The reindeer planning system (Renbruksplanen, RBP) is a communication and planning tool designed for Sami groups. A key purpose of this is that it will act as a tool in consultation with other market players, including forestry. Sami groups have asked for a Model of how this can be used in a flexible manner. With the Swedish Forest Agency as a project manager, a communication Model for how to use the RBP has been designed. It consists of a number of points divided into ?before?, ?during? and ?after? the consultation.

This paper describes the development of a simulation Model for the ambulance flow in the Västra Götalands-region of Sweden, and an analysis tool for the output of the simulation Model. The aim of the simulation Model was to be able to evaluate the outcome from changes in the ambulance operations, such as a reorganization of ambulances or an increase in intensity of the ambulance calls. This evaluation is meant to serve as decision support for the strategic planning of the ambulance operations. The analysis tool was developed to visualize the abundant geographical data produced by the simulation Model in a meaningful way. The simulation Model was validated against historical data which showed that the dispatch time for the highest prioritized ambulance calls corresponds well with historical data.

Many researchers emphasize the increasing strategic importance of supply chain management, but there is still a lack of concrete guidance for managers faced with strategic decisions in supply chain. Within decision-making theories, the rational decision-making Model is the most commonly used. This because of its suitable foundation, enabling a structure to the complex decision process. The rational decision-making Model is today not developed to include the aspects of strategic decision-making made in supply chain. The purpose of this research is to adjust a structured rational decision-making Model, making it applicable for strategic decision-making in supply chain.

This thesis treats the subject of a complete steady state and dynamic Model of the VSC-HVDC covering both the AC and DC system-side of the converter. The topology of the Model is recreated after the scheduled transmission line in the south of Sweden, called SydVa?stla?nken. The topology covers both a simple two terminal connection as well as a multi-terminal one. This Model is to be implemented in the power system simulation program ARISTO.

The purpose of this development project is to create a Model for working with a high school project in Electrical and Energy Program. It should be conducted in a form like companies do according to the goals from The Swedish National Agency for Education. In order to fully perform this we use the concept of Young Entrepreneurship. The Model is created according to the new conditions from The National Electrical Safety Board. There is now an exception saying that a student during education is released from the demand of employment that is the normal procedure where you are under supervision from a certified electrician. During the project there has been theoretical and practical examinations in order to clear out the advantages and disadvantages using this Model, but also to examine whether it is useful in the future and to what extent it can be used. The result indicates that the Model is useful and fulfills the goals from The Swedish National Agency for Education but that the Model has its limitations and difficulties.

An energy calculation Model for Swedish houses   that is fast, flexible and user-friendly has been developed within the   framework of this thesis.  The Model   also provides a set of actions which may be investigated in the Model based   on savings and payback period. Energy use in a house depends on the technical   conditions, such as building envelope and heating systems, which outdoor   climate the house is exposed to and who lives in the house. Energy use for a   house can be divided into heating, hot water and household electricity. There   are several methods to calculate the energy use of a house. This report   summarizes the methods that may be suitable for a fast and user-friendly   calculation Model.

Resultaten visar på att abnormal earnings Model är en mertillförlitlig Modell i förhållande till dividend growth Model. Dettafrämst då abnormal earnings Model grundar sig på mer tillgängliginformation samt att tillväxträntan i dividend growth Model harkonstaterats vara orealistiskt hög. Analytikers prognoser tenderaratt vara optimistiska i början av undersökningsperioden 2000-2002. Perioden 2003-2007 präglas mer av pessimistiskavinstprognoser. Marknadens riskpremie fluktuerar mindre underperioden 2005-2007, vilket kan förklaras utav införandet av IFRSår 2005..

The purpose of this Bachelor thesis in Economics at Lund University is to try to establish the correlation between the value change of retail real estate buildings in Sweden and macro economic variables. The principal method is the multiple regression Model and it is used to estimate the basic Model. The basic Model is enhanced by estimating some 30 Models and the result is two good Models. The difference between the basic Model and the two better Models are small but important. In the lagged basic Model, the same variables are used as in the basic Model but with different time lags.

This study reflects on the swedish Model and the Models future. The swedish Modelmeans that legisilation acts with the collective agreements . The wage issue is notregulated by law instead it is managed by the social partners in the form of collectiveagreements. In 2008, a report was presented by the Commission on a joint regulation ofthe minimum wage for all EU countries. The issue has become increasinglycontroversial and was especially disccused for the election of candidates to theEuropean Parlament last spring.

Accounting has been critized for being one of the leading factors in the latest financial crisis. One of the primary problem areas was identified as delayed recogonition of losses on financial instruments. Consequently, a new impairment Model is being developed and is to be namned expected loss Model. The difference from the present Model, incurred loss Model, is that it takes losses into consideration on an much earlier level. Even though the Model may be theoretically feasible, in practice it may implicate a number of issues.

This report treats a Master Thesis performed at Scania CV AB. The task was to create a computer Model of a hydraulic actuator system in the software AVL Hydsim. The system consists of two spring-loaded masses with surrounding hydraulic components. The purpose of the Model is to study phenomenon and problems in the system, as well as to be a support in the development of the system. It is not supposed to be used to study absolute values in its current form.

In this essay we strive to examine how the social work in Sweden will be affected if the Swedish welfare Model goes through fundamental changes. The study illuminates the close connection between the Swedish collective bargaining Model and the Swedish welfare system. The questions we present in this essay, and hopefully answer satisfactory, are: is the Swedish welfare Model subject to thorough changes? How will such a change alter the social work in Sweden?, is the Swedish collective bargaining Model in a state of modification? Would a modification in the collective bargaining Model have effects on the Swedish welfare Model?We have used a qualitative method in collecting empirical material. We interviewed three representatives, who worked for Confederation of Swedish Enterprise, IF Metall and The Swedish Municipal Workers respectively.

In this master thesis work, a new method called MultiScat, is compared with the conventional method with alfa-correction, for computing concentrations from intensities in X-ray spectrometric analysis. The conventional Model is a linear Model, which only takes the photoelectric effect into consideration. It doesn't consider Rayleigh and Compton scattering even though it has a great impact on the measured intensities. Here MultiScat differs a lot. MultiScat is based on a solution of the Boltzmann transport equation.

AbstractThe purpose of this study is to find out how pupils give expression of a water cycle Model and if the Model causes any misunderstanding. Two problems constitute the starting point for this investigation. The first question is: how do the pupils explain the water cycle with the help of the jar Model (can of glass). The other question is: can the children see any similarities between the can of glass and our earth. Qualitative semi structured interviews with seven pupils in the ages of 8-9 have been used to show the pupils? own thoughts and how they express them.

We have by Statistics Sweden (SCB) been given the task of using different dynamic regression Models in order to forecast service price index for sea transport. The aim is to see whether these Models provide better forecasts than those previously used. This essay aim to identify, estimate and evaluate the selected prediction Models. Through our data material we were given access to 28 sightings of sea transport index during the period of 2004 q1 to 2010 q4. We have chosen to evaluate three different transfer function Models, one ARIMA Model and one naive forecasting Model. The input variables we decided to test in our transfer function Models were the price of petroleum products, the port activity in Swedish ports and the lending rate of Swedish Central bank. The results of our study suggest that transfer function Models generally provide better Models than the ARIMA Model and the naive forecast Model.
