Building Automation Systems in commercial buildings are often designed and installed by different contractors, using equipment and components from different manufacturers. The lack of an accepted communication standard has resulted in a few different standards. Many manufacturers of building automation systems only support one, a few or none of these standards, while developing proprietary system solutions. Regin, who develop such equipment, are planning to adopt an open communication protocol specially designed for building automation - BACnet. As a step in that direction this thesis was announced with the purpose to investigate the possibility to implement BACnet in one of their products and to gain more knowledge of the BACnet protocol.

Studien syftade till att undersöka om det finns samband mellan conscientiousness, Locus of Control och arbetsmotivation samt om ålder och anställningslängd predicerar en del av ar-betsmotivation. Studien omfattade 63 anställda (28 kvinnor och 35 män) på ett telekommuni-kationsföretag i Sverige. För att studera conscientiousness användes ett egenformulerat test med god intern homogenitet, Cronbachs alfa = 0,85. För att mäta Locus of Control och ar-betsmotivation användes redan konstruerade test med god validitet och reliabilitet, skapade av Rotter (1966) och Cammann, Fichman, Jenkins och Klesh (i Bowling & Hammond 2008). I den statistiska prövningen användes både bivariat korrelation i form av Spearmans rho och MRA-standard och hierarkisk.

Background. Anesthetic-related death in small animal anesthesia is about ten times more common than in human anesthesia. Recent research identifies the early postoperative period as particularly risky and highlights the need for regular and careful monitoring of the veterinary patient during this period. Objective. The aims of this study were to investigate whether there are standard procedures in terms of regulated routine patient observations and record-keeping during the early postoperative period at Swedish veterinary clinics, and if there are any guidelines for monitoring the veterinary patient during recovery. Methods. A small survey including ten Swedish veterinary clinics was carried out as well as a literature review. Results.

Voltage sag indices are a way of quantifying the performance of the power supply, as far as voltage sags are concerned. Indices can be defined for individual events, for individual sites, and for a whole system. A standard method for single-event methods is part of IEC standard 61000-4-30.This thesis emphasizes the importance of voltage sag indices and different methods for calculating three-phase voltage sag characteristics. Three-phase events measured in a medium network voltage over period of one month were analyzed, results examined and statistically evaluated. An algorithm for calculating voltage sag characteristics and indices was created in Matlab.

?Lyxrenovering? har uppmärksammats som ett fenomen i massmedia under flera tillfällen de senaste åren. Bilden som har förmedlats är att hyresgäster med låg inkomst har tvingats flytta på grund av kraftiga hyreshöjningar som skett efter renoveringar av deras lägenheter. Somliga menade att skötseln av fastigheterna har försummats under en längre tid och att fastighetsägarna, med stöd av domstolens godkännande, motiverade hyreshöjningarna med att det fanns ett stort behov av renovering. Kritik har framförts mot bruksvärdessystemet som används som ett verktyg för att bestämma hyresnivån.

Av vår uppdragsgivare SOMAS i Säffle har vi fått uppgiften att konstruera ett bottenlock till kalottventil DN500 PN25. Vårt mål med arbetet är att minimera vikt och bearbetnings kostnad för locket. Materialet består av CF8M enligt Amerikansk standard.[2] Locket ska godkännas enligt SS-EN 13445-3:2002.[1] För FEM-analys används bilaga C design by analysis. [1]Locket ska analyseras i 3 lastfall.  Täthetsprovning av sätet, påverkar locket med en radiallastTryckprovning, påverkar locket med en övertryckslastDrift baklänges, både radiallast och inre övertryck Med utgångspunkt från kalottventil DN500 PN10, som har identisk axel och kalott, analyserades locket till DN500 PN10 i Abaqus med övertrycket 25bar. Där locket inte uppfyllde kraven sattes stödfjädrar för att styva upp locket.

Network RTK is a real-time technique for accurate positioning with Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). The technology means the use of correction data from a network of GNSS receivers with known positions (reference stations) to reduce the uncertainty in position for the user´s GNSS receiver (rover). However, this requires that the correction data can be transferred seamlessly to the user in real time. Commonly the corrections are transferred via mobile phones. The Swedish National Land Survey operates a nationwide Network RTK service, where users can receive correction data via GSM or mobile Internet (GPRS).

Saab Bofors Dynamics AB is looking for ways to let the employees work wireless in the future. The security in Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN) has not been considered very reliable, but new standards and protocols have been developed to enhance the security in WLAN. Since most wireless components soon will have built in support for wireless communication, it is important to have a model to deal with secure wireless communication ready. This is necessary because it is important to protect the company?s information related systems, ensure contingency in the daily work and maintaining the trust of the market and the authorities.

Goodwill är ett omtvistat ämne inom redovisning. I dagens samhälle har företag haft friheten att kunna välja vilken regel i anknytning till goodwill de vill använda och det med hänsyn till vilket resultat de eftersträvar. Våren 2004 offentliggjorde International Accounting Standard Board en ny standard, IFRS 3 för redovisning av företagsförvärv. IFRS 3 går ut på att goodwill inte längre är föremål för planenliga avskrivningar utan istället ska företag genomföra ett ?impairment test? som innebär att företagen genomför en ingående analys av goodwillvärdet årsvis.

Forskning kring tillväxten av leasing har idag resulterat i att leasing omfattas av en femtedel av den totala externa finansieringen företag väljer att anskaffa tillgångar på. Ett företags finansieringsmöjligheter sätter prägel på huruvida företag överlever på marknaden idag. Då leasing är ett av de mest attraktiva finansieringsalternativen var det högaktuellt att undersöka vad leasing var samt hur redovisningen skiljer sig åt av leasing mellan företag och länder. Den stora frågan som företag måste ta hänsyn till är om de ska lånefinansiera eller leasa sina tillgångar. Rent teoretiskt är dessa förfaringssätt likartade vad gäller kostnader och betalningsansvar.

The aim of this thesis is to map the current internal information flow at Volvo Uddevalla, to detect obstacles in the flow and to find out how these obstacles can be avoided. The aim is also to describe how a corporation, in this particular case Volvo Uddevalla, creates knowledge and use information. The study is performed in order to create a base for the coming implementation of a new information standard. The method used is conducting an information audit investigating the current management of documentation according to the changes that have to be made to carry out the claims from the standard. The investigation is made by way of interviews with 16 of the employees at Volvo Uddevalla.

Swedish studies have shown that more people than expected have problems with leg ulcers and that the yearly cost for treatment per patient is approximately 26 500kr. Since the elderly population is on the rise, there is a need to highlight this growing problem, to make sure that proper assessment tools are used and to improve the standard of care given to patients with leg ulcers. The aim was to show what a difference the nurse can make to patients with leg ulcers. With all types of wounds it is imperative to establish if there is any underlying reasons since certain illnesses can cause more wounds or delay the healing process. The doctor is responsible for making the diagnosis and to prescribe the correct treatment whereas the nurse?s responsibility is for the nursing care and its documentation.

This report has been performed for WSP Construction Design located at Arenavägen 7 in Stockholm. WSP Construction Design is one of the leading departments in Sweden in construction solutions regarding everything from building construction to industrial building. Great competencies regarding steel, wood and concrete constructions are available within the department which is well sought.Crane girders used in the industry are exposed to large loads that vary over time that includes instantaneous lifts and the crane girders movement which lead to the phenomenon fatigue in the crane girder and its ingoing welds. A control of fatigue needs to be performed after a certain lifespan measured in time which in turn is converted to a number of loadcycles. When the number of loadcycles amounts to a greater number the input welds resistance will have been reduced and the rate of utilization thereby increased.
