Active headsets have been on the market for years and now it is time for something else to enter the stage. The technology of active noise reduction can for exmple also be used in ventilation systems for reducing ventilation noise. An active control system principally consists of four important components, namely the downstream error microphone, the upstream detection or reference microphone, the digital signal processor (DSP) and a loudspeaker. The upstream reference microphone listen to the primary ventilation noise and sends it to the DSP which makes a phase shift to the signal and sends it to the loudspeaker. The loudspeaker sends out the opposite waveform of the incoming one and reduce the primary ventilation noise.

Luftvägssjukdomar är ett av de vanligaste hälsoproblemen hos kalvar och utgör en betydande kostnad för branschen. Luftvägssjukdomar är komplexa till sin natur och uppkommer endast då en kombination av faktorer som inkluderar djuret, miljön och infektiösa agens förekom-mer. Ofta är den primära patogenen ett virus och den påföljande lunginflammationen orsakas av bakterier. Ett bidragande virus, BVDV, har genom ett frivilligt kontrollprogram utrotats i Norden och det finns potential att utrota även BRSV. Genom en ökad förståelse för biosäker-het och hur ventilation av mikromiljöer, gruppstorlek och ålderssammansättning påverkar smittrycket och luftvägshälsan hos kalvar kan byggnader och management-rutiner som mini-merar risken för respiratoriska sjukdomar utformas..

?Studies have shown that patients receiving mechanical ventilation in an intensive care unit (ICU), who are entirely dependent on the nursing staff, often experience frustration due to a temporary loss of the voice source. Limited communication is an important factor contributing to patient discomfort. Nursing staff also report communication as frustrating and difficult.The aim of the present study is to introduce a neck-type electrolarynx as a communication aid in an ICU, to study the nursing staff experiences of communication with tracheotomized patients receiving mechanical ventilation, and to examine the patient´s experiences regarding communicative abilities. Communication between a ventilator treated, tracheotomized patient and members of the nursing staff was recorded and analyzed according to principles of Conversation Analysis (CA).The results show that several members of the nursing staff experience difficulties communicating with tracheotomized patients receiving mechanical ventilation.

Slutsatsen av denna studie är att hingstar på artificiell insemination inte verkar har sämre dräktighetsprocent än hingstar på naturlig betäckning. En annan slutsats som kan dras är att det inte är på grund av skillnader i betäckningsresultat som AI inte används mer utan handlar mer om andra aspekter. Uppfödare är eniga om att inseminering är en dyrare process än naturlig betäckning och det är mer pappersarbete. Seminstationerna menar mer att traditionen talar för sig själv och att uppfödarna hellre använder naturlig betäckning då man anser att hästarna ska få bete sig naturligt. Seminanvändningen bör öka mer då avelsdjuren ständigt ökar i värde och man blir mer rädd om sitt avelsmaterial..

This study was done regarding whether sealing or ventilation is the best solution to prevent moisture on cold attics. The authors of this report addressed the problem with moisture in attics when they started their cooperation with Peab.The methods included interviews with people, database research, and calculations of a project in Akersberga north of Stockholm. The conclusion is based on interviews and other information as they are analyzed in relation to the house of reference. The focus of this report is on problems with moisture in the attics known as cold attics.The background of the problem with moisture is that today?s slabs are usually insulated to save energy and that the attics nearly gives the climate as the outdoor climate.

This thesis is based on a case study for the real estate manager Mimer in Västerås. Mimer provides a great deal of this city?s rental apartments. Many of their buildings have ventilation systems with a type of heat-recovery called ?heatpipe?.

A passive house in Norra Djurgårdsstaden drawn by Tengbom Arkitekter is going to be built. A shaft for airing is needed for a few apartments in the house.The airing shaft is designed for a few two room apartments in the house, which are not able to achieve satisfactory airing, as their outer walls are facing a single direction. The other apartments on the same floor are corner apartments. These apartments do not have the same difficulty with airing since they have their outer walls in different directions, with different pressures at the facades. The airflow in the airing shaft is supposed to be driven only by natural forces, by the sun. The purpose of natural driven forces is to achieve low energy consumption for the house.In this thesis, a design of the shaft for airing has been developed.Initially an open shaft for all apartments was analyzed.

Aeroseum is an aviation museum located in an old military underground hangar. The ventilation system in the hangar is designed for the military purpose of the hangar. This design includes a solution with air flowing through the space between the construction of the hangar and the rock surface. The solution is intended to avoid a buildup of inflammable gases. This design leads too high humidity levels in the hangar.

Detta är ett examenarbete på grundnivå, 15 högskolepoäng. Examensarbetet är en energikartläggning med rekommenderade energieffektiviseringsåtgärder. Energikartläggningen är baserad på ett verkligt objekt vilket är en förskola i norra Gävle. Denna skola förvaltas av Gavlefastigheter.I Sverige går cirka 40 % av energianvändningen till bostäder och service. Därför finns det stora mängder energi att spara inom denna sektor.

AbstractEmbla 5 is an office building which has done a large improvement. The clients of this building has made an order of WSP and the student Anders Kempe to calculate the use of energy for the building, and after that result proposing further measures which can decrease the energy use of Embla 5.The ground for this report is when calculation of the present energy use of the building is stated. To make that information of a number of parameters such as envelope, the heating system and ventilation has been located and set in to the simulation program IDA ICE which calculate the energy use.To improve the energy use further this project has been concentrated to change the system of ventilation. Today the ventilation system is of the kind CAV (constant air volume) and the air flow is dimensioned for after recommendations from BBR and Arbetsmiljöverket in the office spaces. Consider that Embla 5  is an office building where the people only staying for 8-10 hours/day so was the ide to see how much energy saving if the air flow is reduced the time people not being in the building.

Detta arbete är en studie i hållbar gestaltning, där de många teoretiska principer appliceras på tre mycket olika platser på jorden. Tre ekologiskt hållbara enfamiljshus projekteras i Sibirien, i sydöstra Spanien, och i Stockholms inre skärgård. Husen är helt olika. Vitruvius sade: "Vi måste börja med att beakta de länder och de klimat som hus skall byggas i, för att gestalta byggnaderna rätt. En typ av hus är lämplig för Egypten, en annan för Spanien, och ytterligare en för Rom.

Syftet med mitt examensarbete var att undersöka om jag kunde få barnen att första att matematik är en naturlig del av deras vardag och om deras antalsuppfattning kom att förbättras under den här tiden. Undersökningarna till mitt examensarbete utförde jag på en friluftsförskola i norrbotten och försöksgruppen bestod av åtta barn i åldrarna fyra till sex år. Tillsammans med dem har jag gjort olika matematikaktiviteter. För att kunna "mäta" barnens utveckling har jag använt mig av kvalitativ intervju och under samma tillfälle fick de även utföra en liten räkneövning, dessutom har jag analyserat barnens teckningar. Jag tycker att jag har lyckats med att få barnen att förstå att matematik är en naturlig del av deras vardag men jag kan inte säga att jag har lyckats medatt utveckla barnens antalsuppfattning..

Today there is an increasing market for businesses concerning horses, and since we are already running such establishments we sort of speak already have a finger in the pie. Due tothe increasing competition and demands, new and more practical constructions have become a necessity. In doing this project I wanted to make a comparison between having a stable integrated with a manege and having both constructions kept separate. I wanted to compare different layout and make an estimate of costs to see which solution would be less expensive and better with regard to working environment. I will further also deal with different ventilation-systems andlight transmissions.
