The purpose of this master?s thesis was to find problems that occur in the production line at Atlas Copco Rocktec Division, in order to decrease the costs of defect in quality. When the problems were distinguished, the authors ought to choose the problem with the highest improvement potential. One request from the constituent at Atlas Copco Rocktec Division was to connect the improvement to the document The Way We Produce. The document provides information and values about Atlas Copco and consists of 10 principles to be able to reach their vision.

TV, film och litteratur är områden som alla ingår i de kulturella och kreativa näringarna, dvs. näringar som går ut på att på något sätt producera upplevelser. Fandom, som ofta kretsar kring källmaterial i form av t.ex. TV-serier eller böcker, har trots detta aldrig undersökts med utgångspunkt i upplevelseproduktionsteorier.Syftet med detta arbete var att undersöka hur deltagandet i en fandom kan fördjupa upplevelsen av källmaterialet, med utgångspunkt i två olika upplevelseproduktions-teorier. Denna första ansats till forskning kring kombinationen fandom?upplevelse gjordes genom en litteraturstudie.I bakgrunden presenteras upplevelseekonomin, upplevelseproduktion, samt fenomenet fandom.

The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the design and function of an engine production management?s control system and its intended function, and to contrast it with the present management control systems in use on an operational level. Interviews conducted with employees from all levels of the engine production are the main source of this study?s empirical foundation. Information has also been gathered from relevant written material such as annual reports, internal documents etc.

Bakgrund: I takt med att konsumenters preferenser har förändrats, har företag fått överge massproduktion till förmån för produktionssystem som bättre avspeglar konsumenternas ökade krav på flexibilitet. Ett sätt för att överbrygga denna utmaning är att implementera lean production. Även om detta sätt att producera på har tydliga fördelar för dagens företag, verkar lean production även kunna medföra problem i avseende på att kombinera med den befintliga, i många fall, traditionella styrningen i företaget. En del av styrningen som verkar vara speciellt svår att kombinera med implementeringen av lean production rör mätningen av produktionen. Vid en närmare granskning visar det sig att det råder vissa motsättningar mellan traditionell mätning och lean production som kan påverka företagets beslutsfattande negativt.

Induction motors, often referred to as the workhorse of the industry, play an important role in production today. Therefore, it's important to diagnose any faulty induction motor prior to failure to avoid costly and time consuming production stops.This thesis compares methods for diagnosing induction motors in operation, MCSA, Park's vector approach and the standard method used by Swedish industries today. By simulating broken rotor bars and short-circuit in one of the windings, each method is tested and the results are compared using matlab.The results need further verification due to uncertainties of the condition of the test motor, even though the experiment gives a hint of the different advantages of each method. A combination of the methods should be able to tell if the motor needs further examination..

AbstractTitel: Animerad film ? En analys av genus och hjälte-/skurkstereotyper i fyra filmerFörfattare: Anna Gummesson och Louise SköldHandledare: Daniel Zachrisson Examinator: Ingegerd Rydin Syfte: Syftet med den här uppsatsen var att analysera fyra animerade långfilmer för att se om det går att urskilja några specifika mönster vad gäller genus, samt vad gäller stereotyperna hjälte/hjältinna och skurk.De filmer som valdes var Snövit och de sju dvärgarna (1937), Den lilla sjöjungfrun (1989), Skönheten och Odjuret (1991) och Shrek (2001), av vilka alla utom den sistnämnda är producerad av Walt Disney Company. Shrek är i stället producerad av Dreamworks. Filmerna valdes ut efter årtal, då vi ville se ifall det fanns några uppenbara skillnader som kan knytas till det år de producerats i, men också efter hur pass relevanta de skulle vara att analysera utifrån valda teman, med tanke på handling och rollkaraktärer.Metod: Textanalys med inslag av ideologikritik.Resultat: Det fanns en hel del mönster att finna i båda temana, som även till viss del visade sig hänga ihop, på det viset att den idealiserade bilden av genus var den som hörde ihop med hur hjältinnan/hjälten var framställda. Den bilden visade kvinnan som den perfekta, vackra, söta och goda, och till viss del passiv och svagare.

The energy consumption in the sectors of residential and public buildings is 40 % of the total energy consumption in Sweden. The main part, 85 %, of the energy use in these sectors is for operation of the buildings. The rest is used in the building process. When energy-efficiency measures are taken the energy use during the operation time decreases and the fraction of energy consumption during the building time increases. This project is carried out in cooperation with JM AB and concerns the energy use during the building time of production of blocks of flats at the building site.The main part of the electricity that is used during the production of apartment buildings goes into the heating of portacabins and illumination of the building during the construction phase.

