Följs kravspecifikationerna? I följande uppsats analyseras och granskas om producenter följer kraven i kravspecifikationen, som modeföretaget skickar med orderbeställningen. Med syfte att, genom en kvalitativ samt experimentell undersökning, komma fram till om kraven som gäller tunna trikåtröjor av mörk kulör, i modeföretagets kravspecifikation, uppfylls vid produktion. Genom kvalitativa intervjuer med kunniga inom områdena, kvalitettester, trikåmaterial, produktion utomlands och kravspecifikationer, kunde författarna få svar på om det sker att producenter bortser från krav i kravspecifikationen och varför dem troligtvis gör det. Genom en experimentell undersökning har författarna utgått från standarder i kravspecifikationen samt testat och analyserat två tröjor från 2014 års säsong med två tröjor från 2015 års säsong, för att bedöma om de skiljde sig åt, då de skall vara producerade utifrån samma kravspecifikation. I resultatet presenteras den experimentella undersökningen; hur författarna gick tillväga för att få fram det mest sanningsenliga resultatet samt citat från de kvalitativa intervjuerna. Citaten styrker författarnas spekulationer och teorier om att somliga producenter bortser från krav i kravspecifikationen. Vidare i diskussion- och analyskapitlet analyseras och diskuteras resultat med teorier och citat. De slutsatser som författarna kan dra utifrån de kvalitativa intervjuerna och den experimentella undersökningen är, att det är vanligt förekommande, att producenter medvetet väljer att bortse från vissa krav i kravspecifikationen. Dock görs det inte endast för att tjäna pengar, utan det handlar likaså om att hålla deadlines och att hålla sin kund nöjd, för att på så vis behålla relationen. Det kan också handla om olika kulturskillnader och språksvårigheter i kommunikationen där kravspecifikationerna inte är tillräckligt tydligt förklarande, vilket resulterar i att producenten får vidta åtgärder och uppskatta själv vad kunden efterfrågar.

Do the producers follow the specifications? This study analyses and reviews if producers follow the requirements of the fashion company’s specification. The purpose was to, through a qualitative and experimental research, decide if all the requirements that involve dark coloured thin knitted t-shirts, of the company's specifications are applied during the production. Through interviews with people with great knowledge within the subjects; quality controls, knitted materials, production abroad and specifications, the authors’ got answers to whether producers ignore the requirements in the specification, as well as why. Through an experimental study, following the standards in the specifications, two shirts from season 2014 and two shirts from season 2015 were examined and compared, to see if they differed. All shirts were supposed to be produced by the same specifications. In the result, the experimental study presents; how the authors proceeded to truthful results. Quotes from the qualitative interviews are also presented. The quotations prove the authors'…

▼ This study is about the quality of the work of external auditors as part of the broader corporate governance frame. It contributes new evidence to the U.S.â€™s Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) inspection research literature on the association between the PCAOB inspection outcomes and audit quality, as well as between PCAOB inspection outcomes and client firmsâ€™ internal control systems and internal corporate governance. In hypothesising these relationships, agency theory and signalling theory are invoked. This study focuses on two rounds of PCAOB inspections to identify change that have occurred in these inspection outcomes and their practical implications for medium-to-small auditor firms and their business clientsâ€™ managers and investors. Three sets of hypotheses are generated in this study. A quantitative research method is applied in this study. The sample in this study consists of 806 inspection reports. They are several findings from this study. First, in relation to the association between the PCAOB inspection outcomes and abnormal audit fees paid to auditors by client firms used to test the first hypothesis, the result suggests if there is an increase in abnormal audit fees then there will be an increased probability of obtaining a deficiency report. In terms of the association between the PCAOB inspection outcomes and client firmsâ€™ effective internal controls used to test the second hypothesis, the result suggests if there is an improvement in client firmsâ€™ internal controls then auditors will have a decreased chance of obtaining a deficiency report. With regard to the association between the PCAOB inspection outcomes and client firmsâ€™ internal corporate governance applied to test the third hypothesis in this study. This result suggests if client firmsâ€™ internal corporate governance is stronger thus client firmsâ€™ auditors are more likely to have a favourable PCAOB inspection outcome. However, the result is insignificant, while in the hypothesised direction, can not be claimed as supporting the third hypothesis. This study highlights the significant association between the PCAOB inspection outcomes and positive abnormal audit fees paid to auditors by client firms and client firmsâ€™ effective internal controls as well. Finally, this study contributes to current PCAOB literature by examining the direct association between the PCAOB inspection outcomes and audit quality, client firmsâ€™ internal controls and client firmsâ€™ internal corporate governance.

