Sandvik SRP AB in Svedala has recently made a big investment in a completely new production facility that is called Greenfield. The facility will be ready for production in 2013 and will have eleven top modern axle lathe- and vertical boring milling machines. The machines will process casting to parts for the stone crushers Sandvik SRP in Svedala manufacture. The goal with Greenfield is to get wor
Det individuella och det kollektiva är två begrepp som ständigt utforskas i den spanska författarinnan Belén Gopeguis verk. Den här uppsatsen utgår från observationen att relationen mellan de två behandlas som en sammanflätning. Dess roll i Gopeguis politiskt-litterära projekt undersöks, där det kollektiva presenteras som en förutsättning för de förändringar som projektet eftersträvar. Verket i al
Xylem Inc., with the main production plant in Emmaboda, has in one of the product workshops decided to analyse the benefits of creating a central packaging station for its five assembling lines. The author of this report was given this objective as a master thesis. The methodology of the project is divided into three different phases – one descriptive, one explorative and one problem-solving phase
This master thesis is on Statistical Process Control (SPC). The objective is to evaluate if SPC can be used in a process that produces plates for heat exchanger, the process evaluated is located at Alfa Laval Lund AB. The products are produced in the process by punching and shearing metal coils. An ambition in the project is also to increase the knowledge about Statistical Process Control at Alfa
Sandvik Rock Processing in Svedala is a business area within the Sandvik Group who manufactures crushers and spare parts. A new production plant, Greenfield, will be completed in 2013 and as part of the change the company makes in connection with the new plant, there is a desire to revise and optimize the order quantities in the production. There are several models for lot sizing. Economic Order Q
DPM is a manufacturing company within the metal cutting industry. A number of years ago there emerged a desire to make statistical calculations for its production. Until today, the company has not done any post-calculations, which means that they have based their cost calculations and sales prices on precalculated costs. The absence of post-calculations leads to lack of cost-consciousness that is
A particle accelerator consists of a large number of components, which among other things includes several acceleration modules, which consists of one or several cavities. A cavity is a complex and essential part in the accelerations process and is usually made of oxygen-free copper (OFC) or niobium. These two materials are special when it comes to metal cutting, it´s hard to find information abou
Metodutveckling för analys av cellulärt upptag av nanopartiklar Cancer är idag en utbredd sjukdom som tusentals människor världen över diagnostiseras för dagligen. Möjligheterna att få en korrekt behandling ökar om tumörer upptäcks i ett tidigt skede tidigt vilket ger en större chans att tillfriskna. Men detta har visat sig vara en utmaning då nuvarande metoder som används inte är av tillräckligAbstract MRI, magnetic resonance imaging, is used for disease detection such as assessing blood flow, detecting tumours and diagnosing many forms of cancer. Contrast agents are chemical substances that increase the MRI sensitivity. One class of contrast agents are the so called nanoparticulate contrast agents. Since tumour-associated formation of new blood vessels often results in highly permeab
Popular science summary: Analysis of Map3k-dependent molecular mechanisms regulating signaling in lymphocytes My research involves investigating the roles of Map3k1 and Map3k7 genes in relation to invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells. iNKT cells are a unique population of T cells whose phenotypical, developmental and functional characteristics differ from conventional T cells. iNKT cells exp
This thesis identifies ten main narratives related to Lithuania in the reporting of five major Swedish newspapers between 2010-2012, and investigates how these narratives have been discursively constructed and why they might have been chosen to serve as a frame of reference for Swedish readers. Through narrative analysis and a theoretical framework including the concepts of ‘narrative’, ‘collectiv
What kind of influence does percentage of private share have on state-owned enterprises’ operating efficiencies? The thesis studies on the correlation between percentage of private share and SOEs’ operating efficiency in China. By analyzing both input and output side of SOEs’ performance (i) theoretically, based on previous studies, and (ii) empirically, through data bivariate analyses and variabl
It is more difficult for the poor to save money than for the wealthy. The poor have no institutions to help them such as state pensions and they are left to fight their personal short comings themselves. One consequence is that the poor save under their ability. Savings is important to respond to changes in the environment and to avoid incurring debt. Two of the behavioral obstacles the poor face
Construction business is responsible for a large portion of the world's emissions of greenhouse gases. As part of the work against this, environmental certifications has become more and more common. This is partly because consumers have been more willing to pay more for products or services with low environmental impact and this has had a major impact on the construction industry. In this stud
Syftet med detta examensarbete är att undersöka vad en leverantör till byggindustrin kan göra för att deras kunder ska uppnå en miljöcertifiering enligt LEED. Studien kan delas upp i tre delar. I den första delen har vi fördjupat oss i de miljöstyrmedel som använts i Sverige idag såsom olika miljöcertifieringssystem och miljöledningssystem. Den andra delen beskriver vilka produkter en leverantör t
ABB Swedewater has designed and manufactured pump stations and cooling systems for many years. During this time, several different designs on frames have been developed. Most of these are based on welded steel profiles which are then painted. For smaller pump stations bolted profiles and bent plates are used. Today there is a need to find a more modern design that reduces the design time in the pr
Popular science summary: Potential Distribution for the Endangered Asian Wild Ass Over the past century, large mammals have been globally under increasing pressure of humanized landscapes. Since extirpations of large herbivores are likely to have complicated consequences for the entire ecosystem, their conservation is a priority. With almost 81% threatened species, Perissodactyla (odd-toad ungu
