The Goal with this Master of Science thesis is to expand the possible turbine efficiencymeasurements on an exhaust turbocharger. It was done as a part of the CICERO competencecentre. To feed the turbine with air a special flow rig has been used. Instead of loading theturbine by just restricting the compressor flow a docking system for an electrical dynamometer isdesigned to use the dynamometer as an additional loading source. By using an electricaldynamometer as loading device for the turbine, measurements are not depending on compressorperformance.A large part of the work consists in designing accessories for the dynamometer.

En sammanfattning av uppsatsen på maximalt 8000 tecken.This thesis is mainly dealing with the mobility of the employees within the borders of the European Union. Legislative framework from the EU is favourable and the Commission has set as one of it goals to promote the migration. Globalisation trends and contemporary business concepts need people who are mobile on the other hand. But migration numbers are still low within Europe. The purpose of this thesis is to find out how much the legal uncertainties, and the different culture mentality in the workplace of another country act as barriers in the minds of the people who wish to work abroad.

Syftet med denna uppsats var att förstå de bakomliggande motiven till att kvinnor från Ryssland har valt att emigrera till Norrbotten för äktenskap med svenska män. Studien är regionalt begränsad till Norrbotten och undersöker även kvinnornas förväntningar på livet med en svensk make och deras upplevelser i det nya hemlandet samt hur det har påverkat deras identitet. Studien är kvalitativ till sin ansats och det empiriska materialet bygger på djupintervjuer med tio kvinnor från Ryssland i åldrarna 25 till 50 år som flyttade till Sverige efter äktenskap med svenska män. De teoretiska utgångspunkter som varit vägledande i tolkningen av det empiriska materialet har varit begreppen identitet, reflexivitet och trygghet. Studiens resultat visar att de bakomliggande orsakerna till kvinnornas migration från Ryssland till Sverige var ekonomiska och sociala otryggheten, deras längtan efter att uppnå den kulturellt betingade kvinnoideal som kvinnorna inte kunde förverkliga i deras situation i Ryssland, visionen om bättre värld i Väst.

During the years 1950-75 was the construction of building apartments in high speed. A rapidly growing reconstruction requirement is the consequence of the rapid construction speed in these years. The technical lifetime of the different parts of the buildings is about to end and the needs for reconstruction is huge. One of Sweden's national environmental objectives is to reduce the urge of energy in buildings. This calls for radical measures to implement energy efficiency of existing assistance particularly in the assistance that is now facing reconstruction.

By conducting interviews, studies as well as scanning the current scientific landscape, this paper examines the opportunities of increasing current capacity within the public transportation system in Stockholm with simple financial means for the benefit of the travelers. The paper focuses on the central station of the subway system and how adjustments of processes carried out in relation to the turnstiles could increase performance within areas of interest, given the preferences of the travelers. The theoretical framework of the paper includes models from the field of capacity management as well as theories related to the pedestrian behavior. Applying these theories and models to the collected data, the paper derives some main conclusions. First of, people using the public transportations system, and especially the subway, consider speed and dependability as the most important performance objectives for the caretakers of the public transportation system, SL and MTR to master.

In Lake Vänern, Sweden, there is an endemic population of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) that lives its entire life in fresh water. The salmon is hindered from migrating to its natural spawning sites in the northern part of the River Klarälven by nine hydro-electric power plants. None of the hydro-electric power plants have fishways so that salmon migrating upstream or downstream may pass. In the current situation, the upward migrating salmon are caught in a fish trap at the most downstream located power plant in Forshaga. From there, the salmon are driven in a truck, past eight power plants and released a few kilometers upstream of the eighth power plant at Edsforsen.

Syftet med studien är att öka kunskapen om inomeuropeisk migration till den svenska landsbygden. Fokus ligger på nederländare som under 2000-talet flyttat till Klarälvdalen i Värmland och där driver turistföretag. Mot bakgrund av tidigare huvudsakligen kvantitativa studier är syftet att fördjupa kunskapen om inflyttarnas bakgrund och motiv till migrationen och om hur de använder sig av transnationella nätverk i sitt nuvarande liv. Kvalitativ metod används i form av intervjuer med familjer/turistföretagare. Vidare har webbsidor för sjutton turistföretag som drivs av nederländare i området studerats, kompletterat med några webbsidor och en intervju med turistföretagare från ett annat nordeuropeiskt land.

