I denna uppsatsen intervjuas behandlare som arbetar på kriscen

Kommunernas uppdrag är omfattande, samtidigt som många kommuner har det tufft ekonomiskt. Skolor ska drivas, vård och omsorg skötas, avfall hämtas och gator asfalteras, och mycket mer därtill. Att klimatfrågan kan hamna längre ner på dagordningen är därför föga förvånande. Samtidigt kan, och behöver, en del av växthusgasutsläppen hanteras på just lokal nivå. En strategi för att öka klimatfrågans gA growing research field shows that climate mitigation measures can entail numerous co-benefits for other policy areas, including improved air quality, enhanced energy security and reduced maintenance costs. One possible strategy for enhancing climate action can be to emphasize these co-benefits. However, research has shown that co-benefits are seldom included when climate mitigation measures are
Eller kemisk förångningsdeposition av titanoxykarbid. En undersökning av processparameterna i perspektivet av ett bindningslager i ett vändskär med hjälp av experimentdesignprogrammet MODDE. Titanoxykarbid är ett material med ovanliga egenskaper och bland annat har femfaldigt symmetriska multipeltvinnade kristaller och högindexerade kristallkorn blivit erhållna.Ti(C,O) coatings have been generated in a hot wall CVD system on WC/Co, fine and coarse grained Ti(C,N), TiN, Cr and c-BN substrates. The research in this thesis has focused on deposition, characterization, and analysis in the perspective of the bonding layer of a coated insert. The precursors, H2, TiCl4, CO, temperature and pressure have been coupled to the texture using a Design of Experiment so
In a developmental context, income inequality has so far been investigated primarily from the angle of its relationship with economic growth. This paper contributes to the limited but growing body of empirical literature examining the interplay between income inequality and human development, here perceived through the capabilities approach. Fixed effects models do not suggest the existence of a w
In post-bureaucratic organizations, coworkers have progressively acquired more importance in decision-making and strategy processes and, simultaneously, are expected to perform new communicative roles. Yet, there is a strong managerial focus in organizational communication research that has overlooked the role of coworkers as communicators, and the studies that have focused on the topic have empha
Social work has increasingly come under the requirement of evidence-based practice, which might not consider the processes of individual change taking place outside of the field of social work. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore the process of turning points and individuals’ desistance from substance abuse. For this study we also looked into the importance of social relationships duri
Vattenkraft tillsammans med kärnkraft är dominerade energikällor i Sverige. Vattenkraften är till skillnad från kärnkraften en förnybar energikälla. Vattenkraften är vidare ett klimatvänligt energislag eftersom det inte orsakar koldioxidutsläpp under drift. Dessutom har vattenkraften unika förmågor som regler- och lagringskraft, vilket innebär en stor trygghet för Sveriges energisystem och samhällSweden has received criticism for insufficient implementation of the European Water Framework Directive (WFD). The quality of Swedish water does not meet the conditions according to the EU. Hydropower is a climate friendly and important energy source, helping Sweden to reach the goals in energy policy. Nevertheless, hydropower causes environmental footprint in different ways. In order to implement

Improving energy efficiency in buildings is an important part of the EU’s ambitions to address climate change and other environmental, social and economic challenges. This is a role that is traditionally taken on by varying levels of governments, each level addressing elements that fall within their areas of jurisdiction. In today’s increasingly decentralised and yet simultaneously complex, integr

Persons with disabilities and women in particular have historically been stigmatized, discriminated and excluded in various decision making processes at global, regional,
Hafnia-based ferroelectrics show great promise as future nonvolatile memory devices, however, their issues regarding device inconsistency across their lifetime, coupled with the relatively short total lifetime, makes these devices only theoretical as of now. In this thesis, an ALD deposition recipe for lanthanum oxide deposition was created. Using this recipe, lanthanum-doped hafnia thin films were
