The aim of this project is to optimise the sawing patterns used for sawing Scots pine at Säters Ångsåg AB. The thesis has a theoretical approach and does not claim to be fully applicable in a practical point of view. The input used in this project is last year?s sales volumes and prices of sawn products. The input of the timber is collected from the database ?VIOL?.

The thesis demonstrates a low-cost, low-bandwidth and low-resolution Analog-to- Digital Converter(ADC) in 0.35 um CMOS Process. A second-order Sigma-Delta modulator is used as the basis of the A/D Converter. A Semi-Uniform quantizer is used with the modulator to take advantage of input distributions that are dominated by smaller-amplitude signals e.g. Audio, Voice and Image-sensor signals. A Single-bit feedback topology is used with a multi-bit quantizer in the modulator.

This thesis investigates lacks in today?s use of the ERP-system Mapaz Affärssystem inthe production planning at Solna Pressgjuteri, and possible improvements. Today thedates calculated by the program to plan the orders are inaccurate and the ordersequence is not optimal, and therefore continuous manual corrections are needed.The approach was to study the program Mapaz to understand how it works, andidentify available parameters for input and output in the different tools offered in theprogram. By studying old lists of planned orders and relevant parameters in Mapaz forindividual orders, production groups, products and operations, the connectionbetween input and output parameters could be understood.Participating in planning meetings and discussions with the company behind theERP-system identified the current usage, desideratum and possibilities with theavailable tools. These were then matched to describe the reasons to the insufficientplanning and form possible actions for improvement.The work has showed poor understanding for the ERP-system and its functions, assome tools intended to assist the planning were not used, and some even usedincorrectly.

Traditionally risk-based measures have been used to assess animal welfare in legislation and certification schemes. With increased knowledge and research, debate today tends to focus on and advocate the use of animal-based measures. However this is not a panacea for welfare and the most sound conclusion should be that assessment of animal welfare needs both. The aim of this thesis is to identify the points that need to be taken into consideration to find the optimal balance in the use of input and outcome measures according to the aim of the assessment and how these should be applied when designing a certification scheme? To answer this, a comparison of the use of resource-based, management-based and animal-based measures in two certification schemes for dairy cow welfare, Freedom Food (UK) and Svenskt Sigill (SWE), was made.

Vår ambition med uppsatsen var att se om det finns ett orsakssamband mellan projekt InPUTs verksamhet och flyktingars förändrade levnadsvillkor efter ett permanent uppehållstillstånd (PUT). Uppsatsen är en kvalitativ studie kombinerad med kvantitativ statistik, under arbetet har vi triangulerat metoderna för att underlätta analysen. Vi har använt en frågeguide med några teman, och samlat in vårt material i en halvstrukturerad intervjuform. Vi har förutom nio flyktingar intervjuat fyra personal från projekt InPUT samt en personal från Rosengrenska Stiftelsen. Uppsatsens ska belysa vilka faktorer som på individ-, grupp-, och samhällsnivå påverkar flyktingars liv samt söka härleda om projekt InPUT är en av framgångsfaktorerna. I uppsatsen ämnar vi även undersöka vad mer som samverkar för att flyktingar skall få en bra tillvaro med goda levnadsvillkor i Sverige. För att kunna göra kopplingar till våra begrepp förändringsprocesser och levnadsvillkor har vi använt oss av teorier från socialt arbete med inriktning mot systemteori.

Det övergripande syftet med denna uppsats var att se vilka tendenser som finns i elevuppsatser som producerats kort efter att eleverna arbetat med grammatik. Hypotesen var att de elever som arbetat intensivt med vissa grammatiska moment också använder dessa oftare i fria uppsatser än elever som inte arbetat lika intensivt med grammatik. I studien jämförs en försöksgrupp som nyligen arbetat med tre grammatiska moment med en kontrollgrupp som inte gjort det. Resultaten relateras till nivåer i processbarhetshierarkin enligt Pienemanns modell. De processbarhetsnivåer som undersöks baseras på de grammatiska moment som eleverna tränat på: rak ordföljd, progressiv form och do-omskrivning.

