There is an irregularity in the interregional migration in Sweden. An increasing proportion ofthe population is drawn to the metropolitan areas, which creates problems for the smallermunicipalities and towns when their population declines. At the same time, our whole societyis faced with a great challenge: we need to redirect towards a sustainable development, wherethe environmental issues are discussed and dealt with to secure that all present and futuregenerations are given equal opportunities to live a good life.The aim of this study is to, focusing mainly on the environmental dimension of thesustainability concept, examine the attractivity of housing with sustainability claims. Toanswer this, three research questions were used:? Was the migration motive to reduce their environmental impact a part of the decision tomove, among migrants who had moved to housing with sustainability claims?? If the motive was a part of the decision, how much impact did it have compared to othermigration motives?? Which factors in housing aiming at sustainability are considered important by peopleliving in housing with sustainability claims?The research questions have been answered using quantitative data, gained in the form of selfadministeredquestionnaires which were distributed in four different residential areas withsustainability claims in the county of Västra Götaland, Sweden.

A more complex and turbulent world market puts pressure on flexibility and the ability to adjust its business to the market changes. The rapid and unpredictable change is hade to analyze and forecast which demands more short-term forecasting. The issue for this dissertation is based upon the demand of more flexible ways of doing business in the bank sector in Sweden, which is a turbulent and unpredictable market. Handelsbanken is a company that uses the so called Beyond budgeting concept and the dissertation is about this company?s ability to solve the economic governance without the traditional budgeting process.

Rädda Barnen och Rädda Barnens Ungdomsförbund har ett projekt som heter allan. Det är ett jämställdhetsarbete med samtalsgruppsverksamhet för fjortonåriga killar. Uppsatsen granskar metodmaterialet för dessa samtalsgrupper ur ett genusvetenskapligt perspektiv med särskilt fokus på maskuliniteter, maktordningar och jämställdhet. Metoden som används kallas idé- eller ideologianalys, och mer specifikt utförs en innehållslig idéanalys.Som utgångspunkt fungerar socialkonstruktivistisk teori inom maskulinitetsforskning. Speciellt används R.W Connells begrepp hegemonisk maskulinitet och Michael Kimmels texter om homosocialitet.

In Based upon disciplinary foundation... ? A study on teachers? prerequisite for continuing pro- fessional development (CPD) I have examined the prerequisites that teachers in Nacka have for CPD, due to the new school law that states that all teaching must be based upon disciplinary foundation and proven experience. According to a recently published governmental report, as well as international research, not only structural aspects like time and financial compensation are crucial to whether teachers continue their development. Encouragement from the principal and colleagues are also a contributing factor; and not to mention those factors combined.There is a world wide shared consensus among educational researchers claiming that one very important piece in creating a successful school is having a well-educated and updated staff.

Den här uppsatsen är ett kandidatarbete på Programmet för Fysisk planering på Blekinge Tekniska Högskola, och genomförs under utbildningens tredje år. Uppsatsen omfattar 15 hp. Uppsatsen tar upp hur en kommun tillämpar planeringsvisioner och idéer vid skapandet av en stad och vid förnyelse av områden. I dagens planeringsdiskussioner pratas det mycket om hållbarhet, täthet och funktionsblandning. Bland annat dessa begrepp är centrala i skapandet av den goda staden. Uppsatsen går igenom hur dessa begrepp visar sig i en översiktsplan och vilken mening de ges.

Market capitalism sets the conditions for how the world is conceived, experienced and organized at various spatial scales (global to local). Currently, competitiveness, entrepreneurship and economic growth are key values that shape how the world is conceived, experienced and organized. Discourses of place marketing, place branding, and the construction of places as (economic) products, are part and parcel of the heightened commodification of space. Tourism has been a major factor in the commodification of place and space. More often than not, tourism has been seen as a possibility for peripheral places, in their struggle finding new ways towards development.

