Med det rådande klimathotet ställs högre krav på fastighetsbranschen att minska sin energianvändning. Denna rapport fokuserar på energieffektivisering i KTHs, Kungliga Tekniska Högskolans, huvudbyggnad som förvaltas av Akademiska Hus. Huset, som är en av KTHs minst energieffektiva hus, är byggt i nationalromantisk byggstil och invigdes 1917. Idag klassificeras byggnaden som en blå byggnad, enligt Stockholms Stadsmuseum, vilket är deras högsta klassificering och betyder att den har ett högt historiskt värde. Denna rapport studerar och utvärderar de energibesparingsåtgärder som Akademiska Hus har genomfört i huvudbyggnaden sedan 2016. Ytterligare studeras andra energieffektiviseringsåtgärder i andra hus med kulturhistoriska värden. En undersökning över befintliga tekniker och metoder för energieffektivisering redovisas även i rapporten. Resultatet visar att många energibesparingsåtgärder har genomförts i huset och lett till förbättring men denna förbättring motsvarar inte Akademiska Hus mål om en energiminskning på minst 3 % per år. Det finns nya tekniker som kan implementeras i olika delar av huset för att minska energianvändningen utan att påverka det kulturhistoriska värdet. En av dessa tekniker är att optimera styrning av värme- och kylsystemet.
With the current climate threat, higher demands are placed on the real estate industry to reduce its energy use. This report focuses on the energy efficiency in KTH's, Royal Institute of Technology’s, main building, which is managed by Akademiska Hus. The building, which is one of KTH's least energy-efficient buildings, is built in a national romantic building style and opened in 1917. Today, the building is classified as a blue building, according to the Stockholm City Museum, which is their highest classification and means that it has a high cultural-historical value. This report studies and evaluates the energy saving measures that Akademiska Hus has implemented in the main building since 2016. Furthermore, energy saving measures are being studied in other houses with cultural-historical values. A study of other technologies and methods for energy conservation has also been done in the report. The results shows that many energy saving measures have been implemented in the main building and have led to improvement, but this improvement does not meet Akademiska Hus's goal of an energy reduction of at least 3 % per year. There are new technologies that can be implemented in different parts of the building to reduce the energy used. One of these methods is the optimization of heating and cooling system.​

Att utnyttja befintliga byggnader som annars står tomma kan vara en del av lösningen på problemet gällande bostadsbrist i Sverige. Vid ändring av äldre bebyggelse som är det viktigt att beakta de kulturhistoriska och arkitektoniska värdena. Vid ombyggnation till bostäder och energieffektivisering är det viktigt att detta genomförs varsamt på äldre värdefull bebyggelse. Syftet med arbetet är att bidra till en ökad förståelse för hur en äldre byggnads arkitektoniska och kulturhistoriska värden kan bevaras trots att det sker en funktionsändring från en verksamhet till en annan. Målet för arbetet är att undersöka hur en gammal skolbyggnad kan ändras till bostäder samtidigt som kulturella och arkitektoniska värden bibehålls, energianvändningen minskar och funktionella bostäder skapas. Arbetet baseras på en fallstudiebyggnad som är en skolbyggnad från 1850 som ligger i Vanstad, Skåne.   En inledande litteraturgenomgång behandlar äldre bygg- och installationstekniska lösningar, kulturvärde och kvalitéer i bostäder. Vilka regelverk som skall följas vid ombyggnation och ändrad användning, utformningskrav enligt BBR och energieffektiviseringsåtgärder vid ombyggnation behandlas också. Även fyra exempel gällande energieffektiviseringar av äldre tegelbyggnader studeras. Fallstudiebyggnaden är inte K-märkt men pekas ut som värdefull och värd att bevara i handlingar tillhandahållna av Sjöbo kommun. Generellt så rekommenderas det att byggnader uppförda före 1900-talet skall bevaras i så autentiskt skick som möjligt.   Utifrån insamlad information genom inventering av arkivmaterial och inventering av fallstudiebyggnaden tas en beskrivning av fallstudiebyggnaden fram, som ligger till grund för utvecklingen av ett utformningsförslag för ändring av skolbyggnaden till bostadsändamål. Det efterfrågas mindre lägenheter från Sjöbo kommun vilket utformningsförslaget tagit hänsyn till. Utformningsförslaget resulterade i 7 stycken lägenheter där 6 av 7 har en boarea mellan 35 m2 och 55 m2. På grund av byggnadens ålder och äldre byggnadstekniker så når byggnaden inte upp till dagens energikrav. Förslaget till bostadsutformning inkluderar åtgärder som bedöms vara möjliga att genomföra för att sänka energianvändningen. Varje lägenhet granskas också för att kontrollera vilka kvalitéer som uppnås i bostäderna. De åtgärder som förespråkas är: tilläggsisolering av ytterväggar och yttertak, tätning av klimatskal, byte av ventilationssystem, uppvärmningssystem, installation av solceller samt förbättring av fönster och dörrar.   Resultatet visar hur det går att utforma funktionella bostäder i en äldre kulturhistoriskt värdefull byggnad. Att tillämpa energieffektiviseringsåtgärder för minskad energianvändning och förbättrat inomhusklimat påvisas också i resultatet. Gällande lönsamheten i genomförandet sett till ombyggnation, ändrad användning, energieffektivisering och lägenhetsutformning kan vidare studier ske mer ingående på den konkreta energibesparingen och LCC-kalkyler för vidare ekonomisk insikt.
To use existing buildings that would otherwise be empty could be a part of the solution regarding the housing shortage in Sweden. When changing older buildings, it is important to consider the cultural and architectural values. When changing usage to dwellings and improving energy efficiency it is important that it is carried out carefully on older valuable buildings. The purpose of the work is to contribute to an increased understanding of how the architectural and cultural-historical values of an older building can be preserved despite a change in use from one function to another. The goal of the work is to examine how a cultural-historical valuable building can be changed to functional dwellings in conjunction with reduced energy usage. The work is based on a case study of a school building from 1850 in Vanstad, Skåne.   An introducing review of theory is a bout older building and installation solution, cultural value and qualities in dwellings. Which acquis to follow during reconstruction and change of usage, design requirements according to BBR and actions to reduce energy usage. Four different studies regarding reduction in energy usage on older brick buildings are studied. The case study building is not K-marked but is pointed out as a valuable building that is worth preserving in documents from Sjöbo. It is recommended that buildings constructed before the 1900s should be kept as authentic as possible.   Based on information gathered through inventory of archive material and inventory of the case study building a description on the case study building is made which is the basis for a design proposal for changed usage from school building to housing. Sjöbo is requesting smaller apartments which the design proposal considers. The design proposal resulted in 7 apartments where 6 out of 7 has a living space between 35 m2 and 55 m2. Because of the buildings age and older building techniques the building does not reach todays energy requirement. The design proposal documents which actions that is possible to implement to reduce the energy usage. Every apartment is reviewed to control which qualities is achieved in the dwellings. The measures advocated is: additional insulation on walls and roof, sealing of the climate shell, change of ventilations system, heating system, installation of solar cells and improvement of window and doors.   The result shows how it is possible to design functional dwellings in an older cultural-historical valuable building. To apply energy efficiency measures to reduce the energy usage and improving the indoor climate is also demonstrated in the result. Regarding profitability considering reconstruction, changed usage, reduction in energy usage and design of dwellings more in-depth studies could be made regarding the actual energy savings and LCC calculations for further economic insight.

