Fiskeby Board AB har investerat i ett nytt anaerobt reningssteg som ska minska företagets utsläpp och som en positiv bieffekt producera biogas. Syftet med arbetet är att presentera åtgärdsförslag som kan förbättra kvalitén på Fiskebys processavloppsvatten då det ska användas som inflöde till det nya anaeroba reningssteget vars krav processavloppsvattnet inte uppfyller idag. Åtgärdsförslagen ska medföra en ökad temperatur på Fiskebys processavloppsvatten samt en minskad mängd suspenderade ämnen i processavloppsvattnet. För att åstadkomma dessa åtgärdsförslag har mätningar, beräkningar, intervjuer och diskussioner med personal, en litteraturstudie, kartläggning av Fiskebys vatten etc. genomförts.

Rapporten är en förstudie inför byte av reläskydd på Fiskeby Board AB i Norrköping. Den inleds med en kort teoretisk del där reläskyddens funktioner beskrivs. Efter det följer en beskrivning av de befintliga reläskydd som sitter i mottagningsställverket. Utifrån den tas en kravspecifikation fram för de nya skydden. En marknadsöversikt visar sedan lite kort vilka produkter som tre tillverkare har att erbjuda.

Pappers- och massaindustrin stod år 2010 för 52 procent av den svenska industrins energianvändning, vilket motsvarade 76 TWh. Detta gör branschen intressant ur ett energieffektiviseringsperspektiv då små åtgärder kan leda till stora besparingar.Fiskeby Board AB är ett företag som tillverkar kartong baserad på returfiber. Då torkning- samt bestrykningsprocessen står för 2/3 av företagets energibehov föreligger intresse att använda energin på ett bättre sätt för att minska energibehovet och därav minska sina kostnader. Syftet med denna rapport var således att genomföra en energikartläggning av tork- samt bestrykningspartiet och utifrån resultaten presentera åtgärder för att minska energibehovet. Arbetet utfördes genom mätningar av lufttemperaturer och flöden, beräkningar, litteraturstudier samt intervjuer.

The purpose of the study is to examine how the teachers in second grade use SMART Board and compare two schools.The process I used was qualitative interviews and classrooms observations. Previous studies shows how widely SMART Board is used in classrooms, and this has also been shown in my study. The study shows how differently SMART Board is used in the classrooms, and how important education in the technology of SMART Board is to achieve in the classroom. The final discussion clearly shows similarities and differences in the use of SMART Board in different classrooms and also the teachers? thoughts about SMART Board as a tool.A central aspect in the use of SMART Board shows how important the basic education in SMART Board is.

Fiskeby Board tillverkar returfiberbaserad kartong som oftast används till livsmedelsprodukter. Fiskeby producerar mot kundorder. När en order är färdigproducerad så lagras den i väntan på att kunden ska avropa delar av ordern. Korta leveranstider är en av de viktigaste faktorerna för att lyckas i kartongbranschen.På senare år har marknaden för livsmedelstillverkning flyttats från norden, söder ut, till och omkring Tyskland. Detta faktum har gjort att avståndet från Fiskebys produktionsanläggning till deras kunder har ökat vilket har lett till ökade leveranstider.Uppgiften med examensarbetet var dels att som oberoende part, hitta ett nytt logistiskt upplägg som innebar kortare leveranstider och högre leveransservice och dels att göra en totalkostnadsanalys över företagets logistiska verksamhet för att underlätta för Fiskebys fortsatta arbete.Det enda sättet att minska leveranstiden är att minska avståndet mellan produkterna och marknaden och därför togs beslutet att gå vidare med att hitta en strategisk lagerpunkt.För att hitta en strategisk lagerpunkt gjordes flera olika tyngdpunktsberäkningar där varje analys tog hänsyn till en eller flera faktorer så som efterfrågan, vinstmarginal, geografisk belägenhet och kundrelation.

This thesis has been carried out in collaboration with LEDtec International AB. LEDtec focuses on innovative solutions in LED screens.

In this study we have focused on how board work is affected by companies growth and development. This research has been conducted through a case study of Teleopti AB, a private Swedish family-owned company, together with theory and literature studies. We have studied the development of Teleopti since its founding in 1992 until today and what impact this company's development has had on Teleopti's board work and composition during the same period. Through the study we came to the conclusion that Teleopti's board work has gone from being supportive and advisory to more professional with a higher degree of board involvement. This change has been caused by the reduced information asymmetries, the increased need for board's expertise, the new board dynamics and the CEO change caused by the company's growth..

During the past two decades a new expression has emerged in Swedish business linguistics: Styrelseproffs (appr. Board Professional).

The County Administrative Board is an authority with big variations in their work. The fact that the County Administrative Board work with so many different issues makes it difficult for the general public to get an insight in what they do and what kind of archival material they create. This handbook is made to illustrate what the County Administrative Board do and how you can find your way to the archives and its documents, both as an employ and as a public visitor.The Handbook begins with a historical overview of the County Administrative Board, from the 17th century to today, with focus on the County Administrative Board of Uppsala. As the Handbook is made for both employees and for the general public several ways to enter the archives are described.Since the employees at the County Administrative Board of Uppsala have access to the archives them self the Handbook also provides detailed descriptions about how to find the way to the records. These descriptions both explains the way to archives organized in dossier and archives organized in chronological order, both provided at County Administrative Board of Uppsala.All the records that the County Administrative Board of Uppsala has generated though the years are not available in the building of the County Administrative Board but at The National Archive in Uppsala.

The work of the board in owner-managed firms often differ compared to the work of the board in large listed companies. Since the owners are working in different roles, the board in owner-managed firms might discuss topics outside the typical boards agenda, such as questions relating to ownership structure and operational matters. This thesis examines what external board members can contribute with in owner-managed firms, and which the most frequent difficulties are for the owners when deciding to recruit external board members. Through qualitative interviews, three owner-managed firms have been studied, which together with two expert interviews and five seminars, creates the empirics. In the analysis, the empirics are compared to what the earlier theory states.

Introduction:By insight in the company and by monitoring the management, the board has an important function in creating trust in governance of the company. Furthermore, the board reduces the asymmetry of information between the owners and the management, which also is the function of the auditor, by auditing how the board governs the company and the accounting. In case the board does not effectively monitor the management, the auditor has to extend its monitoring, which increases the owners agency costs through the audit fee. The board composition can affect how effectively the board practices the monitoringProblem: How is the audit fee affected by the board composition?Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explain how the board composition affects the audit fee.Method: The study uses a quantitative method, where the data was collected from the annual reports of 112 limited companies listed on the NASDAQ OMX Large and Mid Cap lists on January 2, 2012.
