    Balanced Scorecard i Karlstads kommun - en studie om medarbetarnas syn på viktiga framgångsfaktorer2001Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (One Year))Student thesis
    Abstract [en]

    The traditional business activity has lately been more and more questioned. The criticism towards the traditional activity has concerned the lack of resolution and also the incomprehension among employees in the organization. These are some of the reasons for the development of Balanced Scorecard. Even if Balanced Scorecard originally was developed for the private economy, it will work as well as or perhaps even better for a public economy. This, because several corporations in the public sector are non-profit-organizations, and thereby in greater need of non-financial measurements. Recently, The Public Health Service Administration in Karlstad decided to implement Balanced Scorecard. As a result of this, a committee consisting of unit managers, area managers, controllers, human resource managers, and politicians has been assigned to create a Balanced Scorecard that later will be implemented and executed in the Public Administration. The primarily essence of this essay is to examine the employee’s view of important critical success factors in a Balanced Scorecard. Secondly, we are examining the Unit managers’ purpose of using a Balanced Scorecard, and also how they are planning to implement it. We have chiefly used the method Grounded Theory, which means that we first gathered empirical data followed by collecting relevant theory. The theoretical framework consists of theories of Balanced Scorecard as well as dialogue. Theories collected after the empirical data are presented in the empirical- and analyzing chapter. These theories together with theories from our theoretical framework are used in an analyzing purpose. It emerged seven categories from our empirical material using the method Grounded Theory. Five of these (relations, stability, motivation, competence and occupational identity) constituted the ground for the seven critical success factors that we created. (Dialogue between employees, Realistic customer expectations, Information and anchoring at organizational change, Low turnovers, Incitement, Internal education, and Career advice) The two remaining categories (Objectives and Business activity) were rather indications of that Balanced Scorecard could be a better model for The Public Health Service Administration than categories from which key success factors could be created. The Unit managers’ purpose of Balanced Scorecard was among others to get an overall view of the organization and also visualize other values than financial. Regarding the implementation and introduction of the Balanced Scorecard, emphasis was put on the meaning of the dialogue.

    Genom kroppen förändras tanken: FMT-metodens möjligheter att påverka i mentalt förändringsarbete2010Independent thesis Basic level (university diploma), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    I detta examensarbete beskriver jag FMT-metoden, samt ger en kortare fördjupning i musikterapins historia. Arbetet innehåller också en kort presentation av nervsystemet och dess beslutsfattande delar. När tankar fastnar i samma spår, kan det hjälpa att försöka flytta fokus för att de ska finna nya vägar Jag belyser möjligheten att genom FMT – Funktionsinriktad Musikterapi, komma åt, samt påverka en förändring av tankar och förhållningsätt, så att det utifrån dem blir möjligt att ta nya beslut om hur man vill hantera sin tillvaro. Genom fallbeskrivningar med två personer som jag arbetat med, visar jag på möjligheten att fokusera på den egna kroppen, för att på så vis komma åt tankar och känslor så att en mental förändring kan uppstå. Resultatet visar att då kroppen bearbetas med hjälp av FMT, har både känsla och tanke berörts och förändrats.

    The effects of customer moods on value co-creation practises: A study based on student’s experiences from a restaurant setting2019Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    In the service industry, value creation has emerged from being something where service providers are the sole creators of value, into something where customers are equal creators of value. Nowadays it is seen as value co-creation between the two parties. Authors Echeverri & Skålén (2011) identified five value co-creation practises in the public transportation industry between customer and supplier. The findings of Luong (2005) suggest that a service providers actions have an influence on the customers mood. No previous research has been conducted into how a customer’s mood affects value co-creation, and more specifically the value co-creation practises identified. These identified practises in relation to customer mood were researched upon in a restaurant setting through a qualitative study with semi-structured interviews. The research was conducted with 10 different respondents and the purpose was to find out whether differences in customer moods affected the value being co-created between customer and supplier/service personnel. It was found out that customers in a positive mood, more easily ignored smaller service complications which made value co-creation opportunities harder to identify. Customers in a negative mood made it easier for service personnel to identify poorly performed touchpoints in the value co-creation practises between the supplier and customer due to a more reactive behaviour that indicated that they were dissatisfied. Further findings states that different value co-creation practises could produce more co-created value than others. This was found out when comparing the results of each practise and mood.

    Den perfekta motivationen?: En studie om att påverka ideella arbetares motivation2014Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (One Year)), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    Denna studies syfte är att undersöka de faktorer som motiverar ideella arbetare i evenemangsprojekt samt hur projektledare resonerar och reflekterar kring att motivera ideella arbetare. Studien ämnar att ta reda på hur projektledare från fyra olika evenemangsprojekt gör för att motivera ideella arbetare. Resultatet kan bidra till att framtida projektledare får tips kring vilka verktyg de kan använda för att skapa motivation hos sina ideella arbetare.

