This report is a documentation of a Master?s thesis of 20 credits performed at the educational program of Technical Product- and Production Development with Design at Halmstad University. The project is carried out in cooperation with Hafa AB in Halmstad.The purpose of this project was to bring forth a concept of a bathroom cabinet for Hafa?s new selection Young through creative design methods. The selection is supposed to attract the younger purchaser but also a target group that dare to experiment with home furnishing and appreciates new design.

This degree project aim to evaluate if variations of the STFI thickness can be used to assess bumpiness on cardboard. During the project cardboard samples were measured using Bendtsen, PPS, a L&W formation tester, OptiTopo, Ambertec formation, the STFI thickness tester and a visual comparison. The different methods were then compared to see if there is any correlations between them. The results showed that the visual comparison and OptiTopo correlates. The STFI thickness tester shows however no correlation with the OptiTopo and visual comparison, thus aren't suitable measuring bumpiness..

This report is a result of a project that been conducted on System Andersson. System Andersson sells and develops MPS-systems for small and medium sized manufacturing companies. System Andersson are today located in the central parts of Jönköping and has about 20 employees. The goal for the project is to develop a new version of Andersson Qwick mps. The project has been divided into a number of smaller projects were the authors been part of the planning module project.

This degree project is on 15 university points which correspond to 10 weeks full time studies. The work has been carried out during autumn term 2007 and spring term 2008. This degree project has been carried out with the cooperation of Etac Supply Center AB who is located in Anderstorp.It?s been Etac interest to develop a solution which helps the user of the wheelchair over obstacles. My task has been to develop a concept that solves the problem according to the requirement specification.In the rapport the reader can follow the development from an idea to a finished concept.

This report is about the exam project; Blomgren- a collection ofpatterns. During eight weeks I have from the family Blomgren, whowas my grandfather?s family with siblings and parents, produced fivepatterns for textiles into interior and space. In addition to thefamily as an inspiration, I have taken into account of the collection?sname - as a word and the meaning of the word.

The purpose of this thesis is to identify the factors that drive efficiency and effectiveness in technical development projects performed at A?F?s department of product development. In addition to identifying and analyzing these factors, the thesis also analyzes what needs to be taken in to account in order to implement a measurement system that is able to both monitor and control the identified factors.The thesis has been performed in a qualitative manner. It is based on interviews with people from several different technological companies, within different lines of business, all of which are customers to A?F?s department of product development.The results show that there are seven critical factors for project efficiency and effectiveness.

The project investigates features of Romani Architecture.

Today there is a research project undertaken by the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences along with Wången (a highschool specialized in trotter training), which focuses on trotting horse training, performance and health. The project investigates how exercise intensity and feeding strategies affect the development of growing horses. The project includes two groups of horses where all 16 horses are fed in the same way. One group of eight individuals are trained 100% compared to conventional training and the other group are trained 20% less than the other group. All horses are trained twice a week and are out at pasture beyond that.

The idea for the project emerged when Nilorn wanted to get better control over their supplychain and improve operational efficiency. The company also want to reduce their expenses inthe continuous process of improving profitability. By choosing the right option oftransportation and mode of transport there are large potential savings for the company. Thisenables Nilorn to reduce the transportation costs and strengthen the environmentalresponsibilities by reducing their environmental impact.The flow of goods within Nilorn has over the past years increased significantly and most ofthe gods today is transported by air. The aim of this thesis is to analyse the supply chain of thecompany and evaluate the potential economic savings in this area.

Thick skin in Texas - an investigation on storytelling and pictorial language. I took my starting point in a story about the cowboy Jaquin, who goes to the Tivoli, where he gets caught up in a dramatic adventure. I extracted three scenes from this story, and I experimented with whether it was possible to make the separate scenes tell their own story, in three separate drawings. Without depending on the frame story or on any kind of text. In this project I partly wanted to explore the possibilities of the drawing.

Detta arbete har utförts på avdelningen för datorstödd maskinkonstruktion vid Luleå tekniska universitet. Uppgiften var att undersöka hur omvärldens utbildningar inom produktdesign, innovation och entreprenörskap ser ut och kommer att förändras i framtiden. Detta med utgångspunkt i det arbete som för närvarande pågår inom CDIO-ramverket (Conceive Design Implement and Operate) men även inom andra utbildningsinitiativ. Bakgrunden till arbetet är att det uppstått en klyfta mellan industrin och akademin. Nyutexaminerade ingenjörer besitter inte de kompetenser som näringslivet vill att de ska ha med sig i bagaget efter avlagd examen.

Innovationer i ett företag är en komplex process men konsensus från forskarvärlden är att innovation är nödvändigt för ett företag ska visa fortsatt tillväxt. Därför är det av stor betydelse att förstå hur ett företag strukturerar sitt arbete med innovationer och vilka utlösande faktorer som påverkar detta arbete. Aktuell litteratur inom området uppmanar till mer forskning för att öka förståelsen för innovationsarbetet och de påverkande faktorerna. Denna studie har som syfte att undersöka vilka utlösande faktorer som påverkat It-företags innovationsarbete samt hur innovationsarbetet har förändrats. Urvalsföretagen härstammar alla från IT-branschen, där hård konkurrens råder och kravet på nytänkande innovationer är en hygienfaktor vilket gör att innovationsarbetet som möjliggör innovationer är ytterst viktiga. För att genomföra denna studie har en kvalitativ metod med semistrukturerade intervjuer genomförts. Totalt har åtta företag varit delaktiga i studien, författarna har intervjuat grundare eller produktägare/affärsutvecklare på respektive urvalsföretag.Företagen är verksamma i Sverige och har medvetet valts för att varierat i storlek och ålder för att ge bredd i den insamlade empirin. Studiens teoretiska referensram berör ämnena; utlösande faktorer samt förändringsprocesser inom innovationsarbetet.

In this thesis a rural network in Norrbotten, Sweden, has been to designed and planned with the purpose of improving distribution reliability by exchanging existing overhead lines with underground cables. General network design considerations are discussed as well as the ones for the specific low voltage grid. During the design phase the maximum power of domestic consumers has been estimated using Velander?s method. Currents, voltage drop and impedance of the network have been calculated and fuse operation and selectivity has been considered.

This essay is a part of a project called ?Young peoples representation of love and relationships? and was initialized in Barcelona in January 2006. The University of Barcelona cooperates with the University college of Södertörns Högskola to compare perception of love among youths in both countries.
