General principles of law can be defined as a legal foundation with the function of codifying basic values. They can also be of a character, which makes them useful as supplement and interpretation of law. EU has developed principles of law that can be divided into general and special. Within the Union there are existences of around twenty general ones. A further separation can be made in terms of institutional and individual.

Detta examensarbete syftar till att observera och diskutera bruket av en pedagogisk praxis som berör populär- och ungdomskultur inom bildämnet. Problemställningen täcker aspekter som den populärkulturella integrationen i dagens bildundervisning, ungdoms-kulturens fördelar och nackdelar i undervisningssammanhang, samt hur bildpedagoger kan närma sig en engagemangspedagogik som på lämpligt sätt drar fördel av populär- och ungdomskultur. Undersökningen som utfördes är en kvalitativ-kvantitativ intervju/enkät som fokuserar på tjugo stycken kommunalt yrkesverksamma lärare. Frågorna berörde punkter som deras föreställningar och resonemang kring den egna praktiken och dess tematiska innehåll och arbetsmetoder, samt vilka professionella värderingar de lägger till begrepp som tradition, ungdomskultur och senmodernitet i koppling till bildundervisning. Studien samlade också in data på lärararnas observationer gällande önskemål och viljor hos elever kring ett populärkulturellt ämnesinnehåll.

Every year begomovirus infections cause severe constraints to the tomato production in Nicaragua. Extensive yield losses are followed by large economical losses, both for the country and the single farmer. During recent years the use of begomovirus resistant or tolerant tomato cultivars has increased in Nicaragua as an effort to improve yields. Still, begomovirus infection is a large threat to the tomato production. Therefore, ongoing work in Nicaragua is focusing on finding new, better, begomovirus tolerant or resistant tomato cultivars.

Transmission of reactive power is well known to cause active power losses. Thus, newcomponents who can help minimizing these expensive reactive power flows are ofgreat interest to the power distribution companies. ABB Corporate Research hasdeveloped the first electronic power breaker. One possible application for thisbreaker is transient-free switching of capacitor banks. This could prove a usefuldistribution voltage complement to the switch-sync technique, mainly applied to transmissionvoltage level.

In the light of the problems the media industry are struggling with, local news reporting is only one of the challenges the news organizations are facing. When local editors is being moved to the cities the tie with the local community is being severed.The aim of this study has been to analyze how the inhabitants of Vilhelmina municipality talks about their experiences of local journalism. With methodological inspiration from the Critical discourse analysis (CDA) this study examined the discourses of local journalism, social media, journalism's role and municipal policy. The theorectical framework consisted theories of media and democracy, convergence culture and discourse theory.The survey was conducted with four focus groups interviews. The focus groups were divided in different cathegories based on the participants experiences, ages and employment.

Mankind faces a serious threat. Its activities, for example the burning of fossil fuels, have led to an enhancement of the greenhouse effect - something that has given rise to a global warming. The climate is becoming warmer, a change that has important effects on the nature as well as for humans and their society. Sea level rising, extreme temperatures are becoming more common, glaciers and other ice caps melt and storms becomes more intense when they appear. The main cause is the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere - carbon dioxide in particular.

The aim of this study is to learn about and demonstrate the process in which Försäkringskassan (The Swedish Social Insurance Agency) customizes texts and the texts linguistics influence on a potential beneficiary. I use three different questions to fulfill the purpose of the study. I examine what the manuals writers of Försäkringskassan use say about the issues of sentence length, addressing the beneficiaries and wording ? three language features that represent different perspectives within plain language research. Furthermore, I examine how decision texts are created and tailored for its beneficiary group and how the language in decisions is perceived by potential beneficiaries.

?Virtuell lek med sand och vatten? är ett projekt i samarbete med HAGS Aneby AB. Syftet med lekredskapet är att reducera barns stillasittande vardag. Genom att koppla samman fysiskt stimulerande lek med möjligheterna inom de virtuella leksaksvärldarna är målet att underlätta övergången mellan de digitala, passiva spelaktiviteterna och mer fysiskt stimulerande aktiviteter. Med utgångspunkt i den klassiska sandlådan ville jag undersöka och utveckla sandlådans potential.

