Projekt Upplärning är en ”avknoppning” av ett litet experiment om  postsorteringen som gjordes i ett inledande skede av samverkan mellan Posten och forskarlaget vid Linköpings universitet.

Till en början tog Jörgen ansvar för en rad delprojekt i Postens projekt Brevbärarnas arbetssituation (BAS) och därefter övertog han samordningsansvaret och projektledarskapet. Sedan kom insatserna att växla mellan mycket arbete med samordningen, och en hel del administrativa uppgifter. Han var också expert i delprojekten, och i den mån det handlade om ständiga förbättringar var han projektmedarbetare. Han var också handledare åt studenterna, koordinator och ”informellt kitt” mellan de sju delprojekten. När det aktuella projektet började hade Jörgen en hel del kunskap om brevbärarnas arbete inom Posten. Som skyddsingenjör inom företagshälsovården på 1970-talet var han engagerad i lantbrevbärarnas arbetssituation och han gjorde också en studie under senare delen av 1990-talet speciellt inriktad på vilka fordon som brevbäraren bör ha vid utdelningsarbetet. Det var ett tredelat projekt där en del utgick från Industriell arbetsvetenskap vid Linköpings universitet, en annan del sköttes av Roger Wibom från Arbetsmiljöinstitutet (se kap. 3) och en tredje del drevs på VTI (Väg- och Trakfikinstitutet). De tre delarna utmynnade i en utvärdering av elfordon för postutbärning (se kap. 3).

I föregående kapitel nämndes Roger Wiboms förslag till Posten att göra ett fullskaligt försök i kontorsmiljö. Syftet skulle vara att kunna jämföra gammal och ny utrustning för belysning och märkning med en metod för en före- och eftermätning. Posten föll för förslaget. Det gällde att hitta en lämplig försöksledare. Valet föll på Hillevi Hemphälä. Hillevi hade viss kännedom om brevbärararbetet. Femton år tidigare hade hon jobbat extra vid Posten i Lund under jultid. Vid tidpunkten för försöket var allt arbete samlat till en enda lokal i Lunds kommun. Hillevi blev försöksledare för det fullskaliga försöket. I detta kapitel ges först en beskrivning hur Hillevi Hemphälä upplevde att leda och genomföra en synergonomisk fältstudie, det fullskaliga försöket, som hade planerats för att undersöka effekterna av ny märkning och ny belysning vid kamfacken på brevbärarnas arbetsplatser. Därefter följer ett utdrag ur den forskningsrapportering som blev resultatet.

The coastal areas of Sweden have, during various parts of history, played a significant role in the economic and social development of the country. During this century the coastal areas have emerged as more and more attractive to different interested parties. For many people the non-urban coastal areas have gained importance as leisure time and holiday landscapes. The central authorities have perceived new values that society should gain control over and utilize, amongst other things in the form of areas for the public's outdoor recreational activities and for tourism, zones of establishment for industries and tracts of nature to be shown off as "national jewels" in international environmental contexts. This study aims at analysing how different areas of interest have focused on the Swedish coastal landscape and its coastal areas during the 20th century, which actors and outlooksthat have thereby set the tone, as well as how conflicts of interest have misen and been handled. The study can be regarded as an effort to increase knowledge about the causes and driving forces behind today's utilization, preservation and protection of the Swedish coastal landscape. At a national level interests are most frequentlyformulated from urban outlooks which, for example, the question of beach protection and the Riparian Law distinctly shows. The Riparian Law was introduced in 1950 and tbereby priority was given to the publics' recreational activities, ahead of other utilization interests in the country's coastal areas. At the local level the patterns of connection and conflict are generally complex, illustrated in this study by means of a number of local examples from bstergotland' s coastal landscape.