Isabella Löwengrips karriär tog fart genom att hon 2005 startade en blogg där hon delgav omvärlden delar av sitt liv som tonåring. Hennes blogg växte snabbt till en av Sveriges mest lästa bloggar och hon gjorde sig känd under namnet Blondinbella. Isabellas personliga varumärke har under de senaste sex åren genomgått en ompositionering på marknaden från att ha varit en ytlig skönhetsbloggare till att idag vara en av landets främsta unga entreprenörer. Den här studien avser en fördjupning i ompositioneringsprocessen och en jämförelse av hur Isabella framställde sig själv i sin blogg 2006 respektive 2012. Studien baseras på material från Isabellas blogg och analyseras genom en kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Analysprocessen sker i två steg, först en beskrivande analys av det manifesta innehållet i materialet och därefter en tolkande analys av det latenta innehållet.

The simple view of reading is a theory in which reading is divided into decoding and linguistic comprehension. The theory has been used to explain and to subgroup reading disabilities. Research has also investigated if additional factors are of relevance to reading. In the present study, decoding was divided into the factors orthographic decoding and phonological decoding, while comprehension was divided into word comprehension and grammatical comprehension. The purpose was to analyze these factors and their contribution to reading ability in children in fourth grade: one group with reading difficulties (n=36) and one group with typical reading ability (n=36).

In today's agriculture efficiency and the capacity of tools and machinery are crucial. In this work we investigate whether it is possible to enhance the capacity of sowing by increasing the work speed of seeders, how seed technology affects seed placement, and if there is any difference between two different brands of seeders and their sow techniques. The seeders we have chosen to compare are Väderstad Rapid drill and Amazon Cirrus drill. The tillage capacity of the seeders and their traction power needs were examined as well.Väderstad Rapid and Amazon Cirrus were tested in a randomized block design with four replicates at three different speeds, 8 km/h, 12 km/h and 15 km/h. The seed placement at the different speeds was examined by dividing the seedbed into four different zones from its surface to its bottom.

Undersökningen bygger på åtta kvalitativa intervjuer. Respondenterna är komvuxelever med utländsk bakgrund som har kommit till Sverige av olika anledningar. Syftet med intervjuerna har varit att undersöka hur eleverna funderar kring sina framtidsplaner och hur de upplever att befinna sig i två kulturer. Vidare har vi undersökt deras erfarenheter av studie- och yrkesvägledning. Vi har också utgått från teorier om kriser, migration, kultur, identitet och vägledning.

It is estimated that 22 000 contaminated areas exist in Sweden today. In order to classify the risk of contaminant migration from these areas and to prioritize which of these contaminated areas should first be treated, the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has designed a method, for the investigation of contaminated areas (MIFO). One of these contaminated areas is the landfill Gräsötippen outside Köping. The landfill has been used by both Yara AB and the Köping municipality between the years 1945 and 1975, and both industrial and household waste have been deposited there. The aim of this report is to survey which contaminants that can be found in the soil and water in the landfill Gräsötippen and to evaluate the migration of these contaminants.

An increasing amount of companies and organizations are starting to implement the use of cloud computing in their business. This trend results in that software, which was previously sold and distributed to the customers whom then had to install the software on their own computers, now is being replaced with Software as a Service (SaaS). SaaS makes software available through the customers? browsers, which results in that the service providers only have to administer a single application. The process to migrate a distributed application to a service delivered as a SaaS lacks sufficient investigation; this paper will provide some guidelines for conducting such a pro- cess.

This bachelor essay studies families that have migrated from countries in Europe to Sweden,and their experiences of adapting to new conditions of the Swedish welfare state. Theirexperiences are studied firstly from an institutional point of view, which refers to the family?s experience of adapting family life to Swedish family social policy. Secondly it focuses how the families experience new norms and values connected to Swedish family social policy. The main aim is to seek what problems families migrating to Sweden might be confronted with when adapting to new conditions of the welfare state.

Denna uppsats syftar till att utreda ifall den interna migrationen i dagens Sverige skett på ett sätt som överensstämmer med de antagande som humankapitalteorin gör om migration, samt att utreda om det finns ett samband mellan individens humankapital och dennes benägenhet att flytta. För att undersöka detta ställdes följande hypoteser: 1. Individer som har ett stort humankapital, d.v.s. är högskoleutbildade, har en större benägenhet att flytta än individer med ett litet humankapital, d.v.s. som saknar högskoleutbildning.
