A need for a revitalization combined with an effort to enter History as an active subject, created constructivist project of a narrative style.My study relies on contemporary literature, focusing mainly on the construction of Nordic identity and regional cooperation in the 1990: s.I argue that Nordic identity was, and still is, determined of its comparable weakness in regard to the superpowers of the cold war, and, nowadays, to the EU.The architects of establishing a new Nordic identity, able to challenge a new Europe, fails in their effort, and what is left of their endeavour are separate states, each following their own agenda..
Geografil?rarens didaktiska verktygsl?da - relationen till erfarenheter & traditioner En kvalitativ studie om undervisning i skol?mnet geografi
Geography, derived from the Greek meaning "the study of the Earth," is a discipline with
strong traditions and a rich history. Throughout different historical periods and intellectual
movements, however, the focus of the subject has shifted between physical geography and
human geography, influenced by scientists, philosophers, and various thinkers who have
proposed differing perspectives on what the subject should represent (Couper, 2015). Due to
the impact of these actors, geography education in today's Swedish school system is of an
interdisciplinary nature, blending elements of both physical and human geography, with
components such as environmental issues, sustainable development, digital learning, and
fieldwork. However, this task is more complex than it may initially appear. The subject is
shaped by various traditions, including national curricula, institutional customs, and the
geographical perspectives held by individual teachers.
Framtidens lagefterlevnadsverktyg hos små och medelstora företag : en behovsanalys
This thesis aims to investigate what requirements companies have in order to achieve a successful legislative compliance control. The implementation of an environmental management system can help the company to structure their business and succeed with their environmental legislative compliance.Both small and medium sized businesses perceive that it is difficult and time consuming because the legislation can be difficult to interpret if you do not have the required knowledge. There are many companies that hire help in the form of consultants who audit their compliance, but this leads to a risk that the company will be exposed when the knowledge does not remain in the company if the consultant would cancel the cooperation. There are not so many tools today for businesses to obtain good legal compliance. The methods used are usually checklists included in the control program, and it costs a lot of resources to do everything needed.This study strives to deliver the expressed needs of the businesses.

IT, mat och miljö
Shopping for groceries often means that, as consumers, we travel to the grocery store ourselves, by ear, bike or on foot. At the store we pick out the groceries that we want, go the register and pay for them. During the last couple of years consumers in Sweden have been given the opportunity to let someone else select and transport the groceries to their home instead, so called home shopping. As this report is being written, the possibility to buy groceries this way is somewhat limited, but many forecasters believe that in the near future it will increase immensely. Because of the large volumes of groceries that are being transported, there is great transport work being done in the supply chain.