A tomografia por emissão de pósitrons associada à tomografia computadorizada (PET/CT) é um dispositivo que combina as características de medicina nuclear (PET) e de radiologia (CT) obtendo imagens metabólicas (PET) e anatômicas sobrepostas (CT). Combinando as duas tecnologias de exames, o exame PET / CT permite aos médicos diagnosticar com maior precisão e identificar o câncer, doenças cardíacas e distúrbios cerebrais. O radiofármaco 18FFAc (fluoroacetato) é promissor para a detecção de tumores primários de próstata e de mama, utilizando a técnica de PET/CT. Estudos recentes mostram a eficácia do 18F-FAc na detecção de tumores que têm baixa captação de 18F-FDG (fluordesoxiglicose). O fluoroacetato é um substrato para a acetil-CoA sintase, enzima que metaboliza ácido fluorocitrato que não é mais metabolizado, levando à inibição da aconitase e do ácido tricarboxílico. O objetivo deste trabalho foi desenvolver um radiofármaco emissor de pósitron, 18F-FAc no IPEN-CNEN/SP em um acordo com o Hospital AC-Camargo / São Paulo. O íon fluoreto (18F-) foi produzido, usando os cíclotrons Cyclone 30 e 18 da IBA localizados no IPEN-CNEN/SP, através da irradiação de água enriquecida em 18O com prótons e dose integrada de 30μAh. A marcação do 18F-FAc foi realizada em um módulo de síntese TRACERlab MXFDG (GE), utilizando kits adquiridos da ABX. O controle de qualidade radioquímico de 18F-FAc foi realizado por cromatografia em camada fina TLC-SG 25 folhas de alumínio em tiras (1,5 x 12 cm ) usando como solvente clorofórmio:metanol (1:1). Para o controle de qualidade radionuclídico, amostras de 18F-FAc e 18F-Fluoreto foram analisadas por espectroscopia de raios-gama. A avaliação dos solventes residuais foi realizada por cromatografia em fase gasosa e a análise de kryptofix foi realizada por TLC utilizando tiras de TLC-SG, metanol:clorofórmio (9:1) como solvente e padrões de kryptofix 2.2.2. Os estudos de biodistribuição foram realizados com 18FFAc injetado em camundongos swiss sadios. Um procedimento reprodutível foi desenvolvido para o preparo do 18F-FAc com um rendimento de marcação de 37% (não corrigido) e 52% (corrigido para o decaimento) e estabilidade de 19 horas. A análise de controle de qualidade mostrou que o produto tinha as exigências adequadas para utilização, com pureza radioquímica superior a 99,9%. Os estudos de biodistribuição em animais sadios mostraram a esperada captação em todos os órgãos medidos com eliminação renal e intestinal.

▼ Increasingly stringent government regulations and the rising price of oil are causing automotive manufactures to develop vehicles capable of obtaining higher fuel economies and lower emissions. To achieve these goals, automotive manufactures have been developing hybrid-electric vehicles (HEV) and plug-in hybrid-electric vehicles (PHEV) that use both electricity and petroleum based fuels as their power sources. While hybridizing the vehicle powertrain improves the fuel efficiency of the vehicle, the addition of multiple power sources and modes creates many unique issues with vehicle driveability that are difficult and time-consuming to calibrate. The drive quality (also referred to as driveability) of a vehicle refers to the vehicle's responsiveness to driver inputs and overall smoothness of the vehicle in operation. A vehicle with good drive quality results in a comfortable ride for both the driver and passengers. Drive quality is a subjective measure of the driver's perception of the dynamic responses of the vehicle. It is typically measured using highly trained test drivers that analyze the vehicle's behavior under specific driving conditions such as take-off, acceleration, pedal tip-in/tip-out, gear shifts, and braking. Assessing and improving vehicle drive quality in this way can be time consuming and is subject to human error. Recently, major automobile manufacturers have begun to move towards the use of specially-designed software packages to evaluate drive quality objectively.This thesis discusses the development of control strategies for The Ohio State University's EcoCAR 2 competition vehicle with an in-depth analysis of the effects of the control strategies on the objectively-measured drive quality of the vehicle. The OSU EcoCAR 2 vehicle had serious issues tip-in drive quality due to the high amount of gear backlash present in the powertrain. A feedforward control was implemented to smooth the driver's torque request to minimize the negative effect of gear backlash on the tip-in drive quality. The control system developed to accomplish this contains easily calibratable parameters that can be quickly adapted to be used in future EcoCAR vehicles and is mostly independent of the powertrain architecture.A control system for implementing regenerative braking in the OSU EcoCAR 2 vehicle was developed and calibrated to provide smooth torque delivery and positive drive quality characteristics. This included both creep torque at low vehicle speed as well as coastdown torque at higher vehicle speeds in order to mimic the behavior of a conventional vehicle with a traditional internal combustion engine and automatic vehicle.Finally, a robust and reliable control system is presented for shifting the automated manual transmission in the OSU EcoCAR 2 by speed matching the input and output shaft speeds using an electric machine. This control system includes a gear shifting handshaking process that was implemented between the supervisory and transmission controllers to facilitate the complex gear shifting process.

