In this thesis I discuss and analyze the integration policy of the community Landskrona, if they have any at all and how they in that case use it in their daily work to counteract the obvious problems with segregation, racism and negative attitudes towards people with other ethnic background than Swedish.During the second half of the 20th century Sweden has received a lot of immigrants who built our country and contributed to the rich variety of people we see today. Landskrona was one of the towns who received a lot according to its size, and with the economic crisis in the 1990s it was easy to blame the immigrants for our own deteriorated situation.Today Landskrona is working for an implementation of integration policies in all institutions and organizations to make it a matter of course just like equality. It is not the ethnic background that is the problem; it is being an outsider and economically segregated that lead to resistance of the society. The community is prioritizing the four areas job for everyone, living, education and culture..

This bachelor thesis aims to analyse the effects of changes in management control systems following acquisitions, and deduce whether or not these effects are in line with the acquiring firm's objectives of the acquisition. Through a case study of technician consultant firm Energo, acquired in 2010 by ÅF, the study assumes the perspective of the acquired firm. Data has been collected through in-depth interviews at Energo and ÅF and complemented by internal documents to enrich and validate specific facts and statements. Data was then arranged and analysed through Otley and Fierriera's (2009) framework Performance Management Systems to understand how management control systems were constituted before the acquisition, what changes were made following the acquisition, how this process was accomplished and how it was experienced, in order to come to conclusions about the effects of these changes. The study concludes that the changes in Energo's management control system following the integration with ÅF, had significant effects on the outcome of the acquisition, primarily as it led to a high rate of Energo's employees resigning.

Sverige är ett mångkulturellt land och det finns intentioner till integration i samhället och dess olika instanser. Skolan är en instans där barn, ungdomar och vuxna med olika bakgrund möts. Studenter med svensk bakgrund och studenter med utländsk bakgrund agerar inom skolan och det sker en kategorisering av studenterna i kategorierna svenskar och invandrare. Syftet med studien är att lyfta fram och tolka gymnasiestudenters tankar kring begreppen svenskar, invandrare och integration. Ett delsyfte är att genomföra en prövning av flödesskrivning som metod.

Emerson Network Power Energy Systems är ett globalt företag som skapar system för avbrottsfri strömförsörjning för tele- och IT-kommunikation. Till följd av uppköp av företag har Emerson utveckling i flera länder. De olika länderna använder dessutom olika CADsystem. Detta är ett hinder för samarbetet mellan utvecklingsavdelningarna. Den svenska avdelningen av företaget har lagt mycket tid på att utveckla ett PDM-system och anpassa det till det CAD-system som används i Sverige (NX).

The Mission at ÅF Industry in Norrkoping was about optimizing bulk data handling while importing process tag types from their construction database into the Process Controlled System of type Siemens PCS7.I found three different methods to solve the task. Two of them were using different software from Siemens under the premise that the report from the database was corrected as needed. The third variant was manually creating the circuits. All methods worked out fine but there were times when one was better than another.To solve this task I had access to all software presented in chapter 2 ?Programvara? (=Software).

This study discloses Swedish human service organizations and their methods of integrating unaccompanied children into the Swedish society. The purpose of the study is to investigate how social workers at HVB-homes for unaccompanied children depict their experience in and knowledge of how the unaccompanied children are integrated into Swedish society. The method of investigating the questions raised by the purpose of this thesis has been qualitative analysis of answers derived from interviewing personnel at HVB-homes for unaccompanied children. In doing so we have made use of a semi-structured method of interviewing the above-mentioned personnel. The data derived from these interviews has thereafter been analysed and filtered through the concept of integration and the theoretical formations human service organizations and street-level bureaucrats.

Syftet med arbetet är att ge exempel på hur yrkesverksamma pedagoger och andra vuxna inom skolans värld arbetar med integration och tolerans mellan elever från olika kulturer. Detta ger vi ett antal exempel på i litteraturgenomgången och sedan kompletterar vi dessa exempel genom en empirisk undersökning, där pedagoger och vuxna i skolans värld intervjuades om hur de arbetar med integration.I litteraturgenomgången ges också en kortfattad överblick över hur invandrares situation i Sverige, gällande integration, har förändrats under de senaste 50-60 åren och några olika typer av kulturkrockar.En kvalitativ undersökning genomfördes i form av intervjuer, som först spelades in på band och som därefter transkriberades och sammanfattades.Resultaten visar att man kan arbeta på flera olika sätt för att öka toleransen mellan olika kulturer, bl.a. genom att arbeta med värdegrundsfrågor och utvecklandet av språkkunskaperna i svenska. Vår tolkning är den att integration är ett område som man, behöver arbeta med i ett långtidsperspektiv. Detta oavsett vilka nationaliteter som är representerade i barngruppen..

