Result This thesis has resulted in a new Project Management (PM) tool for the Scania Engine Development Project Coordination group, customized for engine development long-term test planning and tracking. The PM tool also shows resource use, capacity, and forecast of all Scania’s engine test benches located in Sweden, Germany and Brazil. Issue of study As a result of the continuously increasing
Kvinnor tjänar forfarande mindre än vad män gör i Sverige. 2011 var löneskillnaden 85.9%, hela arbetsmarknaden inkluderad. I den här uppsatsen visar jag att löneskillnaderna har sin orsak i den socialt konstruerade genusstrukturen som påverkar samhällets statussammansättningsprocesser och till exempel arbetsfördelningen inom hemmet. Förekomsten av direkt diskriminering, fördelningsdiskriminering o
Background: With todays’ requirement of shorter product life cycles and faster time-to-market, producing companies experience an increased demand for faster transports in the supply chain. This puts pressure on freight forwarders to offer their customers a timely and reliable transport service at a reasonable price. Another challenge for the freight forwarders in Sweden is to provide such services
This thesis develops a laser-based technique for spatially resolving the photocurrent from nanowire array solar cells. The technique has been demonstrated to provide information on processing induced defects e.g. poor device contacts, and defects related to the sample e.g. missing nanowires, resolving features down to ~800nm. Moreover, the technique provides information that can be used to relate
The world around us is urbanising at a faster rate than ever. Today more than 70 per cent of the European population lives in urban areas, especially small and medium-sized cities. Often, cities are the centres of economic growth. In the context of urban pollution and climate change, cities are at the core of European policies due to their ability to be the ‘places’ where solutions and innovations
The WEEE Directive requires the producers to fulfil e-waste compliance according to the extended producer responsibility (EPR) principle. In order for producers to comply with the requirements nationally, collective compliance schemes were formed. Usually the manufacturers join together and form producer responsibility organisations (PROs) which take the responsibility for organising the waste man
The purpose of this paper was to identify key challenges of equity and inclusion in participatory community-based watershed development management. Furthermore, my ambition was to generate findings that are relevant to research beyond the case of watershed development, i.e. community-based natural resource management (CBNRM)in general. On the basis of a histographic overview of the main developmen
Prostate cancer is the most common form of cancer amongst males in the western world. Today’s diagnostic methods for prostate cancer that rely on PSA measurement are not satisfying. The level of prostate specific antigen (PSA) is determined in a blood test. Of the men with elevated PSA levels only 25 % have prostate cancer. This thesis aims to develop a proof of concept for a miniaturized multiple
The adoption of the International Convention on Civil Liability for Bunker Oil Pollution Damage 2001 plugs a gap in the otherwise comprehensive international liability and compensation regime for ship-source pollution. Although liability for bunkers pollution from tankers was partially regulated by other civil liability regimes, bunker spills pollution from other types of vessels was left uncovere
I denna uppsats har jag studerat vad den ekonomiska synen på fattigdom i FN:s Millenniedeklaration har för effekter på utveckling. Uppsatsen tar sin utgångspunkt i och har sin teoretiska förankring i FN:s Millenniedeklaration. Denna sätts i relation till den historiska utvecklingsteoretiska bakgrunden samt den nya tvärvetenskapliga synen på fattigdom som mer än ett ekonomiskt begrepp. Alternativa
The new building code was implemented in Sweden in 1994. This building code made it more possible to use solutions, not only standard but also alternative solutions, based upon analytical calculations to show whether the fire safety level in a building is enough or not. With computer programs and equations it is possible to dimension the type and proportions of the selected fire safety equipment.
The importance of fire and evacuation safety in institutional cares is the main focus of this report. It is written around seven work areas that should be considered to create a high or satisfactory safety level. The report shows that the safety of the patient is directly linked to the nursing staff, since the patient is likely to need assistance both in a situation of fire and in an evacuation si
The number of companies that are discovering the benefits of having a process-oriented mindset is continually increasing. But moving from having a strict functional-oriented mindset to becoming more process-oriented does not happen over night. The road of transformation is long and many challenges are faced on the way. This thesis focuses on the question of how companies should approach a transfor
Abstract Being a public authority, as the Swedish Vägverket, includes communication with youth. A lot of research is done concerning youth and its life conditions – they are the future and thereby important to understand. A common goal for public authorities of today is to cooperate to create more value for the citizen. The web service Körkortsportalen is a result of that. The research questions a
