SammanfattningSyfte och frågeställningarVårt syfte är att undersöka om platscheferna på ett byggföretag i Stockholm använder sig av några strategier för att kunna hantera de krav arbetet medför. Vidare vill vi ta reda på hur de beskriver och upplever sin psykiska och sociala hälsa.Vi utgår från följande frågeställningar:? Hur upplever platscheferna sin egen hälsa?? Gör platscheferna några medvetna hälsobringande val för att främja sin hälsa, och isåfall vad?? Vad använder sig platscheferna av för copingstrategier mot de krav arbetet ställer?MetodSom metod användes en enkät som bestod mestadels av öppna frågor. Efter ett bekvämlighetsurval skickades enkäten ut till 24 platschefer på ett byggföretag. Enkätsvaren sammanställdes varpå författarna analyserade och tolkade resultatet.ResultatPlatscheferna i studien har till synes en god självupplevd hälsa.

Personalen vid gatukontorets VA-avdelning arbetar dagtid, 3-skift eller har utöver sin ordinarie arbetstid beredskap, enligt ett roterande schema, för att vid behov träda i arbete. Detta har väckt funderingar på hur hälsan påverkas och vilka hälso-risker som finns. Företagshälsovården fick i uppdrag att genomföra en hälsounder-sökning.Syftet med undersökningen var att belysa vilka riskfaktorer som finns för de anställdas hälsa. Vad man vill ha svar på är medarbetarnas livsstil avseende kost, motion, alkohol och tobak. Likaså hur ser den så kallade medicinska statusen ut i fråga om blodtryck, kolesterol, p-glukos, Hb, BMI? Hur stressbelastande uppfattas arbetet av de anställda?Vid undersökningen användes enkäten ?Nattarbete?, som är ett standardformulär vid AB Previa.

This report analyzes disposable packaging and returnable packaging with the methods life cycle analysis and life cycle costs analysis. These two different packaging are analyzed through the company Clas Ohlson?s packaging-flow. To get a picture of how the flow works, a visit at the company and email contact have been done with Clas Ohlson to get relevant informationToday Clas Ohlson has a big flow of articles to the stores without larger variations in the demand, with the exception of autumn, which is when customers start shopping for Christmas. Clas Ohlson?s articles are placed on a pallet and are wrapped into plastic-film for protection and to make sure that nothing will be stolen.

In this report I will describe how an art-directed fluid effect for motion picture can be achieved. This effect will be an explosion with a visual style that is congruent with Pixar's movie Up. To begin with I will analyze the visual components that are used in Up and control the fluid simulation to get the desired visual style. I will briefly explain the background of my thesis, why it is interesting to create designed effects and why it is hard to design fluid effects. In the method I will explain my work process and some of the challenges that arises.

 Saab Microwave Systems (SMW) is a business unit within Saab AB that manufactures and develops different types of radar- and sensor systems for naval, airborne and ground based forces as well as within the market for civil security. In addition to the manufacturing of radar and sensor systems they also provide different types of service concepts. The business unit has 50 years of experience within the area of developing radar systems and is considered to be one of the market leaders. When applying an assemble-to-order production strategy with products at this level of cost price the product lead-time is vital and becomes an important part of the strategy within marketing and sales. Within SMW there is a new department called Supply Management (SM) that provides the supply of incoming and outgoing material. Within SM there are four sub-departments working with activities such as planning, purchasing, receiving inspection, storage and distribution.

Husqvarna AB operates two warehouses located in the area of Jönköping. The most important task is to manage the large volume fluctuations during the peak season. DHL Exel Supply Chain (DESC) run the warehouses and the domestic transportations is outsourced to DHL Express. A number of forwarder agents are responsible for distributing the export gods. In the present situation a bottleneck occurs at the warehouse loading section, and the consequence is fulfill the time of delivery for all customer orders.

Syftet med studien är att undersöka vilka uppfattningar idrottslärarutbildare har om vad som är viktig kunskap för eleverna i grundskolan att utveckla genom de tre vanligaste aktiviteterna i ämnet Idrott och hälsa, enligt NU-03. De tre vanligaste aktiviteterna är bollaktiviteter, lekar och träning/motion. Sju intervjuer genomfördes med idrottslärarutbildare från fem olika lärosäten i det svenska utbildningssystemet. De analytiska verktygen som användes var Arnolds (1979;1985) teorier med bildning om, genom och i samt Carlgrens (2002) beskrivning av de fyra kunskapsformerna. Resultatet visade att de förtrogenhetskunskaper som enligt idrottslärarutbildarna var viktiga att utveckla i de tre aktiviteterna handlade om att kunna värdera olika aktiviteter i förhållande till varandra eller använda kunskapen individen har i en aktivitet i ett nytt sammanhang.

The water level of Lake Mälaren has been regulated since the 1940?s. A recentinvestigation suggests that the current regulation needs to be adjusted in order toprevent a decline in water level, salt water from infiltrating from Lake Saltsjön,and risk of floodings. In addition to these preventions, the new regulation couldpotentially effect the natural environment and agriculture practices in the lowlands that surround the lake. The new regulation proposal calls for an increase invariations in Mälaren?s water level during seasons, while the annual mean waterlevel will remain the same.

The problems around and the planning of wood flow is some of the most complex issues in the forest-sector. The experience and overview of the single employees is crucial for the possibility of correct tactical and economical decision-making. The increasing demand of savings and shorter reaction-times with greater flexibility in the wood-supply-chain, makes solutions and aids for improved effectiveness in the work and processes according to wood-flow urgent. Holmen Skog is starting to develop a new forest-road-management-system. The system will facilitate the work according to construction, improvements and updating the standard of roads.

In many industries today, there is a growing emphasis on calculations. They are used to manage and control the activities in today?s organizations, one of these industries is the process industry.

This project was led on behalf of Bombardier Transportation in Västerås, Sweden, incollaboration with KTH Stockholm and EPFL Lausanne. This project is connected to thedevelopment of a new and simplified tilt system for rail vehicles.Growing competition from other means of transportation has forced railway companiesthroughout the world to search for increased performances.Travelling time is the mostobvious performance indicator that may be improved by introducing high-speed trains.They require very large curve radii and long transitions curves not to impairridecomfort, another performance indicator. Building new tracks adapted to high speedtrains is very costly and can only be justified where the passenger base is large.Trains with the capability to tilt the carbodies inwards the curve is a more cost efficientalternative. The tilt inwards reduces thelateral force felt by the passengers allowing thetrain to pass curves at enhanced speed with maintained ride comfort but increases thefrequency ofmotion sickness.The benefits of tilting trains are improved speed capability in curves and enhancedpassengers comfort, but at higher buying and maintenance cost. As the conventionaltrains increase their speed in curves, the performance advantage of tilting trains isreduced while their prize is still kept significantly higher and constant.

Hälta är idag den vanligaste orsaken till att sport- och fritidshästar behöver uppsöka veterinär. Den största andelen av dessa hältor uppkommer på grund av olika problem i hästens synovialleder, som inflammationer eller degeneration av ledbrosket. Felaktig eller för mycket träning liksom olämplig anatomi i leden leder till att ledens strukturer utsätts för onormal stress. Inflammationen börjar oftast i ledvätskan, ledkapseln eller det subkondrala benet. Genom inflammatoriska mediatorer såsom cytokiner sprider sig den inflammatoriska processen till närliggande vävnader.
