Nowdays an efficient production is critical to achieve for companies competing on the market for steel cutting tools. One of such companies is Halmstad based Tooling Support Halmstad AB that manufactures threading-taps, threading-dies and parting off tools, towards a centralized warehouse in Schiedam, Holland. The large amount of different products, approximately 2500 is a big contributor to the problem along with a new order system that creates a demand of low setup times. Previously the company was forwarded orders through quarter based prognoses which enabled planning of the production over a longer time span. Currently the newer order system ZENIT is in use and the company thereby gets their orders weekly.

Smålands museum, the museum of Småland, is a museum for the county of Kronoberg, a mission given to the museum by the state and county council. The main fields of the museum are the cultural heritage and the history of culture of the region. The museum of Småland is also the Swedish museum of glass. This Master s thesis focuses on the information requirements of the employees at the museum of Småland. Because of the financial status of the museum, the librarian that worked at the museum had to quit about four years ago.

The purpose of this work was to see if it was possible to rebuild an old dairy house into a house fore sheep production. The goals fore the work was to see witch kind of production model was suitable, how the actual drawing would look like and witch kind of interior was needed. The building was built in the beginning of 1900. It is located on the mountain Kinnekulle in Sweden. It was a big production fore its time and hade about 60 dairy cows. It was a lot of hard work because the floor was built by big stone blocks and it was very hard to rebuild when some more automatic solutions came fore handling all the manure. The idea of remaking the building came when we rebuilt the roof fore 5 years ago.

When exposed to them, isocyanates can induce serious injuries in the respiratory tract and irritation on the skin and in the eyes. They are therefore interesting from the point of view of occupational health. The purpose of this thesis was to collect isocyanates in air with impinger-filter samplers and solvent free samplers. Furthermore the isocyanates were to be analyzed with liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. The solvent free sampler consists of a polypropylene tube and filter holder fitted with glass fiber filters impregnated with derivatization reagent, coupled with a pump.

Eco-design is all about improving products environmental performances throughout the products lifecycle by including the environmental aspect into the product development process. There are a large number of different tools that can be used for this, but there are several factors that can affect which one will be the best to use. Some tools for eco-design takes comprehensive studies and can only be performed by experts, while some tools can be used more time- and cost efficient and with basic knowledge. The choice of tool should be based on the company?s situation.This report describes the research of how the design and furniture company Blå Station could include a tool for eco-design in their product development process.

Partille municipality is planning an extension of the building Forellen. Green environments in health care have been shown to improve the health of patients, especially in elderly care. This report addresses the possibility of using the leftover space in close connection to a dementia and short-term accommodation to a winter garden and a terrace. The report also analyzes the impact of these green spaces on the residents.The purpose is to find alternative answers on the issue through the study of nursing homes and green spaces, and that these may be useful for Partille municipality and inspiration for future projects. The goal is to get conclusions in to a report, drawings, and an oral presentation.The results show that the design of environments can affect human well-being and also be healing both mentally and physically.

WSP building physics in Stockholm has certified the preschool Temmelburken in Bromma with the system of certification Miljöbyggnad. The rating of the building became BRONZE. In this thesis the preschool has been investigated with respect to the three areas: thermal climate, use of energy and improving of the level of certification. The thermal climate at the preschool has been investigated by a questionnaire survey and by measurements in order to do comparisons between the results from the two investigations as well as with the results of the simulations that WSP has done at the certification of the preschool. The differences between the results from the simulations and the questionnaire survey for winter as well as from the measurement performed with a comfort meter the 19th of March are concidered to be reasonably small since they give rise to the same rating according to Miljöbyggnad.   Operational data for the use of energy for the preschool have been obtained in order to do comparisons with simulations performed by WSP and Svenska Besiktningar AB. The comparison shows that the simulated values for the specific use of energy are lower than what the real specific use of energy would be for the preschool, since just the operational data for the heat energy is higher than the simulated values. At the investigation of the possibility of improving the level of certification it was found that the rating of the preschool can be raised from BRONZE to SILVER by improving the ratings of the ?thermal climate summer? and the ?daylight?.

Platelet aggregation is a major and common problem in blood samples from cats. This greatly affects the accuracy of counting of the platelets. Because of the difficulties in counting feline platelets, results for patients and reliable reference values for cat platelets are currently so inaccurate as to be almost useless in diagnosis of thrombocytopenia. In this study we used an effective method to prevent platelet aggregation. Blood was collected in CTAD test tubes and prostaglandin E1 was added to the blood sample.

Bakgrund och problem: Finansiella rapporters betydelse vid företagsanalyser och beslut som investerare fattar ställer krav på den externa redovisningen. Sammansatta avtal har begränsad vägledning i de befintliga redovisningsrekommendationerna, de grundläggande definitioner av intäkter präglas idag av svagheter. Hur ser efterlevnaden ut av dessa rekommendationer idag? Konvergensprojekt mellan IASB och FASB syfte är att harmonisera och skapa nya gemensamma rekommendationer kring intäktsredovisning. Kan konvergensprojektet tydliggöra och utveckla de befintliga rekommendationerna av sammansatta avtal? Syfte: Syftet är att belysa problemområden kring intäktsredovisning av sammansatta avtal enligt IFRS, samt undersöka skillnaderna mellan de befintliga intäktsredovisningsrekommendationerna och förslaget från konvergensprojektet.Urval: Studien kommer endast undersöka telekombranschen då de utgör en bransch med frekvent användning av sammansatta avtal.