This Bachelor’s Thesis discusses the Swedish artist and photographer Birger Gabriel Sjöberg. He was born in Varberg, Sweden in the year of 1835 and died 40 years later, in the year of 1875. During his short-lived life he accomplished creating both paintings and photographs connected to his hometown. These are now of value by culture-historical means. By answering question formulations regarding his living, education and esthetic production, the main purpose is to give a synoptic presentation of both his life and work. Since Sjöberg is not a part of the widely known context of art history, the thesis also strives to bring a light to a mostly unknown and unwritten artist. This study contains of two main parts, one biographical part, and one iconological part were a chosen number of his paintings and photographs are discussed. Throughout the iconological part, the works are analysed by means of Heinrich Wölfflin’s Principles of Art History. The introducing of the works is to give an overall apprehension about what he achieved concerning his creating in both work and private life.

This report is the result of a degree project in building engineering, at an advanced level. The project evaluated a building from a technical and historical point of view, and focused on its energy consumption, particularly the energy used for heating. The building in question was a small apartment building in Strömsholm, Sweden. It was made in 1902, from vertical logs, a not so common form of the traditional log house. The goal of the project was to evaluate if the energy consumption could be reduced in accordance with building preservation regulations, that is without damaging any of the building’s cultural or historical values. The building was surveyed with the help of archive and literature studies, interviews and inspections. Based on these findings, supplementary insulation on the inner side of the climate screen was decided on. The program IDA Indoor Climate and Energy was used to make computer simulations of the energy consumption of the building for five different alternatives of supplementary insulation. Part of the project was also to investigate whether IDA Indoor Climate and Energy was suitable for energy simulations of old buildings. The moisture balance of the outer walls was calculated manually to see if the supplemental insulation constituted a risk when it came to the moisture sensitivity of the construction. The result of the computer simulations, combined with building physics, shows that the energy consumption for heating could be reduced, especially if the roof was to be insulated. However, these results cannot and should not be seen as anything but indications, because of the uncertainty of the input data. The data on ventilation and air flows was considered to be one of the main sources of error. Furthermore, there were signs that the design of the computer models was far from optimal. The result of the moisture calculations shows that the moisture sensitivity is indeed increased. IDA Indoor Climate and Energy was judged as more suitable for simulations of new buildings than of old ones, due to the complexity of the latter, but the program can still be used as an aid for energy evaluations of old buildings if it is used in the right way.
Denna rapport är resultatet av ett examensarbete i byggnadsteknik på avancerad nivå. Arbetet gick ut på att undersöka en byggnad ur ett tekniskt och kulturhistoriskt perspektiv, med inriktning på hushållning av energi. Föremålet för undersökningen var ett flerbostadshus i restimmer, uppfört 1902 i Strömsholm, Västmanland. Målet var att undersöka om byggnadstekniska åtgärder behövdes för att minska energiåtgången, främst den för aktiv uppvärmning, i byggnaden. Dessa åtgärder skulle utformas så att byggnadens bevarandevärda särdrag inte går förlorade, i enlighet med Plan- och bygglagens bestämmelser om ändring av byggnader. Med hjälp av arkivsökningar, litteraturstudier, intervjuer och undersökningar kartlades byggnaden. Utifrån dess förutsättningar bestämdes förslag för energibesparande åtgärder, fem olika alternativ för invändig tilläggsisolering. För att beräkna byggnadens energiåtgång och hur mycket de olika alternativen skulle kunna påverka denna gjordes simuleringar i programmet IDA Indoor Climate and Energy. En av frågeställningarna i arbetet var huruvida detta program var lämpligt för energisimuleringar av äldre byggnader eller inte. Beräkningar av den relativa luftfuktigheten i ytterväggen gjordes för hand för att bedöma fuktskaderisken i konstruktionen efter tilläggsisolering. Indata till fuktberäkningarna och datorsimuleringarna hämtades från litteraturen eller utgjordes av uppskattningar. Resultat av datorsimuleringarna, tillsammans med byggnadsfysiska resonemang, visar att det går att minska energiåtgången för uppvärmning, driftel och tappvarmvatten, i synnerhet vid tilläggsisolering av taket. Dock kan inte dessa resultat ses som något annat än indikationer eftersom osäkerheterna i indata för modellerna var för stora. Bristande indata för ventilationen bedömdes vara en av de största felkällorna. Dessutom föreligger vissa reservationer gällande modellernas utformning. Resultatet av fuktberäkningarna visar att väggarna blir känsliga för fuktskador vid invändig tilläggsisolering. IDA Indoor Climate and Energy bedöms vara lämpligare för simuleringar av nyproducerade byggnader än av äldre byggnader på grund av komplexiteten hos de senare, men det kan ändå fungera som ett hjälpmedelvid energiutvärderingar av sådana om det används rätt.

