This study evaluates the retention of nitrogen and phosphorus in four newly constructed wetlands in the municipality of Falkenberg, Sweden. The four wetlands have been selected because they have been specifically constructed with the aim to reduce nitrogen and phosphorus in farming areas. The process of selecting the specific wetlands has been done in collaboration with the county administration in Halland. Through field studies in collaboration with the landowners where the wetlands are sited, the areas that provide the wetlands with water were determined. The size of these drainage areas were determined in a GIS computer program. The type of land use within the drainage areas was also determined.

This study highlights the problematic situation fathers encounter when they require help and support in a custodial dispute. Previous research shows the emergence of a new, more involved father.

Detta kandidatarbete syftar till att beskriva vad som driver mjölkbönder i Dalarna. I ett land där många mjölkbönder lägger ner sin verksamhet väcks nyfikenhet på vad som driver de kvarvarande. Vid fem intervjuer med bönder har tre teman växt fram, vilka är entreprenörskap, gårdstyp och social hållbarhet. Temana knyts samman och jämförs med tidigare forskning. Studien har samhällsvetenskaplig inriktning och är kvalitativ.

Hedersrelaterat våld har inga gränser. Det sker inte endast i ett land, av ett folk med en specifik etnicitet, kultur eller religion. Hedersrelaterat våld existerar världen runt, även i Sverige. Mordet på Fadime Sahindal fick internationell uppmärksamhet och folk var i chock, speciellt den svenska regeringen som länge försökte förneka våldets existens i vårt avlånga jämställda land. Hedersrelaterat våld är en kategori av våld som i de flesta fall drabbar unga kvinnor som vägrar att infinna sig i familjens eller släktens normer och regler.

VÅRDPERSONALS ATTITYDER MOT PATIENTER MED HIV/AIDS.Emma Svensson & Malin Åslin SAMMANFATTNINGBakgrund: HIV är en sjukdom som är spridd över hela världen med miljontals drabbade människor. Smittan finns i blod, sädesvätska och slidvätska och smittar därför via sexuellt umgänge av alla dess slag samt via blod till blodkontakt exempelvis vid intravenöst missbruk. Ute i samhället bildades tidigt en negativ uppfattning om sjukdomen, och de som har drabbats av den, som än idag sitter kvar. Detta trots att det har gått snart 30 år sedan sjukdomen fick sitt stora genombrott.Syfte: Syftet med studien var att belysa vårdpersonals och studenters/elevers attityder mot patienter med HIV.Metod: Metoden var en systematisk litteraturstudie med artikelsökningar i databaserna PubMed, Cinahl och sökmotorn Google Scholar. 11 artiklar valdes ut för kvalitetsgranskning, totalt nio artiklar analyserades sedan och utgör studiens resultat.

Syfte: Syftet med vår studie är att studera om kapitalkostnaden redovisas och hur den skiljer sig mellan svenska och holländska bolag, samt undersöka vilka faktorer som påverkar den.Metod: Studien har genomförts med en kvantitativ metod, syftet med undersökningen uppfylls genom en deduktiv ansats. I undersökningens empiri ingår observationer av 488 årsredovisningar. I sekundärdata ingår de fyra oberoende variablerna land, år, storlek och soliditet. Multipel regressionsanalys, samt linjär sannolikhetsmodell har använts.Resultat & slutsats: Den multipla regressionsanalysen visar ett signifikant samband mellan den beroende variabeln, vilken procentsats kapitalkostanden redovisas till, och oberoende variablerna storlek och soliditet. Större företag, redovisar en lägre kapitalkostnad, företag med högre soliditet redovisar en högre kapitalkostnad.

Vår produktion består av en speltidning, i både digital och tryckt form, som kretsar runt ett community av skribenter och forumiter. Målet var att skapa en oberoende tidning med fokus på åsikter och upplevelser, där majoriteten av det redaktionella materialet var skrivet av läsare. Vårt arbete gick ut på att formge, illustrera och distribuera denna tidning, men även att söka annonser, utforma en webblösning för kommunikation mellan användarna samt bedriva övrig företagsverksamhet (så som externa beställningsjobb inom media) för att ro i land projektet..

Organic agriculture is financially promoted in Sweden by special environmental support and as consumers we are all encouraged to buy organic food. At the same time scholars at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences claim that organic farming does not provide any environmental benefits. The main criticism is that organic farming has lower yields than conventional, which means that more land is needed to produce the same amount of food as in conventional farming, leading to deforestation and loss of biodiversity. As for climate change, the critics claim that the significantly higher productivity in conventional crop production compared to organic, releases surplus land, which could be used for bio-fuel production and thereby replace the fossil fuels. The critics also claim that organic farming causes higher nutrient leaching than conventional.