▼ For those who design, operate, and troubleshoot industrial processes, electric power quality is a subject that requires much consideration. Processes that use electronic sensors, actuators, and computation devices are heavily reliant on a stable, consistent input power source. When a power quality event such as a voltage fluctuation occurs, automation equipment often behaves unpredictably and causes process malfunction or failure. Because industrial power consumers often blame their electric utility for these events, some utilities offer process susceptibility studies as a service for their customers. During a typical study, utility technicians and engineers perform in-house tests on suspect components or systems using voltage sag generating equipment. These tests determine device malfunction thresholds and establish an event failure timeline. Test results provide data for applying mitigation solutions, where the most critical or susceptible loads receive a higher priority for improvement. While effective, this approach often requires the addition of costly hardware. This study presents novel software algorithms that coordinate and improve process ridethrough capabilities of network connected industrial processes. An add-on PC interfacing with an automation network executes a routine that detects voltage sags, performs a fast measurement of sag parameters, and determines an expected process response. Rather than implement a `cure all' reaction for every disturbance scenario, mitigation routines are executed based upon the expected response. Underlying design constraints of this study are to minimize or avoid the installation of conventional ridethrough hardware and adhere to a software architecture that is unintrusive to existing controllers. Voltage sag detection is performed with a real-time analysis of incoming voltages and is triggered from RMS voltage derivative threshold crossings. Having recognized the presence of a voltage sag, the algorithm determines the sag magnitude with a peak detection method, and can associate the measured magnitude/phase combination with previously recorded process data. Either the sag characteristics or historical process response data is then analyzed to determine the expected process response. Sags that can potentially force motor drives to trip offline cause the process to respond to an expected shutdown. Voltage sag magnitude/phasing combinations that have been shown to cause no process disruption are ignored. Combinations which have caused only instrument signal corruption and significant process variable deviations trigger the mitigation routine to address faulted control signals only. Drive fault mitigation responses consist of a software-only drive coast routine and an improved drive coast routine requiring the addition of basic switching hardware. Out of tolerance process errors are mitigated with output control command substitution or input signal substitution routines. Verification of software functionality is achieved with… Advisors/Committee Members: Bridgwood, Michael A., Collins, Jr. , Edward R., Girgis , Adly A., Peterson , James K..

▼ The monitoring of recreational waters is important to gauge risks to human health. The methods currently used are time-intensive (18-24 hours to test results) and because of this, results may be inaccurate. There are now molecular techniques capable of delivering faster results on multiple microbiological targets, including source tracking markers. However, these techniques cannot be utilized most effectively until extraction efficiencies of environmental DNA are known. Earlier studies of bacterial indicators in recreational beach waters using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) showed variation in the DNA extraction efficiency of filtered marine water samples. Silica-based binding matrix micro-columns used in DNA extraction kits, have a limited binding capacity for DNA. The elution of DNA off the column appears to be released in a non-linear fashion, suggesting that for robust extraction a minimum amount of DNA must be bound. By using known quantities of Lactococcus lactis to mimic the characteristics of enterococci, along with a minimum amount of background DNA it is possible to determine DNA recovery for the extraction/purification process. This was accomplished by adding a known amount of Lactococcus lactis cells to samples of recreational water along with large volumes of water or known amounts of background DNA. After extraction, the Lactococcus lactis DNA was quantified using qPCR. The percentage of Lactococcus lactis remaining in the elution was then used to quantify the results from the enterococci assay. Source tracking markers for dog associated bacteroidales and gull associated catellococus were adapted into Taqman™ chemistry qPCR assays. These assays were then developed with standards and tested against South Florida water samples. These assays can help provide new information to the contributor of fecal waste to beach and coastal environments. These assays performed well in the field and should be incorporated into the testing of beach water that allows dogs, or has a large gull population.

Dissertação de mestrado em Sistemas de Prevenção e Controlo Alimentar, apresentada na Escola Superior Agrária de Santarém, Instituto Politécnico de Santarém.

Como forma de atender à competitividade do mercado actual, cada vez mais globalizado, a indústria portuguesa esforça-se por acompanhar essa evolução, onde os sistemas de gestão da qualidade são parte integrante dos seus processos. Muitas empresas têm vindo a adotar estes sistemas de gestão pelo facto de sentirem a necessidade de se destacarem no mercado competitivo, certificando a qualidade dos seus serviços. Foi neste sentido que a International Organization for Standardization (ISO) determinou requisitos referentes à normalização de procedimentos de implementação de Sistemas de gestão baseados nestas preocupações. Estes requisitos constituem normas que orientam as empresas que pretendam implementar sistemas de gestão e, eventualmente, posterior certificação. A implementação destes sistemas contribui para o melhor funcionamento da organização, aumentando o controlo da administração e da produtividade, redução de custos, distinção no mercado e melhoria contínua. O presente trabalho revela a participação no processo de implementação da NP EN ISO 9001:2008 numa empresa de confeitaria, onde foram estudados os métodos implementadas e onde se procurou compreender as várias fases envolvidas no processo de implementação, em conjunto com os responsáveis pelo projeto na organização. A confeitaria onde se realizaram as atividades no presente trabalho pretende obter certificação em qualidade, contribuindo para o enriquecimento do trabalho desenvolvido. Foi possível concluir que o processo de implementação de um Sistema de Gestão da Qualidade exige o envolvimento e comprometimento de todos os membros da organização, onde é necessário existir um plano de trabalho com as medidas a implementar, bem como os objetivos e metas a atingir.

