Degree project in Logistics, 30 credits, The Business Administration and Economics Programme, Linnaeus University, 4FE05E, Spring 2013Authors: Ida Nilsson & Malin Skacke Tutor: Peter Berling Examiner: Helena ForslundTitle: Increased profit potential by controlling customers? ordering patterns -­? A case study at OatlyBackground:Oatly manufactures and sells oat-­?based products and deliveries are today carried out through an external distributor. The company is going through a re-­?organisation and will in the future be managing stock keeping and planning of deliveries with their own resources. The customers? present ordering frequency and volume differ substantially, leading to unnecessary costs.

The idea for the project emerged when Nilorn wanted to get better control over their supplychain and improve operational efficiency. The company also want to reduce their expenses inthe continuous process of improving profitability. By choosing the right option oftransportation and mode of transport there are large potential savings for the company. Thisenables Nilorn to reduce the transportation costs and strengthen the environmentalresponsibilities by reducing their environmental impact.The flow of goods within Nilorn has over the past years increased significantly and most ofthe gods today is transported by air. The aim of this thesis is to analyse the supply chain of thecompany and evaluate the potential economic savings in this area.

Wastewater handling of private sewage systems has become an all increasing matter. In Stockholm region the 90 000 private sewage systems contribute with larger phosphorus flows to the Baltic Sea than the two biggest sewage plants in the area, Henriksdal and Käppala, contribute together, even though these two plants purify wastewater from more than one million inhabitants. When summer house areas turn into areas for permanent living ? transition areas ? the load on the existing systems increases, systems that already often are unsatisfying. In those areas it is not clear what the best system choice is; On-site systems for single households; Local collective systems or Connection to central systems.

Målet med examensarbetet var att ett trådlöst mätdatainsamlingssystem ska tas fram för att ersätta det trådburna insamlingssystem som idag används vid FOI i Bromma, vid mätning på vindtunnelmodeller. Projektet innefattar konstruktion, inköp, dokumentation, test och utvärdering. En del i projektet är att utvärdera ett nytt CAD system för kretskortskonstruktion.Enligt framtagen kravspecifikation konstrueras ett signalkonditionerande kort som förstärker, balanserar och filtrerar insamlad signal samt ett processorkort som digitaliserar och skickar konditionerad signal trådlöst till mottagande del.Prototypen som projektet resulterar i, uppfyller de krav och specifikationer som FOI hade på det nya systemet, dvs. analog signalkonditionering, digitalisering och tvåvägskommunikation. Systemet har med sin enkla funktion påvisat att lösningen är realiserbar och att den fungerar.

To be able to plan for the expansion of a town, one needs a vision of the future appear-ance of the town. It is the current issues (social situation, supply and demand, political control etc.) which decide what the ideal for town planning is. This is turn is the steering factor of the physical structure of the town. Therefore, the town's structure is decided by these ideals.In this report, I will present planning ideals that have historically been, and which criticisms that have been directed towards them. With reference to these issues, I will present those guidelines and ideals we have today for planning of our towns.

In the middle of Australia there is a city called Alice Springs. The city has one of the highest amounts of daily sunshine hours and sun irradiation in the world. The Australian Government runs a project called Solar Cities, and Alice Springs is one of the participators. The main part of the goal with the Solar Cities project is to increase the amount of electricity generated by solar power and by doing that lower the impact on the environment. This thesis examines the possibilities for construction of a large scale solar power plant in Alice Springs. This is done to determine the potential of creating a more sustainable energy system in the city.

Saabs vision med de interaktiva applikationerna är att de ska tilltala både den nya besökaren och den lojale Saabkunden. Vi observerade tydliga attitydförändringar när applikationerna inte fungerade. Få kunde tänka sig att köpa en bil efter att enbart ha besökt Saabs hemsida då applikationerna i dagsläget inte kan ersätta känslan av att manövrera bilen själv. För att öka graden av ?stickiness? och ?flow? kan Saab integrera applikationerna i en värdekedja.

