pelago. There is an old inn that is located on the island that has become a very popular attraction in the last couple of years. The inn has both a well-known restaurant as well as conference facilities that are used by tourists as well as the people of Stockholm over the summer months. The inn was built 1908 and has since remained in the same condition.make islands in the archipelago more environmentally friendly and promote sustainability. One of their project islands is Grinda.

Miljo och energi ar tva faktorer som blir allt viktigare, och energisnala hus har nufunnits en tid pa marknaden. Att ta lagenergihus ett steg langre, och goraplusenergihus som levererar mer energi an vad den gor av med, ar inte lika valtestat i Sverige annu. Da tjockleken pa vaggarna blir storre ar det ocksa viktigareatt hitta tekniker som minskar koldbryggor vid anslutningar.For att forsta hur man pa basta satt ska utforma och konstruera dessa husbehovs kunskap om material, koldbryggor, byggnadsdetaljer, klimat ochuppvarmningssystem. Bland annat har en analys av vilka olika varmesystem sompassar bra for ett lag-/plusenergihus gjorts i denna examensrapport, med stod avreferensobjekt. For att huset i framtiden ska kunna utnyttjas som ett plusenergihusbehovs ett system som har kapacitet att lagra energi under en kortare tid.

Chapter 6 of the Ch?ndogya Upani?ad has often been treated in works on early Indian philosophy, as well as in some comparative studies on color symbolism. Attempts to place it in a larger framework against the background of late Vedic religion are, however, few, the rationalistic and ?tradition-challenging? appearance of the text having repeatedly been emphasized. But the doctrine contained in the text ? a cosmologic teaching on the three elements constituting the universe, each being characterized by a color (red, white, black) ? and their microcosmic counterparts in the human body, does have some clear affinities to the worldview of the Br?hma?as and ?ra?yakas, which posits a series of similar correlations (bandhu-) between macro- and microcosmos.

Syftet med föreliggande studie är att undersöka hur ledare på högre nivå idag ser på begreppen ledarskap och kommunikation. Jag har studerat hur dessa ledare konstruerar begreppet ledarskap och kommunikation och förhållandet dem emellan. Jag har ställt frågor som syftar till hur de idag ser på begrepp som dessa, samt också spårat uttalanden som skiljer på dialog och diskussion, transmission eller meningsskapande kommunikation. Vad gäller ledarskap har jag spårat uttalanden som kan belysa varifrån konstruktioner om ledarskap kommer. Problemet som jag ser det, är att de värderingar som implicit ligger i begreppet ledarskap motarbetar de ledarskapsfilosofier som gör ett försök att utveckla framtidens ledarskap genom att lägga på olika adjektiv som kommunikativt, visionärt, symboliskt etcetera.Jag vill alltså i denna studie lyfta fram ett synsätt som lägger fokus på kommunikationen, inte ledarskapet, med tanke på att det idag argumenteras för något som kallas kommunikativt ledarskap.

The government regulations for energy use in buildings will be tightened in the future. At the same time the interest in environmental classifications and certifications of buildings is increasing. This has meant a new situation for solar energy. The designs of solar heating systems are often based on experience and/or rules of thumb, rather than calculations and simulations. This thesis examines whether simulation tools, in this case Polysun, are useful in this work.

Arvika Fjärrvärme AB, a district heating company from Arvika, today cover 74 % of their total energy production with biofuel wich runs a 16 MW bioler giving process water at saturated liquid state.In recent years Vaporel AB has introduced a new tecnique that gives an external generation of steam after boilers. The concept is built on an adiabatic pressure drop of the saturated liquid in a so called Flashbox which makes a small part of the liquid to evaporate. The generated steam is lead into a turbine where electricity is in a conventional manner.The purpose with this rapport was to do a basic study for the specific system at Arvika where it?s possible to see the potential production of electricity that follows an installation of a flasbox.The final goal was to introduce an economic analysis of a flashox installation at given conditions.To reach our goals we have created a model in Excel where we used the given conditions at Arvika Fjärrvärme to do our calculations. The model has been tested at three different states, of process water returning to potboiler, to be able to decide the optimal operation for the system at present.The studies have resulted in a pressure of the processwater at 14,5 bar (at) and a pressuredrop to 9,5 bar (at) in the flashbox.

