Partnervåld – en arbetsgivarfråga? : Kommunala enhetschefers uppfattning om arbetsgivarens roll och ansvar i anställdas utsatthet för partnervåld / Partnerviolence – an employer issue?

Tångring, Sara, Åkerlund, Fanny January 2020 (has links)
Att vara utsatt för partnervåld kan medföra konsekvenser för både den fysiska och psykiska hälsan, och även att innebära att påverkas på olika sätt. Syftet med studien var att få en fördjupad förståelse kring kommunala enhetschefers uppfattning om sin roll och om arbetsgivaransvar när det gäller anställdas utsatthet för partnervåld. En kombination av kvantitativ och kvalitativ metod har använts och data samlades in genom en webbenkät och semistrukturerade intervjuer som analyserades i deskriptiv, bivariat respektive tematisk analys. Studien visade att partnervåld upplevs av enhetschefer som ett svårt ämne och att avsaknaden av reglering i lagstiftning och fastställda rutiner kring hur dessa ärenden ska hanteras gör att det blir upp till varje enskild enhetschef att avgöra hur det hanteras. Resultatet har sedan diskuterats i förhållande till tidigare forskning, lagstiftning och systemteori. / Being subjected to partner violence can have consequences for both physical and mental health, and also to be affected in different ways. The purpose of the study was to gain a deeper understanding of municipal unit managers 'perceptions of their role and of employer responsibility regarding employees' exposure to partner violence. A combination of quantitative and qualitative method has been used and data were collected through a web survey and semi-structured interviews which were analyzed in descriptive, bivariate and thematic analysis. The study showed that partner violence is perceived by unit heads as a difficult subject and that the lack of regulation in legislation and established routines around how these matters are to be handled, makes it up to each individual unit manager to decide how it is handled. The results have since been discussed in relation to previous research, legislation and system theory.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Renato de Souza Gonçalves.pdf: 2338121 bytes, checksum: 85b8036843bc2880b84c59e7336108f9 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2018-03-12 / This research aims to analyze the losses occurring in the production process of a food industry, where statistical methods were used in the milk, peanut and marmalade production line. The case study was carried out at the Doçaria Dois Irmãos, located in Anápolis state of Goiás, where all the data were obtained for the study. The Toyota Production System was used with some quality management tools for the identification and treatment of losses. The data were processed according to the Statistical Process Control, where the stability tests were performed in the production process stages, and this was done through the control charts. After stabilizing the production process with the interventions made in the industry, it was also possible to perform the process capability test, where it was verified that some process steps do not have capacity. Through the results obtained, it was also possible to measure financially the losses that were occurring in the industry, the inherent gains of the investments in the improvement actions and the time of return on the investment made. Thus, it was understood that the time of return on investments justifies the interventions in the productive process of the company in question. It was concluded, therefore, that the losses in the productive process of the industry under study, not only left the processes unstable and incapable statistically, but also was generating unnecessary production costs. By applying improvement actions in the industry, it was possible to raise important information within the production process, as well as increase the profit in the production line of the selected sweets, due to the reduction of losses in the process. / Esta pesquisa visa analisar as perdas ocorrentes no processo produtivo de uma indústria de alimentos, onde foi utilizado métodos estatísticos na linha de produção dos doces de leite, amendoim e casadinho. O estudo de caso ocorreu na Doçaria Dois Irmãos, localizada em Anápolis estado de Goiás, onde obteve-se todos os dados para a concretização do estudo. Foi utilizado o Sistema Toyota de Produção com algumas ferramentas da gestão da qualidade para identificação e tratamento das perdas. Os dados foram tratados segundo o Controle Estatístico de Processo, onde se realizou os testes de estabilidade nas etapas do processo produtivo, sendo isto realizado através das cartas de controle. Após se estabilizar o processo produtivo com as intervenções feitas na indústria, foi possível também realizar o teste de capacidade do processo, onde se verificou que algumas etapas do processo não possuem capacidade. Através dos resultados obtidos, foi ainda possível mensurar financeiramente as perdas que vinham ocorrendo na indústria, os ganhos inerentes dos investimentos nas ações de melhoria e o tempo de retorno sobre o investimento realizado. Sendo assim, entendeu-se que o tempo de retorno sobre os investimentos justifica as intervenções no processo produtivo da empresa em questão. Conclui-se, portanto, que as perdas no processo produtivo da indústria em estudo, não só deixavam os processos instáveis e incapazes estatisticamente, como também estava gerando custos de produção desnecessários. Ao se aplicar ações de melhoria na indústria, foi possível levantar importantes informações dentro do processo produtivo, bem como aumentar o lucro na linha de produção dos doces selecionados, devido à redução de perdas no processo.

