Full textAbstract A challenge for many municipalities in today's digital society is to create effective and societal useful e-services for citizens. These e-services are to facilitate communication between the municipality and citizens but also to contribute to more open government in the municipalities. To accomplish this, the municipalities first need to develop and secure the internal administrations. To achieve this development of e-services, a process-oriented approach can be used. Process orientation means that you set up efficient processes internally to optimize and develop their own activities. This is done through process modeling, identifying all the activities available in the business and put them in a relationship that ultimately will generate a higher value and better service for citizens. To develop the business and to think in processes is not new, but to automate this thinking can be a challenge for many municipalities, a challenge that will result in qualified e-services. The essay is based on a qualitative study that aims to identify significant implications that a municipality can get when using process-oriented e-service development. Through a case study we have interviewed several employees of a municipality to produce these implications. The approaches that have been studied are how the internal operations are affected as a whole and how its employees are affected. In addition to the empirical base (in the form of case studies, interviews and document studies) we have linked a theoretical framework and thus have been able to come to a conclusion. The municipality that has been studied conducts its process orientation by working with a specific methodology, which means that process modelers and representatives from various administrations meet in workshop-based sessions. Their task is to jointly develop the business and the citizens' demands and needs which will then result in stringent and digitized processes. With this methodology many implications has been identified. The main benefits that can arise when you put the business operations and employees in focus is partly that in the longer term you can have a more flexible and stronger organization, activities that both enhance working practices and increase participation among employees. In the end, the employees themselves develop their activities and thus can more easily influence their own work situation and constantly strive for improvement. This in turn can lead to a more customer-oriented business where the implications of working with process orientation lead to a good base for future development of e-services. However, it is important to note that involvement is a critical success factor. Too long and too many workshops can lead to negativity, which in turn may reduce this commitment. This may lead to that you can get bad processes that do not provide increased benefits to citizens or to the internal operations. I you get a good mobilization and organizational preparation for the development of e-services we provide as suggestions that it is important to think about documentation and evaluation of the project. This in turn could be of great assistance to other municipalities who wish to pursue internal process orientation. Shared knowledge equals increased knowledge and thus becomes an important factor in the approach to sustainable and dynamic processes that generate societal and useful e-services.

Full textCitizens’ interaction with governments is an area with unique implications for channel management. Governments need to take the citizens perspective into further consideration in order to be successful in delivering high-quality e-services. This paper aims to determine if a categorization of citizen-initiated contacts from a citizen-centric perspective can be a valuable basis for decisions regarding e-service development. The study consisted of three steps. The first step was an examination of the existing related literature, which resulted in the uncovering of the most important aspects of citizens channel choice. The second step consisted of an elaboration of a classification based on perceived task characteristics and a subsequent matching of the categories to desirable channel characteristics. The third and final step consisted of an application of the proposed categorization on a content management system containing all citizen-initiated contacts in a Swedish municipality. The application indicated that the proposed categorization could possibly be used to guide investments in e-services towards a channel-appropriate direction.

Full textFrågeställningarna som presenteras i uppsatsen är om flexibel arbetstid kan leda till att kvinnor och män delar mer jämställt på hushållsarbetet samt om flexibel arbetstid påverkar konflikterna i hushållet om fördelningen av hushållsarbetet och hur parterna arbetar. Bakgrunden till detta är att flextid i debatt framställs som något självklart positivt. Ett hjälpmedel för kvinnor att uppnå balans mellan arbete och familj. Något som i sin tur skulle öka jämställdheten i hemmet och förbättra kvinnors situation på arbetsmarknaden.Utifrån den teoretiska referensramen och den tidigare forskningen formuleras två hypoteser:1.Flexibel arbetstid har ingen betydelse för fördelningen av hushållsarbete.2.Flexibel arbetstid minskar meningsskiljaktigheter med partnern när det gäller hushållsarbete och/eller egen och partners arbetstid.Syftet med uppsatsen är att testa om flexibel arbetstid leder till ökad jämställdhet i hemmet samt mindre slitningar mellan familj och arbetsliv.Studien är kvantitativ och baseras på den femte och senaste av levnadsnivåundersökningarna; LNU 2000 som bygger på intervjuer med 5411 personer om deras levnadsvillkor.I undersökningen medverkar alla yrkesverksamma kvinnor som har en yrkesverksam partner (man) vilket är 919 stycken. Av dessa 919 kvinnor har 58 procent flexibel arbetstid.I den första analysen var syftet att granska sambandet mellan flexibel arbetstid och fördelningen av hushållsarbetet. Resultatet av den linjära regressionsanalysen visar att estimaten inte blir signifikanta när jag kontrollerar för den egna arbetstiden vilket pekar på att det är arbetstidens längd och inte flextiden i sig som påverkar den totala hushållsarbetstiden.I den andra analysen var syftet att titta på om flexibla arbetstider påverkar makarnas konflikter om hushållsarbete och/eller egen eller partnerns arbetstid. Resultatet av den logistiska regressionsanalysen visar att kvinnorna med flextid löper 1,5 gånger så stor risk att ha konflikter om arbetstid och hur hushållsarbetet ska fördelas jämfört med kvinnor utan flexibel arbetstid. Sambandet är signifikant på tioprocentsnivån.

