The existence for companies today consists of constant challenges with customers that want more individual products with high quality as quickly as possible. For a company to be able to have a short delivery time, it must also have a short production time. This makes streamlining and improvement of processes a big part of a company?s workThis thesis has been carried out together with the company Lasermax Roll Systems AB, a world-leading manufacturer of feeding, finishing and monitoring systems for high-speed digital printers. They manufacture their products according to the assembling for costumer order principle.The purpose with this thesis is to map and analyze, the assembling process and the test process at Lasermax Roll Systems AB.

Inledning: Gymnasieelever som upplever ett starkt socialt stöd från lärare och klasskamrater rapporterar i högre utsträckning en positiv psykisk hälsa. Under flera decennier har svenska skolungdomars psykiska hälsa försämrats och socialt stöd från lärare och klasskamrater är viktigt för att stävja den nedåtgående trenden. Metod: 243 gymnasielever mellan 17-20 år (M=17.91) besvarade en enkät om upplevt socialt stöd, emotionella symtom, generell stress, kamratproblem, psykosomatik och välmående i skolan. Svaren analyserades i SPSS genom Kruskal-Wallis H-test, Mann-Whitney U-test, det icke-parametriska post-hoc testet av Siegel och Castellan (1988) samt Rosenthals (1984), ekvation för effektstorlek. Resultat: De elever som upplevde ett högt socialt stöd rapporterade i högre utsträckning en positiv psykisk hälsa.Dessutom, beroende på om det var socialt stöd från lärare eller klasskamrater varierar kopplingens styrka till de fem aspekterna av psykisk hälsa.

SyfteSyftet med studien var att bedöma rörelseutförandet under testet enbensknäböj hos en grupp elit/subelit långdistanslöpare och om, och i så fall hur rörelseutförandet påverkas av uttröttning. Syftet var också att undersöka om det förelåg ett samband mellan subjektiv bedömning vid enbensknäböj och ledvinklar kalkylerade vid tredimensionell (3D) rörelseanalys.MetodTio löpare från löparklubb utförde enbensknäböj. Vid testet poängsattes rörelseutförandet enligt en bedömningsskala samtidigt som 3D kinematisk data inhämtades via datorbaserad 3D rörelseanalys. Tjugosex markörer placerades bilateralt på anatomiska landmärken på bäcken, lår, underben och fot. Därefter sprang försökspersonerna 15 minuter på ett löpband enligt ett utmattningsprotokoll.

The ability to tackle NP-hard problems has been greatly extended by the introduction of Metaheuristics (see Blum & Roli (2003)) for a summary of most Metaheuristics, general problem-independent optimisation algorithms extending the hill-climbing local search approach to escape local minima. One of these algorithms is Iterated Local Search (ILS) (Lourenco et al., 2002; Stützle, 1999a, p. 25ff), a recent easy to implement but powerful algorithm with results comparable or superior to other state-of-the-art methods for many combinatorial optimisation problems, among them the Traveling Salesman (TSP) and Quadratic Assignment Problem (QAP). ILS iteratively samples local minima by modifying the current local minimum and restartinga local search porcedure on this modified solution. This thesis will show how ILS can be implemented for MSA.

With the growing amount of citizens with another mother tongue than Swedish, the need for assessment instruments in other languages than Swedish within the Swedish health care increases. To enable this, the knowledge of multilingualism and adequate assessments are required. The aim is to develop a modern Arabic version of a screening material that is comparable to what is used in the Swedish clinic in the assessment of people diagnosed with aphasia. In the present study, Short Aphasia Examination (Kortfattad Afasiprövning), which is one of the few screening material is available in Swedish and among the ten most frequently used assessment materials (Blom Johansson, Carlsson & Sonnander, 2011). Translation and adaptation was made to the Standard Arabic (KAPARABISKA) and Arabic dialect of Hadari (KAPHADARI).

The aim of my study is to investigate if and in that case how the writing process and texts written by students in the upper secondary school are affected by the writing tool; does it matter if they write their texts on a computer or by longhand? Another objective is to compare such an effect with the findings of previous studies performed on earlier generations of writers. The first part of my study was a survey. It showed that two thirds of the 67 students participating thought that they would have written better texts in the national writing test if they had been able to use computers. In the second part of the study each of the fourteen participants wrote one text on computer and another by hand.

Background: Phonemically balanced word lists are used when obtaining speech recognition scores in noise. These lists are designed for adults, but are still used for children. To properly obtain speech recognition scores in noise for children, normative data is needed to show what differences there are to be expected between children of different ages. Purpose: The main purpose is to obtain normative data for children in the ages of 7, 10 and 13 years for speech recognition scores in noise using words and to compare these with each other and with normative data of adults. A further purpose is to examine if there is any practice- or exhaustion effect to be seen when obtaining speech recognition scores in noise for children in the ages of 7, 10 and 13 years.Material: The participants were ten 7-year-olds, ten 10-year-olds and ten 13-year-olds.

Denna studie syftade till att undersöka om Typ A-beteende utvecklades och förstärktes i yrkeslivet eller om det utvecklades i ett tidigare skede före personen hade påbörjat sin utbildning och bara hade vaga föreställningar om vad som skulle krävas i yrkesrollen. Typ A-beteende förkortat TAB karakteriseras av ett antal olika personlighetsdrag ett av de mer framträdande är att personen är extremt tävlingsinriktad och högpresterande. Urvalsramen omfattade tre yrkeskategorier i Västra Götalands län. Deltagarna från de tre yrkeskategorierna var 21 polismän 14 lärare och 16 ingenjörer. Deltagarna fick genomföra ett av författaren egenkomponerat test för denna undersökning.

Abstract PurposeThis thesis aims to focus on how master students administer scholarly articles after they have found them. The purpose of the study is to detect how and to what extent people administer their articles from a personal information management-perspective (PIM).MethodTo answer the research questions, a web-based questionnaire survey was distributed which was announced to around 2,000 master students from different universities in Sweden. Most of the items in the survey focused on individual storage methods. The respondents were asked to rate the frequency of their different information administration behaviors on a seven level Likert-type-scale. Subsequently, items concerning specific information administration behaviors were posed, followed by questions on the respondent's sociodemographic status.

The animal welfare act in Sweden states that dairy cows need to have at least a dim light present at night, but there are no recommendations for what intensity the light should have. It is unknown how cows perceive and react to low light intensities and earlier studies on this topic are limited. Red light as night light has also been suggested, based on the cows? inability to perceive red light. This have however been questioned. The aim with this study was to investigate how four different light intensities affect dairy cows behavior.

The aim of this essay is to create an understanding, of how teachers comprehend knowledge, grades and tests in a school context. It is important to get a grip of the different parts of the teacher?s reality. The test, the grades and knowledge are deeply connected as a part of a whole. The teachers view on knowledge can not be understood without asking about the practical parts of their work and understand how the different parts are dependent on each other.The main material consists of interviews with four teachers that work in a public mandatory school in the south suburbs of Stockholm.
