I en tid där hållbar utveckling nått stor genomslagskraft världen över samtidigt som en allt större kritik växt fram mot hållbarhetsbegreppets potential har syftet med den här uppsatsen varit att försöka utmana den kritiken. Forskare menar att begreppet är vagt och saknar innebörd (Davidson 2010), att de tre dimensionerna av hållbarhet tenderar att resultera i ekologi och miljötekniska lösningar (Vallance m fl. 2012), samt att begreppet gett upphov till en allmän definition som är svår att ifrågasätta (Swyngedouw 2010). För att besvara studiens syfte och frågeställningar har Norra Djurgårdsstaden valts som fall och kvalitativa intervjuer har genomförts med tjänstemän på Stockholms stad, byggherrar och boende i området. Undersökningen har kunnat konstatera att projektet Norra Djurgårdsstaden både kunnat bekräfta och utmana kritiken mot hållbarhetsbegreppet.

This paper is an account of the inventory I've made of documents in the archive at Museum Gustavianum, Collections storage Husbyborg, relating to the excavations in Asine, Greece, in the 1920s. The aim of this inventory has been to establish which of the documents in the Husbyborg archives that belong to the department of Classical Studies at Uppsala University. Documents belonging to other archives have been found alongside the one mentioned above and those are the Original documentation (loan from Carolina) and the personal archive of Professor Axel W. Persson. The documents have been arranged according to the General Archive Scheme (Allmänna arkivschemat) seeing that the department of Classical Studies already had a series named Documents relating to the departments archeological collections, and the inventory I've made will be incorporated with that.

To establish sustainability reports is an increasing trend for more and more companies. This has led to a spread of the international framework Global reporting initiative, GRI, guidelines to make a sustainability reports. This trend has got a lot of critics from various stakeholders who believe that companies in these reports communicate the information in a way of window dressing. Both negative and positive information has to be represented according to GRI: s principle of balance.  Window dressing is created by adding a greater emphasis on the positive information. The researchers review the context of the negative information to study the extent to which it is reported and whether there are patterns and variations in the reported information.

Inom militär flygindustri är produktdatahantering i produktlivscykeln och utveckling av logistikstöd centrala områden för att hantera krav och kostnader. Senaste strategin för dessa utmaningar grundar sig i modellbaserat konstruktionsunderlag ? model-based definition (MBD). I detta perspektiv står disciplinen teknikinformation inför förändringsarbetet att utnyttja möjligheterna med MBD. Förbättringar i presentationsmetod för illustrationer och effektivare arbetsmetoder för produktion förväntas.Detta förändringsarbete undersöktes genom en fallstudie av Saabs konceptutveckling för teknikinformation till stridsflygplanet Gripen NG.

Slaughter of animals should consist of two steps in order to be considered humane. The first step of the slaughter process is stunning, with the purpose of inducing unconsciousness and insensibility in the animal. The second step is exsanguination, which causes bleeding and eventually death. What death really means in these situations has been discussed intensively, but still no agreed definition has been accepted. Nonetheless, it is conceded that animals are declared dead when consciousness is irreversibly lost, and absence of respiration and blood circulation are observed.

Recently there have been a lot of talk a about the financial crisis and recession. This is understandable since the crisis, which initially was limited to the U.S. now has spread its concern globally in form of bankruptcies, less investment and lots of people have lost here jobs. The purpose of this thesis is to examine how the financial crisis have affected the construction industry relating to market and personnel, but also examine what measures the construction companies have taken. The examination was carried out by information received from the majority of construction-related websites which then was followed up with interviews in the various construction sectors.

At present Getinge can offer a new generation of trolleys that they produced in 2011. The trolley used to Getinge various autoclaves and has the primary task to help the user/sterilization personnel to transport shelves or baskets, with or without cargo, from a packing table to the autoclave. The purpose of this thesis has been to develop a primary solution how the docking process between Getinge trolleys and autoclaves can be improved. The work has in most part followed Fredy Olsson principle and primary construction method. The work has included product research, study visit and development of a requirements specification, to satisfy Getinge, their clients and circumvention products requirements.

