Syfte: Syftet med vår uppsats är att identifiera intressanta fenomen kring ekologiska produkters förpackningsdesign. Fenomen som kan ligga till grund för vidare forskning.Metod: Vi har använt oss av en kvalitativ metod bestående av semi- strukturerade djupintervjuer med konsumenter samt en serie butiksstudier för att samla in primärdata till detta arbete. Teoretiska perspektiv: Vi har i teorikapitlet beskrivit teorier dels från området för förpackningsdesign, och dels konsumentbeteendevetenskapen i form av teorier om motivation, self, involvement och means-end chain.Empirisk analys: Utifrån valda teorier har vi tolkat resultaten från de 15 kvalitativa djupintervjuerna. Resultaten har tolkats utifrån olika huvudteman vi funnit intressanta från intervjuerna vilka inkluderar den allmänna inställningen och kunskapen om ekologiska produkter samt förpackningens roll och påverkan.Slutsatser: Vi har genom denna studie kommit fram till att ekologiska produkters förpackningsdesign har en viktig informativ uppgift, inte främst för att sticka ut och vara lätta att hitta, utan för att kommunicera just det faktum att de är ekologiska. Vi har funnit framför allt två starka attribut som förknippas med ekologiska produkter; Medvetenhet och ekonomisk stabillitet.

The task in this master thesis was to design and construct a prototype of a satellite antenna driver unit. The unit is to be robust and work in cold weather down to -40°C, so that it can be mounted on the roof of a minibus. A microcontroller controls the H-bridges simultaneous, each connected to an electrical motor. Hardware and software protections were implemented to ensure that the antenna can not turn outside its allowed area and risk breaking. The unit can output voltages at many diffeRent levels and communicate at a multitude of signal standards..

 AbstractAttractiveness may be defined by a variety of factors but you should see it in the public planning as it is to have a positive population growth and economic growth, through working with communications, service, housing, to name a few. This is done primarily through direct projects both within the municipality and through various partnerships between local and regional level. The progress we have seen in recent years has gone more towards a clear shell level, particularly a regional level where these have had a much greater freedom with clear geographical boundaries in between each other. Within these regions there are also clear regional groupings that have common interests and competing between each other. In my thesis, we have been distinguished including three levels of scale levels.

Detta examensarbete handlar om mag-tarmkanalen och är uppdelat i två avsnitt. Den första delen handlar om mag-tarmkanalens uppbyggnad, rent anatomiskt men också hur den ser ut histologiskt. Histologin är bara ytligt behandlad då den endast är med som förklaring till vissa händelser inom fysiologin. Den andra delen, fysiologidelen handlar om de olika delarna i mag-tarmkanalen, deras funktioner och vad som reglerar dessa. I fysiologiavsnittet behandlas också nedbrytning och absorption av de olika näringsämnena..

For Swedish companies to compete with low wage countries, developments in theproduction industry moved towards streamlining the entire company. One of themost effective ways for a company to streamline their operations is to review theirproduction. All companies have processes in their production that add no value tothe product. In order to compete, they must be eliminated.The purpose of this report is to reduce work in process (WIP) in the flow ofbashus at Volvo Powertrain in Köping. The aim is also to try to find reasons whyVolvo Powertrain feel that they have problems with the storage principle First in-First Out (FIFO).To meet the objective, empirical studies were conducted at the company whilethe literature in the area was studied.

The new cataloging code Resource Description and Access (RDA) provides a system of instructions for recording relationships between related resources by means of a controlled vocabulary of relationship designators. The purpose of this two years master?s thesis in Archive, Library and Museum studies is to examine the construction of this system, as well as its theoretical foundation. One theoretical point of departure is the necessity of operational definitions for consistent identification of bibliographic relationships. Another such point of departure is that the theoretical model on which RDA is based (the FRBR model) is not a complete description of the biblio­graphic universe, but merely a limited representation of a set of assumptions about that universe.The thesis first examines Barbara B.

This essay discusses the Laholm?s bay and its eutrofication problems. The question of issue is: Have the efforts to limit the eutrofication in the Laholm?s bay been effective? What is the local actor?s opinion whether the measures have been effective or not? What efforts have been made to prevent the leakage of nutrients from fields and forestland? The Laholm's bay is located in the south part of the Swedish west coast. The problem was noticed in the 1960´s by local fishermen that experienced a lack of catch.