    Studiens huvudfrågor med tillhörande underfrågor är:

    • Hur agerar projektledare för att skapa motivation hos de som arbetar ideellt i evenemangsprojekt?

    - Vilka delar i projektledarens agerande är de mest framgångsrika gällande att skapa motivation?

    • Hur tänker projektledare kring motivation hos ideella arbetare?

    - Vad motiverar ideella arbetare i evenemangsprojekt?

    Resultaten i studien kommer från den kvalitativa metoden informant- och respondentintervju. Intervjuerna hålls med fyra olika projektledare, en från varje organisation samt två ideella arbetare från varje organisation. Dessa resultat analyseras sedan med hjälp av teorier kring motivation och ledarskap från bland andra Maslow, Herzberg och Deci och Ryan. I slutet på uppsatsen sammanställs resultat och analys till en lista på nio konkreta råd för hur framtida projektledare kan agera för att skapa och behålla motivation hos ideella arbetare.

    Studien visar bland annat att ideella arbetare främst motiveras utav inre motivation när de söker sig till ett ideellt arbete. Men att de under projektet kan variera mellan både yttre och inre motivation och att motivationen är påverkbar från ledarens sida. Ledaren kan bland annat motivera de ideella arbetarna genom att vara närvarande i arbetsuppgifterna och genom att skapa en personlig relation till sina ideella arbetare. Andra sätt att motivera sina ideella arbetare kan vara att skapa en sammanhållning i projektgruppen, genom att situationsanpassa sitt ledarskap och genom att vara tydlig när det gäller information och projektets mål.

    Riskhantering i evenemangsprojekt: Wooops!2014Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (One Year)), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    This study was aimed to find answers how the event industry is working with risk management and which secondary effects risk management generates. The study was also aimed to find answers whether the event managers think risk management is profitable. The reason we decided to study this subject is because the event industry is one of the largest growing markets. Event of different category attracts a lot of people and the risks increases when masses gather at the same spot. Theory and previous research shows that not every event project implements an appropriate risk management, even though risks are many and its consequences can be devastating.

    We have done qualitative interviews with persons working with event projects to get a perception of how they work and their opinion of risk management. We have concluded that the studied event firms are working with risk management in every event projects but generally event managers use different risk management techniques. The study revealed that all the studied event firms focus on security during event projects implementation, rather than risk affecting the projects planning phase. Secondary effects of risk management are many and a recurrent effect is the awareness among project staff. All the informants are convinced that risk management always is profitable.

    AbstractPresentation of the problem: The goal with this graduation project is to produce a new visual concept for the student newspaper Campus, this will be expressed in the form of page templates. The page templates will have a visual concept that appears through graphical elements. The client's wishes were that the student newspaper should be audience appropriate, attractive, inviting, reliable, modern and functional to work with.Theory: In order to implement the wishes and in a good way produce a consistent visual concept, we took a starting point in theory of graphic design. This theory has taken many of its principles from aesthetic theory, and therefore have we also used aesthetics to provide a deeper theoretical aspect. The principles we used in graphic design is; how to create a unity in the layout by using basic elements such as text, images, and white space. We have also looked at alignment-, form-, color-, contrast-, typography- and placement principles. The principles we have applied from aesthetics are color repetition, color contrasts, balance, visual harmony and depth.Method: The empirical studies consisted of a qualitative content analysis of student newspapers, followed by a focus-group study with respondents from the Campus newspaper target group. The purpose of the two studies was to, via a content analysis, get a general picture of the design language that is used on the market today. This, combined with theory, helped us to create a visual expression that stands outside the general form. It was done in four different dummies, these dummies were discussed by the focus-group.Results: Our first empirical study showed how student newspapers are designed today. With support of theory, the functioning principles was sorted out and used in the four dummies. During the focus-group analysis, opinions about the dummies were presented. We could therefore see what the respondents wanted in the page templates. Together with the client's wishes and analysis from the empirical studies, a new concept developed. It will be perceived as clean and structured together with attitude.

    Gröna tak - potentialen för dagvattenreglering i Karlstad: Simuleringar i Mike Urban2015Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (Two Years)), 20 credits / 30 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    As urban areas become more populated and denser, stormwater management becomes an important matter. Since natural areas are becoming exploited and green areas in cities are removed the stormwater flow increases due to the conversion of impermeable surfaces into hard surface areas. The increase in stormwater flow can cause flooding if the pipeline system is insufficient.

    Change in climate caused by anthropogenic emissions will expose our communities to difficult challenges. Urban flooding from sewers is one of them, and may become more frequent in parts of the world where precipitation is predicted to increase in the future. In order to develop our cities in a sustainable manner and create resilience, the urban drainage system has to be a part of this development. Many of the techniques related to sustainable urban drainage systems, like storage reservoirs and open channels, require access to land space. However, about 40-50 % of the impermeable surfaces in cities consist of roof. Consequently, an interesting alternative to decrease stormwater flow is green roof due to its ability to reduce and attenuate the flow.

