Denna rapport syftar till att genomföra en jämförande fallstudie mellan Vallastaden och Skäggetorps fysiska miljö, där vi undersökt påverkan på segregation och utanförskap. Vi grundar undersökningen i planeringsidealen som präglat Vallastaden och Skäggetorps fysiska miljö. Syfte och frågeställningar har besvarats genom en metodkombination mellan observationer och dokumentanalys. Metoderna har använts för att beskriva och analysera den fysiska miljön kopplat till segregation, samt kunna åskådliggöra Linköping kommuns strategier för att integrera staden och minska segregationen.  Fallstudien grundar sig i Jane Jacobs och Jan Gehls teoretiska ramverk. Dessa teoretiska tankar grundar sig i hur fysisk miljö kan bidra till den goda staden och konsekvenser av barriärer. Vi har identifierat likheter och skillnader i områdena, samt hur barriärer och den fysiska miljön påverkar stadens segregation. En annan viktig upptäckt är att det största fokuset på segregation läggs på socioekonomiskt svaga områden medan vi identifierat brister i andra typer av områden, såsom i Vallastaden. / This report aims to conduct a comparative case study between Vallastaden and Skäggetorp's physical environment, where we investigated the impact on segregation and exclusion. We base the study on the planning ideals that characterized the physical environment of Vallastaden and Skäggetorp. The aim and questions at issue have been answered through a combination of methods including observations and document analysis. The methods have been used to describe and analyze the physical environment linked to segregation, as well as being able to illustrate Linköping municipality's strategies to integrate the city and reduce segregation. The case study is based on the theoretical framework of Jane Jacobs and Jan Gehl. These theoretical thoughts are based on how the physical environment can contribute to the good city and the consequences of barriers. We have identified similarities and differences in the areas, as well as how barriers and the physical environment affect the city's segregation. Another important discovery is that the greatest focus on segregation is placed on socio-economically weak areas, while we have identified deficiencies in other types of areas, such as in Vallastaden.

Given a sloping wooded site in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, the problem of the thesis project was to design a retreat that would fit the environment and the people that would inhabit it. It was a searching for the interdependence between the landscape and the building. Equally important was a search for a structure that would give architectural integrity to the house. The design process included a time of discovery and clarification of values and priorities. Two additional steps during the schematic design were processes architect Charles Moore referred to as"mapping" and"collecting''. These processes help to establish relationships between the inhabitants and things they recognize. Structural elements of post and beam construction gave a sense of order in the design layout and helped to organize the spaces within the form of the house. A system of equidistant columns formed by four wood posts also provided the physical linkage between the building and the site. Native field stone was used for the large piers that supported the columns as well as for the perimeter walls of the living room structure. The inner landscape of the house, the pathways, the rooms and the machines within them, developed from the basic idea that the building would grow from a central axis or “spine” that originated from the outside at the street's edge, extended across the site,and moved into the building to become the main artery of the structure as well as the connection between outside and inside. / Master of Architecture

The thesis of this project focuses on some possibilities for present day interpretation of the prairie style as it relates to the third dimension i.e. trying to use Frank Lloyd Wright as a departure point for my personal design explorations. I consider this thesis project to be an important step in the ongoing process of my personal development as an architect looking for some new ideas in the realm of the third dimension. / Master of Architecture

THE WALL IS: the side of a room or building, between the floor, foundation, and the ceiling, root, a structure of stone, brick, or other material, built up to enclose, divide, support, or protect.¹ The wall is a barrier; separating and containing spaces, defining public and private relationships, dividing natural and cultured environments. The wall is both visual image and physical realization. TRANSITIONS ARE: a change or passing from one condition, place, activity, topic to another (a time between distinct periods.)² Transition implies movement. Movement in terms of time and relationships. Movement from one point to another; gradual or direct, vertical or horizontal, slow or fast. Transitions define and clarity the issue and the structure. THE INBETWEEN IS: that which is in the middle, that which comes in the space of time separating two places or persons. That is neither one kind nor the other, indifferent or uncommitted; a person or thing inbetween.³ The inbetween as public domain or private realm. An implied wall which separates and contains objects, defines public and private relationships, dividing natural and cultured environments. The inbetween as both implied wall and defined space. / Master of Architecture