Den här kandidatuppsatsen behandlar miljöproblem som kan uppkomma i sambandmed användarfasen i ett klädesplaggs livscykel. Den del i användarfasen somfokuserats på är tvätt och hur tvättmedel kan bidra till mindre negativamiljöpåverkningar. Det är främst energiförbrukningen som gör användarfasenmiljöbelastande. Syftet med arbetet är att se om alternativa tvättmedel, som påståsvara mer miljövänliga alternativ till traditionella tvättmedel, fungerar med avseendepå tvättresultat och hur de kan leda till miljöförbättrande åtgärder.Efter direktiv från uppdragsgivarna Teknologisk Institut och Tænk utformas tester föratt undersöka tvätteffekt, mekanisk bearbetning och bakteriehämmande effekt på åttaalternativa tvättmedel (fem lågtemperaturtvättmedel och tre tvättbollar). Alla metodersom används i utförandet baseras på internationella standarder samt internaarbetsmetoder på Teknologisk Institut.Många faktorer har betydelse för resultatet av en rengöringsprocess och tvättmedlethar en central roll.

In line with Sloan (1996) but on European data (STOXX 600) we are investigating whether stock prices reflect information about future earnings contained in the accrual and cash flow components. The extent to which current earnings performance persists into the future earnings performance is shown to depend on the relative magnitudes of the cash and accrual components of current earnings. Moreover, we still find a significant positive excess return (Jensen?s alpha and size-adjusted return) by replicating Sloans (1996) hedge portfolio by taking a long position in the stock of firms reporting relatively low levels of accruals and a short position in the stock of firms reporting relatively high levels of accruals. However, we find no evidence of negative excess returns for companies with relatively high accruals, this somewhat lower the total excess returns for all the portfolios.

This study examines whether a spatial relationship exists between blue-green infrastructure and indicators of gentrification in Hisingen, Gothenburg, during the period 2015?2023. Using a GIS-based approach, sociodemographic changes across 83 demographic statistical areas (DeSO) were analysed in relation to six parks established or significantly developed during the study period. Changes in mean income, educational attainment, share of residents with foreign background, and mean age were combined into a gentrification index, which was then tested against distance to the nearest park through linear regression analysis.The results show that socioeconomic changes consistent with gentrification occurred across parts of Hisingen during the period, with the highest index values concentrated in the central and south-eastern parts of the district. However, these changes were geographically selective rather than district-wide.

The Swedish government have a goal that wind turbines shall produce 30 TWh by the year 2020, compared to about 3,5 TWh produced in Sweden during 2010. To minimize the disturbance that wind turbines create the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency has stated a guideline value that noise from wind turbines at nearby residents shouldn?t exceed 40 dBA, at 8 m/s wind speed. With advanced calculation models, like Nord 2000, the emitted sound from future wind turbines can be calculated at an early stage to optimize the power production without exceeding the 40 dBA. When the turbines have been built there is a need to verify that they really are within the guideline.

The industrialization in Sweden has increased the large number of areas that have been contaminated with various types of pollution. One of those sites are the property Höjen 3:24 in Arboga where ?Arboga Mekaniska Verkstad? once been. The property wants to increase the use of the old former foundry building with the adjacent ?plate-workshop? and believe there are two options for the building: That the building either should be used as a warehouse/concert hall, or rebuilt into a cultural center. An environmental evaluation has shown that the levels of heavy metals are over the Swedish environmental protection agency guidelines of less sensitive land.

Vårt syfte är att undersöka om och hur budgetens roll skiljer sig åt mellan en offentlig och en privat hälso- och sjukvårdsorganisationer. Vi har baserat vår uppsats och våra slutsatser på intervjuer, som vi gjort på Blekingesjukhuset i Karlskrona och S:t Görans sjukhus i Stockholm. Vi har gjort intervjuer på fyra till fem olika nivåer i båda organisationerna, för att få ett djup i vår undersökning. Vi har kommit fram till att det finns stora skillnader mellan det offentliga sjukhuset och det privata sjukhuset. Den största skillnaden fann vi vara budgetuppföljningen, men att det inte finns någon större skillnad mellan sjukhusen på lägre nivå, däremot på högre nivåer kan vi urskilja relativt stora skillnader.

The Swedish social insurance agency provides financial support for families and children, but also for people with work injury, illness and at old age. During 2012 they saw the amount of notifications of insurance increasing in Sweden, which is a development that cost our society a great deal of money. With the aim to pursue a sustainable development I have therefore devoted this project to wellness and stress management within preschool.The employees of preschool are often dealing with a lot of stress, due to the big groups of children that causes high noise and sound levels. The high noise and sound levels is a contributor to stress which additionally can damage the health and cause impaired hearing loss. About half of the people around their forties until the age of retirement have difficulties understanding speech in large groups.The purpose of this project has been to investigate the causes of negative stress for my target group, women between 30-60 years old who works in preschool.