    The aim of this thesis is to demonstrate the benefits of green roof’s stormwater management through simulations in Mike Urban. The simulations are made over two neighborhoods in Karlstad with future climate changes. The simulations indicated that green roof in these neighborhoods show good potential to lower the risk of flooding and the numbers of flooded wells by a 10- and 2-year rain is decreased by 42 and 58 %.

    Abstract [en]

    The purpose of this essay is to examine how teachers can develop motivation within upper secondary students for reading comprehension in the school subject of Swedish. Some aspects are examined in relation to the purpose of this essay such as both of the target groups’ attitudes and views towards reading comprehension, reading and motivation as well as similarities and differences between them. This essay also shows what kind of reading habits upper secondary students and Swedish teachers have in and outside of upper secondary school. Gender is an underlying factor that is examined in relation to the previously mentioned target groups. Two surveys were handed out to upper secondary students and Swedish teachers. They had to reply qualitative and quantitative questions with a focus on motivation in relation to reading comprehension based on different perspectives. The result showed that there are different ways, such as literary variation and an engaging approach, teachers can use to develop motivation within upper secondary students for reading comprehension in the school subject of Swedish. Both of the target groups believe that an active participation amongst each other in the classroom is important in order to express motivation towards reading comprehension and reading. The majority of them has a positive attitude towards both of the areas with the opinion that it is important to read and understand different texts because as a reader you receive new thoughts and perspectives as well as an increased vocabulary. Furthermore, upper secondary students and Swedish teachers have different views on how they experience and if they are motivated towards areas in the school subject of Swedish that involves reading comprehension and reading. One example is that both of the areas are important in order for students to develop positively for their future working life or future studies. The majority of both target groups are also able to see the positive sides of reading comprehension and reading despite varied reading habits in and outside upper secondary school, such as the fact that students prefer young adult literature while teachers enjoy non-fiction.

    Abstract [en]

    The purpose with this essay is to, based on different examples of youth language, examine upper secondary students’ and Swedish teachers’ attitudes to and usage of youth language in and outside upper secondary school with a focus on oral language production in the school subject of Swedish. This essay will also focus on if and how upper secondary students’ accomplishments in the school subject of Swedish are affected by their usage of youth language as well as what kind of view that upper secondary students and Swedish teachers have about this and about the opposite group’s usage of youth language. Two underlying factors, as in gender and age, will also be examined in relation to the previously mentioned target groups. Two surveys were handed out to upper secondary students and Swedish teachers. They got to answer qualitative and quantitative questions about attitudes to and usage of youth language. The result showed that upper secondary students use youth language more than Swedish teachers, both in and outside upper secondary school, for example through slang, curse words and discourse markers. Both of the target groups have different attitudes to youth language where Swedish teachers consider that it is limited while upper secondary students believe that it creates solidarity. Swedish teachers and upper secondary students also have different opinions about the fact that students’ usage of youth language might affect their accomplishments in the school subject of Swedish. However, the majority of both target groups believe that it has a negative influence. There are also similarities and differences between both target groups’ views on the counterpart’s usage of youth language. For example, the Swedish teachers believe that youth language can be innovative while upper secondary students express that it is embarrassing if their teachers try to use youth language in the classroom.

    "Unga män som bryter mönstret": "Young Men who Break the Standard"2009Independent thesis Basic level (professional degree), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    This study is about the project Sharaf’s heroes, which aims to change - the attitudes of young men with roots in honour culture. A qualitative method has been used, with four interviews with men who work within the organization. The aim of the study has been to increase the understanding of how work against honour related violence and oppressions can be dealt with, in order to decrease it. The focus in this study lies on the young men's own view on and experiences of honour culture and their work with the project Sharaf’s heroes. Our issues are as follows: What are Sharaf’s heroes and what is the purpose of the project? Which methods are used in their work? Which problems and obstacles will it be with the work in the project and which result has the project given so far? What does an honour culture consist of and what kinds of problems does it cause? Which role has young men living in honour culture and how can they work in order to change it?

     

    Our result shows that the project’s purpose of the project is that it will work as an aid organization in order to prevent and to change attitudes. Additionally, it will function as a knowledge bank for different authorities when it comes to honour related violence. The main method in the project is the dialogue group, where the work starts from underneath through the young generation's men. The result that the project has given so far shows that when the dialogue between children and parents start, a process begins which leads to change the current prevailing attitudes. The problems with the work in the project are above all that there is a lack of cooperation within the authorities, and that authority’s knowledge about honour related problems is inadequate.

     

    Keywords; Honour, Young men’s role, Sharaf’s heroes, Honour related violence and oppression, Socialization, Familystructure.

