Det pågår idag en diskussion om klimatfrågor i världen. Ett uttryck för detta är målsättningarna inom EU inom ramen för teknologiplattformarna för skogsindustrier och deras Strategiska forskningsagenda, samt den motsvarande svenska Nationella forskningsagendan. Dessa är båda dokument som understryker att man bör arbeta för att utveckla fler nya material som är förnyelsebara för att kunna ersätta gamla materialtyper. Denna rapport ämnar belysa vilka faktorer som påverkar möjligheten till lyckade innovations-projekt inom skogsindustrin för förnyelsebara material. Studien genomfördes som en fallstudie av innovationsarbetet i samband med materialet som är kommersiellt känt som Durapulp och ägs av skogsföretaget Södra. I korthet är materialet en cellulosabaserad massa med en inblandning av bioplast vilket ger materialet goda beständighetsegenskaper samt innebär att materialet är förnyelsebart.

The purpose of this essay is to examine how same-sex couples experience the second-parent adoption process. To assist us, we have used our questions: how do the couples describe their experiences of the adoption process? Which are the couples? stories about the experience of contact with the involved professionals? What are the opportunities and barriers for same-sex couples to start a family? How do the couples describe their experience of reactions from the community and society, and how do they think the future will look like for same-sex couples?

Bakgrund: I dagens kunskapssamhälle, som också benämns"den nya ekonomin", utgörs många företags värde inte längre av fastigheter och maskinpark utan istället av kundlojalitet, elektronisk infrastruktur, innovation och anställdas kunskap. Det blir allt viktigare för företagen att lyfta fram dessa tillgångar för att uppnå konkurrensfördelar. Dagens redovisning ifrågasätts av dem som förespråkar att humankapital skall värderas och aktiveras på balansräkningen. Motståndarna till en aktivering talar om en alltför låg grad av pålitlighet vad gäller den här typen av infomation.Syfte: Uppsatsens syfte är att belysa humankapitalets roll utifrån ett stakeholderperspektiv samt att kartlägga hur IT-bolag idag redovisar sitt humankapital i årsredovisningen. Vi ämnar även att undersöka intresset för en genensam standardmodell.
