Många studier visar att högre effektivitet och mer jämlikhet inom hälso- och sjukvården kan uppnås genom en utbyggd primärvård. Därför har det under 40 års tid funnits en politisk ambition om att överföra mer av den öppna vården från sjukhusen till primärvården. Resultaten har emellertid varit magra. 2009 implementerade Region Skåne en ny styr- och ersättningsmodell för primärvården, kallad Hälso

Detta examensarbete är en inledande studie av huruvida det finns ett motiv att förändra extremspänningsautomatiken i det Svenska stamnätet. Arbetet beskriver hur inställningarna påverkar spänningsstabiliteten i ett elkraftsystem. Genom realtidssimulering med ARISTO i NORDIC32-svedala har dynamiska analyser av spänningsförlopp gjorts för sju stycken olika kopplingsstrategier. Principerna bakom dessThis master thesis is a pilot study on what impact different strategies for automatic switching of reactive shunts have on voltage stability in an electric power system. A dynamic analysis has been performed through real-time simulations in ARISTO on the NORDIC32-svedala system. Seven different switching strategies are examined in two different but common scenarios for the Nordic power system. The

Kärleken är en grundnorm inom kristendomen. För att som kristen kunna bygga en etik och värdegrund baserad på kärlek, måste kärleken diskuteras på ett teologiskt plan.