Utgångspunkten och inspirationen för mitt examensarbete var en nyfikenhet på bilderboken som format och objekt. Under sjutton veckor utforskade jag bilderboksformatet genom att skriva, illustrera och formge en egen berättelse. Det konkreta, offentliga, resultatet blev en 28-sidig bilderbok om jordens undergång, ?Noas Hotell?, utgiven på eget förlag. Teoretiskt blev resultatet en grundläggade förståelse för bilderbokens egenart och barnperspektivets viktiga roll (och potential) i bilderboksmediet samt möjligheterna och svårigheterna med att både skriva och illustrera en bilderbok..

Odling av fisk sägs ha en potential att bidra till framtida livsmedelsförsörjning när fiske inte längre täcker behov och efterfrågan. En önskan från svensk sida att vara med i utvecklingen är tydlig i SOU 2009:26 Det växande vattenbrukslandet. Utredningen presenterar strategier för hur en utbyggnad av vattenbruket kan underlättas och påskyndas. Jag saknade en strategi för hur det växande vattenbrukslandet ska styras mot att också bli ett hållbart vattenbruksland. Denna uppsats handlar om hur miljörättsliga regler ska konstrueras för att en växande vattenbruksnäring inte ska medföra en negativ påverkan på naturen.

The present study examines a new production line of glue-laminated wood (glulam). The glulam is produced from non-planed boards of spruce, which also is convex, that is pressed together with high pressure during the gluing. According to a economic calculation, the material has a economical potential mainly on account of the absent planning. The study mainly found out that the shear strength of the material tolerated the demanded values in standard SS-EN 386, but the delaminating values did not. Since there are more areas to be studied around the material, the prospect to achieve the right delamination values is seen as positive..

Title: Territorial identities and fusions- regional identity by interregional fusions Level: Final assignment for Bachelors Degree in Social Science with specialization in Urban and Regional Planning. Major subject: Geography. Author: Mladen Krajisnik Supervisor: Carl-Johan Nordblom Date: 2009 May Intention: The main focus of this study is to verify the existence, or nonexistence, of local and regional identities. Considering the result regarding regional identities, this thesis will continue on to clarify if these identities are to be seemed as a threat or resource during fusions, and if so, how can one best manage these different identities.Method: Only secondary data has been used in this study. I've botanized amongst the literature that processes fusions, impact of culture, identities, regions, territory. Continuing on, the collected empirical resources have been compared to my theory, from which an analysis was able to be spawned and conclusions were drawn.Result & Conclusions: The thesis confirms different regional identities, although it does not treat the subject regarding the inner strength of regions comparing to one another.

Strömstad is a small city located on the Swedish west coast. Urbanization and development is acurrent issue for the municipally, as for many other in the current situation. The municipal housingcompany Strömstadsbyggen is one of the parties involved in the extensive development that mustbe implemented to meet the changes and developments which the issue holds.One area that is of interest in the discussion is Rådhusberget - this due to the existing infrastructureand unique qualities that the area holds. In order to achieve the best solutions possible for the area,Strömstadsbyggen wishes to listen to what the existing tenants at Rådhusberget thinks and feelsregarding the area and its future potential.This thesis has therefore been carried out in collaboration with Strömstadsbyggen and has beenaimed at identifying the current tenants' thoughts and opinions in the existing area of developmentand infill potential.

AbstractLean production has become one common concept within industries to make the work more effective and to meet today?s hard competition. A challenge for Chinese production is the threat from new low cost countries. It will become very difficult to succeed to produce to a lower cost than these countries; this led to that Chinese companies must develop new strategies, according to Lee and Zhou (2000). This will put China in front of new challenges and new strategies can be needed to retain their strong competitive advantages.

TitleSystems, Stability and Power. The Discourse of Information in Organizing Knowledge.AbstractThe aim of this Master's thesis is to inquire into the consequences of an unequal distribution of power between information discourses in the field of knowledge organisation. A deconstruction of Jennifer Rowley's and John Farrows introductory textbook Organizing Knowledge from 2000 is related to the major discourses of information in LIS. Questions posed in this study are: What meaning is ascribed to information in the material studied? Which information discourses are given a dominant position? Which are excluded? and: How does this affect the construction of the library and information science student's identity, in relation to practices of knowledge organisation? The theoretical framework is provided by Ernesto Laclau's and Chantal Mouffe's theory of discourse and combined with techniques for text analysis originating from the work of Norman Fairclough.The analysis reveals a strong domination of a cognitive discourse of information that underlines the importance of information systems for the organisation of knowledge.
