På LKAB:s produktionsanläggning i Malmberget vill LKAB öka produktionskapaciteten med ca 20 % i anrikningsverket. Ett av flera alternativ för att uppnå en sådan kapacitetsökning är att installera en HPGR (High Pressure Grinding Roll) i en av Malmbergets sektioner. Tidigare studier av HPGR har visat på en möjlig kapacitetsökning samt en energibesparing. En försöksserie har genomförts för att undersöka hur väl Malmbergets malm (med interna specifika benämningen PAR) krossas i en HPGR samt om malmens malbarhet ökar. Testerna är genomförda på Hacettepe universitet i Ankara, Turkiet, med deras tryckutrustning anpassad för HPGR undersökningar.

I uppsatsen undersöks vilken betydelse faktorer som familj, skola och vänner har för identitetsuppfattningen hos ungdomar med lindrig utvecklingsstörning, från deras eget perspektiv. Genom tematiska intervjuer med fem ungdomar som går i gymnasiesärskola har undersöks hur de såg på sin barndom, uppväxt, familjerelationer, kamrater och den egna självbilden. Resultatet har huvudsakligen analyserats utifrån E.H. Eriksons teori om identitetsutveckling. Resultatet visade att alla intervjupersoner upplevde att de under sin barndom hade kamrater och nästan alla hade en bra relation till sina föräldrar.

The world is in a stage of climate crisis where the average temperature is rising, with consequences such as, melting ice sheets, increasing sea levels, and floods. The climate panel of the UN, IPCC, has stated that this is a reaction of anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases. The most important gas is carbon dioxide, which contributes with 80 per cent to the on going climate crisis.The increasing emissions of carbon dioxide are connected to human consumption patterns. This puts pressure on the earth, as humans demand more and more resources. Today the earth needs one and a half year to regenerate the resources humans? demand of it, by the year 2030 we will need two planets in order to cope with this increasing demand of resources.At a global level it is established that richer countries have a stronger consumption pattern than poorer, and thus generate higher levels of carbon dioxide emissions.

Syftet med studien var att utvärdera vad tidigare klienter på Lenagården HVB, ett behandlingshem för vuxna med psykiska problem, upplevde som värdefullt, respektive vad de upplevde som negativt eller saknade i sin behandling. Utvärderingsfrågorna utgick från Lenagårdens programteori samt aspekter som tidigare forskning kring institutionsbehandling pekat ut som viktiga för framgångsrik behandling. Data samlades in via kvalitativa intervjuer med fyra tidigare klienter. Systemteorin har använts som utgångspunkt för resultaatanalysen.Utvärderingen visar bland annat att gott bemötande i termer av vänlighet och respekt samt personalens kompetens ansågs vara värdefulla faktorer i behandlingen. Själva terapin och behandlingsmetoden ansågs av samtliga intervjupersoner vara givande.

District heating covers most of the residential areas and industries in the twoneighbouring Swedish municipalities Nyköping and Oxelösund. In Nyköping,Vattenfall AB Värme produces heat in a bio-fuelled CHP plant. In Oxelösund,waste heat and use of waste gases from the steel production at SSABOxelösund is the basis in the district heating system.This report examines the environmental consequences of a connection betweenthe two district heating systems. A broad system approach is used and the focusis on environmental effects in the system.A system analysis has been performed on the result of simulations of differentheat and electricity production alternatives. The alternatives simulated wereone where Vattenfall Nyköping covers the base load in the joint district heatingsystem and two where the power plant at SSAB Oxelösund supplies the heatbase load.The conclusion in this report is that the consequences of connecting the twodistrict heating systems can be both positive and negative, depending onsystem boundaries and on the environmental focus.

Environmental impact and management of energy is a highly topical issue in today's society. Climate impact must be reduced. The Government has set a target to reduce energy consumption in buildings by 20 % by 2020 and 50 % by 2050 compared to the energy use in 1995.With this in mind, we chose to examine how property owners can work on improving energy efficiency in existing apartment buildings. We also wanted to investigate profitability of different increasing energy efficiency measures and the calculation methods and the risk assessment performed by such investments. To tie in with government objectives, we also saw the possibilities of achieving these goals.20 companies were interviewed, of which 14 were property owners and 6 were consulting firms that works with energy efficiency.

Nowadays in our society we find it hard for some groups of people to integrate in society. It?s known by media, that the suburbs are presented by a negative view, which often highlights the social problems in these suburbs. We can see that the suburbs still get associated with social problems such as segregation, different attitudes and behaviors, cultural conflicts, poorness etc. This kind of presentation of the suburbs affects not only the society but also the individual living and the personal perception of the individual.

