The subject-matter of the following essay is to investigate the relationship between what is commonly called Deep Ecology or Biocentric Philosophy, as articulated by the co-founder of the Deep Ecology Movement, Arne Naess, and later proponents of the biocentric school of environmentalist thought. I contrast Naess? concept of Self-realization as founded in his Ecosophy T to the ideas of american conservationist and co-founder of the radical green movement Earth First! Dave Foreman, and to the controversial finnish environmentalist and ecofascist Pentti Linkola?s ideological agenda of population-reduction respectively.According to some critics of the movement, especially the social ecologist Murray Bookchin and French liberal philosopher Luc Ferry, the Deep Ecology ideology is essentially misanthropic and totalitarian in structure. A central idea among deep ecologists is that ecosystems and natural entities have intrinsic value in themselves, even outside a human social context. This idea is thought of among deep ecologists to create a philosophically sound basis for counteracting the environmental global crisis.

I denna rapport undersöks vilka problem det finns i samarbetet mellan JM Entreprenad AB och dess underentreprenörer. Med hjälp av semistrukturerade intervjuer med arbetsledare och platschefer, från både underentreprenörer och JM Entrepren ad AB, har vi fått synpunkter på vilka dessa problem är, vad konsekvenserna blir och eventuella lösningar på problemen.  Åtta stycken punkter som vi kallar ?teman? i rapporten, har framförts från intervjukandidaterna. Det är punkter som påverkar samarbetet mellan parterna ute i produktionen. De lyder som följer: -     Säkerhet (arbetsmiljösäkerhet-     Lagbas kontra arbetsledare  -     Arbetsberedningar  -     Samarbetet mellan olika underentreprenörer  -     Möten (byggmöte och basmöte)  -     Arbetslivserfarenhet  -     Ändrings- och tilläggsarbeten  -     Tidsplanering  Den insamlande informationen är analyserad och presenterad enligt ovanstående teman med en tematisk analys.

Partnering is a new and exciting way of cooperation in the Swedish construction industry. In countries like Denmark and the United Kingdom the concept has been developed during a number of years while the Swedish construction industry has been more reluctant.Partnering is seen by many as the solution to the problems that often occur in design and build contracts. Many others believe that it is a way for the big entrepreneurs to gain unfair advantage. Never the less the concept is fast getting more and more appreciation, especially in the region of Karlstad where many new buildings are built that way.We have focused on the new development of Carlstad Conference Center (CCC) which is currently built with a partnering concept. The main method that have been used in this thesis are interviews with personnel on different positions in the project.

There are mainly two ways to transform the design of an existing park. You could either make a replanning of the park, an act that changes the design and the plant material in one swoop. Or you could use the management to change the expression of the park. To be able to develop the parks with the help of management, some form of goal is needed, that can make the management of the park strive towards an expression for the whole park as well as its individual parts. Among the documented goals, for individual parks and park management, which exist in the municipalities today, there seems to be a weak link between the all-embracing goals and the management that is carried out in the parks.

Den liberala demokratin, till vilken västvärldens politiska system bekänner sig, bygger i grunden på tanken att alla människor har naturliga rättigheter till liv, frihet och egendom. På grund av otryggheten i ett anarkistiskt naturtillstånd, kommer människor att sluta sig samman i stater, där de går med på att inskränka en del av sin frihet och överlåta makt till staten, på villkor att staten garanterar sina medborgare skydd för de naturliga rättigheterna. Så länge staten klarar av dessa uppgifter förbinder sig medborgarna att lyda staten, vars grund således, enligt denna teori, vilar på ett fiktivt samhällskontrakt. Inom ramen för detta samhällskontrakt har medborgare rätt att protestera för att nå förändring, så länge protesterna inte hotar samhällets fortsatta existens. Exempel på sådana legitima former av protester är (lagliga) demonstrationer, namninsamlingar samt olika former av civil olydnad som har gemensamt att aktörerna som deltar vill påverka inom ramen för samhällssystemet och därför står för sina handlingar samt är beredda att, om så är nödvändigt, låta rättssystemet ha sin gång.

The idea with constructions made out of prefabricated elements is that it should be quick and easy to build as the demands for lower production costs, increased profitability and shorter production times are constantly increasing. High accuracy in measurements and well-balanced tolerances is required to achieve this. The fact that the concrete-elements doesn?t fit and that damage occurs during assembly is a highly topical issue even though we now have methods and systems that make this high-intensity construction possible. Through this report we want to highlight the problems that cause the dimensional and tolerance problems and give suggestions on how to come to terms with these.
