Klimatförändringarna med en ökande nederbörd som följd och ökningen av hårdgjorda ytor leder till att de dagvattensystem som finns i stadsmiljöer ibland inte räcker till för att hantera den intensivaste nederbörden. Det dagvatten som bildas innehåller mycket föroreningar och om det inte tas om hand kan det leda till att dessa går ut i Recipient med förorenade sjöar och vattendrag som följd. EU:s ramdirektiv för vatten som kom år 2000 och de miljökvalitetsnormer som därigenom har uppkommit bidrar till att det har blivit mer fokus på att värna om de sjöar och vattendrag som finns. En av lösningarna för att hantera dagvatten kan vara att använda ekosystemtjänster för att både fördröja, absorbera och rena vattnet. Det går bland annat att nyttja träd, svackdiken, gröna tak och våtmarksanläggningar. Studien syftar till att undersöka om ekosystemtjänster aktivt används för att lösa problem med vattenkvalitet och om de används för att implementera vattendirektivet.

Since the 1980s, the management philosophy New Public Management has resulted in major changes in the public administration system in several countries, especially in the West. A market oriented approach and an increased focus on performance measurement are ideals that are salient in these changes. The aim of this bachelor thesis is to examine the management philosophy?s influence on international relations through a critical analysis of some of its ideals in the management of international development cooperation, where effectiveness, quality, and results have been new dominant concepts. Through a qualitative content analysis of a Swedish Communication from 2014 ? the Aid Policy Framework ? and a debate in the Swedish parliament where this Communication was discussed, different themes that reflect the strategy of so called results based management in Sweden are identified.

Incompatibility between donors and Recipients can cause fatal hemolytic transfusion reactions (HTR), kidney damage and death and immunization of the Recipient. Antigens on the surface of erythrocytes in the ABO blood group system and regular natural antibodies against these in the patient?s plasma must be considered. An individual always has a corresponding antibody of IgM in their plasma. Irregular antibodies acquired by transfusion or pregnancy and active in body temperature also cause the HTR incompatibility.

The purpose of this study was to understand what the care Recipients considering as care quality in their long-term eldercare. Our intention has been to contribute a bit to the development of the care work. Previous studies show that user surveys are carried out regularly but there is very few studies that are based on care Recipients own opinions and experiences. The main questions in the study have been to examine what is considered as good elder care from a user perspective. Even to understand the characteristics of a good meeting with the care staff and also examine how the elder care in Nybro municipality can improve.

We have chosen to focus on the meaning of long-term income support dependency regarding health, goal setting and motivation for the Recipient of economical aid. We have chosen to use semi structurized interviews to achieve our goal of reaching the clients experience of long-term income support dependency. The study consists of interviews of six clients whose answers have been analyzed through appliance of Kielhofner´s Model of human occupation, Scheff´s Shame in self and society.   Our results show regarding, 1) the factor health that long-term income support dependency may elevate the risk of illness and less experienced options of possibilities to act. 2) regarding the factor goal setting, that goals may be inefficiently used during social work with long-term income support dependent clients and may result in a disorganized relationship between client and social worker in the sense of making the parties pull in opposite direction. 3) regarding the factor motivation, that long-term income support dependency and the living with the emotion of shame elevates the risk of maintaining a negative image of oneself that limits the willpower to assimilate new knowledge and/or skills.

The outset of this study is to contribute to the literature concerning China?s increasing economic interest to engage in the African context, its economies and resource abundandce. The overarching research problem is that the approaches held by the respective African state entities may facilitate increasing development gains for the Recipient state of this economic interest in principle. To adress this research problem the study is undertaken by conducting a comparative case study where three cases/states, with presumably diverging economic and political status, are likely to effect their overall state approaches differently.Research questions, which are addressed by the creation of an idealtype analytic matrix, concern whether the states of South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe take on a more ?permissive? or ?restrictive? approach towards China?s economic interst and whether the approaches can be looked upon on both aggratege and case/area-specific levels.The main findings are that a clear tendency of the ?permissive approach? may be noted on a aggregate level for all cases.

