Background: Migrant health remains a rather under researched topic, particularly within the migration from and to countries within West Africa. For Cabo Verde, a ten-island archipelago, approximately 500 kilometers off the coast of Senegal, immigration is a fairly recent phenomenon and has caught the country off guard.

There is a bright future for friggeboden. So far it has been a success, by allowing the villa owner to take responsibility for his/her own plot and be able to build as they want. Until now has the maximum size been 15m2, which is big enough for a guest cottage, shed or as hobby house. Now the government will change the law the 1st of July 2014 to 25m². This allows permanent housing in friggeboden.

Vi tror att kombinationen av dessa två ord kan leda till något större än vad orden gör var och en f

Accessibility is something that many take for granted. For people with disabilities is, more often than not, the case not so. This in particular becomes a problem if the ability to reside in a community’s streetscape becomes a problem. It is mainly these people that society must adapt to. Public transport is an important part of society. Buses are a large part of the public transport. Public trans
In the modern times of industry where hydraulic are of use, all the motors run on their nominal workload, where the pumps are constant. The given flow is regulated with the help of valves which chokes the flow. From an energy perspective this contributes to a great amount of energy losses, where the demand can be much lower than the supply. We can observe from today’s society that the energy costs

This report is dealing with the question whether or not it’s possible to choose components, for an automated system, in a way that allows the system itself to act as flawless as possible and to be able to inform the operator when service is due and therefore minimize the overall downtime of the system. It was soon established that this cannot be done simply by choosing components but has to be don
Vi ska kolla på hur leverantörerna ser på hur de kan göra bättre redovisningar/beredningar på plats på det som de levererar, ex fönster. Vad de tycker entreprenören kan göra bättre för att de ska göra bättre beredningar och göra de på plats. Detta gör vi genom att granska exempelvis 5 av Skanskas stora leverantörer, som de vet gör bra leveranser. Samt 5 mindre leverantörer. Det resultat vi får fra