My aim in this case study has been to create a method for creature design to test this method in a production and evaluate the results. To achieve this I studied and analyzed the methods of three concept artists and illustrators named James Gurney, Neville Page and Iain McCaig. From the analysis of these artist´s methods, combined with my own personal experience, a new method was formed. To test this method a creature was designed based on directives given by a game design group in the process of creating a table top role playing game in a fictitious world. These directives where given for the creature´s role and its living conditions.

This study is a comparative analysis of how Hollywood portrays people from the Middle East before and after 9/11. The films used to conduct this study are True Lies (1994), The Siege (1998), The Kingdom (2007) and Body of Lies (2008). With a qualitative methodology, discourse analysis and postcolonial theory this study analysed not only how people from the Middle East is portrayed, but also how the Americans in the films are presented and how the characters in the films changed in the movies produced after 9/11.     The results show that people from the Middle East are portrayed in a negative way and that Hollywood uses stereotypes. However, people from the Middle East are more gradated in the films post-9/11. There is a bigger focus on Islam in the movies produced after 9/11 and the study also shows that family values play a less central part in the story in the films made after 9/11 and that work is of more importance.

Emission of nitrogen oxides as well as carbon monoxides is an inevitable result of combustion. A Swedish law "Law of environmental fee for emissions of nitrogen oxides as a result of energy production" (lagen om miljöavgift på utsläpp av kväveoxider vid energiproduktion (SFS 1990:613)) controls the emission of NOx from energy production by a system of fees. The system has resulted in a strong approach toward less emissions of NOx among the energy production plants. High emission levels, today exceeding 52 mg/MJsupplied fuel, leads to costs for energy production companies. This paper examines possibilities to reduce the emissions of NOx by optimization of the SNCR-technique in a biofuel fired heat and power plant.

Det övergripande syftet med detta examensarbete är att är att skapa förståelse för i vad mån elevers filmskapande kan ses som en tillgång i deras läs- och skrivutveckling. Vidare så uppmärksammas också lärares syn på hur filmskapande kan bidra till läs- och skrivutveckling samt deras syn på text, berättande och lärande. Studien tar också upp vilka möjligheter och vilka hinder som lärarna anser finns i arbetet med filmskapande i skolan. Empiriskt material i form av kvalitativa intervjuer med sex stycken lärare samt teori och tidigare forskning ligger till grund för min analys och diskussion i studien. Resultatet visar på att lärarna ser lärande utifrån ett sociokulturellt perspektiv och att majoriteten av dem ser filmskapande som ett kulturellt redskap för att uttrycka text.

In my work I have chosen to examine the profitability for small scale production of hemp briquettes. My study also includes a review of which briquette technique that is the most common one among small scale producers. The reason that I have chosen this subject is because of the discussions about climate and energy that we face almost every day. I also think the subject is extra interesting in these days when the grain prizes are at a historic high level. In order for me to achieve a reliable report, a hemp and briquette producer has given me the actual data from his farm. In that way I have been able to make my calculations from a concrete perspective.

This is a project about how you grow timothy seed and red clover seed successfully. The main part is about economic analyse to see if it is any economy by growing leyseed. There are lots of things to be aware of to get all the costs in your economic analyze. Timothy Timothy seed is planted on 4400 hectares in Sweden. It is possible to grow timothy seed in the south part of Sweden. Timothy is very sensitive for dry weather in spring and in the beginning to summer. Timothy gives acceptable harvest of seed for about three years. Red clover Red clover is also sensitive for dry weather and is suitable to grow in the south part of Sweden.

Domestication has resulted in the ability for animals to adapt to environments created by the human over time. The behavior differs very little between wild and domesticated animals, but the difference seen is how often and to what degree a behavior is performed. The need for efficiency in modern animal production has led to welfare problems in the productionsystems where the animals have difficulties coping with their environment. Attempts to environmentally adapt individuals by selection for reduced frequency of natural behaviours have been made. These have shown that natural behaviours are complex and are controlled by several different mechanisms, making selection for reduced natural behavior difficult, and it may also lead to unwanted and abnormal behaviours.

Vi har under tio veckor producerat en del av Peter Martinssons film Eve. Vi har stått bakom en stor del av den tekniska biten. Vi har inte deltagit något i idéarbetet och idén bakom filmen, däremot har vi påverkat det visuella resultatet genom att göra stora delar av bakgrundsmaterialet. På så sätt har våra idéer och vår konst fått en stor del i filmen. Genom detta arbete har vi velat utveckla våra kunskaper främst i programmet AliasWavefront Maya, men även rent estetiskt. Målet med arbetet var inte att bli klara med filmen, utan att lära oss av produktionsprocessen. Vi har varit tvungna att anpassa oss i vårt arbete till det speciella utseendet som filmen har.