Full textThis study carried out in a northern municipality highlights a group of fifteen municipal employees' experiences of working hours whose scheduling was carried out using time-care system in comparison with a group of seventeen municipal employees who had fixed schedule and the heroma-wishful scheduling system. The survey conducted by quantitative method aimed at a sample of employees in a northern municipality see experiences of working placement with and without time care regarding variability (employer's schedule control) and / or flexibility (the individual's freedom and independence). Thirtytwo respondents answered the questionnaires. The results showed significant that respondents with time-care experienced more of overcommitment, less potential for predictability over a month, less fair leadership and to work more affecting their leisure time than respondents with fixed schedule and the heroma-wishful scheduling system. The results also showed that the staff with fixed/heroma-wishful scheduling system experiences less of overcommitments, more in control of the pace of work, and a higher degree of predictability and that they experienced more equitable leadership than a norm group which can highlight the benefits of wishful schedule. Keywords: irregular working hours, flexible work, flexible working, psychosocial

Full textTitle: “I never have enough time to finish my to-do list” Subtitle: A diary study showing how full-time employees with flexible working hours use their time. Authors: Cecilia Bergqvist and Larglinda Sopaj Advisor: Jean-Charles Languilaire Level: Bachelor thesis in Business Administration, Spring 2019 (15 credits) Keywords: flextime, flexible work, overtime, work-life conflict, boundaryless work, time, time management Question: How do full-time employees with flexible working hours use their time? Purpose: Describe how full-time employees with flexible working hours use their time. Method: The study is based on a practical problem with limited previous studies on the matter. Therefore, an inductive approach was implemented to answer the purpose of the study and the researchers’ scientific approach to data is hermeneutic. Empirical data was collected through qualitative and quantitative questions, and thereafter analyzed in a qualitative manner as a thematic analysis. Empirical framework: Empirical data was collected by a 5-workday diary reported by 15 participants. To participate in the diary study, an individual had to meet two criteria: (1) they must be full-time employee and (2) must have flexible working hours. The diary included both qualitative and quantitative-based questions. Results and conclusion: Since the results show that 73.3% of participants were working overtime, it is reasonable to conclude that flexible working hours can lead to individuals working overtime. Furthermore, due to the overtime, participants’ spare time was often affected negatively. Indeed, many participants had work-life conflicts, where the work-life and the private life were incompatible. This phenomenon is evident through reported cancelled or rebooked physical training due to extended working hours. Additionally, participants who had minor children usually had a more coherent and predictable working schedule. On the other hand, individuals who were not parents of minor children had less coherent and less predictable working schedule. The results from the study also showed that the participants had good time management and used their time effectively, but the consistent imbalance between ingoing work tasks and outgoing work tasks resulted in participants often felt like they never finished their task assignments. The results also showed a slight positive correlation between satisfaction over the work effort of the day and the impact on well-being

