Lean Productions påverkan på ekonomistyrningen : En fallstudie inom Gnutti Powertrain AB
Examensarbete, civilekonomprogrammet, Ekonomihögskolan vid Linnéuniversitetet, ekonomistyrning, 4FE03E, VT 2013Titel: Lean Productions påverkan på ekonomistyrningen - En fallstudie inom Gnutti Powertrain ABBakgrund: Allt mer konkurrensutsatta marknader har inneburit att företag sökt nya sätt att utveckla och effektivisera sina verksamheter. Detta har resulterat i att många företag valt att införa produktionsstrategin Lean Production. Flera forskare har påvisat att den traditionella ekonomistyrningen inte är anpassad till och lämplig för företag som använder produktionsstrategin Lean Production. Detta har inneburit att den traditionella ekonomistyrningen måste förändras och utvecklas för att kunna stödja de förändringar som den nya produktionsstrategin ger upphov till. Därmed blev det intressant att studera ett enskilt fallföretag för att identifiera om och hur detta företag har förändrat sin ekonomistyrning till följd av användandet av Lean Production. Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att utifrån det enskilda fallet Gnutti Powertrain AB bidra med en förståelse för hur ekonomistyrningens utformning och användning påverkas av användandet av den avancerade produktionsstrategin Lean Production.
Molekylärgenetisk analys av dilaterad cardiomyopati hos hund :
Canine dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a disease with high morbidity and mortality and with a high prevalence in certain breeds. Predominatly large breeds are affected, such as Great danes, Newfoundlands, Deerhounds and Dobermanns. One exception is Cocker spaniels, where both American and English Cocker spaniels are affected in a quite high frequency.
Cardiomyopathy is characterised as a disease that affects the myocardium and gives an impaired heart function. To diagnose DCM following criteria have to be observed:
1. Dilation of the left ventricle.
2. Reduced systolic heart function.
3. Increased sphericity of the left ventricle.
To be certain of the diagnosis, alternative reasons for the symptoms such as lung- and heart diseases with other etiologies have to be excluded
Two different types of DCM have been found upon histological examination.
ADO.NET och Entity Framework : En jämförelse av prestanda mellan en objektorienterad databas och en relationsdatabas
Denna uppsats mäter och jämför prestanda mellan en objektorienterad databas och en relationsdatabas. Uppsatsen bygger på en utredande karaktär utifrån vår hypotes och vårt intresse att testa den.Hypotesen bygger på problematiken omkring mängden kod utvecklaren måste skriva för att kunna koppla ihop applikation med databas. En större mängd skriven kod som utvecklaren måste skriva borde göra att prestanda och svarstider blir långsammare. Därför ville vi undersöka om verktyg som medför en mindre mängd skriven kod kan förbättra prestandan och ge snabbare svarstider.Vi valde att testa vår hypotes mellan ADO. NET relationsdatabas och ADO.
Human Resource arbetets betydelse för lärande och kompetensutveckling inom två olika organisationer
Denna magisteruppsats handlar om vilken betydelse Human Resource arbetet har
för kompetensutvecklingen inom två olika organisationer. Under senare år har
relativt stora satsningar gjorts på personalutbildning och andra
kompetensutvecklingsinsatser i arbetslivet. Forskning har visat att
kunskapsproduktionen i samhället ökar ständigt och för att finna en lösning på
detta har många företag valt att satsa på kompetensutveckling. Det
bakomliggande antagandet har varit att det i allt högre grad är kunskap och
kompetens än kapital som växer i framtiden. Därför bör såväl privata som
offentliga organisationer satsa på kompetensutveckling både kortsiktligt och
långsiktligt för att kunna möta de framtida kraven.
Studie av internt materialflöde vid Volvo Pentas fabrik i Vara
Within today?s organizations there is continual development work to increase efficiency and the power to compete at the market. Production development with focus on continual improvements constitutes an important part of the daily work within a lot of organizations today.The purpose of this study is to contribute to a part of the development process that Volvo Penta factory in Vara has in mind. A description of the current situation was compiled by mapping the internal runnings and material flow throughout the factory. A new suggestion for a layout and a comparison with the current situation will assist with creating a factual basis for the development of a new goods reception.A study was made where the volumes and the quantity of the daily arrival goods were settled.
Matematik - för skolan eller livet? : En studie om hur Matematik A anpassas till olika gymnasieprogram
Matematikundervisningen på gymnasiet ska ge eleverna kunskaper för vardagsliv och en grund för kommande arbetsliv. Lärare på en gymnasieskola har intervjuats om hur de anpassar Matematik A till olika program och vilken respons de upplever från eleverna på dessa anpassningar. Denna studie med kvalitativ ansats har utifrån intervjuerna gett en kartläggning av hur lärare anpassar undervisningen av Matematik A för olika program, både medvetet och omedvetet. Utifrån kartläggningen gjordes också en fördjupad analys för att hitta troliga bakomliggande faktorer till anpassningarna. Resultatet visar att lärarna anpassar matematiken till olika program på flera sätt och nivåer. Vissa anpassningar gör lärarna medvetet, som att vinkla uppgifter, aktiviteter och genomgångar till grupper och programmål eller på individnivå med stöd, extra material och utmaningar.
Avskiljning av uran från dricksvatten med reaktiva filter :
Water is our most important provision and its quality is above all dependent on the
geological conditions in the area from where it is extracted. Due to geological
properties there are certain areas with an elevated risk of high uranium levels in the
ground water, which in turn constitutes a risk for human health. Consumption of water
that contains a high concentration of uranium implies a health risk due to the chemical
characteristics of uranium. Livsmedelsverket (The National Food Administration) and
Socialstyrelsen (The National Board of Health and Welfare) therefore recommend that
precautionary measures should be taken when the uranium concentration in ground
water exceeds 15 micrograms per litre. In particular, drinking water collected from
wells in areas with uranium-rich bedrock may have a harmfully high level of uranium.
