Guideline för en pocket park
I takt med att pocket park som begrepp blivit allt
populÀrare att anvÀnda i samma mening som modern
stadsutveckling och förtÀtning av stadskÀrnan, har
det ocksÄ vÀckt vÄrt intresse att utreda vad begreppet
verkligen innebÀr. Att begreppet pocket park Àr
i ropet finns det ingen tvekan om. Stora stÀder som
New York, London och Köpenhamn har med pocket
park i sina stadsplanerings- och utvecklingsprogram. I
Sverige Àr det fortfarande ett relativt okÀnt begrepp.
I dagslÀget finns det ingen generellt accepterad
beskrivning för hur en pocket park ska se ut, hur stor
till ytan den bör vara eller vilka bestÄndsdelar som
ska finnas med.
Vill vi undersöka vad begreppet pocket park innebÀr
och hur vi i framtiden kan bygga bra och funktionella
pocket parks i staden. Vi har som mÄl att identifiera
och bryta ner begreppet pocket park och undersöka
vilka bestÄndsdelar och funktioner som Àr mer betydelsefulla
Ă€n andra i en pocket park?
Processen startar med en litteraturstudie som sedan
ska ligga till grund för en analys som belyser vilka de
viktiga bestÄndsdelarna och funktionerna Àr för en
pocket park. Analysen kommer att redovisas i form
av en matris över 28 pocket parks frÄn lÀnderna
Sverige, Danmark, England, Australien, Spanien,
Frankrike och USA. MÄlet med analysen Àr att kunna
jÀmföra en större mÀngd pocket parks pÄ ett enkelt
och tydligt sÀtt. Att kunna utlÀsa information pÄ tvÀren
och pÄ sÄ sÀtt kunna identifiera tydliga mönster och
trender, ofta förekommande bestÄndsdelar, parkernas
storlek, lokalisering osv.
Slutsatsen presenteras i form av en checklista som
baseras pÄ resultat frÄn analysen tillsammans med
stödjande forskning som underlag. Checklistan redovisas
pÄ följande vis:
⹠NödvÀndiga bestÄndsdelar och funktioner
för en pocket park
⹠LÀmpliga bestÄndsdelar och funktioner för
en pocket park
⹠Inte nödvÀndiga bestÄndsdelar och funktioner
för en pocket park
⹠Undvik följande förutsÀttningar för en
pocket park
DÀrefter presenteras ett gestaltningsförslag av en
pocket park som bygger pÄ slutsatser och resultat
frÄn litteraturstudien och analysen.
VÄr förhoppning Àr Àven att checklistan ska kunna
anvÀndas av kommuner och branschfolk som ett
hjÀlpmedel eller verktyg vid planering- och projekteringsskedet för en pocket park.The pocket park as a concept has become increasingly
popular to use in the same sense that modern
urban development and densification of the city center,
this made it interesting to investigate the meaning
of the term. The concept of pocket park is in no doubt
very popular. Large cities like New York, London and
Copenhagen have put pocket parks into its city planning
and development programs. In Sweden it is still
a relatively unknown concept.In the current situation,
there is no generally accepted description of how a
pocket park should be designed, including size and
what elements are a part of it.
We want to explore what the term pocket park means
and how beautiful and functional pocket parks can
be built in the future. We aim to identify and break
down the concept of pocket park and examine which
elements and features that are more significant than
others.
The process starts with a literature review, which will
then be the basis for an analysis that highlights what
the essential components and functions are for a
pocket park. The analysis will be provided in the form
of a matrix of 28 pocket parks from countries Sweden,
Denmark, England, Australia, Spain, France and
the United States of America. The goal of the analysis
is to provide a clear comparison of pocket parks, thereby
identifying distinctive patterns and trends, often
occurring components, size, location etc.
The conclusion is presented in the form of a checklist
that is based on results from the analysis along with
supporting research. The checklist is presented in the
following manner:
âą Necessary components and functions of a
pocket park
âą Appropriate components and functions of a
pocket park
âą Unnecessary components and functions of a
pocket park
âą Components and functions of a pocket park to be
Avoided
A design proposal of a pocket park is presented
based on the conclusions and findings from the literature
review and analysis.
