KappAhls sociala ansvar. Hur ser det ut i verkligheten?
With the globalization, companies in the West chose to shift production to developing countries to cut down costs. This had a major impact when child labor and very poor working conditions in these factories were discovered and led many companies to take responsibility for their suppliers and the employees by adopting voluntary so-called Codes of Conduct.There is a subtle balance to enforce improvement of working conditions for employees at suppliersÂŽ factories and to keep costs down. On the one hand, companies would like to conduct extensive audits at their suppliers to ensure code of conduct compliance and thus protect their legitimacy. On the other hand, audits are expensive so companies would like to minimize audits to keep costs down. Companies thus have to strike a delicate balance in relation to how many and what suppliers they choose to audit.
VindfÀllning i naturliga och skapade bryn och kanter :
The aim of this work was to study if the edge of the forest is more resistant to heavy winds than the trees located further in from the edge, and how this edge effect changes between different types of tree species and site types.
The data was collected from an electric power line going from the north to the south of
Sweden. The mean value of the clearcutted area around the power line was 120 meters. The
main direction of the storm in January 2005 was west-southwest and thus the power line was a perfect place for gathering a large data set.
The main parameter studied was the damage frequency at the edge of the forest compared to
the trees located further in from the edge (up to 100 m from the power line). Tree species mixture, soil moisture class, soil type, topography, stand height, stand height of the stand on the other side of the power line and wind exposition was estimated.
The results showed a distinct edge effect. The edge of the forest had clearly lower damage frequency for all tree species.
A marked difference was observed between tree species and damage frequency.

Danmarksplass : förslag till ett stadsrum
Danmarksplass is situated just outside the centre of the city of Bergen on the Norwegian west coast. It was built in the 1930Žs as a result of an architecture competition won by the prominent Norwegian architect Ole Landmark. Danmarksplass was originally meant to function as a local square, but its location next to Fjösangerveien, a road that caters for most of the through traffic in the Bergen valley today and is part of one of the main European roads, E39, would prove it difficult for that idea to prevail. Along with the ever increasing car traffic, Danmarksplass has more and more become a very busy traffic junction. Nowadays the car is the sole ruler of Danmarksplass.

FrÄn vÀpnad oppositionsgrupp till politiskt parti- En komparativ studie om transformeringen och institutionaliseringen av RENAMO, FRELIMO och SWAPO i Moçambique och Namibia
This thesis explores and compares the former armed opposition groups; Mozambique National Resistance (RENAMO), Front for the Liberation of Mozambique (FRELIMO) and South West Africa People's Organization (SWAPO) transformation processes into political parties. The first question addressed is; What factors determines the ability of these armed opposition groups to transform into political parties after armed conflict? The question is addressed through four structural and organizational factors; international involvement, the organizations ideology and identity, their ability to change inter-elite relationships and their ability to change collective incentive strategies. The second question addressed is if the transformations process can affect the parties? degree of institutionalization? The degree of institutionalization is examined through the party's adaptility, complexity, autonomy and coherence.
I Àran att vara kvinna : Genussyn och dess anvÀndning inom new age
New Age has often been described as a religion pertaining to women and studies has shown that women do indeed constitute the vast majority. A reversal of hierarchy between feminine and masculine attributes and values, common in a modern western society, has also been shown to occur.This study looks at how the feminine is visible in written text and pictures depicting people, more specifically in the periodical magazine Free that has a circulation of circa 25,000. The main bulk of the magazine is advertisements, and one reoccurring part is the article Frimodigt where several of the magazine?s advertisers take part in a short interview. Twelve of these interviews have been analyzed, along with depictions of 518 people from three issues.The theoretical framework that has been applied to the outcome of my analysis has been social constructivism, with particular emphasis on the paper Doing gender by the professors of sociology Candace West and Don Zimmerman.My findings indicate that the feminine, indeed, is thought of as very positive and sometimes contrasted with the masculine.
Förslag till förnyelse av en villatrÀdgÄrd i Limhamn, inspirerat av egnahemsrörelsens trÀdgÄrdar :
The population growth in Europe and with that in Sweden was enormous
under 18th century. The results became housing shortage in large part
of Europe.
Tight residency/ inhabited, poverty and emigration were series of social
questions in Sweden.
Private house (egnahem) as in the beginning was an idea from England and
Germany became a political measure and the answer at those miserable
social circumstances in Sweden.
The purpose with the private house (egnahem) was to help those new
people moved in to towns with place to live and counteract movers to
towns and emigration. With the governmental loan and land availability
that some municipalities and wealthy people contributed with, could
people get a place to live with the small garden.
The city garden (trÀdgÄrdstaden) with their future idealistic idea/utopia,
English gardens, ideas with roots in the old-fashioned gardens (allmogetrÀdgÄrdar)
and lots of books and periodicals were the source of inspirations.
From these the private house gardens (egnahemstrÀdgÄrdar) were
born.
Object for my study is my and my family?s own house in Limhamn,
south west of Malmö which was built in 1912 under private house gardens
era. The garden and the building have still trace and element from
the time of private house.
My suggestion is inspired by the private home style with a new thinking
design that answers to daily need and the busy life style; a rather easy to
maintain for green environment.
A more relaxing and peaceful garden with simple design, a garden
despite that it is surrounded by neighbours and streets invites in harmony
and dreams..

