Syftet med arbetet är att försöka förstå hur sociala och strukturella villkor påverkar möjligheterna till att utnyttja ett ekonomiskt förtroende och befattning för att begå ekonomisk brottslighet. De frågeställningar jag önskat få svar på är:Hur kan ett ekonomiskt förtroende användas för att begå ekonomisk brottslighet?Vilka sociala och strukturella faktorer kan förklara ekonomisk brottslighet och vilka återfinns i Skandiafallet och muthärvan inom Göteborgs kommun? Vilka likheter och skillnader till motiven kan urskönjas mellan de åtalades berättelser i domen mot Skandia och den nuvarande muthärvan inom Göteborgs kommun?Då målet med arbetet hela tiden bestått av att få en större förståelse till de bakomliggande orsakerna till hur och varför dessa ekonomiska brott inom Göteborgs kommun begicks och för att därefter ha möjlighet att jämföra likheter och skillnader mellan informanterna. Därmed togs beslutet att genomföra en fallstudie, med hjälp av kvalitativt strukturerade e-post intervjuer med standardiserade frågor samt studier av domen mot Skandia.Resultaten av studien visar att befattningen och yrkespositionen skapar ett handlingsutrymme som är centralt för att kunna begå den här typen av brott. Dessa förutsättningar synes vara ett genomgående tema i ett flertal typer av ekonomisk brottslighet..

Transit Objects In the Master Essay I argue around two existing levels in the works presented at the graduation exhibition. On the one hand, it is about influence; on the other hand it is about the phenotypes of purpose-ness. In the introduction, I describe the relationship between the shapes that I have come to call Transit objects, and their on the one hand ideological superstructure; on the other hand, the different aspects of their shapes regarding the imitation I, in creating the objects, performed. In the case with the objects shape-aspects, I stand on the thoughts that I found during my bachelor's work, that is, to express the phenotypes of purpose-ness.When it comes to influence, I speculate about how linguistics, and particularly a branch called neuro-linguistics, illustrates how the arguments that make up our world can be transformed. I use a meta-model and a conversation model as a tool to illustrate this. When I, like that, illustrate the plasticity of meaning, and cognition, I note Catherine Malabous taught (in her book What Should we do with our brain?) on the plasticity of the brain in relation to the neo-liberal systems of capitalism. She argues for how the brain has come to stand model for the organization of different types of networks. I hint the link to a future scenario where the desire to influence takes new forms and uses the latest brain research challenges, more specifically the use of ultrasound for the treatment of pain and other similar conditions. This also can be used as generating various types of seizures, pleasant or unpleasant.

Trade Unions are finding it increasingly challenging to appeal to employees and all trade unions alike are encountering new challenges to attract and retain members. Additionally a more diversified and educated labor market is creating demands for trade unions to better meet individual needs. The purpose of this study was to explore and analyze the role of branding in Unionen, the largest white-collar trade union in Sweden, and how branding efforts help in attracting and retaining trade union members. The theoretical foundation of this thesis is based on theories related to corporate branding and relationship marketing. Furthermore, the study develops and introduces the concept of member branding in the context of trade unions.

This thesis deals with the field of warehouse management, focusing on frequency control of stock. The purpose of the thesis is to reduce the warehouse staff mileage by placing an article based on its number of picks, i.e. how frequently it gets picked. In order to achieve relevant results the following four questions have been answered in the thesis: How should the articles be placed with regard to the picking frequency?Which factors, if any, needs to be addressed beyond the picking frequency when articles are placed based on frequency?Can the present picking system be improved?Is frequency placement with regard to the picking frequency profitable to implement for the company?The thesis is based on literature studies and on the data that has been collected from the company?s business system.

Syftet med denna undersökning har varit att underlätta för företaget Re-Load att presentera sin lastpall som produkt för potentiella kunder. Syftet har också varit att stötta Re-Load till att bli licenserad EUR-pall samt att successivt ersätta befintliga lastpallar och långsiktigt exekvera företagets affärsplan. Målet har varit att undersöka produkten avseende lönsamhet, miljöinverkan och hur den påverkade arbetsmiljön. Under-sökningen har genomförts med ett befintligt flöde där produkten använts och utifrån detta kunde en flödesstudie samt en komparativ produktstudie utföras med en alternativ lastpall. Med data hämtat ur detta flöde utfördes en investeringskalkylering, miljöberäkningar, subjektiva intervjuer samt dokumentation.

The essay shows that temporary agency employees work in a complex business. Both labor and management differs from other businesses in the Swedish labor market. Regarding the unemployment insurance, they have previously been separated from other businesses through legislation. Based on the essay question regarding workers protection has the statutory rights for employees been strengthened. This by the implementation of the directive on manning into Swedish law and now covers all workers in the business.

There is currently no activity or behavior meters validated for sows under Swedish conditions where the sows are loose-housed during farrowing and nursing. An activity meter could in particular be used to detect sows that are getting ready for farrowing. Assistive technology in order to register different behaviors would be extremely useful in research and breeding. In this study, a HOBO Pendant G data logger was validated for two different functions. First, the function as a pure activity meter in which the accelerometer's ability to detect an upcoming farrowing was evaluated, and second, the accelerometer's ability to distinguish between the behaviors standing up, sitting down, lying ventrally and lying laterally on the right and left sides was evaluated. The accelerometer was attached to a collar around the sow's neck, and was recording its location every two seconds for six hours a day for ten days on a total of twelve sows.

