The purpose of the following essay has been to identify four men?s momentums of their volunteer access to treatment for their disruptive gender-based violence. The questions that have been asked in the entrance of this field have been divided into the following questions: (i) is it possible to identify the processes of change that leads to turning points into the interviewed men's treatment of violence, (ii) how do the interviewed men, themselves, reflect on their turning points into treatment, and (iii) are there other, implicit, interpretations and analyzes of men's access into treatment that I can discern in their stories? As a point of departure of the analysis one theoretical perspective has been used to explain and analyze men?s access to treatment, the sociological life course perspective, focusing on the concept of turning points.The method to approach this field has been qualitative interviews with a life story oriented approach which means that, focus has been to let the four interviewed men describe their lives from early childhood to their adulthood and from their histories identify contingent processes to their access of treatment. The study resulted in a division of two parts, one part consisting the processes that have been identified by the men?s stories of present tense of violent outbursts.

Officialservitut är en rättighet där en fastighet får nyttja annans fastighet för ett speciellt behov. Sådana servitut bildas genom beslut av lantmäterimyndigheten eller domstolen. När ett servitut inte längre behövs eller används för en fastighet förfaller det inte automatiskt. Om servitutet inte upphävs blir det onyttigt. Idag finns det många onyttiga servitut som belastar fastighetsregistret och på så sätt även förrättningsverksamheten.Syftet med det här arbetet är att öka kunskapen om onyttiga officialservitut samt att bidra till att på sikt minska förekomsten av belastande officialservitut.

New forms of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have become more influential in development contexts. The concept of ?The Digital Divide? points at a large division between rich and poor countries regarding access to ICTs. Critics say that the debate concerning this topic for far too long has focused mainly on the technology itself rather than social factors which impact social inclusion and development. Scholars agree that ICTs holds a tremendous potential, but how is this implemented in development contexts and how can it be used with more sensitivity towards local preconditions and social aspects?This paper aims to examine how ICTs are being used in the context of development within an India based organisation for women called SEWA (Self Employed Women?s Association).

Bakgrund och problemGMAB grundades 1988 som en avknoppning av dåvarande Division Värmepumpar frånGötaverken Energy Systems, som då ingick i Celsiuskoncernen. 1998 förvärvades GMAB avSjätte AP- fonden vilka blev de enda ägarna. GMAB var vid tillfället för förvärvet mitt uppe iett stort projekt. Projektet innebar en leverans till Umeå. Umeåprojektet fick GMAB order pååret innan Sjätte AP-fonden förvärvade företaget.

Skogsfastighetsmarknaden var tidigare reglerad så att priserna på fastigheterna inte alltid kunnats anse som marknadsvärden. När marknaden sedan avreglerades under början av 1990-talet steg fastighetspriserna kraftigt. Utvecklingen var intressant då den faktor som tidigare varit den starkast prispåverkande faktorn, virket och värdet av detta, inte alltid följde samma utveckling som fastighetspriserna vilket lett till ett gap.Detta gap har i forskningen kommit att kallats den icke-monetära nyttan, en del som inte genererade några pengar likt skogen. Tidigare forskning har fastställt att denna nytta kan bestå av äganderätt-, affektions-, natur- och rekreationsvärden samt att dessa nyttor varierar kraftigt mellan olika köpare, och hur de värderar dem. Hur en värderare då ska fastställa ett marknadsvärde när en sådan stor del av värdet utgörs av en kraftigt varierande faktor är väldigt intressant.Denna studie har därför utrett hur värderare tar hänsyn till dessa icke-monetära nyttor i sin bedömning av marknadsvärde på skogsfastigheter.
