Syftet med denna uppsats var att göra en jÀmförelse mellan studenter som lÀser det första respektive det sista Äret pÄ socialpsykologiskt program pÄ högskolan i Skövde ideras attityder mot hemlösa och tro pÄ att vÀrlden Àr rÀttvis. Ett ytterligare syfte var att ta reda pÄ om det fanns ett samband mellan attityder mot hemlösa och tro pÄ att vÀrlden Àr rÀttvis. Den teoretiska utgÄngspunkten i uppsatsen var perspektivet socialkognition, med relevanta begrepp som attityder, stereotyper och fördomar samt LernerŽs teori (1980) om tron pÄ en rÀttvis vÀrld. Metoden som anvÀndes var kvantitativ och utfördes genom tvÄ enkÀter; Attitudes Toward Homelessness Inventory (Kingree & Daves, 1997) och The Global Belief in a Just World Scale (Lipkus, 1991). Den statistiska bearbetningen skedde med hjÀlp av statistikdataverktyget PASW Statistics 17.

The global wood pellet market has seen a rapid growth after the adoption of the Kyoto protocol and the renewable energy incentives created within the European Union. The global consumption of wood pellets reached 13,5 million tonnes in 2010 and several experts estimate the consumption to be between 35-50 million tonnes by 2020. These forescasts raise the questions which regions that can supply this vast amount of wood pellets and what the conditions are for producing it. This study evaluates the conditions for wood pellet production and export from British Columbia, on Canada?s west coast, focusing on existing industry structure, raw material supply and the distribution chain.

The concept of vulnerability is the capacity or the sensitivity to become damaged. Vulnerability are characterized by one or more of the following terms; a systemÂŽs sensitivity to exposure to shock, stress or interference, the state of the system in relations to a threshold of damages, and the systemÂŽs ability to adapt to the changing circumstances. Vulnerability in this study is referring to the sensitivity of the circumstances that lead to sustainable livelihood that canÂŽt be maintain and that there is an inability to cope with and manage stress. The choice of making a study in this area is based on that action needs to be taken to moderate the vulnerable aspects of society, in this respect in relations to storms. Analyzes of the social vulnerability to climate change or natural events is needed for effective actions.

Företag och organisationer producerar och publicerar allt mer redovisning. Förutom den obligatoriska redovisningen utökas information i allt större grad av frivillig hÄllbarhetsinformation. Det har gjorts flera studier om vad som fÄr företagen att producera hÄllbarhetsinformation. Studierna visar pÄ ett flertal faktorer som kan pÄverka omfattning och utformning men det finns motstridiga resultat inom forskningen.Syftet med den hÀr studien Àr att se hur företagens storlek, miljöpÄverkan och lönsamhet pÄverkar hÄllbarhetsredovisningens omfattning.I teorin beskrivs legitimitetsteorin och intressentteorin som en förklaringsmodell till hur företag pÄverkas av intressenterna till att dela med sig av hÄllbarhetsinformation. Företagen svarar upp mot intressenternas krav pÄ sÄdan information och söker legitimitet i samhÀllet.I studien har en kvantitativ metod anvÀnts.

This paper examines the opportunities and challenges of integrating conservation practice and the circular economy into practical planning processes. In recent years, the discussion of circular economy and its relevance in the sustainability debate has intensified. According to the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency, the transition to a circular economy is crucial to achieving the national and international environmental and climate goals as well as the global goals in Agenda 2030. Parallel to this, there is a long established heritage discourse that emphasizes the importance of preserving buildings and cultural environments as part of our cultural heritage. These two discourses have common goals, but they differ in how they present their respective arguments.

During the summer of 2005 more than 80 million articles of clothing from China, were being held in European harbours. This was a consequence of a striking increase of imported textile and clothing articles from China since the turn of the year, which was the time when all quantitative restrictions were extincted on these products. To protect its own market, the EU therefore reintroduced import quotes in the beginning of the summer. China?s accession agreement to the WTO comprehends a number of unique provisional regulations which are exceptional for the country and in conjunction with clauses and exceptions within the GATT and WTO these regulations enabled new restrictions on the trade with textiles and clothings.

This study investigates and analyzes experiences of discrimination and racism among social work students, focusing on how these issues occur between peers rather than through hierarchical dynamics, such as interactions with faculty. The research aims to shed light on the academic challenges faced by students with foreign backgrounds, as defined by Statistics Sweden (SCB), particularly those who experience discriminatory practices and behaviors within the academic environment. The study adopts a qualitative methodology, utilizing semi-structured interviews to explore the lived experiences of these students. Participants were selected based on their enrollment in social work programs and their identification as having a foreign background. Data was analyzed thematically to uncover recurring patterns and insights into the participants' experiences.

