Saab Aerosystems has a long tradition and a lot of competence in the field of flight simulation. Their ambition to broaden the market horizon has led to a discussion about also selling vehicle simulation solutions, both for military and civilian use.The aim of this thesis is to investigate the driver?s experiences of the accelerations he or she is exposed to whilst driving in rough terrain. The results may be used as a basis for future decisions and can act as a platform for the construction of an effective simulation model.To investigate the driver?s exposure of acceleration, some kind of dynamic simulation is needed.

ABSTRACTSince Robert D. Putnam first wrote about the causes behind the regional differences in economic and political development in Italy, the theory of social capital has truly flourished in the fields of social science. This days you constantly hear politicians and scholars stressing the important role of the quality of the social fabric to a society?s wellbeing. There all looking at ways to construct policies and institutions that help the spread of social capital.

Syftet med vår studie är att ta reda på vilka privata angelägenheter arbetstagare inom stand-by-yrken utför under arbetstid, varför de gör det, attityden gentemot privata angelägenheter på arbetsplatsen samt om utförandet av dessa kan kopplas till att arbetstagarna är missnöjda med arbetsgivaren och sin arbetssituation. Den forskning som tidigare gjorts har främst undersökt vilka privata angelägenheter anställda i kontorsmiljöer utför under arbetstid. Vi önskar därför med denna uppsats att bidra till att bredda forskningen på ett hittills inte så utforskat område, nämligen inom stand-by-yrken.Begreppet stand-by-yrke är en egenhändigt utformad teoretisk term som beskriver yrken där vi har en föreställning om att den anställde kan ha mycket ?dötid? under sitt arbetspass. Med ?dötid? menar vi den tid under ett arbetspass där arbetstagaren varken utför sina huvud- eller bisysslor.

Friidrotten upplever ett problem när unga lovande elitjuniorer slutar med sin idrott innan de har hunnit ta steget över till senioridrott. Den här studien fokuserar på vad det är för brytpunkter som påverkat att idrottarna valt att avsluta sin elitsatsning. För att få en djupare förståelse har även fokus legat på vad som var meningsskapande både under och efter elitsatsningen. Syftet var att belysa före detta elitjuniorers upplevelser kring deras övergång från elitjunior till ett liv utanför en elitsatsning inom friidrott. Den teoretiska referensramen utgick från teorin om en Känsla av sammanhang samt Careershipteorin.

The aim of this dissertation is to examine why smaller municipalities[1] in Sweden experience difficulties when implementing the 16 environmental objectives that are designed to solve Sweden's environmental problems.The theoretical framework used for this dissertation is implementation theory which provides three conditions that need to be met in order to have a successful implementation.  These three conditions have shaped the research questions that examine if Torsby municipality has the "understanding," "ability" and "will" needed to implement the decision correctly.  The dissertation employs a case study method to examine why Torsby municipality has experienced difficulties implementating the target: programmes and strategies for planning, which is an interim target to environmental objective number 15: A good built environment.  Qualitative text analysis and interviews with politicians and civil servants from Torsby municipality and the county administration board of Värmland have been conducted in order to answer the research questions.   The material used for this dissertation is mostly from the government bills that are the foundation of the Swedish environmental policy and the documents and reports about the environmental objectives that the National Board of Housing, Building and Planning (Boverket), the Swedish Environmental protection agency (Naturvårdsverket), and the Environmental objectives council (Miljörådet) have released.The result of this dissertation supports previous research which has shown that smaller municipalities have problems implementating the environmental objectives due to a lack of financial resources. This dissertation also shows that the problems can be due to a lack of understanding the purpose of the objectives.  This leads to a lack of political will to implement the objectives.  Since the municipalities do not have the political will to implement the objectives the appropriate resources needed for a successful implementation are not appointed and therefore the municipalities are not able to fully implement the environmental objectives. [1] Municipalities with less than 20 000 inhabitants..

Three years after the Bosman case, it was decided that a socio-cultural approach on sports be introduced in Europe. EU presented a formulation for the same purpose ? The European Model of Sport. The purpose of this formula was to maintain the socio-culture and traditional ap¬proach to all kinds of amateur and professional sports in Europe. If we were to com¬pare this model with the American model of sport, it shows many different ways of thinking in terms of organised sport.