Full textThis thesis is a study in how to design a flexible classroom environment with a focus on facilitating and supporting teachers’ and students’ working and learning. The goal is to design a classroom environment that is welcoming while also designed to improve communication between teachers and students. The work is based on the Centre for Multilingualism, an education unit that is a part of Brinellskolan in Fagersta for people between 16 and 65 years who intend to learn the Swedish language and culture. The Centre for Multilingualism’s facilities are currently not well suited to the education that is provided there. The classroom at the centre needs to be better adapted, particularly with regards to physical elements such as storage and acoustics, and display elements such as whiteboards and projectors. At the Centre for Multilingualism the students do not have their own classroom or home-room, so it is important that the classroom they use is flexible and is designed to accommodate many different activities and users at different times. This study is based on theories of spatial design such as form, function, acoustics, colouring and lighting, it also includes some cognitive theories of design. The methods that have been applied in this thesis are spatial analysis, interviews and reference objects. Based on the results of these applied theories and methods a design proposal has been created. The goal of the design proposal was to create design for a flexible, functional, and aesthetically pleasing classroom adaptable to suit a variety of educational activities and also different teachers and students with differing needs. This study is intended to be of interest to educators, designers or researchers in design and teaching methods.

Resumo: Considerando as bases materiais pelas quais o homem, com o seu trabalho - na forma histórica em que se manifesta sob o capitalismo - realiza e controla seu intercâmbio com a natureza (re)produzindo sua existência, e tendo em vista o trabalho pedagógico, no âmbito do processo de trabalho capitalista, como uma das formas históricas mais expressivas de disciplinamento para a vida social e produtiva, buscamos investigar em que grau, o nível alcançado pela base técnica da produção na atualidade, marcado pelo regime de acumulação flexível, dá as condições objetivas para que o a concepção politécnica de educação ingresse, definitivamente, no debate sobre políticas educacionais, ainda que seja no campo do contraditório e das lutas contra-hegemônicas, na medida em que, pelas relações sociais de produção capitalista, o limite é a polivalência.

Full textInom Sveriges bostadsbestånd råder idag obalans vilket historien även vittnar om ofta varit fallet på grund av ett behov som är och alltid varit mycket svårt att förutspå. Samhället genomgår ständigt förändring och dess ekonomiska, sociala och demografiska förutsättningar präglar hur vi ser på bostadsbyggandet. Byggbehovet beräknas inom kommande tioårsperiod i Sverige ligga mellan 592 000 och 664 000 bostäder varav ett årligt behov av cirka 60 000, vilket är relativt höga siffror. Arbetet undersöker därför, genom litteraturstudier och en iterativ projekteringsprocess, vilka metoder som finns tillgängliga för möjligheten att tillgodose både dagens och morgondagens krav på våra bostäder. Dessa metoder sammanställs sedan i form av ett projekteringsverktyg bestående av ett antal kriterier för säkerställandet av ”den flexibla bostaden”. Syftet med arbetet är att undersöka hur flexibilitet kan användas och implementeras för att skapa goda bostäder som enkelt kan anpassas och förändras till nya typer och storlekar efter framtidens bostadsmarknadsbehov. Förmågan till anpassning skulle i detta fall kunna betraktas som en buffert mot marknadens tillkortakommanden och ett föråldrat bostadsbestånd. När en bostad kan projekteras för att med enkelhet kunna anpassas efter rådande förutsättningar och därigenom stå emot tidens tand, skulle en stor del av det oförutsedda behovet förebyggas. Fler bostäder skulle, bli mer attraktiva och funktionella, också över tid. Målet är således att presentera ett förslag för en funktionellt flexibel planlösning som samtidigt uppfyller kraven från gällande svenska regelverk. Resultatet redovisar med hjälp av projekteringsverktyget, bestående av sex kvalitetskriterier för flexibel projektering, tre olika planlösningsalternativ för en specifik byggnad. Hur dessa förhåller- och anpassarsig efter tidens förändrade förutsättningar, behov och efterfrågan i syftet att främja en mer hållbar bostadspolitisk utveckling.

Full textIn today's society, preschools constitute an important cornerstone of the social structure that has been built up. The majority of the country's one to five-year-olds participate today in preschools and in many preschools, the children's groups become larger than what is recommended by the Swedish National Agency for Education. There are clear recommendations and guidelines regarding children's accommodation at preschools from the National Agency for Education and Environmental Management. Even recommendations regarding the size of the children's groups are clear, but in spite of this, they are not observed at many preschools for economic reasons. In connection with literature studies, study visits have been made to four existing preschools where different educators have been interviewed. This has given more knowledge about the strengths and shortcomings of preschools. Together with legal requirements, guidelines and educators' experiences, the pre-school Tårtan has been formed, a preschool built from the children's perspective. The preschool is flexible with a floor plan designed to fit children's groups ranging from 17-24 children. The size of the children's groups should be determined on the basis of the pre-school's financial conditions, but despite the larger children's groups it should not be a risk factor for the business due to the planned planning.

