Den här uppsatsen har två syften. Det ena är att studera möjligheter till medborgarinflytande i 4 och 5 kapitlet plan- och bygglagen. Det andra syftet är att dels presentera de mest användbara förhandlingsmetoderna i USA, dels studera erfarenheterna från olika aktörer i USA, samt beskriva hur man kan förmå olika aktörer att överhuvudtaget komma till en förhandling vid liknande fall som plan- och bygglagen behandlar. För denna magisteruppsats har en deskriptiv metod använts. I uppsatsen berörs inte den svenska miljörätten, dvs.

This is a master thesis on how to develop the central area of Norra Fäladen, a suburban housing area in the town of Lund, Sweden. The area is discussed on the basis of literature studies, analysis, and place descriptions, which leads on to a proposal. The starting point for the proposal is to create a more lively local centre and to make the area pleasanter for the visitor. A large part of the thesis is devoted to giving a background about local centres and to describe and analyse the area. Fäladstorget has an important role as a central place for supply and services and as a local meeting place for the inhabitants of Norra Fäladen.

The transportation sector is the only sector of the Swedish society that is still increasing the emissions of carbon dioxide and other green house gases. Diesel fuel represents one of the fuels that contributes to these emissions and the use of diesel fuels is increasing every year. The main purpose of this study was to make an estimation of the current business situation for producers of liquid diesel biofuels in Sweden such as biodiesel, synthetic diesel and crude tall diesel and examine the forces of competition of the industry today and its future prospects. The study revealed that the rivalry among the existing firms was low mainly due to the geographical spread of the companies. Moreover the success of the biodiesel industry was influenced by a long-term guarantee of the tax exempt for biofuels and by the price level of petroleum diesel.

Scania står mitt i införandet av ett nytt CAD- och modellarkivsystem. Med införandet av dessa system öppnar sig nya möjligheter att hantera artikelinformation grafiskt som tidigare inte funnits. Med de nya systemen, Catia V5 och Enovia LCA, finns nu möjligheten att inleda processen mot att få 3D-modellen till informationsbärare.Examensarbetet syftar till att utvärdera och kartlägga möjligheterna för 3D-kravsättning med hjälp av FT&A modulen i Catia V5, för att få 3D-modellen som informationsbärare på Scania. FT&A modulen (Functional Tolerancing & Annotation) som utvärderats i arbetet kan bäst beskrivas som en mått- och toleranssättningsmodul för 3D-modellen. I utvärdering undersöktes förutom FT&A kompabiliteten mot Scanias ritningsstandarder, hur FT&A kravsatta modeller kan sparas ner i Enovia.För att få bättre förståelse för hur det dagliga arbetet med ritningar bedrivs på Scania genomfördes en undersökning med Scania medarbetare där nyckelpersoner från selekterade avdelningar intervjuades.

Background: It has been a common perception in the media in recent years that external shopping malls extinguish the trade in Swedish downtown areas. Factors that promote external shopping malls are that customers become more and more indolent and more people buy CARS. Despite this fact, downtown areas have a great deal to offer when it comes to creating a pleasant atmosphere. Furthermore, customers are becoming more demanding and want something extra while doing their shopping. More and more shopkeepers therefore realize the importance of events as an instrument to offer experiences to the customers.Purpose: To investigate whether shopkeepers in downtown Linköping consider the external shopping mall in Tornby a competitor or not and, if so, in what ways the trade in the downtown area has been affected by Tornby.

Titel: Volvo On Call - en underskattad hjälp på vägen? En studie av internkommunikation mellan företag och återförsäljare.Författare: Elin Salekärr & Hanna TimringKurs: Medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap, ExamensarbeteTermin: Höstterminen 2007Syfte: Syftet med arbetet är att undersöka informationsflödet kring tjänsten Volvo On Call, med fokus på den interna informationen mellan Volvo CARS och dess återförsäljare.Metod och material: Undersökningen har gjorts genom fem kvalitativa informantintervjuer samt nitton telefonintervjuer som i viss mån ska fungera som kvantifierande. Såväl informanter som respondenter är säljare hos olika Volvohandlare inom ett specifikt geografiskt område, som valts ut med hänsyn till tidsbegränsning och liknande aspekter. Teorier rörande kommunikationsprocesser i stort har använts men med fokus på organisationers interna och marknadsmässiga kommunikation. Den interna kommunikationen syftar till att skapa en välfungerande organisation och ett företags marknadskommunikation syftar i sin tur till att gynna organisationen exempelvis ekonomiskt, då det oftast rör sig om reklam i olika former.Huvudresultat: De huvudresultat som framkommit i studien är att den låga försäljningen av tjänsten Volvo On Call beror på många olika faktorer.

