Akvaponik beskrivs som en innovation som kan fr?mja h?llbar livsmedelsproduktion, samtidigt som dess implementering ?nnu inte har n?tt kommersiell framg?ng. Tidigare forskning identifierar flera hinder f?r en etablering av systemet i olika delar av v?rlden, men situationen i Sverige ?r mestadels outforskad. Denna studie unders?ker vad som hindrar kommersiell akvaponik i Sverige utifr?n ekonomiska, regelm?ssiga, sociala och milj?m?ssiga aspekter, samt hur dessa hinder kan motverkas.

Background: First Line Managers are expected to create a health promoting work environment. Research has shown that the prerequisites for accomplishing a health promoting leadership are not always the best. Aim: The aim was to elucidate the prerequisites for a health promoting leadership as First Line Manager at a University hospital in Sweden based on competence, role, support structures and own durability. Results: First Line Managers at the chosen hospital seems to have rather good conditions for conducting a health promoting leadership. All respondents did have a university degree and most thought that their competence corresponded well with the role.

During year 2004 Ålö AB made significant change in their production process. The production of front loaders is nowadays highly automated with short operation times. To be able to control their process in a better way Ålö recently decided that they needed a tool for simulation of their production and to shift patterns. This final thesis started with a pilot study in Ålö?s factory in BrĂ€nnland.

The company is currently in a stage of improvement and has therefore taken the help of students at School of Engineering, Jonkoping University. The current production is batch, production layout is fixed. A bottleneck is created after the first station which leads to large efficiency loss.  The meaning of this report was to provide a layout suggestion with balanced workstations to a new production line. The conditions were that the production line would be one-way, driven by customers order and meet a demand of 40 products per week.

Informationsteknologi spelar allt större roll i dagens moderna samhÀlle. SjukvÄrden Àr en verksamhet dÀr införandet av nya IT-system kan förvÀntas leda till stora positiva effekter. Till exempel skulle ett system för tidsbokning on-line för lÀkarbesök möjliggöra för mÀnniskor att enkelt och snabbt boka den tid som passar hos familjelÀkare eller specialist. Samtidigt skulle den avlasta lÀkarsekreterare och frigöra arbetstid som skulle kunna anvÀndas till nÄgot annat. Men vÄrdpersonal kan uppleva IT som ett hot.

Music production software has a strong tradition of two-dimensional graphical user interface (GUI), in which the time line is represented as a flat composition either horizontally (from left to right) or vertically (from top to bottom). In my degree work titled Sequi, I approach music composition from a different angle. Instead of a two-dimensional time line with only two possibly ways of progression (forward or backward) I constructed a three-dimensional GUI with the maximum of four different ways of progression from any given point in a composition. The height axis is used to describe time-intervals (the time between downbeats) and the wide and depth axes are used to describe progression from one sound to another..

In the essay the author examines how pilgrimage can be used as a tool to radicalise democracy in a late modern society marked by neoliberalism. Applying a dialectic perspective on social movements the essay puts forward how the pilgrimage movement Pilgrim?s Walk for Future, administrated by Church of Sweden, is working in line with the historical pilgrimage theology - a modern critical ecclesiology- to mobilise political action to prevent climate change. The result of the study shows how PWFF meet the neoliberal hegemony with a mobilisation of alternative values beyond the order of capitalism, in line with Christian theology and tradition. The mobilisation is made possible by new forms of identifications with oneself and the social world that meet a modern power/knowledge- regime based on rational thought, and which questions norms and practises by paying attention to their negative effects on nature and on human life in general.

Since the implementation of the revised IAS-1 in January 2009, the income statement has changed in order to include what is called dirty surplus accounting flows (DSF). Using data for the period 2005-2009 regarding large cap companies listed on the OMX Stockholm we identify DSF in Swedish accounting. First, we present some descriptive statistics on aggregated and individual DSF in Sweden. We find that aggregated DSF and individual items related to securities are significantly positive over time. Second, we perform a regression on returns to test for value relevance and find that aggregated DSF and individual items related to currency translation differences and cash flow hedges are value relevant in explaining returns.

The purpose of this study was to examine leadership in the public sector based on leadership models, organizational factors, conditions and health of employees.

AB SmÄdelar Àr ett företag som tar hÄllbarhet pÄ allvar. Man har nyligen presenterat sin första hÄllbarhetsredovisning och vill inför framtiden förbÀttra sig ytterligare avseende logistiken mot underleverantörerna. DÄ det finns ett fokus pÄ hÄllbarhet vill AB SmÄdelar inte att de logistiska förbÀttringarna ska pÄverka Triple bottom line negativt, varför en modell har konstruerats för att kunna testa förbÀttringsförslagens inverkan före implementering. Studien Àr kvalitativ med abduktiv ansats och har utgÄngspunkt i semistrukturerade intervjuer. Syftet Àr att göra en nulÀgesanalys för att hitta förbÀttringsomrÄden och föreslÄ ÄtgÀrder som kan effektivisera logistiken med samtidig positiv effekt pÄ bÄde ekonomisk, miljömÀssig och social hÄllbarhet. Syftet Àr ocksÄ att ta fram en enkel matrismodell för att strukturera och testa de planerade logistiska förÀndringarnas effekt över hela Triple bottom line. UtifrÄn nulÀgesbeskrivningen har grundlÀggande strategi för logistiskt arbete avhandlats, liksom Paretos princip, totalkostnadsmodellen, komplexiteter och balanced scorecard.

Background: A large number of companies works as a link between manufacturers and final users. These companies buys and stores goods to be able to deliver when a need comes up later in the chain. The storage could have a negative effect on profitability and therefore places great demands on the management control systems. ABC as a method has been used with some success in manufacturing for over ten years. In wholesale companies the method is not frequently used.
