This thesis has been performed in the ethylene oxide plant at Akzo Nobel in Stenungsund. Ethylene oxide is an important ethylene based intermediary compound. The primary use for ethylene oxide is in the manufacture of derivatives such as ethylene glycol, surfactants and ethanolamine’s. In the production of ethylene oxide, ethylene and oxygen reacts over a silver catalyst surface. Mainly two reactThere are high demands on companies today to survive when competition is high and that also applies to companies that manufacture ethylene oxide. The raw material in the production of ethylene oxide is ethylene and oxygen where ethylene is the largest cost. To facilitate the reaction a catalyst, which increases the reaction rate, is used. The catalyst has a major influence on the efficiency and ec

Denna uppsats undersöker svensk lösdrivarlagstiftning ur ett diskursteoretiskt perspektiv, med tonvikt på tiden från det sena 1800-talet fram till 1960-talet. Syftet är att visa i vilken kontext lösdriverilagstiftningen har kommit till, hur lagstiftningen har motiverats, och hur diskursen kring lösdrivaren förändrats över tid. Resultatet visar att lösdriveridiskursen långt in på 1900-talet fortf

Den här rapporten behandlar hur övertagande av huvudmannaskap för allmän plats i detaljplaner går till.

Det har länge funnits en samhällsdebatt kring svenska för invandrare (sfi) och dess möjligheter att stödja de sfi-studerande så att de utvecklar rätt svenska för arbetslivet, där det krävs att man kan kommunicera både i och om arbetet och för mer sociala ändamål. Effektiviteten av praktik som medel för detta är omdebatterad. I denna studie undersöks därför den språkliga miljön runt två sfi-studera

Dagens belysning i många hem världen runt består till stor del av vanliga glödlampor. I många svenska och västerländska hem är det även vanligt med låg-energilampor och fosfor-LEDs. Fosfor är ett grundämne som tillsammans med blåa LEDs möjliggör skapandet av vitt ljus. Principen bygger på att blått LED-ljus passerar ett fosforlager där en del av det blåa ljuset omvandlas till gult ljus. KombinatioThis literature review investigates and evaluates different strategies to improve InGaN-based light emitting diodes (LED) by analyzing published theoretical and experimental studies. The issues of non-uniform carrier distribution, piezoelectric polarization fields and poor wave function overlap can be mitigated by the use of InGaN barriers and substrates as well as staircase designs for quantum we

Jurister försöker påverka rättsliga beslutsprocesser med hjälp av övertalning, men den befintliga litteraturen om övertalning i rättssalen är förvånansvärt begränsad med fokus på enskilda tekniker i isolering; inga omfattande integrerade ramverk finns tillgängliga. Vi föreslår en populär kommersiell metod för övertalning, Neurolingvistisk Programmering (NLP), som startpunkt för att utveckla en modTrial advocates seek to influence the outcomes of judicial decision-making processes using persuasion, but the existing literature regarding persuasion in the courtroom is surprisingly piecemeal, focusing on individual techniques in isolation; no comprehensive frameworks for integrating these techniques, or for systematically analyzing advocates’ attempts to enact persuasion in the courtroom, have

Uppsatsen syftar till att kommentera när kommunal verksamhet kan konkurrera med privata aktörer. Bakgrunden till problemet är en av regeringen erkänd rättstvist där kommunen potentiellt snedvrider konkurrensen. Kommunen har genom skattemedel tillgång till ett näst intill obegränsat kapital och vid inträde på marknaden utnyttjas förmånen. Privata aktörer är därför i en utsatt situation eftersom konThe thesis aims at commenting on municipality and how governmental municipality may compete with private companies. The background of the problem is that the Swedish government acknowledges the litigation, in which there is a competition problem. The municipality has a competition advantage by a grant of taxes and access to unlimited capital and the entry into the marked is less risk adverse. Priv
