Sandviken Energi producerar ungefär 220 GWh fjärrvärme och 20 GWh el varje år vid sin produktionsanläggning i Björksätra Sandviken. För att effektivisera denna produktion är en av de bättre lösningarna en sänkning av returtemperaturen.En sänkt returtemperatur innebär effektivare rökgaskondensering, mindre förluster till mark, sänkt pumpdrift och ökad leveranskapacitet.På uppdrag av Sandviken Energi så har denna utredning gjorts med syftet att påvisa hur mätvärden kan användas till mer än debitering och framförallt hur mätvärden kan användas för att identifiera anläggningar som påverkar returtemparaturen negativt.Anläggningar har identifierats beroende av returtemperatur, avkylning och storlek. Dessa faktorer har valts för att bäst identifiera de anläggningar som påverkar kollektivets returtemperatur på negativast sätt.En granskning har gjorts av de fem värst anläggningarna för att få en uppfattning om vilken typ av anläggningar som påverkar returtemperaturen negativt. Ytterligare en analys har sedan gjorts där en sänkning av returtemperaturen på 10?C beräknas på de 50 första identifierade anläggningarna.

Flexible working conditions is used extensively in organizations today as a way tocreate flexibility for the employer. Recently we?ve been reading in the newspapersthat this approach is a growing problem and the EU has warned Sweden twice thatabuse of these forms of employment must be stopped. The Government has recentlysubmitted a proposed rule change to reduce the possibility of stacking one temporarycontract after another. Borlänge kommun makes themselves more flexible with theintermittent employments.

The purpose of this essay is to apply Activity Based Costing on a Service and Support function in order to identify and allocate costs for providing support for IT deliverables..

Aim: The aim of this essay is to study the external communication of Science Park Jönköping, how they want students in Jönköping to perceive them. Further we would like to compare thatinformation with how students in Jönköping actually perceive Science Park Jönköping. Do the both pictures agree?Method/Material: Together with literature studies, a qualitive method has been used.Two interviews with the managers of Science Park, and five focusgroups with students havebeen conducted.Main Results: The main result from the focusgroup interviews shows that the students perceived image of Science Park correlates in many ways with Science Parks profile. But the study also shows that Science Park do not apply many of the relevant theories that would benefit their marketing..

Introduction/Background: Economic evaluations help decision-makers to make informed decisions regarding resource allocation. Information generated from CEA can support evaluations of a new intervention with current praxis. The evaluations also provide information as to whether an intervention is cost-effective, both in economic terms and in health gains. Objective: The aim of this thesis is to investigate the use of economic evaluations in public health, with a focus on CEA. Use of economic evaluations is regarded as both a method for evaluation and as support for informed decisions.

 This study was conducted in autumn 2008 on the Company AB, which is currently in a growth phase. The company manufactures hydraulic systems for the heavy vehicle industry and has annual sales of approximately 250 MSEK with 165 employees.The rapid growth and unchanged planning is the starting point for this report. It all began in 2005 when the company received an unusually large order. During this period, the first priority was to satisfy customers and all other focus was disregarded. This has primarily resulted in a messy production and long throughput times.

Today there are many system development projects that break both budget and time plan. Often this depends on defects in the information systems that could have been prevented. The cost of test can in some cases be as high as 50 % of the projects total cost and it's at the same time an important part of development. Test as such has moved its focus from the software it self and its faults to a wider perspective on whole infrastructures of information systems where assure a good quality is important. Sogeti in the Netherlands have developed a test method called TMap (Test Management approach) that can be used for structured testing of information systems.

This is a feasibility study that examines various aspects of building a wind farm on Malmön in Norrköping. The feasibility study deals with interests of conflict, park design, electrical connections, production calculation, financial calculations and operating- and timetable.The report is divided into two distinct parts. First a theoretical part, which deals with conflicting interests, park design and electrical connections. Second a part with simulations dealing with production calculations, and financial calculations.Opposing interests are mapped so that problem areas can be found, and help put focus on the right places at a future environmental impact assessment (EIA). There are a number of areas where planners have to assess on an EIA, this thesis point on the most important areas.

Stockholm has in recent years experienced a strong population increase but despite that fact, the demand for housing has not been followed by enough housing contracts. According to forecasts, growth in population will further be continued upward. With more condominiums than rental units on the market, new apartments are too expensive to live in. This creates unsustainable problems for those in lower classes of society. Creating a housing market in the periphery of Stockholm is not sustainable from a social perspective.

This B.Sc. Thesis examines how Swedish Large Cap companies communicate CSR in social media. We describe the current state of CSR communication in four different social media channels, Twitter, Youtube, Facebook, and blogs. This research, supported by interviews with stakeholders and a quantitative survey, analyses the potential risks and benefits from communicating CSR via social media and provides concrete advice on the development of a CSR communication strategy for social media. Although some benefits have been realized, many companies have failed to truly reap the potential benefits from an effective social media strategy for CSR.

This C-essay focuses its research on the taste of guitarplaying and non-guitarplaying soundengineers, in using single or dual microphone setups when recording electric guitar. It will be shown if there is a significant difference in taste when using one or two microphones between the two testsubject groups. Two classical microphone setups have been used for the test of this essay, which includes a blind listening test. The information in this test will benefit both guitarplaying and non-guitarplaying engineers by getting greater knowledge regarding what kind of microphone setups to use for different occations. The findings in this essay show in general, that guitarplaying and non-guitarplaying engineers between the ages of 19 - 26 don?t have a specific taste between single or dual microphone setups when subjected to the blind listening test..

Titel: Outsourcing ? på vilka grunder, en fallstudie av underlagen vid outsourcingbeslut Författare: Carina Asplund Handledare: Eva Wittbom Sektion: Ekonomi, Management och Samhällsvetenskap, Blekinge Tekniska högskola Course: Magisteruppsats i företagsekonomi, 15 högskolepoäng Bakgrund och problemdiskussion: Ett outsourcingbeslut kan fattas på många olika grunder och de vanligast förekommande motivatorerna i privat näringsliv är strategiska motivatorer som att renodla verksamheten och fokusera på sin kärnverksamhet eller kostnadsbesparande motivatorer. Många företag lägger ut delar av sin verksamhet utan någon grundligare förstudie, på grund av högre chefers personliga erfarenheter, familjeband, känslor eller lyckosamma anekdoter om andra företags framgångsrika outsourcingprojekt. Beslut som grundas på trender eller känsla kan ha en direkt negativ påverkan på det långsiktiga resultatet av outsourcingaktiviteten på grund av bristande analys och förberedelse. För att kunna fatta långsiktigt hållbara beslut är det viktigt att ta sig tid att utföra en grundlig förstudie för att kunna förutse vilka kostnader, utmaningar, möjligheter och aktiviteter outsourcingprojektet för med sig.