Bakgrund och problem: Stora förändringar har skett i tillverkningsindustrin sedan i början av tjugohundratalet. Företagen måste ständigt utvecklas och söka nya sätt att organisera sig för att kunna vara konkurrenskraftiga i dagens globala marknad. Detta föder nya problem och frågor om hur de kan vara kostnadseffektiva och ha en personalflexibilitet som följer volymsvängningarna. Det har funnits bra uppföljningar och kostnadskontroller på kollektivsidan, men inte på tjänstemannasidan. Detta väcker två frågor.

This thesis concerns waste management on construction sites and was conducted on behalf of ICA Fastigheter.Areas of concern:How can an environmentally-efficient waste management system on construction sites be defined? What potential exists for exploiting the waste resources that are generated?How can the waste management be optimised by reducing the quantity of waste and by optimal sorting?How can the client of a project influence the waste management?The purpose of the work was to investigate sustainable waste management in the building and construction sector and to highlight waste as a resource from an environmental and economic perspective.The aim of the work was to define an environmentally-efficient waste management system, to analyse the potential that exists in waste management and to draw up guidelines for optimal waste management.The method consisted of a literature study, two visits to construction sites and four interviews.An environmentally-efficient waste management system means that the waste is managed in the following order of priority:Prevention     Reuse  Recycling     Energy recoveryLandfill     The prevention of waste is an important area that has not been adequately explored by the building and construction industry. The quantities of waste could decrease with the implementation of measures such as ordering materials in the dimensions required, prefabricated components, logistics centres with Just-In-Time deliveries, less and improved packaging and less wrapping. The reuse of waste materials and temporary apparatus as well as the use of a return pallet system are examples of reuse that reduces the quantities of waste.In most cases the source sorting work is a matter of course and the proportion going to landfill is down at a low level. The source sorting can be optimised by sorting all materials that can be reused and recycled to use them as a resource.

This report is the result of a thesis carried out at the Department of Innovation, Design and Technology (IDT), at Mälardalen University on behalf of ABB AB Machines.The year was 1988 when ASEA and Brown Boveri formed a joint venture under the name ABB (Asea Brown Boveri).We perform our thesis at the division Discrete Automation and Motion where they primarily develops, manufactures and sells synchronous and asynchronous AC motors and generators.The main purpose of this thesis was initially to write a general packaging instruction, but the priority changed to develop more specific packaging instructions for Rotors, Stator gables, Bearing support and Outer Cover (plates) instead.The work started off to deal with a problem about that the staff had to start its work to grind away rust on the stator gables due to those stored outdoors. The result was mainly an investment in a new gable rack so that the material can be stored inside, as well as a packing instruction as it was originally intended.The problem on the bearing supports were that the staff thought it was demanding and difficult to clean them from the rustproofing they were greased in. If it is not possible to remove all rust protection it can cause the paint to not attach properly. After having compared with similar articles a test were done to order a pair of bearing supports without corrosion inhibitor, which gave good results. This initiative also set in motion a process to do the same for more different items.For special pallet, a survey were made of the process with two different VSM and a calculation of how much ABB would earn at ordering more special pallets than getting the material delivered on the A-pallets.

This examination work is the final work in our education to become a Bachelor of Science inMechanical Engineering by the University of Lund.The main purpose with this work has been to develop a new effective material handling system for TPPM AB in Lund since the existing system starts to become out of date. The future system that is going to be installed shall have the capacity to support all machines with unit-, semi- and finished goods during full production. The work has also included studying the possibilities to change the material flow in a positive way between the storage and the production when one is using existing buildings.During our work we have been used a simulation program called AutoMod, performing company visits, interviews and reviewed internal and external information to create a picture of what the best conclusion can be. During the work we have contacted five suppliers to receive system solutions and quotatioris. The suppliers, which have been contacted, are Swisslog, Moving, Rocia, Christensen & Hansen and ABB.

Huvudmålet med detta examensarbete var att undersöka om det för Södra timber är ekonomiskt hållbart att tillverka engångspallar till pelletsproduktionens tilltänkta säckningsanläggning i Långasjö, gentemot att köpa in engångspallar från en extern leverantör. Detta gäller då för 30 000 engångspallar om året.Intervjuer togs på Södra timber i Långasjö om vilket virke som var lämpligt från företagets sida att bli av med. Detta visade sig vara brädor av 19x75 mm och 75x75 mm. Dessutom beslutades i ett tidigt skede att en engångspall med måtten 1200x800 mm är en bra lösning då detta är europastandardens mått. Olika alternativ togs fram för hur man skulle kunna ta fram materialet och sänka produktionskostnaderna och avsåg då brädor 19x75 och klossvirke 75x75.

The forest industry is anonymous among the young people of today. Many youngsters do not know what the forest industry has to offer. As a result of this, many schools and forest have a weak recruitment. This is not a problem for Sweden and the forest industry only, many other businesses companies suffer from in Sweden and other countries in Europe share the same image problem. The interest and values of young people drives them to look for opportunities in other betterknown sectors with better image and reputation. Many companies report having problems with recruiting the best and right employees and fear that the recruiting-problems will increase when the older generation born in the 1940?s will retire.

Distrilux International AB, a company within the Electrolux-group, works among other things with storing of products from other companies in the Electrolux-group. This rapport contains a cost analysis of the two Distrilux warehouses in Motala and Mariestad. The company offers five services in these warehouses, in-loading of products from a local factory and from external factories, storing, out-loading of products to Sweden (domestic) and for export. Since there has been some hesitation of the accuracy of the price-model of today, a master's thesis has been advertised. The purpose of the thesis has been to investigate the agreement of the price-model of today and the apportionment of the costing in warehouses.The main problem is to determine which activities is to be considered important in the price-model.