Problematisering: Under 2013 ska regelverket Basel-­?III börja implementeras iEuropa. Dess huvudsyfte är att förhindra framtida finansiellakriser. Det tidigare regelverket Basel-­?II har dock haft uppenbarabrister med tanke på den senaste finanskrisens omfattning.

Målet med det här arbetet är att se bortom de senaste årens negativa utveckling för glasindustrin och undersöka vilka fördelar som finns i glasindustrin idag.Researcharbetet består av studiebesök och intervjuer av nyckelpersoner för att skapa en bild av hur branschen ser ut. Till det kommer även en analys av bilden som glasbruken ger av sig själva mestadels med hjälp av internet. Dagens glasindustri är småskalig och det ger fördelar som hög flexibilitet, korta beslutsvägar och möjlighet att tillverka mindre produktserier. Legotillverkning lyfts fram som ett bra exempel på hur man kan få avsättning för svensktillverkat glas. För att som designer utnyttja detta undersöks möjligheten att arbeta som ett slags glaskonsult.

Detta är en studie om föräldrars tankar om maten som serveras barnen i förskolan samt vilka åsikter de har om förekomsten av sötsaker och sötade produkter. Data har samlats in genom kvalitativa intervjuer med sex föräldrar till barn från två olika förskolor i en kommun. Tre föräldrar på varje förskola fick svara på frågor om deras tankar om maten på förskolan och vad de har för inställning till att det serveras sötsaker på förskolan.          Flera undersökningar visar att socker inte är bra ur hälsosynpunkt. Sötsaker är en bidragande orsak till flera ohälsosamma tillstånd och sjukdomar. De flesta av föräldrarna var eniga om att det var bra att erbjudandet av sötsaker i förskolan minskat.

Concept - detail - buildingStockholm International Fairs, new main entrance I studied at the KTH School of Architecture from 1995 to 2000. After completing my studies I wanted to work in an office that had a structural way of thinking and that knew the building process; I therefore chose to work for Rosenberg Architects. I have worked on a number of projects, among them several for the Stockholm International Fairs, from the Rica Talk Hotel and Hall AE, to the new main entrance.In the projects we undertook at the School of Architecture we had to identify and draw details that were central to our concepts. I have here identified some key details that we considered to be essential for the concept in a built project; the new main entrance of the Stockholm International Fairs completed in 2013. The entrance has complex logistics with multiple intersecting flows: exhibitors, employees, journalists, VIPs and others.

Native spider silk is an attractive lightweight natural polymeric material with a unique combination of strength, extendibility and flexibility. Synthetic, recombinant spider silk is an attractive biomaterial with several possible fields of application. When a foreign material is introduced to blood, this can for example cause unwanted coagulation and complement activation. The aim of this study was to investigate if coatings of heparin or albumin could improve the blood compatibility of films of recombinant spider silk and to develop an initial method to do so. Hypothetically, objects like pacemakers, stents and dental implants could be covered with spider silk films of high blood compatibility to reduce potentially harmful foreign body reactions caused by the immune defense. Increased blood compatibility would likely lead to improvements for both the individual patients and the society thanks to reduced load on healthcare institutions. Our objective was to assess the blood compatibility of both functionalized and non-functionalized recombinant spider silk by evaluating coagulation and activation of the complement system of the immune defense. Coagulation was evaluated visually on glass slides and complement activation was analyzed by measuring the concentration of the complement system mediator C3a in blood samples that had been exposed to the different materials. This study introduces a non-toxic and easy performed method of improving the blood compatibility of recombinant spider silk films by adding a heparin coating. Heparin coated surfaces had statistically significantly higher blood compatibility than uncoated surfaces. The effects of albumin coating of films were less clear compared to the results of heparin coated films. Complement activation could not be evaluated because of high activation in all samples prior contact with the materials that were included in the study..

Titel: Allt om mat & genus - En studie av hur tryckt reklam för livsmedel framställer kvinnor och mänFörfattare: Mikaela Askeroth-Grundén, Emma Jerklind och Lisa JohanssonKurs: Examensarbete i medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap vid institutionen för journalistik, medier och kommunikation, Göteborgs Universitet.Termin: Höstterminen 2012Handledare: Malin SveningssonSidantal exklusive bilagor: 47 sidorAntal ord: 14 560 ordSyfte: Att undersöka hur kvinnor och män framställs i tryckt reklam för livsmedel.Metod: Kvantitativ innehållsanalysMaterial: Tryckta annonser ur tidskriften Allt om mat, från år 2008-2012.Huvudresultat: Våra resultat visar att det finns betydande skillnader mellan hur kvinnor och män framställs i reklam för livsmedel. Män skildras generellt som professionella kockar och figurerar ofta i egenskap av kunniga på området eller kända på annat vis. Männen har även en högre genomsnittsålder. De framställs som aktiva och tillagar mat i större utsträckning än kvinnorna samt befinner sig oftare i sammanhang tillsammans med köksverktyg. De gör ofta reklam för livsmedel såsom kött, fågel och dryck.I majoriteten av annonserna innehållande kvinnor förekommer dessa som civila personer.
