Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion, OTEC, a technology using the temperature difference between cold deep seawater and warm surface water, can extract the work in the form of electricity. OTEC gives also synergies of drinkable fresh water. The temperature difference has an impact on the efficiency of the technology, which means that the feasibility of OTEC is geographically limited. The project intends to explore the possibility of replacing the atoll Tarawa?s present electricity generation with an OTEC plant and to explore synergies. In the present situation all of Tarawa?s electricity is generated by fossil fuels.

Kundval innebär att kunder, som är i behov av en vara, en tjänst eller någon form av service, ges större inflytande och får större möjlighet att påverka verksamheten de är beroende av. Kundvalsmodeller införs i snabb takt idag i flera kommuner och landsting. Lagen Om Valfrihet (LOV) som infördes 1 januari 2009 underlättar denna utveckling. Idag har de kunder som har behov av hemtjänst möjlighet att välja utförare i de kommuner som valt att införa LOV. När nu kommunerna i framtiden ska möta den konkurrens som de kommer att utsättas för i och med LOV, är det intressant att titta på vad de kunder som i dagsläget har möjligheter till valfrihet anser om denna.Mitt syfte var att göra en undersökning av brukarmodellen som används i Bodens kommun.

Uppsatsen undersöker hur personalen på Eknäs ungdomshem upplever rättvisa på sin arbetsplats. I undersökningen deltog 31st anställda varav 15st män och 16st kvinnor. På arbetsplatsen finns en hög sjukfrånvaro och hög personalomsättning som kan leda till ökad upplevelse av orättvisa. Trots detta har de anställda ingen utbredd upplevelse av total eller allmän orättvisa, vissa saker upplevs mer rättvist medan andra saker upplevs mer orättvist. Personal upplever sig orättvist behandlade i situationer som härrör till ansträngning, de tycker inte de får de resurser de förtjänar eller kan påverka sin situation när de anstränger sig utöver det normala på arbetsplatsen.

This essay is about two Swedish folk musicians, Anders Rosén and Leif Stinnerbom, who have been playing two important rolls in the developing process of Swedish folk music, on their separate ways. The main part of this work is focused on the era called ?The Folk Music Vogue?, which was the era when my informants were in the limelight on the Swedish fiddler scene of the 70s.Our music culture is constantly lying under the change of progress and I find it interesting to reflect how these kinds of changes are affecting the role of the musician.In this essay I am reflecting on the different perspectives of the musicianship according to my informants and how they both are referring to their role as musicians. The purpose is further on to see how they have been relating to the change of progress on the field of the Swedish folk music during the 70s and up to this date. Throughout interviews with the informants I am analyzing their personal relationship to their life as folk musicians.

Dagens jord- och skogsägare står inför ett kommande ägarskifte då cirka en fjärdedel av Sveriges jord- och skogsägare är över 60 år gamla. Marknadspriserna och insatsvarorna har ökat kraftigt den senaste perioden. Allt fler banker har valt att finansiera lån till jord- och skogsbruksägare då säkerheten är stabil och lönsamheten god. En generellt försämrad lönsamhet inom jord- och skogsbruket har lett till att bankerna kommer ställa hårdare krav när belåning sker. Dagens generation skiljer sig ifrån den äldre då de är lyhörda och har möjlighet att byta bank över en natt.

The OMX-case entailed considerable uncertainty about the relationship between tax treaties and Swedish domestic law. Previous approaches to handle rule conflict between them was put out of action for the first time when an internal rule took precedence over tax treaties. The Greece-case came a few years later where there were hopes that it would be decided in plenary session to return to the view that prevailed before the OMX-case, which did not happen. Instead the Supreme Administrative Court ruled that the tax treaties shall in principle be given preference, but that in exceptional situations tax treaties can be infringed to an internal rule's benefit, so called tax treaty override. Such procedure is acceptable if the legislature gives "clear expression" of the intention of a certain type of income is to be taxed in Sweden, or that a particular new rule applies regardless of the provisions in tax treaties.The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the supreme administrative courts management of rule collision between domestic law and tax treaties in the Greece-case.