    Sambandet mellan fysisk aktivitet och studieresultat - en studie i år 9 i fyra skolor2002Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor)Student thesis
    Abstract [en]

    The idea for the research originated from our interest in physical activity. When we read Svensk idrottsforskning nr 2, 2001 we became more interested in the subject and decided to conduct a research. The study deals with physical activity and its relation to study results. This subject is interesting subject because there are not many studies made in this field. We thought that it would be interesting to investigate if there is a relation between being physical active and performing well in school. The purpose is to study how students in the ninth grade exercise in their leisure time and its relation to their grades. The questioning is based upon three questions: How many students in the ninth grade are exercising regularly? Is there a relation between youths exercising habits and their grades in school? Is there a difference between physically highly active students and how they plan their study time compared to physically medium and low active students? We used a survey investigation with the help of questionnaires. We chose this method because of the time-consuming perspective and since we compared the students grades we wanted them to be as anonymous as possible. We also wanted a large sample and therefore we thought a questionnaire method was best suited for our research. The research shows that a large majority of the students in the ninth grade are exercising regularly. 78% of the students are claiming that they are participating in some form of exercise every week. Our study also shows a certain relation between exercising regularly and the grades of the students. We don’t claim that exercising regularly automatically leads to good grades, but the results indicate that exercising regularly doesn’t deteriorate the study results. We believe that students who are exercising regularly and are interested in schoolwork have the greatest potential to achieve good study results. Science has showed that youths that exercise regularly are better at planning their study time. A study performed by Jonsson from 1986 showed that twice as many youths who exercised regularly also prepared themselves one week before a test compared to the none actives. Our study also shows that youths that exercise regularly are better at planning their study time. Therefore we believe that students who exercise regularly generally are better at planning their study time.

    Användbarhet vid design av grafiska gränssnitt på webbhandelssajter - en studie av de största svenska sajterna med skivförsäljning.2000Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor)Student thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    Handeln på Internet har ökat kraftigt den senaste tiden och försäljningen är särskilt stor för skivor. Syftet med uppsatsen är att utifrån studerade teorier utreda användbarhet, samt användandet av text och färger på tre webbhandelssajter på Internet. Tanken är att ta reda på vad en webbdesigner bör tänka på i sitt arbete med att designa en webbsajt. Vi har valt att undersöka de tre största webbhandelssajterna inom skivbranschen, vilka är Boxman, CDON och Ginza. En förutsättning för att kunna arbeta med att utveckla användarvänliga system är att man måste förstå hur människor tänker och agerar, samt hur man tar till sig kunskap och information. En mycket viktig del att beakta vid design av grafiska gränssnitt och dess användarvänlighet är kognitionsteorin. Den beskriver hur människor uppfattar sin omvärld och tillämpar kunskap om den. Användarvänlighet är ett uttryck som används på flera olika sätt och innefattar ett antal olika aspekter. Det är dock knappast ett mål i sig att ett system skall vara vänligt. Därför talar man allt oftare om att ett system skall vara användbart, d.v.s. användbarhet. Då man talar om gränssnitt talar man om kommunikationen mellan två system. Användargränssnitt är kommunikationen mellan datorn och användaren och är systemets ansikte utåt. Det bör vara tilltalande för de tänkta användarna. Användargränssnittet skall vara den medhjälpare användaren nyttjar för att se vilka möjligheter systemet ger honom. En viktig sak är att inte överarbeta gränssnittet. Det finns många dåliga exempel på detta på Internet då vissa sajter skall vara häftiga, men i stället ger ett överflöd av färger, bilder, ljud och specialeffekter. När vi undersökte sajternas användbarhet valde vi att dels följa REAL-modellen, dels Nielsens tio tumregler. Anledningen till att dessa två modeller valdes är att vi anser dessa väl täcka området användbarhet. Efter att fördjupat oss i litteraturen inom grafisk design, har vi valt de områden vi själva anser viktiga att utreda. Efter en genomarbetad analys har vi kommit fram till att Boxmans sajt bl.a. ger ett rent och snyggt intryck med mycket bra kontraster över lag. Ett fåtal färger används vilket också bidrar till detta. CDONs sajt anser vi vara rörig och den känns något hoptryckt. Problemet skulle till stor del kunna lösas om sajten designades så att full skärmbredd utnyttjas. Kontrasten är på flera ställen dålig eller mycket dålig vilket är något deras designer borde ändra på. Ginza har lyckats få en bra sajt på de flesta plan. Den är trevligt designad med mycket luft mellan olika delar och är på så sätt bra grupperad. Detta har möjliggjorts bl.a. av att full skärmbredd utnyttjas.

    Abstract [en]

    The purpose of the study is to examine how teachers at secondary school work with book reviews in their teaching, what they consider the intent of book reviews to be and what methods they consider to be favourable in the work. This is a qualitative study in which semi-structured interviews have been conducted with eight teachers to demonstrate similarities and differences between their different approaches and mindset. After the interviews have been transcribed, they are analysed on the basis of a thematic analysis.The results show that the teachers have a predominantly positive attitude towards book reviews. However, there is an ambiguity among them, while they consider that book reviews are a favourably element that can include several important knowledge development elements, they also consider that the element should not take up too much space in the teaching as there are other things that need more space. The idea of book reviews does not seem to be to develop students' knowledge of book reviewing as a genre, however they are used more as an implement to verify students' reading comprehension and other abilities. The results also show that specific methods are in fact barely used in the writing on book reviews because the intention is more of a controlling nature than developing students' genre knowledge.

