Att göra Lean till en organisations DNA - En studie av två svenska tjänsteverksamheters Lean-implementering

Lean implementeras idag i allt större utsträckning inom tjänstesektorn vilket ökat efterfrågan på kunskap i detta sammahang. Inom forskningen efterfrågas det hur tjänsteföretag i verkligheten använder sig av Lean, hur de går tillväga och vilka effekter det medför. Samtidigt visar tidigare forskning att många Lean-implementeringar i verkligheten misslyckas, till följd av att Lean förstås och anamma

Främmandegöring i Maja Lundgrens Pompeji

Maja Lundgrens roman Pompeji (2001) analyseras utifrån Viktor Sklovskijs teori om främmandegöring.

Grönytor som klimatåtgärd: argument och implementering i Malmö stads detaljplanering

Ett stort antal studier har visat att grönyta kan fungera som en viktig åtgärd mot klimatrelaterade problem i stadsmiljö, exempelvis genom att fördröja och ta upp regnvatten och klimatpåverkande utsläpp till luft. Denna studie undersöker, genom en fallstudie, hur grönyta som klimatåtgärd motiveras och implementeras i svensk detaljplanering av stadsmiljö. Detta görs genom att intervjua planerare soThis study uses interviews of planners in the southern Swedish city of Malmoe, to investigate how green space as a climate measure is justifyed and implemented in detailed urban planning. The results suggest that planning of green space is justifyed and influenced mostly by social and aestetic arguments. The climate argument is of lower value, but is rising in importance within the organisation. T

Design aspects of a ventilated facade with integrated photovoltaics - Evaluation as a refurbishment solution for office buildings inSweden

Swedish office buildings of the 60’s present at least 27% higher heating demand than from the current standards foreseen. This underlines their need for energy renovation. Meanwhile, office buildings are occupied during daytime, thus internal and solar gains are in phase. Consequently, such buildings could experience overheating problems. A seasonal adaptable envelope, such as a ventilated double

A symbol becomes the culture: Reinventing Japanese cherry blossoms

A major concern of this thesis was the changing meanings of cherry blossoms in Japanese history, and the images of Japan created through the flower. With a peculiar emphasis on today’s international context, when cherry blossoms have become a unique culture of Japan, this research inquired into the process of symbol-making. The Zenith concept of nyoze and poststructural discussions on language-pow

Trading CDS Indices vs. Equity Index Futures – A pairs trade

In this thesis we use a unique data set to show that there is a cointegrating relationship between the EURO STOXX 50 index and the Markit iTraxx Europe index that can be exploited through trading. As far as we know, we are the first ones to write about trading this pair in an academic paper. On our way we deal with various peculiarities in the data set before we manage to find cointegration. The c

Idylliska landsbygden och stora stygga staden - En jämförande studie av medierapportering kring sociala problem på landsbygden och i tätort

The aim of this study was to examine how social problems are described and constructed in the printed press from two different regions in the south of Sweden; the rural municipality of Svalöv and the densely populated city Malmö.

Svensk fastighetsreglering - reglernas syfte och användning

Fastighetsbildningslagen (FBL) antogs 1970 och ersatte ett tiotal lagar gällande fastighetsbildningsåtgärder. Bestämmelserna kom nu att samlas och bli mer översiktliga. Ett nytt fastighetsbildningsinstitut som instiftades var fastighetsreglering. Detta institut skulle ersätta ägoutbytena som fanns i den äldre lagstiftningen. Tanken med ägoutbyte var att kunna utföra ömsesidiga byten av relativt smThe Swedish real estate law was adopted in 1970 and replacing the many existing laws regarding real estate measures. This lead to a better overview. A new real estate institute was about to take shape, which was to replace the old institute of change of land areas. The new institute, property reformation institute, was to be similar to the old one with the aim of exchanging small areas of land bet

Optimizing the RF-parameters for an III-V FinFET

Using the 3D finite element tool COMSOL a III-V FinFET was mod- eled based on Cezar Zota, Erik Lind and Lars-Erik Wernerssons work. Using this model, the gate-source parasitic capacitance, the gate-drain parasitic capacitance, the source and drain resistances were simulated. Changing the geometry of the FinFET was done in order to optimize the transistor in regard for the transition frequency and
