A clean and affordable energy source for cooking is deficient in developing countries. People rely on fuels that contribute to environmental, social and health problems.Biogas is an alternative energy source and an increased investment in small-scale biogas production can in several developing countries be found. Several projects have started to use the technology in developing countries because of the benefits with biogas. Some cases in the establishment of biogas plants have succeeded and some have not. The study is a literature review supplemented by two field studies.

Executive SummaryThis final thesis has examined the effects of an increased centralization and better coord­in­ation of the distribution logistics at ABB in Västerås. The company is today strongly decent­ralized and there is a minimum of collaboration between the 20 business units. This is why the questions were raised; how could the business units coordinate outbound logistic activities and what effects would that provide. The obj­ect­ive of this final thesis is to provide basic data for a future decision-making which desc­r­ibe these effects.The report has mapped out the factors that are important to ABB in an evaluation of their logistic activities and how the outbound logistics work today. The four factors are cost efficiency, delivery service, environmental impact and logistics capability.

The cost of forwarding corresponds to about one tenth of the forestry industries raw material cost. This gives a motive to do good follow-ups to get a good overview of the forwarding distance and, thus, enable improvements. Follow-ups are also justified by the possibility to make more accurate calculations of the harvesting costs, if better estimations of forwarding distance are achieved. Today (2009) Stora Enso has GPS and vehicle-computers in most of their forwarders. These are used mainly for the forwarder to follow the tracks of the harvester and for the planning leader to see how the forwarder has been driving within the stand.

Detta examensarbete har haft som syfte att i enlighet med god informationsdesign skapa ett förslag till en målgruppsanpassad webbplats åt Coffeehouse i Eskilstuna. Genom enkätundersökningar, intervjuer och analyser har jag tagit reda på hur målgruppen ser ut samt vilket informationsbehov de har..

Hästens roll i samhället har förändrats, från att vara ett arbetsredskap i strid eller i det dagliga arbetet, till ett fritidsintresse som får ta allt större plats. Samtidigt är strävan mot ett hållbart samhälle med ekologi och miljö som nyckelord en viktig del. Hästen kan då anta en nygammal roll som redskap för att uppfylla kriterierna som ett miljövänligt arbetsdjur. I Sverige finns fortfarande kunskaper för att använda arbetshästar, dessa kunskaper kan förvaltas, utvecklas och utnyttjas i mer än uppvisningssyfte.I studien undersöks hästen som arbetsredskap i parkmiljöer ur miljö- ekonomi- och brukarperspektiv. Som metoder har litteraturstudie, intervjuer och en Cost-Benefit-analys använts.

 Syftet med min undersökning var att ta reda på vilken typ av underlag som används i förskolors och skolors utvärderings- och analysarbete och se i vilken utsträckning det arbetet är kopplat till det utvecklingsarbete enheten väljer att fokusera på. Jag ville också veta i vilken utsträckning det är förskolechef/rektor som beslutar om utvecklingsområde, om de upplever att det är huvudmannen som gör det eller om det sker ett samarbete.    Enkätundersökningen genomfördes i två grupper från rektorsutbildningen på Karlstads universitet.   Mitt resultat visar att det i verksamheter som har nationella prov och betyg så blir detta en stor del av underlaget, både för enheten och huvudmannen. I förskolan används till största del intervjuer och personalens självvärderingar. Det som i högst grad ligger till grund för valet av utvecklingsarbete är nya bestämmelser från riksdag och regering och huvudmannens prioriteringar, inte de egna analyserna.

This master?s degree project concerns the combination of a multi dwelling passive house with solar energy for the generation of electricity and domestic hot water (DHW). Different alternatives with either solar thermal systems or photovoltaic (PV) systems are compared with two reference alternatives producing DHW from electricity or district heating. The economical comparison uses a life cycle cost (LCC) perspective based on the present value of expenditures for investment, energy and annual operating and maintenance.The energy yields from the solar energy systems were calculated by hand and with simulation software. Calculation and dimensioning of PV systems were carried out with a software called PVSYST.

Background: In 1994 came the general prescription law in force for the district nurses with specific training in pharmacology and pathology in Sweden. According to The National Board of Health and Welfare from 2004 follow-up of the use of the prescription law revealed that nearly half of the district nurses used their prescription once a week. According to previous research the district nurses and patients were positive to the district nurses administration of prescriptions. Doctors, contrariwise, were not as favorable to the district nurses administration of prescriptions. The responsibility of the heads of the health centers is to promote the district nurses to prescribe and make sure that it works in a satisfactory manner.

Syfte: Att med utgångspunkt i artiklarna 3 och 4 i FN:s konvention om urfolk och lokala samhällens rättigheter och artikel 8j i konventionen om biologisk mångfald undersöka samers nyttjanderätt till privategendom. Artiklarna väcker en rad intressanta frågeställningar. Jag kommer koncentrera mig på att diskutera självbestämmandet och ägandets legitimitet utifrån ett kollektivistiskt och ett individualistiskt perspektiv. De perspektiven står samhällsfilosoferna Karl Marx och Robert Nozick för. Jag kommer även undersöka ägande som rättighet, dels utifrån ovanstående men även utifrån Wesley Hohfeld och Onora O?Neills rättighetsteorier och analyser.

Swedish agriculture stands in front of big changes the whole time. As a milking producer you have to adapt and develop the company to these changes and find the best solution. This potential is easy to find if you compare your company with other similar companies. Labour cost is the biggest cost in milking production after the cost for food. Today it is rather easy to measure how many hours per cow different system of cow houses needs, but we do not know so much about how many hours it takes to breed a calf. To learn more about the labour time with the calves during the first time after the calf was born, I made time studies on five different farms with calf hutches, automatic milk system, large calf boxes, and smaller calf boxes with teat buckets.
