Något som inte studerats tidigare i större utsträckning är hur olika grundkonstruktioner i anslutning mellan bostäder klarar stå emot ljudspridning i form av flanktransmission. Det finns troligtvis ett mörkertal för bostäder på bottenvåning i anslutning till grunden som inte uppfyller ljudkraven.Den här studien fokuserar på att jämföra två typer av grundkonstruktioner i anslutning till lägenhetsskiljande vägg. Konstruktionerna som jämförts är homogen och slitsad grundplatta. Dessa jämfördes genom värden från beräkningar i Bastian och från fältmätningar. De olika typer av värden som jämförs är stegljudsnivå och luftljudsnivåskillnad.

There is an ongoing process where the free market within the European Union is expanding, partly through the incorporation of new member states, partly through the signing of association agreements with nearby countries and regions. When trade barriers are removed in different ways more companies consider an internationalization of the company. However, the procedure of the internationalization of companies is a rather new and unexplored area in the context of research. The focus of this study is therefore to examine how a few companies situated in Sweden, has proceeded while searching for knowledge during the internationalization process. Data has been collected through interviews that have been balanced with information from Internet and other sources.

This study sets out to investigate how the roll of the teacher is constructed in the Swedish Teachers? Unions trade publication. Based on the theory of social constructionism we have used the method of critical discourse analysis to establish dominant trends and patterns in how the roll of teacher is constructed in editorials in Swedish Lärarnas Tidning. We have established that the conflict between a modernist school tradition and a postmodern society has resulted in a dominant, traditional teacher discourse which is being simultaneously challenged by both a market-orientated discourse and a professionalization discourse. Furthermore, we attempt to highlight how these ?ideal? constructions can create problems in terms of identity construction for teachers.

Shopping kan vara ett nöje oavsett om kunden har en uppgift eller inte. Målet för de flesta butiker är att göra shoppingupplevelsen till ett nöje. Detta kan butikerna i fallstudien göra genom att först och främst erbjuda ett unikt och trendigt sortiment. Sedan gäller det för butikerna att erbjuda hög service i en miljö där kunden känner sig bekväm. Det är också viktigt att butikerna erbjuder produkter som är prisvärda.

Are we able to help younger students to develop their understanding and their use of the capital letter, dot and question mark by giving them intensive teaching on the subject during a short period, and would the effect be long lasting?I decided to investigate this together with young students in second and third grade and at the same time try to see which grade would benefit most.By using an experimental research design I conducted the investigation in a class with children from both grades where the result was compared with two similar control groups. The investigation lasted during five months, while the students were able to show their knowledge in the subject just before and after a two weeks period of intensive teaching and then again after four months.The result showed that the intensive teaching had an effect that lasted over time and that it was the students in second grade that would benefit most. .

Sammanfattning Syftet med detta examensarbete är att ge förslag på hur Vaggeryds tätort kan utvecklas i framtiden med hänsyn till ortens identitet och gällande restriktioner. Genom att beskriva ortens historia, geografiska läge, gällande riktlinjer och restriktioner samt nulägessituation har jag identifierat ortens karaktär samt dess kvaliteter och brister. Denna ana-lys ligger därefter till grund för mina förslag på hur Vaggeryds tätort under kommande år kan utvecklas inom kommunikationer, grönstruk-tur, bebyggelse och verksamheter av olika slag. Målet är att Vaggeryd även i framtiden ska fungera som ett levande samhälle, med arbete, service, handel och kultur samt kunna erbjuda en trevlig, rekreativ och vacker boendemiljö för alla som bor och vill bosätta sig på orten. Detta examensarbete är uppdelat i fyra delar introduktion beskrivning, analys samt planförslag. Introduktionen och beskrivnings delen beskri-ver ortens historia, geografiska läge, gällande riktlinjer, restriktioner samt nulägessituationen utifrån en inventering och litteraturstudier om Vaggeryd.

