När kraven på mätosäkerhet är hög vid geodetiska mätningar behövs geodetiska referenssystem realiserade av geodetiska nät av hög kvalitet. Etableringen och transformation till överordnade referenssystem i höjd av dessa nät genomförs idag ofta med terrestra metoder som avvägning, vilket är ett noggrant men tidskrävande arbete. Det finns flera försök att använda sig av andra metoder såsom GNSS, men en möjlighet skulle även vara att använda punktmoln från flygburen laserskanning. Detta arbetes syfte är att undersöka om punktmoln kan användas till transformation av ett geodetiskt höjdnät i Sandvikens kommun. Nätet består av cirka 500 fixpunkter och har 2010 transformerats till RH2000 av Lantmäteriet. Det använda punktmolnet har producerats av Lantmäteriet och har en medelavvikelse om 0,05 m på plana hårdgjorda ytor. Detta är relativt högt då vanligen osäkerheter på millimeternivå önskas vid transformationer. Men eftersom medeltal kan reducera slumpmässiga avvikelser i enskilda mätningar kan en transformation bestående av ett medelhöjdskift möjligen ge ett tillfredsställande resultat. Medelhöjdskiftet är då ett medeltal av flera höjdskift beräknade på olika ställen i punktmolnet. Genom att avväga höjdskillnaden mellan fixpunkterna i nätet och punkter på markytan som med olika metoder höjdbestäms utifrån punktmolnet har höjder för fixpunkterna enligt punktmolnet erhållits. Dessa har jämförts med RH2000 höjder enligt Lantmäteriets transformation för att beräkna en avvikelse, samt med de äldre lokala höjderna för att beräkna ett höjdskift. Genom att beräkna medelvärde och dess osäkerhet för höjdskiftet över hela nätet har en uppfattning om metodens lämplighet erhållits. Höjdskiften låg överlag inom några millimeter från det som Lantmäteriet beräknat, med 3 mm osäkerhet för den överlag bästa metoden. Även om höjdskiftets och därmed transformationens osäkerhet delvis blev något hög jämfört med avvägning så kan punktmoln ändå vara ett lämpligt alternativ. Speciellt i mera avlägsna områden utan bra anknytningar till det överordnade nätet kan det vara intressant. Det finns dock många parametrar som ännu inte utforskats, bland annat vissa eventuella systematiska avvikelser. / When the requirements on accuracy and precision are high for geodetic measurements you need geodetic reference systems realized with geodetic control networks of high quality. Today, establishment and transformation to higher order reference systems for height usually uses terrestrial methods like levelling. While highly accurate these result in time consuming work. There have been a couple attempts at using other methods for this task, for example GNSS, but another possibility might be usage of point clouds from airborne laser scanning. As a starting point for further studies this study attempts to use point clouds to transform a geodetic height network in Sandviken municipality, Sweden. The network consists of around 500 benchmarks and has been transformed to the national reference system for height, RH2000, by the Swedish national geodetic survey (Lantmäteriet) in 2010. The point cloud used is also produced by Lantmäteriet and is said to have a mean error of 0,05 m. This is relatively high since the requirements usually are in the millimeter range when determining transformation parameters, but if the transformation only consist of a single height shift calculated as a mean from several height shifts derived from the point cloud any random errors in the point cloud should be reduced. By measuring the height difference between benchmarks and points on the ground, that through different methods are given heights according to the point cloud, heights of the benchmarks have been determined according according to the point cloud. These can be compared to heights in RH2000 according to the transformation performed by Lantmäteriet to see their deviation from the assumed true value. Further comparisons against the older local heights of the benchmarks give a height shift that can be used as a simple transformation. By calculating a mean and uncertainty an estimation of the suitability of the method can be achieved. The all height shifts deviated a few millimeters from the result Lantmäteriet got, with uncertainties around 3 mm for the overall best method. Even if the uncertainty of the shift and therefore the transformation ended up somewhat high compared to what Lantmäteriet achieved it is still believed that point clouds may be or become a viable alternative. Especially in more remote regions without good connections to the higher order network. There are many parameters that have not yet been explored though, as well as some potential systematic errors that should be further investigated.

In this thesis was elaborated the topic: Project and surveying of the network for planimetry and hight points in the area of the river Ostřice using several methods. It{\crq}s purpose was a reconnaissance of the part of a basin of Ostřice, assessment of existing point field, propose and complete the point network for planimetry in sufficient density for further surveying work in the area and survey of location and level by using geodetic methods and GPS. The reconnaissance of the area was conducted due to geodetic and levelling data of the points and maps. A network of 18 points of the detailed point network was built. I located nine of them by using a GPS method and a method of polygonal traverse. The electronic total station Leica TC 407 was used for the point survey by the method of polygonal traverse, for the GPS method was used a GPS apparatus Trimble 4600LS. Altitude of the points was determined by the method of technical levelling. For the altitude determination was used a Topcon AT {--} 24A levelling device.

Eleven official languages are spoken in South Africa. Misunderstandings during communication seems to be inevitable. The researcher or psychologist often does not speak or have full command of the language of the group that is being investigated, and therefore has to rely on interpreters to understand the internally experienced world of these persons. Trained interpreters are scarce and this study endeavours to determine the extent of the validity of translations done by the available interpreters. This is done by means of a psychological-systemic perspective. The nature of this study is qualitative. Fifteen interviews were conducted with trauma patients at the Maxilla- and Face Surgery Department of the Garankuwa Hospital. Only eleven of these were useable. Mouth injuries etc. affected the quality of the other interviews not used. Four nurses from this department interviewed the patients and wrote up the interpreted answers on a semi-structured interview schedule made available by the researcher. A verbatim translation of the interviews was made from the tape recordings. Units of meaning were assigned and a comparison of the interpreted and the verbatim translations were made. Three perceptual styles were used to identify how much of the meaning the interpreter included (sharpening), excluded (levelling) and changed (assimilation) during the translation. The translation-interpretation process is analysed against the contextual background and paradigms of the participants The results make it clear that South Africa indeed has a problem with the validity of the outputs of interpreters being used as well as the availability of interpreters and their subject-specific training.

Interpretative profile has localized fault, whose tectonic activity belong to possible factors level movement in the village. Level measurements meets the requirement of precise levelling. The results of the measurements are compared and discussed with the previous stages of the research.

This thesis is focused on development of a new type of lightweight self-levelling floor screed. The aim of this thesis is to develop lightweight screed with self-levelling function, which could be stored in a dry mixture in bags or silos, designed for use with only addition of water.

This study work deals with the determination of the gravimetric geoid model for Kazakhstan by using the KTH-method. A number of data sets were collected for this work, such as the gravity anomalies, high-resolution Digital Elevation Model (DEM), Global Geopotential Models (GGMs) and GPS/Levelling data. These data has been optimally combined through the KTH approach, developed at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm. According to this stochastic method, Stokes’ formula is being used with the original surface gravity anomaly, which combine with a GGM yields approximate geoid heights. The corrected geoid heights are then obtained by adding the topographic, downward continuation, atmospheric and ellipsoidal corrections to the approximate geoid heights. To compute the geoid model for Kazakhstan as accurately as possible with available data set different numerical tests have been performed: Choice of the best fit geopotential model in the computation area Investigations for the best choice of the initial condition for determination of the least-squares parameters Selection of the best parametric model for reducing the effect of the systematic error and data inconsistencies between computed geoid heights and GPS/Levelling heights.  Finally, 5'x5' Kazakh gravimetric geoid (KazGM2010) has been modelled.