In order to follow the competitiveness of the current increasingly globalized market, Portuguese industry tries hard to keep up with this evolution, in which quality management systems are an integrant part of its processes. Many businesses have been adopting these management systems because they feel the need to stand out in the competitive market through the certification of their services. Based on these concerns, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) determined requirements for normalization of procedures in the implementation of quality management systems. these requirements are included standards that guide the companies that intend to implement management systems and, eventually, their further certification. The implementation of these systems contributes to better operation of the company, better management and production control, cost-cutting, market distinction and continuous improvement. The current work depicts the participation in the implementation process of NP EN ISO 9001:2008 in a confectionery company, where the methods to implement and the several stages were studied, together with the project…

Os controles de produção e qualidade executados no canteiro de obras têm sido frequentemente associados a trâmites burocráticos, sendo limitados a tarefas administrativas, em lugar de adicionar valor para os clientes internos e externos. Por esta razão, diversas pesquisas propuseram abordagens e indicadores para a integração entre controles de produção e qualidade. Uma das abordagens apontadas na literatura como promissora consiste no uso de dispositivos móveis, para apoiar a implementação destes controles. Tais dispositivos permitem a gestão de grandes quantidades de informações, evitando retrabalhos e erros derivados da coleta manual no papel e transcrição posterior para dispositivos digitais. Outros esforços têm se focado na integração entre os modelos de processo e produto de forma que a informação possa ser utilizada de forma mais eficaz na fase de construção. Os modelos de processo são necessários para realizar o planejamento e controle da produção, enquanto os modelos do produto são relacionados a representações 2D e 3D das obras e, mais recentemente, a modelos BIM. No entanto, a literatura sobre o uso de tecnologia da informação para implementar sistemas integrados de controle da produção e da qualidade é escassa. O objetivo do presente trabalho consiste em desenvolver um modelo para a integração entre processos gerenciais, representados pelos sistemas de planejamento e controle da produção e de gestão da qualidade, e um modelo BIM do produto, buscando facilitar o acompanhamento da execução da obra, incluindo o desempenho em termos de qualidade e a ocorrência de perdas. Foram desenvolvidos dois estudos empíricos em diferentes empresas construtoras, sendo adotada a abordagem metodológica da design science research. A principal contribuição deste trabalho está relacionada à execução da integração entre os resultados de controles pró-ativos no canteiro e o modelo BIM do empreendimento de forma sistemática. Além disso, o modelo proposto tem a possibilidade de ser adaptado para usos diversos, podendo, assim, incorporar informações correspondentes a outras fases do ciclo de vida dos empreendimentos construtivos.

Production and quality controls undertaken in construction sites have often been associated to bureaucratic procedures, being limited to simple administrative tasks, instead of adding value for internal and external stakeholders. For that reason, some research studies have proposed approaches and indicators for the integration of production and quality controls. One of these approaches pointed out in the literature is the use of mobile devices, to support the implementation of those controls. Those devices allow the management of large information batches, reducing rework and errors derived from manual paper-based data collection and further transcription to digital media. Other efforts have focused on the integration between product and process models so that information can be more effectively used during the construction phase of the project. Process models are necessary for carrying out production…

Dissertação de mestrado em Sistemas de Prevenção e Controlo Alimentar, apresentada na Escola Superior Agrária de Santarém, Instituto Politécnico de Santarém.

Os óleos alimentares fazem parte da dieta alimentar. A sua principal aplicação é a confeção de alimentos através de processos de culinária conhecidos ancestralmente, em que aqueles são cozinhados por imersão a altas temperaturas. Os processos de fritura, caseira ou industrial e a reutilização sucessiva do óleo alimentar nessas operações, conduz à sua degradação irreversível, através de diferentes vias e agentes intervenientes, sendo a via oxidativa provavelmente a mais importante, conhecida e estudada. Questões como: qual o estado real de degradação do óleo, como o avaliar e qual o destino a dar a um óleo alimentar em fim de vida, são perguntas que se colocam a nível da nutrição e da saúde humanas e ambiental. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo identificar parâmetros físico-químicos que permitam uma rápida e rigorosa deteção e qualificação de estados de degradação incipiente e severa de óleos alimentares usados e ainda estabelecer melhores práticas laboratoriais disponíveis (MPLD), de forma a recomendá-los com Indicadores de Degradação da Qualidade. Considera-se que a par dos critérios de aceitabilidade técnica, o fator económico tem um peso significativo nos critérios de seleção dos parâmetros, com fim à minimização de custos, tendo em conta que o objetivo é analisar óleos em fim de vida. Propõe-se a análise de OAU’s em contexto real de uso, pela correlação dos parâmetros: Humidade, aw, Acidez Total (AT), Índice de Peróxidos (IP), Índice de Iodo (IndI), Cor (CIE e CIELab) e Absorvência no UV, com monitorização por controlo microbiológico. Aplicando MPLD’s identificaram-se variáveis críticas, redefiniram-se gamas de trabalho e condições de ensaio, pois os procedimentos normativos não permitem obter resultados em conformidade com critérios de aceitação técnica para todo o ciclo de vida do óleo, cujo perfil se altera com a reutilização. As conclusões são ainda preliminares. Os parâmetros aw, AT, IP e cor CIELab revelam-se promissores como indicadores de degradação da qualidade. O teor de Humidade é, para este fim desinteressante. Cor CIE e Absorvência no UV, perfilam-se como métodos de referência.