Inom kort kommer mycket stora arealer skogsmark att byta ägare. En äldre generation kommer lämna över till en yngre som i högre utsträckning har jobb utanför skogssektorn och som bor längre ifrån fastigheten. För att Mellanskog ska vara en attraktiv skoglig partner även för den nya generationen och erbjuda vad de behöver är det viktigt att veta vilka förväntningar och krav de har på skogen och skogsägarföreningen. Denna undersökning vände sig till dagens äldre medlemmar (> 70 år) i Mellanskog men framförallt till deras barn. Målet var att besvara följande frågeställningar: ? Finns det skillnader i föräldrarnas respektive barnens avsikter att behålla skogen inom familjen? ? Vilka eventuella problem ser barnen med skogsägande och vilka hinder ligger i vägen för att de ska ta över skogen? ? Vilka produkter och/eller tjänster kommer bli viktigast för framtidens skogsägare? Drygt 700 medlemmar kontaktades och 262 lämnade ut sina barns fullständiga kontaktuppgifter.

This thesis is about developing a design that provides improved vacuum seal between a lead coating and a plastic coating during plastic extrusion processes of cables. This report is a part of the course MSGC 17 for Bachelor Engineers in mechanical engineering.The work is performed at Nexans Norway AS in Halden where they have a production of high voltage cables for sea-, and offshore industry. A problem they face is that they do not get enough good seal at the attachment to the plastic extrusion machine. They want to achieve a vacuum between a lead coating on the cable and a plastic coating of the cable for plastic extrusion, which is something they do not achieve today. The thesis is thus to come up with a design that provides better sealing against the cable.The work involves a construction part with the phases of product development processes.

ABSTRACT Title (English): New technologies, same needs? A qualitative research of media usage in two generations, in the light of modern uses and gratifications research Title (original): Ny teknik, samma behov? En kvalitativ undersökning av två generationers mediebruk i ljuset av den moderna bruks- och belöningsforskningen Language: Swedish  Author: Frida Ivansson Tutor: Sven Ross Course: Media and Communication Studies, Bachelor's Thesis.  Period: Spring term 2013 University: Department of Journalism, Media and Communication (JMK) atStockholm University Purpose/Aim: The purpose of this paper is to, in the light of todays uses and gratification research, highlight the differences in media use in adolescents and adults. I focus on the informants' television viewing and I compare this cross-generational, and in relation to other media use. Material/Method: The method I used in this thesis is qualitative interviews. My choice fell on this method because I believe it to be the most suitable for obtaining the data needed.

The Employment Protection Act (1982:80) provides provisions regarding priority of re-employment. A few cases where these provisions have been subject to examination, have been discussed thoroughly in SOU 2014:55. In these cases the Labour Court has identified the question whether the provisions regarding priority of re-employment can be subject to circumvention in an illegal manner. The Labour Court has stated that it would be incompatible with the sense of justice if the provisions could be circumvented to the detriment of employees entitled to priority of re-employment. However, the Labour Court stated that certain conditions have to be imposed for the assessment.After analysis of the conditions, it is established that they are deemed to cause major difficulties for employees, why it is held that the purpose and the function of the conditions are not achieved. The purpose of the essay is therefore to investigate whether the application of the conditions imposed by the Labour Court, need to undergo modifications to meet the underlying purpose of the creation of the conditions.By reason of the difficulty with the conditions, the essay provides three different amendments in which two of the amendments are ascertained to not contribute to such an improvement that they should actually be applied.

Uppsatsens syfte var att beskriva hur arbetsterapeuter resonerar kliniskt vid bedömning av arbetsförmåga hos personer med neuropsykiatriska funktionsnedsättningar. För denna studie användes en kvalitativ ansats. Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med fem arbetsterapeuter som jobbar mot arbetsmarknaden. Frågeområdena inspirerades av clinical reasoning ?three track mind? där procedural, interactive och conditional reasoning utgör de tre olika tankemönstren.Resultatet redovisades i fyra kategorier och ett övergripande tema som beskriver arbetsterapeuternas kliniska resonemang: Att forma en frågeställning, Att välja bedömningsmetod, Att utforma en slutrapport och Yrkeskompetens.

På senare år har man i dags- och fackpress kunnat läsa om att den yngre generationen som äntrar arbetsmarknaden är ovilliga att ta chefsjobb. Man har kunnat läsa om att de som faktiskt gör det har sämre hälsa, är mer stressade och saknar befogenheter i högre grad än äldre chefer. Unga chefers ledarskap skiljer sig från traditionellt ledarskap och unga ställer andra krav på sin arbetssituation och på chefsrollen. Unga människor födda mellan slutet av 70- och 90-talet har helt andra värderingar än äldre som värdesatte hårt arbete, sparande och trygghet i livet.Generation Y, som den unga generationen har kommit att kallas, uppskattar fritid och frihet allt högre. De har kallats lata, bortskämda och krävande men också välutbildade, ambitiösa och socialt ansvarstagande.
