This report presents suggestions and recommendations on how to convert an old industrial building, built in 1958, to an office hotel. One of the main criteria was that the floor plan should be flexible. The building is situated at Jonsereds Fabriker and the study was conducted for Hantverkslokaler i Göteborg AB, the estate owner.The survey is initiated with study visits at various office hotels, together with studies of literature regarding office planning. One conclusion from the study visits is that meeting-places, where the different companies can meet and exchange ideas and services, are important. Another one, and probably the most important parameter when planning offices is that they should have windows.

KriminalvÄrden Àr den myndighet i Sverige som ansvarar för fÀngelser, hÀkten och frivÄrd. Myndigheten har lÀnge kÀnt ett behov att inom flera verksamheter kunna fÄ tillgÄng till delmÀngder av deras klientsystem i ett mobilt och uppkopplat format.Det största hindret i deras fall med mobilitet och applikationsteknik var sÀkerheten. DÀrför genomfördes en riskanalys med hÀnsyn till frivÄrden och mobilapplikationsteknik.För att vÀlja en lÀmplig och passande riskanalysmetod jÀmförde vi ett antal metoder. Det visade sig att metoden CORAS passade bÀst. NÀr vi vÀl genomfört riskanalysen med CORAS försökte vi sedan matcha ÄtgÀrderna mot de olika mobilplattformarnas egenskaper för att se hur de kan fullfölja ÄtgÀrderna.

Today many companies are using advertising agencies in marketing. That makes the advertising agencies responsible for delivering their clients messages and values to the final customer. Therefore it is very important that communication between an advertising agency and their client works in a way that they have similar marketing goals, despite all the factors that may distract this communication.The object of this essay is to study communication between advertising agencies and their clients, especially when it comes to setting up goals and that way highlight the problems that may occur and to make both the advertising agencies and their clients understand the importance of successful communication.We have done our research by interviewing representatives from advertising agencies and clients to advertising agencies. The interviews have given us some understanding on the subject which we have based our theories on, so we have used an inductive and hermeneutic approach to the subject.By modifying the theories we chose from the beginning and adapting them to the results of our research we have tried to show the advertising agencies and their clients the importance of effective and reliable communication between them. We also want to highlight the problems that may occur in the communication and give advice that hopefully can be used to improve the communication.The communication seems to work well and so does, according to our interviewees the co-operation overall.

In this Thesis the possibilities of designing a larger building that is very energy efficient in the sense that it would not need a conventional heating system are discussed. Solar radiation transmitted through the windows, internal heat from occupants, lamps and electric appliances inside the building and heat recovered from the ventilation system then have to be sufficient for the heating of the building. This study is of general interest since the property company, Akademiska Hus, plans to use this study as a first step in determining if this technique could be used in the future and thus be worth further investments. A building without a conventional heating system of the size investigated in this project has not yet been built.The energy needed for the heating of the building was simulated using VIP+.The conclusions from the study are that it is possible to build large buildings without any conventional heating system. This could be achieved in many different ways, for example by lowering the inside temperature or by using better windows and heat recovery system with higher efficiency.

Utveckling av teknik skapar stÀndigt nya möjligheter men innebÀr ocksÄ stora förÀndringar för företag och organisationer. Mobiltelefoner, surfplattor, bÀrbara datorer, mobilkommunikation och molnteknik gör det möjligt idag att inte lÀngre vara bunden av tid, plats eller en enhet för att kunna arbeta. FörÀndringen innebÀr att en ny typ av flexibla och yteffektiva kontor med inga fasta arbetsplatser blir allt vanligare. Problemet med de sÄ kallade flexkontoren Àr att veta var eller nÀr en kollega befinner sig pÄ kontoret Àr inte lika sjÀlvklart, framförallt om det Àr stort kontor med flera vÄningsplan.MÄlsÀttningen med detta arbete Àr att ta fram och implementera en inomhuspositioneringstjÀnst eller en sÄ kallad Location-Based Service, till företaget Connecta AB. TjÀnsten ska göra det möjligt för anvÀndare att med hjÀlp av sin mobiltelefon dela med sig av sin nuvarande arbetsplats i en kontorsmiljö.Resultatet av arbetet Àr en Location Based Service som gör det möjligt för en anvÀndare att med hjÀlp av en Androidtelefon med stöd för kortdistanskommunikationstekniken Near Field Communcication att dela med sig av sin nuvarande arbetsplats.

IT-företaget Medius tillhandahÄller en produkt för Àrendehantering, Medius Flow. I denna produkt finns ett visst stöd för dokumenthantering, nÀrmare bestÀmt en möjlighet att klassificera dokument och lagra dem via Medius Flow. En av Medius kunder har efterfrÄgat mer funktionalitet och möjligheter att kunna sÀtta rÀttigheter pÄ dokument, alltsÄ bestÀmma vem som ska ha tillgÄng till ett specifikt dokument.Examensarbetet har gÄtt ut pÄ att undersöka olika lösningar för att implementera dokumenthantering i Medius Flow, utvÀrdera dessa och sedan implementera den lösning som verkar vara bÀst.Efter att en kundintervju utförts framkom krav pÄ systemet i form av bland annat utökade rÀttighetsfunktioner, möjlighet att skapa arbetsflöden och att man lÀtt ska kunna hitta dokumenten.Tre olika lösningsförslag togs fram. Det första gick ut pÄ att vidareutveckla den dokumenthantering som finns i Medius Flow idag. Det andra gick ut pÄ att anvÀnda sig av ett tredjepartsdokumenthanteringssystem och sedan bygga en integration mellan Medius Flow och detta system.

Samer m?ter dagligen f?rdomar och okunskap vilket ?r n?got som kan f?rebyggas om samh?llet och skolan inkluderar kunskap om dem och f?rmedlar samiska perspektiv i undervisningen. Denna studie vill med en postkolonial teori och en diskursanalys utifr?n Foucault och Denscombe unders?ka om och hur olika l?romedel f?r ?mnet religionskunskap behandlar samisk religion. Syftet med studien ?r ocks? att unders?ka om koloniala m?nster kan urskiljas i l?romedel f?r religionskunskap och hur f?ruts?ttningarna ser ut f?r l?rare att undervisa om samisk religion.

FlexRay is a new communication protocol which is fast, reliable and flexible and therefore can meet the increasing demands on data communication in the vehicle industry. The protocol is developed by an industrial consortium containing among  others BMW, Daimler Chrysler, Motorola and Phillips. Today (May 2009) HÀgglunds is using CAN for data transmission in their systems. CAN is getting obsolete and has difficulties in coping with the increasing flow of communication. In this report FlexRay and its communication capacity is studied.