A reliability model of a power distribution network with reference to petrochemical and gas-to-liquid plants

Manning, James January 2013 (has links)
The interruption cost for one hour of a petrochemical plant is 33 times higher than that of the average interruption cost for industrial plants across all industries. In addition to the high cost of loss of production, interruptions to the operations of petrochemical and gas-toliquid plants pose safety and environmental hazards. Thus it is necessary to better understand the reliability requirements of petrochemical and gas-to-liquid plants. This study investigated the reliability of electrical distribution networks used in petrochemical and gas-to-liquid plants compared to those used in other industrial plants. A model was developed that can be used to establish the adequacy of the reliability of a distribution network in terms of the components and network topologies used. This model was validated against data that had been collected by the IEEE and applied to an actual petrochemical plant. Over 19 years’ worth of data regarding the trips that have occurred on the distribution network of an existing petrochemical plant was collected and manipulated in order to calculate the reliability indices associated with the equipment used to make up thisRecommended Practice for the Design of Reliable Industrial and Commercial Power Systems. The cost of loss of production and the capital costs associated with increased reliability were calculated for a section of the existing petrochemical plant. The reliability associated with different network topologies that could possibly be used to supply power to this section of the plant were modelled using an appropriate software package. The resulting total cost of ownership over the life of the plant associated with each topology was then calculated in order to establish which network topology is the most appropriate for petrochemical and gas-to-liquid plants. It was concluded the components that affect the reliability of an industrial distribution network are different to those that affect a utility distribution network. These components were listed and compared. It was found that the reliability indices that were calculated for the components that affect the reliability of a petrochemical plant were similar to those provided by the IEEE. 17 out of 20 of the indices that were calculated were within the required factor of deviation. Generally the failure rates of components used in petrochemical plants were very similar to those given in the IEEE Gold Book, while the MTTR’s for the components used in petrochemical plants were found to be slightly better than those given in the IEEE Gold Book. The effect of network topology was found to be significant, with small changes in the topology of a network resulting in large variations in the reliability of the network. It was also found that the most appropriate type of network topology to use in the design of the electrical distribution network of a petrochemical plant is the dual radial network. This is the most conservative of the commonly used network topologies and is the one that is currently used in the existing plant that was studied. Due to the high cost of loss of production in petrochemical plants it was established that any incremental improvement in the reliability of the dual radial network would be beneficial to the total cost of ownership of such a plant. Such incremental improvement of the reliability of the distribution network could be cost effectively achieved by adopting a conservative maintenance strategy and the establishment of a conservative spares inventory. Before this study was undertaken, there was no literature around the reliability of electrical distribution networks that focused specifically on petrochemical and gas-to-liquid plants. This study produced a set of reliability indices and a model that electrical engineers can use in the reliability analysis of petrochemical and gas-to-liquid plants. Furthermore it shows that, because the cost of loss of production in petrochemical plants is so high, the most conservative distribution network design and maintenance philosophies should always be used. distribution network. These reliability indices were compared to those given by the IEEE / Dissertation (MEng)--University of Pretoria, 2013. / gm2014 / Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering / unrestricted