This thesis investigates how the institution of playgroup is co-constituted by societal values and individual motives for play within families attending a community playgroup. Playgroups provide an informal place for children and their caregivers to come together and engage in a range of play activities. Participation in playgroup has been identified as one way of increasing children’s access to play-based learning experiences in early childhood as play is the primary activity provided to children at playgroup and caregivers attend with their children. Despite an increase in interest in both early childhood and play, little is known about caregivers’ experiences of community playgroup. The qualitative research of this thesis is situated within cultural-historical theory, specifically drawing on the work of Hedegaard (2009) to understand caregivers’ perspectives of their motives for and societal values about play and the institution of playgroup. Hedegaard (2009) contends that both the values from society and an individual’s motives influence a person’s participation within the institutions that they engage in. Caregiver motives and societal values are investigated in the research in relation to a caregiver’s participation within the institutions of home and playgroup. A mosaic approach (Clark, 2010a) was used in this research to gain insight into the institution of playgroup with the participating caregivers. A mosaic approach involves multiple methods of data collection, is participatory research and engages the participant and the researcher in reflection on meanings. The multiple data collection methods undertaken in this research included caregiver photographic documentation, researcher autoethnography, semi-structured interviews, a co-constructed play map, play map interviews and a researcher reflective journal. The research involved seven participants from two community playgroups in Melbourne, Australia. The findings of the research showed that the institution of playgroup is co-constituted by societal values and caregiver motives. The research found that while the core of community playgroup from an institutional perspective recognises outdoors, socialisation and inclusivity, community playgroups are also idiosyncratic and adaptable. This finding reflects both the shared societal values for early childhood as well as the unique individual motives of the caregivers that attend playgroup. These findings provide new insights into understandings of community playgroup and offer opportunity to further explore the provision of community playgroup to caregivers and their children.

This work analyzes the public power position in the face of the Historical and Cultural Vale do Taquari/RS. The study focuses on three towns: Bom Retiro do Sul, in the South; Arroio do Meio, in the center, and Arvorezinha, in the North. The laws and published decrees were analyzed, since political emancipation of each one of the towns until nowadays. The reflection establishes a dialogue between the scientific concepts used in the analysis of the object and the definitions present in official documentations. It is also part of the study, the practical implications from official measures concerning the Historical and Cultural Heritage. Such unfolding is visible in the press and in supplementary laws that legitimizes the first impressions of the administrators regarding the Heritage.
O presente trabalho analisa a postura do poder público diante do Patrimônio Histórico e Cultural no Vale do Taquari/RS. O estudo concentra-se em três municípios: Bom Retiro do Sul, ao Sul; Arroio do Meio, ao Centro e Arvorezinha, ao Norte. Foram analisadas leis, portarias e decretos publicados, desde a emancipação política de cada um dos municípios até a contemporaneidade. A reflexão estabelece um diálogo entre os conceitos científicos utilizados na análise do objeto e as definições presentes nas documentações oficiais. É parte ainda do estudo apresentado as repercussões práticas de algumas medidas oficiais concernentes ao Patrimônio Histórico e Cultural. Tais desdobramentos são visíveis na imprensa e em leis complementares a legitimarem as primeiras impressões dos administradores em relação ao patrimônio.

