I denna rapport har det utförts två fallstudier från två olika vindkraftsanläggningar och med hjälp av en utarbetad modell har livscykelkostnaderna jämförts för de två fallstudierna.Resultatet visade att livscykelkostnaden per producerad kWh sjunker allteftersom den installerade effekten blir högre.Kostnadsmodellen som utarbetats och tillämpats för resultaten har visat sig ha hög verifierbarhet då resultaten har varit jämförbara med litterära studier..

This master thesis has been performed at Solvina in Gothenburg for Skellefteå Kraftand Vattenfall Eldistribution. The aim of it is to investigate the consequences of theinstallation of a wind power plant on the mountain Uljabuouda in the vicinity ofArjeplog. Especially the impacts on voltage and transient stability are examined.Furthermore, the amount of extra strain on the voltage regulation equipment and theneeds for increased regulation capabilities are looked into.The wind power plant is planned to be built by Skellefteå Kraft and connected to a130 kV grid owned by Vattenfall Eldistribution. The work comprehends the followingmain parts:- Theoretical studies aimed at wind turbines and power system stability issues.- Modelling of the type of wind turbines assumed to be built on Uljabuouda.- Simulations of different operation cases and analysis of the simulation results.The results from the simulations show that, as far as voltage stability and extraworkload on tap-changers are concerned, the wind power plant does not, in anysignificant manner, worsen the present conditions. The problem of overloading theline between Arvidsjaur and Vargfors is also minor.

Denna rapport handlar om hur utbildningsfilmer skapas. Syftet med rapporten är att förklara hur arbetet gjorts med att skapa utbildningsfilmer. Hur det går till, steg för steg, när en utbildningsfilm skapas och vad som är viktigt att tänka på när man till exempel filmar eller redigerar. Det kommer att finnas bilder med förklarade text så att det ska vara lätt att förstå samt få en inblick om hur det kan se ut. En utbildningsfilm kan exempelvis följa en föreläsning eller beskriva en operation och den används till att utbilda studenter.

Mechanical scaling is one of the most complex operations of all in the mining process. The operators are using both hearing, sight and feel to read the rock and to know where to scale and where to leave. They say they go on gut feeling in great extent, something that comes with experience. The scaling machine is placed into the edge of unsecured and newly blasted rock to hammer off the blocks that has become loose after the blast, but not enough to fall down. It goes without sayingthat it is a risky job.

The river Selångersån runs through thenorthern Swedish city of Sundsvall, splittingthe city in two as it winds through thevalley between Södra- and Norra Stadsbergetand out into the Baltic Sea.The river is a national interest of nature conservationbut at the same time in the middleof an urban development string for the city,creating a complex situation of developmentcontra conservation of natural environment.This project attempts to create a strategy oflandscape urbanism for the area surroundingSelånger Bay, four kilometers upstreamalong Selångersån. A sensitive wetland, todayrather forgotten but with great potentialfor introducing wild nature as an active partof the city. Or rather, initiating a processwhere the built environment can infiltrateand enrich the natural environment gradually.A city park in this location to initiate thisprocess could be a joint project of the city?sresidents with the scope to become a projectin constant development.The idea of the project is to offer a large ecologicalpark and meeting place near the citycenter. This will be achieved by clarifyingthe activities and values that already existin the park, such as the largest living deltai the region, football fields and a medievalchurch ruin, and by creating new paths.

Postoperativt illamående och kräkningar, PONV, drabbar 30-35 % av alla vuxna patienter som genomgåren operation under generell anestesi. Konsekvenser som PONV kan leda till är bland annatelektrolytrubbningar, förlängd vårdtid, allmän fördröjning av rehabilitering efter operation samtsårrupturer. Läkemedel mot PONV har studerats grundligt, dock uppnår endast 30 % av patienternatillfredsställande effekt samtidigt som flertalet biverkningar besvärar patienterna. Sjuksköterskan har enviktig uppgift i att motverka komplikationer som uppkommer vid vård och behandling och en kritisk frågavar om den komplementära metoden akupressur är en lämplig metod att använda i detta avseende dåläkemedelsbehandling inte räcker till. Syftet med uppsatsen var således att beskriva och värderabevisvärdet av effekterna vid akupressur mot PONV för att kunna bidra med evidensbaserad omvårdnad.Metoden som användes var, att bidra till evidensbaserad omvårdnad med grund i analys av kvantitativforskning, och 12 kvantitativa studier som ansågs bidra med evidens analyserades i resultatet.

