The Swedish government have a goal that wind turbines shall produce 30 TWh by the year 2020, compared to about 3,5 TWh produced in Sweden during 2010. To minimize the disturbance that wind turbines create the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency has stated a guideline value that noise from wind turbines at nearby residents shouldn?t exceed 40 dBA, at 8 m/s wind speed. With advanced calculation models, like Nord 2000, the emitted sound from future wind turbines can be calculated at an early stage to optimize the power production without exceeding the 40 dBA. When the turbines have been built there is a need to verify that they really are within the guideline.

Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) is a relatively new method for learning a foreign language. CLIL programs are growing in popularity and more and more schools are adopting it all around the world. There is still no special education for the teachers working with CLIL, though research suggests it may be an effective method for achieving good results.To get a realistic view of the work of a CLIL teacher, I have interviewed four different mathematic teachers who work at CLIL international schools in Spain with English as the foreign language. I have compared their methods and experiences with the main ideas of current research in this particular field.The survey shows that the teachers? views about how CLIL is to be used do not completely correspond to that of the research.

Today more and more companies are looking out to adopt a new generation intranet, a social intranet where all employees can engage to express themselves and share information. There are large expectations on these new services, which have the opportunity to create high business value if used actively and qualitatively. However, there is a large challenge in knowing how to best implement these services in an organization in order to achieve this. This paper has investigated how an implementation should be made by defining obstacles for the implementation and adoption, discussing how they could be overcome, investigating what incentives could be used to foster usage and finding common success factors for an implementation.By a qualitative research method, consisting of five case studies and two focus area interviews we found a number of steps that must be followed for an implementation to be successful. First the conditions of the organization must be investigated in order to see whether or not social tools are suitable.

Arbetets syfte är att undersöka hur väl ett moment från en tävling går att överföra till det vanliga klassrummet. Medlet har varit att låta eleverna arbeta i mindre grupper med en större öppen uppgift tagen från fysiktävlingen International Young Physicists? Tournament (IYPT) i projektform. Arbetet och dess form utvärderades genom redovisningar med opposition, självvärdering efter en bedömningsmatris samt en enkätundersökning kompletterat med mina egna observationer och värdering efter samma matris. Slutresultatet blev att det gick utmärkt att överföra frågorna från tävlingsscenen till det vanliga klassrummet och att eleverna starkt tog till sig fördelarna med att arbeta i projektform och med att ge kamratrespons, medan arbetsformens inverkan på deras intresse för och uppfattning om fysik var av mer tveksam art..

Förstainstansrättens dom i målet Microsoft mot Kommissionen har gett upphov tillmånga konkurrensrättsliga frågor, bl.a. gällande Microsofts tying av WindowsMedia Player till sitt operativsystem Windows. Denna uppsats för framförallt ettresonemang kring frågan om huruvida de ?traditionella? EG-rättsliga metodersom idag används vid bedömningen av kopplingsförbehåll (tying) är förlegade närdessa ska appliceras på en ?ny? produkt som mjukvara. En analys av konkurrensrättsligdoktrin och rättspraxis visar att Microsoftdomen i delen vad gäller tying ärkonsekvent gentemot den praxis som etablerats på området genom målen T-30/89Hilti AG mot Kommissionen samt C-333/94 P Tetra Pak International SA motKommissionen.

Bakgrund och problem: Under 2008 uppdaterade International Accounting Standards Board (IASB)regelverket för finansiella tillgångar med tillägg i IAS 39 och IFRS 7 vad gäller klassificering, värderingoch upplysning. Uppdateringen var en effekt av den finansiella krisen som drog in över Europa medfull kraft under den senare delen av 2008, vilken medförde inaktiva kapitalmarknader. I och medförändringarna gavs företagen möjlighet att omklassificera finansiella tillgångar värderade till verkligtvärde till upplupet anskaffningsvärde. Eftersom bankers tillgångar generellt består av en stor delfinansiella tillgångar ämnade författarna undersöka uppdateringarnas tillämpning inom banksektorn.Studiens problemformulering löd: Vilka samband kan identifieras mellan noterade banker inom EUvad gäller tillämpningen av tilläggen i IAS 39 och IFRS 7?Syfte: Att kartlägga vilka samband som fanns mellan de banker som valt att omklassificera och desom inte valt att omklassificera med inriktning på effekterna ur ett investerarperspektiv.Avgränsningar: Det är endast tillgångsvärdering inom IAS 39 som studerats, ty uppdateringarnabehandlade det området.

