Internalisation of emissions costs from Swedish aviation
This thesis examines the emissions costs of Swedish aviation and their degree of internalisation under current
economic instruments. The results show that the degree of internalisation spans from practically zero for a
long-haul flight to 6 per cent for a typical domestic flight, where the climate cost, including high-altitude
impact, makes up the main part of the cost. To inform evaluation of the consequences of this underinternalisation,
or attempts to correct for it using price instruments, the price and income elasticities of
international leisure air travel from Sweden are estimated using household expenditure data and two different
price measures. The resulting elasticities are very high ? 2.03 or 2.04 for the income elasticity and -2.53 or
-1.88 for the price elasticity ? and should be interpreted cautiously due to data limitations, especially for the
price elasticities.
Tillämpning av ett medium : kvalitativ pilotstudie av två generationers användning av iPad
This study aims to investigate and describe the direction of the ideological development of the Swedish gymnastics association Gymniska Förbundet.

Hållbarhetsredovisning i svenska företag: - utveckling, trender och drivkrafter
This study aims to investigate development and reasons behind sustainability reporting in large Swedish companies. By examining 15 companies? environmental and sustainability reports between the years 2000 and 2008, data was collected on matters such as frequency, scope and design. Identified trends were to a large extent in line with previous studies on international development; sustainability reporting is growing in several aspects. The authors have found one major reason for this development to be increasing requirements and expectations from stakeholders and a need for companies to legitimize their actions.
Byte av systemutvecklingsmetod : En verksamhetsnytta eller en nödvändighet?
AbstractSystem methodology is in the very heart of system development, it is a crucial part of how you define your work, how you choose to approach the actual problem at hand and how to solve it. Researchers in the system development field has shown that not all methods in theory are in compliance with how it is practiced by the companies who use them. In our thesis we have studied a larger international IT- company and one of their local offices in Sweden, who some years back changed their system development method from a more traditional to an agile one. Our aim of this study has been to establish whether both of these methods has differed between theory and in actual use, and if so, why this has occurred and what the underlying rationality might have been to promote this change. Our questions that we sought to answer were; 1.
Fr?n kryph?l till skotth?l En motivanalys om undantag i svensk lagstiftning om vapenexport efter lag?ndringen 2018
This study aims to contribute to the existing research field of Swedish arms export by
examining the motives behind how the Swedish government and ISP have warranted arms
export to countries in or on the brink of armed conflict after the change in law in 2018. The
current Swedish legislation from 2018 with its basis in international legislation does not
allow arms export to countries in or on the brink of armed conflict, but it still occurs due to a
law that allows for exceptions if the arms export aligns with Sweden's interest in security
policy. Earlier research has been conducted in the field and stated that Sweden?s progressive
brand makes it possible for Sweden to export arms and still come across as a peaceful
country, and that the Swedish government is involved in the arms trade which is essentially a
private market. The analysis uses the theory of militarization to establish possible motives
and a theoretical framework.
"Jag gör det senare, i morgon eller någon annan dag" : Om Prokrastinering i Arbetslivet
Syftet med studien var att undersöka om det finns samband mellan prokrastinering och anställnings- och arbetsrelaterade faktorer, samt mellan prokrastinering, målmedvetenhet; och neuroticism. Studien genomfördes i form av en enkätundersökning som besvarades av 100 personer. Enkäten bestod av frågor från General Procrastination Scale, International Personality Item Pool, samt delar ur en medarbetarundersökning från Karolinska Institutet. Studiens huvudresultat visade att män prokrastinerade mer än kvinnor och medarbetare prokrastinerade i högre utsträckning än chefer. Högre ålder hade ett samband med lägre grad av prokrastinering.
Nordiskt bistånd till balterna, men med vilken ambition? : en jämförelse av Sveriges, Finlands, Danmarks och Norges strategier mellan 1991-2001
Ämnesområdet avhandlar svenskt, finskt, danskt och norskt bistånd (säkerhetsfrämjande stöd) till de baltiska länderna Estland, Lettland och Litauen under perioden 1991-2001. Undersökningen omfattar främst den säkerhetspolitiska målsättning som respektive nordiskt land har haft för sitt stöd till respektive baltiskt land under 1991-2001. Syftet är att analysera de fyra nordiska ländernas individuella säkerhetspolitiska målsättningar och därigenom se om de fyra nordiska aktörerna verkligen är så koordinerade i sitt stöd som de övergripande målsättningarna kan ge sken av? Uppträder de fyra nordiska länderna som den koordinerade aktör som man ibland kan få uppfattningen av? Eller är det så att de i verkligheten agerar som fyra separata aktörer? Som modell för att analysera det nordiska ländernas stöd har det vidare säkerhetsbegreppet för staten använts..
Transition till demokrati: strukturella faktorers påverkan i de begränsade flerpartisystemen Kenya och Tanzania
This paper deals with institutional and structural factors' influence on democratic transition in limited multiparty regimes in Sub-Saharan Africa. Comparing the cases Kenya and Tanzania, of which the former has made a transition to democracy and the latter has not, this paper reaches the conclusion that political traditions, the coalescing of the opposition, and the elites ability to learn from the electoral process is essential for a transition to democracy. In the specific cases, the harshness of the Moi regime and the Tanzanian vision of national unity may possibly carry some explanatory power, alongside the pressure from international actors.These results have been reached through the application of a comparative case study, where democratic transition constitutes the dependent variable. It should be noted that a harsh definition of the term transition has been applied, according to which the incumbents actual loss of an election is a necessary indicator for transition. However, the Freedom House and Polity scores have been brought up as complement of this definition.

