This thesis is ordered by Peab Sweden AB Regional Jönköping and concerns of warranty inspections.The intention is to work out a basis, which show the most common complaints is the warranty inspections, and make a small analysis on what causes them to be. The report also presents possible solutions to prevent the occurrence of defects. It also covers the issue of how the client looks at Peabs way to overcome the objections of warranty inspections. The report has the following issues:?What are the most common errors observed during the warranty inspection??What are the causes of complaints??What can be done to reduce the number of complaints??How the customer thinks that the complaints be addressed?Twenty-five Guarantee survey records from the projects Peab has done in recent years has been the starting point for the investigation.

En modern dieselmotor utnyttjar Common-Rail bränsleinsprutning med solenoid- eller piezoelektriskt aktuerade spridare och multipla insprutningar per förbränning för att erhålla ett önskat utseende på cylindertryckskurvan.Användandet av multipla insprutningar per förbränning medför flera möjligheter. En sådan möjlighet är begränsandet av bullernivån vilket erhålls genom tillsättandet av en liten mängd bränsle tidigt under cykeln vilket i sin tur minskar den förblandade delen av förbränningen som äger rum då huvuddelen av bränslet tillsätts. Denna teknik kallas för pilotinsprutning. En annan möjlighet är införandet av en insprutning sent under cykeln, vilket höjer avgastemperaturen och kan förbättra responsen under transienter, regenerera partikelfilter eller möjliggöra användning av SCR vid driftsfall med naturligt låga avgastemperaturer .De ytterligare frihetsgrader som tekniken medför gör att kalibrering av nya motorer blir en alltmer komplex och tidskrävande process. Ökad förståelse krävs kring hur olika insprutningsmängder och tidpunkter påverkar cylindertrycket och därigenom motorns verkningsgrad.

This essay deals with the paradox of why the immigrants in Sweden, despite their considerable size of 12 % of the population and common interest and living opportunities, haven?t mobilized politically in any significant way. The aim with this essay is to reach a theoretical understanding of why this paradox exist. By the use of a critical case and a theoretical model, based on theories of collective action, the conclusion of this essay is that, despite the fact that the immigrants have a common interest and an organizational structure, the immigrants in Sweden has not mobilized politically in any significant way. The main reason for this is that they have a weak common identity and they don?t have the structural opportunities to act..

The natterjack toad (Bufo calamita) is one of three species of toads living in Sweden. During the last decades declines in population numbers have been detected and are thought to be primarily due to loss of habitat, overgrown breeding ponds and competition from common toad (Bufo bufo) and common frog (Rana temporaria). In 2012 20 ponds in the location of Glommeskallen in Smögen were restored by clearing the ponds from overgrowth. The aim of this study was to investigate if natterjack toads used the restored ponds and if the restoration had made an impact on the natterjack population on the location. Presence of common toad and common frog was recorded, as was the presence of eggs and larvae of any of the three species.

IBS patients experiences of eating the low FODMAP-dietIrritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common, functional gastrointestinal tract disorder. The disease is benign but may cause much suffering for the individual. The treatments available are used to relieve symptoms. One nutrition therapy is to exclude fermentable oligo-, di-, monosaccharide and polyols, so callde FODMAPS, from the diet. This diet is proven successful and even significantly better than the standard nutrition advice for IBS.

Cochlear implant has become a common treatment for people with severe hearing loss. As the field of cochlear implants is developing rapidly a larger group of patients will be implanted. Therefore, it can be of interest to identify which complications are most frequently occurring. Objective: The aim of this study is to identify and present the most common complications in cochlear implant treatment and to identify surgical issues that have to be addressed during implantation. Method: A review of retrospective case studies regarding complications has been made.

AbstractWork to develop the Eurocodes started in 1975 by the European Commission adopted a program to eliminate trade barriers within the construction area. The goal was to create common European design standards that would replace the member countries' own rules. Eurocodes will replace The National Board of Housing Building and Planning, National Rail, The National Road Administration and other agencies' calculation rules for the buildings structures. The transition to the use of Eurocodes looks like this:Eurocodes set to Swedish standards  between 2002 ? 2007They can be used parallel with national standards 2006 - 2009 The total transition is at the end of 2010/2011.Right now is going on a lot of work for replacement of the existing standards to Eurocodes.  The transition to the new calculations` standards, many construction companies and consulting firms facing a big changes and competitions.