Edible oils are components of human diet. Its main application is the confection of food trough cooking processes known anciently, in which they are cooked by immersion at high temperatures. The frying process and the reuse of the cooking oil leads to its irreversible degradation through different pathways and agents involved, where the oxidative pathway is probably the best known and studied process of degradation. Questions like: what is the actual state of degradation of the oil and what will be the final disposition of edible used oil (EUO), are doubts that concerns both human nutrition and health and environmental terms. The present work aims to identify physicochemical parameters and best laboratory practices available (BLPA), to allow a rapid and…

I kampen om marknaden är det nödvändigt att vara konkurrenskraftig, ett av verktygen för att ta sig dit är att ha en hög produktivitet i verksamheten. Ett effektivt sätt att nå en hög produktivitet är att använda sig av mätningar. Dessa kan vara finansiella och icke-finansiella beroende på de mål som fastställts av ledningen. Mätningar och dess resultat kan följas upp för utvärdering och för vidare utveckling som sedan kan användas som underlag för företagsledningens måluppsättning. Syftet med detta examensarbete är att undersöka hur icke-finansiella produktivitetsmätningar på lämpligast sätt kan utföras på projektnivå inom de tänkbara områdena kapacitetsutnyttjande, kvalitet och mängd/tidsenhet. För att få fram material till detta arbete ställs följande frågor: Vad är produktivitet? Hur mäts produktivitet inom byggprojekten idag? Vilka produktivitetsmått kan lämpligast användas i projekt? Målet med rapporten är att: Ta fram ett eller fler användbara mätningsförslag till Skanska Region Hus Stockholm Syd. Metodmässigt har detta examensarbete behandlats med hjälp av litteraturstudier och intervjuer med medarbetare vars befattningar har kopplingar till ämnet. Intresse för mätningar har upptäckts främst ligga inom området kvalitet. För att säkerställa att den efterfrågade kvaliteten tillhandahålls har det diskuterats kring systematiserade egenkontroller. I Skanskas ledningssystem, VSAA (Vårt Sätt Att Arbeta), presenteras en mall för utförandet av egenkontroller, utifrån intervjuerna tolkar skribenterna att man på projekten inte använder sig av mallen på ett systematiskt sätt. I kapitlet Analys och resultat har det getts förslag på ett tillvägagångsätt för utförandet och sammanställning av egenkontroller. Resultaten från intervjuerna visar att Skanska Region Hus Stockholm Syd inte utför direkta mätningar av produktivitet. Istället utförs avstämningar av tidplaner och kostnadskalkyler. Önskvärt från de intervjuade är införandet av en process att följa för att underlätta för mätningar på projekten. Ett förslag på ett arbetssätt vid projektering har diskuterats i kapitlet Analys och resultat.

To attract the market it is necessary to be competitive, one of the tools is to have a high productivity in the operations. An effective way is the use of measurements. These can be financial and non-financial depending on the goals set from the management. Measurements and the results can be used for evaluations and further development which then can be useful as a basis for management's goals. The purpose of this study is to investigate the non-financial productivity measurements in the most suitable way that can be used at the projects with the possible areas of capacity utilization, quality and quantity/time unit. The following questions been treated in order to obtain material for this work: ● What is productivity? ● How is productivity measured in construction projects…

▼ <h1>Sammanfattning</h1> Studiens syfte var att bidra till framtidens kvalitetsarbete i byggbranschen och att utveckla arbetet med kvalitet. I studien kartläggs om det finns faktorer som påverkar kvaliteten i större utsträckning än andra faktorer. Kartläggningen görs genom granskning av ett byggprojekt och Peabs interna kvalitetsarbete i Region Bygg Mellersta, där granskningen sker utifrån Totalkvalitetsbegreppet(Sandholm 2008). Granskningen utfördes på dokumentation, värdegrundsdokument, egenkontroller och intervjuer för att kartlägga det interna arbetet. Intervjuerna utfördes med samma frågeställningar till alla informanter, dock skiljer sig formuleringar åt mellan hantverkare och ledare inom Peab, se bilaga 1 och 2. I byggprojektet granskades dokumentationen där intervjuerna användes för att säkerställa vad olika yrkeskategorier, inblandade i projektet ansåg om byggprojektet som helhet. Syfte: Det är att bidra med analys av kvalitetsarbete i byggbranschen och därmed bidra till kvalitetsarbetets fortsatta utveckling. Studien görs för att kunna visa var det ger störst effekt att sätta in resurser för kvalitetsutveckling. Granskningen sker genom en fallstudie av Peabs interna kvalitetsarbete med fokus på Totalkvalitet. Mål: Övergripande mål är att utvärdera Peabs interna kvalitetsarbete för att se om det finns tydliga faktorer som påverkar kvaliteten i större omfattning än andra faktorer och föreslå Peab möjliga förbättringar. Delmål: Granska egenkontroller och dokumentation på Hasselbols förskola byggd 2013-2014, för att jämföra med Peabs uppsatta mål på byggnaden och om den egna målsättningen i byggnaden uppfylls.Granska kvalitet på egenkontroller och dokumentation på Hasselbols förskola.Intervjua informanterna.Granskning av intervjuerna. Alla granskningar som görs jämförs mot Peabs offentliga värdedokument i form av mål, visioner, policy, strategier & krav och begreppet Totalkvalitet. Metod: Inläsning på avhandlingar och information om Totalkvalitetsbegreppet.Kartläggning av byggprojektets totala dokumentation gjordes i början av studien tillsammans med arbetsledaren för byggprojektet Hasselbolsförskola. Granskningen sker på byggkontroller och annan dokumentation i projektet knutet till konstruktionen och på det interna arbetet som görs för att säkerställa kvalitén i byggnationen.Semistrukturerade intervjuer utförs med Peabs personal. Resultat för studien blev att Region Bygg Mellersta Peab uppfyller sina uppsatta mål i byggnaden Hasselbolsförskola.Kontroller och dokumentation på byggprojektet håller hög kvalitet och är genomarbetade där inga brister har funnits vid granskningen.Intervjuerna gav att de anställda i Peab lever upp till företagets värdedokument och två av fyra av företagets kärnvärden är klart dokumenterade under…