Throughout history, art has succeeded in creating systems of meaning capable of constructing a coherent world image for its respective societies. This is especially true of so-called primitive works of art, which, in their coming into being, make use of a mythical mode of thinking that sees the world in terms of analogy, the identification or establishment of relations between concrete particulars of things otherwise considered unlike. Rather than assuming that contemporary culture has overcome this savage characteristic, this book is an investigation into the theoretical foundations and implications of analogical thought involved in acts of making and the design of architectural projects relevant to our time. Of all disciplines concerned with production, perhaps architecture, in particular, finds itself amid the most complex set of various forces and constraints, all vying for preeminence - and formal expression. A corresponding architectural complexity is achieved, not in positivist fashion through direct, additive responses to this plurality of influences, but through the ordering of relations of opposition inherent in specific situations. These oppositions align with their built counterforms to produce a richly articulated structural framework. Yet, instead of grounding architectural decisions on an pposition of willful contradiction, this thesis seeks an inclusive architecture grounded in the mutual reciprocity of opposites or contraries. Analogies with structural linguistics and anthropology, Aristotle's theory of contrariety, and the literature of James Joyce are used to elucidate universal principles common to any productive art / Master of Architecture

To understand a users behavior on a website could be in great help to the companybehind the website in decisions regarding future expansion. Web-analytic tools suchas Google Analytics 4 can be used in order to accomplish such tasks. The goal ofthis thesis is to determine whether Google Analytics 4 is a suitable tool in managingdata, with a high usability or if a custom designed dashboard is prefered.To determine which approach has the highest usability a custom made dashboardwas created within the framework React. Five tasks, that Nobia - the companybehind the request, found important were done in both Google Analytics 4 as wellas the custom designed dashboard. With help from earlier studies in form of surveys,reports, documentation and articles a literature study was made. The result gaveinsight on earlier views on web-analytic tools like Google Analytics 4. Thereafterfollowed semi-stuctured interviews in combination with a questionnaire includingThe System Usability Scale (SUS) to measure the result.The study showed that the users at Nobia favoured the custom designed dash-board. In the interviews comments were made on their thoughts about both system.The main difference seemed to be concerning the time it took to navigate bothsystems as well as the usability. The users found it to be a lot more intuitive andconcentrated to one place in the custom made dashboard. / Att förstå användares beteenden på en webbplats kan ge insikter som kan hjälpa ettföretag att fatta beslut vad gäller tillvägagångsätt för framtida satsningar.

Måletmed den här studien är att undersöka huruvida Google Analytics 4 är lämplig föratt hantera data och ifall den har en hög användbarhet, eller ifall en skräddarsydddashboard är att föredra.För att undersöka vilket tillvägagångsätt som har mest användbarhet skapadesen skräddarsydd dashboard i ramverket React och fem uppgifter, som var viktiga förföretaget Nobia, utfördes i den respektive i Google Analytics 4 (GA4). Med hjälp avtidigare undersökningar, rapporter, dokumentation och ett antal artiklar genomför-des en litteraturundersökning för att se hur man tidigare sett på webbanalysverktygsåsom GA4. Därefter utfördes semi-strukturerade interjvuer i kombination med ettfrågeformulär innehållande The System Usability Scale (SUS) för att mäta resultatet.Undersökningen visade att användarna hos företaget Nobia föredrog den skräd-darsydda dashboarden. Kommentarerna från användarna belyste deras tankar omrespektive system. Skillnaden är i största del tidsåtgången samt användbarheten,hur man orienterar sig i de olika systemen. Användarna ansåg att det var tydligareoch mer koncentrerat i den skräddarsydda dashboarden.

The purpose of the study was to improve the understanding of the present situation and the key problems regarding the conservation of designed landscapes of the recent past. Another aim was to investigate roles and initiatives undertaken by key stakeholders and recommend key areas for measures and action to enhance the conservation and protection of designed landscapes of the recent past. The emphasis of the research was on the United Kingdom but relevant findings and actions from an international context were included. A qualitative method was applied using the between-method triangulation research methodology, which combined two methods of investigation, namely data triangulation and theory triangulation. Theory triangulation allowed for an investigation of the wider context or ‘the general’ and a comparison of findings from published sources and records, including an examination of the existing inventories and the roles and initiatives of key stakeholders. The data triangulation used a case study survey, with questionnaires and interviews, to enable the collection and analysis of data from different categories of stakeholders from a site-specific perspective or ‘the particular’ context. The case study survey investigated eleven case study sites using questionnaires and interviews. A total of 146 respondents were contacted and 103 completed responses were received. The results revealed that several recommendations for actions to improve the conservation and protection of heritage of the recent past exist, and that general conservation principles and methodologies exist for the conservation of designed landscapes, but that a lack of recognition and awareness for the significance of designed landscapes of the recent past results in poor implementation of such principles, and the continuing destruction and disfigurement of significant sites. The findings of the study led in the conclusions to the preparation of recommendations for measures and actions by stakeholders, to improve the protection and conservation of landscapes of the recent past.

