globally in the last years. The recent studies show that in near future there will be more packaging solutions from renewable resources. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how a brand owner using renewable packaging m

This master thesis work consists of the development of new hardware and software for the control box of an azimuthal guidance system used by aircrafts during the approach to the runway. The thesis work was done at Safegate International AB as a project running along the usual development projects. When designing electronics to be used on an airfield there are a lot of regulations and standards t

Uppsatsen behandlar rättsfiguren culpa in contrahendo, vårdslöshet i samband med avtalsförhandlingar. Huvudregeln är att parterna förhandlar på egen risk vilket innebär att de inte kan räkna med att få sina förhandlingskostnader ersatta i det fall avtalsförhandlingarna strandar. Culpa in contrahendo utgör ett undantag till denna huvudregel. För att ersättning enligt culpa in contrahendo ska kunn

Reviewing the historical legacy of colonialism and slavery on attitudes about race, gender and citizenship within the United States, this thesis attempts to illuminate three principle archetypes within development discourse: the Brute, the Victim and the Authority. Each of these three discursive threads, deriving from unique historical processes, provides an opposing Other against which US citizen

Syftet med uppsatsen är att utreda vilket rättsligt skydd som finns för en privatanställd som slår larm om missförhållanden hos en arbetsgivare som bedriver offentligt finansierad verksamhet. Syftet är även att utreda hur det rättsliga skyddet skulle kunna stärkas. Skyddet för arbetstagare som slår larm om missförhållanden är komplext och täcker in flera olika bestämmelser, principer och rättsomThe purpose of the thesis is to examine the legal protection of a private sector employee who sounds an alarm about wrongdoings that take place in publicly funded enterprises. The purpose is also to examine how the legal protection could be strengthened. The protection of employees who sounds an alarm about wrongdoings is complex and includes different legal rules, legal principles and areas of la