Aerated steam treatment is a modern and environmental friendly method for seed borne fungus sanitation, mainly used on cereals. The method involves exposure to heat and high humidity, factors which are known to induce a fast ageing of seeds, thus resulting in reduced storability. This thesis clarifies the interdependence between seed age and the aerated steam treatment intensities. Two studies were carried out in this thesis. In the first study the storage longevity of seeds treated with aerated steam was examined. The second study investigated the shelf-life of the pre-tests used to determine the aerated steam treatment tolerance of a seed lot, by testing the treatment tolerance of seeds aged prior to the treatment.

Detta examensarbete är utfört mot två institutioner vid universitetet. Dels institutionen för Arbetsvetenskap och avdelningen för industriell produktionsmiljö men också institutionen för Industriell ekonomi och samhällsvetenskap och avdelningen för kvalitets- & miljöledning. --------------- Bakgrunden till detta examensarbete var att Scanias transmissionstillverkning i Södertälje, DX, hade ett behov av att kartlägga sitt kvalitetssäkringsarbete för att identifiera aktiviteter och brister i detsamma. Syftet med examensarbetet var därför att göra denna kartläggning, beskriva bristerna samt ge förslag på förbättringar. I kartläggningen användes i huvudsak intervjuer och observationer för att studera DX personal och tillverkning.

Syftet med detta examensarbete är att utifrån ett Scaniaperspektiv ta fram konkreta förslag för en förbättrad produktionsstrategi av kamaxelhärdningen på Scania Transmission.

Arbetet har fortskridit i fem större block: litteraturstudie, kartläggning av nuläge, benchmarking, framtagning och utvärdering av förslag samt rekommendationer och slutsatser. Som hjälp har använts verktyg som t.ex. VSM (design av värdeflöden), FSLP (förenklad systematisk lokalplanläggning) och Scanias investeringskalkylmodell MIKA.

Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) är ett virus som först observerades hos en patient år 2012 på ett sjukhus i Saudiarabien. Viruset orsakar luftvägssymptom och ibland gastrointestinala symptom. Dödligheten hos människa är över 30%. Eftersom tidigare erfarenhet har visat att nya coronavirus ofta har sitt ursprung i en djurpopulation har många studier gjorts för att undersöka spridningen av MERS-CoV och förekomsten av en eller flera reservoirer. Denna litteraturstudie har som mål att undersöka vilka bevis det finns för dromedarens roll i smittspridningen av MERS-CoV. Då flera seroepidemiologiska studier gjorts som visar att MERS-CoV eller ett nära besläktat virus har cirkulerat i dromedarpopulationen i över 20 år har man gått vidare och undersökt bl.a.

This report is the result of an investigation of the possibility to use RFID-technology in a producing company. The investigation is focused on a flow between the company?s producing subsidiary company in Lithuania and its main facility in Sweden.RFID is the abbreviation for radiofrequency identification. The RFID-technology forms the base of a system with wireless information transmission between an object to which a transponder, also called tag, has been attached and a reader. The information is transmitted by radio waves and the system is equipped with software that can digitalise the radio waves.

Background: The most energy efficient houses today are so called passive houses. These houses achieve high energy-efficiency partly by having well insulated walls. U-value describes the amount of heat transfered through a building element, the more insulation, the smaller U-value. A typical passive house wall have a U-value of 0.10 W/m2,°C. The passive houses are primarily made as small family houses and not as a block of apartments.

This thesis, designed as a case study, is about complications concerning conservation of a decorative oil paint on lime plaster from the drawing-room in Mostorp castle sited in the county of Halland in south-west of Sweden. The building was built 1878-80 with an exterior of granite. The interior walls were made of clay bricks, lime mortar and lime plaster. The oil paint is applied to a layer of putty. The combination of different materials, which are organic and inorganic, affects the movement caused by internal and external stress.

AbstractAccording to research made by Statistics Sweden on the members of the labor union IF Metall the number of reported musculoskeletal disorders for employees working under the collective bargaining agreement for the automotive industry has almost doubled since 2003. During 2004- 2006 and 2008 male assembly workers were the occupational group with the highest amount of reported work related disorders in Sweden. To prevent musculoskeletal disorders is according to Rose and Orrenius important both for the individual, the society and the industry by reducing economic and personal costs. The purpose of this paper is to identify and analyze how the manufacturing industry is affected by musculoskeletal disorders that occur when working with line assembly and how companies can prevent them. The report aims to provide the reader with an understanding of what musculoskeletal disorders are, to which extent they occur in assembly, how companies are directed by laws and regulations and how they affect the Swedish manufacturing industry and their employees.
