Sveriges regering lade den 28 mars 2000 sin proposition 1999/2000:86 Ett informationssamhälle för alla. En av propositionens huvudinriktningar är att alla företag och hushåll skall kunna ha möjlighet att ansluta till ett rikstäckande datanät med bredbandskapacitet.Regeringen är medveten om att glesbygdsområden och landsorten, dvs områden utanför själva kommunernas stadskärnor, är eftersatta vad gäller tekniktillgänglighet, men specificerar inte hur och med vilken teknik dessa områden skall ?vävas? in i nätverket.Detta arbete beskriver de övergripande tekniker som finns idag och som är under utveckling, varvid två huvudgrupper kan urskiljas; trådburen respektive trådlös kommunikation. Inom dessa huvudgrupper finns ett antal olika tekniker som beroende på bl a standarder, kapacitetskrav, avstånd och antal anslutna användare kan användas i olika sammanhang.Arbetets slutsatser är att det inte finns någon generell lösning på problemet med att ansluta en kommuns ytterområden till stadsnätet, utan varje situation är unik och får bedömas var för sig. Därmed presenteras ett förslag till stöd vid beslutet att välja teknik..

Syftet med uppsatsen har varit att jämföra Naturvårdsverkets förslag till en förändring av strandskyddsbestämmelserna, som kom år 2002, med de nya strandskyddsbestämmelserna som i fullo trädde i kraft den förste februari år 2010. Vidare har frågan hur de allmänna intressena tas till vara i strandskyddsbestämmelserna ställts samt hur förändringarna i lagstiftningen har påverkat detaljplaneringen av strandområden i tätortsområden. En fallstudie gjorts över ett strandnära område där ett planförslag har gjorts för att visa hur de nya strandskyddsbestämmelserna kan tillämpas vid detaljplanering. Avgränsningen av arbetet har varit intresseavvägningen mellan de allmänna intressena och de privata utmed strandkanten vid detaljplanering samt till att studera strandskyddets påverkan vid detaljplanering i strandnära lägen. De huvudsakliga källorna har varit Regeringens proposition ?Strandskyddet och utvecklingen av landsbygden?, Naturvårdsverkets rapport, ?Kartläggning m.m.

?ÄTA-work? (Changes, Supplementary and Retiring works) is more or less common in all construction projects whether it is about houses, roads or railways, in the planning stage, or in the construction stage. For the Swedish Transport Administration, which is the largest purchaser of infrastructure in Sweden, ÄTA-work is a hotter topic than ever.Economists and managers want to draw conclusions on the projects share ÄTA-work, while the project manager is concerned about whether it is possible to draw any conclusions at all as each project is unique in itself and has its own merits. There is a big variation in the amount of ÄTA-work in different geographic districts in the Swedish Transport Administration.This study shows that the Swedish Transport Administration does not have a unanimous approach regarding the management of ?ÄTA-work?.

The animal owners were interviewed by telephone six months later about the feeding after coming home. Four out of ten animal owners answered yes to the question if the veterinarian had asked what food their animal normally consumed. Out of 35 animals, 15 (43%) were prescribed to a veterinary diet. Among cats it was 8 out of 14 (57%) and among dogs it was 7 out of 21 (33%). Four animals out of ten were recommended a veterinary diet when going home, but 20% did not follow the recommendation all the way through and stopped feeding their animal the veterinary diet. Reasons that were given was that the diet didn't last the entire period, that the animal didn't need the diet anymore according to the owner and one dog that became to lean when fed the diet.

Transfers of joint stock companies can be executed in several ways - for example by transferring individual shares or by transferring all shares or by selling the company's assets and liabilities. It is not fully clear which rules should apply to transfers of joint stock companies. Some legal experts claim that the Sales Act (Köplagen) is applicable, while others claim that the rules for promissory notes (Skuldebrevslagen) should apply. This distinction is of great significance regarding the extent of the vendor's liability. According to Skuldebrevslagen the vendor's liability is rather limited, while Köplagen enjoins the vendor a more extensive liability.A transfer of a joint stock company brings about great economical risks, both for the vendor and for the purchaser.

Försvarsmakten har sedan 1901 blivit försedd med soldater genom den allmänna värnplikten vilken nu avskaffats. Syftet med studien är att utifrån läsningen av ett antal offentliga dokument analysera den förändringsprocess som försvarsmakten befinner sig i vad gäller personalförsörjningen i övergången från ett allmänt till ett frivilligt försvar. De frågeställningar som utformats är: hur har Försvarsmaktens personalförsörjning sett ut tidigare? och hur anser de statliga offentliga dokumenten att Försvarsmakten kan arbeta för att försörja sig med den personal på frivillig grund som tidigare rekryterades genom lagen om totalförsvarsplikt? Metoden som används är att utifrån en hermeneutisk ansats göra en kvalitativ innehållsanalys av två statliga offentliga utredningar och en proposition.Resultatet visar att Försvarsmakten föreslås genomföra specifika förändringar för att i framtiden trygga sin personalförsörjning. Dessa förändringar gäller en frivillig grundutbildning, en målgruppsanpassad marknadsföring, införande av ett HR-centrum, förmånliga anställningsformer och en hjälp till vidare civil karriär.
