Organizing for value creation : a corporate perspective on urban farming
In the year 1800, about 5 % of the world population lived in cities (World Wide Fund for Nature, 2012, 3). Today that number is about 70 % in Europe and North America, and in 2050 it is expected to be 86 % in the developed world and 67 % in the developing world (www, UN, 2009). In addition, the global population is expected to increase with 2.2 billion people until 2050. As a result of the population increase more food has to be produced which requires more transport from the countryside to the cities. However, this flow of resources faces some difficulties.
Generella riktlinjer vid distribuerad Scrum
Today many companies are global and can exist all over the world. It is more common that projects are conducted in different locations, from various cities in a country to nations in different parts of the world. To manage projects both traditional practices such as the Waterfall method and new flexible methods known as agile methods are used. How is the process affected when a project is distributed, when the team is scattered in different places? This makes it difficult to create a good project, something we will discuss and try to find solutions for.
1553-Simulator. In-/uppspelning av databusstrafik med hjälp av FPGA
At Saab Aerospace in Linköping, components for measurement systems to the fighter aircraft JAS 39 Gripen are developed. In this activity you sometimes want to record the traffic transmitted on the data busses that connects different sys-tems. This traffic on the data busses is using the military standard MIL-STD-1553. This project has aimed to create a system for recording and sending 1553-data. The system is used on an ordinary personal computer, equipped with a recon- figurable I/O card that among others has a programmable logic circuit (FPGA).
Spannmålsexport & exportsubventioner - hand i hand?
This thesis analyzes the effects of export subsidies on Swedish cereal export. The analyzes are based on data on cereal export from Sweden to countries outside the EU from 1990 to 2003. In 1995 Sweden became a member of the European Union. Before the membership, the Swedish agricultural policy was decoupled in a larger sense than the European CAP was, which means that the Swedish producers had decreased their production more than the European farmers. When Sweden became a member of the EU the production started to increase again to an EU level.
Karlskrona: örlogsstad och världsarv : en fallstudie om stadsidentitet
In 1998, 'the Naval Port of Karlskrona' was inscribed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and thus, it is equally protected as China?s Great Wall and the Pyramids of Egypt.The essay is a case study of Karlskrona, one of Sweden's most well planned cities, where famous urban planners and architects such as Erik Dahlberg and Nicodemus Tessin the Elder has been involved.Today, Karlskrona is a rather unknown small town in Sweden's outskirts, where population growth has been a problem. When Karlskrona was founded, in the late 17th century, Sweden was a major power. The Blekinge archipelago was in the middle of the Baltic dominion and Karlskrona represented a midpoint in the kingdom. Therefore, Karlskrona has a small town charm with the history and style of a cosmopolitan city.By initially studying how the town?s character of today is expressed, the history of Karlskrona is explored.
Målspråksanpassning vid översättning av idrottsmedicinska termer. Användning av fackspråkliga och allmänspråkliga termer i amerikanska och svenska Runner?s World
Syftet med denna studie är dels att jämföra användningen av allmänspråkliga ochfackspråkliga termer i amerikanska och svenska Runner?s World, dels att se hur passmycket man anpassat sig till den nya målgruppen då man översatt de amerikanskaoriginalartiklarna till svenska.Åtta vanliga löparskador presenteras med sina respektive latinbaserade ochallmänspråkliga namn på både engelska och svenska. Av jämförelsen framgår det attproblem som kan uppstå beror dels på de latinbaserade termernas status, dels på renaöversättningsproblem, såsom falska vänner. Exempelvis är löparknä och runnersknee inte överhuvudtaget besläktade skador, medan däremot hälsporre och heelspurär relaterade till varandra, även om de inte beskriver samma skada.De tre artiklar som analyserats belyser olika typer av problem, då två av dem ärbaserade på amerikanska studier och den tredje är en fristående artikel som intedirekt berör de skador som denna uppsats tar upp, utan snarare inkluderar dem för attbeskriva när man bör vara försiktig med olika typer av underlag.Med stöd av tre intervjuer visar jämförelserna på att typ av artikel, informationsgradoch relevans är de faktorer som spelat in vid översättningen av de tre artiklarna.Artiklar som baserats på studier verkar i högre grad ha behållit latinbaserade termer,medan rent informativa texter, vilka inte specifikt behandlar skadorna i fråga, tycksdra mer åt det allmänspråkliga hållet..
Nordiskt försvarssamarbete : Är det en ny företeelse eller en fortsättning på det som tidigare ägt rum i hemlighet?
There are changes in Sweden's foreign policy, and Sweden is no longer a non-aligned and neutral nation. Sweden has expressed a willingness to actively participate in creating peace and stability in the world by giving and receiving military assistance in case of war, crisis or disaster. This is described as complete turnaround in Swedish policy compared to the neutrality and non-alignment during the Cold war.However new research shows that defence cooperation is not new in the Nordic region. Sweden cooperated secretly with Denmark and Norway, two NATO countries, about co-operative defence of Scandinavia during the Cold War.Is our historical picture wrong and what we perceive as new and revolutionized not particularly new? Is today's open Nordic defence cooperation a continuation of what was done in secret during the Cold War? The essay investigates and compares two different Swedish defence cooperation?s where one was previously secret and the other is open.

The world's natural resources are constantly being reduced, which increases the pressure on companies to actively engage themselves in environmental activities. Meanwhile, stakeholders focus is being broadened and it is now important not only to supply a particular product or service but also show that they are actively pursuing an environmental agenda. Companies can use various tools to aid in environmental efforts, but also to demonstrate to the world that the company is actively engaged in environmental activities. One such tool is the environmental standard ISO14001 which provides the company with guidance and support on how the business must manage its environmental efforts. To show a business' progress in environmental performance, it is advantageous to use environmental performance indicators as they enable stakeholders to easily understand how the business works with environmental issues.Authors in the field explain that the environmental management system propagation is limited in service organizations.