Sverige har historiskt sett drabbats av fyra finansiella kriser sedan landet industrialiserades i slutet av 1800 ? talet. I dagslÀget befinner vi oss i en ny finansiell kris vilken har en global spridning och har sin grogrund i bland annat att utlÄningen ökat lavinartat runt om i vÀrlden det sista decenniet . Finansiella kriser föranleds ofta av att det finansiella systemet satts ur balans. För att erhÄlla ett stabilt finansiellt system krÀvs förtroende och för att vÀrna om detta, och dÀrmed stabiliteten i det finansiella systemet i förlÀngningen, finns lagar och regler.2007 implementerades ett nytt kapitaltÀckningsregelverk i svensk lag, efter direktiv frÄn EU.

Denna uppsats behandlar hur utbildningen vid tekniskt chefsprogram har utförts avseende det tekniskainledande Äret samt tre alternativa sÀtt att genomföra denna utbildning. Dessa tre alternativa sÀtt utgörsav de tre utbildningsmodellerna:1. Problembaserat lÀrande2. Femstegsmodellen3. Tematisk utbildningSyftet med uppsatsen Àr att belysa hur utbildningen vid Tekniskt Chefsprogram skulle kunna utvecklasför att nÄ en bÀttre systemförstÄelse och helhetssyn för att förbereda officeren för nÀsta nivÄ.OvanstÄende tre modeller har jag jÀmfört med utbildningen vid Teknisk Chefsprogram avseende för- ochnackdelar med utgÄngspunkt att mÄlgruppen Àr officerare, som ska bli chefer eller handlÀggare tillchefer, i grund- och insatsorganisationen.UtifrÄn pedagogisk litteratur och utredningar, inom och utom Försvarsmakten, har jag kommit fram tillett antal faktorer som pÄverkar kraven och möjligheterna för officerare att verka efter genomfördutbildning, frÀmst med fokus pÄ framtiden och behovet av systemkunskap.

In this paper, I have conducted a study of what perspectives educational drama has in theory and practice. The study aims to show an example of how and out of what perspectives educational drama is a part of the school?s activity at a geographically distinct school, from kindergarten on to primary and secondary school years. The general attitude of the faculty and their arguments for and against drama constitute the major aspects of this study, which has been carried out through qualitative interviews at a school in SkÄne. The results were that pre-school focuses on teaching drama to develop communicative abilities amongst the students (art educational perspective) while secondary school seemingly abandoned this approach and focuses more on using it for personal development, increasing empathy and understanding of other people by taking it to a more emotional level in order to affect for example moral values of the students.

Equality is a central aspect within development work. All development work is expected to be influenced by a gender equalty thinking, and these directions are distributed by the Department of Foreign Affairs, through Sida to Forum Syd and down to the very grasroot level, through Forum Syds local cooperation organisations. The essays question of research is a reflection over empowerment, with other words how international organisations influence other societies understanding of the society dynamics. This aspect triggered my interest for the subject, aswell as the link between aid, equality and men, and how these factors are in need of eachother. My study is mainly build on theoretical starting points, and not on earlier studies.

I takt med medias ökande rapportering om klimatfrÄgor har samhÀllets förstÄelse och intresse för hÄllbarhetsfrÄgor vuxit. Det har Àven företagen noterat och antalet företag som vÀljer att upprÀtta hÄllbarhetsredovisningar för att kommunicera ut vilket ansvar de tar utifrÄn de tre aspekterna ekonomi, miljö och socialt ökar Ärligen. I och med den ökade efterfrÄgan pÄ hÄllbarhetsredovisningar stÀlls ocksÄ högre krav pÄ kvaliteten och tillförlitligheten pÄ redovisningarna. För att uppnÄ ökad tillförlitlighet anvÀnds externa granskare i form av revisorer. Att upprÀtta en hÄllbarhetsredovisning Àr frivilligt för de flesta företag vilket har lett till att företagen ser en chans att förbÀttra sitt rykte och att ge en förskönad bild av sin verksamhet.

The world?s consumption is increasing at an accelerating rate and itÂŽs produced and consumed more goods and services than ever before. A large part of people's consumption consists of clothing that is bought and discarded increasingly leading to a number of environmental problems such as global warming, pollution, loss of biodiversity and the depletion of natural assets. One way to save the earth's resources is to buy used clothing, so called second hand, instead of new ones. The store chain ?The Ants? (in Swedish ?Myrorna?) has specializing in second-hand goods and sells, among other things, clothes.

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. Our second purpose is to examine the two crises, IT and financial crisis, and if the correlations between these two crises have changed. Our third purpose is to examine to what extent the Swedish stock market was influenced by other markets in the period 1996-2010, the IT and financial crisis.Methodology: The method is based on an analytic model consisting of two tools; Regression- and Correlation analysis. The Regression analysis will be used when investigating if a change in a foreign stock market affects a change on the Swedish stock market.
