Esta tese discute a Geografia Política e Geopolítica produzida por geógrafos no período de 1982-2012, procura identificar quais os temas mais tratados, os lugares da produção e a existência de especialistas com ligação na formulação de políticas territoriais do Estado brasileiro. Neste sentido, questiona a renovação da Geografia no Brasil, mostra que a negligencia dos geógrafos com a análise do Estado não passou ao largo das instituições de ensino e pesquisa. Dentre os resultados alcançados, expõe a concentração da produção em poucos geógrafos, fato marcante em todo o século XX, a localização em grandes universidades dos centros urbanos e a ligação dos geógrafos como formuladores de políticas estatais de organização territorial. Conclui-se que, no período analisado, a obra de Bertha K. Becker é preponderante na Geografia Política e Geopolítica e que a renovação que pretendia olvidar a ligação dos geógrafos com o Estado não se efetivou, ao contrário viu crescer o número de trabalhos sobre políticas territoriais para o Estado. / This thesis discusses Political Geography and Geopolitics produced by geographers between 1982 and 2012, looking to identify which topics were the most discussed, the places where they were produced and the existence of specialists linked to the formulation of territorial policies of the Brazilian State. Thus, this thesis debates a new moment in Brazilian Geography, showing that the negligence of the geographers towards an analysis of the State did not go off the education and research institutions. Among the results achieved, this thesis also exposes the concentration of production in the hands of few geographers, an observed situation throughout the whole 20th century, the location of the production based on large universities in the biggest urban centers of the country, and the bond of geographers with State policies of territorial organization. It concludes that, during the period observed, the works of Bertha K. Becker are widely spread in the Political Geography and Geopolitc, and that the renew, which intended to make geographers not to produce studies about the State has failed, an in fact, the number of studies about territorial policies of the State has grown.

Johansson, Evelina. 2018. Om- och tillbyggnationer samt renoveringar av Sankt Larskyrkan i Linköping   Johansson, Evelina. 2018. Reconstructions, extensions and renovations of St Lars Church in Linköping     St Lars Church is a white stone church located in central Linköping. In this thesis I will cover the processes behind the two most recent renovations of St Lars Church. The earlier of the two renovations was carried out in the 1950’s. The main purpose of this renovation was to literally prevent a total collapse of the church structure. Adding modern technology to the church was a priority at the most recent renovation in 2016, mainly in order to create an atmosphere which would make everyone feel welcome. I will also cover the media attention that these renovations attracted.   The material used in this thesis includes available literature, archive material, and interviews of key individuals from the most recent renovation. I have also visited the church to study the most recent renovation and gain insight into the excavations that were part of the process.   Historical records only describe the larger scaled renovations. This has led to a greater subjective valuation put into the decisions and discussions put forth during these processes. Individuals part of the historical renovations have consciously, or sub-consciously, been influenced by preceding historical ideas. Studying a historical period of time in the context of current influences lies at the hearth of the history of ideas, all the while understanding that absolute truths will never be discovered.