La Révolution de 1979 a provoqué en Iran une vague de méfiance à l’égard des autres pays et l’hostilité envers les États-Unis a mis le pays dans une position conflictuelle avec le monde occidental. Avec l’affaire de la prise d’otages en novembre 1979, les relations entre l’Iran, les États-Unis et l’Europe ont été coupées. Tout cela n’a pas été sans conséquences sur la conservation du patrimoine culturel : si Persépolis a échappé à la destruction, en revanche le mausolée de Reza Shah a été complétement détruit par les révolutionnaires. Cependant des démarches effectuées par les spécialistes eurent pour résultat l’enregistrement pour la première fois de trois monuments historiques de l’Iran sur la liste du patrimoine mondial : Tchogha Zanbil près de Suse, Persépolis dans la province de Fars et la place de Naghsh-e-Jahan à Ispahan. Malheureusement, le déclenchement subit de la guerre avec l’Irak n’a pas laissé le temps de mettre en place les mesures de protection et pendant huit ans les sites et les monuments historiques de l’Iran ont subi quantité de dégâts.Après la guerre, jusqu’en 1997, le gouvernement de M. Rafsandjani entreprit de relever les ruines résultant de « la Guerre Imposée ». Mais l’inflation, qui pourtant ne fut à aucun moment supérieure à ce qu’elle avait été pendant « l’époque de la Construction », entraîna peu à peu la dépréciation de la monnaie et l’augmentation des inégalités sociales. Cette situation, qui empira jusqu’au gouvernement de M. Rohani, fit qu’on porta moins d’attention au patrimoine culturel. En fait, après la Révolution de 1979, les biens du patrimoine culturel de l’Iran ont été répartis en deux groupes : ceux qui pouvaient être considérés comme le patrimoine religieux, et ceux qui, antérieurs à la conquête musulmane de la Perse, n’avaient aucun rapport avec la spiritualité musulmane chiite. Les investissements pour la restauration et la protection des monuments du premier groupe n’ont été faits que pour propager le chiisme et dans le but d’influencer de plus en plus l’opinion publique, déjà sensible à la question de la religion et aux miracles des imams chiites. Cependant, bien qu’appartenant à ce groupe, certaines mosquées historiques et des caravansérails n’intéressent pas les organismes culturels du pays, du fait de leur faible rentabilité. En soi, la meilleure solution pour réaliser les plans de sauvegarde des monuments historiques serait la participation de la population, mais l’étude du lien entre la société et le gouvernement montre qu’une telle coopération dépasse largement le seul domaine culturel et prend aujourd’hui en Iran un sens politique
The Revolution of 1979 in Iran leaded to a wave of distrust of the other lands and to hostility towards the United States. It put the land also into a situation of confrontation with western world. The hostage-taking in November 1979 resulted in a breakup of relations between Iran, the United States and Europe. All of this has not been without effect on the heritage conversations.If Persepolis escaped the destruction, but Reza Shah’s Mausoleum was completely demolished by revolutionists. However the employment of specialists had an outcome, that for the first time three historical monuments of Iran were put on the list of UNESCO-world heritage site: Tchogha Zanbil near Susa, Persepolis in Fars-province and Naghsh-e Jahan Square (world-image) in Esfahan. Unfortunately the sudden outbreak of war with Iraq allowed no time for protection-sanction and for 8 years the historical cities and monuments of Iran have been much more damaged.After the war, the government of Akbar Rafsanjani committed to rebuild the ruins resulted by imposed war. But never higher as “period of construction”, the inflation leaded gradually to a currency debasement, also to an increase in social inequality. Got worse till 11. government, this situation made the people pay less attention to cultural heritage.After the revolution of 1979, the cultural goods of Iran were separated into two groups, on the one hand, the ones regarded as religious heritage and on the other hand, the ones built before the Muslims’ conquest with no deal with shiitic spirituality. The investment for protection of monuments in the first group aimed to dissemination of Shiism thus the public opinion, which has already been sensitive to the religion issues and the miracle of shiitic imams, should be influenced. But a few historical mosques and caravansaries belonged to this group, due to its low profitability didn’t interest the culture-organization.The best solution to ensure the preservation of historical monuments should be the involvement of population. However the investigations of the relation between society and government showed, that such a cooperation goes far beyond the cultural field and has a political meaning in society

The main objective of this research is to investigate the senses attributed to higher education by undergraduate students in order to analyze the moral and non-moral values that emerge from the configurations of sense in relation to the academy, to knowledge and to professional education. The theoretical approach is supported by Historical-cultural psychology, mainly the concepts of Wallon, Vygotsky and followers. The objective is to carry through a critical analysis of the context of higher education which encompasses the public policy proposals for the area. The methodological approach is qualitative and the interview is the chosen procedure for the apprehension of sense and personal experience of the context by the students. It also uses the observation of the researcher in the classroom. Six students of the courses of Psychology and Social Communication, in which the researcher works as a Psychology teacher, were interviewed. From that point on, the research raised categories that identify moral and non-moral values within the students senses. The results indicate that, for the students, the academic formation is not a priority unless it brings money, success, acceptance in the job market and an improvement of their selfimage. Those aspects show that non-moral values predominate in the configuration of the senses of the undergraduate students, instead of moral values such as respect, justice and an appreciation of knowledge.
Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo investigar os sentidos atribu?dos pelos alunos ao ensino superior a fim de se explorar os valores morais e n?o morais que permeiam as rela??es entre os estudantes, a academia, a forma??o profissional e o conhecimento. O estudo dos valores morais e n?o-morais na educa??o baseia-se no trabalho desenvolvido por Vera Trevisan de Souza. Adota-se, como perspectiva te?rica e metodol?gica os pressupostos de Vygotsky e Wallon e de alguns de seus leitores, que tomam por base os conceitos da Psicologia Hist?rico-Cultural. Utiliza-se este referencial por se pretender realizar uma an?lise cr?tica do contexto do ensino superior, abrangendo, inclusive, as pol?ticas p?blicas propostas para a ?rea.

Питання збереження пам'яток останнім часом увійшли до порядку денного багатьох урядів та організацій світу. Підвищення уваги до цієї проблеми зумовлене реаліями цивілізаційних зрушень, результатом яких стали нові загрози для світової культурної спадщини, що суттєво вплинуло на підходи до пам'яткоохоронної справи як міжнародних організацій так і урядів держав світу. Тому охорона культурної спадщини, вироблення ефективних підходів до її збереження, консервації та популяризації є одним із пріоритетних напрямів внутрішньої політики не лише України, але і всіх світових держав.

