Syftet med arbetet har varit att undersöka om en viss arkitektur kan anvÀndas för att underlÀtta utvecklingen av ett Back Office-system till ett befintligt och komplext verksamhetssystem.För att grÀnsa av arbetet och hitta de delar som var intressanta att fokusera pÄ genomfördes intervjuer med tre olika personer som hade olika syn pÄ ett Back Office-system genom sin yrkesroll. Intervjuerna resulterade i ett antal önskemÄl för vad man ville uppnÄ med ett Back Office-system.Arbetet resulterade i en arkitektur som kan anvÀndas för att underlÀtta utvecklingen av ett Back Office-system till det befintliga verksamhetssystemet samt till verksamhetssystemet sjÀlvt. Arkitekturen har utvÀrderats genom att man först stÀllde en mÀngd krav pÄ den och sedan studerade hur den klarade av en mÀngd nya krav som delvis var relaterade till de gamla kraven.Alla tester som gjorts visar pÄ att arkitekturen Àr vÀl designad och lÀtt att underhÄlla samt att den kommer underlÀtta den fortsatta utvecklingen av verksamhetssystemet och dess Back Office-system..

The purpose of this Masters thesis is to compare the scheme structure of two national classifications system, namely the Swedish SAB system and the German ASB. It has been assumed that there are no major differences between the two models of classification systems or the main classes into which documents are placed. The classification theory and subject analysis, which form the basic theory on which my research is based, are taken from Dahlberg, Langridge and Rowley. A comparison of 30 monographs classified in the SAB system Sveriges allmĂ€nna biblioteksförening and in the German ASB system Allgemeine Systematik fĂŒr öffentliche Bibliotheken showed that the classification structure was primarily responsible for determining where a particular document was placed. However, despite the fact that the subject in various documents may be similar, my research will demonstrate that the structure of the two codes also depends on different interpretations of the main subject in a document.

Detta examensarbete Àr en litteraturstudie, som Àr baserad pÄ bÄde Àldre och nyare vetenskaplig litteratur, samt populÀr facklitteratur. Syftet med detta examensarbete Àr att ÄskÄdliggöra tvÄ problemomrÄden inom den svenska kennelverksamheten/hundaveln. TvÄngsparningar av tikar Àr ett stort djurskyddsproblem som strider mot svensk djurskyddslagstiftning. Trots att denna metod medför lidande hos tiken anvÀnds den flitigt hos verksamma kennelÀgare, samt hos avelsdjursÀgare. I facklitteratur, som privatpersoner kan komma i kontakt med, illustreras detta övergrepp i detalj, fast dÄ under namnet parningshjÀlp. Denna s.k.

The purpose of this essay was to compare the Swedish and the Japanese pension system and see if there were any big differences or similarities. I was looking for answers to such questions as if the systems were modelled with the problematic demographic situation in mind and also how these two countries had tried to manage the problems. Path dependency was also a central conception when I studied the reforms of the two pension systems. I mainly used literature and Internet sources in my study. There were many books on the Swedish pension system and the debates that had been going on since the 80's.

In this Thesis the possibilities of designing a larger building that is very energy efficient in the sense that it would not need a conventional heating system are discussed. Solar radiation transmitted through the windows, internal heat from occupants, lamps and electric appliances inside the building and heat recovered from the ventilation system then have to be sufficient for the heating of the building. This study is of general interest since the property company, Akademiska Hus, plans to use this study as a first step in determining if this technique could be used in the future and thus be worth further investments. A building without a conventional heating system of the size investigated in this project has not yet been built.The energy needed for the heating of the building was simulated using VIP+.The conclusions from the study are that it is possible to build large buildings without any conventional heating system. This could be achieved in many different ways, for example by lowering the inside temperature or by using better windows and heat recovery system with higher efficiency.

The report is the result of a master thesis at ENEA AB during the fall of 2009. Itaims to create a specification of flash memory management system which focuseson power efficiency and low RAM usage for embedded systems, and to design andimplement a prototype of such a system to facilitate further development toward thecreated specification. The system used by ENEA today is a Flash Translation Layer(FTL). It has a complex structure which prohibits modifications and customization,therefore a new flash memory management system needs to be developed.The suggested solution uses a translation layer called Metadata FTL (MFTL), wherefile system metadata and userdata are separated from each other in order to improveperformance. The partition holding userdata uses a block-level mapped translationlayer system called Fully Associative Sector Translation FTL.

En viktig del i reproduktionen Àr drÀktighet och förlossning. De Àr naturliga men komplexa processer med oerhört mÄnga faktorer involverade och ibland gÄr det inte som det ska. Idag sker de flesta hundförlossningar fortfarande i det privata hemmet eller hos uppfödaren, men det Àr inte alltför ovanligt att hundÀgare söker veterinÀr hjÀlp för nÄgon form av dystoki, dvs. svÄrighet i samband med förlossning. Den hÀr litteraturstudien försöker bringa klarhet i vad man idag vet om de maternella orsakerna till dystoki, om det finns nÄgra predisponerande faktorer och huruvida man kan vidta nÄgra förebyggande ÄtgÀrder. Den utgÄr ifrÄn hur en normal drÀktighet och förlossning hos hund förlöper och belyser vanliga parametrar som idag anvÀnds för att kontrollera att allt stÄr rÀtt till.