This article seeks to re-imagine the Alandish hembygdsrätt to a regional citizenship. Hembygdsrätt is a judicial tool that regulates acquisition of property and voting rights. Its a central part of the autonomy as it constitutes a social-border between Finns and Alanders.However as Åland and Finland became members of the European Union questions arouse concerning the legitimacy of the current statues. The community argued that it could be considered as a breach of the anti-discrimination principle. Therefore Alandish autonomy was recognized as an exception in the joint-accession treaty of Finland and Åland.

The main objective in this study is to examine the pupil?s possibility to affect the upper secondary schools in Stockholm, Sweden. I was once active in the pupil?s council and experienced some hardships, feeling a great dissatisfaction among teachers and principals against pupil?s suggestions and chances to affect their school environment. Thus I wanted to do a contemporary study of where schools in Stockholm stand today within this issue.

Cultural heritages are environments created by humans that are considered to have a conservation value for the posterity. They can be seen as one of society's non renewable resources. It is important to have knowledge of how cultural heritages are affected by future climate changes.The water flow in Uppsala is estimated to increase during winter and decrease during spring and summer. Precipitation will gradually increase as well as the intense short period precipitation. The average temperature is estimated to increase as well.

Samtida humanitära kriser och väpnade konflikter har blivit alltmer komplexa till sin art, med nya krav om multifunktionella och samordnade insatser. När humanitära och militära aktörer samexisterar i områden med överlappande intressesfärer uppstår ett problem. De humanitära aktörernas verklighetsuppfattning skiljer sig i förhållande till de militära aktörernas, vilket inverkar negativt på humanitär-militär samverkan. Tidigare förklaringsmodeller visar att avhållsamheten från de humanitära aktörerna att samverka med militären till stor del grundas på hårda faktorer som bl.a. ängslan för den humanitära personalens säkerhet.Med stöd av socialkonstruktionism och social identitetsteori har författaren undersökt mjuka faktorer, vilka kan visa på andra förklaringsmodeller till samarbetssvårigheterna.

In 1972 the regulations on tax surcharge were introduced. In the new system the sur-charge are imposed by the Tax Authority (skatteverket) and not the Court. Since 1995 the European Convention on Human Rights constitute law in Sweden, which means that Sweden is forced to guarantee its citizens the human rights in the Convention. Article 6 in the Convention states that everyone, in the determination of his civil rights and obligations or of any criminal charge against him, is entitled to a fair hea-ring within reasonable time. The Article also expresses the right for anyone charged with a criminal offence to be presumed innocent until proved guilty according to law (the presumtion of innocence).

Denna uppsats är en diskursanalys över så kallade ?pappa-böcker?, böcker skrivna av män om att bli och vara pappa. Syftet är att studera vilket budskap dessa böcker förmedlar och hur männen framställer sitt faderskap. Syftet är även att studera hur budskapet förhåller sig till den sociala kontexten texterna befinner sig inom. Den sociala kontexten är skapad utifrån en litteraturstudie av tidigare forskning.Studiens teoretiska infallsvinklar har varit det socialkonstruktionistiska perspektivet i allmänhet och maskulinitetsteorier i synnerhet.

Under första hälften av 2000-talet blev det aktuellt för svenska flygvapnet att öva för att utföraflygunderstöd till markförband, bl.a. genom skapande av ett s.k. ?accelerationsspår CAS?. Det harframkommit att utförande av CAS i den konflikt som för närvarande pågår i Afghanistan har tidvishaft svårt att förhålla sig till folkrätten på ett positivt sätt.

Historical research about the so-called New Left was until the late 1990s an entirely newacademic field in Swedish academia. However, a large part of this research still deals withquestions concerning ?who did what? and perhaps more notably ?who was right?.This thesis is an attempt to move away from such inquiries and instead look towardshow one albeit small but very important part of this so-called New Left discussed andused the term America and things American. Formed largely around the Anti-WarMovement, the Marxist-Leninist ? or ?Maoist? ? Left naturally opposed US worldpolicies; but perhaps more interesting a significant part of the ideas about America andthe Vietnam War seemed to stem from USA itself ? such as naming your anti-war folkgroup ?Freedom Singers? after the US civil rights group ?The Freedom Singers?.Analyzing three Swedish Marxist-Leninist magazines the study thus complements theresearch on not only the Swedish New Left but also the study of anti-Americanisms;firstly, by examining what the Marxist-Leninist left considered particularly American;secondly, by studying in what context these particular Americanism was discussed; and,thirdly, by observing if these notions changed over time, and why.

Detta är en kapacitets- och känslighetsanalys av bagagehanteringssystem vid Arlanda flygplats.
