During the last Century a tremendously technical advancement has taken place and brought a change in society, which has affected workplaces in a monumental way. Many heavily and moveable physical working tasks at the work placement have been replaced with much easier and sedentary tasks.Two of the major reasons for sick absence in Sweden are illness in the locomotive organs and pain, which can be treated and prevented with physical activity on a large scale. Many employers offer their employees? subsidized exercise cards, which can be used during their free time.

The energy consumption in the sectors of residential and public buildings is 40 % of the total energy consumption in Sweden. The main part, 85 %, of the energy use in these sectors is for operation of the buildings. The rest is used in the building process. When energy-efficiency measures are taken the energy use during the operation time decreases and the fraction of energy consumption during the building time increases. This project is carried out in cooperation with JM AB and concerns the energy use during the building time of production of blocks of flats at the building site.The main part of the electricity that is used during the production of apartment buildings goes into the heating of portacabins and illumination of the building during the construction phase.

Ideella föreningar kräver mycket tid i anspråk från ideellt arbetande personer. För närvarande är det inte lätt att förmå människor att ställa upp och arbeta ideellt och sitta i styrelsen då det är mycket annat som drar, till exempel arbete, familj och tv-tittande. Av den orsaken ville vi förstå hur ideella föreningar styrs genom ekonomiska och ideella mål och vi har ställt oss frågan vilket behov av resurser i form av kompetens, monetära resurser och ideellt arbete anser ideella föreningar att de behöver för att bedriva verksamheten? För att uppfylla vårt syfte ville vi göra en undersökning av en samhällsnyttig förening och valde Svenska Brukshundklubben. Undersökningen genomfördes genom fallstudier av Brukshundklubbens centrala nivå, distriktsnivå och lokala nivå.

This paper addresses the need to review the modern presentation of textile archaeology in museums. It is time to look at textiles in archaeology with new eyes.

Syftet med studien är att förstå hur den utvalda organisationen arbetar mångfaldsfrämjande vid rekrytering och tar tillvara på de egenskaper mångfalden bidrar till. Studien baseras på en empirisk undersökning där en kvalitativ metod i form av informantintervjuer i kombination med en dokumentstudie ligger till grund. De teoretiska utgångspunkterna för studien baseras kring två stora huvudområden för studien: rekrytering och mångfald. Där författarna Lindelöw (2008) och Fägerlinds (2012) tankar och teorier till största del har använts i bakgrunden och resonemangen. Studien visar att organisationen har verktyg och metoder för att främja mångfald i organisationen vid rekrytering, men att cheferna har kommit olika långt i sina verksamheter med mångfalden.

ABB Capacitors is looking to introduce LEAN within their organization. The purpose of this research is to suggest ways to improve the production planning in order to facilitate the company?s production processes. This should be done in accordance with the LEAN concept.Today, ABB will produce two of the customers? orders at the same time.

To increase the quality in their products ABB is working towards a cleared order concept. That means that all customer specified options are to be known before they start with order calculations and construction. As it is today they use paper checklists to achieve this. One order may have several reactors, and for a reactor there can be several different alternatives. For each alternative a new checklist must be filled out.As of today all reading of the customer specification and checklist fill in with is done by hand by different persons, and sometimes the same data is read more than one time.