Studier visar att god planering sänker omkostnader och kostnader för ÄTA-arbeten. Det innebär att genomtänkt planering blir en allt viktigare faktor för att kunna minska kostnader för slöseri samt uppnå en effektiv produktion och god kvalitet. Ett hjälpmedel för att uppfylla detta är verktyget arbetsberedning. Arbetsberedning är ett begrepp som genom planering underlättar genomförandet av en aktivitet. För att uppnå önskat resultat och kvalitet ska val av utförandemetod, arbetskraft, material, maskiner och hjälpmedel fastställas i god tid innan arbetsmomentet påbörjas. Syftet med detta examensarbete är att göra en nulägesanalys av hur Peabs arbetsberedningar fungerar i produktionen. Att kartlägga eventuella fel eller brister samt att undersöka möjligheten till effektivisering. Målet är att effektivisera arbetsberedningen och presentera förbättringar. Studien har genomförts på Peab region mellersta och aktuella byggprojekt i Karlstad under våren 2017. Den omfattar en fallstudie på Talldungen förskola samt en intervjustudie där platschefer, arbetsledare och yrkesarbetare har intervjuats. Resultatet visar att Peab har ett strukturerat arbetssätt gällande arbetsberedningar och att medarbetare anser att verktyget är ett bra hjälpmedel. Med hjälp av arbetsberedning klargörs krav och eventuella frågetecken kan redas ut innan aktivitetsstart. Vid beredningen deltar yrkesarbetarna aktivt och kan påverka val av arbetsmetod, maskiner och verktyg. Detta resulterar i en positiv inställning och upplevs även ge bättre sammanhållning mellan yrkesgrupperna. Ett återkommande problem är att arbetsberedning inte prioriteras tidsmässigt vilket gör att uppföljningen efter genomförd aktivitet blir bristfällig och saknar ofta dokumentation. Utifrån de slutsatser som tagits från analysen rekommenderas utbildning, erfarenhetsbank samt ritning- och anvisningsstation som åtgärder. Peab bör även bli bättre på att informera sina medarbetare om vilka verktyg som finns tillgängliga samt satsa på att utveckla BIM-användandet.

Studies show that good planning reduces operating coasts and costs for change and additional work. It means that thoughtful planning becomes a more important factor in reducing waste costs and achieving efficient production and good quality. A tool to achieve this is work preparation. Work preparation is a concept that, through planning, facilitates the performance of an activity. To achieve the desired result and quality, the choice of the performance method, workforce, materials, machines and other tools must be decided in good time before the work begins. The purpose of this graduate project is to make a status analysis of how Peab's work preparations are used in production. Identify errors or deficiencies and to investigate the possibility of streamlining. The objective is to get the work preparation more efficient and to suggest improvements. The study has been made in cooperation with Peab Region middle and the current building projects in…

▼ The province (upazila) of Matlab in SE Bangladesh is highly affected with elevated concentrations of dissolved As content and widespread fecal contamination in untreated drinking waters. The study area is sedimentologically composed of thick floodplain deposits of Holocene age overlying Plio-Pleistocene grey fine to coarse sands with considerable clays (consisting of Dupi Tila formation). The goal of the current study is to understand the possible impact of co-occurrence of dissolved organic carbon (along with As release) and fecal indicator bacteria (e.g., E.coli) in aquifers from shallow to deep groundwater quality in this area. Nineteen groundwater (spanning a depth range of 14 to 240 m) samples and nine surface water samples (eight ponds and one canal in proximity to the piezometer nests) were collected from four different piezometric nests within north and south Matlab Upazila in Bangladesh during the monsoonal season (Jun-Jul 2014). The analyses of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and its fluorescence properties indicate that the chemical character of DOC from shallow to intermediate groundwaters (<150 m) and surface water is dominated by more aromatic and humic materials than deeper groundwaters. Both groundwaters and surface waters may receive humic substances leached from soil and/or from the cellular constituents and exudates of indigenous aquatic organisms. Dissolved organic carbons in groundwater and surface waters are composed of predominantly UVA and UVC-humic like along with tryptophan like components. Only 15% of total C is modern carbon at shallowest depths (<30 m) in groundwaters. The recharge source of groundwaters is from local precipitation, with or without some evaporation before infiltration as depicted by the δ2H and δ¹⁸O variations and the water is infiltrating through mostly terrestrially derived weathered sediments into the aquifers. The type of water in the study area is Ca-Na-HCO₃⁻ type. More toxic and soluble As (III) is present in shallow groundwaters (<30 m). High concentrations of As (V) and As[subscript (t)] are observed high in shallow and intermediate depth wells (<150 m). The most probable number based on the Colilert test and qPCR result for E.coli suggest that unprotected surface waters are harbingers for high microbial population compared to hand pumped wells. However, the very low observed concentrations of cultured E. coli (<1-10 MPN/100 mL) and E. coli DNA (<40 Copies/100 mL) in the wells indicates that the abundance of E.coli cells decrease rapidly with residence time in oligotrophic aquifers. Thus, it may be suggested that more humic DOC in shallow and intermediate groundwaters may be involved in complexation or other biogeochemical reactions that may mobilize As in groundwater. The non-indigenous bacteria can be the primary producers of DOC in the aquifers which can be utilizing surface derived DOC. Advisors/Committee Members: Saugata Datta.

