ABB Motors är en av världens ledande tillverkare av lågspända växelströmsmotorer för industriellt bruk. Enheten i Västerås är uppdelad i två tillverkande enheter: Division Komponenter som tillverkar halvfabrikat och komponenter, samt Division Motor som monterar halvfabrikat och komponenter till motorer färdiga för leverans. Syftet med detta examensarbete har varit att finna en lämplig metod för produktionsplanering av statorpaket vid Division Komponenter. Utifrån den bäst lämpade metoden skulle riktlinjer utarbetas för produktionsstyrning av maskingrupperna stansning och paketsvetsning. Målet har varit att finna riktlinjer för produktionsplanering som kan förbättra statorpakets-tillverkningen med avseende på lagernivåer, kapitalbindning och servicegrad.

This thesis gives suggestions as to how to design a wooden-based wave-power buoy. The thesiswas carried out at Uppsala University in collaboration with the Division of Electricity and AppliedMechanical Engineering. The product was conceived and developed taking into consideration anumber of requirements put forward by the supervisor, Magnus Rahm. The most importantdemands were that the material used should be able to withstand pressure from the sea withoutbeing damaged and that the production costs should be low.Department of Engineering Sciences, Division of Electricity at Uppsala University was visitedseveral times to discuss issues including the various ideas with the supervisor Magnus Rahm, andwith several people in the department.The work started by studying available literature in order to get background information aboutsuitable methods available for the project and to see how similar projects were carried out. Thereason for this was to get a better understanding of this particular problem and how to solve it.After consulting the supervisor, the group decided to construct four different buoys using fourdifferent materials.

By examine plastic craniums from eight different hominids I wanted to find morfological characteristics that agreed with those of modern humans. The species that were selected had a plastic casting of its cranium in the laboratory at Gotland University. My focus was on species from the family Australopithecius and Homo and only working with their craniums. And this because the cranium and the theeth shows the most visible morfological characteristics between the different hominids. I also wanted,in a small part of the essay, to write about the differences in now living primates and humans skulls.Except from analysing the plastic castings I also studied surveys written by other scientist on the same subject.

Peab är ett av Sveriges största bygg- och anläggningsföretag. Division Väst är en del av Affärsområde Bygg och utför nybyggnationer och renoveringar i Västra Götaland och Värmland. Peab jobbar för att sänka byggkostnaderna för kunden genom kostnadseffektiviseringar i alla delar av byggprocessen. Som en del i detta arbete har företaget uppmärksammat inköpen. Idag saknar Peab en beräkningsmodell för totalkostnaden.

This report deals with the modeling of a part of the communication system based on the IEEE 802.11a standard which represents the next generation of wireless LAN with greater scalability, better interference immunity and significantly higher speed, up to 54 Mbps. 802.11a uses Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) where modulation is performed by an IFFT and the demodulation by an FFT. After modeling the FFT in Matlab and C, the FFT implementation has been validated using a soft microprocessor core by Xilinx (Microblaze) and the results were compared..

Poverty among children has received a great deal of attention in the media the past few years. The group in which poverty among children has increased most is among single parents; therefore we have chosen to examine this group in this study. The purpose of this study is to take part in single parents and their children?s experiences of living within a very tight budget and the strategies they use. We found it interesting to put this information in relationship to the consumer society we live in today.

Syftet med denna uppsats är belysa, problematisera och skapa förståelse för hur pedagoger i förskolan arbetar för att stärka barns relationsskapande. Frågeställningarna som vi vill ha svara på är: hur arbetar pedagoger för att främja relationerna mellan barnen och hur kommer pedagogernas tolkning och förståelse av kamratsocialisation till uttryck i det konkreta arbetet. För att få svar på dessa frågor gjorde vi en kvalitativ undersökning med fokusgrupp och observationer som instrument. Som teoretisk utgångspunkt har vi använt det sociokulturella perspektivet som betonar den interaktionistiska aspekten. Det innebär att samband mellan människan och hennes sociala värld studeras.

The aim of our study is to examine stepparents´experiences of their role in the new family, we also want to examine if the role as stepparent is affected to the role as a biological parent. Our study is based on six semi-structured interviews, with three stepmothers and three stepfathers.By using role theory and symbolic interactionism our results indicate the requirement of constant negotiation as well as acknowledging the need to consider the other familymembers, those you may not have chosen to live with.We can see that the division of responsibility is governed by what is best for the family - to make life as easy as possible. It is clear that many stepparent lack guidance in what is expected of them in their new role; howeverr, they have been able to grow into it.  .

