The core process is responsible for internal business development and is the process that runs through the organization and the results which creates a value for the customer. Some research suggests that identification of the client's conscious or unconscious needs clarifying the so-called core process in the organization and operations can thus be more effective. The study aims to identify and analyze the experience of the core process within child health care. The method has been interviews with nine managers and 10 clinic nurses in a county. The results show a lack of knowledge regarding core process and process work.

The foremost objective of business organizations is to generate value for shareholders and to opt for strategies which optimize it. Hence it is of key concern for business leaders to appreciate how operations best are run to maximize value creation. This study explores how financial theory can reveal the link between one particular business strategy and the corresponding effect on shareholder wealth. The question in focus is whether construction companies can enhance their value creation by implementing shift-work to increase the weekly production rate. The thesis particularly targets apartment block projects in Sweden and has the construction company Peab AB as primary object of study.

The aim of this study is to study how sustainability policies are implemented and perceived in the operations of a Swedish fashion company. The fashion industry is affected by strict controls when it comes to transparency and reporting of sustainability efforts. This contributes to a strong focus on sustainability. The theoretical framework revolved around institutional theory where the phenomenas of decoupling and recoupling were central. A qualitative case study was conducted where interviews were the primary source of data.

Most of today?s concrete structures that are built on site are mainly constructed in a traditional fashion with a lot of artisanal operations. One step towards industrializing the in-situ construction of concrete is to use prefabricated reinforcement. Through this method there can be a lot of savings when each bar doesn?t have to be placed and fixed separately on site.

This paper presents techniques for speeding up commonly used algorithms forbounding volume (BV) computation, such as the AABB, sphere and k-DOP. Byexploiting the possibilities of parallelismin modern processors, the result exceedsthe expected theoretical result. The methods focus on data-level-parallelism(DLP) using Intel?s SSE instructions, for operations on 4 parallel independentsingle precision floating point values, with a theoretical speed-up factor of 4 ondata throughput. Still, a speed-up between 7?9 are shown in the computation ofAABBs and k-DOPs.

Abstract The subject of this thesis is the priority rules that apply in connection with mining activity. Already back in the 1800s, there were rules in the so-called Lego Charter concerning protection of workers, mainly servants. When the first modern trade union was founded in the 1870s, also developed a collective agreement. These agreements were the order of priority clauses had to intend to ensure employees' working lives. Exceptions had to be done by ensuring that individual employees' dependents. In 1974 the Act on employment entry and had intended to protect older workers.

Industriell marknadsföring handlar om att marknadsföra aktiviteter och funktioner mot företageller organisationer. På denna typ av marknad finns det färre kunder jämfört med påkonsumentmarknader. Därför är det viktigt att vårda varje kundrelation för att varaframgångsrik på lång sikt. Denna uppsats beskriver Käkkirurgiska avdelningen vidAkademiska sjukhuset i Uppsala och deras relation till kliniker som remitterar patienter tilldem. Uppsatsen är skriven på uppdrag av Käkkirurgiska avdelningen och syftet är att beskrivafyra av dessa relationer och eventuella problem som finns.

Den här studiens syfte var att undersöka hur den sista TV-sända partiledardebatten innan valdagen gestaltades i Aftonbladet och Svenska Dagbladet. Vi har undersökt om politiken gestaltades som spel eller sakfråga, hur gestaltningen förändrats över tid och vilka faktorer som avgjort vilken gestaltningsform som dominerat. En slutdebatt per decennium från 70-talet och framåt har genomgått en kvalitativ textanalys. Åren är 1976, 1982, 1991, 2002 och 2010.   Den kvalitativa textanalysen kompletterades med dels en kvantitativ studie som redovisar hur många gånger olika karaktäristiska drag från spelgestaltning förekommer i tidningarna, och dels en tillbakablick på de olika valrörelserna för att sätta analysen i en historisk kontext.   Studiens slutsats var att vilken gestaltning som dominerar i tidningarna beror på flera olika saker. En jämnare valrörelse skapar mer artiklar om vinnare och förlorare och ger mer spelgestaltning.

The structure of the thesis is based on opportunities to attract businesses to the region, the need of establishments in the region and benchmarking with establishment strategies of other cluster initiatives. The identified opportunities are the local business relationship with ABB, the prerequisites of life quality in the region and the availability of financial support. Further on has a number of opportunities to be developed been identified; diversification of the existing businesses, an expansion of the cooperation with universities and to simplify the contact with local authorities. Challenges that HVV is facing is: creating a more dynamic labor market, secure long-term labor supply, spread the image of the brand HVV and finally putting HVVs geographic scope. Two of the identified needs of establishments are strategically important: to establish a third-party logistician and commercializing systems for distributed generation and energy storage.