    Att behandla kommunala demokratifrågor med användning av IT2003Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (One Year))Student thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    Uppsatsen behandlar aspekter på hur informationsteknologi kan stödja den svenska kommunala demokratin och hur den kommunala demokratin kan utvecklas med användning av informationsteknologi. För att intressera medborgarna för politik och öka valdeltagandet behövs en vitalisering av demokratin. Tanken är att med användning av elektronisk demokrati (e-demokrati) kan medborgarna blir mer delaktiga i demokratiprocessen. Problemfrågan för uppsatsen har varit hur Karlstads kommunpolitiker uppfattar att använda IT till att behandla kommunala demokratifrågor. Sammanfattningsvis var studien att granska hanteringen av Karlstads kommunala demokratifrågor med användning av IT samt hur Karlstadspolitiker uppfattade begreppen demokrati, IT och e-demokrati. Min studie är kvalitativ där en induktiv ansats och en fenomenografisk metod har använts. I min studie har jag intervjuat sju utvalda politiker i kommunstyrelse och kommunfullmäktige i Karlstad. Kalix kommun tillämpar direktdemokrati vilket betyder att de har genomfört två e-rådslag där medborgarna bl.a. kunde rösta via Internet. Kalix kommuns e-demokratiutveckling visade att medborgarnas intresse ökade för samhällsfrågor och att delta i val. Uppsatsens syfte har varit att beskriva hur politikerna i kommunfullmäktige och kommunstyrelse i Karlstad uppfattar hur IT kan användas till att behandla kommunala demokratifrågor samt hur IT kan öka kontakten och kommunikationen mellan medborgare och politiker så att intresset för politik ökar. Jag har även sammanställt Kalix kommuns genomförda e-demokratiutveckling. Slutsatser av studien visar att politiker anser att demokratistödjande aspekter behövs med en öppenhet och enkelhet i systemen, att skapa forum för medborgarna och att ge information om vad som händer i kommunen. Av de sju intervjuade politikerna i Karlstad är flertalet positiva till e-demokrati. Samtidigt framkom att det även finns ett motstånd till IT och att datormognaden är skiftande bland politikerna. Det har också varit representanter från Kalix kommun i Karlstad och delgett dem sina erfarenheter av e-projekten som kan vara en bra referens att tillgå vid en eventuell e-demokratiutveckling i Karlstads kommun.

    Kvalitetsbeslut och konsekvenser vid förändringar - med inriktning på programutveckling vid Ericsson Infotech AB2002Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor)Student thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    Vi har valt att inrikta vårt examensarbete på utvecklingsprocesser vid framtagandet av nya produkter inom IT/telekom-branschen. Examensarbetet utfördes på Ericsson Infotech AB i Karlstad, avdelning P. Ericsson Infotech är ett företag i Ericssonkoncernen, som bl.a. utvecklar programvaror för mobila och fasta telefonnät. Företaget är uppdelat i avdelningar som har sitt eget utvecklingsområde. Avdelning P arbetar för tillfället med att utveckla system för 3:e generationens(3G) mobila och fasta nät. 3G innebär t.ex. mobilt multimedia, personliga tjänster, ett samspel av digitalisering, mobilitet och Internet samt nya teknologier baserade på globala standarder. Utvecklingsarbetet med programvaran eller produkten förekom i projektform och i olika faser med många människor inblandade. Företaget använde PROPS, som är en allmän modell för projekthantering och även RUP, som är en metod vid mjukvaruutveckling. Ericsson Infotech AB önskade en undersökning hur utvecklingsarbetets faser påverkades vid förändringar i utvecklingsprocessen, med inriktning på förseningar. All program- och produktutveckling innehåller ett antal faser som inleder eller avslutar ett nytt skede i arbetet. Bakomliggande orsaker och konsekvenser av en förändring undersöktes. Företaget behövde även en granskning av beslutsfattandet när det gällde produktkvalitet. På avdelningen fanns olika meningar om vem som var ansvarig för kvalitén samt vem som fastställde kvalitetsstämpeln på produkten. Resultatet av examensarbetet visade att en vanlig orsak till förändring var att kundens krav på t.ex. funktionalitet ändrades under projektets gång. Konsekvensen blev en försening, som i sin tur ledde till att tidsplanen försköts och krockade med andra projekt som var inplanerade längre fram. Ansvarsfrågan för produktkvalitén, alltså vem sätter kvalitetsstämpeln på produkten, hade avdelningschefen som bar det yttersta ansvaret. Det framkom även att det är angeläget att skilja på kvalitet inom olika områden såsom produkt, projekt, support och organisation. En annan viktig aspekt var att det tydligt framträder vem som har ansvaret för respektive område. Till grund för arbetet ligger olika undersökningsmetoder där underlag har hämtats från både litteratur och emperi. De metoder som har använts är muntliga intervjuer, direkta observationer, deltagande observationer samt litteraturstudier.

