Our modern society is in many ways built with and dependent on fossil fuels, which are used for energy production as well as for transporting humans and goods. Without the oil, many of the things we take for granted would not be possible. During the last century, the use of oil has increased steadily and will probably keep increasing as the world population and the economic well-being for many people increase. Since the oil is a finite resource, we will have to find other fuels that can replace it if we want to keep the same rate of development in the future as the availability of petrol fuels will decrease with rising prices as a result. Furthermore, fossil fuels have the disadvantage that they produce harmful emissions when combusted and thus affect the climate and air quality locally and globally.

Titel:                    Belöningssystem - En studie om butikssäljares preferens av belöningssystem Problem:            Belöningssystem, vilket inkluderar lön, är ett styrmedel som uppmuntrar anställdas beteende och utförda arbetsinsatser.

Det saknas formkrav för erhållande av sakrättsligt skydd vid pantsättning av bostadsrätter varför det i praxis har utvecklats att föreningen ska underrättas, denuntieras, i analogi med 31§ SkbrL. Det saknas även formkrav på denuntiationens utformning, vem som är behörig att motta den eller krav på formell prövning av pantsättningens giltighet. Föreningen har endast ett lagstadgat krav enlig BRL att anteckna pantsättningen i föreningens lägenhetsförteckning. Varje förening har en egen lägenhetsförteckning vilket innebär att det saknas ett enhetligt och tillförlitligt register över samtliga bostadsrätter så som finns för fast egendom. Hanteringen av pantsättningar av bostadsrätter handläggs således många gånger av personer på ideell basis och med skiftande kompetens, dessutom hanteras varje denuntiation manuellt.

På Brokks maskiner sitter det idag ett mekaniskt redskapsfäste. Redskapsfästet spänns fast i en adapterplatta med hjälp av en kil som slås in med en kraftig hammare. Det är sedan på adapterplattan som redskapet fästs. På grund av det extra arbetet som måste utföras för att säkra att redskapet sitter fast samt den ökade risken för personskador när kilen ska slås in som Brokk nu vill byta ut det mekaniska redskapsfästet mot ett hydrauliskt eller elektriskt redskapsfäste. Några krav som ställs på den nya lösningen är att den ska ha en säker låsning, styras hydrauliskt eller med el, bör vara fullt utbytbar mot det nuvarande redskapsfästet samt bör bestå av en robust konstruktion.