To achieve the goal of fossil independency in the Swedish vehicle fleet in 2030, it would be important to substantially increase the proportion of electric vehicles, both BEV:s (Battery Electric Vehicles) and PHEV:s (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles). The Swedish Energy Agency has funded numerous research and development projects about electric vehicles in recent years. An important task for the Swedish Energy Agency is to allocate state funds to those projects with the greatest potential to contribute to increased establishment of electric vehicles in society. The purpose of this work is mainly to understand the efforts and measures that can make the market for electric vehicles to grow. The report can contribute to a better understanding of how far the research on electric vehicles has come and what has to be done in the future to promote the establishment of electric vehicles. Another aim for this report is that it should serve as a basis for future decisions by the Swedish Energy Agency on which projects that will be funded with state funds.

The purpose of this thesis is to show how a good approach can be designed, focusing on the southern approach to the Swedish town Vilhelmina. Prior to the car being part of everyday life, the approach was a road where the town showed itself from the very best side. When the amount of traffic increased, so did noise and other disturbances, and as a consequence industrial areas replaced the residential buildnings at the approaches. Today, the pendulum is turning back and in recent years the approach is regarded as a place to introduce the town. The approach is also the place where CARS should slow down from the speed of the main road to the speed of the city.

According to the EC fuel regulations 2 % bio fuel has to be blended in all fuel by the year 2005, and 5.75 % by the year 2010, which means ethanol for gasoline driven vehicles, so there will be a substantial demand for ethanol. Brazil already has an established industry for producing ethanol and is the leading producer and exporter of fuel ethanol. My purpose with this paper is to investigate why Brazil decided to develop ethanol production on a large-scale operation and to find out today?s situation. Focus will mainly be on ethanol production with sugarcane as a feedstock.

The European history of bath has its roots in the Greek culture about 2500 years ago. In every Greek town was situated at least one center of culture, a gymnasium, that contained bath establishements, areas for physical training, restaurants, librarys and readingrooms. Already 400 B.C. Hippokrates, founder of the art of healing, spoke for the waters important qualities in medical treatements. After the Greeks the Romans overtook and maintained the polished manners of bathing, and thanks to them the culture spread to the north of Europe. During the middleages the art of swimming was well respected among soldiers and knights, and was frequently practised in tournament games and competitions. At the same time the bathhouses were developed in the towns of Europe.

Background: The design industry is relatively immature in Sweden but large on the international market, where companies have used services from industrial design firms for a long time. Companies incresignly realise that design is an efficient mean to gain competitive advantages on the market. Several design companies fancy growth and to receive a wider market share to expand on the international market. One of them is Design Communicaton who has made a couple of acquisitions, to receive wider comptences and to cover different segments. That has lead to an increased brand portfolio with different subbrands, which can be complicated to handle efficiently in the internal and external communication.

Accessibility is today a topic of high current interest. It is a requirement for equality and a democracy question. By the year 2010, easy measured hindrances in all of Sweden's municipalities should be cleared away; this is stated in Swedish law. The physical accessibility to our public places is particularly important for functionally disabled people since it affects their possibilities to be outdoors and also their participation in society. When designing these places, it is difficult to find solutions that fit everybody, especially since good accessibility not only should fulfill all physical requirements of accessibility but also values of experience.

Vi säger att du äger ett företag som i sin tur har ett dotterbolag. Företaget tillverkar cykelhjälmar. Låt säga att det arbetar 10 personer i dotterbolaget, bolaget köptes en gång upp för att det besatt kunskap om hur man tillverkar säkra cykelhjälmar. Då dåliga tider varar tvingas ditt företag sälja dotterbolaget. Dotterbolaget som det senaste gått dåligt värderas i synnerhet efter den kunskap de besitter, det vill säga den personliga kompetens som det 10 arbetande besitter och det system och tekniker som används för att framställa dessa supersäkra hjälmar.

Competing is a well established work model among Swedisharchitects as well as in the international architect work force.Through this study we set out to get better acquainted with thiswork model in theory and in practice, and to hopefully gainknowledge that will be of use to us and to others working in thefield of architecture.Techniques, materials as well as the artistic expression ofcontemporary architecture is international and today?s architectsoperate on a global labour market. Architects often commit to workon assignments far away from where they are based. Therefore,to physically visit the site of interest may be time consuming,expensive as well as harmful to the environment. Is it possible fora designer to accomplish relevant proposals on how to develop andimprove a place that he or she has never visited? May there evenbe situations in which the outsiders point of view is preferable?These are questions that we aim to investigate, and we do sothrough participation in an international design competition.
