Den kontinuerliga samhällssträvan mot en mer hållbar utveckling är en av de svårasteutmaningarna som människan har bemött under modern tid. Dess innebörd medför att våralevnadsvanor på alla plan måste anpassa sig efter de nya förutsättningarna som vi förr ellersenare måste bemöta. Inom infrastrukturella termer medför detta en allt mer pressad situationför både transport, logistik, kommunikation och trafiksektorn. Även den levande stadenutsätts för hårda påfrestningar där stadsutvecklingen måste ske i samklang med den hållbarautvecklingen. För att nämna några konkreta exempel är Stockholms region en av tusentalsandra storstadsregioner i världen som ämnar till att utvecklas till en storstadsmetropol ochalltid sträva mot att vara konkurrenskraftig från alla perspektiv gentemot andra storstäder.

Jag var utbytesstudent i Tokyo, Japan under våren 2007. Där intresserade jag mig för de olika kläduttryck som ungdomarna använde sig av i stadsdelen Harajuku. När jag kom hem till Stockholm igen såg jag tydligt hur de Harajukuinspirerade stilarna hade växt fram här.Uppsatsen tar avstamp i Harajukus mode. Syftet är att undersöka hur det har förflyttats och utvecklats i Stockholm, vad har förändrats, förstärkts eller suddats ut och varför? Vad förändras i överföringen? Jag ställer följande frågor: Hur ser det Harajukuinspirerade modet ut bland unga i Stockholm? Hur ser det ut i jämförelse med de unga i Harajuku? På vilket sätt har modet förändrats och varför? Vad kan jag som bildpedagog erbjuda ungdomar för att de ska få utveckla sina intressen inom subkulturen? Hur kan jag skapa en miljö med verkstäder och utställningar som passar denna målgrupp? I mitt designpedagogiska projekt skapar jag en japansk subkulturfestival med verkstäder och fotoutställning på Lava på Kulturhuset den 24-25 november.

The proportion of women entrepreneurs in Sweden is, as in many countries, smaller than the proportion of men entrepreneurs. Sweden has therefore created political measures with the ambition to increase women entrepreneurship. However, knowledge about the determinants of women entrepreneurship is needed in order to enable the promotion of it and, at the same time one can question the treatment of women entrepreneurs as a homogenous group. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the determinants of women entrepreneurship and whether these determinants fluctuate regionally. If this proves to be the case, a more spatial/individual approach should be used, when creating measures to promote entrepreneurship.

Spending a night out in the nature is away for many to experience a slowerpace of life. Refuge cabins are a typeof open-air facility sometimes provided for more far off locations, yet it is in the vicinity of cities and towns that the opportunity for getting out into the natural environment is mostly sought after. Several nature reservs exist around Stockholm with the good intention of promoting the opportunity for outdoor activities. The aim of this study is to investigate how the provision of refuge cabins can be a means of facilitating and augmenting outdoor life experience in a proposed nature reserv to the west of Stockholm.

The purpose of the study was to learn how social structures can enable accessibility, by asking persons with visual impairment about their experiences of accessibility in the public environment in the city of Stockholm. Eleven adults with visual impairments, living in the city of Stockholm, were interviewed using two separate focus groups.

The resulting data was analyzed on the basis of Nancy Fraser?s theory on social justice, focusing on the conceptions; needs, politicised needs, redistribution, recognition and misrecognition.

Fisksätra has a historical background that goes back to the battle between Russia and Sweden that took place in 1719. This battle is known as "Slaget vid Stäket".

There are about 3 500 churches protected under the Heritage Conservation Act in Sweden today. These churches still belong to living congregations that want to be able to adapt them to the needs of today, just like people have done throughout history. But since the churches are protected, the congregations have to apply for a permit and that is not always given. This can lead to frustration, and you can sometimes hear representatives of the church express the view that antiquarian authorities are enemies that oppose the church. On the other hand we have the antiquarian authorities that, in a way, have to act as advocates for generations to come and make sure that there is a cultural heritage preserved for them when they grow up.

Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur kvinnor, inflyttade till Stockholm från Norrbottens län och som bott i staden i mer än fem år, konstruerar sin identitet i relation till rådande diskurser om storstad/småstad eller storstad/landsbygd. Analysen är utförd baserad på sju intervjuer med kvinnor i åldrarna 36-48 år, alla härstammande från Norrbotten. Efter analys framkommer det att kvinnornas identiteten är del i en konstruktion, en ständigt pågående process som aldrig riktigt blir färdig, då kvinnorna ständigt skapar sin identitet i förhållande till ?det andra?, eller får sin identitet bekräftad eller definierad av andra. Det blir också tydligt att norrbottniskhet inte bara har att göra med identitet, utan även också med klass, då det i dualiteten mellan Stockholm och Norrbotten framstår ett maktförhållande, och det står i slutändan klart att kvinnorna inte bara gjort en identitetsresa utan även också en klassresa, genom sitt val att byta ut Norrbotten mot huvudstaden i söder..

The purpose of this candidate thesis is to obtain an overall picture of how many prohibitions against owning or taking care of animals that were announced in Sweden in the years 2006-2008 and on what basis these judicial decisions were taken. What is the situation for the person behind the judicial decisions? Is there a so-called risk category where preventive actions to solve the problem can be taken at an earlier stage?The first Swedish animal welfare legislation came into force in 1944. Previously there was a law of 1857 that only prohibited the maltreatment of farm animals. In 1988 the existing animal welfare law was revised into an in principle new law (1988:534).As early as in the Royal Majesty?s government bill (1944:43) to the 1944 animal welfare legislation, there was a proposal that issued prohibition for those having been convicted of aggravated cruelty to animals.
