The society of today can?t manage without transportation. We need transports to getfood, to go to work and to create new products. The transportation ofgood is thus an important part in the function of the society and they?ll increase, bothin number and in amount.

Syftet med uppsatsen är att belysa hur de anställda upplever det psykologiska kontraktet i stora och små organisationer. Det psykologiska kontraktet är ett utbyte av löften och åtaganden mellan arbetsgivare och arbetstagare. Innehållet i det psykologiska kontraktet varierar utefter de behov och möjligheter som arbetstagaren och arbetsgivaren har. Vi har valt att titta på det psykologiska kontraktet i organisationer av olika storlek då många av de aspekter som är förknippade med det psykologiska kontraktet skiljer sig utefter de olika förutsättningar som stora och små organisationer har. Vår studie utförs på ett antal stora och små organisationer där vi genom enkätundersökning undersökt de anställdas upplevelse av det psykologiska kontraktet.

Saab Aerosystems have had one dominating product, JAS 39 Gripen, and one dominating customer, FMV, for a long time. The operations management system at Aerosystems is adjusted for development of Gripen and as the business unit is trying to enter new markets with other products and customer the operations needs to be adjusted to fit the development and manufacturing of these products as well.The purpose of the master thesis has been to investigate how Aerosystems is managing requirements on operations from external customers and how to make improvements within this area. The aim has been to carry out a situation analysis to identify where improvements are possible and then produce proposals for improvements through studies of literature and other business units. The thesis also include a study of knowledge transfer within the business unit to investigate how this can be applied to improve the managing of requirement on the operations.An extensive interview study has been carried out in which interviews mainly have been conducted with employees at Aerosystems, but also at Saab Avitronics and Saab Aerostructures. The reason why these business units have been examined is because they have carried out a large number of successful businesses with external customers, which also are potential customers for Aerosystems in the future.The interviews have been analysed to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats with the present way of working.

Tomo Hugglink (TOMO Skog) is an innovation for harvest and transport of biofuels. The system consists of a truck, a chipping unit and crane mounted on a link and a wood chip trailer. The system works in such a way that the chipping unit is disconnected and placed on the site and wood chips are loaded directly into the wood chip trailer.The aim of this study was:- To examine the performance of the TOMO Hugglink system under different conditions such as the size, placement and quality of the pile.- To calculate the cost per raw ton for two vehicle combinations at different transport distances and to examine the effect of a reduction in set-up time and an increase in load weight.- To identify possible improvements with the TOMO Hugglink system.A time study was conducted within the thesis work to make it possible to determine production and time consumption. In the subsequent economic analysis the cost per tone at different transport distances was calculated for two different lorry concepts. Furthermore the effect of a reduction in set-up time and an increase in load weight was calculated.Under current conditions the utilization of the chipper is low and only 29 % of the total system time is occupied by chipping.

This master thesis is about a place that has a story to tell. Olsson?s garden came about when Mr Carl Oscar Olsson acquired a piece of land in Landalabergen in the beginning of the 1930's and at that time he started his industrious work of uniting much of Sweden's flora in his garden. Since the very beginning Olsson's garden has played a lot of different rolls in a variety of situations and meant different things for different people. Today one can find traces from Mr Olsson's life and deeds in the garden.

In the production of pulp, paper and cardboard, a large amount of water is used daily. The water has to be purified in the internal purifying plant before it reaches the receiving body of water. In the biological purifying stage at the Stora Enso Skoghall mill, an aerated basin is used where the microorganisms, using oxygen, oxidize the organic material to carbon dioxide. The air is pumped from the bottom of the basin and the oxygen can then be transported from the air bubbles to the water through diffusion. The problem with aeration of waste water from the forest industry is that wood residues, such as fatty acids, are making the transport of oxygen in water more difficult.

Syftet med detta arbete som utförts på Kvarnsvedens pappersbruk i Borlänge har varit att framställa ett operatörsverktyg. Ett operatörsverktyg som ska åskådliggöra processens rörliga kostnader, som kan benämnas en produktkalkyl för stunden. Verktyget skall senare möjliggöra förbättrade utsikter för kontroll, styrning och uppföljning av rörliga kostnader inom företaget samt öka möjligheterna till att minska de rörliga kostnaderna som är kopplade till processen. Massafabriken på Kvarnsvedens pappersbruk och pappersmaskin 11 har utgjort arbetets grundläggande måltavlor för operatörsverktyget. Arbetet innefattade kartläggning och granskning av pappersprocessen för att skapa en så heltäckande bild av uppdragsbeskrivningen som möjligt.