▼ The imposition of water quality controls may affect the economy chiefly by altering aggregate production and changing the factor payments, These two effects could not only reallocate resources among production possibilities, but also could change the distribution of benefits of production among members of the society. This study attempted to provide a workable theory to establish an empirical test of the impacts of water quality controls on family income distribution. It consists of two separate areas: first, to analyze methodologies of measuring income distribution changes, and , second, to develop a theoretical model that is useful for empirical tests of the impacts of different water quality controls. A number of alternative probability density functions have been proposed as models of personal income distribution. The lognormal, displaced lognormal, gamma, and beta distribution functions were considered as appropriate methodologies, since each allows more productive power for income distribution as suggested in the past literature. Detailed information on income distribution can be extracted from the approximations of the distribution functions. One of the objectives of the research was to evaluate the different methodologies for usefulness. The gastwirth bounds for Gini coefficient were used as the test of goodness to fit; the beta density was clearly superior to the other densities for the SMSA data. Next, a theoretical model was constructed, emphasizing the production sector and the distribution sector. Water quality controls were introduced in the production process as a negative input. Water quality data were collected for all states, and indices of quality were estimated using analysis of variance techniques. The equilibrium conditions in commodity and factor markets generated the first impacts of water quality controls on total output and factor payments in the economy. The specific assumption was made as a theoretical bridge connecting family income distribution and factor payments in the distribution sector. It was assumed that a family's income equals total payments received from owned labor and capital in the production process. Thus, changes in factor payments and total output were included in the distribution equations. Water quality controls would, therefore, effect family income distribution through changes in total output and changes in factor payment. The simultaneous equation regression results for 72 SMSA's were not conclusive. It appeared that water quality parameter may effect the wage rate and total output, if the parameter was not, in fact, a surrogate for other excluded variables in the system. The effect of wage changes on income distribution was not significant, but changes in total output appeared to be the most significant variable in the distribution equations. In an attempt to account for the many variables which might be expected to effect income distribution, factor analysis was performed on the SMSA's. Two groups… Advisors/Committee Members: John E.

En hög rapporteringsgrad av egenkontroller är en förutsättning i dagens byggande. I varje projekt strävar alla parter mot att det både ska vara tids- och kostnadseffektivt. Egenkontrollen fungerar som en garanti för att rätt kvalitet på produkten hålls. Inte bara för beställaren men även för samhället och entreprenören själv. Denna studie har utförts i samarbete med PEAB Anläggning och har som huvudsyfte att undersöka företagets rutiner gällande egenkontrollsarbetet och därmed hitta möjliga förbättringar. Studien behandlar även vad de anställdas anser om dagens egenkontroller samt lyfter fram deras åsikter. Dessutom undersöks det hur PEAB Anläggnings pilotprojekt för BIM 360, som är ett digitalt system för hantering av bygghandlingar och dokument, har tagits emot av de anställda. En omfattande litteraturstudie har utförts för att ge information och kunskap inom ämnet. Från litteraturstudien har underlag för en enkätstudie och två intervjustudier skapats. Efter att resultatet analyserats och jämförts med litteraturstudien har det även diskuterats, både gällande resultat samt metod. För resultatet har förslag för möjliga förbättringsåtgärder lyfts fram. Förslagen kan leda till att PEAB Anläggning i framtiden kan utveckla sitt egenkontrollsarbete. Det kan i studien konstateras att det finns en del brister i dagens egenkontrollsarbete. En stor faktor är den krångliga administrationen. I studien har det även noterats att det finns ett engagemang bland de anställda att faktiskt arbeta och lära sig mer gällande förbättrad kvalitet och egenkontroller. Vidare bör PEAB Anläggning se över möjligheterna att utbilda sina anställda inom kvalitetssäkring och egenkontroller.

A high degree of self-inspection reports are essential in today's society where the construction is to be both time and cost effective. Self-inspections acts as a guarantee that the quality of the product is right. Not just for the customer but also for society and the contractor himself. This study has been prepared in cooperation with PEAB Anläggning and has as main purpose to examine the company's procedures regarding its own self-inspections work, and thereby find possible shortcomings. The study deals with employees' attitude towards today's self-inspections as well as highlighting their opinions. In addition, it examines how PEAB Anläggnings pilot project for BIM 360, a system for digital handling of construction documents is received by the employees. An extensive literature study was conducted to provide information and knowledge in the subject. From the literature study has the basis for a survey and two interview studies been created. After the results have been analyzed and compared with the literature study, it has also been discussed, both in terms of results and in terms of methods. The results have suggestions for possible improvement measures. The proposals could lead to the future development of PEAB Anläggnings self-inspections work. The study can confirm that there are some flaws in…