Our hope is that this research can be used as a tool
by municipalities and industry professionals when
planning and designing a pocket park
The Impact of Having a Baby on the Level and Content of Womenâs Well-Being
The primary objective of this study was to more fully understand the impact of having a baby on womenâs well-being by attending to both the level and the content of well-being. To cover the judgemental and affective aspects of well-being we included global measures of life satisfaction and well-being and affective experience measures derived from the day reconstruction method. In a sample of 19 first-time mothers no differences between pre and postnatal reports of general life satisfaction, depression, anxiety, and experienced positive and negative affect were found, suggesting that the arrival of the newborn baby does not universally impact on womenâs level of well-being. Changes in the content of well-being were studied by examining changes in the way women experience specific activities and interactions with various social partners. There appeared to be an upward shift in experienced positive affect during active leisure and a slight decrease in negative affect during time spent with relatives. The results are discussed in light of previously documented changes across the transition to motherhood in negative mood states, time use, womenâs evaluation of various aspects of daily life, and relational satisfaction
Bright light therapy versus physical exercise to prevent co-morbid depression and obesity in adolescents and young adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
Background: The risk for major depression and obesity is increased in adolescents and adults with attention-deficit / hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and adolescent ADHD predicts adult depression and obesity. Non-pharmacological interventions to treat and prevent these co-morbidities are urgently needed. Bright light therapy (BLT) improves dayâ night rhythm and is an emerging therapy for major depression. Exercise intervention (EI) reduces obesity and improves depressive symptoms. To date, no randomized controlled trial (RCT) has been performed to establish feasibility and efficacy of these interventions targeting the prevention of co-morbid depression and obesity in ADHD. We hypothesize that the two manualized interventions in combination with mobile health-based monitoring and reinforcement will result in less depressive symptoms and obesity compared to treatment as usual in adolescents and young adults with ADHD. Methods: This trial is a prospective, pilot phase-IIa, parallel-group RCT with three arms (two add-on treatment groups [BLT, EI] and one treatment as usual [TAU] control group). The primary outcome variable is change in the Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology total score (observer-blinded assessment) between baseline and ten weeks of intervention. This variable is analyzed with a mixed model for repeated measures approach investigating the treatment effect with respect to all three groups. A total of 330 participants with ADHD, aged 14 â < 30 years, will be screened at the four study centers. To establish effect sizes, the sample size was planned at the liberal significance level of α = 0.10 (two-sided) and the power of 1-ÎČ = 80% in order to find medium effects. Secondary outcomes measures including change in obesity, ADHD symptoms, general psychopathology, health-related quality of life, neurocognitive function, chronotype, and physical fitness are explored after the end of the intervention and at the 12-week follow-up. This is the first pilot RCT on the use of BLT and EI in combination with mobile health-based monitoring and reinforcement targeting the prevention of co-morbid depression and obesity in adolescents and young adults with ADHD. If at least medium effects can be established with regard to the prevention of depressive symptoms and obesity, a larger scale confirmatory phase-III trial may be warranted.The trial is funded by the EU Framework Programme for Research and
Innovation, Horizon 2020 (Project no. 667302). Funding period: January
2016âDecember 2020. This funding source had no role in the design of this
study and will not have any role during its execution, analyses, interpretation
of the data, or decision to submit results.