Denna uppsats a?mnar utreda den upphovsra?ttsliga problematiken som uppsta?r vid anva?ndandet av generativ AI, med sa?rskild inriktning pa? musikbranschen. Uppsatsen underso?ker anva?ndningen av upphovsra?ttsligt skyddade verk som input i AI-system samt den genererade musikens upphovsra?ttsliga status. I syfte att utforska de tva? dimensionerna av generativ AI och upphovsra?tt fokuserar uppsatsen pa? relationen mellan input och output, med ma?let att belysa det komplexa sambandet mellan tra?ningsdatan och musiken som genereras.

In this thesis, input data for energy performance calculations on commercialpremises have been studied. In energy performance calculations, where internal heat gain parameters are unknown, template values that, in a reasonable way represent the activity in the room, are necessary. These values can be used as input data for whole-year calculations, or for calculations on shorter periods of time.The purpose of the Sveby project is to create standardized work practice in energy issues for the construction industry. The work in this thesis is conducted to correlate with the purpose of the Sveby project, with aims of contributing with information and guidelines for the continuing work with commercial premises.In this report, suggestions for template values for internal gains parameters, based on research and calculations in the field are presented. Suggestions on how these can be implemented in a user-friendly way for two energy performance calculation software are also given, VIP Energy and IDA ICE.

 Frågeställning: Vilka nyckelaktiviteter använder sig företag av för att skapa värde tillsammansmed sina kunder i sociala interaktioner?Syfte: Studien syftar till att undersöka vilka aktiviteter respondentföretagen utför i sinvärdeskapande process tillsammans med sina kunder och användare i sociala interaktioner meddessa.Metod: En kvalitativ undersöknings design där semistrukturerade intervjuer utfördes medmålstyrt urval av 7 respondenter från olika företag i olika branscher.Slutsats: Studien visar att de företagen som undersökts ägnar sig åt olika typer avnyckelaktiviteter i den värdeskapande processen med kund i sociala interaktioner. Det finns vissanyckelaktiviteter som är gemensamma för de olika företagen och vissa används mer flitigt ellerframgångsrikt än andra. Oavsett vilka aktiviteter som utförs och oavsett företag så visar studienatt det finns en grundläggande process. Denna består av att företaget skickar ut någon form avoutput som når kunden och engagerar denna.

The project was intended to produce a brush simulation plugin to the image processing program GIMP which would use a 6DOF drawing tablet for user input.Too ambitious goals coupled with compability issues between the resources used resulted in that no meaningful software was produced. Experience was however obtained, and this paper is intended to give an overview of relevant concepts for- and the process ofcreating a brush simulation..

This paper deals with diet and gender in the early roman iron age in Sweden. Human bone and tooth material from the Iron Age cemetery at Bjärby in Kastlösa parish on the island of Öland have been analysed for stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes. 21 individuals were sampled. Where possible 4 samples were taken from each individual, from the first, second and third molar respectively and from one compact bone. By doing so it is possible, at least in theory, to trace intra-individual diets throughout life.

During the cultivation season there are a several cropping activities to carry out. At what time these activities are carried out is affecting the result and also on the economy of the crop production. As the production costs are high in potato production, it is important to keep an eye on the economy. Profitability is the most important factor in most crop production systems. If the costs are not covered, it is difficult to justify the production.

This paper covers a study of the Swedish charging market for electric vehicles from both the perspective of stakeholders and car owners. By interviewing representatives of four key stakeholders on the market; commercial parkings, malls, service stations and working places, data regarding their business models of today is examined. At present electricity is provided for free, but all stakeholder point out that this business model is not sustainable in the long run. The result of the interviews shows that electricity won?t be offered for free in the future ? the question is which factors affect how long it will take for the different stakeholders to find a suitable business model.

This study was conducted at Glimek AB, a company that has chosen to decentralize its central storage unit in order to increase production efficiencies. The purpose of the study was to identify the problems in the production cycle that lead to the decision to decentralize the central storage unit, as well as identifying what the decentralization entails. The effects of the decentralization have not been analyzed in the study, and consequently neither financial nor production disadvantages have been considered.Appropriate questions were formulated based on the chosen underlying theories, and were asked to selected individuals with relevant knowledge. The study is based on the information that was gathered from interviews with management as well as staff within the company. In addition, supporting information such as flowcharts, drawings, orders and decision support documents were supplied by the company.
