Designing for older adults often takes the form of design for declining sensory, motor orcognitive ability. Instead of starting from disabilities this thesis aims to explore theproblems older adults experience in relation to information technology from theperspective of the older adult. Through the use of situational analysis data from fiveinterviews and five observations were analysed in order to find what problems, if any,the older adults gave voice to. This resulted in a study focused on three such problems:the instructions older adults receive when learning how to use information technology,the role of the surrounding of the older adults, and the feelings those interactions create.The result is a mix of different ways to view ageing along with a proposition that showsone possible way to reconfigure this interplay between older adults, the surrounding andinformation technology in order to lessen the impact of those problems.

Mitt syfte med examensarbetet är att undersöka om en samarbetspartner med speciella ämneskunskaper ger bättre förutsättningar för förskolan att kunna erbjuda förskolebarnen olika ämneskunskaper, än förskolor med förskolepedagoger. Jag valde att titta på ämnet biologi genom att göra observationer i tre olika förskolor samt intervjua två pedagoger på varje förskola. Resultatet är att förskolorna skiljer sig åt i vad de erbjuder barnen inom ämnet biologi, men om det beror på om de har samarbetspartners eller inte gå inte att fastställa av enbart den här undersökningen. Flera faktorer som förskolans miljö, vilka som jobbar på förskolan samt barnens intresse påverkar också. Men undersökningen visar att verksamheten påverkas av att ha samarbetspartners. Främst genom att mer biologikunskap leder till att barnen ges en större förståelse för hur naturen hänger samman och hur människan påverkar sin närmiljö. / The purpose of this research was to investigate the impact a special subject knowledge collaborator makes as opposed to one without. I have chosen to look at the subject biology by doing observations at three different preschools and by doing interviews with two educators at each preschool. The result shows that there are differences between what the preschools offer the children in the biology subject, but if it depends on whether they have a collaborator or not is not possible to show from this examination alone. Other factors that might have an influence are the preschools surroundings, the educator who works in the preschools and the children’s own interests. However as my research show the preschool activity is influenced by having collaborators. The more biology knowledge we give the children a greater understanding of how nature is linked and how mankind affects their surroundings.

In this thesis, the effect of the following three aspects related to the generation and efficient transport of vortex rings were studied. They included: 1) the initial boundary condition where the vortex ring is generated. A comparison between previous results and the data obtained in this study showed that vortex rings generated at a tube orifice were both slower in velocity and larger in size than vortex rings generated at a plate orifice under similar conditions. 2) the presence of a stratified layer of fluid in a vessel. Flow visualization experiments showed that after a vortex ring penetrated through the interface of the stratified layer, it was able to mix the fluid inside the ring with the surrounding fluid. The amount of mixing depended on the depth of penetration of the ring into the stratified layer. An empirical relationship was obtained to predict the maximum penetration depth of a vortex ring into a stratified layer. It is: Xp/Rm - -29.7 log10Ri - 22.7 3) the proximity of a wall or another vortex ring to the path of the primary ring. Through numerical simulation, it was shown that the primary ring would slow down and turn away from its original path. Eventually, this ring would either crash into the wall or collide with another ring. In order to prevent this turning of a vortex ring from happening, the centre of the generation orifice should be 7.5 times the radius of the injection orifice (Rm) from the wall or (Rm) between two generation orifices. These results can be used to optimize the design and positioning of vortex ring mixers for various mixing vessel geometries and mixing processes. / Thesis / Master of Engineering (ME)