    Connected Vehicles in Cellular Networks: Multi-access versus Single-access Performance2018In: 2018 NETWORK TRAFFIC MEASUREMENT AND ANALYSIS CONFERENCE (TMA), IEEE, 2018Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Connected vehicles can make roads traffic safer and more efficient, but require the mobile networks to handle time-critical applications. Using the MONROE mobile broadband measurement testbed we conduct a multi-access measurement study on buses. The objective is to understand what network performance connected vehicles can expect in today's mobile networks, in terms of transaction times and availability. The goal is also to understand to what extent access to several operators in parallel can improve communication performance. In our measurement experiments we repeatedly transfer warning messages from moving buses to a stationary server. We triplicate the messages and always perform three transactions in parallel over three different cellular operators. This creates a dataset with which we can compare the operators in an objective way and with which we can study the potential for multi-access. In this paper we use the triple-access dataset to evaluate single-access selection strategies, where one operator is chosen for each transaction. We show that if we have access to three operators and for each transaction choose the operator with best access technology and best signal quality then we can significantly improve availability and transaction times compared to the individual operators. The median transaction time improves with 6% compared to the best single operator and with 61% compared to the worst single operator. The 90-percentile transaction time improves with 23% compared to the best single operator and with 65% compared to the worst single operator.

    Utbrändhet bland lärare - en undersökning av lärares upplevelser av utbrändhet2003Independent thesis Basic level (professional degree)Student thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    Syftet med detta arbete är att få reda på de bakomliggande orsakerna till utbrändhet och få kunskaper om hur de kan behandlas och förebyggas. Vårt intresse för ämnet har uppkommit i samband med praktik och att det är ett aktuellt ämne inom media. Rapporten beskriver fenomenet utbrändhet utifrån följande frågeställning: - Vilka faktorer kan utlösa utbrändhet hos lärare och hur kan dessa förebyggas och behandlas? Denna frågeställning har vi brutit ner till några mer precisa frågor. - Vad är uppkomsten?_x000B_ Hur kan det förebyggas? - Hur kan det behandlas? För att få svar på våra frågor har vi sökt information i litteratur samt intervjuat fem grundskollärare som samtliga har fått diagnosen utbrändhet eller utmattningsdepression. Resultatet av litteraturgenomgången har visat att orsaken ligger på flera nivåer. Nivåerna vi valt att studera är individ, skola och samhällsnivå. Vi vill undersöka hur man på dessa olika nivåer hittar metoder som kan förebygga utbrändhet, samt hitta behandlingssätt så att de drabbade kan återvända till skolan. Vår slutsats är att orsakerna till utbrändhet är komplexa, de förebyggande åtgärderna knappa och behandlingsmöjligheterna marginella.

    Elizabeth Bennet's Intelligence: A Reading of Class and Gender Conventions And Transgressions in Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice2015Independent thesis Basic level (professional degree), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    In Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, gender roles and gender expectations relate to class differences in a system of social convention which operates to delimit all of the characters - men and women, rich people and less privileged people - to a greater or lesser extent, in a way which reflects actual class and gender structures in England around 1800. The most important strain of social commentary on gender and class in the novel is constituted by the characterisation of Elizabeth Bennet. She is associated with intelligence in a way which is vital to her successful breach of gender and class conventions. This essay starts out from Susan Morgan’s ”Intelligence in Pride and Prejudice” and will extend her arguments in my reading of the novel to prove that Elizabeth’s intelligence allows her to transgress social conventions related to gender and class more successfully than other characters and arrive at a happy ending despite having defied social convention. A number of other characters also represent a breach of class and gender conventions. Lydia Bennet elopes with Mr. Wickham, which at the time was considered scandalous. Mr. Darcy tries to ignore his affection for Elizabeth but fails to do so. In comparison to the unconventionality of Elizabeth, who manages to overcome every obstacle by relying on her intelligence in a way which also benefits Darcy and secures a happy ending for him as well, their transgressions are not as successful.

    ”Det finns många viljor som vill dra dem åt olika håll”: En kvalitativ undersökning av samhällskunskapslärares uppfattning av det medborgarbildande uppdraget och didaktiska reflektioner2022Independent thesis Advanced level (professional degree), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    Denna kvalitativa studie syftar till att undersöka hur samhällskunskapslärare uppfattar och tolkar det medborgarbildande uppdraget i Sverige samt hur de tar sig an och implementerar politiska kontroversiella samhällsfrågor i undervisningen, som ett led i ämnesdidaktiska överväganden.

    Det teoretiska ramverk som ligger till grund för denna studie utgår från att lärares didaktiska reflektioner och överväganden grundas på hur de tolkar sitt undervisningsämne och att det är en ständigt pågående och cirkulär process. Vidare har även Mouffes definition av politik samt Hess definition av kontroversiella samhällsfrågor använts för att både avgränsa och synliggöra att det krävs diskussion och motsättningar för att utveckla demokratin.