The thesis is focused on testing of the cutting tools for machining on five axis machine tools and possibility of implementation of designed experiments in this area. The theoretical section focuses attention on analysis of specific features during five axis machining, including chip cross section and particularity of tool testing under high speed cutting conditions with consideration of dynamic stability of cutting tools. In the thesis force loading of the tool is discussed as well as its measurement process, considering force development caused by tool wear and data analysis. Description of designed experiment and its application to the area of tool testing is included as well. All theoretical predictions are followed by experimental verifying by extensive number of experimental tests, including evaluation of cutting tool condition, influence of hard coatings on cutting power of the tools, etc. For each of testing conditions are designed specific methods of processing of gathered data as well as evaluation of power of the cutting tools. Gathered data were processed by means of statistical evaluation and by statistical methods of designed experiments. The thesis contains also the extensive number of records and analysis, documented by means of light microscopy as well as electron microscopy.

Adotou-se o aparato teórico – metodológico da Análise da Conversa (SACKS, 1992; SACKS; SCHEGLOFF; JEFFERSON, 1974) para analisar 25 interações ocorridas entre pacientes e profissionais médicos/as e não médicos/as – enfermeiros/as, nutricionistas, fisioterapeutas e psicólogos/as – integrantes da equipe multidisciplinar responsável pelas orientações aos/às pacientes. As interações foram gravadas em áudio e em vídeo e transcritas segundo Jefferson (1974). Os objetivos da tese foram: (a) verificar como os/as profissionais de saúde responsáveis pela efetuação do programa educacional recomendam ou prescrevem boas práticas de saúde no turno a turno de modo a discutir quais maneiras de falar mostram-se mais (potencialmente) particularizadas ou generalizadas em relação às necessidades demonstradas (ou não) pelos/as pacientes na interação e, a partir dessa discussão, apontar tendências de (não) adesão aos autocuidados recomendados ou prescritos por parte dos/as pacientes; (b) apresentar um percurso empírico representativo do programa educacional concernente à maneira como os/as participantes negociam, no turno a turno, direitos e obrigações de saber (domínio epistêmico) e de dizer (domínio deôntico) (HERITAGE, 2012; STEVANOVIC, 2011) o que (não) pode e/ou (não) dever ser feito em termos de boas práticas de saúde e, assim, discutir as implicações interacionais e práticas relacionadas às negociações entre os/as participantes em torno de direitos e obrigações de recomendar ou prescrever boas práticas de saúde; (c) discutir os modos de organização de prestação de serviço de orientação para boas práticas de saúde à luz do princípio da integralidade (BRASIL, 1998; MATTOS, 2005a). No que toca às maneiras de falar dos/as profissionais verificou-se que a particularização tende a ocorrer quando os/as profissionais instauram cursos de ação de modo a: (a) (tentar) remover empecilhos ao aceite do/a paciente à recomendação em favor de alguma boa prática de saúde; (b) desviar da ação de prover informações contidas nos manuais de boas práticas de saúde dos programas e demonstrar conhecimento sobre aspectos peculiares ao estado de saúde do/a enfermo/a; (c) justificar a indicação para a adoção de certa medida de cuidado de saúde. No que se refere à maneira como profissionais e pacientes negociam domínios epistêmicos e deônticos, observou-se que: (a) os/as profissionais não médicos/as colocam-se na posição de alguém com direitos e obrigações de saber e de dizer como pacientes devem controlar seu quadro de saúde; (b) os/as pacientes não ratificam os direitos e obrigações desses/as especialistas não médicos/as de saberem e poderem dizer-lhes como proceder no pós-alta; (c) os/as profissionais médicos/as abordam boas práticas de saúde em turnos de fala em formato de lista, o que conflita com a expectativa dos/as pacientes de discutir tais tópicos de maneira pormenorizada. Por fim, apurou-se que o modo de organização de prestação de serviço de orientação a pacientes que participam do programa Maxcárdio aproxima-se de ações assistenciais integrais (AYRES, 2004) à medida que os/as profissionais produzem falas capazes de estabelecer uma sequência de demonstração de necessidade de orientação a partir de solicitações de informações sobre se e como o/a paciente cuida de sua saúde. A contribuição teórica desta tese traduz-se na proposta de inclusão do aspecto modo de organização sequencial de tópico na descrição do princípio de fala ajustada (SACKS, 1992; SACKS; SCHEGLOFF; JEFFERSON, 1974). O modo como as sequências de tópicos são organizadas na interação mostra-se relevante para o grau de particularização que as