Under de senast fem åren har det inom den svenska polisen genomförts flera större organisations- och arbetsmetodreformer. 2005 började Rikspolisstyrelsen arbeta med en av dessa, Polisens underrättelsemodell, PUM. Inom ramen för denna arbetsmetod ska Verktyg för planlagd operativ polisverksamhet, VPOP, användas. Denna rapport undersöker hur väl arbetet med VPOP fungerar och attityden till att arbeta med detta på ordningsavdelningen hos polisen i Umeå. Resultatet baserar sig på studier av centralt producerade dokument angående PUM och VPOP, och på intervjuer med olika befattningshavare på ordningsavdelningen i Umeå.

The release of green house gases and the environmental impacts humans have on the environment are huge and might cause irreversible changes to our earth. Meat is considered to have large impacts on the environment, especially beef meat and therefore there have lately been considerable discussions on the sustainable level of meat consumption and production. The main goal with this thesis is to study sustainable meat production and meat consumption in the county of Dalarna in Sweden. Indicators for sustainable meat production and meat consumption were developed and applied on three cases. Interviews were carried out with a municipality in the region that represents the consumer and three beef farmers that represents the producers.

Vid den perioperativa dialogen möter den perioperativa sjuksköterskan patienten vid tre tillfällen i samband med operation. Detta har visat sig komma både patienter och sjuksköterskor till godo. För att införa perioperativ dialog krävs förändringar i organisationen. Syftet med arbetet var att undersöka vilka förutsättningar som krävs för att införa och arbeta med perioperativ dialog på operationsavdelning. Arbetet är en pilotstudie med kvalitativ ansats, där chefssjuksköterskor intervjuats.

Scania InfoMate develops web applications that support truck distributors and workshops with the necessary tools for an effective maintenance process. However, the end-users of these applications are faced with as many different graphical interfaces as there are applications. As a consequence, important effects of recognition are lost, developers spend unnecessary time designing new solutions for each application and Scania InfoMate does not present a homogeneous brand image towards its customers.Therefore the aim of this study is to give a suggestion of how a standardized graphical interface for web applications at Scania InfoMate should be designed. The given suggestion should come from thorough investigation of both end-user needs and recent research within the area of usability. In addition to a standardized interface this study also aims to deliver guidelines that support future web application development at Scania InfoMate.Through a combination of methods, mainly heuristic evaluation and user interviews, an elaborate description of usability and consistency problems in a defined web application portfolio is produced.

Social insatsgrupp är en strukturerad samverkan mellan i första hand polis, socialtjänst och skola med målen att förhindra nyrekrytering av ungdomar till kriminella grupperingar samt att underlätta avhopp från kriminella grupperingar. I examensarbetet har jag undersökt vad begreppetunga i riskzonen innebär för professionella från polis och socialtjänst i social insatsgrupp i Södertälje kommun. Södertälje kommun är en av de tolv kommuner där Rikspolisstyrelsen inrättat pilotverksamheten social insatsgrupp på uppdrag av regeringen. Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur representanter från myndigheterna polisen och socialtjänsten i samverkansprojektet social insatsgrupp i Södertälje kommun definierar unga i riskzonen. Detta med målet att försöka förstå vilka ungdomar som blir selekterade att ingå i projektet..

Ocean Modules Sweden AB is a small business active in the field of underwater technology. Thecompany was contacted by the Swedish Defense Materiel Administration (FMV) in order todevelop a new system that would conform to their specific requirements. Two students at theRoyal Institute of Technology (KTH) were consulted in conjunction of this project in order to aidthe development and conceptual design of the system.The primary users of the system are the divers of the Explosive Ordnance Disposal division (EOD)- a branch of the Swedish Armed Forces. The purpose of the product was to incorporate allnecessary functions required by the EOD divers into one single system. The main functions arecommunication between the surface operator and diver, video recording, still imaging, positioning,navigation and ocean floor mapping with sonar.

Recently there have been a lot of talk a about the financial crisis and recession. This is understandable since the crisis, which initially was limited to the U.S. now has spread its concern globally in form of bankruptcies, less investment and lots of people have lost here jobs. The purpose of this thesis is to examine how the financial crisis have affected the construction industry relating to market and personnel, but also examine what measures the construction companies have taken. The examination was carried out by information received from the majority of construction-related websites which then was followed up with interviews in the various construction sectors.

Restrictions in nature conservations are increasing the influence of forest management. Nobel broadleaved forests are more influenced than other forests, because they are considered to be more valuable than other forest types in Skåne. There has been a lack of knowledge about the amount that is set-aside for nature conservation and what types of forest that is concerned. These are the main questions to be answered in this thesis. Moreover has the timber quality been compared between set-aside and non-set-aside areas since it affect the financial conditions for the forestry in nobel broadleved forests. The last asked question deals with the financial consequences of set-aside.

The purpose of this report is to study the relationship between the rescue service fire prevention activities and the number of arson fires in schools. An objective of the project is also to investi-gate the need of developing national methods for fire prevention. The results are based on a questionnaire study among 35 fire departments and further interviews with five of them. The results indicate that there is a relationship between the rescue service fire prevention activities and the number of arson fires in schools. The relationship is positive in the sense that arson fires in schools decrease with increasing prevention activities.

Bemötandefrågorna får allt viktigare betydelse i dagens polisarbete. Detta gäller i möten med såväl vuxna personer som barn. En bra kommunikation mellan barn och vuxna kan ha en avgörande roll i en brottsutredning. Med denna rapport vill vi belysa vikten av ett bra förhör med barn, hur ett barnförhör skiljer sig från ett förhör med en vuxen person, och varför det skiljer sig. Vi studerar faktorer som påverkar barnet i samband med ett förhör och i hur stor utsträckning barnets ålder och utveckling inverkar på förmågan att minnas.

Abstract In high voltage substations there is an increasing demand for computerized equipment, and automation of operation and supervision. The future primary equipment will provide the possibility to collect more information and to provide better control for improved effectiveness. Since ABB has got a large customer target, each product must be custom made to fulfil the customers (often from different countries) demands. Later these products will be configured by engineers who may not be familiar with the tools used at ABB. This is a very expensive and time consuming.

Bakgrund: Fibromyalgi är ett syndrom som kännetecknas av utbredd smärta,överkänslighet vid beröring men även att övriga delar av kroppen påverkas.Metod: En litteraturstudie har genomförts där 10 stycken vetenskapliga artiklar haranalyserats och utgjort resultatet.Syfte: Huvudsyftet är att undersöka möjliga riskfaktorer som kan påverka utvecklandetav fibromyalgi.Resultat: Studiens resultat har tagit upp fyra teman med tänkabara riskfaktorer.Traumatiska barndomshändelser, där både fysisk och verbal misshandel och sexuelltutnyttjande var riskfaktorer. Att bli utsatt för trauma som vuxen, där fysisk misshandel,operation och arbetsrelaterad skada ingick, var också en riskfaktor. Stress och ett högtBMI-värde var också riskfaktorer relaterade till utvecklandet av fibromyalgi.Diskussion: Studiens resultat visade på att det är flera riskfaktorer som påverkarutvecklandet av detta syndrom. Alla som utsätts för en av dessa riskfaktorer utvecklardock inte fibromyalgi, utan med största sannolikhet så är det en kombination av flerariskfaktorer som gör att man utvecklar fibromyalgi.Slutsats: Det behövs mer forskning för att studera sambandet mellan fysiska, psykiskaoch sociala riskfaktorer..