Denna uppsats är skriven inom ramen för ämnet Krigsvetenskap under författarens  studier på yrkesofficersprogrammet 2009 -2012 till nautisk officer. I studien beskrivs risker och metoder i samband med att ammunition omhändertas. Syftet är att belysa en problematik som ammunitionsröjare skulle kunna möta idag då de metoder som finns idag främst är avsedda för röjning på land.  De senaste åren visar en ökad frekvens av attacker utanför Somalias kust. I samband med den här typen av attacker finns chansen att behov av nya metoder också uppstår.

According to the EC fuel regulations 2 % bio fuel has to be blended in all fuel by the year 2005, and 5.75 % by the year 2010, which means ethanol for gasoline driven vehicles, so there will be a substantial demand for ethanol. Brazil already has an established industry for producing ethanol and is the leading producer and exporter of fuel ethanol. My purpose with this paper is to investigate why Brazil decided to develop ethanol production on a large-scale operation and to find out today?s situation. Focus will mainly be on ethanol production with sugarcane as a feedstock.

Conflict prevention is a term which has gained much influence during the last decades. To prevent conflicts from occuring have both humanitarian and economic incentives as the cost for war are much greater than the cost of acting preventive. To act in this matter has been regarded a priority for the United Nations during several years, and the European Union have also expressed a wish of playing a more active part. The essay compares the actions taken by the international organisations in Macedonia, a country which headed toward a violent conflict. The UN acted through the mission UNPREDEP and the EU through the mission of Concordia.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) issues have been received much attention in businessand management practises globally. Jensen & Yeh (2009, 3) state that ?The agenda ofCorporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has emerged as a factor in the process of globalization,and Chinese companies may sometimes feel pushed into this agenda without a clearunderstanding of the rationale behind it?. China?s textile and apparel industry, amanufacturing-based economy with its products bounding up with the consumers worldwide,has been facing enormous pressure to take CSR initiatives, particularly in relation toenvironmental issues and labor standards.

Using the models from van Maanen and Schein (1977) and Dutton et al. (1994), we have been able to investigate the socialization process and organizational identification both from the organizational as well as the individual?s perspective. The link between these two perspectives establishes a better insight into the company?s actual socialization intentions and the individual?s identification with the firm.

The research of the essay will be about Solidarity, the Polish trade union that began to rise in the beginning of 1980. In more specific tendencies to the empirical study, it is interesting getting to know about when the free trade union was created with a view to liberate the Polish people from Communism.The essay will be studied as an empirical case study, with a qualitative text analysis. The content will also include how power is allocated to the political, economic and social aspects of the national, and international relations. Therefore it will be relevant to use a method of ideology analysis to the qualitative text.The result of the theoretical analysis was that it is difficult to apply the social movements into a political change, even if it leads to success. According to this, participants in social movements are able to use the most potential and most necessities of resources, just as activists tend to do in reality..

In the Darfur region, located in the West of Sudan, there is a conflict between rebel groups and the government-supported Janjaweed militia. The fighting?s, which started in 2003, has caused the loss of at least 200 000 human life and more than 2 million people have fled their homes. The conflict has been described as a? prolonged Rwanda?.

This qualitative study focuses on the investigation of different actor?s ideas concerning gender and womanhood in a post-socialist nation Bosnia and Herzegovina. The aim of this study is to try to provide experiences and attitudes of one not a new, but definitely one constantly changing phenomenon, trafficking in women for sexual exploitation. The qualitative data is mainly collected through nine interviews with people from Bosnian Governments, International organizations and NGOs during my stay in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The causes to trafficking are complex and intertwined but it directly relates to gender discrimination and attitudes on sexual relationships between women and men.

Inledning I spåren av Relevance Lost-debatten introducerades nya ekonomistyrnings-& problem- innovationer (ESI:er), däribland BSC. Trots organisationers ökade intresse fördiskussion ESI:er varierar adoptionsbenägenheten. Åtskilliga forskningsstudier har gjort enansats att förklara detta på organisatorisk nivå. Under senare år har dock konstateratsatt adoption inte enbart kan förklaras med hjälp av kontextuella faktoreroch rationella val, utan komplexa adoptionsbeslut fattas ytterst av individer.Studier inom Upper Echelon Theory koncentrerar sig på individen bakom ettadoptionsbeslut, nämligen adoptören. Adoptörens karaktärsdrag, såsom utbildning,ålder, tid inom organisationen samt kön avspeglas i de beslut vederbörandefattar.