Ownership of Cultural Heritage for a community is a prerequisite for it to exist as an element that confirms memories and stories and especially to make sense for a particular social group. To transcend the condition of materiality and to earn meanings that do not end in itself, in the case of the material heritage, the building must be holder of culturally assigned values that make it identifiable as heritage. From this place, the issue of the present study subsidizes up: how the community perceives and assigns value to material cultural heritage from outside the concentration of the historic center of the city of Santa Maria/RS? This area covers significant volume of buildings with heritage interest of the city, for example, the Railway Stain, the Metropolitan Cathedral and most of Santa Maria s acquis Art Deco. The space, as imagined and institutionalized as a region that has copies of cultural heritage material, hosted the city's growth in its different phases. However, the city is home to other buildings with potential asset value which go beyond the imagined line and legally defined as asset protection space, which implies new "places of memory" in the city. Based in the questioning of values assigned to monuments by Riegl (2013) and rescued by Meira (2008), this study seeks to identify ways of assigning meaning to the Material Cultural Heritage by the community of Santa Maria / RS in regions outside the historic center. From a representative sample of these examples, we seek to identify the ways of heritage ownership and highlight possible strategies to appreciate these memories. As input to discuss these questions, this study is based on methodologically-bibliographic and documentary research, needed to support the development of community approach instrument that, in this case, is the questionnaire. In this survey, made up of ten copies, there are both isolated and residential buildings as architectural complexes and editions of urban importance. All of them share potential heritage value and peripheral location in relation to the "historical center". Each copy was analyzed from the discussions proposed by Riegl (2013) and as a whole, provide a discussion that reaches all discussed values. The results showed that the central region is ratified in the collective imagination as a space which concentrates local heritage. Assigning values to those outside buildings in the center is discreet, with historical valuations and seniority, without the perceived potential of heritage building for other uses, for example. In conclusion, by the urgency of appreciation actions of this cultural heritage.
A apropriação do Patrimônio Cultural por uma comunidade é pressuposto para que ele exista como elemento que ratifica memórias e histórias e, especialmente, faça sentido para determinado grupo social. Para transcender a condição de materialidade e passe a ter significações que não acabam em si mesma, no caso do patrimônio de caráter material, a edificação deve ser detentora de valores culturalmente atribuídos que a façam identificável como patrimônio. A partir desta colocação, subsidia-se a problemática do presente estudo: como a comunidade percebe e atribui valor ao patrimônio cultural material fora da grande concentração do centro histórico da cidade de Santa Maria/RS? Esta zona engloba expressivo volume de edificações com interesse patrimonial da cidade como, por exemplo, a Mancha Ferroviária, a Catedral Metropolitana e grande parte das do acervo Art Déco santa-mariense. O espaço, já imaginado e institucionalizado como região que concentra exemplares do patrimônio cultural material, foi palco do crescimento da cidade em suas diferentes fases. No entanto, a cidade abriga outras edificações com potencial valor patrimonial que transcendem esta linha imaginada e definida legalmente como espaço de proteção patrimonial, o que pressupõe novos lugares de memória na cidade. Com base na problematização dos valores atribuídos a monumentos por Riegl (2013) e retomados por Meira (2008), o presente estudo busca identificar as formas de atribuição de sentido ao Patrimônio Cultural Material pela comunidade de Santa Maria/RS em regiões alheias ao centro histórico. A partir de uma amostra representativa destes exemplares, busca-se identificar as formas de apropriação do patrimônio e destacar possíveis estratégias para a valorização destas memórias. Como aporte para discutir estas problematizações, o presente estudo sustenta-se metodologicamente em pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, necessária para subsidiar a elaboração do instrumento de abordagem da comunidade que, neste caso, é o questionário. Neste recorte, formado por dez exemplares, há tanto edificações isoladas e de caráter residencial como conjuntos arquitetônicos e exemplares de importância urbanística. Todos compartilham entre si potencial valor patrimonial e localização periférica em relação ao centro histórico . Cada exemplar foi analisado a partir das discussões propostas por Riegl (2013) e, como conjunto, proporcionam uma discussão que alcança todos os valores debatidos. Os resultados permitem concluir que a região central é ratificada no imaginário coletivo como espaço que concentra o acervo patrimonial local. A atribuição de valores àquelas edificações externas ao centro é discreta, com valorações históricas e de antiguidade, sem a percepção da potencialidade da edificação patrimonial para outros usos, por exemplo. Conclui-se, por fim, pela urgência de ações de valorização deste patrimônio cultural.

This bachelor thesis describes the component of society which sex tourism descends from in Gambia. Sex tourism is an emerging sub-industry to tourism that affects several different social spheres in communities that are characterized by tourism. It is a phenomenon that unfortunately not only affect adult’s even minors enter however, rarely by choice. The origin of sex tourism in Gambia dates back to the early 70s when the tourism started to blossom. The tourists arrived in the country with different cultures that collided with the indigenous and in combination with the master-servant relationship from the colonial era and the exotification of the country as a holiday destination, sex tourism derived.

