Energy is an important issue in the current world which significantly affects sustainability and development. Energy generation and use are major sources of CO2 emissions which is one of the most important driving factors in global climate changes. The amount of energy used in house hold section can lead to estimation of the amount of CO2 emitted within this section which subsequently would be a ground to better management and maintaining a sustainable society. This study which is a bachelor?s project in sustainable energy, deals with estimation of CO2 emission from different types of residential houses in Sweden. An extensive literature review on energy use in Sweden by different residential sectors has been conducted.

Denna uppsats handlar om öppna förskolan, en verksamhet för barn och föräldrar som vissa kommuner väljer att tillhandahålla. Trots att verksamheten funnits drygt 30 år, är den sparsamt utforskad. Uppsatsarbetet har därför inriktats mot ett explorativt sökande efter olika föreställningar om öppna förskolan. Föreställningarna har på formuleringsarenan eftersökts i tryckta källor, och på realiseringsarenan genom en etnografiskt inspirerad fältstudie i två öppna förskolor. Syftet har varit att uppnå förståelse för arenornas föreställningar om öppna förskolan och hur dessa föreställningar förhåller sig till varandra.

Arbetet behandlar idrotts- och evenemangsarenors lämpliga lokalisering i staden i förhållande till dess funktioner och effekter..

I denna rapport tar vi upp ansvarsfrågan kring säkerhetsarbetet vid Luleå Hockeys hemmamatcher i Coop arena. Vi har genom att studera lagtext, intervjua företrädare från polisen, Luleå Hockey och LuleåFans, Luleå Hockeys supporterklubb, försökt skapa oss en bild av dels hur det juridiska ansvaret fördelas och dels hur samarbetet fungerar de olika aktörerna emellan. Enligt ordningslagen har Luleå Hockey ansvaret för säkerheten i Coop arena. Polisen är alltid närvarande vid matcher och har även extra bevakning vid derbymatcher mellan Luleå Hockey och Skellefteå AIK. Denna bevakning behöver dock inte Luleå Hockey betala något för eftersom de är en ideell förening.

Detta examensarbete syftar till att skapa en ökad förståelse för skolan som arena för att främja allsidiga kontakter och en levande social gemenskap samt att undersöka hur pedagoger och rektorer uppfattar och tolkar skollagens och läroplanens direktiv om detta uppdrag. Utgångspunkten i undersökningen ligger i kvalitativa intervjuer med pedagoger och rektorer från två högstadieskolor. Vid intervjuerna undersöks hur den levande sociala gemenskapen prioriteras och definieras, hur man arbetar med att utveckla den och vilka som är den sociala gemenskapens arenor på skolorna. De intervjuade är alla överens om att förutsättningarna för en levande social gemenskap börjar med goda relationer mellan lärare och elever och att den levande sociala gemenskapen är en förutsättning för att skolan ska vara en fungerande institution. I undersökningen framgår att alla informanter är på det klara med vad styrdokumenten beskriver rörande de sociala relationerna utan att de för den skull har en bild som överensstämmer med varandra.

AbstractThe aim of this study was to highlight who represents elderly immigrants and apply the theory of social exclusion. We chose channels for representation that we found important in relation to this group. The first part is a study of available litterature of the subject. We found three main arenas: participation in elections, participation in associations and clubs and representation in political institutions. The findings showed a democratic deficit among elderly immigrants, which gave an indication of social exclusion from the political arena and from participation in associations.For the second part we decided to concentrate on the arena of participation in associations and clubs that represent the elderly and/or immigrants.

  Elitidrott kan klassas som underhållning och konkurrerar därför med andra serviceaktiviteter som att gå på bio eller restaurang. Det är viktigt att få många nöja besökare till en idrottsarena. Ett sätt att göra detta är att leverera hög servicekvalitet. Vad innebär servicekvalitet under ett arenabesök? Vad förväntar sig åskådarna på en av MODO Hockeys hemmamatcher i Swedbank Arena? Syftet med denna uppsats är att utifrån ett servicemarketing perspektiv söka närma oss vad som innebär servicekvalitet för arenabesökare på en hockeymatch i Swedbank Arena i Örnsköldsvik.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) refers to adjusting corporate goals so that they are not only based on maximizing corporate profits, but include ethical standards on socially desirable behavior (Boatright, 2008). Even though many companies have integrated CSR into their business operations, there are still many issues that are difficult to tackle. Especially Multinational Corporations (MNCs) in the global business environment face many challenging situations due to the fact that they often have linkages to countries where the local government is either unwilling or unable to take care of its responsibilities. MNCs often find themselves with increased responsibilities when they start solving some of the issues that earlier have been the sole responsibility of states. A specific case situation discussed in this paper is related to ?conflict minerals?.

An important task for project managers in multi-project environments is to effectively choose the right people to the project team. For organizations, it means being able to prioritize and plan human resources among the various projects running in parallel. The purpose of this paper is to describe how a project manager in multi-project environments looks at the allocation of people in their projects. We did our research through literature reviews and interviews with seven project managers.The research shows that the studied organizations highlight both the expertise and the personal factors in an election. They do not use any specific personality test to identify their staff.

In this study thoughts of the individual?s right to equality are considered. By using critical ideology analysis the central tools of the study are strongly connected with thoughts of representation, equality, individual and collective rights, equal opportunities and possibilities and discrimination. In critical ideology analysis nothing can be automatically visible to us and critical ideology analysis is a method as well as a theory.A central point in this study is to investigate whether there are oppositional views or unanimity in the debate of affirmative action. The debate is still under ?construction?, which means that the debate has not yet come up with a solution to the problems of discrimination.

For almost a century the debate about women as ordained servants in the Church of Sweden has raged on and on. The decision to open up the priesthood for both genders in 1958 was a milestone in the women?s liberation movement as well as it marks an important time in the church history. The debate has mainly been about how to interpret scripture, who has the right to do so, and so on. Feminist theology has become one way in recent decades to paint a wider and more nuanced picture of history and how to interpret the texts often used to repress women.This essay surveys some of the steps towards that decision, as well as it paints a rough picture of what leadership among women in the church could involve before ordination became an option.
