This report is a study made at Pallco AB. Pallco is a subcontractor that is specialized on steel and aluminium components.The aim of the report is to show an improvement proposal that leads to a reduction of the storage and improve the flow through the production of one item that is a part of a product that Pallco manufactures.With the increasing competition from other countries who can manufacture with lower costs must Swedish companies try to make theirs manufacturing as efficient as possible and remove all waste. By using the tools of Lean Production it is possible to reduce the costs and increase the efficiency.The method we used is value stream mapping. A map of the present condition has been made and then different improvement proposal were discussed. A map of a future condition has also been designed..

The electronic music studio ?Elektronmusikstudion? (EMS) inStockholm was initiated in 1963. It has had several different managers throughout the years. EMS soon became a rather costly project. Furthermore there have been several conflicts among staff and users wich has contributed to EMS fairly turbulent history.

The following degree project deals with the production of an ICC-profile, this in the form ofproducing ICC-profiles for VTAB Backa. The company previously had their own profile butthey weren?t satisfied, so earlier this year they started using the TU standard profile, but theyalso wanted a complement to this in form of a profile created for solely their printing press.The separation settings used when creating the new profiles were based on information fromTU and their profile. Two basic profiles were created and then edited to obtain a better result.The test printings made with the edited profiles showed that the less adjustments that are made,the better. It was also discovered that the TU standard profile eliminates the highlight toneswhiles the new profiles are somewhat darker.

Björkman, Annika. (2013) Förskollärares och föräldrars röster om inskolning av adopterade barn i förskolan; Preschool teachers and parents opinion on the induction of adopted children in preschool. Skolutveckling och ledarskap, Specialpedagogik, Lärarutbildningen, Malmö högskola. Handledare: Lisbeth Amhag Examinator: Magnus Erlandsson Syftet var att belysa vilka konsekvenser fyra förskollärares erfarenheter och förhållningssätt fick vid inskolningen av adopterade barn i förskolan. I undersökningen belyses även på vilka sätt, kunskap och erfarenheter om adopterade barns bakgrund, användes av förskollärare vid inskolningen samt på vilka sätt tre adoptivföräldrars erfarenheter och kunskap om sitt barn och dess bakgrund togs tillvara. Metoder som användes i undersökningen var intervjuer och berättelser.

En önskan finns från brödföretaget Polarbröd AB i Älvsbyn att veta om det är tekniskt möjligt och ekonomiskt lönsamt att utvinna etanol ur gasen från bakugnarna. För detta ändamål togs prover på gasen som sedan analyserades med gaskromatografi. Proverna visade att gasen innehöll etanolånga motsvarande en volym av upp till 30 m3 etanol i vätskeform per år. De tekniska och ekonomiska förutsättningarna för att separera ut denna etanol undersöktes och det visade sig vara tekniskt fullt möjligt men ekonomiskt tveksamt att genomföra en sådan separering med konventionella metoder. Nya separationsmetoder under utveckling visade på betydligt bättre ekonomiska förutsättningar.

The eutrophication of inshore seas, lakes and watercourses is mainly due to leaching of nitrogen and phosphorus (P) from agriculture. Many efforts are made to reduce the lea-kage of phosphorus in Sweden and the Baltic Sea countries. Phosphorus is also a finite resource and the mining of good quality raw material gets more and more difficult. Se-dimentation dams in combination with filters is one relatively new method to separate P from run-off and drainage water from agricultural land. This study was a part of an IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute?s project which tests the capacity and func-tion for separation of phosphorus in four phosphorus filters.

Total organic carbon (TOC) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) are two methods used for measuring organic pollutants in wastewater. Both methods are widely used but the COD method results in production of hazardous wastes, including mercury.The purpose of this study was to validate the method TOC that will replace COD and find a factor to convert TOC to COD. In this study 26 samples were analyzed from four sewage treatment plant in the municipality of Enköping.The results show that the COD method could be replaced by the TOC method.The factor for COD/TOC was between 3.1 - 3.3. Both methods will be used in parallel until 2013 when it will be forbidden to use the COD analysis..

This study highlights the problematic situation fathers encounter when they require help and support in a custodial dispute. Previous research shows the emergence of a new, more involved father. In the light of this earlier research, this study will show a father that is willing to fight for his rights to be a present and engaged parent in the case of a separation from the mother. The aim was to analyze the subjective perceptions of five fathers in custodial dispute. This analysis did not only show how they perceive their role as a father and their masculinity but also the way they feel about the help they got from social services and other institutions.

