Detta examensarbete har utförts på Saab Support and Services i Arboga. Syftet med examensarbetet har varit att ta fram en modell i Matlab som skall beräkna antal motorbyten, och hur många stora motortillsyner (Check 3) det kommer att bli. Detta skall utföras för att få en så kostnadseffektiv drift som möjligt fram till valt slutscenario, med 40 SK60 det vill säga 80 stycken RM15 motorer i drift. De scenarion som har påverkat projektet har varit 2014 VT, 2017 VT samt 2020 VT. Projektet har delats upp i två moment, där det ena har varit att skapa en databas i Excel för alla motorer och det andra är ett program i Matlab som skall bearbeta all data från Excel, för att på så sätt kunna få ut det mest optimala tillvägagångssättet.Det som vi har kommit fram till är att scenario 2014 VT kommer att uppnås med de aktuella motorer som finns tillgängliga idag utan att någon motor skickas iväg på Check 3.

The forest property Fagerdal 2:10 was donated to the Swedish University of Agriculture in 1995 by Erik Rönnberg. The dominating species is Norwegian spruce (Picea Abies) and the average age is high due to selective cutting. The aim of this study has been to analyze how the forest on the property should be managed and demonstrate how a better estimated forest data affects the future management. The impact of the management on the carbon stock of the property was also examined. A forestry plan established in 2009 by Skogssällskapet was used as a basis for the analyses.

We can see an increasing middle age population in large parts of the world. People are healthier when they retire than they were before. As people grow older, physical and mental changes occur that can make the use of cars more complicated. The possibility to travel by car is important for many people to keep the connection with the society and to feel independent. How can Volvo cars face the needs of this growing target group?The purpose of this project is to make a car concept that responds to those needs, it is therefore important to maintain the values of Volvo cars.

The Göta älv-bridge is a welded steelbridge which is located in Gothenburg,it connects the inner city of Gothenburgwith the island Hisingen. Cracks wasdiscovered in the steel in 1999-2000which started an investigation of thebridge to clearify the condition of thebridge. The conclusion was a monitoringsystem based on laser light sent throughan optical fiber.This report describes the bridge, thedamages, the monitoring system and thetraffic on the bridge.Stefan Pup, at Vectura Borlänge was mysupervisor during this work. In myinvestigation the costs of themonitoring system and the costs ofclosing the bridge is compared andevaluated. The biggest investigatingpart is the costs of closing the bridge.The results of my investigations is thatclosing the Göta älv-bridge would cost 1107 300 SEK / day.

Det övergripande syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka vilka konsekvenser införandet av Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA) får avseende väpnad strid med brigadsystem 122/90. Tidsperspektivet är 2010-2020. Arbetet har ett induktivt  förhållningssätt. Uppsatsen beskriver och förklarar innebörden av RMA. Vidare beskrivs hur brigadsystem 122/90 genomför väpnad strid.

 In his book Wittgenstein on Rules and Private Language (1982) Saul Kripke claims that Wittgenstein argues for a certain form of scepticism in his book Philosophical Investigations (1953), namely a new form of philosophical scepticism, a result of Wittgenstein´s idea of language as language games. Nihilism, scepticism of meaning or of concept, constitutive scepticism are other commentators´ different names of the same phenomenon. The philosophy of Wittgenstein accounts for how our words, including the words of mathematics, have no meaning and there are no a priori justified objective facts as to what I mean about a word. We follow the rules blindly and without justification. We are unable to find any facts against this proposal.

Roughly 130 000 dwellings have been officially registered since Norway as of summer 2009 passed their bill ?Energimerkeforskriften? on energy performance certificates in buildings. The main objective is to decrease the total amount of national energy consumption by producing a methodology of calculation of the integrated energy performance of buildings as well as proposing cost effective measures to lower each building?s energy consumption. As the measures should not contravene nor be incompatible with the intended quality and character of the building, the ?Energimerkeforskriften? exempts buildings that due to their historical and cultural values are protected cultural heritage legislation. The current system offers a couple of professional certification alternatives, but when two online semi-automatic methods developed specifically for non-professionals are by far the most used, and since the methods of calculation primarily have focused on modern building materials and construction, the rest of the historical building stock stands literally unprotected by incorrect performance certificates and high-risk energy efficient measures. The objective of this thesis is to identify if the current Norwegian energy certificate system poses a threat to older buildings.

Alltsedan 1970-talets oljekris har olika metoder att öka uttaget av skogsbränsle för energi-framställning kommit och gått. Klimatförändringarna och ett ökat oljepris har ånyo aktualiserat användningen av skogsbränsle vid klimatneutral och förnyelsebar energi-framställning i Sverige. I en proposition från regeringen framgår målet att 50 % av den tillförda energin år 2020 ska komma från förnyelsebara energikällor. Fjärrvärme och kraftvärme nämns som en möjlig väg att gå. Tillgången på skogsbränsle och behov av skogsbränsle för värme- och elproduktion varierar över landet.

Initiativet till detta examensarbete kom från Arne Karyds kurs Transportekonomi och miljö där vi blev intresserade av att titta närmare på Stockholm ? Arlanda flygplats och dess miljökrav.Examensarbetets inriktning och mål är att undersöka hur järnvägen kan bidra till att Arlanda ska klara av sina miljökrav i framtiden. Just nu pekar prognoserna på att verksamheten på Arlanda kommer att kunna hålla sig under det koldioxidtak som sattes av miljödomstolen 1991 i omkring fem år till (runt år 2010) utan att behöva begränsa flygverksamheten.Syftet med examensarbetet är att undersöka hur mycket längre LFV eller Arlanda kan hålla sig under detta tak genom effektivare användning av tågtrafik på Arlandabanan och andra förbättringsåtgärder inom kollektivtrafiken, men utan att begränsa flygtrafiken. Idag utnyttjas Arlandabanan inte optimalt då staten lovade bort trafikeringsrättigheten på sträckan till de entreprenörer som hjälpte till att finansiera och bygga banan. Projektet var Sveriges första infrastrukturbygge där privata intressenter och staten hjälptes åt med finansieringen.

Large quantities of chemicals are used in all areas of society. The chemicals can be toxic and dangerous for the environment if used incorrectly. To protect people and the environment from dangerous chemicals, a good control of them and an active work to phase out hazardous substances in all areas where chemicals are present, are needed. Banverket and Vägverket handle in production a wide range of chemical products. Many of the products are dangerous to the environment, for those who work with them and to others who may come into contact with them.

The agricultural sector accounts for about 13 percent of the total load of greenhouse gas emissions from Sweden (Swedish Environmental Protection Agency, 2007). The Swedish objective to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions with 40 percentage units to the year of 2020, based upon the year of 1990, might imply stricter regulations for Swedish farmers. A regulation or other forms of economic incentives is probably necessary to reduce the emissions originating from the agricultural sector. This study aims to investigate the economic and managerial impact on two agricultural firms with differing production system given that a constraint on green house gas emissions is introduced. Gases included in this study are carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide.

As the quality of internationally competing horses is increasing, a debate concerning the breeding goal of the Swedish Warmblood horse has arisen. Some people claim that the breeding goal should be divided into two separate goals in the future; one for show jumping horses and another one for dressage horses. At the same time others claim that since the largest group of people using the Swedish Warmblood horse today is amateur riders, the needs of these riders should be taken into a larger consideration in the breeding program. The largest emphasis in this matter is on the horses? temperament. The objective of the study was to investigate what the majority of the Swedish horse people think about a variety of questions concerning today?s breeding goal of the Swedish Warmblood horse.
