The aim with this study has been to examine and to analyze the discourse of Rosengård in Swedish media. With the concept of discourse is meant here specific ways to speak about and to understand the world, or a part of it. In order to reach increased understanding regarding media presentations and constructions of Rosengård, I have done a study about how Rosengård has been presented in the Swedish daily and evening press during the violent acts that took place in Rosengård in the spring and summer of 2008, when youths regarding to media put cars and containers on fire, and also threw stones at fire engines and other emergency service vehicles when these had to turn out to put out the fires. The collected data, containing newspaper articles, has been analyzed on the basis of the critical discourse analysis, CDA, which is a mould of a textanalytical method. This study applies a social constructivist perspective.

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.

        This is a report that describes the entire process of design of a measuring station for rolling resistance. The report is structured with elements of Fredy Olsson's method.The report also includes a brief presentation of HGF, the company that will manufacture the machine. Requirements and preferences are set up and used in a weighting of criteria by which product suggestions are based. These suggestions are used in the evaluation to produce a final draft product. Solutions to major functions are produced by criteria?s. Component selection for all components is performed, a CAD-based model is developed and an economic analysis is set up. FMEA analysis is set up. The report ends with a brief summary, critical review and suggestions for further work..

Uppsatsens syfte är att visa hur svenska börsnoterade företag på Nordiska börsens OMX30-lista redovisar sina immateriella tillgångar vid företagsförvärv på 2000-talet och därefter se vad som kan skapa bättre förståelse för redovisningreglerna genom att tillämpa institutionell teori. För att uppfylla uppsatsens syfte har författarna valt att genomföra en kvantitativ undersökning. Empirin består av 29 svenska börsnoterade koncerners årsredovisningar under åren 2000-2005. Sekundärdata som legat till grund för den teoretiska referensramen har framförallt inhämtats från internationella forskningstidskrifter.Den teoretiska basen för uppsatsen bygger på en genomgång och analys av redovisningstraditioner, redovisningsprinciper samt institutionell teori, vilka alla bidrar till att påverka standarder och därmed hur företagen redovisar. Den teoretiska referensramen används sedan för att analysera empiriresultaten.

I have chosen an action research approach for this essay. I want to incorporate a method of conflict management in the work of the personnel at a school and also discuss their thoughts and experience in conflict management. I wanted to incorporate modern knowledge about constructive conflict management for everyday use and I stress that if we can evolve these skills among the personnel in schools then we have a better chance of helping children with deviant behavior which often end up in conflict because of it. This will also help all the other children and personnel to manage conflict situations in a better way. I want to introduce a new way of thinking about conflict management which in many ways is different from how it is today. Briefly the method which I advocate revolves around paying attention to every ones basic needs and says that everyone can win and no one has to loose. he main purpose of this essay has been to find out if focus group conversations is a viable method for improving conflict management in the school system. Several of the participants has in their evaluations written that it was a rewarding and interesting way to work.

This thesis has treated a three-axis robot which task is to serve a larger test machine tomove the modules to be tested, from the storage to the test site. The robot is composed ofthree linear actuators; two standard components of ball screw type and a custom-builtactuator of trapezoidal type. The work has mainly focused on the custom-built device to seeif it could be replaced with a standard component. Part of the work has been to look into thepicking tool and to see if there are any possibilities to improve its function.The report presents two different proposals which I decided to call Robot 1 and Robot 2 andthey aim to address the problems arising in the purpose-built linear unit and the X-axislinearity problems. Robot 1 focuses on eliminating the problems that arise around therobot's X-axis, with such simple means as possible and without making excessive materialchanges.

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.

I dagsläget finns en rad olika certifierbara standarder för miljöledningssystem (MLS), exempelvis British Standard (BS7750), European standard (EMAS). Trots att ISO 14 000 serien har funnits på marknaden sedan 1996, finns det lite litteratur och forskning som behandlar dess ekonomiska effekter. ISO 14001 är en internationell standard för MLS och saknar absoluta krav på miljöarbetet. Kraven är mer riktade mot organisatoriska frågor, där företagen själva sätter upp sina mål. Detta examensarbete är utfört vid Skanska Sverige AB, Väg och Anläggning Norr, Distrikt Norrbotten, som är certifierade enligt ISO 14001 sedan år 2000.

 Dagens ekonomi är i mycket större utsträckning än tidigare inriktad mot tjänst och kunskapsintensiva organisationer, vilket har lett till en genomgripande strukturell förändring, det immateriella kapitalet är på väg att konkurrera ut de fysiska kapitalen. Därför är det viktigt att synliggöra denna förändring och anpassa redovisningen för att kunna skapa väl fungerade arbetsmetoder för företagen. Målet med redovisning är att redovisningen skall ge en rättvisande bild av företagets finansiella ställning. Vilka tillgångar som skall redovisas i balansräkningen för att ge en så rättvisande bild som möjligt är en svår fråga.Ett företags tillgångar kan vara både materiella och immateriella. Kraven för att få aktivera en utgift som en immateriell tillgång i balansräkningen är hårda.

This master thesis deals with steel girders subjected to patch loading caused by concentrated moments. There exist no good methods to calculate by hand the ultimate resistance for this load case. In ?tunnplåtshandboken?, (Handbook for sheet metal, which is published by SSAB), one calculation method is presented. It?s however fairly difficult to use, because of many calculation steps and many graphs.

In this master's thesis the problem of determining the uncertainty for an estimator of an unknown parameter is considered. The case we study is the estimation of gravity using a reversible pendulum. This involves the estimation of the point where two regression lines intersect. The estimated gravity is a function the coordinates of this point. One way to determine the uncertainty of this estimator is to use bootstrap methods.

Bakgrund och problem: Utvecklingen inom leasingområdet har ställt krav på normgivarnaatt utforma standarder för leasingredovisningen som följer med utvecklingen. De senasteåren har det uppmärksammats hur stor del av företagens leasade tillgångar som hamnarutanför balansräkningen. Problemet med dagens sätt att redovisa anses vara att företag kanutforma leasingavtal som leder till att de tillgångar och skulder som uppkommer i och medett leasingavtal inte aktiveras i balansräkningen. Detta påverkar jämförbarheten mellanföretag negativt. Amerikanska FASB och europeiska IASB bestämde i december 2006 att detillsammans skall utforma en ny standard för redovisning av leasingavtal.Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att ge en förståelse för varför IASB valt att starta engrundläggande omarbetning av IAS 17 ?Leasingavtal?.
