Syntheiströrelsen förklaras mot bakgrund av en mindre intervjustudie med tongivande medlemmar i stockholmsförsamlingen samt undersökning av näraliggande material..

The aim of this study was to understand how social workers deal with honour-related violence, with special focus on the processing from sheltered housing. Our qualitative interviews with social workers that work with this kind of problems show that there are both obstacles and opportunities in the processing from sheltered housing. On the negative side are the loneliness, the shame and the guilt that the girls may experience when they need to leave their families. The social services can both be an obstacles and an opportunity. When the girls need to create a new life in a new city they have a lot of opportunities and in the same time it is hard to get to know new friends when you don´t know the city or have much money.

Mergers between companies has become more and more common in Sweden and in the rest of the world with the motive to increase the competitive strength in the current markets and has an important role within organisational development of companies. When organisations merger there is not only buildings and objects that are put together but also their individual organisational structures, people, values and cultures. This can be a difficult process and can affect many people in how they think conscious as well as unconscious, feel and react.The purpose of this thesis is to gain a deeper understanding of how employees are affected following a merger when changes in the organisational culture come up, and how these changes are expressed.This thesis is delimited to investigate only one company, Skruf Snus AB and only focus on their business and employees in the region of Stockholm. The thesis contains a qualitative investigation with semi structured interviews that has been carried out with eight employees at Skruf Snus AB. The thesis is partly based on a model of Schein which describes the different levels in organisational culture and partly on some theories about reactions to change in relation to the integration between the employees following a merger.The results of the investigation indicate that with a merger the whole organisational culture is affected and therefore also the employees.

In Sweden, detailed development plans (DDPs) go through a screening process to decide whether their implementation could cause significant environmental impact or not. The criteria in the legislation were studied to see if an environmental impact assessment was needed. This study also investigated 26 DDPs from 12 out of 13 of the municipalities in Östergötland and how they meet up to the demands in relevant legislation, for example the rules for Environmental Impact Assessments. Plans that concerned suburban communities and new housing were selected. The environmental issues highlighted in the plan documents were compared to selected topics from the GIS data base 'Östgötakartan' to see if the assessments made by the municipalities were reasonable judged.

Kvalificerad arbetskraft är en av de viktigaste resurserna ett företag kan tillgå. Då kunskap, färdigheter och expertis generellt sett inte är allmänt tillgängligt krävs det därför att hitta vägar för att bibehålla kunskapsbärande arbetskraft och kanske ännu viktigare, att attrahera till gemensamt utnyttjande av kunskap. Gemensamt utnyttjande av olika individers kunskaper är dock inget som skall tas förgivet eftersom en rad olika faktorer inverkar på individers vilja att dela med sig av sitt kunnande.En grundförutsättning för kunskapsdelning är beroende på organisationers uppbyggnad och vilket företagsklimat som finns. Mindre formaliserade organisationer är att föredra där handlingsfriheten och öppenhet är framträdande. Gemenskap, delaktighet, ansvar och förtroende är viktiga incitament för viljan att dela sina kunskaper..

One key factor in silviculture today is sustainability. In order to achieve sustainability it may be important to restore lost nutrients to the forest after clearcutting. In order to calculate the removal, you need to know how much of different elements you will find in different tree compartments. The aim of this study was to investigate if the concentration of elements in different tree compartments of spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst) were related to the moisture conditions of the site. Five plots at Risfallet (60º 21´ N, 16º 13´ E), was placed along a moisture gradient in a 40- year spruce stand.

Vad är det egentligen i naturen som påverkar äldres hälsa och hur påverkar det? Vilka faktorer är viktiga att ta hänsyn till i utformandet av utemiljön vid ett äldreboende? Detta är de första två frågeställningarna som besvaras i denna kandidatuppsats. Huvudsyftet med uppsatsen har varit att ta reda på vilka faktorer i utemiljön som har störst verkan på äldre människors hälsa, och som då är viktiga att ta hänsyn till i utformandet av utemiljöer kring äldreboenden. Resultatet från litteraturstudien har använts till ett förslag med förändringar på utemiljön vid äldreboendet Vidablick i Ronneby. Jag har kommit fram till att faktorer som möjlighet till aktivitet, tillgänglighet, stimulans av sinnen, bra mötesplatser mm. är viktiga i utemiljön kring äldreboenden då de leder till känsla av trygghet, social gemenskap och det underlättar för äldres orientering i både tid och rum..