This Master degree project has been performed at the Braviken paper mill on papermachine 53 (PM53) which produces newsprint paper. The current economic situationhas contributed to declining demand for newsprint, which means it is extra important tobe competitive by high energy efficiency. Particularly as energy prices are expected torise when the economic growth returns.One way to increase energy efficiency is by reducing the water use in paper and pulpmills and consequently save energy through reduced heating of water. The thesis's maintask is to evaluate whether a water purification plant (microflotation plant) forpurification of process water in PM 53 is profitable. The microflotation plant enablesreuse of warm process water instead of losing the energy to receiving waters.

All new households were to be constructed with "near zero energy house standards" (NZE-house) by the year of 2020. The ambition to construct energy-efficient buildings had to increase rapidly in the spring of 2013.The purpose of this report was to increase the interest for building contractors to construct apartment buildings with passive house standards. By locating and evaluating experiences from an existing passive house a case study including interviews, field visits and document analysis was made. Research of literature regarding other passive houses in Sweden also helped to answer the following questions:- What positive and negative experiences have the study of the passive house meant to the involved stakeholders and residents?- What improvements can be made based on identified experiences?- How can an apartment building be designed as a passive house based on possible improvements?By collecting good and bad experiences, as well as improvements and potential design proposals, a diagram was created designed as a tool for developers when constructing apartment buildings with passive house standards.

Studiens syfte var att undersöka hur IT-baserad lärmiljö påverkar elevers lärande i matematik och fysik. Kvantitativa undersökningsmetoder i form av enkäter och observationer användes för att besvara syftet utifrån vår, för denna rapport, uppställda definition av lärande. Respondenter var gymnasieelever i årskurs 1-3 på ett naturvetenskapligt program och deras matematik- och fysiklärare. Resultatet visade att eleverna i stor utsträckning tyckte att lärandet var oförändrat. Av de elever som inte tyckte oförändrat ansåg nästan samtliga att påverkan var positiv.

This thesis, entitled The Headmaster and the Music, is based on interviews with four headmasters, who are all working in the Swedish compulsory school. The purpose is to investigate how they view music, both in general and as a school subject. Since the research on this topic is scarce, the study can be described as explorative.The result shows that the headmasters? personal experiences have an impact on the way they view music. Four different focus points on music in school have emerged from the material, and these represent the four very different views that each headmaster holds.

The Barbie doll is an icon filled with meanings; this thesis discusses the Barbie doll and herfeministic potentials and subject positions using a discourse analysis. The thesis analyzeswhat sort of femininity Barbie portraits in magazines, web series and films about her.Theories being used originate mainly from gender and queer studies, where the focus is on theperformative constructions of gender and femininity. Since the material mostly consists ofmoving images some influence is taken from feminist film theorists and semiotic theory,which focuses on signs and their meaning. The thesis centres around the questions: how isBarbie?s femininity challenged, strengthened and constructed in different types of mediaabout her produced by Mattel? And is there any feminist potential in Barbie?s subjectpositions in these media forms?.

Detta arbete syftar till att undersöka hur kontrakt kan utvinnas från programkod för att skapa dokumentation som andra programmerare kan använda för att förstå hur programkoden ska användas. Kontrakt i kod fungerar både som ett sätt att hitta fel och som dokumentation så om den försvinner, exempelvis vid kompilering, kan koden bli oanvändbar för andra.I arbetet görs en implementation vilket resulterar i ett program som kan hitta kontrakt i C++-kod och skapa XML-utdata med information om kontrakten. Programmet kan skapa mer avancerad dokumentationen genom förståelse för hur kontrakt fungerar i samband med arv. En utvärdering genom experiment av programmet visar att det har potential att bli ett användbart verktyg som underlättar återanvändning och dokumentering av programkod, men den nuvarande implementationen kan bara hantera en lite del av C++ och är därför inte praktiskt användbar..
