To the sewer systems households, industries and other activities are connected. The wastewater is collected at treatment plants where a nutritious sludge is produced. The sludge does not only contain nutrients, but also hazardous substances originating from different activities in society. To reduce the flow of hazardous substances to treatment plants and to create a sustainable recycling of plant nutrients the Swedish Water & Wastewater Association has developed the certificate system REVAQ. This certificate requires a good quality of the sludge but also that the treatment plants maps the origin of the unwanted substances.

The purpose of this thesis is to increase the understanding of why convertible bonds are a relatively uncommon financing method in Sweden.

The main finding is that the Swedish financial market has characteristics that inhibit the development of a convertible bond market in Sweden, leading to the fact that most convertible bonds are issued under special circumstances.

Studiens syfte är att undersöka vilken kunskap och erfarenhet socialsekreterare i Uppsala län har gällande sambandet mellan mäns våld mot kvinnor och våld mot husdjur, samt deras erfarenhet av att bevilja ekonomiskt bistånd för kostnader kopplade till våldsutsatta kvinnors husdjur. För att bäst belysa vår studies syfte och besvara våra frågeställningar valdes en kvantitativ ansats och en enkätundersökning genomfördes. Materialet omfattar svar från 142 respondenter från sju kommuner i Uppsala län. Enkäten innefattade även en öppen fråga vilken utmynnade i ett kvalitativt underlag. Tidigare forskning visar att mäns våld mot kvinnor är ett stort samhällsproblem samt att det förekommer ett samband mellan mäns våld mot kvinnor och våld mot husdjur. Resultaten i föreliggande undersökning visar att majoriteten av socialsekreterare har vetskap om sambandet mellan mäns våld mot kvinnor och våld mot husdjur, samt ser ett behov av jourhem för våldsutsatta kvinnors husdjur.

Centralt belägen offentlig mark är i regel ytor som används effektivt. Kommunerna behöver göra avvägningar mellan praktiska lösningar och rekreativa miljöer för att skapa en fungerande stadskärna. Parkering och parkmark är exempel på samhällsnyttiga faktorer som behöver erbjudas i stadsrummet. Österplan i Uppsala är en kommunalt ägd yta som består av lika delar parkering och parkmark. Uppsalas mest centrala delar saknar kvarterspark i närområdet, vilket Österplan skulle kunna erbjuda.

The Sweden Democrats (Sverigedemokraterna) has for a long time been the subject of study by political scientists. In the meantime they have been categorized as National Socialists, Fascists, right-wing extremists and more recently radical right populists. But it has not been categorized according to the theories that I expect. The purpose of this essay is to study how well Sweden Democrats policies match with ideas that are typical for radical right populist parties. The main research question is:- Are Sweden Democrats showing details which are typical for radical right populist parties?To be able to answer those questions, I have used an ideal type analysis and developed an analysis instrument according the theoretical approach and the methods in Bergström & Boréus book.

Background: A large part of the daily political and economic debate in Sweden concerns the EU. One question that has been debated since the beginning of European integration is whether trade is created as a consequence of integration and, ifso, how great are the gains related to the increased trade. An equally important but maybe less debated question is whether countries outside the union are affected by the increased European integration. Is increased European integration made at the cost of countries outside the EU? Purpose: The purpose of this study is, by calculating trade creation and trade diversion, to evaluate if a number of developing countries? trade with Sweden has decreased after Sweden?s membership in the European Union.

In this diploma work the approach of determining the required amount of reinforcement in slabs exposed to pure tension is processed, on behalf of Ramböll Uppsala. It is a well-known problem in the industry that there are uncertainties in the determining of the amount of crack reinforcement, especially for structures exposed to pure tension. Cracking caused during the time of dehydration in concrete slabs is the most common defect according to statistics made by CBI[1], which provides numbers as high as 35 % of all the defects caused on slabs are generated by cracks. Comparisons between Sweden's former national standard BBK 04, Building Regulations for concrete structures due to restrained forces of shrinkage, and the current European standard Eurocode 2 are carried out through theoretical studies and concludes with several examples of calculations. Rigorous calculations of both standards, BBK 04 and Eurocode 2 with application of the national annex in Sweden and Denmark are performed.

Växtgestaltning är ett av landskapsarkitektens viktigaste verktyg. Det är också en komplex process eftersom växtmaterialet förändras beroende på faktorer som ståndort, växtzon och årstid. I mitt arbete har jag undersökt växtgestaltningsprocessen genom att ta fram ett förslag som fokuserar på växtgestaltning för hela året. Arbetet har skett genom inventering, analys och intervjuer som ledde fram till ett gestaltningsprogram och en konceptidé. Vid valet av växter använde jag mig av Nick Robinsons metod ?funktion, karaktär, ståndort?.
