Public health focuses on interventions related to physical activity during leisure and at work under conditions where health care is offered during working hours. Increased physical activity offers many positive effects on health in general and reduces the risk for most injuries and illnesses. Female cleaners represent a profession that is largely composed of women at high risk of overload injury and rarely participate in wellness initiatives offered at workplace. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of 20 minutes of daily physical exercise for 10 weeks of intervention for healthy female cleaners. A total of 40 female cleaners in a larger organization participated in the study and were divided in into an intervention group and a control group.

Never before have so many moved so frequently as now. Mobility lies at the centre for the concern ofstates, business and technological development. Some even claim that we are witnessing a mobility turn inthe social sciences. However, as the capacity to move has increased so too has the control and surveillanceof mobility become more extensive. Since September 11, 2001 security has been the defining paradigm fora variety for actors.

The purpose of this study is to explore the factors affecting an individual's working life mobility and how this mobility is perceived by the individual. The study has a qualitative approach and the theoretical part is based on Castells', Giddens' and Bauman's theories of modern society and employment in relation to the individual. The study concludes that external circumstances in combination with internal driving forces are the reasons behind changing careers. The process is predominantly perceived as positive, especially education tends to strengthen self-identity. Work in general is regarded as important for a person's identity and new career changes are expected in the future..

Ett av dagens stora miljöproblem är den ökande växthuseffekten. Användningen av fossila bränslen stiger varje år, industri, elproduktion och bostadsuppvärmning står för tre fjärdedelar av den totala förbrukningen i världen. Den sista fjärdedelen bidrar biltrafiken med genom dess användning av fossila bränslen som drivmedel. Sveriges regering har satt upp mål om att Sverige ska minska sina utsläpp av växthusgaser med 4 % under perioden 2008-2012, i förhållande till utsläppsnivån 1990. Målet beräknas dock bli svårt att uppnå, främst på grund av ökande utsläpp från trafiksektorn.

Between 1750 and 1850 the population of Sweden doubled. The increase was very unequally distributed among the different social groups of the rural population. The number of peasants grew very little, while the numbers of the landless (crofters, bordars etc.) more than quadrupled. This study examines whether Christer Winberg's thesis of the landless growth can be applied to Björklinge parish in Uppland. Winberg believes that it was mainly children of tenant farmers who became landless.

Frågeställning: Vilken typ av människor har störst benägenhet att ändra sina resvanor?Vilka marknadsföringsstrategier är bäst lämpade för att få Eskilstunas invånare att ändra sina attityder och beteenden så att de väljer mer hållbara resealternativ?Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är att presentera marknadsföringsåtgärder som Eskilstuna kommun kan använda sig av för att främja hållbart resande samt att redogöra vilka målgrupper dessa åtgärder bör riktas mot.Metod: Vi valde att göra en kombinerad kvantitativ och kvalitativ studie. Kvantitativ data har vi hämtat från sekundärkällor i form av tidigare undersökningar som är gjorda i Eskilstuna och andra jämförbara kommuner i Sverige. Primärdata i denna studie är kvalitativ och kommer från intervjuer med olika personer som jobbar med att främja hållbart resande. Teorin och empirin vävdes sedan samman till en analys.Slutsats: I slutsatsen presenterar vi vilka målgrupper som är intressanta att arbeta med samt med vilka marknadsföringsåtgärder vi anser att Eskilstuna kommun bäst kan nå dem.

Due to the new demands put upon combat vehicles of today the development quickly strives for-ward. With developers and experts across the globe working to meet the needs of tomorrows armies. The question we ask ourselves is what will be the characteristics of these vehicles. In order to be able to categorize combat vehicle and analyze its characteristics we use the principles of war. Based on J.F.C Fullers theory from the early 19 hundreds that anything can be analysed using these principles, through a modern interpretation of the Swedish army, we can categorise the present and future abilities of combat vehicles.

Idag lever 80 procent av Europas befolkning i urbana miljöer. Städerna står för 70 ? 80 % av energianvändningen i EU och står för lika stor andel av växthusgasutsläppen. Transporter är helt nödvändiga och viktiga för staden och samhället, men är också källan till trängsel och miljöproblem i våra städer, så som lokala luftföroreningar, utarmning av icke förnybara fossila bränslen, fragmentering av öppna ytor med vägar, växande förorter samt nedbrytning av stadsdelars livskvalitet. Inom dagens stadsplanering ses transporter som en viktig del i styrningen mot en hållbar stadsutveckling och det är allmänt erkänt att det finns ett behov av att hantera efterfrågan på resor. Denna studie visar på att infrastrukturutbyggnaden är en viktig del i att ge goda förutsättningar för hållbara transportslag, emellertid kan den fysiska strukturen enbart hantera en del av trafikproblemen.

The main intention with this thesis is to investigate the relationship between dividends and investments. We hypothesize that firms may be forced to cut back on investments if dividends are not curtailed in times of poor annual earnings. According to contemporary theories, we argue that firms may be reluctant to cut back on dividends even when annual earnings decline and the level of investments will consequently be determined by the financial mobility of companies. The survey is carried out by means of a quantitative analysis, which includes all firms quoted on the exchange of Stockholm from 1980 through 2000. On the contrary of previous research, we conclude that even firms with high dividends can be forced to curtail investments if payouts to shareholders are maintained or increased when companies are faced with a decline in annual earnings..

During the time I've attended the programme to become a Transportation manager, I've been presented with quite a large number of different words. My purpose with this paper is to take a closer look at them, and see if they're sustainable concepts. This paper will be a literary study, and be on a wholly theoretical level. After a thorough examination of the various words, I've come to the conclusion that these words that I've chosen aren't just fad-words. They're going to be around for quite a while, this due to the fact that they're based on good ideas from the get-go.

Syfte: Att testa hypotesen om effektiva marknader. Denna uppsats avser att undersöka effektiviteten i samband med att ny insiderinformation tillfaller den svenska aktiemarknaden.Metod: Kvantitativ studie som via en deduktiv forskningsansats ska teori pröva effektiva marknadshypotesen. Med en eventstudie som statistisk metod försöka mäta effekterna av en specifik händelse. Genomsnittlig avkastning samt ackumulerande genomsnittlig avkastning beräknas och signifikanstestas utifrån formulerade hypoteser.Teoretisk referensram: Givet syftet för uppsatsen tillämpas effektiva marknadshypotesen för att analysera empiriska resultat.Empiri och resultat: Kvantitativ data har använts i form av avkastningen för 35 börsnoterade bolag under 11 dagar, vilka främst redovisas genom tabeller och grafer.Slutsats: Resultaten påvisar inget samband mellan information om insynshandel och överavkastning på kort sikt. Resultaten från studien tyder på att det inte går att imitera insynspersoners handel och genom detta skapa en överavkastning.