This essay seeks to gain understanding on the thoughts of Konrad Adenauer regarding the future of Europe in the post-WWII era, and European integration in particular. The material used is his memoirs, which gives an insight into the part of his thought that he chose to share with the rest of the world. The essay uses an analytical framework of three theories, popular within the academic discipline of international relations: realism, liberalism and constructivism. The conclusion it draws is that none of the theories can in a satisfying way describe Adenauer?s thoughts, but rather that they all in some way describe certain elements of his thoughts.

In this project the focus has been on the system for recombination at Oskarshamn 2. The recombining systems have on several occasions switched paths due to low pressure before the last ejector that?s feeding the recombiner. Of the mentioned reason, events and several measuring points have been analyzed in this report since the installation of the recombining systems.In order to prove theories and demonstrate what may be the cause of this problem, we used heat balance calculations by the program Probera. Using the program, we can demonstrate that the catalytic process does not reach the desired temperature with the amount of combustible substance.

The aim of this two years master thesis in Library and Information Science is to examine how librarians and library managers in the three Stockholm suburbs of Alby, Fisksätra and Rinkeby think and reason about the role of public libraries in the integration process. The aim is also to examine whether their perception differ from that of local politicians at the municipal level. The theoretical framework is Marianne Andersson and Dorte Skot-Hanses model for analysis of the local library profile, and Jose Alberto Diaz theory on the integration process. The method used is qualitative interviews. The interviews were recorded and the content was analyzed using qualitative content analysis. The results of this study show that the library services in the three suburbs, rather than being stipulated by the legal demand for special services towards immigrants, are based on the needs of the local population.

In this paper corruption in Bosnia and Herzegovina has been studied to investigate to what extent corruption inhibits Bosnia and Herzegovina?s possibilities of integrating with EU.The overarching research question is how occurrence of various types and forms of corruption affect the possibilities of Bosnia and Herzegovina to fulfill the criteria negotiated by the EU. In order to undertake this exploration the study uses typologies to identify and categorize the various forms of corruption that exist in Bosnia and Herzegovina and theories about the impact of these forms of corruption. After that these forms of corruption are analyzed in relation to their impact on the various political and economic criteria that are set for integration and membership in EU, such as independent justice system and the acceleration of the privatization process.The results show that corruption in Bosnia and Herzegovina represents a major obstacle to several of the criteria set by the EU and thereby integration with EU. Even though that these priorities are told to be set with realistic goals these priorities will be difficult to fulfill with such widespread corruption as in Bosnia and Herzegovina today..

Det övergripande syftet med uppsatsen har varit att analysera och beskriva diskursiva sätt att framställa integrationen av invandrare i den del av den offentliga debatten som förs i svensk massmedia. För att göra detta har jag tagit min teoretiska utgångspunkt i Laclau och Mouffes diskursteoretiska diskursanalys.Integration artikuleras i artiklarna som fullständig likhet, delvis likhet och deltagande samt som ensidig/ömsesidig och total/delvis anpassning. Integration artikuleras vidare som språklig och kulturell integration, som en fråga om arbete, ekonomi och utbildning samt som politik. Detta dels utifrån vad det svenska anses vara och dels utifrån vilka/hur invandrarna är..

Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka en skola i Skåne och dess arbete med integration. Ambition är inte att lösa en eventuell integrationsproblematik, utan att belysa komplexiteten som skapar och upprätthåller den. Den centrala frågeställningen för uppsatsen är: vilka motsättningar finns det mellan skolans, kommunens, lärarnas och styrdokumentens intentioner om integration samt på vilka olika sätt artikuleras de?  Målsättningen är även att lyfta fram styrker och visioner som existerar hos de undersökta som eventuellt kan ge avtryck för framtida arbete. Uppsatsen bygger på teorier och tidigare forskning om hur och varför integration bör främjas i skolan samt styrdokumentens intentioner i skolundervisningen. Fallstudien är framtagen genom semistrukturerade intervjuer med utbildningsdirektören i kommunen, rektorn på skolan samt sex stycken utvalda lärare.

Göteborg Energi has a surplus of district heating during spring, summer and fall. The heat surplus is due to a constant production of waste heat from oil refineries and heat from waste incineration over the year. It would be desirable to increase the demand for heat and the uptime for the newly built combined heat and power generation plant, Rya Kraftvärmeverk. One alternative could be to integrate Rya Kraftvärmeverk with a pellet production facility. By producing heat, electricity and pellet in a joint process the energy use can be decreased.

Background: Many authors consider knowledge to be a significant source for competitive advantage. Replicating companies found their competitiveness on an ability to leverage its knowledge base by replicating its business model in new contexts, a process often referred to as the McDonalds approach. Several authors emphasize that an efficient method for knowledge transfer may increase the risk for imitation. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine in an explorative manner how strategies for replicating complex knowledge systems are employed and developed. Furthermore, our ambition is to explore the notion of replication strategy.