The aim of this thesis is to identify some of the obstacles to trade, that occurs on the common market, and to analyse the errors that still occurs in the national authorities application of the principle of mutual recognition. Is the principle of mutual recognition sufficient for the creation of a common market, or is there a need for additional measures to cope with the obstacles to trade that still exists on the common market? The problems related to the incorrect procedures of the national authorities and the fact that undertakings prefer to bring their products in to line with the rules of every single member state must be solved, if the principle of mutual recognition is to become trustworthy. On some areas, harmonisation ought to be chosen above the principle of mutual recognition, but in other cases an increased administrative collaboration, mandatory training for the national authorities or information campaigns intended mainly for undertakings could be the answer. The possibility to help undertakings to sue member states for damages should also be investigated.

En RMRC, Rail Mounted Railway Crane, är en kran för hantering av containertrafik till och från järnvägsvagnar. Kranen som är helt manuellt styrd utrustas med en semiautomatik som hjälper operatören att positionera kranen. Målpositionen för containern kommer från terminalens logistiksystem. För positioneringen har en lämplig regulator tagits fram som tar hänsyn till den mekaniska påverkan på motorer och växellådor som finns vid acceleration och retardation. Regulatorn har tagits fram och testats i en simuleringsmiljö.

This study aims to investigate how federations manage to balance the economies of scale through collaboration and autonomy. This is done through a case study on Länsförsäkringar. The lack of modern research on federations makes the federative structure an interesting field of study. Previous research has shown a general perception that an increased pressure on efficiency and economies of scale creates a stronger common unit that eventually creates an imbalance in the federation. It is therefore interesting to look at the balance, which exists between the member units and the common unit of a federation.

SammanfattningDetta examensarbete är utfört av två KTH studenter på uppdrag av avdelningen för insprutningsprestanda (NMCX) på Scania CV AB i Södertälje. Projektets huvudsyfte var att vidareutveckla och utföra utredande provning på en testrigg som nyligen konstruerats för att studera bränsleinjektorers prestanda. En ny testmetod existerar som genom att utföra tester i luft istället för vätska ger bättre noggrannhet i mätningar av multipla injektioner. Detta tack vare att mindre oscillationer uppstår med den nya mätmetoden.Mätmetoden ger även möjligheten att utföra hål till hål jämförelser för flödet genom hålen i spridaren på injektorerna. Baserat på denna så kallade impulsmätmetod, utvecklades nyligen en provrigg och målet med examensarbetet är att färdigställa denna genom såväl konstruktionsförändringar och att utvärdera mätdata så att den kan tillämpas vid provning för insprutningsinjektorer på Scania.Mätmetoden är baserad på principen att med hjälp av en tryckgivare mäta sprayernas kraft när de träffar givarens spets och på så sätt analysera injektorns prestanda.

Many dogs in Sweden are put up for adoption at the Swedish buy- and sales site?Blocket?. This because in Sweden, rescue shelters mostly takes in dogs that have been confiscated by the police. The aim of this study was to investigate what kind of dogs that are put up for adoption and why owners put their dog up for adoption and also compare the results with those from other countries. 800 dog advertisements from ?Blocket? were collected in the study between January 31st and April 10th 2012.

This master thesis sets out to compare the different public transport modes in Stockholm city.Both energy consumption and air pollution are compared. The chosen transport methods are car,bus and metro.Traditionally the rail industry has had environmental arguments as a strong competitiveadvantage when it comes to passenger transportation. However, in recent years the automotiveindustry has been getting more positive media attention regarding environmental issues, forexample Roger Kemp?s statement that the car is the most environmental friendly passengertransportation mode in the UK. This study will show the environmental advantages of railwaytraffic in cities.The energy sources of the world are not endless and the use of the different sources affects theenvironment in different ways.

European identity is a topic constantly debated around Europe. There are many takes on whether there is a European identity and what the European identity consists of. In the European Union the Commission has worked towards developing a common European identity since the middle of the 1970?s. The development of a European identity is an important part in the commission?s quest to tie the union and its people closer together.