falas dos/as interlocutores podem alcançar na conversa. Em termos aplicados, visto que ofertar recomendações ou prescrições ajustadas às necessidades dos/as pacientes interlocutores/as locais implicar saber se e como os/as doentes controlam seu estado de saúde, sugere-se que se parta da ação de solicitar informações acerca das experiências de sucesso e das dificuldades que os/as pacientes encontram para cuidar da saúde para, então, ter material interacional para orientá-los/as de forma particularizada. / This dissertation resulted from the investigation of educational programs into good health practices that a private hospital located in the South of Brazil accomplishes with Acute Coronary Syndrome and Congestive Heart Failure patients. Conversation Analysis theoretical and methodological approach (SACKS, 1992; SACKS, SCHEGLOFF, JEFFERSON, 1974) has been adopted to analyze 25 interactions occurred between patients and medical doctors or other health providers – nurses, nutritionists, physiotherapists and psychologists – members of the multidisciplinary team responsible for the patients’ orientation. Interactions were audio and video recorded and transcribed according to Jefferson (1984). The present dissertation aimed to: (a) verify how the health professional responsible for accomplishing the educational program recommend or prescribe good health practices in the turn by turn of the interaction so as to discuss which ways of talking appear to be more (potentially) particularized or generalized in relation to patients` (not) displayed needs in the interaction and, from such discussion, to point out tendencies of (non) adherence to good practices recommended or prescribed by patients; (b) present an empirical trajectory representative of the educational program concerning the ways participants negotiate, in the interaction turn-by-turn, rights and obligation of knowing (epistemic domain) and saying (deontic domain) (HERITAGE, 2012; STEVANOVIC, 2011) what can (not) and/or must (not) be done in terms of good health practices so as to discuss the interaction and practical implication related to the negotiation around rights and obligations of recommending or prescribing good health practices; (c) discuss the ways of organizing provision of orientation to good health practices in the light of principle of integrality (BRASIL, 1998; MATTOS, 2005a). Regarding more or less particularized ways of talking concerning patients’ orientation needs, it has been verified that the professional members’ talk appear to be more particularized in situations in which they implement courses of action in such a way as to: (a) (try to) remove obstacles so that patients may accept professional members’ recommendations in favor of good health practices; (b) deviate from the action of providing information included in the manuals of good health practices of the programs and display knowledge regarding patients’ peculiar health conditions; (c) justify the indication of certain good health practice. In relation of the ways professional members and patients negotiate epistemic and deontic domains, it has been observed that: (a) non-medical members assume the position of someone who has rights and obligations of knowing and saying how patients must control their health conditions; (b) patients do not ratify these professionals’ rights and obligations of knowing and saying how they should proceed in the post-discharge; (c) medical doctors talk about good heath practices by list-formatting their turns at talk, which conflicts with patients’ expectations of discussing these topics in a minutely detailed way. In the third one, a comparing analysis between two interactions has been done. Finally, it has been verified that the way of organizing service of orientation to patients approximate integral assistance actions (AYRES, 2004) insofar as professional members produce talk capable of establish a demonstration sequence of orientation need from information solicitation concerning if and how the patient takes care of their health. The theoretical contribution of this dissertation may be translated into the proposal of including the aspect topic sequential organization mode in the description of the principle of recipiency-designed (SACKS, 1992; SACKS; SCHEGLOFF; JEFFERSON, 1974). The way topical sequences are organized in the interaction displays relevance to the degree of particularization interlocutors’ talk may reach. In terms of applicability, as providing recipient-designed recommendations or prescriptions to situated interlocutors’ needs implicates knowing if and how patients control their health conditions, we suggest that professional members depart from the action of soliciting information regarding patients’ successful and failed experiences and their difficulties in heath-caring so that interactional material may be generated and patients’ orientation may be done in a particularized way.
