Interviews have been conducted with six students in the 9th grade. The conclusion of the survey indicates that the students generally have a satisfying knowledge about the phenomenon and that they know how they should behave from an environmental perspective..

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to find out how much influence underlying factors have in connection to the internationalization of Born Global firms.

Under de senaste 20 a?ren har born Global-fo?retag, som fenomen, sta?tt i rampljuset fo?r forskning. Detta fenomen anses av vissa forskare strida mot tidigare ka?nda internationaliseringsteorier. Uppsalamodellens fo?rklaringsgrad fo?r born Global-fo?retag har da?rmed blivit ifra?gasatt.Fra?gesta?llningen som denna uppsats har som ma?l att fo?rklara a?r om ett born Global-fo?retags internationalisering fo?rklaras av Uppsalamodellen? Om inte, hur kan man utveckla Uppsalamodellen till att a?ven inkludera born Global-fo?retag?Fo?r att underso?ka forskningsfra?gan har det genomfo?rts en granskande litteraturgenomga?ng, en sammansta?llning av born Global-fo?retag samt en fallstudie.

Container Security Initiative was launched in 2002 by the US Customs and Border Patrol in order to secure the Global flow of containers destined for USA. This thesis attempts to analyze Container Security Initiative in relation to a possible future scenario made by the weapons industry where the state's Global traderoutes are being subject to militarization. A development which is partly based on the threat posed by Global illegal trade. The latter is discussed and defined based on current research made by Carolyn Nordstrom, Moíses Naím and theories on the cosmopolitan perspective made by Ulrich Beck. Strategy documents concerning Container Security Initiative are then analyzed in terms of discourse to try to say something about what the program indicates.

Today the talk about Global warming and climate change are on top of the public agenda. There for schools and schoolbooks also debate the issue of Global warming. A newcomer on the school stage is the sponsored school materials that studies show to be a growing phenomenon. In a debate like that of Global warming which is filled with uncertainties and so much political and economic interest, I find it interesting to study how these schoolbooks talk about the issue.In my study I have tried to analyze and compare how school materials for primary school discuss the phenomenon of Global warming. I have compared two different types of schoolbooks.

Global warming is generally recognized as one of the major environmental challenges we have to face in the near future. The students in school today are the ones that will have to deal with the consequences of it tomorrow. That is why education about it is so important. Previous research shows that students believe that environmental issues in general are important problems to be solved. I this study I tested students in grade twelve, in four different schools in order to find out what their level of knowledge about Global warming is, how worried they are about it and if there are any correlation between their knowledge and their level of worry.

Research has shown positive correlations between Global self-esteem and physical activity, as well as between Global self-esteem and school performance.

This study aims to investigate the correlations between Global self-esteem and physical activities, school performance and social participations within high-school students in the northern part of Sweden. The study also investigates gender differences regarding correlations between the variables. The study was conducted using a questionnaire that included Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and self-rated physical activity, social participation and grades in Swedish, English and mathematics.

The Globalization of political and economic processes is a growing moral concern for theologians and political philosophers alike. My thesis aims to outline, analyze, and compare church studies of Globalization with Global theories of justice.To do this, I draw upon recent studies of Globalization made by the World Council of Churches (WCC) and the Lutheran World Federation (LWF). The WCC and LWF are two Global reaching church organizations. They have a common aim of uniting churches for ecumenical dialogue and are involved in social, economic, political, and ecological questions. The WCC and LWF analyze Globalization by applying biblical and theological principles from the Christian tradition.

This thesis deals with the theories of ecological and environmental justice and applies them onto Swedish politics. Confronting the divide in the literature between anthropocentric and ecocentric perspectives, its aim is to seek points of agreement within this important field of environmental politics. In the theoretical discussion, definitions are made of the concepts sustainability, justice and responsibility. These definitions try to link ecological and environmental justice arguments with a focus on the Global level.The object of analysis is the former Swedish governments? bill ?Common responsibility: Swedish politics for Global development? which was accepted in 2003.
