The city of Uppsala and its surroundings are a very expansive area. A prerequisite for a sustainable development of the area is well-functioning supply of drinking water. In Uppsala municipality, the Uppsala esker and Vattholma esker are the groundwater storages for drinking water. Besides the eskers, other sources of qualitative groundwater in the Uppsala municipality are relatively poor and more than half of the area consists of ground conditions with a risk of saline groundwater. The neighbourhood of Vreta-Ytternäs is situated 10 km south of Uppsala, in the area with risk of saline groundwater but outside the municipal water supply.

I denna uppsats behandlas förfarandet kring offentliga upphandlingen ur ett upphandlarperspektiv. Problemet som behandlas i uppsatsen grundar sig i komplexiteten i upphandlingsförfarandet med utgångspunkt i att antalet överprövningar successivt ökar med åren på området, något som har diskuterats som ett problem bland annat i flera rapporter från konkurrensverket, finansdepartementet och Stockholms handelskammare. Komplexiteten kring de upphandlingar som sker ute i landet har lett fram till uppsatsens syfte; att undersöka vad som är grunden till de problem som kan uppstå i upphandlingsförfarandet. Beror det på kunskapsbrist, oklar reglering, eller något annat? Detta har sedan även undersökts djupare genom en studie av Uppsala kommun.I denna uppsats så redogör jag först för upphandlingsförfarandet utifrån hur det ska gå till i och med gällande lagstiftning i LOU.

Denna studie berör förtätning av ett redan bebyggt område i Uppsala och hur förtätning påverkar förhållandet till befintliga grönområden.Befolkningsprognoserna för Uppsala kommun tyder på en tillväxt med drygt 2000 invånare per år fram till 2030. Med den tillväxten krävs fler bostäder inom staden. Sedan 1990-talet har stadsplaneringen gradvis genomgått en förändring. I stället för att som förr främst exploateras i periferin, växer och planeras numera staden även inåt genom förtätning. För att klara miljömål och integrera stadsdelarmed varandra, blir staden tätare genom bebyggelse och infrastrukturer.

The purpose of this essay is to study how the local creators of a "master plan" for the swedish city Kristinehamn, the years between 1940 to -43, looked on their planning.

A hypothesis is upheld for the research: that the local physical planning had largely extended ambitions what regards central state control in a way that is similar to planned economy. Questions that are asked include: Was the planning assumed to be a tool for the state to regulate the environment? Can the planning be seen as a mean to control the society in time and space? The essay search for verification of the hypothesis by a theoretical analysis apparatus made upp of ideal types.

Denna uppsats handlar om vilka kommunala åtgärder som kan få människor att välja cykeln i större utsträckning med utgångspunkt från Uppsala stad. Metoden är kvalitativ i form av en mindre enkätundersökning med invånarna, en intervju med en trafikplanerare och en litteraturstudie av såväl vetenskapliga artiklar som kommunala och statliga dokument. Fokus ligger både på direkta och indirekta åtgärder som främjar cykling i form av infrastruktur och beteendepåverkan. Eftersom undersökningen utfördes i början av december kom en relativt stor del av uppsatsen ta upp vilka åtgärder som kan få personer att välja cykeln även på vintern. Grundläggande för att göra cykling attraktivt är ett koordinerat och mångfacetterat arbetssätt samt den aktivt förda politiken inom områden som transport, markanvändning, stadsutveckling, miljö och parkeringsnormer.

Purpose/aim: The purpose is to get increased knowledge about how the communication had developed from the first contact online to the first meeting in real life and even after when it had turned into a real relationship. I also wanted to know why the eight women I interviewed experienced that the Internet is a good venue to meet and develop a real relationship at and if there existed any differences between those four women who were a bit older and those four women who were young.Material/method: When the purpose with this survey stood clear I decided to use interviews as the method to find out more about my subject. I decided to do eight interviews and I contacted eight women who all found their partners online that were willing to help me and answer my interview questions. I did six of the total eight interviews through MSN Messenger and the other two through the telephone.Main results: I found out that three of the older women had used e-mail and telephone and sometimes SMS communication to find out more about their soon to be partner and after that decided to meet the other person in real life. One of the older women and all four of the younger ones had used a Community and Instant Messenger to communicate with their soon to be partner, they also used the telephone and SMS to communicate with each other but Instant Messenger was the medium that dominated in their wish to communicate.

When referring to the same event, people can have different assumptions. What is interesting to see is why these assumptions are different, why do people have different stories? Some of the reasons could be different levels of expectation, different communication channels or even different cultural backgrounds. We have analysed all these by having a case study within a company that has recently gone through a change management/strategy implementation process.The research reviewed in this paper originates in two different worlds. One world is a research world where stories come from textbooks and articles.

This essay in Art History treats the former Central Post Office in Gothenburg, Sweden, and its recent transformation into a luxury hotel. The magnificent original building in neo-classical style, inaugurated in 1925, has been supplemented by a twelve stories high tower in postmodern style containing hotel rooms and suites, creating a complex architecture. The approach of this essay is that of ?lived architecture?, that is, how people experience and act in relation to the building. It is argued that the history of the building is rewritten in the marketing of the hotel and the management?s concept of creating a comfortable ?mini-world?for its guests.

Bakgrund: Sedan mitten på 1900-talet har många faktorer kommit att påverka organisationers sätt att samordna och organisera sig. Förändringstryck såsom expanderade organisationer ledde till företags och organisationers ökade behov av ledning och styrning för att bli mer effektiva, vilket resulterade i nya styrningsverktyg som kunde hantera dessa förändringar. Ett av dessa var det balanserade styrkortet som denna uppsats kommer att behandla. Det balanserade styrkortet kom att bli ett populärt styrverktyg inom den offentliga sektorn, speciellt inom hälso- och sjukvården. De finns dock ett flertal forskare som hävdar att det balanserade styrkortet inte har kapacitet att hantera den offentliga sektorns komplexitet och heterogena utformning.Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att beskriva och förklara hur balanserade styrkort införts i Folktandvården i Uppsala län.
