The purpose of this study is to examine types of challenges during the implementation of BPM regarding the set and use of performance indicators from a theoretical and practical perspective. Consequently, this thesis generates an understanding by illuminating reasons behind the previously found challenges. Hereby, this case study has followed a qualitative, abductive research strategy. The used pr
The produced heat in hardening concrete is of special importance to consider as the temperature rise within a large concrete structure can become such high that the structure may experience thermal cracking. With use of a simulation program that is based on the finite element method, the temperatures within the structure can be estimated to predict possible crack development. The heat produced by
Göta älv is the largest river in Sweden, which runs from the Lake Vänern into Kattegatt. The river is of national interest and is used as a drinking water supply for 700 000 inhabitants, for fishing, recreation and as a recipient for treated wastewater. The water quality is affected by runoff waters, precipitation, waste water and accidental spills from industry and vessels. Kungälv County is in
Devices connected to an Internet-based network, known as the Internet of Things (IoT), are becoming more common both privately in the household or on businesses. Everything from the lighting to coffee makers and washing machines, to the cars in the garage and the door locks can now be equipped with sensors and connected via the Internet to an application by users. Combitech has developed an Intern
Bridges for pedestrians and bicycles are getting more common. Often, they are seen spanning motorways and railways, to separate walking and cycling traffic from fast going heavy traffic. It is common that the chosen bridge type for this purpose is a truss bridge consisting of rolled steel profiles. When more and more bridges are being planned, the planning process also needs to be rationalised. Th

Risk management is a process that is necessary in projects, yet there are companies that are either performing it or not performing it thoroughly. Studies show that projects, where risk management is involved in the process, succeed better in aspects such as time and budget. Risk management consists of identifying, analysing, doing a risk response and monitoring. There are different types of risk
Examensarbetet är en studie som syftar till att kartlägga de kritiska delarna inom logistik i byggbranschen och belysa dessa ur ett Lean perspektiv med fokus på förbättring. Nuläget av branschens logistikflöde vid byggnation och försörjningskedjan av prefabricerade byggelement skall också kartläggas. Studien ska på ett rådgivande sätt ge förslag till alternativa lösningar av logistikens problemomr
The railway is an important part of the Swedish infrastructure. For several years there has been an increase in traffic as well as in the demand for a well-functioning railway system. However the increased traffic does at the same time set higher demands for availability, reliability and punctuality. In order to meet these demands and to perform maintenance work in an efficient and predictable way

Girls continue to be less interested in studying engineering than boys. Previous research has found that this gender difference is in part due to girls’ lower self-efficacy, lower sense of belonging in engineering and higher communal goals, which they perceive are difficult to fulfil in engineering. This study tested if a role model intervention can improve these factors in female high school stud

Under min utbildning i musik och pedagogik har jag komponerat musik och därigenom utvecklat kunskaper i gehör, musikteori och komposition. Under mina kompositionsprocesser har jag stött på hinder och problem som ibland gjort att jag slutat att komponera. Med denna studie har jag konstruerat och skapat ett brädspel, Kompo, som verktyg för att komponera musik. När man spelar spelet resulterar detta During my education in music and pedagogy I have composed music, and through that developed my knowledge in ear, music theory and composition. During my composing processes I have sometimes stopped composing due to different obstacles. With this study, I have designed and created the board game Kompo as a tool for students to learn to compose music. The aim of this boardgame is that the players cr