Full textI detta examensarbete har målet varit att skapa en multifunktionell möbel, en produkt där form följer funktion som erbjuder variation både för kroppen och för praktiska funktioner. Syftet med att uppnå detta mål är att uppmuntra till minimering av antalet möbler på en begränsad yta och därmed bidra till minskad konsumtion och erbjuda fler praktiska lösningar i hemmet. Jag vill upplysa om och uppmuntra tanken att möbler kan passa människans flexibla behov. En insamlingsetapp av information från studiebesök, deltagande observationer, en enkät och en omvärldsanalys har lett till en god uppfattning om hur människor kan möblera i framtiden. Under dessa observationsstudier besöktes olika former av studentboende med fokus på att observera förhållande mellan hur möbeln användes och placeras i rummet. I den andra studien som ägde rum på Malmstensskolan skapades ett påhittat rum som fick inredas av olika studenter för att se vilka funktioner möbeln användes till och hur studenten rörde sig i sina möbler. Undersökningen har lett till en omfattande skissprocess med olika skissmetoder. Resultatet är en multifunktionell möbel som ger variation för både sittande och praktiskt användning. Utifrån detta examensarbete tillverkas en prototyp som ska ställas ut vid Malmstens Vårutställning 2017 och vid Vallastaden Bo- och Samhällsexpo 2017.

Full textThe aim of the study was to examine differences in work motivation and job satisfaction among nursing assistants, depending on whether they had a permanent or flexible workplace. The study involved two groups of participants, the one belonging to a permanent ward while the employees of the other group moved around between wards depending on where they were currently needed. The study was conducted as a survey in care administration in a small municipality. A total of 55 people responded to the questionnaire, which was divided into two parts; Basic need satisfaction at work scale measuring the motivation subscales of autonomy, competence and connectedness and Minnesota job satisfaction scale measuring job satisfaction based on intrinsic and extrinsic aspects. The study showed that employees with a flexible workplace had lower motivation and job satisfaction than workers with permanent workplace. Autonomy, connectedness and internal job satisfaction showed a significant result, competence and external job satisfaction tended to significant effect.

Full textBackground: Rocker soles are used to compensate for joint stiffness, reduce high plantar pressure and reduce the bending of the toe joints. Despite this, few studies have investigated if the rocker shoe really reduce the joint movement at the forefoot. There is also a lack of information regarding the importance of the rocker shoes stiffness for the bending moment of the forefoot, at the third rocker. Method: Five healthy women (n=5) walked with three different pairs of shoes, two pairs were modified with the same rocker shape with different stiffness and one pair without a rocker. Five repeated measurements for the three different shoes were collected for all the participants. The dorsal bending moment was analyzed with a sensor sole (VebitoSCIENCE) that replaced the shoes insole. Result: The dorsal bending moment was reduced for all participants with a rocker shoe. Significant reduction of the dorsal bending moment at MTP1, for all participants, when the stiff rocker was compared to the shoe without rocker (94,4 – 20,1 Nmm) and between the stiff and flexible rocker for participants 1,2,4 and 5 (68 -22,2 Nmm). Conclusion: The dorsal bending moment was significantly reduced for MTP 1 and MTP 5 when a rocker shoe was used by healthy women, the study has also shown that the stiffness has an importance in order to achieve a reduction of the dorsal bending moment at MTP.

Full textThis thesis is a study conducted in the field of information design specializing in spatial design. The thesis is about how the design of staging can convey functions and contribute to a versatile space in a learning environment for adults. The study is executed in a studyroom at the Futurum Learning Center in Västerås, where activities of different needs practice in the same area, which lead to uncertainty about the room's functions. The users in the study are aimed at employees, visitors and students in the environment who perform different activities and have different roles in the room. The purpose of this study has been to form an environment with distinct areas that supports the needs of the target group and facilitates users' understanding of the environment. Empirical data has been collected through spatial analysis, observations, notation analysis and interviews. The methods used showed that the design of the room created problems for some activities carried out in the environment. The study has also been based on theories about learning environments, form elements, structure, noise, colour and light. These aspects have shown that a more distinct spatial environment can contribute to a more positive experience for users. The study has resulted in a design proposal where the functions of the studyroom are visible, which makes it easier for the users to understand the environment. The proposal focuses on a flexible spatial design that is adapted to the various activities of the study area.

