EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) är ett sätt att elektronisk överföra affärsdata direkt mellan olika företags datasystem. För många mindre företag med begränsade resurser, har understandarder som Edifact och XML visat sig vara alltför kostsamma, tidskrävande och komplicerade investeringar. Under senare tid har det kommit nya alternativ som särskilt ska underlätta för dessa företag att bedriva e-affärer. En sådan lösning är ebXML (Electronic Business using XML). Frågan är om ebXML är eller kommer att bli ett bättre alternativ än Edifact, lämpat för de mindre företagens behov och förutsättningar.

ESAB is a world leader in production of welding consumables and equipment. The company manufactures, among other things, welding electrodes. A roller straightening unit is used in the cutting process to straighten the wire, which the welding electrode consists of, by adjusting some of the rollers during operation. According to ESAB?s standard and the European machinery directives, moving parts of machinery, such as rollers of the roller straightening unit, must be out of the operator?s reach.

Biogas is a renewable energy source that is produced by anaerobic digestion of organic mate-rial. In Sweden, biogas predominately comes from sewage water sludge and landfills or from organic waste of households and industries. Small scale digestion plants at farms are espe-cially expected to contribute to increased biogas production in the future. Biogas can be ob-tained directly in it?s raw form and used as fuel in a combustion chamber.

The idea for the project emerged when Nilorn wanted to get better control over their supplychain and improve operational efficiency. The company also want to reduce their expenses inthe continuous process of improving profitability. By choosing the right option oftransportation and mode of transport there are large potential savings for the company. Thisenables Nilorn to reduce the transportation costs and strengthen the environmentalresponsibilities by reducing their environmental impact.The flow of goods within Nilorn has over the past years increased significantly and most ofthe gods today is transported by air. The aim of this thesis is to analyse the supply chain of thecompany and evaluate the potential economic savings in this area.

Arbetet syftar till att genom en litteraturstudie samt ett antal kortare intervjuer som skickas ut via e-post göra en grundläggande undersökning av CFRP (Carbon fibre reinforced polymers) därtill hur användningen av förstärkningsmetoderna ser ut idag. Rapporten skall ta upp hur projektörer bör arbeta när de träffar på produkter som är nya på marknaden.Att förstärka betongkonstruktioner med kolfiberförstärkning har blivit allt mer vanligt under de senaste åren. Även stålband eller stålbalkar används för att förstärka bjälklag och liknande konstruktionselement. Anledningen till att en byggnad eller annan typ av konstruktion måste förstärkas kan bero på ett flertal olika saker, bland annat om byggnadens användningsområde ändras.Kolfiberförstärkning är i jämförelse med stål mycket starkt i förhållande till sin vikt. Tunna förstärkningar gör stor skillnad.

Article 4.1(h) in the Rome I regulation establishes which law that will be applicable on contracts concerning financial instruments concluded in multilateral systems. The main problem is that most contracts concluded within these systems have standard clauses which contain a clause on the applicable law. If this is the case, Article 3.1 in the Rome I Regulation is applicable instead. This problem makes it difficult to find a need for article 4.1(h) if it will only be applicable in exceptional cases. However, the legal position on this matter is still unclear since the Rome I Regulation has just been put into force.

GE Healthcare operates in Uppsala (Sweden) and develops systems, equipments and medium to purify medical substances. Discussions with the local authority concerning planed far-reaching changes and upgrades of the biological process techniques for sewage management, aroused the question about revising the terms of permit for the activity. Therefore it seemed necessary to evaluate a newly installed biological process technique, which is the background of this thesis. The evaluated biological treatment process was built in 2003 and consists of a biological reactor filled with moving bed carriers with a high surface area for biological growth. At the time of the project the biological wastewater treatment plant consisted of a flow equalization facility and two following parallel biological processes; a biological reactor with moving bed carriers and a tower trickling filter.The aim of this thesis was to survey the function of the biological reactor with respect to the reduction of organic matter.

The ability of a dog to perform some kind of practical work, for example hunting or herding, depends among other things on its behavioural characteristics. In animal breeding it is not always easy though to select for behavioural traits. It may, for example, be difficult to identify traits that are not only heritable but also of importance for the dogs' ability to perform the practical work of interest. Moreover, it is often difficult to accomplish accurate measurements of behavioural traits. When selecting dogs for breeding, it is usually preferable to evaluate them using an objective and standardized bahavioural test, rather than results from field trials.

This paper is a study of documentary film production with focus on the filmmakers choice and usage of sound equipment. Using professional articles and literature have first of all helped us determine a standard for the conventional use of sound equipment in documentary film. Afterwards, by analyzing our own interviews we?ve received answers on how filmmakers relate to the conventional usage and why they select equipment as they do. Thereafter, we describe a technical method which helps a filmmaker to be able to record sound for documentary film on his/her own, using simple measures without reducing quality.

Förslaget att slopa revisionsplikten för små företag i Sverige är ett högaktuellt ämne som berör många olika grupper i samhället så som revisionsbyråer, små företag, kreditgivare och Skatteverket. I april 2008 lämnades ett delbetänkande från Statens Offentliga Utredningar som föreslår att 96,5 procent av Sveriges företag ska tillåtas att slopa revision. Uppsatsen fokuserar på hur stora revisionsbyråers verksamhet kommer att påverkas eller redan har påverkats av en lagförändring samt hur arbetsfördelningen mellan redovisning och revision förväntas förändras. Författarna har intervjuat revisorer på Sveriges fyra största revisionsbyråers lokala kontor i Jönköping. För att få en uppfattning om hur branschen anpassar sig till lagförslaget presenteras information om auktoriserade redovisningskonsulter och Standard för redovisningskonsulter samt att förhållandet mellan redovisning och revision förklaras.

Sverige hade under 1800-talet mycket låg standard på bostäder, det var trångbott och ohygieniskt. Industrialiseringen orsakade urbanisering och bostadssituationen i landets storstäder var oduglig.År 1965 blev startskottet för genomförandet av miljonprogrammet vilket innebar att en miljon bostäder skulle byggas under en tioårsperiod. Målet med programmet var att trångboddheten och bostadsbristen skulle byggas bort.Idag har de tidigare problemen med bostadsbrist har återigen uppstått och situationen har blivit mer och mer kritisk i Sveriges större städer, särskilt i Storstockholm.Det är framförallt tre faktorer som påverkar bostadsutformningen; politik, ekonomi och familjekonstellationer. Utifrån dessa faktorer presenteras förslag på fyra typer av flexibla framtida.
