This essay has an aim to map out the discourses in the debate around local self government and national equivalence, which are both essential democratic values. The essay is delimited to the area of the comprehensive school. Interviews have been made with key persons in different positions in a selected municipality. I also use material that has been written in the context of Ansvarskommittén. The material is analysed using an integrated discourse analysis.

There is a lot going on in the construction business right now. It feels like everywhere you turn there is a building sight. Furthermore the business is heading a generation change and the need of recruiting new construction engineers is huge. How is the business going to handle the transition that they are facing? The question has been in progress for at while and I wanted to find out what the current students feel about taking the step into the working life and replace the veterans.A research is made about student?s opinion about their education and future work life.

The client, Senselogic, had noticed an increased demand for an e-commerce system integrated into its product, SiteVision, something that did not previously exist. Senselogic wanted to integrate a third-party system to manage e-commerce. The problem was that there were very many e-commerce solutions to choose from. In order to select the best system it was necessary to evaluate the e-commerce systems and compare them to each other. To identify the elements that has to be included in an e-commerce system a study of literature was conducted.

Syftet med examensarbetet är att hjälpa ett företag med att införa standardlittera för deras prefabricerade betongelement som ingår i deras Konceptet. Införandet av standardlittera ska resultera till att återfinna och gruppera deras betongelement i CAD-systemen. We did our thesis project at one of the most prestigious Swedish construction companies. We have examined the possibilities of doing sandwich elements to standard elements which would increase the degree of industrialization. The company has developed a concept that is based on a more refined process of industrialization.

This essay will try to explain and compare the different development steps which Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina have taken after the war. How could countries with such similar backgrounds develop in such different ways? By analyzing and comparing the two countries the purpose was to examine how these countries which had so much in common could develop in so different ways. My two questions are: What similarities and differences are there between the development which Bosnia and Croatia have taken after the war? Why have Croatia succeeded and not Bosnia?My analysis showed that the main reason to the difference between these countries was that Bosnia is divided; all ethnic groups in Bosnia only consider what's best for their own ethnic group and not what's best for the country. Croatia however has expelled the Serbs which made it easier for them to have a succesfull democratic development. .

In the preschool curriculum there is not much described when it comes to the subject of music. What is written about the aesthetic subjects is related to the overall learning moments, rather than separated into objectives for each subject. The learning includes, among other things, that the children will be offered a variety of cultural experiences. However, there is no explanation to what should be included in the use of music. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the function of preschool song circles, based on three preschool teachers' stories.

This study is about which opinion active teachers are having when it comes to integrate religious traditions and ceremonies in their teaching. The aim is to study the religious traditional ceremonies part and how they are being defined in the Swedish classrooms in primary school. Together with literature, research and the discussion in this study, I came up to a few conclusions of how religious ceremonies will be integrated and how it looks like in Swedish classrooms. In this study of literature and research overview, the literatures are intended to provide an insight about how the Swedish school system went from a Christian education to a school that was separate from the church. In the chapter called Literature and research overview the literatures are written by scientists and therefore this chapter is based on research.

We are heading towards a huge switch of how energy is produced with fossil fuels being replaced by renewable energy sources. It is not difficult to replace the energy you use in the house and there is no need for futuristic technology. There are already many established products on the market such as high efficiency vacuum solar collectors, heat pumps & small wind power stations that can supply the energy being used in a house. The company Sol & Energiteknik SE AB in Huskvarna has many different products which can reduce the need for an outside energy distributor. An average house in Sweden uses 15 000 kWh for heating, 5000 kWh for tap water and 5000 kWh for electricity.

This report will examine various solar energy technologies in order to decide if they could be applied in the Royal Seaport. The Royal Seaport is a Swedish urban district under development in Stockholm, with the goal of becoming a sustainable district. Two main techniques, solar collectors and solar cells, including sub-categories, are addressed in this report. Another sub-category, a hybrid system, will also be mentioned. The main difference between solar collectors and solar cells is the type of energy produced by the system.

The construction market has, as a result of the crisis in Europe been uncertain in recent years. During the year 2013, the construction will be stabilized, in particular Finland. The geographical proximity between Sweden and Finland and similarities in cultures and climates makes Finland a coveted market for many Swedish companies.Differences in national regulations and guidelines, which are produced by the authorities in different countries, are examples of barriers that may hamper the process, including for Swedish villa suppliers, to establish themselves on the Finnish market. It may be useful when facing a new export drive, to look up what similarities and differences there are between the countries building codes, to prevent mistakes and unnecessary costs to the project work..

Uppsatsens titel: Utformning av ett balanserat styrkort - En fallstudie på Lindabs svenska filialerKurs: Examensarbete, Civilekonomexamen, Controller, 30hp (4FE03E)Lärosäte: Ekonomihögskolan vid Linnéuniversitetet, VäxjöFörfattare: Martin Andersson och Stefan KesakHandledare: Elin Funck Examinator: Lars-Göran AidemarkDatum: 2012-05-26Nyckelord: Balanserat styrkort, Benchmarking, Prestationsmätning, Strategi, Försäljning, Filialverksamhet Bakgrund: Lindab är en internationell ventilations- och byggkoncern som är uppdelad i de tre affärsområdena Ventilation, Building Components och Building Systems. Försäljning och distribution av Lindabs produkter sker främst via egna filialer. Studien fokuserar på de svenska filialerna och utgår från Lindabs önskemål om att få hjälp med att förbättra sin prestationsmätning samt öka jämförbarheten mellan filialerna.Syfte: Uppsatsen syftar till att utforma ett balanserat styrkort för Lindabs försäljnings- och distributionsfilialer i Sverige för att ge förutsättningar för en bättre kontroll och styrning av deras prestationer och öka jämförbarheten mellan filialerna.Metod: Vi har genomfört en fallstudie på Lindabs svenska filialer med en abduktiv forskningsansats. Det empiriska materialet grundar sig på intervjuer, filialbesök, samt externt och internt material.Resultat och slutsats: Vi har utformat ett balanserat styrkort som möjliggör bättre kontroll och styrning av filialernas prestationer genom att Lindabs vision och strategier har brutits ner i strategiskt viktiga mått i de olika perspektiven. Vårt styrkort skapar dessutom en balans mellan kortsiktiga och långsiktiga målsättningar, externa och interna prestations­perspektiv, finansiella och icke-finansiella mått samt mellan utfallsmått och drivande mått.

To build a sustainable future should we first understand that; every aspect of our daily lives can affect the environment. It?s important that we take responsibility for understanding how we impact the environment and change our actions accordingly. The worlds total energy consumption equivalent to 80 million MWh / year. This corresponds to about 220 million MWh / day.Energy consumption is one of the main reasons for increased greenhouse gases when the reduction of this consumption has a great demand worldwide.In order to prevent the energy that consumed the buildings must be energy efficient but there is a conflict between radon ventilation and energy conservation in a building, given that ventilation can consume as much energy (currently 29-59% of energy-efficient houses use), especially in a cold climate as in Norway.

Alla rum i huset vetter mot gemensamma ytor och korridorer, och går att låsa. Det medför att man som hyresgäst kan hyra en valfri kombination av rum i hela huset. Rummen är specifica i och med att de har olika egenskaper och passar för olika syften. Man skulle kunna säga att programmet(bostäder, kontor och butiker) är uppdelade i sina mindre beståndsdelar och fördelade i de olika rummen. Möjligheterna går från att endast sova i huset och leva resten av livet i staden, till att leva större delen av sitt liv i huset. Huset erbjuder ett alternativ till normen för hur man bor, arbetar och lever..