Vilka är det egentligen som får komma till tals i medierna? Tidigare forskning visar att de som tillhör eliten i vårt samhälle får komma till tals i storstadspressen oftare än andra. Vi har undersökt hur källanvändningen förändrats över tid.För att avgränsa vår undersökning har vi valt att titta på vilka som får komma till tals i rapporteringen om bostadsmarknaden, och hur källanvändningen har förändrats över trettio år. Vi har studerat artiklar i Aftonbladet, Dagens Nyheter, Länstidningen Östersund och Östersundsposten.Metoden vi har använt oss av är kvantitativ innehållsanalys, detta för att kunna göra uträkningar och besvara frågor om hur källanvändningen ser ut över tid, vilken typ av källor som används och om tidningens politiska beteckning speglas i valet av källor.För att förklara vilket inflytande medierna har på sin publik använder vi oss av McCombs dagordningsteori som går ut på att medierna till stor del styr över vilka frågor som uppfattas som viktiga av allmänheten. Därför är det relevant att studera vilka som får komma till tals i medierna.Vår analys visar att förekomsten av elitkällor har minskat, men att de fortfarande är den dominerande typen av källa i alla fyra tidningarna.

År 2000 presenterade FN den s.k. Brahimi-rapporten. Den efterlyste en ?doktrinomsvängning? för attFN på ett mer effektivt sätt skulle kunna möta framtida utmaningar inom ramen för fredsfrämjandeoperationer. Rapporten redovisade ett antal konkreta förslag till förbättringar.

IT-system utvecklas idag ofta i globalt distribuerade organisationer. Detta görs för att möta de krav som ställs från omgivningen samt för att finna specialkompetens. En global organisation kan medföra distribuerat arbete, alltså att utvecklingsgrupper sprids över flera platser. Ett problem med detta kan vara att få alla delar av verksamheten att arbeta mot ett gemensamt mål. Koordination ? att hantera beroenden mellan element i komplexa organisationer för att möjliggöra effektivt arbete mot ett gemensamt mål ? blir då en viktig aktivitet.

This thesis concerns an energy audit of a food industry. The company's business consists of boiling and peeling shrimps, and producing mayonnaise-based salads. This type of work involves energy-intensive processes, such as steam generation, compression of air and refrigeration of large spaces. These needs are supplied with electricity. Furthermore, the industry is a major consumer of district heating, particularly for heating the supply air in the ventilation system.

The concept of building work environment co- ordinator is a relatively new concept that has its origin in the amendment to the Working Environment Act which came into force on 1 January 2009. The terms; building work environment co-ordinator appointed for planning and design and building work environment co-ordinator for the execution of building or civil engineering work ushered in the industry. Once these disciplines complement one another, you can achieve a smooth handover to ensure a good and healthy working environment.In this thesis, we study a company in Uppsala and their operations and handover by interviewing the relevant staff in question. The result shows that there are currently no present guidelines for how and when the handover should take place, it is up to each individual to provide themselves with the relevant information.If the handover of the work environment would occur to the extent it should it would lead to minimized proportions of unforeseen risks and events that may occur during the production phase, which ultimately leads to a better and healthier working environment..

This study was performed in an afforestation experiment established 1982 on an abandoned peat harvesting area, Flakmossen, in the province of Värmland, SW Sweden. The experimen-tal design include planting with Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris), in combination with various drainage intensities (20, 30, and 40 m between ditches), and fertilizer doses 0, 100, and 200 g PK per seedling applied at the date of planting. The aim of this study was to achieve more knowledge about the conditions on afforestation of peat harvesting areas, especially regarding drainage intensity and fertilization requirements, by means of determining the stand growth and yield in the Flakmossen trial. The forest growth did not differ significantly between the drainage intensities tested when the same amount of phosphor and potassium fertilizer was added. Thus, shorter distances between ditches than 40 m can not be recommended. When no fertilization was carried out seedling survival was very low, and the growth of sur-vived seedlings was poor. The largest diameter and height growth were observed in the areas where the highest dose of phosphorus and potassium (200g/seedling) was given.
