Web-based services designed using human centered design methods containing instructions how to self-complete various tasks and providing interfaces to do them helped various organizations become more efficient. However, often software engineering teams have a lack of understanding of when and how users should bei nvolved when designing such systems. They are often unsure how to measure the impact of human centered design methods. This thesis presents a human centered design solution to designing a website for technical information and service tools for Windows services at CERN. This involved using a carefully chosen combination of design research methods to study user, stakeholder groups and their workflows as well as organizational requirements. I then used this data to inform the design decisions and outputs such as sitemaps, wireframes and a high fidelity prototype. The study focused on the role of these methods in the design process and how they could help to accomplish the goals of the project. Also, on evaluating the impact of these methods on the design outcome. It was found that interviews, card sorting and usability testing each had a role to play in the process with the new design performing significantly better than the old one. Further to this, usability testing was found to be a useful evaluation and development technique. / Webbaserade tjänster utvecklade efter människocentrerade utvecklingsmetoder innehållande instruktioner för att utföra vissa uppgifter och förse gränssnitt på egenhand har hjälpt ett flertal organisationer att bli effektivare. Dock har ofta mjukvaruutvecklingsteamen brist på förståelse utav när och hur användare skall vara inblandade i utvecklingen av dessa system. De är ofta osäkra på hur påverkan av en människocentrerad utvecklingsprocess skall mätas. Denna avhandling presenteraren människocentrerad utvecklingslösning för utveckling av en hemsida avsedd för teknisk information och tjänsteverktyg till windows services åt CERN. Detta involverade användning utav en noggrant utvald kombination utav forskningsresultat angående utvecklingsmetoder för att studera användare, intressenter och deras arbetsflöde samt organisations relaterade krav. Denna data användes sedan för att ta utvecklings relaterade beslut och framta resultat så som webbplatskartor, wireframes and en realistisk prototyp. Denna studie fokuserar på rollen utav dessa metoder i utvecklingsprocessen och hur de kan bidra till att åstadkomma målen för projektet. Samt, för att evaluera påverkan av dessa metoder på utvecklings processen. Det konstaterades att intervjuer, sortering utav kort och testning utav användbarhet alla hade en roll i varför den nya produkten presterade signifikant bättre än den äldre produkten. Samt test utav användbarhet visar sig vara ett bra verktyg och utvecklingsmetod.

Tidigare forskning om pedagogisk dokumentation visar att det mest är äldre barn som är delaktiga. Däremot skulle det gynna de yngre barnen eftersom pedagogisk dokumentation kan bidra med anknytning och kan skapa en trygg relation. Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur förskollärare resonerar kring yngre barns delaktighet och inflytande i pedagogisk dokumentation. Forskningsfrågorna är: Vad berättar förskollärare om pedagogisk dokumentation med yngre barn? Vad resonerar förskollärare om gällande yngre barns delaktighet och inflytande i pedagogisk dokumentation? Hur ges barnen möjlighet att vara delaktiga och ha inflytande i pedagogisk dokumentation enligt förskollärarna? Studiens empiriska material samlades in genom fokusgrupper. Resultatet visade att det som påverkar yngre barns delaktighet mest är att alla inte har det verbala språket vilket medför att förskollärarna tolkar barnens olika kommunikations uttryck. För att tolka så korrekt som möjligt är reflektioner med arbetslaget en viktig tillgång. Slutsatsen är att dokumentation inte blir pedagogisk om inte barnen är delaktiga. / Previous research on educational documentation shows that it is mostlyolder children who participate. On the other hand, it would benefit theyounger children because educational documentation can contribute toconnection and can create a secure relationship. The purpose of the study isto investigate how preschool teachers reason about younger children´sparticipation and influence in educational documentation. The researchquestions are: What do preschool teachers say about educationaldocumentation with younger children? What do preschool teachers reasonabout the participation and influence of younger children in educationaldocumentation? How are the children given the opportunity to participateand have influence in educational documentation according to the preschoolteachers? The study’s empirical material was collected through focusgroups. The results showed that what affects young children’s participationthe most is that not everyone has the verbal language, which means that thepreschool teachers interpret the children’s different expressions ofcommunication. In order to interpret as correctly as possible, reflectionswith the work team are an important asset. The conclusion is thatdocumentation will not be educational if the children are not involved.