The mobile jukebox is an idea for a new kind of smartphone application that would allow users to dictate the music playing at various establishments. The mobile nature of the innovation allows for the possibility of a more ubiquitous service. Conducting a quantitative as well a qualitative study, the authors have found significant interest in this innovation service among potential users and potential distributors of the service. Furthermore, it is shown what aspects are important for decision makers to make a decision on whether to integrate the service into the operation of potential distributors of the service.  .

This article discusses desirable political representation within the framework of representative democracy. In the desirable representation it is the responsibility of the politician to balance authoritative decision making with responsiveness towards the voters. The article intends to make visible the ethical complexity within representative democracy. Ethically the commission to represent is further complicated because the political parties constitute a central role in the political life and request loyalty of the politician. At the same time the politician is elected by the voters and thus the representative has to balance the dual representation.The politician can meet supplementary but also contradictory norms of action in decision taking.

Ett föränderligt medielandskap fordrar en anpassning från företagens sida och därmed ett nyanserat sätt att skapa marknadsföring. I en värld där konsumenter tenderar att vara alltmer aktiva i köpprocessen uppkommer nya typer av marknadsaktörer. Studien undersöker hur detta nät av aktörer samarbetar för att skapa en marknadsföringskampanj anpassad efter det rådande medieklimatet. Centrala begrepp för undersökningen är nätverk, resurser och samskapande av värde som tillsammans utgör utgångspunkten för studiens analysmodell. Med utgångspunkt från Volvos framgångsrika marknadsföringskampanj Made by Sweden har fyra intervjuer med representanter från aktörer som varit med i arbetet bakom genomförts.

This text examines the ideological positions, as they appear in texts of central importance, of four Swedish protagonists ? Antipiratbyrån, Konstnärliga och litterära yrkesutövares samarbetsnämnd, Creative Commons i Sverige and Piratbyrån ? in copyright issues. The critical analysis is focusing on three themes ? economy, culture and civic rights and responsibilities ? and poses the questions of how the ideology of the protagonists relates to the changing processes between culture and economy in the society of today, and which interest of classes, understood in Marxist terms, they favour. Before defining the theory and method of the inquiry the authors give their understanding of the changing processes between economy and culture.

SAMMANFATTNINGInledning och bakgrundFörekomsten av övervikt och fetma ökar stadigt i Sverige och runt om i världen samt klassas som en allvarlig folksjukdom. Fetma bär med sig en rad konsekvenser som är direkt hotande för hälsan och visar sig i fysiska och psykiska besvär. Den mest effektiva behandlingen mot fetma är överviktskirurgi och det vanligaste ingreppet i Sverige samt det som visat bäst resultat är gastric bypass operation. Vid detta ingrepp minskas magsäcken så endast en liten ficka finns kvar, vilket medför ett begränsat intag av måltider samt ett minskat näringsupptag. Efter operationen kan individen inte längre följa sina gamla vanor och förändringar i kroppen sker vilket kan leda till att många omställningar uppstår.

Mobile telecom and the Internet are converging, which opens new possibilities for market actors to create business through the mobile handset. At the same time market experts are predicting that mobile operator?s existing dominance in the telecom market will in the future decline as new technology such as VoIP and services will erode the operator?s traditional revenue model. This implies that mobile operators will need to rethink their dominant business logic to create new value for their customers. Mobile operators are aiming to expand their existing revenue model through advertising in the mobile handset and are searching to create new business models that evolve advertising sales.