Development of steering column with upper telescopic function
I denna rapport redogör projektgruppen för resultatet i kursen examensarbete 15hp (C-nivĂ„) utfört pĂ„ maskiningenjörsprogrammet, inriktning produktutveckling och design, vid Jönköpings Tekniska Högskola. Examensarbetet har utförts i samarbete med Kongsberg Power Product Systems AB i Ljungsarp. Syftet var att utveckla en ny typ av övre teleskopfunktion till Kongsbergs modulsystem för stĂ€llbara rattstĂ€nger. UtgĂ„ngspunkten i projektet var att skapa en mer ergonomisk förarmiljö, nĂ„got som Kongsbergs kunder och marknaden för lĂ„ngsamtgĂ„ende fordon allt mer efterfrĂ„gar. Kraven som stĂ€llts pĂ„ projektet bestod i största del av axiella och radiella krafter som konstruktionen skulle klara av, samt den axiella förlĂ€ngningen av rattstĂ„ngen. För att strukturera arbetet har en produktutvecklingsmetod frĂ„n boken The Mechanical Design Process av David G. Ullman anvĂ€nts. Dessa metoder har anvĂ€nts i genomförandefasen för att leda fram till resultatet. Projektet har resulterat i ett koncept som löser Kongsbergs krav pĂ„ förbĂ€ttrad förarergonomi.In this report the project team describes the outcome of the course degree project 15 ECTS (C level) performed at the program of mechanical engineering, targeted product development and design, at Jönköping University. The degree project has been carried out in cooperation with Kongsberg Power Products Systems AB in Ljungsarp. The aim was to develop a new type of upper telescopic function to the Kongsberg modular system for adjustable steering columns. The starting point of the project was to create a more ergonomic driver's environment, as Kongsbergâs customers and the market for slow vehicles are increasingly demanding. The requirements placed on the project consisted in the main part of the forces that construction would meet, and the axial extension of the steering column. To structure the work a product development methodology from the book The Mechanical Design Process by David G. Ullman has been used. The project has resulted in a concept that solves Kongsberg's demands for improved driver ergonomics
Kehityspolku vanhuspalvelujen kotihoidon riittÀvyys -seurannan tiedonkeruun uudistamiselle
IkÀÀntyneen vÀestön toimintakyvyn tukemisesta sekÀ iÀkkÀiden sosiaali- ja terveyspalveluista annetun lain (980/2012, ns. Vanhuspalvelulaki) perussÀÀnnöksen mukaan vanhuspalveluissa toimivassa toimintayksikössÀ on oltava sellainen henkilöstörakenne, joka vastaa toimintayksikössÀ olevien asiakkaiden mÀÀrÀÀ ja heidÀn toimintakykynsÀ edellyttÀmÀÀ palvelun tarvetta ja joka turvaa heille laadukkaat palvelut. Vanhuspalvelulaki uudistui 1.1.2023 siten, ettÀ se painottaa kotihoidon resurssien vahvistamista, laadun varmistamista ja niiden seurantaa. Terveyden ja hyvinvoinnin laitos (THL) on seurannut vuodesta 2013 lain toimeenpanoa ja toteutumista Vanhuspalvelujen tila -seurannalla kÀyttÀen erillistiedonkeruita. Osana Vanhuspalvelujen tila -seurantaa toteutetaan seurannat ympÀrivuorokautiselle palveluasumiselle ja kotihoidolle. Molemmissa seurataan toimintayksikön henkilöstörakennetta ja mÀÀrÀÀ sekÀ asiakkaiden mÀÀrÀÀ. YmpÀrivuorokautisen palveluasumisen osalta seurataan lisÀksi henkilöstömitoitusta, ja kotihoidon osalta kÀyntimÀÀriÀ. Uudistunut laki edellyttÀÀ intensiivisempÀÀ seurantaa. Tiedonkeruun syklin tiivistyessÀ erillistiedonkeruu ei ole ratkaisu, vaan on siirryttÀvÀ kertakirjaamisperiaatteella toimivaan tietojÀrjestelmistÀ tapahtuvaan tiedonkeruuseen. Työpaperin tarkoitus on kertoa kotihoidon riittÀvyys -seurannan nykytila ja tuoda esiin ja arvioida, miten kotihoidon seurantaa tulisi kehittÀÀ, jotta sen avulla pystyttÀisiin vastaamaan mm. kysymykseen; saako kotihoidon asiakas palvelupÀÀtöksessÀ tai -sopimuksessa luvatut palvelut. Julkaisuun on pyritty tuomaan kehitysaskeleet, joita askeltaen pÀÀstÀisiin kohti toivottua pÀÀmÀÀrÀÀ. Työpaperi on laadittu tietotuotannon kehittÀmistyön tueksi ja raportoimiseksi