Digitaliseringen i bygg- och anläggningsbranschen går snabbt framåt. Under coronapandeminuppger ”Svensk Byggtjänst” att utvecklingen har accelererat och att användningen avbranschspecifika digitala verktyg har ökat med över 60%. Denna snabba utveckling skersamtidigt som stora pågående projekt vilket leder till att implementeringen av verktygen skerparallellt med produktionen. Det är inte problemfritt att styra om riktningen för rutiner ocharbetssätt på ett pågående projekt, speciellt inte i informationstäta anläggningsprojekt.I produktionsfasen av ett anläggningsprojekt hanteras stora mängder dokumentation, att skapaett effektivt flöde med minimalt antal avbrott och utan risk för att förlora information på vägenär viktigt, inte minst sett ur ett kvalitetsperspektiv. Kvalitetsdokumentation används för att säkerställa att rätt produkt levereras och att kraven påbyggdelen uppfylls, kvalitetsdokumentationen ingår även i slutdokumentationen som tas framinför en slutbesiktning.Syftet med detta examensarbete är att undersöka Skanskas dataflöden förkvalitetsdokumentation i produktionsfasen. För att undersöka hur dataflödet ser ut i projektethar en granskning av kontrolldokumentationen för en anläggningsdel i Slussen utförts. För attfå en tydligare bild av dataflödet idag samt hur effektivt det är, kartlägger denna studie ettfaktiskt kvalitetsrelaterat flöde, samt intervjuar digitala ledare och produktionsingenjörer. Syftetär att identifiera ineffektivitet och risker i form av avbrott i flödet och förlorad kvalitetssäkring.Studien visar på att det finns ett visst motstånd i produktionen när det kommer tillimplementering av digitala verktyg, att användningsgraden i de digitala verktygen är lägre änönskat samt att den påverkas av personliga preferenser när det kommer till kvalitetsarbetet iproduktionen. I resultatet redovisas konsekvenser som kan kopplas till ineffektiva dataflödensamt vad som behövs för att optimera dataflödet. / Digitalization in the construction industry is progressing rapidly. During the corona pandemic,“Svensk Byggtjänst” states that development has accelerated and that the use of industryspecificdigital tools has increased by more than 60%. This rapid development takes place at thesame time as large ongoing projects, which leads to the implementation of the digital tools takingplace in parallel with the production. It is not without problems to redirect the direction ofroutines and working methods on an ongoing project, especially not in information-denseconstruction projects.In the production phase of a construction project, large amounts of documentation are handled,creating an efficient flow with a minimal number of interruptions and without the risk of losinginformation along the way is important, not least from a quality perspective.Quality documentation is used to ensure that the right product is delivered and that therequirements for the building component are met, the quality documentation is also included inthe final documentation that is produced before a final inspection.The purpose of this thesis is to investigate Skanska's data flows for quality documentation in theproduction phase. To investigate what the data flow looks like in the project, a review of thecontrol documentation for a construction part in Slussen has been carried out. To get a clearerpicture of the data flow today and how efficient it is, this study performs a survey of an actualquality-related flow, and interviews digital leaders and production engineers. The purpose is toidentify inefficiencies and risks in the form of interruptions in the flow and lost qualityassurance.The study shows that there is some resistance in production when it comes to the implementationof digital tools, that the degree of use of the digital tools is lower than desired and that it isaffected by personal preferences when it comes to quality work in production. The results reportconsequences that can be linked to inefficient data flows and what is needed to optimize the dataflow.

