Our thesis work describes how the constructions are affected and moisture damage due to water intrusion.

This is a comparative study of the use of intranet in three organizations. The organizations are one help organization, one hospital and one business company. The intranet is a relatively new medium and it might still not have been accepted by all potential users, which is a waste of resources both for the individual employee and for the overall organization. It is therefore necessary to investigate if there are any differences between organizations concerning the needs of intranets. Our purpose with this study was to deepen the understanding of the use of intranets as a channel of organizational communication and thereby acknowledge the users´ needs and opinions of the intranet.

Det har byggts många rondeller under senare delen av 1990-talet och början av 2000-talet för att skapa bättre trafikmiljöer, minska fördröjningar och öka flexibiliteten i korsningar. I cirkulationsplatser med hög belastning och ojämna flöden kan det dock uppkomma en del problem. Ett av dessa problem kan vara att stora överordnade flöden genom rondeller blockerar trafik från mindre infarter så att långa köer bildas. I denna rapport analyseras olika åtgärder, som införandet av trafiksignaler och förändrad utformning, för att se om förbättringar är möjliga. Examensarbetet har lett till en god inventering och ökad kunskap kring problematiken kring cirkulationsplatser.Presentationen av examensarbetet är uppdelat i fem delar:Litteraturstudien gav intressant kunskap om möjligheterna med att använda trafiksignaler och fysiska förändringar för att öka kapaciteten i en hårt belastad cirkulationsplats.

Syftet med denna studie var att beskriva riktlinjer och PM angående smärtbedömning och behandling som finns att tillgå på olika akutmottagningar och sjukhus. Smärta är en av de vanligaste orsakerna till att människor söker sjukvård i Sverige, därför ställer detta krav på sjukvårdens kompetens och tillgänglighet till riktlinjer/ PM som stödjer den vård som ges. En förfrågan om att få ta del av sjukhusens riktlinjer/ PM skickades via ut mail. Dokumenten analyserades och innehållet delades därefter in i sju kategorier som beskrev dess kontext, Definition av smärta, Bedömning/ Skattning av smärta, Behandling, Mål, Utvärdering/ Dokumentation, Smärtombud och Övrigt. I kategorin övrigt tas bland annat den bristande referenshanteringen till riktlinjer/ PM upp.