There is a great determination towards an increased accessibility in today’s society.  This creates some problems, when the building in question is a historic building of cultural significance, due to legislations and protective regulations. This thesis is executed as research for The National Property Board Sweden (SFV), who deals with these kinds of difficulties daily. The objective of this theses was to explore the influence of accessibility adaptation on cultural values in historic buildings from the 19th century, with a focus on doorways. The aim is also to identify possible faults and weaknesses that could cause a loss in cultural values. The study is based on a literature review and observations of eight doorways in the historical buildings Gamla Riksarkivet, Kungliga Operan, Linneanum and Uppsala Universitetshus. For each doorway actions and procedures have been identified and categorized based on the affected cultural values using two different evaluation models. The visual changes are, according to the result, the most frequent reason behind the affected cultural values that has been studied. The increase in social reforms and legislation about accessibility are the result of a changing society that has altered its preceptions of disabilities. This could be traced back as one of the major reasons that might be behind the loss of cultural values. Accessible environments are important, we should however consider that the cultural heritage is poorly accessible for a reason. It has been discovered that the studied archive files and documents have a lack of information, what actions and procedures the building had endured are vague. The amount of details explaining the procedures and justification of the actions are also limited, especially in the permit applications from SFV and its resolve from RAÄ. In order to facilitate the issue of how the legislation for accessibility and cultural values should ​​be interpreted, policy documents of how the laws should relate to each other are required.
I dagens samhälle finns en stark drivkraft för att göra samhället så tillgängligt som möjligt för människor med olika funktionsnedsättningar. Det skapar en problematik när det kommer till Sveriges kulturarv, som skyddas av olika lagar, förordningar och skyddsföreskrifter. Arbetet utfördes åt statens fastighetsverk, som är en av Sveriges största myndigheter, vad gäller förvaltning av kulturfastigheter och dagligen brottas med denna problematik. Syftet med arbetet var att undersöka hur kulturvärden i dörrmiljöer hos statliga byggnadsminnen från 1800-talet påverkas i samband med åtgärder för att förbättra tillgängligheten. Målet var även att identifiera eventuella brister eller oväntade anledningar till att kulturvärden kan gå förlorade. Studien grundas på dokument- och fallstudier, som genomförts på totalt åtta dörrmiljöer i byggnaderna Gamla Riksarkivet, Kungliga Operan, Linneanum och Uppsala Universitetshus. För varje dörrmiljö har åtgärder och ingrepp som utförts identifierats. Därefter har en värdering och tolkning genomförts, utifrån två olika värderingsmodeller, av vilka kulturvärden som påverkats. Resultatet visar, att det är de visuella förändringarna, som påverkat kulturvärdena hos dörrmiljöerna i de flesta fall. Förändringarna i samhället och vår uppfattning av funktionsnedsättningar har drivit igenom de sociala reformer, som ursprungligen lett till förlusterna av kulturvärden. Samtidigt som tillgänglighet är en viktig fråga, bör vi ta hänsyn till faktumet att kulturarvet är dåligt anpassat för funktionshindrade av en anledning. I dokumentation och arkivhandlingar, som studerats, finns en tydlig brist kring vilka ingrepp som genomförts på byggnaderna sedan dess uppförande. Det är även en mycket låg detaljeringsnivå på de förklaringar och motiveringar, som finns i de tillståndsansökningar och beslut, som studerats från SFV och RAÄ. För att underlätta problematiken kring hur lagstiftningen för tillgänglighet och kulturvärden tolkas, bör bestämmelser och styrdokument för hur de olika lagstiftningarna ska förhålla sig till varandra tas fram.

This thesis concerns the mediation of history in a public arena in society, namely in historical exhibitions in museums. The foci of the thesis are exhibitions on migration history, cultural encounters, “Us” and “the Others”, and in particular how relations based on the principles of class, gender and ethnicity are mediated. The research concerns two exhibitions – "Afrikafararna" (The Travellers to Africa) and "Kongospår" (Traces of Congo). In this thesis museums are viewed as arenas for public education and meaning-making. It explores how the historical contents as well as the forms of mediation in the exhibitions correspond to the task of promoting democracy that has been assigned to Swedish museums. This task is expressed in the intentions of the respective museums, in the general policies on culture and also in the policy documents for schools. Therefore the thesis also explores how pupils and teachers understand the mediation of history and use the museum as a source for learning. Exhibitions are regarded in this thesis as mediation processes of history. Three distinct phases can be seen in this process – the phase of production, the phase of mediation and the phase of reception. People connected to the different phases, such as curators, producers, museum educators, and pupils, have been interviewed. These interviews show how conditions, convictions and scope for action influence how the stories of migration and cultural encounters are told and understood. The contents of the exhibitions are analysed from a perspective of class, gender and ethnicity. Furthermore, the limitations and possibilities for the visitors to intensify their historical consciousness are discussed. The study shows how economic conditions and access to historical source material influence the way history is mediated, but also, and to a very large extent, convictions on pedagogy and concepts of history among museum staff. The latter two are determining factors when it is made clear that the way the historical source material is used results in the fact that history is mediated in a way that does not correspond to the intentions and goals to promote democratic values, such as equality, and active democratic readiness for action. The study shows that the exhibitions in question mediate patterns of subordination and asymmetrical relations between women and men and between Swedes/Scandinavians and Africans in their mediation of history. There are sometimes very distinct lines between “Us” and “the Others”. One of the exhibitions offers more space for individual meaning-making and reflection than the other, however, because of its problematization of the occurrence of African artefacts in Scandinavia and because there are more stories and more voices in the exhibition. The interviews with teachers and pupils show that the visits to the exhibitions are often isolated events that are rarely incorporated into the students’ education in a prolonged theme or perspective. Several students uncritically accepted the mediation in the exhibition, others were provoked and challenged, but the students had little opportunity to discuss these experiences in either the museum or in school. In summing up, several of the results of the analysis show that the mediation of history in the exhibitions cannot be described as corresponding to the demands of a democratic conception of education.

