Abstract Title: Ethanol for Scania?s future ? A scenario based analysis Authors: Anna Hansson and Julia Persson Tutors: Annette Cerne ? Department of Business Administration, Lund University Jonas Holmborn ? Head of Advanced Combustion, Engine Development, Scania Lennart Thörnqvist ? Department of Energy Sciences, Faculty of Engineering, Lund University Problem: Oil-based products are the dominating fuels in the transport sector but alternative fuels are currently challenging the world-wide dominance. The large number of alternative fuels that are under development at present makes the future fuel-market impossible to predict. Scania?s ethanol project is associated with a number of uncertainty factors that are beyond the company?s control.

AimThe aim of this study is to discuss process orientated education by identifying and describing general elements in two alternative pedagogies that in different ways attempt to separate themselves from the didactics in the traditional school. The questions are:1. How do the general elements for example the pupil, the knowledge and the lesson, in classroom education appear at a Waldorf and a Freinet school respectively?2. How do the general elements for example the teacher, the lesson planning and the overall goal, that teachers obey to and create in their lesson?s planning appear at the two schools respectively?MethodThe study is based on four days of observations in one ninth grade class at a Freinet school and a corresponding amount of time in one eighth grade class and one ninth grade class at a Waldorf school.

The aim of this thesis is to examine the relationship between user education at high schools and the context in which it takes place. In order to accomplish this qualitative interviews have been executed with librarians at five Swedish high schools. The theoretical framework of this thesis is based on the sociocultural perspective and four approaches to user education developed by Olof Sundin. Based on the empirical material six themes have been identified. Each one represents a contextual factor which influences the user education.

Soundscape design handlar om att aktivt planera och gestalta ljudmiljöer i våra städer, men också i våra rurala rekreationsområden. När ljud diskuteras bland politiker och tjänstemän är det oftast i negativa ordalag; ljuden måste stängas ute, ljudnivån måste sänkas. Ordet ljud byts ut mot ordet buller och blir en förorening som människor måste skyddas ifrån; likt en anstormande fiende stängs det ute med vallar, plank och murar. Ovanstående lösning är otillfredsställande, och behandlar inte problemet vid dess källa. Den moderna staden, med dess dominerande ljudkälla fordonstrafiken, ljuder högt och oavbrutet. I decennier har forskare hävdat att människan successivt har slutat att lyssna på detta monotona och ointressanta trafikbrus, och vår hörsel har blivit underprioriterad våra andra sinnen. Hur ska vi då behandla problemet vid dess källa? Ljudnivån är hög i dagens städer, och effekterna som en hög ljudnivå kan ha på människor är bevisad och ska inte förringas.

Hur planerar man förtätning av städer där grönytor väljs ut för ny exploatering? Det är vad arbetet i huvudsak vill ha svar på. Städerna vill både expandera och integreras i ett urbant liv och samtidigt ha tillgång till mycket grönt. Det urbana står för den täta staden med sociala möten, kommunikationer och service etc. medans det gröna står för friytor, grönområden och grönska i städerna. Ronneby är en kommun likt många kommuner som har den här problematiken mellan urbanitet och natur.

Förändringar pågår ständigt i samhället och är beroende av många olika processer. Så är även fallet längs kusten, vilket avspeglar sig bl a i bebyggelsen och nyttjandet av landskapet. Under början av 1900-talet blev kusten ett alltmer attraktivt rekreationsområde och stora områden togs i anspråk för fritidsbebyggelse. Idag är bilden en annan och kustzonen har blivit allt mer attraktiv som permanentbostadsort. Detta ställer nya krav på både miljön och bebyggelsen i kustlandskapet.

The main part of this work is focused on the era called ?The Folk Music Vogue?, which was the era when my informants were in the limelight on the Swedish fiddler scene of the 70s.Our music culture is constantly lying under the change of progress and I find it interesting to reflect how these kinds of changes are affecting the role of the musician.In this essay I am reflecting on the different perspectives of the musicianship according to my informants and how they both are referring to their role as musicians. The purpose is further on to see how they have been relating to the change of progress on the field of the Swedish folk music during the 70s and up to this date.

Recent years there has been discussed how the critical situation in the housing market threatens the Stockholm region's growth. The thesis objective is to examine whether there is a scientific link between the lack of housing supply and growth. The thesis also intends to identify solutions for increased housing construction, for instance by examining the conditions for a greater regional perspective and influence on the region's housing supply. The thesis empirical study is based on semi-structured interviews with representatives from the Government, municipalities and the housing industry.In Sweden, research on the relationship between housing shortages and growth has not been conducted to that extent it can be said to exist scientific evidence regarding the growth threat. However, in Britain and the U.S, empirical studies show that a lack of housing supply has hindered growth through negative impact on countries' gross domestic product.

Datorspelsbranschen är en relativt ung bransch, både jämfört med andra delarav mjukvaruindustrin och nöjesbranschen. En av de stora utmaningarnaspelutvecklare står inför är planeringen av den långsiktiga kompetensförsörjningen.Dock saknas sammanställda historiska data och applicerbararesursestimeringsmetoder, vilket gör detta arbete näst intill omöjligt. Det förstadelmålet med den här studien är att samla in historiska data angående strukturenoch storleken på utvecklingsteam som utvecklat AAA-spel (professionelltutvecklade spel med en hög budget) för pc-datorer.

Due to the growing population in Stockholm, some of the urban green areas are beingsubjected to exploitation. Hammarbyskogen is an urban forest in the south of Stockholm andis an example of a green area that is planned to be transformed into an urban environment.This paper investigates key qualities and values of an urban forest of Hammarbyskogenvalued by local inhabitants of the neighbourhoods of Hammarbyhöjden and Björkhagen in thesouth of Stockholm. In addition to that, the study seeks to investigate people?s perception ofthe planned development of the forest as well as investigate how these perceptions andqualities are being incorporated into the process of neighbourhood development.Using text analysis, interviews and discussion forums, findings have been made showing thatthe local inhabitants value the urban forest mostly for its ecological and recreational qualities.Regarding perception of the change, people are either positive or negative to the developmentwhich can be explained by people?s experienced sense of place and place attachment of thearea and the forest itself. The study has also shown that the urban planners rely on localinhabitants? view, as well as on expert knowledge during the process of planning.The results of the study contributes to a better understanding of why and for what purposesurban forests are important for the city dwellers..