Full textI och med att städerna blir tätare, befolkningsmängden ökar och byggtakten idag för grundskolor ärlågt kommer allt fler elever att behöva skolplatser som inte finns ännu. Idag är tillfälliga modulhus enlösning på skolbristen, men risken är att dessa tillfälliga modulhus används under en längre tid änplanerad p.g.a bristen på planering av permanenta skollokaler. Ett problem som de befintligagrundskolorna i framförallt innerstäderna har idag är en begränsad markyta för skolgård.Målet med detta arbete är att utforma en permanent grundskola som ska fungera i en innerstadsmiljöoch som trots sin begränsade tomtyta ska kunna uppnå det rekommenderade nyckeltalet för lekytautomhus per elev. För att utforma en sådan grundskola genomfördes utredningar i form avlitteraturstudier, webbsökningar, personliga intervjuer och studiebesök på olika grundskolor.Intervjuerna utfördes på plats med sakkunniga inom planering av grundskolor, med pedagoger på engrundskola samt med erfarna arkitekter och konstruktörer som har hög kompetens inom skolor.Utifrån utredningarna utformades en grundskola som fungerar i en innerstadsmiljö.Grundskolan utformades med hänsyn till internt och externt buller samt har en flexibel utformning föratt kunna anpassas till tomter med olika förutsättningar. Byggnaden har en begränsad tomtyta somerbjuder tillräckligt med lekytor för eleverna i form av balkonger, takterrass samt lekgård på markenunder en del av byggnaden som står på pelare. Vi tror att denna lösning på en grundskola kan på långtsikt vara en bra början till att minska bristen på elevplatser.

Full textFlexibel skolstart är ett förslag från Sveriges Kommuner och Landsting och innebär att ett barn kan börja skolan när det anses vara som mest lämpligt. Lämpligheten skall avgöras av föräldrar i samtal och samverkan med förskolepersonal och skolpersonal. Förslaget går ut på att barn börjar skolan när det är som mest lämpat, vilket kan ske när som helst under året. I förslaget finns en spann mellan barnets femte levnads år till och med dess åttonde där det finns möjlighet att välja sin skolstart utifrån individens förutsättningar och vilja. Syftet med vårt arbete var att ge en helhetsbild av det pågående förändringsarbetet för ett livslångt lärande, en flexibel skolstart - flexibel skolgång. Vi undersökte synen på en flexibel skolstart hos de verksamma i försökskommunerna, med tonvikt på konsekvenser. I arbetet med att behandla och bearbeta frågan har vi tagit hjälp av John Deweys teorier. Det livslånga lärandet och den flexibla skolgången/skolstarten är en enligt oss en naturlig förlängning av den reform som på 1990-talet förde in sexåringarna i skolan. Dokument som läroplanerna och IUP:n framhäver redan en strävan mot en starkare individualisering i skolan och mot en mer sammanhållen skolform. Vår undersökning är baserad på tidigare svensk forskning, John Deweys teorier samt en öppen enkät utskickad till Sveriges försöksverksamheter. Efter analysering och tolkning av vårt resultat anser vi att konsekvenserna av en ökad flexibilitet skulle kunna gynna eleverna och deras lärande. Med en slopad timplan, en stark och tydlig struktur (både för eleven och pedagogen) samt en flexibel skolgång skulle visionen om en skola för alla, göras fullt möjlig. Men arbetet kommer att kräva tid, engagemang och en attitydförändring kring skolans uppgift och utformning.

