Important issues for the local authorities are what to do with the sludge produced insewagetreatment plants. The tax for landfill leads to higher costs with 250 SEK/ton. On the 31December 2004 it will be forbidden to landfill sludge.In Sweden the yearly production of sludge is 240 000 tons, counted as DS. The phosphorouscontent is 3 % in sludge. The total yearly production of sludge gives 6000 tons of phosphorous.

To be able to secure a safe and reliable power supply is becoming increasingly important since society depends on services and functions that need continuous power supply. The delivery rate in Swedish power supply is 99.98 % which insists on a high availability. During the past decade several storms has passed Sweden which resulted in large amount of tree felling leading to extended power outages. During these storms many socially critical activities, such as electric utility company Fortum, experienced disruption in mobile communication which affected the crisis management. This paper has investigated Swedish mobile operators? crisis management at Hi3G, Tele2 and TeliaSonera with a case study of the storm Dagmar that hit Sweden during December in 2011.

Cooling down the indoor air can be done in several ways. One way is desiccantcooling which will be used at the Stockholm Arena. This method is used in airhandling units that use temperature changes and moisture fluctuations in the air. Oneof the steps is to add heat during the cooling process in order to reduce the relativehumidity of the exhaust air. The air passes thru an adsorptions rotor which thenabsorbs moisture from the supply air.

In this report the two authors, and project contributors alike, describe their work withdeveloping a solar cooker intended for usage in the developing countries of the world.Specifically, the work aims at developing a new, solar heat driven cooking device, possiblybased upon the current product. This should, in comparison to the current product, be lighter,easier to transport and to produce. Also, the new product?s production mustn?t be more costlythan today and the included materials and components must be obtainable from within theBolivian national borders where the product is currently produced. During the project, certainadvantages with a more efficient, and, above all, a more moderately priced product, werediscovered.

SummaryThe purpose of this thesis is to examine what effect the IFRS 2 has on earnings, equity, financial strength and return on equity for listed Swedish companies with active stock option plans. The purpose is further to investigate the companies? attitudes towards IFRS 2 and to find out if companies tend to deviate from stock option plans due to the changed accounting rules. We also want to examine the view of IFRS 2 from an auditor?s perspective.We have used a deductive approach and a mix of quantitative and qualitative research methods with a view to get a completely clear picture within the field of study.

De flytande hus som producerades av Aquavilla AB i början av sekelskiftet har problem medotätheter i konstruktionen. Detta har gjort att boende i Aquavillorna i förekommande fall harklagat över drag och att värmen inte går att få upp ordentligt i husen. Frågeställningen för dettaexamensarbete blir således:Hur ska man göra för att få en erforderlig täthet i nästa generation Aquavillor och hur får manin en kontroll av tätheten i produktionen?Metoden som användes var trycktäthetsprovning på tre Aquavillor för att få en uppfattning omhur pass otäta de är och med en värmekamera ta reda på var otätheterna finns. Utöver dettautfördes även en litteraturstudie och diskussioner med personer erfarna inom lufttätningfördes för att kunna föreslå förbättringar i konstruktionen för att förhindra luftläckage.I en byggnad med FTX-system som är otät kommer inte ventilationssystemet kunna utnyttjassom det ska, då frånluften istället för att värma upp den inkommande kalla uteluften, kommeratt passera genom otätheter i klimatskalet.

I vår undersökning ville vi belysa unga förtagenerations-invandrarkvinnors identitets förändring. Dessa unga kvinnor lever under inflytande av två kulturer där deras identitetstillhörighet till sitt ursprung oftast bestäms av ett essentialistiskt synsätt, vilket innebär att den definieras av ett gemensamt ursprung och en speciell kulturtillhörighet. Men kvinnorna i vår studie visar att deras identitet egentligen bygger mer på ett konstruktivistiskt synsätt där den kulturella identiteten inte bestäms av en gemensam tillhörighet utan att identiteten förändras och omskapas hela tiden beroende på den situation man befinner sig i. Vi har gjort ett urval där vi har valt aktiva och kvinnor som har ansträngt sig för att integreras i det svenska samhället och inte valt ?den traditionella hemmafrun?.

This paper is a qualitative study on the influence of the residents in a special communitydwelling within the care system for elderly. The purpose of the study is to describe and analyse with a user perspective how particularly staff members but also a group of retired people living in this dwelling interpret and articulate the concept of resident influence. How the retirees can influence the design and the content of the activities and the organization. How today the residents influence is carried out with the ideas and visions of the future.My methods include qualitative structured, semi-structured and non-structured interviews within a general frame of a resident questionnaire. The staff members present the current situation and reflect on the reasons for obstacles for resident influence.The group of retired people who lives in structures originating in the Swedish long-term care system and homes for the elderly tends to adjust to given routines and express a low-voiced wish for increased influence.

Judged by appearance. This is the conclusion of research made on shopper behavior that revealed that consumers tend to go by their instinct when evaluating vacuum cleaners in a purchasing situation. Many buy the first vacuum cleaner they interact with and few buy pre-planned brands. Almost none even turn the machine on before taking a purchase decision.Electrolux Floor Care Europe has their factory for vacuum cleaners in Hungary. Increased competition from China makes it harder to "only" produce vacuum cleaners with good performance.

Det vi med detta arbete vill belysa är hur den samiska traditionella kunskapen om naturen som funnits och finns bland samerna som folk kan lyftas in den i en institution som den samiska förskolan. Uppsatsen är vårt utvecklingsarbete kring traditionell kunskap i naturen som en del i forskningsprojektet ?Gal dat oahppa go stuorrola?. Teorierna som vi lutat oss mot är från Mikkel Nils Saras (2004) lära om naturen från ett samiskt perspektiv, Asta Baltos (1997) teori om samisk barnsuppfostran samt Linda Smiths (1999) och Rauna Kuokkanens (2000) skrivningar om kolonisering och dekolonisering. Sara har systematiserat och kategoriserat natur utifrån ett samiskt perspektiv.

What is a city? What do we mean when we describe something as urban? In what way should we build the city so that we can achieve a good environment for our own generation and for generations to come? These questions are constantly of interest and they are frequently discussed. It is also important to have considered these questions when working with city-planning. This essay contains a description of and reflections about the recurrent questions in today?s debate about the city and city-planning.

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka vilka faktorer två akademiska studentgrupper ? blivande socionomer och civilingenjörer ? värdesätter hos en potentiell arbetsgivare samt utreda om det föreligger skillnader i värdesättning av dessa faktorer utifrån utbildningstillhörighet. Syftet är även att undersöka hur kvinnor och män värdesätter dessa faktorer.skning Om en organisation har kunskap om vilka arbetsgivarfaktorer potentiella medarbetare finner attraktiva finns större chans att det strategiska arbetet med Employer Branding når framgång (Moroko& Uncles, 2008). Både privat och offentlig sektor arbetar idag för att bli ett attraktiv arbetsgivare (Parment, Wetterberg & Myrén,2009) De individer som nu gör entré på dagens arbetsmarknad tillhör Generation Y (Parment, 2008). En förutsättning för att bli en attraktiv arbetsgivare är att organisationen har kunskap om vad som attraherar unga (Franzon & Lundgren, 2003).I studien användes webb- och postenkät som tillvägagångssätt för insamling av datamaterial.

I want to find the meaning of food ?potato in today?s society. How about marketing and how does potato consumes? What can be done to achieve better competitiveness towards other products now and in the future? I will build this project on a statistic ground ?now and then? as well as a study to people outside various food- markets. The consumers answers will state my foundation in this project.
