Today's climate and environmental issues have now been up for discussion for quite long. Various environmental measures have been taken, but it is not always certain that those measures actually are for the better because of the complexity of our environment. Therefore, studies of whole life cycles are very important even if they are time and resource intensive.Real estate accounts for 15% of global carbon emissions, but also affects our environment in many other aspects. In Sweden this number is even higher. About 30 % of its carbon dioxide emissions originates from building sector and changes are therefore of great importance.

Enligt grundregeln i 1:5 2 st. 1 p. varumärkeslagen (2010:1877) (VML) är varukännetecken som endast består av tecken eller benämningar som visar en varas eller tjänsts geografiska ursprung inte särskiljande och uppfyller därmed inte kraven för att kunna varumärkesregistreras. Ett varumärke får heller inte registreras om det är ägnat att vilseleda allmänheten i fråga om varans eller tjänstens geografiska ursprung, 2:7 1 st. VML.

Expeditors är ett globalt logistikföretag som tillhandahåller tjänster såsom flyg- och sjöfrakt, tulldeklarationer, transportförsäkring samt distribution. De äger inte själva några transportmedel utan anlitar externa transportföretag. Det här projektet behandlar endast flygfrakt. Gods som ska exporteras med flyg måste göras Ready for Carriage. Detta är en aktivitet som Expeditors idag har lagt ut på ett terminalbolag som heter Cargo Center.

The Arctic region appears as a pristine remote environment, yet there is increasing evidence that it is greatly impacted by pollution such as lead (Pb) and mercury (Hg). In this environment deposition of Hg has increased threefold since the last industrial revolution. In this study five cryosolic soil profiles within non-sorted circles (NSC) in the Abisko region, northwest of Sweden, has been analyzed to improve our understanding regarding how pollutants are distributed within such type of soil. The soil samples have been analyzed with the use of X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF), for the measurements of the total concentrations of e.g. lead (Pb) and zirconium (Zr).

The study aims to investigate the feasibility of small-scale electricity production with solar electricity systems, also known as PV (photovoltaic) systems, in Australia. Due to the global warming, sustainable energy has in recent years become an increasingly important issue, both internationally and in Australia. With one of the largest dependencies on fossil energy sources in the world, the country's abundant solar radiation is a possible solution to this issue.Both the technical and the economic feasibility of small-scale PV systems were investigated. On the technological side, the electricity generation, distribution and consumption systems were studied. On the economical side, the parameters that drive the profitability of a PV investment were investigated.

Den här rapporten undersöker om ett tänkbart alternativt släckvattensystem till Hallandsåstunneln, kan vara i praktiken genomförbart. Rapporten är en del av mitt examensarbete, som består av två delar. En teoretisk del som behandlar en enkel redogörelse om vilka krav det finns på brandsäkerhet i tunnlar och grundläggande förståelse om just släckvattensystem. Därefter presenteras brandsläckningssystem i andra befintliga tunnlar. Detta för att ge läsaren mer kunskap inom området innan redogörelsen för den praktiska delen.Den praktiska delen, har bestått av beräkningar och redogörelse av det tänkta alternativet till Hallandsåstunneln.Det planeras för att bygga ett släckvattensystem med pumpstationer vid båda mynningarna av tunneln.

Förmedling av information inom en organisation är en viktig del för att det dagliga arbetet ska fungera. Rätt person ska få rätt information på rätt sätt. Vår undersökning syftar till att visa hur en informationsarkitektur som utformas utifrån användarnas behov kan förbättra en verksamhets informationsförmedling. Genom en fallstudie på Länstrafiken i Örebro undersöktes vad för information dess användare vill ha och hur de vill ha den. Frågorna som undersökningen ämnar besvara är: -          På vilket sätt kan ett användbarhetsperspektiv leda till en förbättrad informationsarkitektur?-          Hur optimeras informationsförmedlingen med en användarcentrerad informationsarkitektur? En användarcentrerad informationsarkitektur utformas utifrån användarnas behov.