Interdisciplinary Research (IDR) has received a lot of attention from academics, policy-makers, and decision-makers alike. RCUK invests £3 billion in research grants each year (RCUK 2017); half of the grants are provided to investigators who hail from different departments. There is mounting awareness of the challenges facing IDR, and a large body of literature trying to establish how IDR can be analysed (Davidson 2015, Yegros-Yegros, Rafols et al. 2015). Of these, the majority have been qualitative studies and it has been noticed that there is a distinct lack of quantitative studies that can be used to identify how to enable IDR. The literature shows that many of the barriers to IDR can be classified as either cultural or administrative (Katz and Martin 1997, Cummings and Kiesler 2005, Rafols 2007, Wagner, Roessner et al. 2011), neither of which are easily changed over a short period of time. The perspective taken in this research is that change can be affected by enabling the individuals who conduct IDR. Herein lies the main challenge; how can these future leaders of IDR be identified so that they can be properly supported. No existing datasets were deemed suitable for the purpose, and a new dataset was created to analyse IDR. To isolate dynamics within an organisation, hard boundaries were drawn around research-organisations. The University of Bath journal co-authorship dataset 2000-2017 was determined to be suitable for this purpose. From this dataset a co-authorship network was created. To analyse this, established models from literature were adapted and used to identify differences in disciplinary and interdisciplinary archetypes. This was done through a correlational study. No statistically significant differences between such author archetypes were found. It was therefore concluded that an alternative approach was necessary. By adapting the networks framework to account for different types of links between edges, a multilayer perspective was adopted. This resulted in a rank-3 tensor, node-aligned framework being proposed, allowing disciplines to be represented in the network. By using this framework to construct the University of Bath multiplex co-authorship network, an exemplar structure was established through use of a series of proposed structural metrics. A growth model was proposed and successfully recreated the structure and thereby uncovered mechanics affecting real-world multiplex networks. This highlighted the importance of node entities and the layer closeness centrality. This implies that it is very difficult to carry over benefits across disciplines, and that some disciplines are better suited to share and adapt knowledge than others. The growth model also allowed an analytical expression for the rate of change of disciplinary degree, thereby providing a model for who is most likely to enable and sustain IDR.

University of Technology, Sydney. Faculty of Education. / This thesis critically investigates how student writers cope with interdisciplinarity in business studies at postgraduate level. The corpus of knowledge student writers have to grapple with today seems to distance itself from the traditional mono-disciplinary contexts. Texts as well as the students who construct them are being continuously informed and conditioned by new values and imperatives of relatively new discursive practices. Hence, student academic writing(henceforward ‘student writing’) especially at postgraduate level can be regarded as a complex academic endeavour where students have to take up multiple writing positions. Analyzing student texts against the backdrop of the enormous intertextual and interdiscursive resources pertaining to interdisciplinarity is a major component of this thesis. Electivization of the curricula, on the other hand, while providing student writers with a wide range of choices, has created yawning gaps between what is commonly known as prior knowledge and what is yet to be learnt in the form of new knowledges. These epistemological considerations, i.e., how disciplinary knowledge is acquired, evaluated, contested, and strategically used also constitute an integral part of this research. Also of importance in the above contexts are the often lengthy and generically diverse assessment tasks students are required to accomplish within specific deadlines. The nature and structure of assignment topics and assessment tasks have in the past two decades or so undergone tremendous changes owing in large measure to disciplinary as well as socio-economic imperatives. Student writing has several dimensions in terms of the mode of assessment, egg. examination-based, presentation-based, research-based, observation-based. This thesis, however, will focus on research-based writing tasks. Based on the findings of this thesis, a paradigm called critical interdisciplinarity has been proposed in the concluding chapter of this thesis. Pedagogical and curricular considerations play a vital role in critical interdisciplinarity. By virtue of their encyclopaedic dimensions, knowledge domains relating to academic interdisciplinarity in student writing lend themselves to a wide range of future research projects. An attempt has been made here to critically explore only a tiny proportion of this inexhaustible repertoire of knowledge.

<p>I denna uppsats undersöks diskursartikulationer kring narkotikamissbruk för att ta reda på hur de konstrueras i medietexter, vilka som får komma till tal samt vilka roller dessa artikulationer tar och deras förhållande till varandra. Teorin som använts är Faircloughs kritiska diskursanalys och som komplement till den har Laclau & Mouffes kritiska diskursteori använts. I studien synliggörs tre olika artikulationstrender beroende på vilken ideologisk utgångspunkt skribenten kunde antas ha baserat på sin position. Dessa positioner diskuteras sedan med hänsyn till drogernas historiskt kulturella kontext.</p>

<p>This case study aims at showing how longer field studies can influence the design process. The design case is a redesign of the GUI of software for cell phone network simulation. The study explores the potential of a long field study, presenting it in a way that makes it possible for the reader to follow every step of the process and thus evaluate the merits of this long fieldstudy, and of longer field studies, in general.</p><p>Data for the study was collected and an initial analysis performed during a four weeks field study. Participant observation was the primary method, but other methods were also used. After the field study was completed, further analysis led to the formation of a design rationale, sorted according to three identified usage groups and one general category.</p><p>This study argues that a long field study, with design measurements, informs the design significantly. Week one was needed for creating the necessary rapport with the users/informants, while new information decreased during week four. This confirms the argument of earlier studies that the time span of field studies for focused design cases may be shorter than for more wide-aiming social research. However, one main finding is that the most significant data for the design rationale was unevenly collected, mainly in weeks two and three. Thus, the study argues that design cases may benefit from longer fieldstudies than is the standard within the design community of today.</p>