The purpose of this paper is to make an analysis of the urban Roman water system. I have chosen to work with the system as a general field, not as a case study of a single town. In my opinion such a study would not give a proper and fair view of the subject. Therefore, this paper will discuss the different parts of the system, each one for itself and name examples wherever possible, to give a wide survey of the reality of the Roman water supply system. The aim is to give the reader a clear picture of different solutions used in the time of the early Roman Empire and a good understanding of the subject..

Tillverkande företag har under de senaste Ären stÀllts inför en förÀndrad marknadssituation, vilket innebÀr att de fÄtt förÀndra sitt arbetssÀtt frÄn en produktionsorienterad syn till en kundorienterad syn. Den kundorienterade synen innebÀr att företag snabbt mÄste kunna stÀlla om sin produktion för att tillfredsstÀlla kundens behov.MPS-system (Material- och ProduktionsStyrningssystem) Àr mycket effektiva hjÀlpmedel vid snabba beslut och omplaneringar, de ger dessutom möjlighet att ge kunder direkt besked om orderstatus. MPS-system tenderar att bli stora och komplexa, de har kontaktytor mot nÀstan alla delar i företagen.MÄnga företag idag köper MPS-system. Stora företag byter gamla förÄldrade system och allt fler smÄ och medelstora företag inför MPS-system. Kommande milleniumskiftet Àr ocksÄ en orsak till att flera företag byter sina MPS-system idag.Med detta vÀcktes intresset för att undersöka om företag som investerar i dyra MPS-system verkligen fÄr ut det de förvÀntar sig av dem.

A performance measurement system can be used as a means to evaluate past performances and to communicate prioritizations. It has also been proposed that a performance measurement system can serve as a method to execute strategies, guide in operational decisions and constitute a tool for making the organization more efficient. Yet one may question if such a system will ever reach this capacity if operating managers do not utilize it as a management tool, but rather treat it as a mere report in the bunch. This paper explores how middle managers in fact apply performance measures and what obstacles there are to integrating them in the management of subunits. Furthermore it serves to investigate whether these managers experience a conflict between how they are expected to use the measures and what they deem possible to adopt.

I have done a comparative gender study of Library of Congress Classification from 1900 and 2001. I have also used a hermeneutic method and ideological critics to find out what picture of women the both systems shows. In my comparative study of the both systems I have found low update of classes which relates to women in the new classification system. Men seem to be a norm in the system, because men are not defined in classes related to both men and women. But many classes related to women are named Women as and Women in The study also shows that women are more related to subjects about family and marriage than men are.

VÄrdsektorns IT-system fungerar inte optimalt ur anvÀndarsynpunkt dÄ acceptansen bland de olika professionerna Àr lÄg.  NÀr IT-systemen inte klarar av att stötta vÄrdaktörerna i deras dagliga arbete sÄ kan det medföra en rad olika följder sÄ som stress, tidsbrist och minskad patientsÀkerhet. DÀrför ser vi att IT-systemen bör utvecklas ut anvÀndarsynpunkt för att klara av att fylla sin funktion som ett hjÀlpmedel i vÄrden. Denna uppsats Àmnar undersöka hur anvÀndarinvolvering vid systemutvecklingsprojekt i vÄrden kan utvecklas. Genom en intervjustudie sÄ kartlades den nuvarande situationen i vÄrden. Med detta som utgÄngspunkt har vi sedan föreslagit tekniker och verktyg som kan hjÀlpa leverantörer och bestÀllare att förbÀttra anvÀndarinvolveringen vid implementering av nya IT-system i vÄrden.Nyckelord; IT-system i vÄrd, anvÀndarinvolvering, Participatory Design, systemutveckling.

This thesis investigates management accounting systems in a Swedish health care environment. Through a qualitative case study of an activity-based cost accounting system that was introduced in 1994 at S:t Görans Sjukhus, a large Stockholm hospital, the following questions are addressed: What benefits can an activity-based cost accounting system offer the Swedish health care providers? What are the potential problems impeding the implementation of such a system? Main findings: an activity-based cost accounting system can improve the understanding of where costs are generated in the production processes. Comparisons between alternative production processes are improved, and the data may serve as a basis for internal pricing measures. Concerning the second question, difficulty in reconciliating the principles of economic control with the culture present in a hospital is identified as the main obstacle to a new management accounting system..

IT exist and are needed in larger organisations today, this creates possibilities for new applications. It has become more frequent with IT within HRM which has developed new concepts like e-HRM and HRIS which links IT and HRM together. We have through qualitative content analysis of interviews investigated how IT-tools affect HR-workmanship. The purpose is to create a basis for describing how employees experience their work with HR within a PA-system. The basis of the PA-system will then answer if it contributes or limits the employees and their activities.

The Swedish Library Classification System, known as the SAB-system, can be viewed as a product of the cultural and social norms and values in Sweden during the time in which it was created and subsequently reviewed. The main purpose of this master?s thesis is to examine the archaeology section J in the SAB-system, in order to observe if values and norms within this discipline had any impact on the Swedish Library classification system. Our intention is therefore to verify any correspondence between the choice of topics and hierarchical structure of that section, and the values and norms that ruled the Swedish society during the 20th century at large but with particular emphasis to the academic discipline of Archaeology. At the present, Archaeology is often disputed as a value-free interpretive science.