Logistics planning for a construction site is usually limited by traffic flow to and from the workplace. The geographical location of the construction site is determined by roads around the workplace and opportunities for well-functioning logistics. Inventory of material is often impossible because of the frequently small workspaces. As a result, a concern relating material handling remains . Even before the establishment of a construction site, it is required in the construction industry to eliminate errors that might arise in the planning stage.

SammanfattningTredimensionella fastigheter är, i större utsträckning än traditionella fastigheter, beroende av att samverka med omkringliggande fastigheter för att bli lämpliga för sitt ändamål. Av den anledningen finns särskilda villkor för att sådan fastighetsbildning ska få ske. Bland annat måste fastigheten tillförsäkras vissa nödvändiga rättigheter redan vid bildandet. Det här arbetet fokuserar på en specifik typ av nödvändig rättighet som de allra flesta tredimensionella fastigheter har behov av, nämligen elektriska starkströmsledningar. Hur rätten till dem ska tryggas preciseras inte i lagtext, utan är upp till Lantmäteriet att besluta om i de enskilda fallen.

The role distribution between designers and product coordinators and the system support between these roles are adapted according to the method of working that product models primarily are created for production and after sales market. At the same time models are also created to support a cross-functional way of working. This means that product structures exists on paper and as CAD-models before they are created in Scanias PDM-system environment which leads to unnecessary work and to information not being shared as early as it should be possible.A theoretical study has been performed with the purpose of understanding the problems and to create a foundation for improvement suggestions. Representatives from both roles have been interviewed together with other individuals with insight in the collaboration. A minor study concerning the roles of interests? collaboration at Volvo CC was also performed to be able to relate the study to another company.

 There is an ongoing reorganization within media industries today as they adapt to new and changing demands - the environment is changing fast and the organizations with it. The development of new technology is contributing to new forms of media distribution in the present media industry. The structure of media organizations is getting flatter and the co-workers are getting a new and bigger role. All this is bringing new challenges for the leaders of the organization. Caught in the middle of these new structures is the middle manager who now is facing different demands from all sides.

The goal for this master thesis project has been to investigate the power quality in adistribution grid, which has a high fraction of dispersed power production due towindmills. The study has been done on a grid in Laholm South of Halmstad, whereapproximately 45 windmills are connected to the distribution grid owned by SHKEnergi. The investigation has been focused on to two radialy fed 20 kV lines, wheretwelve windmills are connected.Voltage variations have been studied by creating a model of the grid in the simulationprogram SIMPOW. The largest deviation that has been found in any point of the gridis ±1.9 % of the nominal voltage. This deviation is a result of varying powergeneration from the windmills and the voltage regulation at the connection point ofthe line.

Den uppsats som i följande beskrivs har syftat till att ur ett konsumentperspektiv undersöka och förstå vad som gör att unga konsumenter väljer att lyssna på den populärmusik de lyssnar på. Detta för att förstå hur marknadsförare ska marknadsföra artister i den förändrade musikindustrin. För att uppnå detta syfte har tre stycken fokusgrupper genomförts med ungdomar i åldrarna 16-18 år från Stockholm. De frågor vi formulerat till fokusgrupperna baserades på hur unga konsumerar musik, hur de skaffar information om musik, vilken roll spelar andra ungdomars musikval, vad som skulle få dem att betala för musik, hur de definierar sin personlighet, samt hur de visar grupptillhörighet. Svaren tolkades utifrån teorier inom konsumentbeteende och marknadskommunikation.

Virulent strains of Staphylococcus hyicus produce exfoliative toxins and cause a potentially fatal skin disease in piglets known as exudative epidermitis. Vaccines and antimicrobials are used to control the disease. Antimicrobial resistance and the prevalence of several different toxin genes and toxigenic strains make it problematic. The aim of this literature study was to identify potential differences between countries and between healthy and diseased pigs regarding antimicrobial resistance and toxin-producing strains. Great differences could influence vaccine production, treatment strategies and surveillance programs.
