This thesis adresses the subject of stormwater management and the problematic with stormwatermanagment and landuse in the compact city. The thesis research different solutions in stormwater managment and how to implement them in the context of the compact city. And at the same time preserve and make good recreaational places and keep quality green land per capita. The thesis also analyses risks and problems that could effect the environment with focus on stormwater managment and hov to minimize these problematic factors an create a good environment. In an urban context where the water has a natrual place, and is used as a asset.

Forskning visar att elever upplever naturvetenskapsundervisningen som sva?r och otillga?nglig samt att allt fa?rre elever va?ljer att studera a?mnena vidare eller satsa pa? en karria?r inom naturvetenskap. Det a?r viktigt att besitta kunskap inom naturvetenskap fo?r att kunna leva och verka i dagens samha?lle. Undervisningen bo?r anpassas utefter elevernas intresse och ge eleverna en positiv upplevelse tidigt i livet.

A?ldern pa? borrprover fra?n tall (Pinus sylvestris) pa? utvalda ha?llmarksberg bela?gna pa? A?by sa?teris gamla utmarker studerades enligt en a?rsringsanalys (korsdatering med peka?r, se t.ex. Niklasson, Zackrisson & O?stlund 1994) i syfte att underso?ka tra?dsuccessionen i lokal skala. Enligt Fries (1951, 1958), som studerade skogssuccessionen i Sotena?s genom pollenanalyser och historiska ka?llor var ha?llmarkerna kala fram till mitten av 1800-talet p.g.a.

The large number of surrendered and feral cats is a big animal welfare problem all over the world. Populations of feral cats arise through a large number of unwanted cats which can lead to surrender of these, through cats allowed to roam free outside which can lead to the owner losing these and through the reproduction that occurs amongst these surrendered or lost cats. One aim of this study is to give an account of this problem. It is however difficult to draw general conclusions about these populations of cats since studies all over the world has been carried out on different types of populations, during different conditions and different periods of time. The welfare of many of these cats is presumably low because they are exposed to risks as disease, starvation, climate, traffic, other animals and humans.

This paper, Personal safety when working with weather encapsulation constructions, is focused on weather encapsulation constructions and how the absence of Swedish standards and regulations is affecting the safety for the workers. The usage of weather encapsulation construction is increasing in Sweden therefore the needs for standards and regulations are becoming more and more urgent. The risks involving the rising and the demolition of the weather encapsulation construction and when the construction is transported along its rails are treated in the paper. Since there are no regulations companies have had to solve the safety issues without instructions, the paper regards how the companies have solved this problem without the support of formal institutions..

Deregulation on the market for agricultural products leads to a more globalised market with increasing price fluctuations. This, in turn, places the farmer in positions influenced by new risks but also improved opportunities. The farmers are faced by uncertainty in terms of financial outcome. To be able to utilise these new market conditions it becomes increasingly important for farmers to continuously follow the price trend, and to develop strategies how to manage the risks exposed by a volatile market. Farmers with different conditions perceive risk in different ways. Hence, their risk management behaviour will vary.

The recent history knows numerous examples of creditor?s inability to evaluate financial solvency of the client correctly. Creditors? risks do not only concern individual relations between the two parties but the economy in general. The standard loan-giving procedure considers evaluation based on a number of financial ratios.

The study aims to investigate Swedish fitness companies positioning and strategic choices when internationalising in the Scandinavian countries and what has influenced this choice. Furthermore, the corporate risk and what obstacles they encountered will be examined.The study was conducted as a qualitative study with a deductive approach. The results are based mainly on primary data from interviews, as well as secondary data.The fitness companies? choice of strategy in internationalisation depends largely on its concept and positioning. The main obstacles in the internationalisation process are lack of communication, language difficulties and regulations.

Barn- och fritidsprogrammet a?r ett yrkesinriktat gymnasieprogram med mycket la?g etableringsgrad pa? arbetsmarknaden. Syftet med va?rt arbete a?r att analysera elevers val till programmet och vilka tankar de ba?r pa? na?r det ga?ller mo?jligheterna att fa? arbete. Va?ra forskningsfra?gor handlar da?rfo?r om hur eleverna resonerar info?r valet av gymnasieprogram, vilken kunskap de har om arbetsmarknaden vid valtillfa?llet, vilken betydelse de tillma?ter mo?jligheten att fa? arbete efter utbildningen samt vilka fo?rva?ntningar de har pa? tiden efter avslutat gymnasium.

Spel har varit en del av ma?nniskans interaktion, inla?rning och fo?rsta?else fo?r ma?nskligt beteende under flera tusen a?r. Pa? senare tid har begreppet 'gamification', eller 'spelifiering', diskuterats na?r det ga?ller informationso?verfo?ring och marknadsfo?ring i ljuset av den o?kande anva?ndningen av internet, smartphones och sociala medier. Analytiker anser att spelifiering a?r ett effektivt sa?tt att skapa engagemang kring och spridning av information samt att begreppet kommer anva?ndas flitigt om fem till tio a?r.Det saknas dock i ma?nga fall fo?rsta?else fo?r hur spelmekaniken a?r kopplad till informationso?verfo?ringens specifika syfte och mottagare och hur man pa? ett relevant sa?tt anva?nder sig av spelmekaniska element fo?r att uppna? det engagemang som efterstra?vas hos mottagaren.Syftet med denna uppsats a?r att underso?ka hur anva?ndningen av spelifiering ser ut idag, hur spelifiering som begrepp och dess anva?ndning diskuteras ba?de bland praktiker och teoretiker samt vilka mo?jligheter som finns fo?r konceptet.

Denna studie unders?kte effekten av en l?rarledd intervention om sj?lvreglerat l?rande (SRL) och metakognitiva f?rdigheter p? gymnasieelevers digitala fokus och distraktion. Med bakgrund i den ?kande anv?ndningen av digitala enheter i klassrummet, utforskades hur elever beskrev sin fokusf?rm?ga, vilka strategier de anv?nde och hur interventionen p?verkade deras l?rande och koncentration. Studien baserades p? Zimmermans SRL-modell och samlade in kvantitativ data (testresultat, skrivbeteende, fokusbortfall via Exam.net) samt kvalitativa data (elevanteckningar, sj?lvskattningar, fritextsvar).

The purpose of this thesis is to highlight the work with line extensions by companies in the media industry. To obtain this purpose a case study was performed to learn about Norrbottens Media?s actions regarding their new launch of the magazine Extra. Information was gathered through an interview and media observations and was analyzed and compared to previous studies on the subject. Results of this case study show that the main reasons for the company?s line extension were new trends on the market and that the company had unexploited recourses to make use of.

GE Healthcare wants to investigate whether additive manufacturing would be an alternative method in their workshops in the Umea? plant. Additive manufacturing is called 3D printing in everyday language and manufactures details by building them up layer by layer in an automated machine. The purpose of this work is therefore to investigate how mature additive manufacturing methods are and how they could be used at GE.The work has been divided into three parts. The first section investigates how additive manufacturing would work in the production workshop at GE.

This B.Sc. Thesis examines how Swedish Large Cap companies communicate CSR in social media. We describe the current state of CSR communication in four different social media channels, Twitter, Youtube, Facebook, and blogs. This research, supported by interviews with stakeholders and a quantitative survey, analyses the potential risks and benefits from communicating CSR via social media and provides concrete advice on the development of a CSR communication strategy for social media. Although some benefits have been realized, many companies have failed to truly reap the potential benefits from an effective social media strategy for CSR.