This thesis seeks to find a new approach/method towards urbanization in existing low density neighborhoods in major metropolitan cities in the United States. The near South side of the city of Chicago (a city that carries a history as the most modern city in the world in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century) will be taken as a site for development. The site of the Illinois Institute of Technology has an associated history dating back to the nineteenth century as well as an extensive housing development built as a post world war two response to a lack of housing in major metropolitan cities. Today, the area stands deserted, with a few housing tower blocks that remain occupied. The idea of flexible urbanism that would benefit the Chicago neighborhood can be traced back in history to the eighteenth century, a period during which rationality created a new type of society. Rationality is fundamental to this thesis, taken to its hilt with the idea that extreme rationality could lead to a sense of madness and diversity in options and ways of living in order to organize society today.
(cont.) The idea of extreme rationality can be seen through history with the development of the prisons and asylums in the eighteenth and nineteenth century, and later in the design of the microraion, the unit of neighborhood development in the Constructivist period of the Soviet Planning process. During that period the garden city movement grew in the United Kingdom propagating the return of nature in the design of cities. A comparison to the garden city would be another new Town in England: Milton Keynes, a city where land was distinguished as separately zoned areas. These ideas of rationality and rule based zoning systems are fundamental to this thesis, and taken to its extreme to understand the city parametrically, in three dimensions. Finally, the application of this new approach towards densification shows that this strategy is one that can be used universally to revitalize, reinvigorate, and re-emphasize the use of extreme rationality in order to create vitality in cities, and diversity in use.

Full textThis report will be presenting the Bachelor of Science Thesis performed in the area of Technical Design completed during the spring of 2020. The project was performed at the Royal Institute of Technology. The goal with this project was to develop a flexible ladder, especially adjusted for commercial use at home, with the purpose to cater for the needs for the targeted group regarding the use of a ladder in stairs. The project started with an analytical phase where information regarding customer needs, market and standardized measurements as well as information about relevant regulations were gathered. This phase resulted in a technical list of demands which the result of the project would have to meet. The list of demands and all other information from the analytical phase generated three concepts which in different ways each met the specified requirements. The first concept, the Telescope, was a solution which through a telescopic mechanism managed to minimize its size in a very efficient way. Next concept, named Rails, used stepless adjustment of the length of its legs. The concept was with this technique able to place in which ever stair, no matter its dimensions, and featured a climb where the user would climb in the direction of the stair, instead of the other way, which is the common way to climb a ladder in a stair for the time being. The third concept, the Attachment, was based in the idea that the user would already have a ladder at home, and only needed a complementary addition which would enable use of the ladder in the stairs. The winning concept became concept number two, Rails, which ensured that the user could climb the ladder in a safe and secure way. The components of this concept were further developed to cater for the user’s physical, cognitive and emotional needs in a way to ensure that the specifications of needs were met.

Full textThe corrosion of steel elements embedded in concrete was identified as the main cause of structural deteriorations and deficiencies in buildings. Repair and rehabilitation costs in the USA, Canada and most European countries represent a substantial percentage of expenses related to infrastructures. Alternative FRP reinforcements in glass, carbon or basalt have been studied for the past twenty years owing to their resistance to corrosion, their light weight and their considerable tensile strength. The mechanical properties of fiber-reinforced polymers with an elastic behavior differ to the mechanical properties of steel, with an elastic-plastic behavior. This induces a change of the dimension calculations of the structure. In particular, in the case of a standard reinforced concrete beam, the flexural ultimate strength would usually be located in the reinforcements in traction for steel reinforcements, while a crushing failure of the concrete would be preferable in FRP beams. The objective of this thesis is to better understand the system {concrete + fiber-reinforced polymer reinforcements} in view of dimensioning building structures with these alternative reinforcements. These FRP reinforcements have already been used for bridge decks and magnetic suspension train tracks but no applications have been found for buildings except a few rare cases of hospital buildings or rooms adjoined to others containing magnetic apparatus, for example Magnetic Resonance Imagery (MRI), which are reinforced with FRP reinforcements to avoid resonance problems. Even if FRP reinforcements would appear to be a promising solution in terms of corrosion problems, designers and engineers have been confronted with many questions relative to the use of these materials in a building application, both in terms of the mechanics involved for the structures and economic and environmental issues. This thesis is therefore focused on the design aspect of concrete structures comprising innovating and more durable reinforced concrete

Full textThe purpose of this study was to investigate whether the use of flexible working hourspredicts intrinsic work motivation. A web-based survey containing 28 questions was sent to152 officials in a public organization, a total of 80 respondents participated in the survey. Tomeasure intrinsic work motivation, the Basic Psychological Need Satisfaction at Work(BPNS-W) scale was used. It contains measures of autonomy, competence and relatednessand is based on self-determination theory (SDT). The results showed that the use of flexibleworking hours significantly predicts the dimensions of autonomy, competence and relatednessthat lead to intrinsic work motivation. The conclusion of the study was that the use of flexibleworking hours can predict intrinsic work motivation to some extent.