Acceptance by a parental figure is one of the most important protective factors for LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer) youth and young adults (e.g., Ryan, 2009, 2010). Lack of parental acceptance may lead to a disruption in parent-child relationships and may increase risk for maladaptive behaviors and poorer psychosocial outcomes in LGBTQ youth (e.g., Bouris et al., 2010). Researchers have called for more inclusive samples and methods to better understand the experiences of families from diverse ethnic and racial backgrounds (e.g., Heatherington & Lavner 2008). Specific to Latinas/os, cultural factors and theoretically informed interventions that facilitate parental acceptance need systematic investigation (e.g., Ryan, 2009, 2010). The purpose of this study was threefold: (a) examine the cultural strengths and challenges that influence Cuban-American and Puerto Rican parental figures’ journey toward accepting their LGBTQ child; (b) explore how these parental figures reach acceptance; and (c) assess for the impact of an expressive writing (EW) exercise on the affect of these parental figures. Interpersonal acceptance-rejection theory (IPART) and family stress theory were used as a frame for the analysis of the process of acceptance toward one’s LGBTQ child in this sample of Cuban-American and Puerto Rican parental figures. Thirty participants completed a writing intervention after the initial prescreening. The writing intervention asked participants to write a letter about their journey toward accepting their LGBTQ child, including the aspects of their heritage, cultural beliefs, and values that facilitated this process. Thematic analysis (Braun & Clarke, 2006, 2013) guided the research design and analysis. The following themes helped parental figures accept their child: (a) family (support, maintaining family unity); (b) interactions with LGBTQ people; (c) resisting and embracing Latina/o gender norms (caballerismo, marianismo); (d) cultural dissonance; and (e) immigration and the American dream. In addition, the following themes described the process of how these parental figures navigated acceptance toward their child: (a) noticing and attempting to change gender atypical behaviors and/or presentation; (b) initial reactions (negative reactions, immediate acceptance); (c) adjusting to the child’s LGBTQ identity; (d) seeking out resources about LGBTQ identity; (e) increasing awareness of LGBTQ oppression; (f) reframing religious and/or spiritual values and beliefs and working through religious and/or spiritual conflict; (g) coping and reframing machismo; (h) balancing family dynamics; (i) highlighting the positive identities in one’s child; (j) learning lessons from one’s child; and (k) benefitting from acceptance. Pre and post affect ratings using the writing intervention illustrated that Cuban-American parental figures were significantly happier and less anxious after writing their acceptance narrative. Although not statistically significant, Puerto Rican parental figures reported increased happiness and decreased anxiousness after writing their acceptance narrative. Implications for psychological practice with Latina/o parents who recently learned about their child’s LGBTQ identity will be discussed.

The report is a building evaluation of an area south of Karlskoga`s urban area on the west side of the lake Möckeln, known as the western Möckelnstranden. The evaluation is carried out on the behalf of Karlskoga municipality.  The goal of the evaluation that is based on a mission statement is to create a basis for Karlskoga municipality for a detailed plan and exploitation of the area. The inventory contains suggestions on what should and should not be done with the environment and its buildings.

Rapporten är en byggnadsinventering av ett område som ligger söder om Karlskoga tätort på västra sidan av sjön Möckeln, s.k. västra Möckelnstranden. Inventeringen görs på uppdrag av Karlskoga kommun.  Målet med inventeringen är att utifrån en uppdragsbeskrivning skapa ett underlag åt Karlskoga kommun inför en detaljplaneläggning och exploatering av området. Inventeringen innehåller förslag på vad som bör och inte bör göras med områdets miljö och dess bebyggelse.

Arbetet syftar till att öka kunskapen om de medeltida takkonstruktioner och hur de är uppbyggda. Genom att göra en inventering och byggnadsundersökning av två takkonstruktioner i medeltida kyrkor. Resultatet av studien är tänkt att öka kunskapen av denna typ av byggnadsverk, dess kulturhistoriska värden och ge underlag för en långsiktig och hållbar förvaltning. De två kyrkorna som har undersökts är Drevs gamla kyrka och Hemmesjö gamla kyrka. I Sverige finns det många exemplar av välbevarade takkonstruktioner från medeltiden vilket är unikt. Examensarbetet genomfördes med hjälp av platsbesök, litteraturstudier och intervjuer, vilket var en bra kombination som gav ett tillförlitligt resultat. De personer som valdes att intervjuas är kunniga inom området och det var Samuel Palmblad från Kulturparken Småland samt timmerman och forskare Mattias Hallgren från Traditionsbärarna. Resultatet visar att båda kyrkorna är konstruerade i en romansk stil vilket är en arkitektonisk stil som var vanlig bland sockenkyrkorna under den tidiga medeltiden (1100-talet). Byggnadsteknikerna utvecklades under medeltiden vilket sakristian i Hemmesjö gamla kyrka visar med sin gotiska takkonstruktion från 1400-talet. Resultatet påpekar att båda dessa kyrkor är en del av Sveriges kulturarv och måste därefter bli behandlade på ett korrekt sätt för att dess kulturhistoriska värde inte ska förstöras. Resultatet påvisar även vikten av att dokumentera denna typ av takkonstruktioner då det ska fungera som en hjälp för förvaltningen av denna typ av bebyggelse. Detta examensarbete har svarat på varför det är viktigt att bevara de medeltida kyrkornas takkonstruktioner, dess byggnadstekniker samt vilken betydelse de kulturhistoriska värdena har.
The work aims to increase knowledge of the medieval roof structures and how they are built. By making an inventory and building survey of two roof structures in medieval churches. The result of the study is intended to increase knowledge of this type of building, its cultural-historical values ​​and provide a basis for long-term and sustainable management. The two churches are Drevs gamla kyrka (The old church of Drev) and Hemmesjös gamla kyrka (The old church of Hemmesjö), both are in Småland Sweden. The churches are well-preserved and have a history to tell through themselves. The study was possible through onsite study, article study and two interviews with Samuel Palmblad, Kulturparken Småland and Mattias Hallgren, Traditionsbärarna. The results have shown that the churches are built in a Romanic style which is an architectural expression on a building technology used during the early medieval time (12th century), with one part of the old church of Hemmesjö being built by using a later found building technology also called gothic style which was more common during late medieval time. During the interviews it was mentioned that these churches are heritage to Sweden and therefore need to be treated accordingly. There is still knowledge to be found and understood which will help with the preservation of the churches and their historical value. If the knowledge does not exist, there can be faults that happen which means that the values can be lost or misused which will lead to the destruction of a part of history. With little to no documents from the time they were built, it will be difficult to maintain for the people who work with the preservation if responsibility is not taken to learn more about these churches.  This study will look at the importance of preserving these churches and their roof constructions with the help of explaining the building technology and the culture-historical values.