In what French philosopher Gilles Deleuze labelled Control Societies, mechanisms reminiscent of censorship ? that is, restriction of information that administrators of power wish to regulate the spreading of ? are present in the concept of copyright. This kind of censorship has theadvantage of not being scrutinized by public eyes in the way that the work of institutionalized censorship agencies such as the Swedish Statens Biografbyrå was. It is not unlikely that expanded possibilities for punishing anyone who spreads copyrighted material will result in larger and larger areas that may not be accessed, as the avoiding of conflict and repressive actions will emphasize the behaviour to take detours around information that is deemed taboo and therefore suspicious and dangerous.The ACTA trade agreement is one proposed tool for such extended possibilities for punishment. This essay does not however claim that copyright and censorship are the same ? but rather that the institutional execution of power that was previously a matter of state censorship has a lot of similarities with current and prognosticated application of copyright laws by corporations.While claiming to protect the individual, the disciplinary power executed actually aims to protect the one executing it; the purpose of the power structure is to replicate itself..

Skandalen som omvärvde Enron skakade affärsvärlden då det var den största skandal som dittills inträffat. De brott Enrons ledning stod anklagade för var många och av varierande art. De undersökningar som redan har genomförts har till stor del fokuserat på organisationen och ledarskapet. För att ge en annorlunda vinkel fokuserar denna uppsats istället på redovisningen och några av de misstag som begicks av Enrons ledning. Det är även därför som händelserna granskas ur ett revisorsperspektiv.

The aim of this thesis is to examine the properties of the municipalities in Sweden that influence the choice of being a certified Fairtrade city. The independent variables which are used in the statistical analysis are municipal governance, local tax rate, whether there is an university and/or university college in the municipality, average income and higher education in the municipality. The variables are examined by logistic regression. Since there are no statistical data on ethical procurement, this exogenous variable isn?t included in the regression.

The impact of the distribution in the soil volume of two farm manures on the net mineralization and immobilization processes of nitrogen were studied in an incubation experiment. Cattle slurry and broiler litter were placed in the soil with three procedures for incorporation including placement on top of the soil (TOP), in the middle of the soil (MID) and mixed homogenously with the soil (MIX). During the two weeks of incubation, few significant differences in net mineralization were seen between TOP, MID and MIX. However, there was a tendency that MIX led to a larger net immobilization of N than placement at one point (TOP and MID). This is also the result in the literature.

Uppsatsens syfte är att utifrån studenters konsumtionsbeteende undersöka om detaljhandeln kan förbättra servicemötet, och i så fall på vilket sätt.Vidare har den en induktiv ansats då uppsatsen tagit sin utgångspunkt från empirin. Kvalitativ metod används i form av intervjuer genomförda med elva studenter från två olika städer i södra Sverige, samt med fem butikschefer i nordvästra Skåne inom sällanköpshandeln.Slutsatsen är att produkten och varumärket avgör studenternas val av butik. Detaljhandeln tar inte tillvara på studenter som konsumenter, då de inte kan identifiera vem som är universitets ? eller högskolestudent, eftersom de inte skiljer sig från andra i samma åldersgrupp. Detaljhandeln kan förbättra servicemötet genom att skapa en relation till studenterna.

This thesis aimed to describe how the ideological dividing line concerning the welfare state has changed between the two largest governmental parties in Sweden, the Social Democrats and the Moderaterna, during 1990 to 2010. The scientist Mark Blyth points out that ideas are important instruments for structural and institutional change by identifying ideas as weapons, blueprints and cognitive locks, which were being used in the theoretical framework. The empirical data was made by a qualitative analysis of the parliamentary speeches and debates from both parties held every year. The results shows that the budgetary law passed in 1997 became a new institutional blueprint, which changed the political conditions for the Social Democrats. Furthermore, the results point to a change in the Moderaterna?s rhetoric concerning the welfare state to a more pragmatic view. .

The aim of this paper is to investigate the underlying motifs leading to the decision to appoint a supplemental liquidity provider and how they vary between companies. As the first study of its kind to take on an internal company perspective, the goal was to broaden the knowledge base of the field and lay ground for further studies. The study has been conducted by interviewing companies providing the service, their customers and the stock exchanges which they are traded on. The results show that there are two main motifs for appointing a liquidity provider, 1) Creating conditions for increased trade and 2) Improving the pricing of the stock. There was also a supplemental group 3) Other motifs consisting of the observations that would not fit in any of the main categories.