▼ Mass spectrometry plays a central role in proteomics studies which has allowed its expansion to biomedical research. In an effort to accelerate the understanding of the various aspects of protein biology, the comparison and integration of results across laboratories have gained importance. However, the variety of laboratory-specific protocols, instruments, and data processing methods limits the reliability and reproducibility of the proteomics datasets. The harmonization of LC-MS based proteomics experiments is thus urgently needed to ensure that the workflows used are suitable for the intended purpose of the experiments and that they generate consistent and reproducible results. In a first step towards this harmonization, the critical components of each step of the workflow must be identified. Consolidated sample preparation methods with defined recovery and qualified platforms along with systematic assessment of their performance have to be established. They should ultimately rely on well-defined recommendations and reference materials. Towards these goals, the present project aimed to define, based on current proteomics practices and recent technologies, experimental protocols that will constitute reference methods for the community. The associated results will represent a baseline that can be used to benchmark workflows and platforms, and to conduct routine experiments. A quality control procedure was developed to routinely assess the uniformity of proteomics analyses. The combination of a simple protocol and the addition of reference materials at different stages of the workflow allowed a straightforward monitoring of both sample preparation and LC-MS performance. In addition, as high resolution/accurate mass instruments with fast scanning capabilities turned out to be particularly suited to targeted quantitative experiments, a significant part of the work has consisted in the evaluation of the capabilities offered by such mass spectrometers to promote good practice upon their inception. The methods developed based on these emerging technologies were compared to the existing workflows allowing recommendations to be made for their implementation for fit-for-purpose experiments.

▼ Quality and safety of foods are often influenced by the presence and growth of microorganisms. Microorganisms in foods can be divided into two groups: pathogenic organisms, causing illness, and microorganisms that are not harmful to health, but that can spoil a product. Presence and growth of pathogenic organisms should be avoided as much as possible. Growth of spoilage organisms is allowed to a certain extent. Presence and growth of pathogenic microorganisms largely influences food safety, whereas growth of spoilage organisms, generally determines shelf life of a food product, Food quality is assumed to be influenced by both pathogenic organisms and spoilage organisms. A method to predict microbial safety and quality of foods is presented. The construction of a food product from its ingredients is simulated, following a recipe. Food processing heuristics are combined with models developed in predictive microbiology. Parameter values of ingredients of foods, such as water activity and acidity, and models for microbial growth and decay are used for prediction. The values of these parameters are collected and present in databases. If required information is lacking, methods to make reliable guesses of the parameters are developed. Furthermore, expert knowledge in production and development of foods can be applied to improve the quality of prediction. Shelf life can be calculated as a function of fluctuating temperature in time. Several food distribution chains can be simulated to assess the influence of distribution chains on food quality. The described methods are implemented into a computerised decision support system. Mathematical models for microbial growth, implemented in the decision support system, are given more attention to. Microbiological food quality is examined by modelling bacterial growth of a spoilage bacterium; Lactobacillus curvatus. Microbiological food safety is modelled by assessing growth behaviour of a pathogenic bacterium; Listeria monocytogenes. Models that describe the effect of acidity, temperature, and the combined effect of these variables on the growth parameters of Lactobacillus curvatus are developed and validated. Growth parameters (lag time, specific growth rate, and maximum population density) are calculated from growth data at various temperature-acidity combinations. The effect of acidity is monitored at several constant temperature values. Models are set up and fitted to the data. The same procedure is used at constant acidity values to model the effect of temperature. For lag time, specific growth rate, and maximum population density, the effect of temperature can be multiplied with the effect of acidity. The models are equipped with parameters suggesting that organisms cease growing at minimal or maximal values for controlling variables (Temperature, pH, a_w ). Evidence is presented for the existence of a lower and upper acidity boundary value for bacterial growth. The effect of temperature,… Advisors/Committee Members: K. van 't Riet, J.H.J.

▼ Audit evidence enables the auditor to express an opinion on the financial statements. To address the risk that the auditor may express an inappropriate opinion, the nature, timing and extent of audit procedures must be responsive to the assessed risks of material misstatement. The auditor must aggregate the levels of assurance obtained from different combinations of tests of controls, substantive analytical procedures and tests of details to respond to the assessed risks. These evidence planning decisions are complex and require professional judgement. Research has found that the extent of audit procedures is not linked to the assessed risks and that auditors may not know to aggregate evidence from different types of audit procedures. Research also supports the use of a structured audit methodology that includes decision models, to guide the application of professional judgement. This leads to the overall objective of this study: the development of an integrated audit evidence planning model to quantify the extent of audit evidence. The study employs a grounded theory model building approach, interpreting the relevant concepts and principles from the literature review into the development of the model. The integrated audit evidence planning model quantitatively relates the extent of audit evidence in a logical and structured manner with the risk assessment and three distinct overall levels of assurance needed to support the audit opinion. It uses the cumulative nature of audit evidence and the compensatory inter-relationship between tests of controls, substantive analytical procedures and tests of details to quantitatively aggregate the extent and levels of assurance from the different combinations of procedures to obtain reasonable assurance at the required overall level of assurance. The model provides a framework for influencing and guiding the exercise of professional judgement and is a practical and effective tool to benefit the users thereof when conducting an audit. Thus, the study models the extent of audit evidence with reference to the aggregation of different types and combinations of evidence and the linkage between the risk assessment and the extent of evidence that provides a flexible framework for the application of professional judgement regarding the gathering of audit evidence. Advisors/Committee Members: Barac, K. (Karin) (advisor), Odendaal, Elizabeth Margaretha (advisor).
