A possible way to reduce pollution and slow down the process of global warming is to increase the usage of renewable energy sources. One of these renewable energy sources is solar power. With the aid of solar panels and solar cells the energy from the sun can be transformed into both heating and electricity. The requirement to use the sun in this fashion is a suitable surface, for example a big roof, an angle between 40-60 degrees and that the surface should be exposed to the south. Almost every farm meets these requirements.

Undersysselsättning eller ofrivillig deltidsarbetslöshet är vanligt förekommande på arbetsmarknaden i Sverige idag. Liksom deltidsarbete domineras även ofrivillig deltidsarbetslöshet av kvinnor. Men även män är både deltidssysselsatta och ofrivilligt deltidsarbetslösa. Syfte med den här uppsatsen är att undersöka vilka grupper som är ofrivilligt deltidsarbetslösa samt hur fenomenet påverkas av arbetslöshetsersättningen. Data som används i uppsatsen är från Statistiska centralbyråns arbetskraftsundersökningar samt statistik från Arbetsmarknadsverket.

The purpose of this report is to compile and examine the cost of renovation of moisture-damaged bathrooms, to derive a target price. The target price can then be used by insurance companies to estimate the ultimate cost of future bathroom renovations.       The method is based on the compilation and comparison of the cost of repairs of previous water damage in bathrooms. The calculations compiled based on repair estimates for different insurance losses from one of the leading insurance companies in Sweden.       The result shows the average price per square meter of floor area for different sizes of bathrooms. The average price is the basis for the estimate of future renovation costs of bathrooms. The results further show that the bathroom finishes, area and the distance between the entrepreneur and the location of the renovation have great impact on the final repairing cost.

FYROM has a long tradition of producing wine. Wine production in FYROM is one of the greatest contributors of the agricultural share of their GDP. The aim of the thesis is to see if the wine production in FYROM has a comparative advantage compared to other countries that produce wine and if FYROM is able to sustain the advantage in the future. The countries chosen for comparison are Bulgaria, Croatia, France and Italy. The methods used in the thesis are the Balassa Index and Porter?s Diamond of National Advantage.

This thesis aims to study the effects of the infrastructure project Västlänken in Gothenburg, a rail tunnel to be built through the city center. The study focuses on the community of Haga where one of the three exits will be constructed and also the surrounding urban environment, to see if the project can be sustainable. Sustainable urban development was selected as the theory, and the term "sustainable" is defined in this study using a number of criteria that two scientists developed. The criteria include economic, ecological and social perspectives on how a place or a geographical area can meet today's needs as well as possible needs in the future. The methods used were semi-structured interviews and content analysis of government documents. Interviews were conducted with various institutions in the city, and companies involved in the planning of the project in Gothenburg.

Communication during the process of Environmental Impact Assessment: Interviews concerning three infrastructure projects Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a method to describe the possible impact of a planned project. The aim of such an assessment is to aid a sustainable development, by supplying a comprehensive basis for decision-making. Today there are many people working with EIA in different forms, representing both different interests within the community, as well as having different individual points of view. The proponent is responsible for the EIA, but it is of interest to study the relationship between the different participants who are involved in this process. The aim of this report is to study how the different disciplines involved have communicated with each other and amongst themselves, what characterises good communication, and if anything should be improved.

The aim of this study is to illuminate social worker?s perception of social class within the Swedish social service system.

Campylopus introflexus is a moss species that originates from the southern hemisphere and has spread worldwide during the 20th century. Today it is classified as an invasive alien species in many countries, and it has been seen during inventories that it has become widespread in Sweden as well. The purpose of this essay is to contribute to new knowledge about how this moss affects species diversity on Calluna heathlands in Sweden. The study includes both fieldwork and an analysis of scientific literature on the subject, and the question that is answered is if C. introflexus has an impact on species richness in the heather peat.

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka vilka effekter reglerna inom tillväxt- och stabilitetspakten skulle ha haft på BNP. Uppsatsen ger även kort historik och en genomgång av lagstiftningen som omgärdar stabilitetspakten. Den regel som undersöks är 3 %-regeln som säger att medlemsländerna inom EMU inte får ha ett budgetunderskott på mer än 3 procent. Uppsatsen utgår från en reducerad AS/AD modell där finanspolitik är en av variablerna som orsakar skift i aggregerad efterfrågan. Den metod som används är en så kallad VAR-modell där två regressioner skattas, en för BNP-gapet och en för årliga inflationsförändringen.

Den här uppsatsen undersöker den dubbla roll som fossila bränslen spelar i ekonomin. Fossil energi är en viktig del av produktionen och påverkar därmed inkomstnivåerna i positiv riktning. Samtidigt ger den upphov till koldioxidutsläpp som kan påverka klimatet och ge upphov till extrema väderfenomen, stigande havsnivåer, ökad migration och konflikt, vilka så småningom kan orsaka stora externa kostnader. Frågeställningen är:? Hur påverkas ekonomin av koldioxidutsläppande fossila bränslen, beroende på om externa miljökostnader inkluderas eller exkluderas ur analysen?För att besvara denna, utvecklas Solowmodellen med naturresurser så att de fossila bränslenas externa kostnader synliggörs i ökande deprecieringstakter.

During the second part of the 20th Century celebrities became more commonly used for commercial purposes as they could enhance purchase intentions, word-of-mouth- intentions and change attitudes towards brands and products. Over the last few years blogs and bloggers have become more and more used for product placing and the bloggers? power over consumers? behaviour has grown rapidly. The aim of this study is to compare a celebrity?s and a blogger?s impact on consumer behaviour and try to understand the underlying reasons why they do have such power over their audiences.

During the cultivation season there are a several cropping activities to carry out. At what time these activities are carried out is affecting the result and also on the economy of the crop production. As the production costs are high in potato production, it is important to keep an eye on the economy. Profitability is the most important factor in most crop production systems. If the costs are not covered, it is difficult to justify the production.