Stormwater run-off from surfaces such as roads or rooftops is often polluted with heavy metals and nutrients. Many of these substances can cause great damage in biota if they end up in the Recipient. In Sweden constructed wetlands and ponds for treatment of stormwater are frequently used, since research has shown that these treatment ponds are reducing stormwater pollution considerably to a low cost. The knowledge of these pollutant removal mechanisms and how follow-up and assessment of the ponds should be performed is still limited.To determine the pollutant removal efficiency of the stormwater ponds it is recommended that flow-weighted water samples are collected from both the inflow and the outflow of the pond. This method demands considerable resources of time and money for installations and analysis.

Mediation of fiction for adult users in Swedish public libraries is a subject which has been little studied from a theoretical perspective. The motivation for this thesis was based on this realization, and the opinion that actual library users too seldom get their voices heard in library and information science-research. The thesis analyzes interviews with seven library users in which they have been asked to talk about the librarys work with mediating fiction. The answers are analyzed using a discourse analytic approach to see how the librarys work with mediating fiction is constructed in the users talk.Two main discourses are identified, one authoritative and one neutral. In the authoritative discourse librarians are talked of as experts who have the knowledge to guide users to the ?right? literature.

The purpose of the thesis was to map the hydraulic load on the Knivsta river from stormwater runoff, and build a platform for further studies of pollution loads on the rivers ecosystems. New residential areas are planned to be built in Knivsta municipality and it will have an impact on stormwater flows to Knivsta river. To examine the impact this will have, simulations were made in the area as it stands today and after expansion work. The work includes calculation of flows from the populated areas but also from the catchment area around it consisting of woodlands and fields. Because of expected climatic changes which may affect rainfall, the simulations have been performed with different return periods for rainfall data.

Dagvatten kan innehålla höga halter föroreningar. Vattnet leds från asfalterade ytor till Recipient eller reningsverk. Detta kan bidra till att Recipienter och reningsverk får en hög belastning när det gäller vattenflöden och mängden föroreningar. Vid bortledandet av dagvattnet minskar infiltrationen av vatten och detta kan medverka till att markens vegetation skadas och att markens bärkraft försämras på grund av en sänkning av grundvattenytan. Västerviks kommun har beslutat för att ställa om dagvattenhanteringen i Västervik genom att använda sig av Lokalt Omhändertagande av Dagvatten (LOD).

AbstractTitle Blogging.se ? a study on the swedish blogosphere from a Habermasian public sphere-perspective (Bloggning.se ? en studie av den svenska bloggsfären utifrån Habermas offentlighetsteori)Author Anders LarssonAim To see whether or not weblogs (blogs) could be said to rejuvenate the public sphere, as it was first described and later re-evaluated by Jürgen Habermas.Method A quantitative analysis of 733 randomly selected swedish weblogs has been done. This analysis set out to see what different categories of bloggers (difference in f.e. gender and age) wrote about, and whether or not these subject categories could be said to play a part in constituting and/or rejuvenating a public sphere.Main results The main results of the quantitative study was that even though most blogs write about ?private? subjects, the most popular blogs, i.e.

The following essay is a study of the theatre-play Min Arm, a translation and performance by Per Lasson for Fria Teatern in Stockholm 2009-2010. Actor, director and playwright Tim Crouch wrote the original script My Arm in English in 2003.With basis in intermedial theory, as defined by Jörgen Bruhn, as well as Hans-Thies Lehmann?s theory on post-dramatic theatre this study investigates the meaning-building processes in Min Arm as a theatrical performance. Concepts of the difference between stage play and performance text are borrowed from and inspired mainly by Eli Rozik?s Generating Theatre Meaning.

I och med det nya ramdirektivet för vatten som trädde i kraft år 2000 kom frågor rörande dagvatten i fokus. Tillståndet i sjöar och vattendrag skall bevaras och förbättras inom en tidsperiod av 15 år. Ett av de absolut största hoten mot vattenmiljön är föroreningarna i dagvattnet. Med hjälp av olika lagar skall ett försök göras till att begränsa utsläppen av miljöfarliga ämnen med dagvattnet. Reningstekniker är under ständig utveckling och utredning.
