The purpose of this study has been to investigate advantages and problems with distributionsystem metering in substations. This report is a study in cooperation with Göteborg Energi.The analyses in this report are made for GENAB, a subsidiary company of Göteborg Energi.To analyse advantages and problems in advance is interesting information for GENAB. Theresult of the report could be based upon whether installation of metering in distributionsubstations will be implemented and in that case which kind of measurement that is relevant.The most relevant and strategic place to implement measurement is at the distributionsubstations on the secondary side (400V), this is due to the placement of the currenttransformers. The measurements in this study involve current, voltage, power, power factor,temperature, energy and power quality.Measuring instruments that are relevant to implement are intended to measure current,voltage, power, power factor, energy and, possibly, power quality in the same measuring unit.It is desirable to have a measuring instrument that measures both energy and power qualitybut since it is most often a cost question, it can be established that energy meters have a lowercost.Metering in distribution substations gives a better illustration of the power network. Thisresults in many advantages for GENAB.

Around the 1950s an explosive population growth started in the Third World. Parallel with the population growth a global network grew up advocating population control and limited population growth. Sweden had a unique place in that network through a pioneering role promoting the issue in the UN organization. During the 20th century Sweden was a pioneer country in terms of initiatives for population control. Ceylon family planing pilot project was something new in a time when other donors considered family planning be too controversial area for bilateral aid projects.

Vi lever i en värld där handeln mellan länder ökat kraftigt och blivit mer global. Avståndensom varor transporteras har blivit allt längre. På grund av förändringarna i världshandeln harefterfrågan på fler och längre transporter skapats. Till följd av detta har den ökande trafikenen allt större negativ inverkan på natur och människa, både globalt och regionalt, genomexempelvis buller och utsläpp av koldioxid. Idag står lastbilen för den största inverkan avtransportsektorns miljöpåverkan.Studie har haft till syfte att fylla i luckor i forskningen genom att utreda och jämföra EUR-palloch DACA:s plastpall utifrån deras användningscykel.

Environmental issues and sustainable development is a high priority in today?s society and has received substantial attention lately. In the inaugural speech it is expressed that the goal for the IT?politics is a sustainable information society for everyone, which can be achieved by using IT to support sustainable growth. The Ministry of Enterprise, Energy and Communications has developed a document which outlines three specific proposals on what the government should focus on during a three?year period (2008?2010) that with the use of IT will contribute to a sustainable society.

Shopping for groceries often means that, as consumers, we travel to the grocery store ourselves, by ear, bike or on foot. At the store we pick out the groceries that we want, go the register and pay for them. During the last couple of years consumers in Sweden have been given the opportunity to let someone else select and transport the groceries to their home instead, so called home shopping. As this report is being written, the possibility to buy groceries this way is somewhat limited, but many forecasters believe that in the near future it will increase immensely. Because of the large volumes of groceries that are being transported, there is great transport work being done in the supply chain.

There is a new beverage container on the market, a bottle made out of pure aluminum as a replacement for the traditional container made out of glass. This new container has the potential to reduce both cost and pollution during transportation, the lighter and stronger construction has every advantage compared to the old one in glass. The new container has every possibility to make it on the market. Some of the biggest brands within the soft drink market already use these bottles in countries without any recycling demands like: Coca-Cola, Heineken and Pepsi. The only thing stopping these brands from the Swedish market is the lack of a functional return system, there is only one company that uses the bottle in Sweden today and they take care of their own used bottles.

After the storm Gudrun in 2005, the Swedish Transport Administration started clear-cutting of railroad corridors to reduce the risk of trees falling down on the tracks. Simultaneously, train accidents with moose and roe deer have become more frequent and the costs for consequent delays and repairs of engines are of growing concern. There is reason to assume that tree-clearance of railroad corridors may have contributed to an increase in number of accidents with moose and roe deer because the cleared areas provide attractive forage and thus may attract wildlife. The objective of my study was to investigate how clearing of trees affected the number of accidents with moose and roe deer. I compared deer-train collision frequencies before and after clearance of the selected railroads and compared these with uncleared control railroads in a BACI (before-after control-impact) approach.