This paper is a study of corporate governances in the municipal of Stockholm. The purpose of this paper is to enlighten the problems and opportunities for the corporate governances of the wards in the municipal of Stockholm. The municipal of Stockholm is made up of 18 relatively self-governing wards, whose activities bear a resemblance to one and other. Therefore we have specified our survey to corporate governances in the ward of Skarpnäck (Skarpnäcks stadsdel), to be able to use this ward as an example to corporate governances in the entire municipal of Stockholm. The essay emanates from the important management theories: Budget, Integrated Management system (ILS), Benchmarking and Balanced Scorecard.The essay is based on interviews and a poll survey we conducted in the administration of the ward of Skarpnäck, and also based on interviews with Stockholm?s city hall.

Enligt lag skall kommunala nämnder själva bedriva intern kontroll någon exakt definition av vad intern kontroll ges inte i lagen.I uppsatsen tar vi fasta på att det enligt en internationell modell som heter COSO behövs en fastställd plan för att man ska kunna utföra och följa upp kontrollen. Därför har vi studerat huruvida små och stora kommuner har en antagen intern kontrollplan.Metoden vi använt är datainsamling via e-post och i vissa delar ett efterföljande frågeformulär.Resultatet av undersökningen är att de kommuner som har en intern kontrollplan i stort kontrollerar samma saker oavsett om kommunerna är stora eller små. Det har också visat sig att andelen stora kommuner som har antagit en intern kontrollplan är betydligt högre jämfört med små kommuner. I slutsatsen har vi presenterat några delförklaringar till varför stora kommuner i större utsträckning har en internkontrollplan..

This report focuses on the upper slit. The upper slit is located between the impeller andthe drive unit. The slit design depends on pump type and application. However it isuncertain why the design varies, The purpose of this report is to clarify why the designvaries and to recommend an improved slit design.A research has been done; information was gathered from interviews, but also fromsearching of databases and studies of drawings, reports and documents. The originalpurpose of the slit was to prevent twining around the driveshaft, and prevent dirt fromentering the cooling system.

En uppfattning som råder på Kvarnsvedens Pappersbruk, hädanefter förkortat KP, är att nyckeltalen som finns idag är för många, för svåra att sätta in i ett större sammanhang och att de dessutom inte har en helt tillfredsställande struktur. Detta bidrar till svårigheter med att förankra nyckeltalen i verksamheten och få nödvändiga kopplingar mellan nyckeltal och verksamhet. Balanserade styrkort (BSC), utvecklat av Robert S. Kaplan och David P. Norton, är ett ledningsverktyg för strategisk styrning som går ut på att redovisa företagets verksamhet i fyra perspektiv.

Interest in the implementation of AGV-systems (Automated Guided Vehicle) has in recent decades increased. The reason is that it allows companies to perform reliably and secure internal transport while reducing the need of personnel. It is one of todays most advanced and complex material handling system that can independently make their own decisions regarding flow paths and traffic control. An AGV-system consists of transport units carrying cargo from point A to point B, and communicates using a computer.The purpose of this study is to develop a model on how to proceed in order to design an AGV system in heavy industry. The model is tested by a case study of a company in the metal industry to determine if the model works and gives the correct result.

This report is a thesis for collegeengineering program in structuralengineering at Uppsala University andwas commissioned by the Swedishcontractor Svevia. The study aims toprovide an overview of the mostbeneficial bridge material from bothenvironmental and economic point ofview.The life-cycle analysis covers onlycarbon dioxide emissions, since it isthe most spoken of in today?s climateagenda. Furthermore, this study aims tohighlight which parts, of the systemboundary, that contributes to greatercarbon emissions for the wood- and theconcrete bridge.The life-cycle cost analysis wascalculated with a lifespan of 40 yearsand covers the basic cost of investment,operating and maintenance, anddecommissioning costs.The analyzed constructions in this studyare existing projects that are almostcompleted. Both bridges were designed tohandle loads up to 60 tons.

Vårt syfte med denna studie var att undersöka hur barns lärande, trygghet, behov och fysisk miljö påverkas av stora barngrupper. Vi valde att använda oss av kvalitativ metod i form av ett ostrukturerat frågeformulär med öppna frågor. Enkäten vände sig till pedagoger på några förskolor i Eskilstuna, då vi ville ha pedagogernas tankar om barns lärande i stora barngrupper, eftersom de är aktiva i verksamheten. I resultatet så framkom det att barns lärande påverkas både positivt och negativt av stora barngrupper. Resultatet visade även att det är svårt att tillgodose alla barns behov, räcka till som pedagog för att alla barn ska vara trygga och att samlärandet är viktigt.

The lack of fresh and clean water today causes severe problems, mostly in developing countries. Waterborne diseases like typhoid, cholera, amoebic dysentery and diarrhea create health problems and deaths among people. There is a need for low cost interventions like household-based water treatment and safe storage (HWTS). Solvatten AB is a Swedish company based in Stockholm. Their product, Solvatten, is a household water treatment unit that can treat water containing viruses, parasites and bacteria.