    Åtta samhällskunskapslärare har deltagit via semistrukturerade intervjuer och deras utsagor har bearbetats och analyserats genom tematisering. Studiens resultat visade att det medborgarbildande uppdraget tolkades som en viktig förberedelse för eleverna men visade även att det fanns skillnader mellan lärarnas förväntningar. De deltagande lärarna beskrev att samhällets komplexitet och motsättningar behöver förstås och att eleverna behöver möta detta genom diskussion och samtal för att mejsla fram väl genomtänkta och övervägda ställningstaganden, vilka blir till verktyg för att både värna om och utveckla demokratin.

    Abstract [en]

    The aim of this qualitative study is to examine how teachers comprehend and interpret the subject of Religious Studies in Sweden; and how these interpretations manifest themselves practically in their teachings.

    The theoretical framework of the subject Religious Studies can be perceived and interpreted in different ways. This interpretation, as well as its practical implementation, is a process that is largely determined by a teacher’s knowledge of: pedagogical content knowledge, subject matter knowledge and curricular knowledge. The examination is based on eight semi-struc-tured interviews with Religious Studies teachers. Perceptions and methods were explored with each of them, the output of which has been analysed and themed.

    The result of the study clearly demonstrated that the main purpose of Religious Studies teaching was to increase the acceptance and tolerance of its students. It also revealed that due to the breadth and complexity of subject matter, the practical implementation of their teaching approaches varied significantly. Furthermore, its effectiveness is not only influence by the teaching approach itself, but also by individual’s own personal development.

    Abstract [en]

    In this report I present the results of an investigation into the problems concerning pupils with concentrationdifficulties. Interviews with teachers from primary and middle school show that visionary ideas and their practical implementation are fundamentally different things. The point of this investigation is to gain increased knowledge by interviewing a few teachers about concentration problems in students. The investigation has also been done with an aim to start a debate on these problems. Schools must be better prepared to admit pupils with these problems and my conclusion is that a substantial increase of instruction is needed to enable the teachers to cope with the practical and pedagogical needs of these pupils. There must also be an ongoing discussion at the schools about the practical teaching of these pupils, through exchange of experience and good examples so that we don’t unnecessarily have to make the same mistakes all over again.

    Abstract [en]

    The consumption of alcohol in Sweden has increased considerably within recent years. Among youths there has been a tendency towards drinking more frequently and increased volumes. Alcohol habits among students on the high schools auto mechanic line has been given a questionnaire to examine their experience of the immediate after effect of alcohol and how et effects their situation in school. It has been proven that participating students are drinking alcohol more frequently than the average among Swedish high school students and girls more often than boys. The general experiences of alcohol after effect are predominantly negative both physically and psychologically, but the students are not concerned of their alcohol habits having an effect on their school work.

    Skapar gymnasielärare trygghet för eleverna i klassrummet?: En studie kring lärarens påverkan av trygghet i klassrummet2012Independent thesis Basic level (professional degree), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    Mitt syfte är att visa att känslan av trygghet spelar större roll för undervisningsklimatet i klassrummet än disciplin. Vi bombarderas dagligen i media från olika tyckare som har åsikter om hur skolan skall skötas för att den ska bli bättre och hur misskött den är nu idag. Det är nästintill omöjligt att sålla i det stora informationsflödet och avgöra vad som är relevant för att ge eleverna bästa möjliga inlärningsklimat i skolan. Kan det vara så att en skola som ger eleverna en känsla av trygghet är den som ger bästa inlärningsklimatet? Genom att besöka några klassrum, studera hur lektionerna fungerade i verkligheten och sedan intervjua de berörda lärarna om deras syn på trygghet i klassrummet, fick jag bekräftelse på att så kunde vara fallet. Tyvärr är det så att disciplin är lättare att skapa än trygghet men då kan undervisningsklimatet bli lidande. Att ha en trygg miljö är ett bättre sätt att rusta eleverna för att möta den undervisning som de ska klara av under sin skoltid. Dessutom, om en elev har en egen grundtrygghet i sig själv när hon ska möta världen efter skolan så finns det en större chans att ungdomarna klarar sig bra. Utifrån resultat jag fick anser jag att en lärare som funderat på hur man skapar trygghet i klassrummet, arbetar som en demokratisk ledare och involverar eleverna i regelbyggandet och undervisningen, är den lärare som skapar ett bättre studieklimat.

    Abstract [sv]

    Det finns positiva tecken på att något ska hända med arbetslivsforskningens villkor. Mer bekymmersamt är att facket och arbetsgivarna vill återskapa ett nationellt centrum för arbetslivsforskning i Stockholm. Vi bör inte fortsätta att reproducera bilden av att svensk arbetslivsforskning försvann när Arbetslivsinstitutet lades ned. Det finns många starka forskargrupper på universiteten ute i landet. Nu är det viktigt att vi ser till att de positiva signalerna blir verklighet på ett klokt sätt så att bredden i arbetslivsforskningen säkras.

