In metropolitan areas where the exploitation pressure increases, also the importance to point out nature areas grows, both for the sake of outdoor life and for biodiversity conservation. Since nature conservancy and spatial planning constitute two different parts of the municipalities land use control, a case study has been carried out in two municipalities in the Stockholm region, Huddinge and Järfälla. Both these municipalities have protected about one third of their land and today there are plans to repeal parts of the reserves to enable exploitation. This thesis shows ? from the theoretical concept of sustainable development ? officials, politicians and non-governmental organizations perspectives on questions concerning land use together with the work with nature reserves and repeals.

Uppsatsen behandlar payoffbegreppets användning vid privatekonomiska beslut. Författaren visar att privatekonomi och företagsekonomi, två oförenliga paradigm, begreppsmässigt förväxlas och blandas samman i energibranschen Företagsekonomiska abstraktioner utan konkreta motsvarigheter i privatekonomisk praxis skapar osäkerhet, förvirring och tvekan. De aktörer och kunder som undviker paradigmatisk sammanblandning och fokuserar privatekonomiska begrepp går oberörda förbi de svårigheter som annars väntar. Nyckelord: Lönsamhet, payoff, abstraktioner, mentala konstruktioner, privatekonomiska begrepp, företagsekonomiska begrepp, fenomenografi, argumentationsanalys, paradigm..

This master thesis summarizes contemporary theories on secularization processes in the Western world, and compares these with the example of Sweden, which by many scholars is considered to be the most secularized country in the Western world.I do this by dividing the most influential theorists in five different groups. In each group I explain how the theorists formulate and motivate their positions. These groups are:1) The secularization paradigm, where secularization always accompanies modernization. (Therorists: Steve Bruce and Peter Berger (in the 1960s)2) The paradigm basically accepted, but revised to depend on existential security, rather than modernisation as such. (Pippa Norris and Ronald Inglehart)3) Religion returned in the public sphere.

This essay recognizes and criticizes a commonly held assumption that Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) functions as a ?savings account of trust? between corporations and consumers. Based on five focus group interviews, the authors discuss how corporations that engage in society can sometimes raise and sometimes destroy the trust of potential consumers. One of our main findings is that CSR seems to raise the expectations among consumers. We then compare this phenomenon with the classical theory of the disconfirmation paradigm.

Två grundläggande paradigm inom datavetenskap är objektorienterad programmering och relationsdatabasteknik. En kombinering av applikationer gjorda i ett objektorienterat programmeringsspråk med den beständighet och funktionalitet som ges av relationsdatabaser är en möjlig vidareutveckling av ens kunskaper inom dessa områden. Kombinationen av dessa båda förutnämnda paradigm innebär åtminstone ett problem som uppkommer då en relationsdatabas lagrar data i tabeller och en objektorienterad applikation lagrar data i objekt. Detta problem kallas objekt/relations paradigmens missanpassning. På grund av detta problem så måste kopplingen mellan paradigmen skötas av ett ramverk av något slag.

Altmetrics, a subfield of informetrics, is still in development. The aim of this thesis is to explore; the significance altmetrics may have in the LIS field, and to define the new perspectives altmetrics offer in comparison to traditional metrics. The research questions are:- How can altmetrics affect research assessment?- How does altmetrics position itself towards traditional metrics?- How could altmetrics influence the LIS field?A qualitative content analysis was used as a method. The analysis of a sample of ten peer reviewed articles was based on a coding scheme with eleven codes.

Datainsamlingen har skett genom intervjuer hos tvåstorbanker och det har resulterat i kvalitativ data som belyser riskbedömning, hur arbetet efteren säkerhetspolicy sker samt hur de strukturerat informationssäkerhetsarbetet gällande rutinersom storbankerna arbetar utefter samt hur organisationsstrukturen ser ut.

This essay describes the philosophy of science that Thomas Kuhn puts forth in his work The Structure of Scientific Revolutions. The question is, does his description of the scientific paradigm work as well today as in the examples he gave in the book?The conclusion is that there are certain factors that make for a number of differences between science today and, for example in the seventeenth century. There is also a growing theory or vision of a post normal science laid developed by among others Jerome Ravetz. This theory or vision is an idea of a science close to peer-communities and fast as well as critical decisions involving opposite values..

Bakgrund och problematisering: Tidigare forskning visar att f?retag g?tt fr?n att motverka h?llbarhetsreglering till att de idag leder utvecklingen av den. ESG-information som innefattar milj?, samh?llsansvar och bolagsstyrning ?r en viktig del i h?llbarhetsredovisning samt i kommunikationen med f?retagets intressenter. Nya direktiv fr?mjar h?llbarhetsredovisning och frivilliga ramverk underl?ttar redovisningen av ESG-information. H?llbarhetsredovisning ?r viktigt f?r f?retag, s?rskilt i en s?dan milj?p?verkande bransch som bilmarknaden, f?r att kunna p?visa legitimitet och f? ?kad konkurrenskraft.