Delaktighet och inflytande i samhället, en verklighet för ungdomar? : En studie om ungdomars hinder och möjligheter till delaktighet och inflytande
The purpose of this study is to examine how adolescents can participate and have influence in the society, by making obstacles and opportunities that are considered central for their possibilities to power visible. National and international research indicates that adolescents opportunities to participation and influence are limited by the structures of society. A qualitative method was chosen, in which group interviews were made with 14 youths in development areas in Örebro.

An analytical model has been used to illuminate what kind of participation adolescents have in different parts of the society, where the concepts from the theoretical perspectives, power and participation are inserted.
Psykiska avståndets påverkan på internationell handel
The global market is becoming increasingly integrated and to keep up with growing competition and to achieve even greater success, companies expand to foreign markets. Previous studies have shown that the concept of psychic distance has an important impact on international performance regarding small and medium-sized enterprises (SME). The aim of our study is to provide the reader with a deeper understanding of how psychic distance influences export performance regarding Swedish SMEs. Through a single case study of a Swedish SME, we chose to research three different markets in three different continents. Our findings show that psychic distance influences export performance through export marketing strategy and active learning.
Följer Marinen doktrinen? : manövertänkande vid internationella insatser med fartygsförband
Denna uppsats har som syfte att undersöka huruvida det i Militärstrategisk doktrin respektive Doktrin för marina operationer beskrivna manövertänkandet tillämpas vid internationella insatser med fartygsförband. Bakgrunden till detta är att det sedan doktrinerna skrevs har genomförts sådana, vilket innebär ett underlag som inte fanns under framtagandet av doktrinerna.Studien genomförs som en fallstudie av insatsen ME01 inom ramen för EUNAVFOR Operation Atalanta utanför Somalia mellan maj och september 2009. Data samlas in i huvudsak genom intervjuer med ett urval av deltagande officerare.Resultaten av studien visar att inom förbandet ME01 förekom manövertänkande, men det kan inte konstateras vara som ett resultat av något medvetet val eller av att det var en internationell insats. Avseende hela operationen konstateras snarare en avsaknad av manövertänkande som huvudmetod, vilket framförallt hänförs till egenskaper som återfinns i multinationella operationer..