Procura-se estabelecer relações, ligar factos para uma coerência urbana e fisicamente percorrível, que lide com o património passado na perspectiva de uma Lisboa futura. Entender as necessidades presentes e projectá-las no futuro está na base da intervenção urbana que se pretende, encarando a cidade como um organismo vivo, evolutivo, que se transforma para que não se torne obsoleto. Tais transformações reflectem-se nas diferentes escalas do habitar, desde a necessidade de gerir fluxos à escala urbana, que motivou o projecto de uma estação de metro de superfície, à realidade do interior doméstico, cuja composição se questiona perante as alterações à estrutura familiar e de convivências geracionais, e pelas quais se desenvolveram tipologias de habitação colectiva. A flexibilidade, porém, nenhum dado oferece sobre o contexto em que se opera, pelo que se explora o conceito da parede habitada como solução simultaneamente tecnológica e representativa, considerando o seu legado na arquitectura portuguesa já enunciado por Kubler.
ABSTRACT: Marvila presents itself as a fragmented territory, a result of the accumulating of urban phenomena of different times, which co-exist in a simply circumstantial situation. It is searched to establish relationships, connect facts for a urban coherence that’s physically walkable, dealing with the past patrimony in the perspective of a future Lisbon. Understanding the present necessities and projecting them in the future is the base of the intended urban intervention, looking at the city as a living organism, evolutionary, that transforms itself so that is doesn’t become obsolete. Such transformations are reflected in the different scales of dwelling, from the need to manage flows at the urban scale, which motivated the project for a tram station, to the reality of the domestic realm, that has been questioned facing the changes in the family structure and in the generational relationships, for which were developed typologies of collective housing. Flexibility, although, doesn’t offer any clue about the context it is being applied to, and consequentially it is explored the concept of the living wall as a both technological and representative solution, considering its legacy in the portuguese arquitecture enunciated by Kubler.

Full textFlextime is well implemented in many organizational cultures . In the study investigates how flexible hours, as an institution , affect the legitimacy of an organization based on an institutional theoretical framework. Institutional theory describes how the rules, standards and norms pressure on organizations' actions. The study is a qualitative case study with interview and document study to create an understanding of flextimes' future impact of legitimacy for the organization. The conclusion shows that there is a strong normative source of legitimacy as a result of flextime . The level of legitimacy flextime gives depends on who or what groups, inside or outside the organization that assesses.

The findings may be considered preliminary as this experimental study was limited to just one of the many different possible situations of tympanoplasty and it involved a small sample size. Nevertheless, the results with the flexible TORP were promising and could encourage further investigations on such prostheses.

Full textAs the research area of wearable electronics is still relatively new, material science with this focus opens plenty of unexplored fields. That is why a study characterizing the unexplored composite system of silk fibroin and MXene (Silk/MXene) was conducted. These two biocompatible materials are complementary with regard to the requirements for wearable electronics materials. Silk fibroin dispose an ionic conductivity and solid flexibility, while MXene brings mechanical strength and significant increase of electrical conductivity. The reinforced hydrogel materials were studied at two concentrations of fillers, 1% and 5% and compared to pristine silk fibroin. All three materials were studied from the point of view of their structure, mechanical properties, behaviour in aqueous environment, biodegradability and electrical conductivity, both static and dynamic. Nanocomposite systems of silk fibroin and MXene have shown a potential for being used in the intended application area, as Silk/MXene 5% film displays good stability, conductivity with high andstable Gauge factor.