    Artikeln innehåller en diskussion om olika begrepp, synsätt och användning av kunskaper om arbetsmiljö och hur det har förändrats över tid i Sverige. Det gäller exempelvis hur kunskaper om psykosocial arbetsmiljö används för att förstå och diskutera ohälsa, styrning och utveckling – för individer, grupper och organisationer. Artikeln innehåller också reflektioner kring trender, framtid och några (eventuella) tankefällor och/eller språngbrädor i dagens och morgondagens arbetsliv när det gäller arbetsmiljö. Titeln ”Hundra år av långsamhet” markerar en viss otålighet över att förändringstakten och förändringsviljan inte alltid är så hög.

    Energianvändning vid pelletering: En undersökning av strömningsenergins betydelse för den totala energianvändningen vid pelletering2019Independent thesis Basic level (university diploma), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    Biofuels make up 25% of Sweden’s energy supply and the majority of biofuels used are made from wood. Wood pellets is one type of biofuel and in Sweden, 1.6 million tonnes of wood pellets were produced in 2018. Different pellet properties such as durability and energy use for production is often tested in a single pellet press. The total energy use for making a pellet in an industrial scale machine is the sum of the energy required for three different component sequences, compression, friction and flow. Flow is when the material that lies on the surfaces between the press channel openings is compressed and pushed downwards towards the coned openings and the materiel in the coned opening is deformed and pushed down to the press channel.

    Only compression and friction can be studied using a conventional single pellet press. Thus, this study focuses on the impact of the flow component on the total energy use for pelletizing. In order to do this, energy used for compression, friction and flow, as well as the power required for the material to enter the flow component, Fflow, has been studied for three different particle sizes.

    Fresh spruce with a moisture content of 10% has been pressed in different dies. With these pressings, the impact of the flow component, as well as the impact of pressing material located around the coned press channel opening on the total energy use was determined.

    Particle size did not affect energy use. Fflow was higher for pressings with material located on the surface around the coned opening, compared to pressings without. This resulted in an increased compression energy for pressings with material around the coned opening. The material located around the press channel opening affected the pelletizing so that the produced pellet was 1 mm shorter, which resulted in a lower energy use for the friction component. Energy used by the flow component made up over 43-57% of the total energy use. The part of the flow energy that is needed to compress the material around the press channel opening and move that material towards the opening stood for 35-52% of the total energy use for palletization.

    Abstract [en]

    June 1st, 2014, the law on energy audits of large enterprises was introduces as a way of promoting energy efficiency and to help fulfil the demands from the EU energy efficiency directive. One company that this law applies to is Talent Plastics in Gothenburg. In 2017 an energy audit was conducted at the company by WSP in Karlstad. This audit has been used as a basis for this study. The purpose of this study has been to present solutions for reducing the energy use as Talent Plastics in Gothenburg.

    In this study, an energy balance for the facility has been modelled. This model has then been used in order to evaluate some of the different solutions presented in the previous energy audit as well as some new solutions that have been identified.

    The solutions that have been studied are:

    Heat recovery from the process cooling by installing a heating battery in

    ventilation systemsHeat recovery from the process cooling by pre-heating ventilation airUpdating old extruder machinesHeat recovery from the compressed air systemUsing outside air for the compressed air systemUpdate of the existing heat recovery system installed in the production

    ventilation system

    Based on the results presented in this report the system today is inefficient with a large need for heat whilst a lot of energy is cooled through process cooling. The energy balance presented showed a higher use of energy for heating of ventilation air compared to the results presented in the previous energy audit. This is a consequence of the assumptions made when conducting an energy audit. By underestimating the energy need for the heating of ventilation air, the potential energy savings from solutions including heat recovery in the ventilation systems has been underestimated.

    Out of the solutions investigated in this study, updating the heat recovery system in the ventilation system for production spaces resulted in the largest energy savings with savings of 192 MWh per year. The maximum energy savings using heat recovery from the process cooling were 202 MWh/year. This solution had a pay-off time of 0,7 years. The results showed that heat recovery from the compressed air system is not a suitable solution for the facility.

    When combining different solutions updating the existing heat recovery system installed in the production ventilation system combined with pre-heating and installation of a heating battery in the same ventilation system would result in energy savings of 323 MWh per year. This represents 14 % of the total energy use for the facility and savings of 226 thousand Swedish krona per year.

    Abstract [en]

    The purpose of this study is to contribute with an increased knowledge of which quality aspects at different levels can affect children's opportunity for creative development in the preschool studio. The study's empirical data was collected through semi-structured qualitative interviews. The analysis was done according to Wallin's (2023) model of preschool educational environments. The results showed that there are quality aspects in organization, environment, materials, pedagogues' knowledge and in pedagogues' approach that affect children's opportunity for creative development in the preschool's studio. My research contribution is a development of Wallin's (2023) model.
