The purpose of the rebuild of Notnäs AB timber sorting line is to renew the existing drive and turning ends of the transport chain, which has become old. This means that Notnäs AB have problems to get new parts if the gearbox and chain are worn out. They also require that the rebuild should have a maintenance schedule for the new spare parts that will be used in the rebuild. Maintenance workers placed great emphasis on that in a rebuild it shall be a service-friendly design. The maintenance schedule used in Notnäs AB in the current situation is from Statoil and the report uses SKF formulas and recommendations in order to obtain a lubricating schedule.

Background: Since the coining of the phrase lean production by Womack, Jones and Roos in 1990, this mass production system of Japanese origin has been implemented in a multitude of organizations throughout the world, the results being predominantly positive from a financial point of view. The possibly negative effects of mass production on worker motivation have been discussed since quality of work life became an important political issue in Sweden in the 1970?s. As the popularity of lean service is now increasing, there are still unresolved issues regarding the transferability of a mass production system to the service industry, particularly with regards to the motivation of service employees.Purpose: The purpose of our thesis is to study the lean system of a Swedish bank, SEB Way, from a management- as well as an employee perspective in order to describe how lean may affect the work motivation of service employees.Research procedure: The study is empirically based on observations and interviews on multiple hierarchical levels at SEB. We have conducted a total of 13 interviews with front line employees at SEB, with the central SEB Way team as well as two external lean specialists.Results: The study indicates that SEB Way has little direct influence on the intrinsic work motivation of the SEB front line employees, as work motivation was present prior to the implementation of lean.

Bakgrund: Sjuksk?terskans utveckling till omv?rdnadsexpert inom intensivv?rd kr?ver b?de en avancerad p?byggnadsutbildning och l?ng och gedigen erfarenhet inom yrket. I denna process g?r sjuksk?terskan igenom olika stadier vilka f?rklaras genom Benners modell f?r professionsutveckling, fr?n nyb?rjare till expert. Specialistsjuksk?terskor kan i stort utg?ra en viktig del i st?ttandet och handledningen av mindre erfarna kollegor, vilket fr?mjar s?ker v?rd och professionell utveckling.

Fo?rfattarna till detta examensarbete har intresserat sig o?ver hur innovationer kan sprida sig till olika nationer genom exempelvis sma? innovativa verksamheter. I denna forskningsstudie underso?ker fo?rfattarna hur innovationer sprider sig till andra nationer och om innovationsspridningen kan relateras till en internationaliseringsmodell, delforskningsfra?gan grundar sig i Rothwells femte generationens innovationsprocess. Fo?rfattarna har valt att anva?nda sig av en kvalitativ metod, med en deduktiv ansats da?r underso?kningen har sin utga?ngspunkt fra?n teorin.

The history of environmental reporting began in the early 1990?s when some companies included the environmental issue in their annual report. The increased interest of ethical and sustainable investments and demands from different stakeholders conjure a change of the report design. To develop the environmental reports and create design guidance for sustainability reports an organisation called Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) was born. The GRI is environmental reporting taken to another level, a level that is according to sustainable development.

Denna uppsats har syftat till att go?ra en kartla?ggning o?ver hur personer o?ver 55 a?r anva?nder digitala kanaler info?r resor samt deras a?sikter kring denna anva?ndning. Genom en fallstudie av Kulturresor Europa har studien fa?tt ett producentperspektiv som kan relateras till kartla?ggningen av a?ldersgruppen. Fo?r att genomfo?ra detta har en kvantitativ enka?tunderso?kning legat till grund.

The primary function of a mixer is to keep a fluid in constant motion. All mixing applicationsrequire varying degrees of small-scale turbulence and bulk flow. The performance of asubmersible mixer is measured by the thrust that it produces, while the strength of the bulkflow is dependent on the total amount of installed thrust.In a mixer, the fluid quickly flows past the propeller, and as a result, the current is mainlyaxial. The fluid will also obtain a rotating velocity, or a swirl, though this is significantly lessthan that of the propeller. During the process, the total amount of energy increases in the formof static pressure and kinetic energy.

SammanfattningSociala medier va?xer som marknadsfo?ringsverktyg och det a?r enligt forskare ett utma?rkt sa?tt fo?r fo?retag att skapa dialog och bygga relationer med sina kunder. Flera tidigare studier som behandlar sociala medier och dess effekter har genomfo?rts de senaste a?ren och det finns fortfarande ett stort intresse inom a?mnet. Det vi har valt att underso?ka a?r hur fo?retag idag anva?nder sig av sociala medier i sitt marknadsfo?ringsarbete, vi har a?ven valt att ja?mfo?ra tva? olika branscher fo?r att uto?ka kunskapen inom det redan utforskade omra?det.

Mast cells have for a long time been known to accumulate around tumors (Maltby et al., 2009). Studies show that they may be important and sometimes essential in tumor angiogenesis, tumor growth and metastasis of tumors (Soucek, et al., 2007; Xiang et al., 2010). In an expression array study (Wensman et al, submitted manuscript) performed on mouse mast cells exposed to tumor conditioned medium, the gene 4-1BB was among the most up-regulated genes compared to control medium. 4-1BB codes for a membrane receptor protein of the tumor necrosis factor superfamily and has been shown to be important in T cell regulation in tumor diseases. This study was performed to investigate if human mast cells up-regulate 4-1BB when they get exposed to tumor conditioned medium.

The aim of this essay is to examine how future upper secondary school teachers within social science comprehends their future proffessional role. The aim is also to see whether the education is of importance to their suspension for their future professional role. Focus will especially be on the teachers civil servant role, where the aim is to see how their identification suspends to the governmental expectations on their future civil servant misson. The essay is based on a qualitative method, which is focused conversational interviews.The result indicates that future upper secondary school teachers within social science, who are about to finish their education, have a somewhat deeper sense of identification with the teachers civil servant mission compared to those in the beginning of their education. The result also indicates that the future upper secondary school teachers identification are in line with the governmental expectations on their civil servant mission.

This study examines whether the ownership structure of Swedish firms contributes to explain the variations in executive pay. A regression analysis was performed on 102 companies listed on the Stockholm Stock Exchange. The analysis suggests a negative relationship between ownership structure and executive pay after taking company profitability and size into account. The result is in line with previous studies and the agency theory. This indicates that large shareholders have a stronger position in Swedish companies or that large shareholders monitor the management to a larger extent, rather than providing incentives.

Denna uppsats handlar om bruket av och attityden till dialekten gotländska. De 58 informanterna är elever som går i första ring på Richard Steffengymnasiet i Visby och de har deltagit i undersökningen genom att de har svarat på en enkät. Uppsatsen utgår främst från FUMS-rapporten ?Vi har inte lust att prata nån jäkla rikssvenska!? från 1981. I jämförelse med den visar resultatet att dagens gotländska ungdomar på det hela taget inte har samma kunskap om och är lika stolta över sin dialekt..

Background and problem - Integrated reporting is a hot topic today and is predicted to be the future of companies? external reporting. In December 2013 a new framework on integrated reporting was released and one part of the framework concerns governance and how it supports the organization?s value creation. A recent study on integrated reporting in Sweden showed the area of governance to be poorly reported.
