Sjukhuset är en offentlig plats som präglas av utformning och bebyggelse skapad för att bedriva vård. Därmed upplevs platsen ofta annorlunda sett till andra offentliga platser. Teorier om terapeutiska landskap och evidensbaserad design syftar till ett mer holistiskt perspektiv på vården. Enligt dessa är utomhusmiljön viktig för såväl patienter som personal. Med Akademiska sjukhuset som fallstudie behandlas i denna uppsats de problem som kan uppstå i och med en vilja att integrera ett sjukhusområde med resten av staden. Det ställs krav på att området inte bör fungera som en barriär och samtidigt finns en strävan efter god utomhusmiljö i ett vårdande syfte. Intervjuer med tjänstemän i den offentliga sektorn och analyserande av offentliga dokument har utförts i studien. Resultatet visar att ett större flöde genom sjukhusområdet delvis eftersträvas vilket är en motsättning för en läkande miljö, för vissa. En stärkt integration kan samtidigt öka tillgängligheten såväl ut från sjukhuset som in till sjukhuset.

<p>Denna uppsats är kvalitativ och behandlar hur den utökade vårdgarantin implementeras i Uppsala Läns Landsting. Med hjälp av Brunsson och Olsens teori om reform implementering och Brunssons teori om organisatoriskt hyckleri har vi analyserat hur reformen implementerats och vilka faktorer som påverkar implementeringen. Reformen syftar till att minska vårdköerna genom rationalisering och effektivisering men även till att påverka organisationens omgivning så att befolkningen får en mer positiv uppfattning om sjukvården. Våra slutsatser är att den utökade vårdgarantin är en utveckling av en tidigare reform och att implementeringen påverkas av tidsaspekten, oklarhet i idé och praktik samt organisationens förhållande till dess omgivning.</p>

The mobile preschools of Uppsala are buses that are provided as a complement for stationary preschools. The buses are connected to one stationary preschool that provides the necessities such as food and a place for the children to be before and after the daily trips. In Uppsala, there are five mobile preschool buses and they have been operated since 2009. For the bus to provide heat, warm food and energy for activities on the bus, there is a generator installed that runs on biodiesel. The emissions from the generator, in combination with the loud noises that it emits, are of concern for both the children and educators on the bus as well as the people around it. This has caused for alternative ways to deliver electricity to the bus. This study examines three scenarios for delivering electricity and tries to evaluate what the best option could be from different Points of view. The three scenarios are replacing the generator with either a battery, replacing the generator with electricity poles and to replace the generator with a more efficient and quieter one. When evaluating the different scenarios from an economical point of view, the study found that the electricity poles would be the best option. When evaluating the best option with respect to the children and educators, the study found that the battery would be the best option. The negative consequences for continuing to use a generator to supply electricity would be a health hazard for the children and a limitation for the educators in the freedom of choosing location for the bus to visit.

The purpose of this report is to survey the multi-family residential buildings that were built in the Swedish city of Uppsala during the state-funded Million Homes Program and to assess the technical potential of different energy efficiency measures that may be applied in order to improve the efficiency of the heating of these buildings. An additional purpose of this report is to discern how the entire district heating system would be affected if the proposed energy efficiency measures were implemented.   The energy efficiency measures that were examined were: improved thermal envelopes (additional insulation and energy efficient windows and doors) and installation of air-to-air heat exchangers or exhaust air heat pumps in the ventilation systems. The buildings were categorized into four different types of buildings with different properties and a model was constructed for each category.   All energy efficiency measures showed significant reductions in the amount of heating required. The measure with the best performance was improvement of thermal envelopes in combination with exhaust air heat pumps, which reduced the buildings' energy demand by about 80%. Regarding the heat demand in the entire district heating system, the reductions due to energy efficiency measures in the million homes program buildings were small. The exhaust air heat pumps showed the largest reductions in the capacity factor. Only the heat exchangers resulted in a higher capacity factor and the improvement was too small to be of interest. However, the results clearly show that saving energy in space heating is technically easily achievable.

En stark tradition vid Uppsalas studentnationer är att hålla så kallade sittningar, det vill säga sittande middagar. På dessa sittningar har den unisona sången en stark ställning. I det här arbetet har jag utfört deltagarobservationer på tre olika sittningar vid tre olika studentnationer. Detta i syfte att öka kunskapen om den unisona sångens roll i sociala relationer. Genom att anlägga ett ANT-perspektiv (aktörs-nätverksteorin) har jag betraktat sången som en icke-mänsklig aktör bland de mänskliga aktörerna i ett nätverk där samtliga aktörer definieras av att de har agens, vilket innebär att de har en påverkande roll.  Jag har sedan utifrån teoretiska utgångspunkter diskuterat kring aktörernas habitus och kapital. Min undersökning har visat att den unisona sångens roll utgör en central del i studenternas socialisationsprocess och hur den unisona sången och sittningsdeltagarna interagerar med varandra.