Aim: On the basis of the Swedish 2012 National Patient Survey and its open answers, study how patients experienced the quality of care during hospitalization in a surgical divisionMethod: In this study, 306 patients' responses was compiled and analyzed by qualitative content analysis and reported descriptively in running text.Results: The way patients were treated by staff was experienced by respondents mainly as positive. The staffs? courteous and sympathetic attitudes were appreciated. The food that was served was described as substandard, distasteful and dull. The cleanliness of the hospital departments were reported to be inadequate, particularly in washrooms.

Bakgrund: ?Målstyrning tydliggör ställda krav, medger en riktig och effektiv resursanvändning, ger ett bättre verksamhetsresultat, ger alla anställda möjlighet att påverka sitt eget arbete, ger större ansvar åt den enskilde, skapar utrymme för anställdas kreativitet, initiativförmåga och delaktighet, höjer trivseln och förbättrar arbetsmiljön? (Svensson, 1993:21). Att döma av Svenssons ord framstår målstyrning som lösningen på företagsvärldens alla problem. Fairhurst (1996:11) som skriver om nyretorikens framing (inramning), drar i sin forskning slutsatsen att retorisk medvetenhet ökar sannolikheten för att nå mål. Men hur går det till i praktiken?Syfte: Vi vill med denna studie öka förståelsen för ledares styrning mot uppställda mål utifrån ett retoriskt perspektiv.

I dagens upplevelsesamhälle sker en generationsväxling på svensk arbetsmarknad. En ny generation av unga medarbetare, som går under benämningen generation Y, ska ersätta 40-talisterna som går i pension. Arbetsgivare står inför en utmaning gällande rekrytering av dessa unga medarbetare som skiljer sig från tidigare generationer. (Fürth, 2008). De har växt upp i en tid då fokus har flyttats från materialistiska värden till emotionella sådana och där upplevelser har fått en ökad betydelse (Pine & Gilmore, 1999).

Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka elevernas strategier samt eventuella svårigheter och missuppfattningar med avseende på aritmetikkunskaper i åk 7 på en högstadieskola.Teoretisk referensram:Studien tar sin utgångspunkt i det postpositivistiska paradigmet och har både en kvantitativ med lösningsfrekvenser och en kvalitativ del med innehållsanalys. I det postpositivistiska paradigmet kan man använda sig av flera metoder (Denzin & Lincoln, 2011). Enligt Denzin och Lincoln är en av grundtankarna inom postpositivismen att vi aldrig kan förstå naturen helt och hållet, det finns alltid dolda faktorer som vi kanske inte kan upptäcka och detta utgör drivkraften för nya studier inom samma område. Grundidén med innehållsanalys är att kvantifiera någonting i texter utifrån ett speciellt syfte och som stöd för kvantifieringen kan intervjuerna användas (Bergström & Boréus, 2005).Metod: Undersökningen genomfördes i samtliga klasser i åk 7 på en skola och från denna grupp av elever valdes några elever ut för intervjuer. Den kvantitativa delen undersöker lösningsfrekvensen för de olika uppgifterna genom statistik över vilken typ av fel som eleverna gjort samt över hur många elever som har löst samtliga uppgifter inom ett räknesätt korrekt och vilken metod de har använt.

Author: Johanna Jarl and Marie WestphalTitle: Co-operation and Collaboration The Social services and Child- and adolescence psychiatry joined action [Translated title]Supervisor: Mikael SandgrenExaminer: Torbjörn HjortChildren and adolescences that have both psychological and social problems is an increasing number of the society. It used to be a demand that Social workers and personnel at Child and adolescence psychiatry had interdisciplinary collaboration, today it is more then a demand it is a requirement. The aim of this study was to understand how the personnel at the Social services and Child and adolescence psychiatry look at the cooperation between the two organizations in Sweden.To be able to accomplish this study we have interviewed four persons employed at the Social services and three persons employed at Child- and adolescencepsychiatry all of them were interviewed individually. To be able to analyze our material from the interviews we have used new institutional organization theory and Goffmans dramaturgic perspective at teams. The interviews showed that there is collaboration between the organizations on all levels, but that the organizations have different priorities.
