Within the political science literature that deals with the implementation process a central part has long been what is sometimes called the implementation deficit. This means that the effect of a policy decision doesn´t turn out as it was originally intended. The often used explanation is that the policy decisions moves through many levels during its implementation where different actors can change or alter the decision in various degrees. This phenomenon has gradually become more and more attended within the legislative process in the European Union and has been addressed in numerous studies. The purpose of this paper is to examine the implementation of The Habitats Directive, as its embodied in regulatory documents, in the Swedish multi-level system.

Rapporten beskriver en undersökning om de olika renoveringsåtgärder som typiskt behöver utföras för bostadshus byggda under miljonprogrammet. Studien utgår från ett flerbostadshus som byggdes under 1968-1969 och som ligger i Norrliden i kvarteret Graniten, Kalmar. Undersökningen fokuserar på energianvändning, energieffektivisering, tillgänglighet och kommunikation med hyresgäster under renoveringen. Dessa ämnen behandlas utifrån två perspektiv; dels genom beskrivning av det pågående projektet i bostadshusen i Graniten och dels genom teorier beskrivna i litteraturen. .

VLL (Västerbottens läns landsting) genomför just nu en process där de ser över sina fastigheter på NUS (Norrlands Universitets Sjukhus) med fokus på dess framtida utveckling och behov. Ett steg i den processen är att undersöka sitt nuvarande fastighetsbestånd och se om det redan där finns utvecklingsmöjligheter innan det kan bli behov av att expandera området. Detta projekt ingår som en del i denna undersökning och innefattar en utredning av en eventuell påbyggnad av en byggnad med två parallella huskroppar 10A och 10B, som idag består av tre verksamma plan med en gemensam källare. Studien förutsätter att det är statiskt möjligt att bygga på de aktuella byggnadsdelarna. Därför är syftet med detta projekt främst att se om det är praktiskt möjligt att genomföra en påbyggnad med avseende på en intilliggande helikopterplatta, den pågående verksamheten och en fungerande APD-plan där fokus ligger på kranplacering.

Det var under 1920-talet som budgetering började användas som ett verktyg för att styra kostnader och kassaflöden. Budgeten började användas för att planera och samordna verksamheter och senare blev strategisk planering vanligt. Budgeten används som en plan för inkomster och utgifter under en viss tid. En plan upprättas för att skapa mål och handlingsvägar. Strategin och budgetprocessen utför tillsammans grunden för att besluta om vilka mål som är realistiska och hur de målen skall uppnås.Politikerna ställer idag krav på de myndigheter som de ansvarar för.

A well, situated on Listerlandet in the western part of Blekinge in Sweden, has a very high content of nitrate. Water with a too high content of nitrate is hazardous to human health, in particular to small children. The area surrounding the well is mostly drained agricultural land with some larger farms for chicken and mink. The well takes its water from the bedrock and is deeper than most other wells affected by nitrate. The bedrock in the area is dominated by limestone with a relatively high flow of water.This thesis was performed in order to find the source of the nitrate.

Since year 2005 the accounting has changed for public companies because of the new international standards, IFRS. IFRS 3 provides a single international accounting treatment for acquisitions and has broadened the definition of intangible assets. By IFRS 3 goodwill is defined as the excess of the cost of acquisition and is separated from intangible assets. Now goodwill must be annually tested by an impairment test. There are many valuation issues to considerate when it comes to deciding the value of goodwill.

During its lifetime, a road goes through a number of different stages; pre-study,inquiry of the road, work plan, documenting stage, building stage and operatingstage. The operating stage is the one that takes the longest time and costs themost. Those have a tendency of becoming unnecessarily high because the projectengineers don?t always take the management and maintenance prerequisites intoconditions.To decrease the management and maintenance costs, the Swedish RoadAdministration SouthEast has been in need of a work procedure that makes theroaddesign engineers take the management and maintenance of the road intoconsideration. This shall be achieved by a checklist where the most commondesigns that lead to increased management- and maintenance costs are compiledand listed.Through interviews with project leaders in management, the most commonproblems have been identified, analyzed and summarized under the headlineswinter-road, vegetation, road equipment and road designs.To elucidate the problem from several points of view, interviews wereimplemented with project leaders in investment and roaddesign engineers.

Denna studie kommer sig av författarens nyfikenhet på hur drömgrupper med Ullmans metod kan vara till användning för psykoterapeuter för personlig del samt hur det kan vara till hjälp att använda drömmar i den psykoterapeutiska processen i klientarbetet.Det finns mycket skrivet om drömmar och hur drömmar kan tolkas, men hur man kan få en praktisk träning och egna erfarenheter till detta har varit svårare att hitta litteratur kring. Det har visat sig att det är relativt sällsynt att drömmar används. Många gånger på grund av att psykoterapeuterna inte själva har erfarenheter att utforska drömmen. Syftet med studien var att ta reda på vad drömgruppsarbetet betytt för tre erfarna psykoterapeuter på ett personligt och ett professionellt plan.Den metod som valdes var kvalitativ metod där författaren intervjuat tre psykoterapeuter om deras erfarenheter av drömgruppsarbete och vad de uppfattat att det inneburit för dem. Intervjuerna har analyserats genom kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Av analysen framkommer att alla tre använts sig av drömmar kontinuerligt. De upplevde att de genom drömgruppsarbetet fått en metod att på ett strukturerat sätt intressera sig för klienters drömmar.