This thesis relies on an interdisciplinary framework to conduct an investigation of seminal national policies and planning processes in New Zealand and Quebec Province, Canada related to sovereignty, indigenous land rights, and customary land tenure systems. Theoretical frameworks for this research include a comparative analysis of European legislative systems and traditional planning frameworks in relation to indigenous governance systems and land tenure systems for the Maori (NZ) and James Bay Cree (QC). Through interviews and experiential knowledge I will document tools and techniques that these indigenous communities use to navigate complex cross-cultural policy and planning processes for their own advocacy of cultural heritage values. From the Maori perspective, cultural heritage values include the concept and principles of kaitikatanga. James Bay Cree cultural heritage values include the concept and guiding principles embedded in Eeyou Iyihtiwin. These cultural heritage values represent abstract concepts and guiding principles that are embedded in and gain meaning from local context, cultural knowledge and customary traditions. The Maori and James Bay Cree share a similar orientation to the meaning and importance of land. Together these indigenous communities view land as the foundation for collective and individual identity and cultural traditions. From this perspective and meaning of land, the Maori and James Bay Cree recognize that people are a part of a greater interconnected system that spans across physical and metaphysical spaces. In practice, native or customary land tenure systems are based on cultural heritage values that support a spirit of reciprocity with an underlying expectation that a balanced system will provide for all life. This analysis may provide a new cross-cultural framework for policy and planning processes to provide opportunities for fair negotiation of sustainable land tenure systems and natural resource management.

Australian Rules football has been played for over 160 years. Originating in Melbourne, the state capital of Victoria, the code is the most popular winter sport in the state and much of the nation. The game’s popularity has led to burgeoning historical literature of its origins, development, and expansion. Yet, the majority of these investigations have focused on metro- centric narratives of the code, overlooking the game’s prominence in many of those areas outside of major Australian cities. This thesis moves away from narratives of the game’s elite metropolitan history to explore the role Australian Rules football played in communicating, reproducing, and promulgating cultural values in a particular rural Australian context. More specifically, I analyse local newspapers from the south west of Victoria during the interwar period to begin the process of ascertaining what the game meant to rural Australian communities and to the nation more generally. While this thesis examines the general status and popularity of this code of football in a rural context, it focusses on the role that the local press and community played in promoting the game as a space that fostered the development of exemplary men and citizens. Australia’s late colonial and early twentieth century history is replete with narratives that connect Australia’s national identity with rural male figures that were revered for the idyllic manliness they embodied. Less, however, is known about the ideals of manliness in the country during the interwar period. Henceforth, this thesis analyses the multivalent perceptions of how men moulded their masculinity according to celebrated, admired, and revered characteristics of the predominantly male-oriented interwar setting of rural football competitions. Football in this rural setting was presented as a wholesome entity that nurtured attributes of congeniality, fairness, and sportsmanship. However, the memories extracted from historical sources of the period such as newspapers and monuments also illuminate some troubling aspects of football’s culture that were socially condoned and accepted as ‘a part of the game’. In particular, elements of violence, the accepted decline of Indigenous Australians, concerns about the impact of professionalisation, and the relevance of sport during periods of global crisis complicate the simplistic celebration of country football as a wholesome manly sport.

The diploma thesis contains a brief overview of the historical development of the Holy Spirit Cathedral in Hradec Králové. In a rough outline discusses the historical, religious and cultural wealth created by several generations of our ancestors over the course of seven centuries. The diploma thesis contains a proposal of an educational program in the Cathedral of the Holy Spirit. The program is designed primarily for secondary school students. Considering the uniqueness of the place and its rich potential is there mentioned not only the uniqueness the history and architecture, but also the work of some important personalities of local social and religious life. An integral part of the educational program is the brief history of the church, its development and hierarchy. The contribution of Christianity to the education of the nation is not forgotten either. In this context the program leads to a closer knowledge of the cathedral and the life around it, and helps students overcome prejudices against Christianity ant the Church. It reveals the cathedral as a cultural and social connection. The main aim of this thesis is to enhance the importance of the Holy Spirit Cathedral in Hradec Králové as a historical, religious and cultural heritage of the nation. The educational program is designed to...
