Meningen med vår uppsats är att undersöka möjligheten för ett socialt arbetskooperativ att kunna driva ett hunddagis i egen regi, helt utan bidragsstöd från samhället. I uppsatsen börjar vi med att kortfattat beskriva bakgrunden till socialekonomiska arbetskooperativ. Vi har haft möjlighet att få närvara vid den utbildning som kursdeltagarna fått genom Karlstads kommun inför uppstarten av hunddagiskooperativet. Hunddagiskooperativet kommer att drivas som en ekonomisk förening för att ha möjlighet att i framtiden kunna vara vinstdrivande.En enkätundersökning genomfördes för att se vad potentiella kunder efterfrågar av ett hunddagis och vad som skulle kunna göra att kunderna väljer detta dagis framför andra. Vidare har vi gjort en investeringskalkyl samt break even-analys för att se hur många dagishundar som skulle behövas för att täcka upp för kostnaderna. Vi ser att efterfrågan på kompletterande varor och tjänster från den potentiella kundgruppen är stor och att detta kan generera ytterligare intäkter.Efter genomförd break even-analys kan vi konstatera att det är fullt möjligt att driva verksamheten utan ekonomiskt stöd från samhället. Går det dessutom att komplettera med ytterligare varor och tjänster kan verksamheten dessutom gå med vinst.

The river Bivaröd is one of the river Helgeån tributaries which has the highest and the fastest increase in water colour. The reason behind this increase is unclear but several factors have been suggested to affect this pattern. In this work, I studied the role of land use, iron and precipitation for water colour increase in river Bivaröd for the period 1976 -2011. Data from a field study along with data from SRK for river Helgeån were used for the analyses. The results showed that both water colour and iron concentration increase and that there is a strong correlation between these two variables.

This thesis deals with the supranational organization of European trade unions. The European trade union movement is, via its umbrella organization the ETUC, an institutionalized social partner within the European Union. The ETUC is a very diverse organization with great potential of conflicting interest among its members. This thesis therefore seeks to explore the dynamics and interest heterogeneity of the ETUC. Drawing on previous research and literature it formulates a number of hypothesises to test what variables that influence the member organizations policy preferences (i.e.

During cold winter days it is likely that people in buildings with older windows or high glass facades experience thermal discomfort due to cold air down draughts. Earlier work has been aimed at finding analytical methods to predict the speed of the airflow in a room and in practice heating appliances are often placed beneath the windows to reduce the draught along the floor. In a study from 2012 Mohammad Parchami developed a method for estimating the required heating power to counteract the downdraught with such heating appliances. In this study, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) was used to evaluate the usefulness of Parchami?s method and also to examine the potential of adapting the depth of the inward window sill as a means of decreasing the down draught.

In the growing concern for the state of the environment more tools are being integrated in the decision-making processes. Sweden actively makes use of environmental impact assessment (EIA), which is supposed to minimise negative impacts of a project, policy or plans on the environment. The EIA process in Sweden still requires certain improvements to be more efficient. In this study actor interaction was analysed with trust being the framework for analysis. The aim is to find out whether it is possible to use trust as a framework for analysis since trust research is very discipline dependent.

Vi följer den pågående mediala skoldebatt som förs i Sverige och ställer oss frågande till vad som sker inom svenska grundskolan idag. Skolan verkar ses allt mer som en verksamhet som fastnat i en negativ spiral där fokus på kunskap kommit i skymundan. Den rådande skolsituationen får oss att undra vad kunskapsspridning mellan lärare har för betydelse i arbetet mot att återinta fokus på kunskap och kvalitet i svenska grundskolan. Uppsatsen genomsyras av tre grundläggande resonemang; Nonakas (1994) unika tolkning av kunskapsspridning, organisatoriskt lärande samt Knowledge Management som alla behandlar spridning av kunskap samt hur tyst kunskap kan transformeras till artikulerad. Professionella verksamheters komplexitet beaktas och sätts i relation till kunskapsspridningsprocessen.

In recent years, global organizations safeguarding financial stability has started to track commercial property markets. One of the reasons for this refers to the fact that commercial property constitutes a large share of bank lending. Simultaneously, bank exposures to commercial property are extensive and risky since collateral values are strongly correlated to borrowers cash flows. Since banks are viewed to play a key role for financial stability, studying the relationship is well motivated. To better understand how commercial property markets interact with financial stability, this paper develops an econometric model for studying the commercial rental market.

