AbstractComing to new job is not that easy, sometimes the feeling of insecurity appears. Working for recruitment agencies includes constant changes of colleagues and places of work and at the same time one has two different managers.

Banverket ICT är en relativt ny enhet med de sammanslagna enheterna Banverket IT och Banverket Telenät. För att få ihop det nya arbetssättet finns långt gångna tankar på att jobba enligt ITIL. ITIL är ett arbetssätt som skall hjälpa organisationer att arbeta mer organiserat och därmed öka effektiviteten för IT-processen. ITIL utgår från processarbete och varje process har sina speciella uppgifter. ITIL är framtaget av OGC (Office Government of Commerce) i England Rapporten visar att ett införande av valda delar ur ITIL bör ske etappvis över hela organisationen inom Banverket ICT, i en kombination med ett ständigt förankringsarbete..

Vid en uppgradering av ett företags IT-lösning kan de anställda komma att få nya datorer och ny programvara. För att upprätthålla samma effektivitet som innan uppgraderingen kan de anställda genomgå en fortbildning inom den nya programvaran. Denna rapport behandlar en studie kring hur man kan utveckla ett utbildningspaket vars fokus ligger på atta uppfylla användarnas och företagets behov vid uppgradering av deras IT-lösning. Studien resulterar i ett implementerbart utbildningspaket och har följt ett användarcentrerat och agilt arbetssätt för atta undersöka designprinciper, teorier om lärande och hur man kan förhålla sig till en heterogen målgrupp..

There are many conclusions to draw from the study, the most important is that the presence of art gives positive spillover effects on the surrounding environment..

Examensarbete är utfört för Gothia System Office AB och innebar att analysera och ta fram ett exempel på hur parallellpublicering fungerar. Parallellpubliceringsexemplet är baserat på Oracle 8.1.7 databas som är implementerad med testdata via script. Själva Parallellpubliceringsprogrammet är skrivet i Java och dess uppgift är att publicera data från databasen med olika utseende beroende på vad man skall använda det till. Utmatning av data från databasen sker via XML som sedan tillförs ett XSL style sheet, eller bearbetas om, av Java-applikation för det slutgiltiga målet. Programvaran som används för att utveckla Java-applikationen är JDeveloper 3.2 och för att framställa dataanalysen, UML = Unified Modeling Language, så används Together 5.02..

This thesis investigates the socio- and environmental economic effects of a deep repository for spent nuclear fuel in Forsmark in the municipality of Östhammar. I seek to show the general picture but focus on the effects on employment, environment and income. Cost-benefit analysis is used to investigate the differences in utility between a scenario with and a scenario without a deep repository in Forsmark. Most of the possible effects can not be valued and many can not even be quantified with the data available today. Therefore this thesis has a bit of a ?preliminary study character? and seeks to show what we know today and what needs to be further investigated when available data allow it. The costs that could be valued are noise from the traffic during the period of building and emissions of carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides from the transportation of rock masses during the building period.

Förbränningspannor som används i syfte i att producera elektrisk kraft eller ånga som sedan används i olika processer i ett kraftverk utgör en stor andel i världens elektricitetsproduktion. För att göra pannorna mer effektivare och minska andelen utsläpp pågår en ständig forskning och utveckling. Resultatet av denna studie består av utformningen av en simuleringsmodell av en förbränningspanna för att kunna användas till utbildningssyfte och behandlar bränsleanalyser, rökgasmängder samt effektivitet. Det som modellen simulerar är: verkningsgrad, den effekt som genereras, andelen syre samt koldioxid i rökgaserna baserat på användarens parameterinställning. Modellen är gjord i programvaran Microsoft Office Excel för att tillgodose tillgänglighet. .

This thesis of 15 hp has been implemented at Halmstad University, in collaboration with Saab Dynamics in Linköping. Saab Dynamics is a company operating in the defence industry where competition is tough. This necessitates new ways to increase efficiency in the company, which is the basis for this thesis. Saab Dynamics wants to introduce simulation driven design. Since Saab Dynamics engineers have little experience of simulation, required a user methodology with clear guidelines.
