A sustainable development can be seen as an obvious to goal aim at. In reality the aim means a hard and complex work.

The sections of the pieces of furniture are printed on and relate to a standard sheet of plywood.

In today?s tough business environment the need for good and efficient leaders are becoming more and more important. The businesses are in constant change, the world is more unpredictable and the competences of the employees are much greater today, which also calls for a new type of leader, a leader who not only is authoritarian, but also possesses soft skills.

They try to develop leaders in all domains of their life, both professional and personal and the model we work with in this paper is Total Leadership, this model implies that you try to accomplish being a better leader throughout your whole life as a leader, to be whole, genuine and innovative, no matter career or position in life.

This paper deals with rights of women and their social role during the Viking Age. The method is to compare things and written material.In the written material, three cases of rape have been identified. How each of these cases where looked upon differs; legally the punishment for rape was exile. Violence against wives implied their right to divorce, whereby they were entitled to take with them a great part of the family´s capital, namely their dowry and morning gift.A husband and wife did not inherit each other but a widow could inherit from her children if they died without offspring.Women buried in boat graves indicate that they had a function or were closely involved in the cult. From two graves, the Aska Grave and the Oseberg Grave, the findings can be interpreted as indicating a change in the social behaviour.

In 2010 there will be a political resolution to ensure that the Swedish society is accessible to all citizens including people with disabilities. For this purpose a national action plan for disability policy "From patient to citizen" (Govt. Bill 1999/2000:79) has been set out with the aim of ensuring that the disability perspective will permeate every sector of society and that the approach and response to people with disabilities will be improved. The Swedish National Council for Cultural Affairs is responsible for implementing the disability policy in the cultural sector.Since public libraries in Sweden are a part of the public cultural sector, they will also be affected by the political resolution regarding accessibility.

The aim of this thesis is to study discursive change in the Swedish environmental political discourse between 1987-2005. The text of three Swedish budget propositions are analysed for this purpose.The results from the analysis are related to a few relevant theoretical perspectives that hold partly different views on what constitutes ?sustainable development? and ?ecological modernization?. Through these theories the thesis continues the discussion around the two central but somewhat blurry terms sustainable development and ecological modernization. The aim of this discussion is to conclude whether the discursive change in Swedish environmental politics can be said to go more in the direction of sustainable development or ecological modernization, or if elements of both perspectives can be found.The analysis shows that the Swedish environmental discourse has come to include more and more political fields such as general welfare politics, during the period.

Syftet med uppsatsen var att undersöka vilka bestämmelser i minerallagen, plan- och bygglagen samt miljöbalken som berör varandra under processen att söka och erhålla undersökningstillstånd och bearbetningskoncession för koncessionsmineraler. Minerallagen är den lagstiftning som reglerar utvinningen av koncessionsmineraler i Sverige och är en lagstiftning med en lång historik. Gruvnäringen i Sverige sträcker sig tillbaka till 1200-talets bergsbruk och med tidens gång har minerallagen utvecklats till den lagstiftning som gäller idag, en koncessionsrättslig minerallag med inslag av inmutningsrätt. Utgångspunkten var att undersöka hur en gruvverksamhet kan bedrivas inom ett område med detaljplan eller områdesbestämmelser enligt plan- och bygglagen. Undersökningen utfördes enligt traditionell juridisk metod, det vill säga genom studier av lagstiftning, förarbeten och doktrin.