Full textFörmaksflimmer är ett hjärtfel som gör att hjärtslagen blir ovanligt snabba och/eller oregelbundna. Trots att det inte bevisats vara direkt dödligt än, ökar det kraftigt risken för att utveckla ytterligare medicinska besvär, bland annat fem gånger större risk att drabbas av stroke. Utbredningen av förmaksflimmer har under de senaste decennierna ökat avsevärt över hela världen och under 2014 uppskattades det att ungefär 2 % av den europeiska befolkning var drabbade. Den här siffran förväntas dock fortsätta öka under de kommande åren och decennierna. Därför, för att i största mån lindra smärta samt förhindra dödsfall, är det mycket viktigt att det finns ett effektivt sätt att behandla tillståndet. I nuläget innefattas behandling av medicin, elektrokonvertering eller vävnadsablation. Det här examensarbetet fokuserar på ablation, närmare bestämt kryoballongsablation, vilket är ett minimalinvasivt ingrepp som innebär att en kryoballongskateter förs in genom en blodådra (ofta via ett snitt i ljumsken) in i hjärtat. Väl inne i förmakskammarna kan ballongen blåsas upp, läggas emot den felaktiga vävnaden och sedan fyllas med flytande kväveoxid som förångas och fryser vävnaden vilket isolerar strömmarna som ger upphov till den felaktiga hjärtrytmen. Målet med det här examensarbetet är att fästa flexibla kretskort på utsidan av dessa kryoballonger, vilka då ska kunna känna av fysisk kontakt med vävnaden och informera operatören om detta innan frysningen sker. Därmed bör sannolikheten för lyckad ablation öka. Tre prototyper tillverkades med polyuretanballonger, flexibla kretskort och ett biokompatibelt, flexibelt cyanoakrylatlim. Kretskorten arrangerades i olika mönster för respektive prototyper för att undersöka vilken konfiguration som skulle passa ändamålet bäst. Det visade sig att smala kretskort placerade längs med ballongen axiellt och jämnt utspridda längs med omkretsen gav bäst resultat. Däremot höll inte limmet så bra som förväntat vilket troligtvis handlar om användarfel vid limningen men en vidare utredning kan vara att önska för att säkerställa att limmet är kompatibelt med övriga material.

Full textThe project, Flexible Snowboard System, has been carried out by the project group independently and is a module developed for snowboarders, ski rentals and ski schools. The problems of today’s solutions are that they cause the user an inconvenient standing position when riding the ski lift or skating the transportation slope, also mounting, adjustments and disassembling of the bindings are time consuming and brings undesired wear to the screws and screw holes. In addition any adjustments require that the user steps out of the bindings and have tools at hand.
Flexible Snowboard System is a universal module which means that it can be assembled with all of today’s snowboards and bindings. The module enables the user to do standing position adjustments with 360 degrees rotation within a 10 centimeters long interval along the snowboard’s length direction and saves time and wear when assembling/disassembling. Flexible Snowboard System includes few components which makes manufacturing and assembling easy and inexpensive. By an easy maneuver the user can adjust the standing position as he or she prefer.
The result of this project is a prototype which firstly eases the snowboard session for the user when the module enables different standing options optimized for conditions like powder, park or piste. Flexible Snowboard System offers a great opportunity for ski rentals and ski schools to increase customer values on account of minimized idle time. The implementation of our product would bring low investment costs because it’s universal and fit the equipment they use today, easy to manufacture and assembly.
The carry through of project Flexible Snowboard Binding has been according to dynamic product development and the project group has had great use of the different methods and tools such as idea generating, model making, evaluation matrixes and testing.

Full textBakgrund: Vi anser att en framtida utmaning är att bygga in en flexibilitet i den fysiska distributionen. Detta innebär att ett detaljhandelsföretag skall ha möjlighet att växla mellan att stundtals distribuera en och samma produkt via centrallager och stundtals direkt från producent till varuhus i förädlingskedjan, en flexibel fysisk distribution.
Syfte: Syftet är att utröna förutsättningar för och konsekvenser av en flexibel fysisk distribution för de olika aktörerna i en förädlingskedja, i vilken detaljhandelsföretaget besitter en påtaglig maktposition.
Genomförande: Empirisk data har samlats in genom en fallstudie i IKEA:s förädlingskedja.
Resultat: En integrerad förädlingskedja med ett tydligt supply chain synsätt, i vilken samtliga aktörer samarbetar och har incitament till medverkan, utgör en förutsättning för en flexibel fysisk distribution. Vi vill även framhålla vikten av att de produkter i ett detaljhandelsföretags sortiment som säljer bäst och endast de varuhus med störst kapacitet, bör ingå. Om den fysiska distributionen skall kunna växla i en förädlingskedja måste berörda aktörer vidare erhålla en planeringshorisont. Detta implicerar att skiften avseende fysisk distribution måste ske säsongsvis och då företrädesvis med direktleveranser i högsäsong. Den flexibla fysiska distributionen kommer att få konsekvenser gällande lager och därmed kostnader för aktörerna.
