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.

Ett sätt att undersöka kvaliteten i en lödfog är att kontrollera dess täckningsgrad med hjälp av ultraljud. Detta är en teknik som GKN Aerospace använder, bland annat för att kontrollera lödfogar på en specifik flygmotorkomponent. För att komponenten skall kunna godkännas krävs det att alla fogar uppnår den önskade täckningsgraden. De fogar som inte uppfyller kraven måste lödas om tills de kan godkännas. GKN önskar öka effektiviteten genom att minska behovet av omlödningar.

In recent years, the Swedish railway track system has been neglected in terms of capacity and maintenance. To adapt the existing system to current traffic load there is a great need for extensive improvement and maintenance. Shortcomings are especially occurring on older embankments running over soft subgrades. To select the most suitable method for reinforcement of the embankment, it is important to evaluate different solutions from a life cycle cost perspective. In long-term perspective, it is often shown that a method with low investment cost causes a higher maintenance cost and a shorter technical lifetime.

Syftet med detta examensarbete är att effektivisera monteringsprocessen genom att hitta en lämplig produktionslayout i den gemensamma monteringsavdelningen. Rapporten bygger på följande frågeställningar:1. Hur fungerar den befintliga produktionslayouten för de fyra olika teamen?2. Vilken/Vilka kriterier kan påverka effektiviteten i den gemensamma monteringsavdelningen?3.

Geothermal energy can be extracted from an aquifer, where the groundwater is used as heatexchange medium while heat and cold are stored in the surrounding material in the aquiferand to some extent in the groundwater. Application of aquifer storage for the use ofgeothermal energy is mainly used in large scale facilities and is limited to sites with suitableaquifers in the form of ridges, sandstone and limestone aquifers.Löwenströmska hospital in the municipality of Upplands Väsby, north of Stockholm, islocated nearby the northern part of the Stockholm esker. This means that it can be profitableand environmentally beneficial for the hospital to examine the possibilities of aquifer storagein the esker material next to its property.The purpose of this master thesis has been to investigate if geothermal energy storage with aseasonal storage of heat and cold can be applied within Löwenströmska hospital?s propertyarea using groundwater modeling. A hydraulic groundwater model was constructed inMODFLOW based on a simplified conceptual model of the groundwater system.

Ett av de vanligaste fodermedlen hos jordbrukare i Kampala är drav, en biprodukt vid ölframställning. Hög efterfrågan, dyr transport samt dålig lagringskapacitet leder till att tillgången på drav begränsas. Ett sätt att lagra drav och således förbättra tillgängligheten är genom ensilering. Denna studie genomfördes som en Minor Field Study, och var en del i ett projekt mellan SLU och Makerere University, ?feed for livestock in urban/peri-urban areas of Kampala?.

Change is a natural state for both people and institutions, but as the surrounding world moves faster it becomes important to quickly be able to adjust to new conditions. Customers? force of negotiation increases as the global competition grows. One factor that becomes more vital to customers is the amount of quality standard a company can offer them. Several factors are essential if a work of change will be considered a successful investment, where the change can be perceived in both a positive and negative way for an employee.

Syftet med uppsatsen är att göra en marknadsundersökning på drivmedel, som har till ändamål att klarlägga den rådande marknaden liksom hur marknaden kan komma att se ut i framtiden. Med drivmedelsmarknad avses distributionskedjan och kostnader för drivmedel ur slutkonsumentens perspektiv, samt slutkonsumenternas efterfrågan på förnybara drivmedel.För att komma fram till syftet har vi tittat på vilka drivmedel som finns, vilken tillgänglighet de har och vilka kostnader som användningen av varje drivmedel medför. För att titta på marknadens efterfrågan på förnybara drivmedel har vi intervjuat ett transportföretag och ett landsting om hur de ställer sig till miljövänligare drivmedel och kostnaderna dessa medför. Vi genomförde då en kvalitativ undersökning genom att intervjua Caland Transport AB och Landstinget i Värmland.Marknadsundersökningen på drivmedel omfattar de fossila bränslen bensin, diesel och naturgas, biobränslen etanol, metanol, biogas och vätgas, samt eldrift. Vi har tagit reda på kort om drivmedlets aktuella/potentiella produktion liksom energiinnehåll (produkt), men har lagt fokus på distributionskedjan (plats) och kostnader (pris) ur slutkonsumentens perspektiv.

Studie av koldioxidgradienter i havets ytskiktSofia SöderholmDenna studie bygger på ett nyligen utvecklat instrument som har mätt koldioxidkoncentrationer på tre olika djup i vattnet samt en nivå i luften. Då detta instrument var oprövat i vatten har en utvärdering av mätmetodens lämplighet för vattenmätningar utförts. Syftet med mätningarna var att undersöka ytvattnets vertikala koldioxidgradient för att med hjälp av denna kunna beskriva flödet av koldioxid mellan hav och atmosfär bättre. Detta flöde är en viktig del av den globala kolcykeln och en djupare förståelse för koldioxidflödets beteende kan i framtiden bidra till mer noggranna klimatprognoser. Hur de beräknade flödena från profilinstrumentet påverkas av temperaturgradienterna i vattnets ytskikt har även det studerats.