Uppsatsen avhandlar begreppet integration utifrån flyktingars uppfattning, samtidigt lyfter jag fram deras upplevelse av integration i Sverige. Forskningen visar att utlänningar i Sverige har sämre levnadsvillkor jämfört med svenskar, blir diskriminerade och utsorterade på arbetsmarknaden på grund av sin etniska bakgrund. Jag har intervjuat fem flyktingar från två olika länder i Mellanöstern i mellersta Sverige för att skapa förståelse för problemområdet.  Jag har valt att använda olika vetenskapliga synpunkter kring begreppen integration, segregation och diskriminering som utgångspunkt för nämnda problemområde. Eftersom Syftet med min forskning är att få en djupare förståelse av respondenternas förståelse och upplevelse av integration i det svenska samhället, har jag använt mig av en kvalitativ metod med ett hermeneutiskt angreppssätt.

It is sixty years since Sweden's first star-shaped housing estate was built in Gröndal, a suburb of Stockholm. Olle Engkvist, the building contractor, was the driving force behind the residential area and it was designed by architects Sven Backström and Leif Reinius. The estate comprises detached star-shaped houses suited to a more hilly terrain and terraced star-shaped houses on the flat land. The eight gardens of the terraced houses form the shape of a hexagon. It is these gardens, designed by Sven Hermelin and Per Friberg, which are the main focus of this thesis. The buildings on the estate have recently been renovated and it is now time for the gardens to be restored.

Recent years there has been discussed how the critical situation in the housing market threatens the Stockholm region's growth. The thesis objective is to examine whether there is a scientific link between the lack of housing supply and growth. The thesis also intends to identify solutions for increased housing construction, for instance by examining the conditions for a greater regional perspective and influence on the region's housing supply. The thesis empirical study is based on semi-structured interviews with representatives from the Government, municipalities and the housing industry.In Sweden, research on the relationship between housing shortages and growth has not been conducted to that extent it can be said to exist scientific evidence regarding the growth threat. However, in Britain and the U.S, empirical studies show that a lack of housing supply has hindered growth through negative impact on countries' gross domestic product.

The use of energy is an important question in today´s society, and a substantial part of the energy that is used today is used in our homes. To lower this usage is vital, and there are regulations in place both on the national and the local level, that say that new apartment blocks must be built to consume less energy, which in the end will lower the impact on the climate.One way to make the housing sector more environmentally sustainable, is to produce energy issions that are bad for the environment, for example to build wind turbines close to or even on the buildings, so called urban wind power. The scope for this report is to see if urban wind power could be a sustainable alternative for the residential area that Svenska Bostäder plans to build in Albano in Stockholm.There are extensive scientific theories regarding wind and wind power, and a literature study is made to investigate past knowledge in the area. Efforts have been made to find earlier trials with urban wind power and, both scientific research and trials where urban wind power actually has been installed. The theory chapter deals both with the wind itself and how electricity can be generated from wind.

LKAB är ett järnförädlingsföretag som är helägt av svenska staten. Produkter som tillverkas är fines och pellets, dessa innehåller järnmineralen hematit och magnetit. Efterfrågan av järnmalmsprodukter är dagsläget mycket god och LKAB arbetar ständigt för att öka produktionen och samtidigt bevara en god kvalitet på produkterna. LKAB bryter malmen i sina gruvor i Malmberget och Kiruna, malmen avskilja från gråberg i sovrings- och anrikningsverk därefter sker addering av tillsatsmedel i anriknings- och kulsinterverk. I kulsinterverket tillverkas slutligen pellets genom att råkulor rullas i rulltrummor och därefter torkas på graten (galler rostern).

Introduction: Public health is based on the determinants of health. They mutually influence each other. Structural factors and life conditions contribute to health inequality both within and between countries. Health inequality can be seen between different social groups, which can be the cause of differences in living conditions, health behavior and disease vulnerability. One of the consequences of this is segregation which means that certain groups live apart, where this distribution can be connected to economic resources and/or ethnicity.

Aitik i Gällivare kommun är en dagbrottsgruva vars huvudprodukt är kopparkoncentrat som transporteras till Rönnskärsverken för vidareförädling. Gruvbrytningen sker på ett konventionellt sätt med stora producerande enheter, i likhet med andra dagbrottsgruvor. För att säkerställa dagens produktion och vara förberedd för en framtida produktionsökning vill man identifiera och därigenom möjliggöra en eliminering av de flaskhalsar som finns i brytningsprocesserna. Syftet med denna studie har varit att identifiera flaskhalsar som ger upphov till produktionsminskningar och brist på malm till anrikningsverket, och sedan utifrån dessa ge förslag på allmänna och specifika åtgärds- och förbättringsförslag. För att lokalisera problemen gjordes en fallstudie och en genomgripande nulägesbeskrivning av de sex processtegen från tillredningen till lagren i malmladorna.
