Soybean meal from South America is the most common protein feed used for animal production in Sweden. Production of soybean has negative effects on the environment and the transports from South America to Sweden causes considerable CO2 emissions. Therefore it is a growing interest in locally produced protein feed in Sweden. Protein feeds that are possible to grow in Sweden are rapeseed, peas, faba beans and lupins. Those are adapted to the Nordic climate and are perfect to grow in cereal rotations.

Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka de alternativa drivmedlen på en regional och en global nivå. Författarnas syfte var att fokusera på hur dagens infrastruktur påverkar användandet av alternativa drivmedel, men under arbetets gång visade det sig att den egentliga problematiken låg kring debatten om de olika alternativens framställningsprocesser och kostnader för dessa.I uppsatsen tas regional geografisk teori upp och även politisk och ekonomisk geografi för att kunna förklara de alternativa drivmedlens framtid och dess konsekvenser.I metoden har författarna valt att intervjua flera olika intressenter som är med i utvecklingen kring miljöbilar och alternativa bränslen för att få olika perspektiv.Intervjuerna var informationsrika och gav författarna insikt om hur komplex den nya marknaden egentligen är och att det krävs ytterligare forskning inom området för att tillgodose våra framtida energibehov..

The subject of this bachelor-level thesis in archaeology in the transition from archaic sapiens to anatomically modern humans, and what might have caused this transition. A part of the study aims to prove or disprove whether an increased consumption of shellfish might have caused this development. Another part of the essay deals with the connection of said evolution and the suggested emergence of cultural and ritual practices in South Africa circa 100 000 BP and an evaluation of the arguments concerning the aquatic ape hypothesis, and their usefulness for the subject.The result of investigation of the theory about the increased consumption of marine resources as a probable cause of the last biological step of creating our species points to the conclusion that it is a probable explanation. There is even some evidence that there could be a connection between consumption of marine resources and the "Out of Africa 2"-theory. It is harder to find a proven connection between the suggested emergence of cultural and ritual practices, even some evidence seems to strengthen the idea.

The financial crisis in 2008, effected companies around the globe and forced them to change their operational strategies, in order to survive.

Organisations need to reconsider their optimal strategy as this will determine their future outcome when managing a crisis as the one in 2008.

Vi lever i en värld som blir allt mer global, vilket skapar möjligheter för företag att sourca produkter från de platserna i världen med bäst kompetens och/eller lägst pris. Indien är ett av de mest attraktiva länderna för företag att sourca ifrån, vilket dels beror på landets rika invånarantal, starka tillväxt och höga kompetens. Dock innebär global sourcing inte enbart fördelar utan företagen utsätts även för flertal risker och utmaningar som de måste hantera för att lyckas, inte minst på en tillväxtmarknad som Indien.Syftet med uppsatsen är att få en ökad kunskap och förståelse för de utmaningar och risker som företag inom fordonsindustrin ställs inför, vid global sourcing på tillväxtmarknader. Studien fokuserar på Volvo Bussar och AQ Group för att undersöka hur de upplever, samt hanterar risker och utmaningar på tillväxtmarknaden Indien.För att besvara syftet med studien har det vetenskapliga förhållningssättet i uppsatsen varit hermeneutiskt med en deduktiv ansats och kvalitativ undersökningsmetod. Strukturerade intervjuer har genomförts med företagsledare inom två globala företag, dessutom har en intervju genomförts med en branschorganisation inom fordonsindustrin.

Purpose: We have three purposes that will answer our problem questions. Our first purpose is to identify how diversification effects for investors changed between emerging markets and developed markets in the period 1996-2010.

One important change is tariff reduction through the Common Effective Preferential Tariff (CEPT-scheme), which increased Myanmar?s export to countries outside the ASEAN. The increase in exports facilitated trade creation and investment creation for Myanmar.

The aim of this study is to find out in which way the education about climate in school is taught and how the students experience the world situation today. There are various theories about the greenhouse effect and its origin and these theories should be addressed to ensure that students get a broader understanding of how climate change occurs. This includes the natural phenomena and also the human impact on climate change. Students in school are a source of concern that only human are the cause of global warming, and know little or almost nothing about the natural phenomena of global warming.  I will mention what has emphasized in the national steering documents in the case of environmental education at school.I have used a qualitative method, where interviews and document analysis were used as techniques. The interviews took place with five students in ninth grade and with three science teachers in the same school..