Europeiska Unionen (EU) arbetar bland annat med att förebygga diskriminering mellan medlemsstaterna. Diskriminering kan förekomma när en person från en medlemsstat väljer att etablera sig i en annan medlemsstat. Diskriminering föreligger när två liknande situationer behandlas olika, vilket även är innebörden av likhetsprincipen som tillämpas när dessa situationer ska fastställas. En särbehandling kan bero på nationalitet eller hemvist. Diskriminering på grund av nationalitet benämns som öppen diskriminering och en särbehandling som grundas på hemvist kallas för dold diskriminering.

By the same time as the recent enlargement of the European Union, where Poland became a member, it was officially stated that the gender mainstreaming-policy was to be integrated into every area of EU. NGO:s working as entrepreneurs for the gender mainstreaming norm in Poland supported the accession largely because they believed it would help spreading the norm also on a national level. Qualitatively analyzing the Polish case and the difficulties gender mainstreaming as a norm candidate meets with I contrast expectations with what could actually be EU:s role in this matter.Arguing that EU is a context with room for spreading norms by both bargaining and socialization, this paper takes a social constructivist approach. Gender mainstreaming as a norm is difficult for EU to apply on their members, and thus was not widely discussed during accession negotiations. In the same time.

I en demokratiskt rättsstat som Sverige ska inte myndigheterna ges godtyckliga befogenheter utan detta ska klart och tydligt framgå av lag. Legalitetsprincipen och föreskriftskravet sätter gränser för detta då de måste ha lagstöd i sin myndighetsutövning. Då myndigheter fattar integritetskränkande beslut mot enskild måste det föregås av en noggrann proportionalitetsavvägning mellan myndighetens kontrollintresse och den enskildes skyddsintresse. Åtgärden måste således stå i proportion till ändamålet. Skatteförfarandet avseende tredjemansrevision är ett omdiskuterat förfarande.

Arlanda airport is Sweden?s largest airport. The demand for comfort cooling of the airport?s buildings is high and is mainly provided by district cooling. District cooling is based on the same principle as district heating.

Syftet med detta examensarbete var att utvärdera användbarheten hos gränssnitten i FDT Avance. Utvärderingen utfördes med hjälp av en enkät som baserades på Nielsens (1993) definition av användbarhet och Nielsen & Macks (1994) heuristiker. Resultaten visade att graden av användbarhet kan anses vara god. Vidare visade resultaten på de viktigaste heuristikerna och de viktigaste användbarhetskomponenterna, samt vilka aspekter hos gränssnitten i FDT Avance som kan behöva modifieras. .

Betydelsen för redovisning av immateriella tillgångar har på senare tid kommit att öka. Det beror mycket på att det anglosaxiska synsättet, som kräver att finansiella rapporter skall ge en rättvisande bild, har blivit allt mer utbrett. Immateriella tillgångar kan klassificeras i olika grupper, en av dem är intellektuella tillgångar som innefattar varumärken, patent och upphovsrätter. År 2005 infördes IAS-förordningen i Sverige. Det innebar att alla koncerner skulle tillämpa IFRS/IAS i sin redovisning.

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate if a transfer restriction in a conveyance of real property for consideration is legally binding. In doctrine the legal situation is described as unclear. It will also be investigated if the restriction is binding in relation to the acquirer´s creditors and in relation to a new owner of the property.A transfer restriction in a conveyance of real property for consideration is legally binding between the parties and in relation to a new owner of the property. Even though the restriction is binding between the parties and in relation to a new owner, it is not binding in relation to the acquirer´s creditors. The Supreme Court has stated that it is a general legal principle that a transfer restriction in a conveyance for consideration is not binding in relation to the acquirer´s creditors.In this thesis it will also be argued that the legal situation is inconsequent.

Self-archiving as a way to provide open access to research publications is gaining ground in the area of scholarly publishing. An increasing number of research funders and universities are mandating open access for output associated with their research, which calls for evaluation of the effects of the phenomenon.This two years master?s thesis aims to investigate researchers? experiences of self-archiving. A qualitative web survey was conducted and answered by 41 researchers from several different countries, and a vast majority of the respondents concur with the principle of open access. Although self-archiving shows not to be a guarantee of increased impact for the single researcher, the study shows that might be the case.
