Resefria möten : Ett projekt för att minska slöserier på arbetsplatsen
AbstractThis degree project is about having meetings in The Swedish Social Insurance Agency, which is awide organisation. This work will concentrate on one of the projects going on within theorganisation which is travel-free meetings, where they are building a video meeting system thatallows the employees in the organisation to be able to meet with each other through the use ofvideoconferencing instead of physical meetings.In this work we will show how Kaikaku (radical system changes) along with Kaizen (continuouschange) can support an organisation to become more efficient and reduce wastage. We have donethis work in an organisation that is present in over one hundred locations in Sweden.The Social Insurance Agency has over 13 000 employees at over one hundred locations inSweden.The organisation has to be close to their customers and provide the best service aspossible. To be able to work in a uniform way, the employees get together and have meetings.Some meetings are just progress meetings and takes perhaps no more than two hours to complete.However, if seven employees from seven different locations need to have meetings, in the worstcase, they all have to meet in a common place.This is expensive for the organisation in travel costs, time and absence from work, but thetravelling also contributes to environmental pollution if the employees are travelling by a fuelpoweredvehicle.A whole day could go lost for having a meeting in about two hours if all sevenemployees went from their own cities to e.g. Stockholm for the meeting.Muda (wastage) of travel created several different types of Muda, namely:? Wastage with anticipation when the employees had to wait for e.g.
NBF- Förmågan att se på andra sidan kullen eller ?Kejsarens nya kläder"
So- called ?Network Based Defense? (NBD) was introduced in Sweden in connection with the transformation of the Swedish Armed Forces in 1999. NBD is based on the U.S. variant Network Centric Warfare (NCW), which in turn is derived from research on the concept of Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA). In Sweden the concept was introduced and included not only the Armed Forces but was intended to also support the Swedish civilian agencies in order to create networks and hence share the available information and thus more effective crisis management and to provide more "bang for the buck." In developing the concept of NBD the Swedish Armed Forces used both economic and human resources, in the form of research, new technologies, new organization and new methods.Between year 2004 and 2006 the Armed Forces once again entered the process of reorganization.
Möjligheterna för Casabona-systemet
Abstract New methods, techniques and tools for the building industry are constantly being developed and improved and launched on the market. The problem in the building industry development is not that the products are not good enough. The problem is instead that the existing construction companies do not choose to use these innovations, instead they continue to employ the technologies they already possess and master. This leads to the fact that the construction industry is, in the public eye, beeing seen as a conservative industry. AquaVilla is a company that basically produces houseboats.
Riskkapitalinvesteringar i svensk miljöteknik - obalans mellan utbudet och efterfrågan?
Earth?s resources have been exploited unsustainably. If an entire conception of exploitationof natural resources does not change now, this will entail enormous costs in the future.This insight has lead to a recently increased interest in clean technologies among privateequity capitalists. In the fourth quarter of 2006 about 10 percent of all private equityinvestments made in the US market were placed in the cleantech industry. Despite a goodinvesting climate in Sweden, Swedish capitalists have shown little interest in cleantechinvestments.
A Collaborative VolumeViewer
This study has been carried out as a part of the EC funded project, SMARTDOC IST-2000-28137, with the objective of developing application components that provide highly interactive visualization and collaboration functionalities. The low-level components from the graphics library AVS OpenViz 2.0 are used as the development basis. The application components can be inserted into electronic documents that allow embedded controls such as web documents or Microsoft Word or PowerPoint documents. Instead of displaying results as static images, a SMARTDOC component provides the ability to visualize data and interact with it inside the document. Although the principal goal of the SMARTDOC project is to create components in a number of different application domains this study concentrates on developing a medical imaging application component in collaboration with the project partners AETmed and professor Alan Jackson at the University of Manchester.

Ledares rörelsemönster : ? en kvantitativ undersökning
New forms of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have become more influential in development contexts. The concept of ?The Digital Divide? points at a large division between rich and poor countries regarding access to ICTs. Critics say that the debate concerning this topic for far too long has focused mainly on the technology itself rather than social factors which impact social inclusion and development. Scholars agree that ICTs holds a tremendous potential, but how is this implemented in development contexts and how can it be used with more sensitivity towards local preconditions and social aspects?This paper aims to examine how ICTs are being used in the context of development within an India based organisation for women called SEWA (Self Employed Women?s Association).
Smarta lokala energisystem, Vision-Teknik-Tillämpning
The energy sector is facing an impending paradigm shift. Today?s technology enables the end-user to generate their own energy locally at home. Furthermore, recently developed storage technologies make it possible to balance energy demand with stored energy and integrate district heating with the local power grid. This means that in the future heat and electric power will interact and energy flows is converted over energy boundaries.

Apputveckling : En studie av motsättningar mellan design- och användningspraktiker ur ett verksamhetsteoretiskt perspektiv
We live in a high tech era of electronic media, which is changing our lives (Giddens, 1999). Apps are examples of technologies that affect our lives. An interesting question in this context is what apps will have for significance; on one hand for the development of technology, and on other hand for humans? relation to technology. Since the development and change process are central issues in the science of education I will explore the development of applications.
Mellan fri vilja och datadriven exploatering: En studie om drivkrafter, medvetenhet, makt och ansvar inom onlinecasinomarknaden
This essay examines the limits of marketing strategies in the online casino industry,
focusing on how data-driven and advanced marketing practices influence consumer
behavior and contribute to problematic gambling consumption. By observing the
online casino industry, the study identifies how companies use sophisticated data
analysis methods and psychological techniques to attract and retain customers,
raising significant ethical and social issues.
The study highlights three key perspectives: the consumer's, the producer's, and the
legislator's. From the consumer's perspective, it explores how various consumer
behaviors, from responsible gambling to problematic overconsumption, are
influenced by marketing and gaming experiences. This includes an analysis of how
cognitive limitations and psychological biases can lead to irrational decisions and an
increased risk of gambling addiction.
From the producer's perspective, it examines how gambling companies use
marketing strategies and technologies to increase profitability and what incentives
they have to take social responsibility according to modern Corporate Social
Responsibility (CSR) principles. It appears that companies do not see CSR as a
business goal beyond the risk of current and future regulatory compliance
requirements and policy changes.
From the legislator's viewpoint, the current regulatory framework for the gambling
industry is discussed, including the changes that occurred in 2019 when the special
monopoly form we had in Sweden was transformed into a license market.
Användarglädjen av en Servohandske
Det finns idag flera grupper av människor i Sverige som lever med försvagat grepp. Bland annat människor som ådragit sig stroke eller människor som drabbats av en hjärnskada kan till följd få nedsatt greppstyrka. Bioservo technologies grundades 2006 med uppdraget att utveckla mekatroniska muskelstärkande hjälpmedel och deras första produkt är en greppstärkande Servohandske. Företaget har utvecklat en helt innovativ teknik där greppförstärkningen initieras och regleras av användarens egna fingerrörelser. När företaget började närma sig en kommersiell lansering uppstod ett behov av att utveckla en mer användarcentrerad Servohandske.
