Varje år uppkommer det stora volymer av jord- och bergmassor vid jord och schaktarbeten. Dessa massor måste hanteras, ofta körs de iväg till deponering och ersätts med nytt material. Det finns inga exakta siffror på hur stora massor det rör sig om. Men uppskattningsvis så kör var fjärde lastbil i Stockholms län omkring med jord- och bergmassor på sin last, detta är både kostsamt och resurskrävande. Förr fanns det upplag och täkter centralt, men i och med förtätningen av Stockholm flyttas dessa längre och längre bort från byggnationerna, med resultatet att transporterna blir dyrare, samtidigt som det sker en långsam utarmning av jord- och bergresurserna.

Fortum has in a pilot project installed metering equipment with wireless communication in secondary substations in Stockholm. So far, the collected data are used only in specific projects.This master thesis was carried out at Fortum Distribution AB in Stockholm during 2013. The purpose of this study is to simplify and enhance the use of data in for example network planning process, by giving suggestions on how data can be managed and giving examples of analyzes that collected data can be used for.The electricity meter which Fortum has installed is a EDMI-Mk10A which is set to measure max/average/min values with a one hour time resolution of the following parameters: voltage (per phase), current (per phase) andactive power and active and reactive energy.In order to analyze the collected data an analysis tool is required. During this thesis two customized tools in Microsoft Excel have been developed, one for sorting data and one for analyzing.One aim of the thesis is to show examples of what collected measurement data can be used for. This work shows an example of analysis of active power, power factor, voltage, occurrence of interrupts and the relationship between outdoor temperature and power.This master thesis has among others resulted in the following advice: Expand the number of secondary substations with measuring equipment.

Informationssäkerhet har idag en viktig roll inom organisationer. Det finns undersökningar som visar på att attacker ökar för varje år. För säkerhetskritiska organisationer som kommuner är det därför viktigt att man har uppdaterad säkerhetsteknik, då man lätt kan falla efter i det snabbt utvecklande ämnet informationsteknik. Uppgiften som gavs av Nexus AB var att kartlägga och utvärdera en kommuns informationssäkerhet. De ville få reda på hur det egentligen låg till med informationssäkerheten i en Stockholmskommun.

Objective: The papers objective is to create a deeper understanding for whether or not cultural and psychic distance affects corporate establishments in the EU.Method: The results have been gathered through intense data collection through interviews with ScaniaAB and Business Sweden. There has also been extensive research of 36 different companies and their first establishments in different countries. We have then analyzed the results through cultural and psychic distance and through Uppsala University's internationalization process model.Conclusion: The conclusions of this paper are:Corporate establishment often occurs in neighboring countries because of the similarity to the domestic markets which contribute with a greater security.Since the introduction of the EU single market, corporate establishments have become easier within the single market.The cultural and psychic distance does exist within the EU, however the internal market decreases these distances and the impact on corporate establishments.The market commitment is essential to the corporates survival within the new market.Cultural and psychic distance affects small firms more often since their lack of network and experience.Cultural and psychic distances are two different but related phenomena..

Voltage sag indices are a way of quantifying the performance of the power supply, as far as voltage sags are concerned. Indices can be defined for individual events, for individual sites, and for a whole system. A standard method for single-event methods is part of IEC standard 61000-4-30.This thesis emphasizes the importance of voltage sag indices and different methods for calculating three-phase voltage sag characteristics. Three-phase events measured in a medium network voltage over period of one month were analyzed, results examined and statistically evaluated. An algorithm for calculating voltage sag characteristics and indices was created in Matlab.

This essay is an introduction to the intentions and purposes of the british play writer Sarah Kane (1971-1999). Her own voice is presented both via quotations linked to her work and by an explanation of her connections to the surrealist poet and actor Antonin Artaud.

Studien ?Lärares gemensamma lärande - En kvalitativ intervjustudie av lärares uppfattningar kring samverkan och en gemensam handlingsarena? har syftet att öka kunskapen om betydelsen av lärares möjligheter till att se varandra i handling och ämnar besvara följande frågeställningar; Hur formas, upprätthålls och utvecklas samverkan mellan lärare?, Vilken betydelse utgör en gemensam handlingsarena för lärares samverkansstrategier? Den här studien utgår från teorin om det kollektiva lärandet. Denna teori innehåller tre typer av samtal; berättandet, det gemensamma reflekterandet och det gemensamma intentionsskapandet, som i denna studie ses som villkor för att nå upp till ett kollektivt lärande. Teorin har vidareutvecklats genom ett införande av begreppen ?nätverk? och ?gemensam handlingsarena? som för den här rapporten eventuellt kan ses som ett fjärde villkor för ett kollektivt lärande.
