This thesis was commissioned by Tekniska verken, Energy Division with the overall aim to investigate the concept of environmental debt and what it means for a business. Furthermore, a sustainable risk and responsibility investigation shall be carried out on the concerned areas. Finally, the priority areas shall be highlighted and proposed actions presented. The Swedish Environmental debt concept was presented in 1992 by Arne Jarnelöv. Environmental debt is defined as restoration costs for environmental damage. In the early days the concept did not take into account who was responsible, but the environmental debts was regarded as a humanity debt to future generations.

Drinking water is produced from raw water and is either from groundwater or surface water. This thesis aims to find out if the cleaning process of raw water is sufficiently effective. This is important because consumers are otherwise at risk of waterborne infection caused by pathogens. There are three groups of pathogens; bacteria, virus and parasite. These have different characteristics which mean that they require different water treatment to be separated.

During 2009-2010 Sweden participated in an international military operation whose intention, according to the Swedish news media, was to fight Somali pirates. The purpose of this thesis is to study various decisions and documents behind the Swedish efforts, both military and foreign aid, regarding the matter of Somali pirates during the years 2009-2010 and analyze the results using an interpretation of the security-development-nexus-theory. The method used is text analysis based on the hermeneutic idea of understanding and interpretation.The thesis studies the international resolutions and national decisions that lead to the military operations in the Gulf of Aden and also the international strategies and national approaches regarding Sweden's assistance in the development of Somalia. The theoretical section contains an interpretation of the vast security-development-nexus-theory. The concepts of security and development are first presented separately and then collectively in terms of military security, societal security, economic security, regime security and human security.

The purpose of this paper was to analyse ?Identity- about trademarks, signs and symbols?. The project was a co-operation between the National museum of Art and Stockholm School of Economics in the spring of 2002, which consisted of an exhibition, a book and a series of seminars. The goal was to illustrate how the trademark had developed through history, which role it has in the modern society and how the trademark serves as a creator of identities. The project, mostly the exhibition, was exposed to criticism, which was directed towards the sponsorship deals between The National Museum of Art and five companies..

Enligt Allied Command Operations (ACO) Comprehensive Operations Planning Directive (COPD) utgör direktivet en gemensam stomme för planering av North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) bidrag till operationer inom ramen för ett Comprehensive approach. Direktivet är avsiktligen detaljrikt för att kunna nyttjas för utbildning. Samtidigt ska det utgöra ett verktyg för erfarna planerare att kunna värdera alla faktorer i komplexa operationer och därigenom ge högkvalitativa operationsplaner på både strategisk och operativ nivå. Framtagandet av ett koncept för ledning är en central del i framtagande av operationens plan. Men för att kunna ta fram ett koncept måste operationens ledningsbehov tas fram.

Bakgrund: Studier visar att patienten, framför allt kvinnor, upplevde sig utlämnade, nervös, ångestfyllda och oroliga inför och under det korta mötet med anestesisjuksköterskan innan operation.Syftet: är att undersöka patientens upplevelse av obehag och delaktighet i mötet med anestesisjuksköterskan inför en nedsövning och om patientens kön har någon betydelse för detta.Metod: En kvantitativ tvärsnittsstudie med ett deskriptivt förhållningssätt där enkät valts som datainsamlingsmetod med totalt 44 respondenter.Resultat: Majoriteten av respondenterna upplevde ingen obehagskänsla inför en anestesi, av de få som upplevde påtaglig med obehag var samtliga kvinnor. Medan en majoritet av respondenter kände sig delaktiga i vårdarbetet inför en nedsövning, var en fjärdedel inte tillfredsställda. En fjärdedel av respondenterna önskade större delaktighet, medan övriga inte ville eller inte visste ifall de ville vara delaktiga. Männen kände sig mindre delaktiga i vårdarbetet än kvinnorna samtidigt som de inte hade en större önskan om att vara delaktiga. Kvinnor däremot kände sig mer delaktiga, än män, och hade dessutom en önskan om att vara delaktiga.