Barns rädslor och oro i möten med sjukvård Författare: Christian Römberg & Pontus Älvehag Sammanfattning Bakgrund: Enligt barnkonventionen räknas varje människa tills dagen de fyllt 18 år som barn. Omkring 200 000 barn söker varje år vård på akutmottagningar i Sverige och cirka 95 000 barn per år är i behov av vård på sjukhus. I mötet sjukvården upplever de flesta barn rädsla och oro för sjukvårdsmiljön, sjuksköterskans mediciniska språk och beteende vilket kan förstärka smärtupplevelsen vid undersökning och behandling. En uppkommen sjukvårdsrädsla kan försvåra framtida sjukvårdskontakter och skapa otrygghet hos barn. Sjuksköterskans uppgift är att ge barnet en god omvårdnad och möjliggöra delaktighet för barnet och närstående för att dämpa rädsla och oro, något som regleras genom barnkonventionen och hälso- och sjukvårdslagen. Syfte: Att belysa vad som ger upphov till rädslor och oro hos barn i möten med sjukvården som patient. Metod: En litteraturöversikt med kvalitativ ansats.

The purpose of this paper is to find more understanding for pupils in compensatory educational situations and get an idea about how they place themselves in the social hierarchy. In my study I have interviewed four pupils with different experiences from school with the common denominator of being placed in a special class during some hours of the week. The purpose of this placement is to get them to achieve better results in various subjects depending on their grade but this also means a social separation from friends in the ordinary class and this doesn't correspond well with the democratic idea of "one school for all".What I found was that these pupils categorize themselves different from each other and while two of the pupils find themselves very included in the school's social network the remaining two had problems functioning satisfactory in a social matter according to their own liking. The feeling of exclusion though can not be connected to their participation in the special class but rather to their earlier social experiences..

Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka jobbcoachningsprocessen utifrån ett livsformsperspektiv, genom att utföra livsformsanalys på jobbcoacher och klienter. Relationen jobbcoach/klient står i fokus eftersom det existerar en liten mängd forskning inom området, och jobbcoachningens effekt på arbetslösheten i Sverige har på senare tid ifrågasatts. Livsformsanalysen är även bra verktyg för att undersöka vilka värderingar människor har och varför vi väljer att agera på ett visst sätt. Teorin om livsformsanalys utgår ifrån att människor har olika levnadsmönster och uppfattningar om "det goda livet", vilket benämns som att de lever livsformer. Vi har lagt fokus på kärnbegreppen sociocentrism och neokulturation inom livsformsanalysen: Sociocentrism handlar om människans oförmåga att förstå och erkänna andra livsformer än sin egen.

This essay is about a deserted medieval habitation called Skyttsie Hage which is located in the south of Sweden in the Scania province where it lies on a moor on the Falsterbopeninsula. Remains of five to six larger buildings have been found here with a surrounding earthwork, although it's not known for sure what kind of habitation they have been part of. Local folklore from the 17:th century states the area as a place where pirates lived, and that this was the reason for it's devastation. Another says that there once stood a breedingfarm belonging to the danish crown. Archaeologists have made several speculations which includes a deer park, a royal estate, an isolated farm or a smaller village.

This thesis aims to analyse a time series containing the annual accumulation rate of minerogenic matter in the lake Kassjo?n. First there is a theoretical survey of some frequently used tools for the analysis of time series in the time domain and in the frequency domain. This survey is followed by a simulation study that illustrates how the theoretical tools work in practice. After this, the time series "toolbox" is used to analyse the time series from Kassjo?n (5701 data points).

SAMMANFATTNINGBakgrundBröstcancer är den vanligaste cancerformen bland kvinnor och cirka 7000 kvinnor drabbas av sjukdomen varje år i Sverige. Trippeldiagnostik som består av en klinisk undersökning, mammografi och cellprovtagning är en metod som hjälper att tidigt upptäcka cancern. Vanligaste behandlingsformen är kirurgi som omfattar olika typer, till exempel bröstbevarande kirurgi och mastektomi. Diagnosen bröstcancer kan leda till försämrat välbefinnande respektive försämrad fysiskt, emotionell och social funktion som i sin tur kan leda till en traumatisk kris. Kvinnors kroppsuppfattning förändras efter genomgången mastektomi vilket lämnar en påminnelse om sjukdomen i form av ett permanent ärr.

In this essay I present an outline and examination of the Finnish Luther research, withan aim to learn more about some different aspects of Luther?s teaching on justificationas sanctification, and sanctification as the growth of the new man. I will also draw myattention to the formal language of metaphysics, as it is continuously employed by Luther to depict the issues and the content of his reformation theology. Apart from the program of research in Helsinki, I have turned to the writings of Luther himself; and I have as well tried to engage in a broader survey of Luther-scholars, some of which seem to, or in fact, support the Finnish interpretation, others which raise a critical stance towards it. The later portion of the essay picks up on the Finnish critique of dominant 19th and 20th century German Lutheran theologians, such as Albrecht Ritschl and Gerhard Ebeling.