Denna rapport redogör för en undersökning inom säkerhetsaspekter i byggnader, medhuvudsaklig inriktning på säkerhet mot antagonistiska hot, då det är ett mindre utforskat ochdokumenterat ämne jämfört med exempelvis brandsäkerhet. Undersökningen redogör även förhur dessa säkerhetsaspekter påverkar eller påverkas av en byggnads huvudsakliga funktion ochverksamhet, beroende på om planerat byggprojekt gäller nybyggnation eller ROT-arbeten.Syftet med denna undersökning var att få en överblick över hur projektörer från relevantakonsultdiscipliner samt förvaltare av befintliga byggnader tänker och planerar kring säkerhet.Detta för att sedan sammanställa och analysera denna samlade erfarenhetsåterkoppling, i syfteatt skapa rekommendationer inför framtida byggprojekt om hur utformningen avsäkerhetsaspekter kan genomföras. Dessa rekommendationer skapas dels genom en samladerfarenhet från säkerhetsarbeten i tidigare projekt, dels genom önskemål om hursäkerhetsplaneringen kan förbättras till framtiden.Arbetet har genomförts med olika metoder; dels via intervjuer med relevanta projektörer,konsulter och förvaltare som har arbetat med säkerhetsarbetet i olika former. Vidare harstudiebesök genomförts till tre byggnader med varierande verksamheter baserade på enöppenhet till allmänheten, vilket medför att säkerhetsaspekter mot antagonistiska hot är avbetydelse.Arbetet resulterade i en upplysning av de problem kring säkerhetsprojektering som projektöreroch konsulter stöter på, exempelvis att planeringen kring säkerhet sker i ett för sent skede iprojekteringen. Detta medför att problem som missförstånd av kraven, felkalkyleringar samturval av material och produkter måste korrigeras, som i sin tur bidrar till större kostnad ochtidsförlust. Ett problem som även uppstår är att projektörer ofta saknar kompetensen ellerkunskapen om säkerhetsplanering mot antagonistiska hot, mestadels på grund av att denminimala kravställningen inte tydligt framgår i lagstiftning och föreskrifter, men framgår avstandarder och normer som få i branschen känner till. Dessa minimala krav påbyggs, omskrivsoch anpassas även av olika kravställare som försäkringsbolag, vilket bidrar till ytterligareförvirring om vilka krav som gäller. Rekommendationer om hur man kan förhindra ochförebygga uppkomsten av problem som dessa samt ytterligare problem framgår i ensammanställd checklista bland rapportens resultat, som kan vara till hjälp för både beställareoch konsulter i framtida projekt. / This thesis reports a study in safety aspects in buildings, with a focuson safety against antagonistic threats, as it is a less researched and documented topic compared to, for example, fire safety. The study also investigates how these safety aspects affect or are affected by a given building's main function and activities, depending on whether a planned construction project concerns new construction or renovation, reconstruction,and extension work. The purpose of this study was to get an overview of howdesigners from relevant consulting disciplines and managers of existing buildings think and plan about safety, to then compile and analyze this overall experience feedback, in order to create recommendations for future construction projects on how the design of safety aspects in eachconstruction project can be carried out. These recommendations are created partly through a collective experience from safety work in previous projects, and partly through wishes about how safety planning can be improved for the future.The work was carried out with different methods; partly with severalinterviews with relevant designers, consultants and managers who have worked with security work in various forms, partly on study visits to three buildings with varying activities based on openness to the public, which means that security aspects against antagonistic threats are important.The work resulted in an enlightenment of the problems regarding safety design that planners and consultants encounter, for example that the planning regarding safety takes place at a late stage in the design, which means that problems such as misunderstandings of requirements, miscalculations and selection of materials and products must be corrected. which contributes to greater cost and time loss. A problem that also arises is that designers often lack the competence or knowledge of safety planning against antagonistic threats, mostly because the minimum requirements are not clearly stated in legislation and regulations butappear in standards and norms that few know of in the industry. These minimum requirements are also supplemented, rewritten and adapted by various claimants such as insurance companies, which leads to further confusion about which requirements apply. Recommendations on how toprevent the occurrence of problems such as these and further problems appear in a compiled checklist amongthe report's results, which can be helpful for both clients and consultants in future projects.

University libraries struggle to keep up with rapidly changing technology and the associated change in teaching strategy. Most administrators and librarians are often not trained to assess space needs and struggle to reassign library spaces for non-traditional library use. As such, they often embark on expensive and time-consuming feasibility studies, using (typically) hard-earned monies to complete the research or to pilot a new space. What academic research library administrators and staff lack is an analysis tool for discovering and planning needed renovations and improvements in aging library facilities. The purpose of this research project was to determine how students use library spaces for learning in this new high-tech, hands-on education experience (i.e. synthesis of previous research); develop a tool that can be used by library staff to self-analyze existing academic library spaces, identifying areas that could be improved for student benefit (e.g. provide a checklist of potential learning spaces that institutions should carefully consider adding to their facilities); and provide some examples/case studies of potential facility improvements. The end result is a hierarchical self-analysis tool that merges space options, Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, and an example of library-user personas. It also provides some general cost guidelines, helpful construction tips, and a synthesis of exploratory questions related to strategy and space. The tool uses evidence-based design to facilitate important conversations, provide an organized checklist of various considerations, and be a quick reference for library administrators and facility managers as they navigate the world of twenty-first century pedagogy and student learning.