Stormwater is surface runoff water that originates from precipitation or snowmelt and that on hardened surfaces prevents to infiltrate the ground. In city areas stormwater can consists of major amounts pollutants and when reaching a lake or watercourse it can cause damages on vegetation and animals. Therefore it is important to treat polluted stormwater before it reaches the recipient.
The municipality of Ărebro have since the 90ies an extensive work with treatment of stormwater in sedimentation ponds. A new stormwater treatment project is planned in an industrial estate in SkebĂ€ck, Ărebro.

VÀrldsarvstaden Falun : Ett vÀrldsarvs pÄverkan pÄ marknadsföringen av en destination
This paper discusses the world heritage of Falun and its influence on the marketing of Falun as a destination. The reason for this study is the fact that world heritage nominations can lead to an increased pressure on the destination and an increase in popularity for the place. A world heritage is something unique and odd that can be used in the marketing of the destination in the purpose of attracting tourists, company investments and so on. It has been vital for the study to interview people that work with marketing or have important rolls within the world heritage.With this background the study is focused on three major questions:What meaning does the world heritage have in the marketing of Falun?Is the world heritage important for Falun? If yes: For who and why?Which organisations/persons in Falun have the greatest influence on the marketing process?In order to answer or discuss this question there are discussions in the paper regarding the notions of place marketing as well as the importance of a well outlined marketing strategy as a basis for the formulation of a product portfolio and segmentation strategy as well as strategy for developing a strong profile on the market.The answers to the question are relative and can have a different view in the future.
Synen pÄ "den andre" i ett segregerat omrÄde i Kalmar : en studie gjord ur tvÄ utlandsfödda mÀns perspektiv
Edward Said's book Orientalism (1978) is the most important reference point in the post-colonial theory and describes how the West is dominant over the Orient. There is a clear distinction between "us" and "the other" and the purpose of this study is that, from a postcolonial perspective, focusing on Said's theoretical concepts "the other" and "discourse", examining how two foreign-born people with ethnic backgrounds living in the same place, are looking at themselves, at other foreign-born and native Swedes. My questions to answer this are; ?what are the concepts of "the other" and "discourse" and is it possible to use these concepts to examine how foreign-born people are looking at themselves, at other foreign-born and native Swedes in a specific location??, ?who is "the other" in a place where there are almost as many native Swedes as foreign-born??, and ?how do these two foreign-born people with ethnic backgrounds perceive Norrliden as a place and what effect has that place had on their identity?? I have used a post-colonial philosophical ground and a qualitative approach, focusing on two different interviews with two men, living in Norrliden. In Norrliden almost 50% of the inhabitants are foreign-born were both of the interview-persons are feeling safe and secure.
Ăst  och  VĂ€st:  Kommer  vi  nĂ„gonsin  mötas?  Analys av hur Hollywood representerar mĂ€nniskor frĂ„n Mellanöstern. East and the West: Will we ever meet? An analysis of how Hollywood represents people of the Middle East.
DÄ antagonismen mellan öst och vÀst forstÀtter att eskalera i vÄrt postindustriella samhÀlle Àr det viktigt att ta reda pÄ de bidragande faktorer som leder till en fortsatt motsÀttning. Det Àr min uppfattning att Hollywood Àr en bidragande faktor till denna antagonism. Det Àr Àven min Äsikt att Hollywood blir pÄverkade av USA:s Mellanösternpolitik i utformandet av de filmer dÀr mÀnniskor frÄn Mellanöstern och islam portrÀtteras.
Syftet med studien Àr att utifrÄn teorier sÄsom orientalism, stereotypering, representation och common-sense antaganden analysera nio utvalda Hollywoodfilmer. Tre frÄn 1960-talet, tre frÄn 1990-talet och tre frÄn 2000-talet för att klarlÀgga hur mÀnniskor frÄn Mellanöstern framstÀlls och hur islam representeras.
Syftet Àr Àven att med hjÀlp av Faircloughs kritiska diskursanalys belysa hur samhÀllet pÄverkar Hollywoods produktioner och hur dessa i sin tur pÄverkar samhÀllet. Mot bakgrund av detta Àr Faircloughs trestegsmodell lÀmplig för att tydligöra det dialektiska samspel som existerar mellan samhÀlle och produktionen av film.
UtifrÄn de teorier och metod som har presenterats har jag funnit att de nio utvalda filmerna framstÀller mÀnniskor frÄn Mellanöstern och islam pÄ ett negativt sÀtt.