One of the wells of the Ärla water purification plant, located near Eskilstuna, Sweden,
contains water that exceeds the guideline of 15 micrograms per litre.
One interesting technique for removing uranium from drinking water is adsorption to
reactive filter materials.

The biggest category was meat substitutes with 302 products and the second largest category was sandwich spreads with 150 different products. Within the remaining categories a varied number of products were found; 86 beverages, 64 cooking accessories, 34 milk free ice creams and 29 plant based yogurts. Of the meat substitutes were 28 only available for business clients.
AO modulen
This master thesis has been written in collaboration with Science Park Jönköping and is based on a problem related to corporate innovation. Science Park Jönköping believes that there is an untapped potential in existing industry in the form of ideas that are never commercialized. These theories are also supported in the research in which other authors have perceived that the ideas and inventions which do not belong to the core business risk ending up in drawers. If more of these ideas could be spin-offs or other forms of enterprise instead of staying in the drawers it would lead to growth, both for companies and for the society in large.The purpose of the thesis work is to, based on the case Science Park Jönköping, analyze how science parks and incubators can support the commercialization of ideas that derive from industry, who otherwise had been left lying. The work began with a mapping of the Science Park Jönköping operations and the skills they possess, and then other initiatives that aim to commercialize more ideas from companies were examined.
GIS och statistik vid dräneringsområdesvis kväveläckagebeskrivning i Halland
The last decades have shown increased nitrogen leeching from soil to water recipients. This is inSweden mainly due to over-manuring of agriculture land, effectivization of drainage systems and thedeclining extent of wetlands. The accumulated amount of nitrogen in water doesn?t only make itunsuitable for use by humans and cattle, but also decreases the biological diversity as well as negativelyaffect tourism and fish industry. In the most severe cases shallow maritime grounds can be completelydepleted of oxygen due to decomposition of the increased amount algae and plankton growth.This study have the aim to describe and quantify the nitrogen leeching from the Genevad drainagebasin, located in southern Halland, Sweden.
Sammanvägda avrinningskoefficienter i rationella metoden : en jämförelse mellan idag och 1970-talet
Storm water is rain and melted snow that runs off, primarily from impervious surfaces.Future storm water management is facing the challenges of increased precipitation, asclimate changes, and increased areas of impervious surfaces due to the expansion anddensification of the cities. Impervious surfaces reduce the potential for water to infiltratein the ground leading to increased surface runoff and higher peak discharge.The runoff coefficient is closely related to the percentage of impervious surfaces andrepresents the maximum percentage of a catchment that can contribute to runoff. In thisstudy, the objective was to evaluate the weighted runoff coefficient for three differenturban types; apartment buildings, townhouses and residential areas and a comparisonbetween today and the 1970`s was made.The runoff coefficient was determined by manual mapping of the different surface typesin each area based on data in the form of orthophotos and aerial photographs. The surfacetypes that were mapped were asphalt, permeable areas, tiles, sand/gravel and roof.Tiles and sand/gravel were the most difficult surface types to map. In order to see towhat extent these categories influenced the weighted runoff coefficient a sensitivityanalysis was carried out and the runoff coefficient based on surface type was changed indifferent scenarios.The results of the sensitivity analysis showed that the surface types tiles and sand/gravelhad little impact on the weighted runoff coefficient which in mainly due to the fact thatthe percentage of these surfaces types of the total area is small.The result of the study showed that the largest change in the runoff coefficient occurredin residential areas where the increase in the percentage of impervious surfaces causedby new roofs in the form of porches and garages and from paved or tiled driveways.

Indexeffekten : En studie gjord på Nasdaq OMXS30 och OMXH25
AbstractMaster thesis in Business Administration, School of Business and Economics at Linneaus UniversityAuthors: Patrik Larsson and Pontus GislénSupervisor: Håkan LockingExaminer: Sven-Olof CollinTitle: The index effect- a study on Nasdaq OMXS30 and OMXH25Introduction: A significant part of the financial literature is based on the Efficient Market Hypothesis which assumes that prices in the market reflects all available information. Anomalies, such as the index effect, indicate weaknesses in this theory as it has been proved that it is possible to outperform the market using public information. Hence, the index effect can be linked to market efficiency which makes it interesting to study from a theoretical perspective. The mapping of the index effect is also interesting from a practical perspective, as it leads to a better understanding of whether investors and firms should take this anomaly into account.Problem: Is there an index effect, how does it behave and what can explain this effect?Purpose: The aim of this study is to investigate the index effect.
Production system mapping for product design
Detta examensarbete är resultatet av en utredning av produktionsbegränsningar och produktutveckling på Volvo Construction Equipment AB Component Division i Eskilstuna. Produktionssystemet på Volvo CE genomgår en stor förändring då det går från att fungera som en funktionell verkstad till att bli flödesinriktat. Detta gör att helt nya krav ställs på produkternas konstruktion och utformning. Det är nu inte möjligt att anpassa maskinerna eller operationsföljderna efter artikeln i samma utsträckning som tidigare, man kommer att vara tvungen att anpassa artiklarna efter produktionslinan. Därav har en litteraturstudie inom Concurrent Engineering gjorts som belyser hur man bör jobba som organisation och vilka verktyg man har till sitt förfogande, för att utveckla produktionsvänliga produkter.