Expeditors är ett globalt logistikföretag som tillhandahåller tjänster såsom flyg- och sjöfrakt, tulldeklarationer, transportförsäkring samt distribution. De äger inte själva några transportmedel utan anlitar externa transportföretag. Det här projektet behandlar endast flygfrakt. Gods som ska exporteras med flyg måste göras Ready for Carriage. Detta är en aktivitet som Expeditors idag har lagt ut på ett terminalbolag som heter Cargo Center.

Transdermal drug delivery, besides painfulinjections with syringes, has long been associatedwith small size particle pharmaceuticals, which candiffuse through the skin. This method of drugadministration has only been applicable on a smallnumber of drugs, where active molecules are smalland delivery time should or can be long.Other drug delivery options are oral administrationand injection with hypodermic needles (ordinaryhospital syringes). In oral administration thestomach and liver tend to dissolve the drug and theeffect becomes more difficult to anticipate, anddrug delivery rates difficult to control. Hypodermicneedles are used as a mean of drug injectiondirectly into the bloodstream. This method ispainful and risks infection due to tissue damageand skin penetration.One way to get a painless non-damaging techniquewith high delivery rate that still can delivery largemolecules is to manufacture an array of microscopichollow needles and equip them with a pumping unitthat delivers the correct amount of drugs.This thesis shows the technique and possibility ofmanufacture micromachined needles using low costtechniques of Ion Track Technology (radiation ofheavy ions creates porous materials), electrolessdeposition (non-current activated wet chemistrymethod of depositing metal) and electroplating.

Uppsatsen handlar om hur fritidsgården har påverkat sina före detta besökare. För att genomföra detta använder vi oss av både enkäter och kvalitativa intervjuer. Studien är gjord i samarbete med Karlskrona kommun och kommer vara en del i ett större forskningsprojekt som ungdomsstyrelsen driver. Ungdomsstyrelsen arbetar med ett pilot projekt som Karlskrona kommun är en del av. Målsättningen för Karlskona kommun är att effektstudera förebyggande och främjande arbete inom kultur och fritidsområdet.

With an increased demand for biomass based energy and with development of better technique harvest biomass, new possibilities open up. With the possibility to combine traditional cleaning of road?s right of way with biomass harvesting, the work of suppressing tree vegetation could become profitable or at least decrease the road maintenance cost. However, knowledge about productivity and profitability in mechanical biomass harvesting in roads? right of ways are still limited.

Mobility Management is about affecting and changing the demand of mobility. It?s not about what traditional planning?s been focused on; to supply for the demand. The demand of mobility is created by us humans since the traffic exists of us. That means that Mobility Management is about changing our needs.

Denna rapport syftar till att reda ut vad utländska turister anser om priserna i Stockholm och om höga priser på en destination kan resultera i att turister väljer bort det som resmål. Detta har vi valt att undersöka genom ett kvantitativt förfarande och vi har även valt att utgå från konsumentbeteende för att förstå hur turisters beslutsprocess ser ut i valet av resmål. Vårt resultat visar på att priset på destinationen och då framförallt hotellpriserna och priser på transport är en stor faktor i turisters beslutsprocesser. Dessutom svarade en stor andel av våra respondenter att de skulle välja bort ett resmål om de ansåg att priserna var för höga. Majoriteten ansåg att turistprodukterna i Stockholm vi presenterade var från medel upp till väldigt dyra.

Den kontinuerliga samhällssträvan mot en mer hållbar utveckling är en av de svårasteutmaningarna som människan har bemött under modern tid. Dess innebörd medför att våralevnadsvanor på alla plan måste anpassa sig efter de nya förutsättningarna som vi förr ellersenare måste bemöta. Inom infrastrukturella termer medför detta en allt mer pressad situationför både transport, logistik, kommunikation och trafiksektorn. Även den levande stadenutsätts för hårda påfrestningar där stadsutvecklingen måste ske i samklang med den hållbarautvecklingen. För att nämna några konkreta exempel är Stockholms region en av tusentalsandra storstadsregioner i världen som ämnar till att utvecklas till en storstadsmetropol ochalltid sträva mot att vara konkurrenskraftig från alla perspektiv gentemot andra storstäder.