Riksintressesystemet har sedan det lagstiftades år 1987 granskats, diskuterats och ifrågasatts. Tillämpningen av riksintressesystemet har ansetts haft grundläggande oklarheter och problem, bland annat vad det gällde riksintresseområdens aktualitet samt hur de skulle geografiskt avgränsas. Då bristerna och problemen med tillämpningen av riksintressesystemet ansågs vara av den omfattningen att det påverkade dess trovärdighet och legitimitet var det intressant att studera hur riksintressesystemet tillämpades i praktiken, i den översiktliga planeringen. Syftet med arbetet var att studera hur riksintressesystemet tillämpades i praktiken. Detta genom att undersöka hur Sveriges kommuner geografiskt avgränsade riksintressen enligt 3 kapitlet MB i den översiktliga planeringen, i förhållande till länsstyrelsernas underlagsmaterial. De metoder som användes i arbetet var en litteraturstudie samt en kvantitativ studie, i form av en enkätundersökning. Resultatet av litteraturstudien och enkätundersökningen påvisade att det fanns problem och brister med riksintressesystemet och tillämpningen av det, i den översiktliga planeringen. De slutsatser som kunde dras var att: ? Majoriteten av kommunerna geografiskt avgränsade samtliga riksintressen enligt länsstyrelsernas underlagsmaterial, trots att ett flertal av tjänstemännen angav att kvaliteten på länsstyrelsernas underlagsmaterial var bristfällig i flera avseenden. ? Det fanns skillnader mellan olika riksintressen för hur de hanterades och tillämpades i den översiktliga planeringen. ? De statliga myndigheterna, länsstyrelserna och kommunerna saknade tillräckliga resurser, kunskap och kompetens för att kunna tillämpa riksintressesystemet. ? Riksintressesystemet och tillämpningen av det genomfördes inte enligt intentionerna i gällande lagstiftning..

Detta examensarbete granskar hur konflikten mellan försvaret, med inriktning på militärt flyg, och förnybar energi genom vindkraft hanteras i den fysiska planeringen. Studien bistår med faktamaterial från båda parter i konflikten i en objektiv framställning. Konflikten granskas på nationell likväl som på lokal nivå. En bakgrundsbeskrivning av försvarets förändrade roll sedan kalla kriget ges. Parallellt beskrivs lagstiftningens utveckling sedan arbetet med den fysiska riksplaneringen började på 1960-talet.

Kan man kombinera två så vitt skilda synsätt som användbarhet och grafisk form på samma webbplats? Jag undersöker möjligheten att göra detta genom att ge användaren ett positivt visuellt första intryck för att sedan låta resten av webbplatsen präglas av användbarhet. Att det första intrycket färgar övriga intryck är ett fenomen som kallas haloeffekten (Hinton, 1993). Hur skapar man då ett positivt första intryck? Jag har utgått från en definition av estetik där begreppet är uppdelat i två dimensioner, klassisk och uttryckande (Lavie och Tractinsky, 2003).

There is an irregularity in the interregional migration in Sweden. An increasing proportion ofthe population is drawn to the metropolitan areas, which creates problems for the smallermunicipalities and towns when their population declines. At the same time, our whole societyis faced with a great challenge: we need to redirect towards a sustainable development, wherethe environmental issues are discussed and dealt with to secure that all present and futuregenerations are given equal opportunities to live a good life.The aim of this study is to, focusing mainly on the environmental dimension of thesustainability concept, examine the attractivity of housing with sustainability claims. Toanswer this, three research questions were used:? Was the migration motive to reduce their environmental impact a part of the decision tomove, among migrants who had moved to housing with sustainability claims?? If the motive was a part of the decision, how much impact did it have compared to othermigration motives?? Which factors in housing aiming at sustainability are considered important by peopleliving in housing with sustainability claims?The research questions have been answered using quantitative data, gained in the form of selfadministeredquestionnaires which were distributed in four different residential areas withsustainability claims in the county of Västra Götaland, Sweden.
