Global uppvärmning : gymnasieelevers oro och kunskap
Global warming is generally recognized as one of the major environmental challenges we have to face in the near future. The students in school today are the ones that will have to deal with the consequences of it tomorrow. That is why education about it is so important.

Metod för att mäta förändring av city logistik : - En casestudie på Sandvikens kommun
To distribute goods to customers in urban areas is necessary to support the economic and social development in the cities, but has consequences that affect both residents of cities as well as the environment. The environmental effects of these types of transport involves not only the emissions of various pollutants, but also an increased noise level inside the cities. Many companies and organizations are working hard to change the distribution pattern to streamline transport in the urban area, while environmental impact is reduced. This is in line with what is called the City Logistics. The purpose of this thesis is to create a method for describing and measuring a given transport solution in order to compare it with an altered transport solution to achieve a more sustainable development.

Laga läckan: De verkliga effekterna av kreativa mediaval på kort och lång sikt
The media arena is becoming more and more crowded by various brands and different commercial messages. At the same time, consumers learn how to screen marketing communication and their cognitive ad filters enable them to avoid message elaboration. Thus, new thinking and new communication executions are required in order to surprise the consumers and break through the clutter. In the present study, we have investigated how the choice of media affects attention, memory and several communication effects that the ad can generate in the short as well as in the long term. The study is conducted on a well-known brand within a low-involvement product category.
Tre nyanser av grönt : En studie om mötet mellan konstbaserat lärande, natur och miljö
I den här uppsatsen i ämnet bildpedagogik förenas konst, natur och frågan om hållbar utveckling. Uppsatsens utgångspunkt är att miljöfrågor är aktuella i vår tid.

Stegvist införande av miljöledningssystem - en lämplig modell för små och medelstora företag.
Mindre företag upplever ofta en del hinder vid införande av miljölednings-system såsom ISO14001 och EMAS. Standarderna uppfattas som byråkratiska och införandet tar för mycket resurser i anspråk, i form av både tid och pengar. I Storbritannien har en ny standard för miljöledning tagits fram för att bättre passa framförallt mindre företag. Standarden, BS 8555,erbjuder ett stegvist införande av ett miljöledningssystem, med möjlighet att få intyg på vägen mot ISO 14001 eller EMAS. Företagen kan också välja att stanna på en lägre nivå än ISO14001 för en längre period..

Tankefel, vad är oddsen för det - En studie om konjunktionsfel bland konsumenter inom vadhållning på sportspel
Several studies have shown that people misjudge and fail to correctly combine probabilities. An explanation for these tendencies is the conjunction fallacy. Basically, the conjunction fallacy refers to violations of the conjunction rule, which states that the probability of a combination of two independent events (A & B) cannot exceed the probability of neither event (A or B). In connection with the growth of the Swedish gambling market and the fact that betting is an everyday-event containing well-defined probabilities, it is considered to be both up-to-date and relevant to study whether the conjunction fallacy also occurs in betting. Previous studies have shown that people fall victims of the conjunction error, however, only in controlled laboratory settings.
Miljöeffekter av alternativa system för behandling av hushållsavfall i Santiago, Chile : en jämförelse mellan deponering och förbränning med energiutvinning
This report was written by Lisa Bengtson and Hanna Paradis and describes the
degree thesis "Environmental impacts of solid waste treatment in the Metropolitan
Region, Santiago, Chile ? a comparison between current system and incineration
with energy recovery". The purpose of this thesis was to investigate if incineration
with energy recovery could be motivated through an environmental perspective as
an alternative to landfilling of solid waste in Santiago, Chile. The study was
performed with Life Cycle Analysis as a theoretical base.
In Santiago, situated in the thirteenth region of Chile, Región Metropolitana, lives
6,5 million inhabitants. The major part of the solid waste produced in the region is
landfilled on three different sanitary controlled landfills situated outside the city
center.
Stigberoende och spelmatriser : Varför har landstinget i Värmland valt att ansöka om att få gå ihop med Region Västra Götaland?
The aim of this study is to try to explain the process using both an actor driven perspective as well as a structural perspective examining the reasons why the County Council of Värmland wants to merge with Region Västra Götaland. The answers to the following research questions are sought to shed light on the problem: What constrained the discretion of the political actors in the choice of region to merge with? Which role did different political actors play? Does the study provide Game Theory, from Rational Choice theory, and Path Dependency, from Historic Institutionalism, a new perspective and strength especially when bringing them together? The study is limited to two policy areas, health care and regional development policy. The structural background is drawn upon the Annual Report 2008 of the County Council Värmland, the Regional Development Program and Regional Transport Infrastructure Plan 2010-2021 by Region Värmland. The chronological order of decisions and events is drawn upon protocols from various regional political organs all linked to the municipal of Värmland and the correspondence between the officials of Värmland?s municipal and the Legal, Financial and Administrative Services Agency of the State.
Nu måste jag välja! : Hur ungdomar i år nio upplever och hanterar sin beslutsprocess inför gymnasievalet
Ungdomar idag står inför en mängd valalternativ. Syftet med studien var att få förståelse för hur ungdomar i ett individperspektiv hanterar och upplever sin beslutsprocess beträffande sitt gymnasieval. En kvalitativ metod användes och intervjuer genomfördes med åtta elever i år nio från en skola i en medelstor kommun. Resultatet visar att tanken på gymnasievalet initieras främst från personer i ungdomarnas närhet. De har periodvis tänkt väldigt intensivt på gymnasievalet.