It is, however, little study about the results of such training programs of these teachers, especially on issues involving their practices in environmental education. In the far western region of Paraná, this is also a reality. The presence of the Iguaçu National Park and Itaipu Binacional, through their respective environmental education programs with an emphasis on projects in formal education, promotes courses and moments of training for teachers from different areas and levels of education. However, the evaluation of these programs around the contributions in teacher education has been incipient. Thus, the present study investigated teachers who participated in one of the training courses offered by the Iguaçu National Park (INP). This is a qualitative research, whose research sample one (01) teacher in each municipality who attended the course in 2015. With regard to the data for analysis, these data were made from three different sources, as follows: personal notes taken during the course, interviews with teachers through focus group technique (FG) and practical projects summary of the texts developed by the teachers / course participants. Both the resulting document FG as the present text the projects were analyzed using content analysis methodology proposed by the French researcher Laurence Bardin. The results point to a negative reality, that the initial teacher training is deficient as to the socio-environmental theme, and although no formal teaching institutions offer continuing education courses for practicing teachers, these courses have not been sufficient to meet demand for teachers and change entrenched practices, as some pedagogical practices developed by the subjects of this research are directly related to the design environment. This concept lies in considering the environment as nature, which has the human being the causative agent of problems. The activities developed by teachers aimed to inform and educate people to solve problems through conservative and reformist approach. EE is not yet integrated into the political-pedagogical projects in schools, being relegated to projects and specific actions, fragmented and individualized. Finally, the course participants expressed the need for reflection and criticism of their practices, which denotes the importance of this course type as teacher training space. / Diversos projetos de Educação Ambiental (EA) são desenvolvidos nas escolas brasileiras motivados por programas de formação de professores. É, porém, escasso o estudo a respeito dos resultados de tais programas de formação desses professores, especialmente em questões que envolvem suas práticas em educação ambiental. Na região do extremo oeste paranaense, esta também é uma realidade. A presença do Parque Nacional do Iguaçu e da Itaipu Binacional, por meio dos seus respectivos programas de Educação Ambiental com ênfase em projetos na educação formal, impulsiona cursos e momentos de formação para professores de diversas áreas e níveis da educação. Entretanto, a avaliação desses programas em torno das contribuições na formação do professor tem sido incipiente. Assim, a presente pesquisa investigou professores que participaram de um dos cursos de formação oferecidos pelo Parque Nacional do Iguaçu (PNI). Trata-se de uma investigação de caráter qualitativo, que tem como amostra de pesquisa um (01) professor de cada município que participou do curso no ano de 2015. No que se refere aos dados para análise, esses dados foram constituídos a partir de três fontes distintas, sendo: anotações pessoais realizadas ao longo do curso, entrevista com os professores por meio da técnica de Grupo Focal (GF) e textos do resumo dos projetos práticos desenvolvidos pelos professores/cursistas. Tanto o documento resultante do GF quanto os textos presentes nos projetos foram analisados por meio da metodologia de análise de conteúdo proposta pelo pesquisador francês Laurence Bardin. Os resultados apontam para uma realidade negativa, a de que a formação inicial dos professores é deficitária quanto à temática socioambiental e, apesar de instituições não formais de ensino oferecerem cursos de formação continuada a professores em exercício, esses cursos não têm sido suficientes para atender à demanda de professores e modificar práticas enraizadas, pois algumas práticas pedagógicas desenvolvidas pelos sujeitos desta pesquisa estão diretamente relacionadas à concepção de meio ambiente. Essa concepção situa-se em considerar meio ambiente enquanto natureza, que tem no ser humano o agente causador dos problemas. As atividades desenvolvidas pelos professores objetivavam informar e conscientizar as pessoas para resolver os problemas por meio de abordagem conservadora e reformista. A EA ainda não está integrada aos Projetos Político-Pedagógicos das escolas, sendo relegada a projetos e a ações pontuais, fragmentados e individualizados. Por fim, os cursistas manifestam a necessidade de reflexões e críticas sobre suas práticas, o que denota a importância desse tipo de curso enquanto espaço de formação de professores.

The purpose of this study was to determine the characteristics of the people that visited Bridgerland, the interests of these people and what these people participated in while visiting Bridgerland. The population studied was the tourist group that visited a tourist information booth in Bridgerland during the 1967 and 1968 summer tourist seasons. Data collection was done in the form of a wuestionnaire which was given to the tourists who visited the tourist information booths in Bridgerland. It was determined that in most cases the party head was an adult male. He was well educated, with a college degree or better and he makes his home in a small city. He had an income of over $10,000 and participated in the initial decision to visit Bridgerland. Bridgerland tourists came from small cities, rural settings, and large metropolitan areas. They preferred to find their accommodations in hotels or motels and preferred to prepare their own meals. Bridgerland tourists were just passing through and did not consider Bridgerland to be a vacation destination place. They were satisfied with the recreation facilities in Bridgerland, visited Utah State Parks and historic sites, and found the natives of Bridgerland to be friendly.

<p>I en ambition att öka effekten och insatsberedskapen i den svenska försvarsmakten har stora omorganisationer skett efter det kalla krigets slut.

The recent change includes that conscript service is placed on a hold during peace time and that the soldiers in the armed forces serve in accordance with a contract. This has resulted in reductions in the amount of soldiers, the reduction is probably made to be able to pay for salaries for the contract soldiers. The Air Force ground defence units have been reduced to nine platoons so if an event of conflict in Sweden, or in Sweden's vicinity, resulting in a diversion of the Swedish Air Force around Sweden, there are not enough units to protect all the bases effectively. At today’s date the security units around the air bases use dogs as its primary sensor when they try to locate enemy reconnaissance and sabotage units in and around the Swedish air bases. The dog is a skilled sensor in locating people and equipment, but its ability to search the large areas around an air base over are limited because of the small number of dogs. Therefore, this text will look at the characteristics of a laser radar and se if it could work as a supplement to the dogas a sensor. The dog has the ability to short distances with great accuracy indicate persons and equipment with their hearing and sense of smell. Laser radar if it is based on a UAV has the ability to see through vegetation, camouflage, and smoke from an elevated position. This allows it to monitor a wider area than the dog can do.

No one sensor offset each other but as a complement to each other they have the ability to increase the physical wellness of each other if they don’t have to work as hard as if theywere alone.</p>
