Problem definition: In the Swedish construction projects, there is a role "logistics manager" whose assignment is to manage the logistics at the production site. Exactly how and which logistic related tasks they perform is uncertain. The study’s aim is to find some general patterns and methods that are used by the role holders.
Purpose: The study aims to contribute to t
High tech companies are constantly searching for ways to innovate their business, and open innovation has become a widely known concept and an important ingredient for companies in their way to becoming more innovative. Areas and clusters around the globe where the industry and University closely collaborating are organically increasing, and have proven to be a crucial mechanism in enabling innova
Pancreas transplantation is today a technically successful procedure and provides an alternative to insulin injections for the treatment of Type I diabetes mellitus. This thesis was undertaken while pancreas transplantation was developing and while several fundamental questions were being asked about both endocrine and exocrine drainage of the transplanted pancreas as well as how best to diagnose
Recent investigations-of the interaction between DNA and alkyltrimethyl ammonium bromides of various chain lengths are reviewed. Several techniques have been used such as phase map determinations, fluorescence microscopy, and electron microscopy. Dissociation of the DNA-surfactant complexes, by the addition of anionic surfactant, has received special attention. Precipitation maps for DNA-cationic
Desferrioxamine-B (DFOB) is a bacterial trihydroxamate siderophore and probably the most studied to date. However, the manner in which DFOB adsorbs at mineral surfaces and promotes dissolution is still under discussion. Here we investigated the adsorption and dissolution reactions in the goethite-DFOB system using both in situ infrared spectroscopic and quantitative analytical methods. Experiments
S urveillance technologies used in the prevention, investigation and pros- ecution of terrorism and other seri- ous crimes are ubiquitous. Howev- er, policymakers are having a hard time weighing the actual security benefit of any surveillance technology against the potential fi- nancial cost, moral hazard, or resulting intrusion into privacy and other fundamental rights. How can a state protect it

The main purpose of the Thesis work is to conduct an assessment of both the way companies currently account for their waste costs, and of the potential relevancy of engaging in a more comprehensive cost accounting for waste in terms of achieving industrial waste minimisation and cost optimisation. In order to do so, literature about environmental and cost accounting was reviewed, an empirical stud
We have in our thesis examined energy system for small houses for Skanska Teknik AB. The environment is a current issue in our society and buildings from the past are rarely energy effective, since many houses built during the seventies had heating based on oil or direct electricity. In new buildings it is more and more important to be energy efficient, to meet the demands from our future environm
Sjölunda avloppsreningsverk är ett av de största reningsverken i Sverige och tar hand om avloppsvatten från stora delar av det snabbt växande Malmö. Befolkningsökningen sätter press på verket, där vattenreningen måste förbättras för att reningsverket ska kunna ta hand om ökande volymer avloppsvatten. För att nå detta mål drivs flera förbättringsprojekt på Sjölundaverket, däribland projekt som fokuThe activated sludge process has existed for over a century and despite its age the development of new theories, methods and technologies is ongoing. Despite huge technological breakthroughs in the last decades the activated sludge process is still a very energy demanding process however, and it is possible to make significant energy savings by optimizing the aeration strategy of an activated slud
Improving energy efficiency in buildings is an important part of the EU’s ambitions to address climate change and other environmental, social and economic challenges. This is a role that is traditionally taken on by varying levels of governments, each level addressing elements that fall within their areas of jurisdiction. In today’s increasingly decentralised and yet simultaneously complex, integr
The retail sector represents 11% of the GDP and employs 15% of the workforce in the European Union. To tackle growth of e-commerce, physical retail stores need to be reviewed; both to decrease operating costs, increase productivity and to make the shopping experience more appealing. Energy use for lighting accounts for 50% of the total energy use in non-food retail stores, which is consumed primar
Denna uppsats ämnar till att undersöka vilka faktorer som påverkar intentionen hos icke adoptanter mellan 18–30 år till att använda sig av Personal Financial Management-tjänster i Sverige. Detta undersöks med stöd av teorierna TechnologyAcceptance Model och Diffusion of Innovation, vilket resulterar i en modell av sju faktorer som enligt tidigare studier haft signifikant påverkan på liknande digit
The business model is a useful concept to understand how a firm operates. However, little is known about how business models can be managed in times of change. The concept of business model innovation, which is also referred to as business model change on a component-level in the literature, constitutes the adaptation to external factors challenging the sustainability of a company’s business model
För att se vilken inverkan regnets intensitet har på avrinningskoefficienten gjordes en litteraturstudie samt beräkningar i Excel. Litteraturstudien visar att de tabellerade värdena på avrinningskoefficienten är framtagna genom en undersökning där ett formulär sändes ut till privata och offentliga kontor i USA där de angav vilka värden på avrinningskoefficienten de brukar använda. Resultatet är prIn order to increase the knowledge regarding how the runoff coefficient varies with increased rainfall intensity, a literature study and calculations in Excel were conducted. The background to how the tabled values of the runoff coefficient have been determined was found to be a book based on an assembly of answers to a survey collected from different companies in USA. The book is called Design an
30 juni 2022 trädde en omfattande ändring av lag (1982:80) om anställ-ningsskydd i kraft. Ändringarna syftade dels till att göra det lättare för ar-betstagare att komma in samt få en trygg anställning på arbetsmarknaden, dels att göra det enklare och mer flexibelt för arbetsgivare att anställa och avsluta anställningar och därmed minska riskerna med att anställa. Bland annat bytte allmän visstidOn June 30, 2022, a comprehensive amendment to the Employment Protec-tion Act (1982:80) came into effect. The changes aimed to make it easier for employees to enter and secure employment in the labor market, as well as to simplify and provide more flexibility for employers in hiring and terminating employment, thereby reducing the risks associated with hiring. Amongst other changes "general f
Sweden has been struggling with bad access to healthcare. The National Healthcare Guarantee is not fulfilled, and Sweden has low productivity numbers. One suggested solution to deal with this issue is increased healthcare production control. Healthcare production control (HCPC) is the activity to actively trying to match healthcare needs with capacity. Public authorities are advocating increased h
