The waste treatment facility, Sobacken, is located south of Borås, Sweden. At Sobacken there is a lake built to collect the leachate from the area. Leachate is a term for water that has the potential of carrying environmentally hazardous substances, in this case water that might have passed through waste. This thesis focused on the development of a hydrological model that from common climate vari

Syftet med denna kandidatuppsats i pedagogik har varit att undersöka vilken betydelse mellanmänsklig kommunikation har för organisationer och verksamheter. Uppsatsens utgångspunkt hamnar varken i traditionell arbetslivspedagogik eller organisationslärande. Dessa två inriktningar är en del av uppsatsens teoretiska utgångspunkter men även pedagogisk retorik och relationell pedagogik används för att

This thesis examines the emerging scene of ensemble playing in Swedish traditional music from the beginning of the 1980s until present day. It is focused around eight interviews with some of the most influential musicians on the scene. All of them are still active today both as performers and teachers. The theoretical framework is mainly based around two different standpoints; Narrative analysis a

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Vart tog alla humlorna vägen? När såg du senast en humla? Har du en känsla av att du egentligen borde ha sett dem oftare? Det kan finnas en fullkomligt naturlig förklaring till den här känslan: humlorna minskar i antal och håller långsamt på att försvinna. Jag vill undersöka om detta verkligen håller på att hända. Riskerar vi att få leva i en framtid helt utaAbstract Bumble bees pollinate a wide range of crops; many of them being of importance to the global economy. It is believed that pollinators, including bumble bees, are declining due to habitat loss and transformation of high quality habitats into low quality habitats; a phenomenon often associated with modern agricultural practices. Some sources, however, claim that not all bumble bee species a

This study examines the work with the environmental goals in five small municipalities in northwestern Skåne, Sweden. The environmental goals are set nationally and are adjusted at a regional level. The municipalities then adjust the national and regional goals in varied extent to meet the local circumstances. The implementation and success of the work with environmental goals at local level is cr

Syfte: Denna studie syftar till att undersöka huruvida Stockholms hyresreglering har någon faktisk integrerande effekt i jämförelse med Oslos avreglerade hyresmarknad. Metod: I denna komparativa studie har vi samlat in tidsseriedata från hyresmarknaderna i Stockholm och Oslo och data på inkomstfördelningen i de båda städerna för att avgöra hur de olika systemen påverkar ekonomisk segregation. Te

In 2006 a new legislation regarding prohibition of discrimination and violations in schools was formed. A new conception regarding this, and the right for pupils to get damages, was also included in this new law. The thesis of this paper is to analyze the courts argumentation surrounding this new area of legislation. 14 sentences, both from upper and lower courts, have been the underlying empirica

Storms cause severe damages and cost lives. In order to assess the severity of storms, historical data sets such as reanalysis data can be employed. This kind of data is based on numerical weather prediction models. The realism of model data is limited by the spatial resolution of the model. A numerical weather prediction model is only as precise as its grid distance, meaning that a model cannot d

This thesis considers any existing representations of tragic themes in Plutarch's Lives of Demetrius and Antony. There is a modern debate regarding the nature of the tragic, which is initially adressed. The proposed themes are treated from the perspective of Plutarch's literary and moral intentions, namely the presentation of negative examples.

This master thesis investigates the possibilities to perform software validation tests on ECUs with customer-identical software. Instead of using a ”test specific” software which sends ”test specific” information on the CAN-bus this data is to be extracted from the target CPU by a JTAG debugger and integrated in the testing software CANoe. The benefit of this method is that it eliminates the probl

The aim of this thesis is to study the anthropology of contemporary Swedish ecotheology and theo­logy of creation, Bo Brander, Per Larsson and Wilfrid Stinissen, in comparison with the ecofeminist theology of Sallie McFague. The Swedish theologians in this study describe man as steward, micro­cosm, priest, co-sufferer and the image of God. McFague use the term partner when describing man, a term w

This research aims to explore how consumption impacts on the construction of affiliation boundaries within heterogeneous consumption-oriented subcultures. In order to accomplish this purpose, we have studied the growing phenomenon of barefoot running in relation to the consumption of minimalist footwear as a symbolic product. By doing so, we have explored how consumption vertebrates the subculture

Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är att utreda hur revisionsprocessen påverkas av redovisningsregelverken K2 och K3. Mer specifikt vill vi undersöka om bedömningen av risk och väsentlighet skiljer sig eftersom regelverken kategoriseras som regel- respektive principbaserade. Metod: Vi använder oss av ett induktivt förhållningssätt till teorin samt en kvalitativ undersökningsdesign. Teori: Teorin t

Mikroskopiska echinodermfossil har undersökts ur prover från täljstensintervallet och intillig-gande delar av ’lanna’- och ’holenkalkstenen’ i Hällekis stenbrott, Västergötland. Den undersökta sektionen är från översta volkhov och mellersta kunda, darriwilian (mellanordovicium). Tidigare studier har konkluderat att en regression/transgression skedde under den undersökta perioden, vilket bekräftas Microscopic echinoderms were studied in acid-insoluble residues from the Lanna and Holen limestones at Hällekis, Västergötland, Sweden. The section studied spans the uppermost Volkhov and lower–middle Kunda Baltoscandian stages, within the Darriwillian global Stage (Middle Ordovician). The echinoderms show an increase in abundance, accompanying falling sea levels during the well-recognized regress

Concerns about water scarcity in Sub-Saharan African countries, difficulties in accessing a safe and reliable water source is becoming a serious threat to both child health and mortality reduction. The major challenges of water access condition in most Sub-Saharan Africa nations are depending on water source and daily water fetching time. This thesis will look into these two factors, examining the

In this study it is shown that Skåne Nordväst, which is a partnership between 11 municipalities in northwest of Scania, has good grounds to be able to increase its use of electric vehicles and seems to be using the right strategies to do so. The increased use of electric vehicles is something that they intend with their new operational plan for 2014. Using of available research and literature of w