Cette thèse, portant sur la conception de grammaires de référence pour les locuteurs de langues minoritaires, se veut une contribution au développement d'une discipline émergente des sciences du langage, la grammaticographie, discipline qui cherche à promouvoir et à encadrer la description grammaticale des langues du monde, surtout celles qui sont peu documentées et menacées de disparition. Plus précisément, nous proposons dans notre travail un cadre et des principes d'ordre théorique, méthodologique et pratique en vue de construire cette grammaticographie, mais en nous intéressant spécifiquement aux besoins et aux attentes des locuteurs de langues minoritaires, et ce, en nous basant sur notre expérience de grammairienne de la langue innue (langue amérindienne parlée au Québec) et sur notre projet d'une grammaire pour ces locuteurs. Nous traitons un certain nombre de questions et de problèmes auxquels nous nous sommes heurtée dans la mise en œuvre de notre entreprise et nous proposons, à partir de notre champ d'expérimentation qu'est la langue innue, nos solutions, avec l'objectif d'établir les bases d'une grammaticographie s'adressant prioritairement aux locuteurs de langues sous-documentées, premiers acteurs de la survie de leurs langues. Après avoir défini ce que nous entendons par grammaire de référence, nous étudions la question cruciale du choix du ou des destinataires d'une grammaire de langue minoritaire, puis nous examinons les objectifs, l'approche théorique et l'organisation structurale ou fonctionnelle à privilégier pour ce type d'ouvrage qui vise principalement les locuteurs non spécialistes. Nous traitons ensuite du contenu proprement dit de la grammaire, sous différents angles, dont ceux relatifs à la forme et au fond, en nous attardant plus particulièrement aux questions qui ont trait à la langue de rédaction, au métalangage et à la terminologie grammaticale, à la norme et à la variation dialectale, à l'étendue et à la profondeur de la description grammaticale, au choix des faits linguistiques faisant l'objet de la description, à l'organisation matérielle de l'ouvrage, à la présentation des exemples servant à soutenir le texte grammatical, à la place donnée aux informations non grammaticales ou non linguistiques. Parmi les solutions retenues pour la grammaire de l'innu, mentionnons la proposition d'une grammaire multiniveaux pour tenir compte de lectorats diversifiés, le choix du locuteur enseignant de langue comme public cible prioritaire, l'organisation du contenu selon une perspective mixte structurale et fonctionnelle, le choix d'une langue de grande diffusion comme langue de rédaction et pour le métalangage. Les situations linguistiques de communautés de langues minoritaires ne sont pas partout les mêmes, mais nous croyons que plusieurs des principes grammaticographiques proposés pour la langue innue pourront être utiles aux locuteurs de ces langues moins documentées. / This dissertation, a study of how reference grammars can be developed for speakers of minority languages, contributes to the newly emerging field of grammaticography, the science devoted to the grammatical description of languages, particularly those which are poorly documented and endangered. The present study addresses fundamental theoretical, methodological and practical concerns related arising in grammaticography, taking as an example key issues arising in the development of a grammar for native speakers of Innu, an Amerindian language spoken in Quebec. Starting from an analysis of problems encountered in the course of documenting the grammar of Innu, this dissertation explores how grammaticography can best respond to the specific and very urgent needs of speakers of endangered and poorly documented languages. The study opens with an analysis of the concept of reference grammar. It then considers how potential users of reference grammars can be identified in minority language contexts and how grammars can be structured in order to meet the needs of users who are native speakers of the language without being language specialists. The study next addresses the problem of content, considering both what to include and how to include it. In this section particular attention is paid to making metalinguistic and terminological choices, establishing grammatical norms and handling regional variations, deciding on the depth and breadth of grammatical description to include, selecting grammatical points to include, organizing the selected content optimally, choosing and integrating illustrative examples, and including key non linguistic information. Next follows a discussion of the various solutions arrived at in the case of writing a reference grammar for the Innu language. Among these figure the use of a multilevel approach designed to address the needs of a varied reading public, the selection of teachers as the target audience, the organization of content according to a hybrid structural-function approach, and the decision to write the grammar in a majority language. Although the challenges posed by the creation of minority language reference grammars vary substantially from one context to the next, it is hoped that many of the basic grammaticographie principles developed within the framework of this study will prove useful to others engaged in reference grammar writing in the case of endangered and poorly documented languages.

Mobilizing the format and legacy of the cabaret genre, the Chez Michou project intertwines the image of the French singer and drag artist Michou with a poetic reflection on disorientation. The bodies on the stage activate a queer spatiality that erases the border between the inner and outer world, between abstraction and the reality of fiction. Guiding the imagination in the confusion of identity, the choreography reveals a cartography of dislocation saturated with vivid textures of objects, gestures and words. The collapse of heteronormative structures is radicalized through the possibility of flesh to oppose fixed coordinates and perform a subject that is somehow out of place. The choreographic language is associated with the mystical insights and screenwriting actions of the cult American director David Lynch. Dramaturgy supported by musical quotes from feminist and activist icons: British music diva Annie Lennox, female post-punk band Le Tigre and iconic queer synth pop ensemble Visage Chez Michou functions as an invitation to lose ourselves, celebrates the disappearing horizon and returns to the affective territories of Otherness. The performance work "Chez Michou" is accompanied by a Choreographic Object / Object called SPOMENAR / Queer Archive of feelings as its complementary, but also independent part. Both works were premiered to the public on May 26 and 27, 2024 at the Modern Dance Theater (MDT) in Stockholm as part of the graduation mini festival. works by students of the master's degree in choreography at the University of the Arts in Stockholm.