System based models of plants rely on descriptions and assigned functions of genes, and currently 50% of the genes in Arabidopsis thaliana has either no assigned function or a function based on homology only. Mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPK's) are key players in cell signalling and are conserved among eukaryotes, though their targets are highly diverse. A recent study has described a small Arabidopsis protein (80), without homology to any described protein, as a phosphorylation target of the MAPK's MPK3/6. Further work established ?-glucan phosphorylase (PHS) as interacting with 80 and described a delayed senescence phenotype for 80 knock-out plants.

A wish for a higher standard of living has driven the rate of consumption in Sweden. Mainfocus in business is on a higher growth and profitability where some companies use a lowprice strategy to win competitive advantage. The positive consumption pattern spiral is oftendiscussed in media, while criticism is limited and often refers to the environment. In order toreduce our ecological footprint we should consume more sustainably. More and morecompanies implement CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) in their business strategy tobecome more sustainable.

Examensarbetet utfördes på Saab Dynamics, ett företag där man har framtagning av bland annat understödsvapen. Produkterna är under ständig förnyelse och utveckling, i strävan efter ständig förbättring. Projektet handlade om att undersöka möjligheterna att ta fram tändsystemsdetaljer till ett lägre pris med funktionsmässigt tillräckliga egenskaper. Under arbetet undersöktes en rad olika tillverkningsmetoder och material teoretisk för att finna lämpliga alternativ till ersättande framtagningsmetoder. Bland annat analys av precisionsgjutning i zink, ett förslag som redan var under diskussion på företaget.

This thesis investigates how crime prevention is represented with the aim of preventing and reducing youth crime in two crime prevention strategies for Croydon in England and Stockholm in Sweden for the period 2022-2026. The aim of this thesis is to contribute to increased knowledge and deeper understanding about how crime prevention is represented by prevailing discourse in policy documents against juvenile delinquency in Europe by conducting a comparative analysis. The study was conducted based on Carol Bacchi?s theory ?What?s the problem represented to be?. Three adapted questions from the WPR approach were translated to critically discourse-analytically examine two policy-oriented strategies against youth crime on local level in Croydon and Stockholm.

This essay is about the meeting of the pedagogic mission and the reality of the conditions in preschools. It is about the frustrations that I, as a pedagogue, experience when I cannot fulfill this mission. An example of this is working when understaffed.My purpose is the acknowledgment of two main areas of the curriculum: caring and learning. This essay demonstrates the diversity of the occupation and it ?s constant need of positioning.

In recent years, the characterization of the Third World and its inhabitants in West-originated children?s books has been subject to debate. Media attention around a selection of books has generated discussions on how this relates and aligns with Sweden?s national teaching curriculum. The objective of this study is to explore how a selection of authors, born in Western countries, have characterized and presented the Third World and its inhabitants in its literature.

During the development of microwave based sensors such as radar target seekers, input signals are needed to verify the performance of the system. Therefore, a channel board has been developed by previous thesis projects at Saab Bofors Dynamics. It uses a technique called Digital Radio Frequency Memory (DRFM). The purpose of this board is to sample and digitally store radio frequency signals in order to reconstruct them after a certain delay.The aim of this thesis project was to use the channel board named above to construct a portable instrument for generation of stimuli signals. This assignment has been divided into two tasks: firstly, to construct and put together the hardware components and secondly, to implement a graphical user interface for the instrument.

ABSTRACTDet talas om livslångt lärande och att kunna läsa och skriva som ett verktyg för att möta det samhälle vi ska leva och verka i. Frågan kan ställas om vad det livslånga lärandet innebär och vad som krävs av skola och samhälle. Både internationella och nationella undersökningar visar att läs- och skrivkunskaper hos elever som går i svensk skola är i en nedåtgående spiral och minskar. Det finns all anledning att fundera på varför det är så och vad som måste göras för att vända spiralen uppåt så att det ökar igen.Genom den här kvalitativa undersökningen har målet varit att belysa entreprenörskap och företagsamt lärande i relation till ämnet svenska. Kan det vara ett verktyg som underlättar och som är en framkomlig väg till läs och skrivinlärning? Studien tar dels ett elevperspektiv och hur de ser på pedagogen, arbetssättet, miljön, material och kamraterna.