AbstractThe market?s demand to purchase more cost effective products is continuously increasing. The producers are forced to become more efficient and flexible with resources to produce high quality products at a low cost in order to maintain or increase market shares. With this in mind Isaberg Rapid AB is requesting a project to increase efficiency in the assembly cell of hammertackers. The company has found in Kaizen-events that there is a potential of efficiency improvements in the assembly group that has not been achieved.The objective with this paper is to identify the major factors that influence the efficiency in the assembly cell for hammertackers.

The purpose of this paper is to examine how the traditional airlines' strategies are affected by the low-cost carriers emergence and their business model and in wich ways they can achieve profitability. Furthermore we also want to examine the factors that affect the airlines' efficiency and competitiveness.The results of this study shows that the growth of the low-cost carriers have affected the network airlines' strategies as they, among other things, had to also lower their fares. This has forced them to revise their cost and efficiency in their entire operation. The result has also shown that the network companies can not come down to the same level of low costs as the low-cost carriers, and must therefore examine their ability to increase revenues instead. .

Nowadays, cooperation is necessary and this study tries to illuminate the possibilities and problems about cooperation in fiction between 7 small/midsize farms in Skåne. Conventional Farming is done with grain and sugarbeets as specialization. Calculation of machine costs have been done and compared in the study, both for the farms in thorough and the fictitious operation companies. Business ratios as depreciation/ha, interest/ha and maintenance/ha have been calculated. In this essay we present a proposal about how a practical implementation can be done. In the proposal there is an example how the distribution of work can be done.

Polisen är en yrkesgrupp som möts av våld och hot om våld och den nationella bastaktiken är ett av verktygen för att minska skador på såväl polisen som dem som polisen ingriper mot och tredje man. Detta arbetes främsta syfte är att fokusera på inställningsskillnader mellan poliselever och poliser i yttre tjänst till den nationella bastaktiken samt att undersöka om det finns förslag om hur man eventuellt skulle kunna förbättra detta mycket väl genomtänkta och gedigna koncept och då kunna göra polisarbetet än mer säkrare. Arbetet riktar sig främst till dem som redan har kunskaper om den nationella bastaktiken, då endast de fundamentala delarna i stort kommer att beskrivas..

This report details the development of an application for personal safety for the Android operating system. Android is a relatively new platform, primarily used on mobile phones.The purpose of the developed application is to give the user the possibility to easily and quickly alert a number of contacts by phone in case of emergencies, and to show the user?s location on a map. This is not only used during emergencies, but for other purposes as well ? for example to monitor a jogging round.The project was carried out in co-operation with the company D-Safety, the developer of the "SoftAlarm" ? the product on which the developed application is based..

Bröstcancer är den vanligaste cancerformen hos kvinnan, varje år drabbas ca 7000 kvinnor av bröstcancer. Den vanligaste behandlingsmetoden vid bröstcancer idag är kirurgi. Kvinnans kroppsuppfattning förändras efter behandlingen eftersom det finns både ett ärr kvar i själen och på kroppen som alltid påminner om diagnosen bröstcancer.De kvinnor som genomgår en mastektomi har en möjlighet till en plastikkirurgisk bröstrekonstruktion. Tidigare forskning visar att en bröstrekonstruktion kan hjälpa dessa kvinnor att få ett ökad självförtroende och välbefinnande. Sjuksköterskor har ett ansvar att uppmärksamma patientens behov efter en bröstrekonstruktion och har en viktig roll genom att stödja, informera och öka deras livskvalitet vid återhämtningsprocessen efter operation.

Kustbevakningen och polisen är tvåmyndigheter som samverkar med varandra. Denna samverkan är viktig för att kunna övervaka och beivra brott efter kusten. Kustbevakaren har i dag ett flertal befogenheter men saknar bland annat befogenheter när det gäller ordningsstörning och brottsbalksbrott, det är här samverkan är speciellt viktig. I det här fördjupningsarbetet tittar jag närmare på hur samverkan mellan polis och kustbevakning fungerar samt kommer med förslag på hur samverkan kan förbättras. Fördjupningsarbetet bygger främst på interjuver från polis och kustbevakning.
