Virtual meetings and virtual collaboration technologies are applications where ICT could potentially be used to green business activities. There are, however, uncertainties and disagreements about the organisational effects of increased use of these technologies, which makes it difficult to measure and follow up on outcomes. This thesis explores the potential effects that virtual meetings and vir

The WEEE Directive requires the producers to fulfil e-waste compliance according to the extended producer responsibility (EPR) principle. In order for producers to comply with the requirements nationally, collective compliance schemes were formed. Usually the manufacturers join together and form producer responsibility organisations (PROs) which take the responsibility for organising the waste man

Popular science General introduction Two main activities take place into forests: photosynthesis, or GPP (the uptake of CO2 by plants, which leads to their growth) and respiration (the release of CO2 by those plants). The Net Ecosystem Exchange NEE is the difference between photosynthesis and respiration, and it depends on the nature of the forests and on climate particularities. With the ongoing This study shows how six different European forests react during the summer to abnormally warm temperatures, from 1996 to 2006. With the forecasted increase of summer temperatures over Europe, the carbon balance of forests – photosynthesis (GPP), ecosystem respiration and Net Ecosystem Exchange - in likely to change. In this thesis, the photosynthesis and the respiration of six European forests w

I södra Kanada finns ett område med mängder av unikt välbevarade fossil från silurperioden (444-416 miljoner år sedan). I berglager från det så kallade Eramosaområdet har nu omkring 425 miljoner år gamla fossila rester efter havsborstmaskar hittats. Eftersom dessa djur består av mjuka vävnader som snabbt bryts ner efter döden så är det framför allt deras käkar, eller scolecodonter, som bevaras somThe Silurian Eramosa Lagerstätte in Ontario, Canada, is represented by three distinguished biotas (1 to 3) with exceptionally well preserved fossils. In this study, the jawed polychaete fauna is described and discussed for the first time, on the basis of scolecodonts and jaw apparatuses, recovered from Biota 1 and 3. One new paulinitid species, Kettnerites sp. a, is described from a wealthy collec

Ett första steg i arbetet att uppskatta kolflödet mellan landbaserade ekosystem och atmosfären är att så precist som möjligt analysera kvantiteten ovanjordisk biomassa. LiDAR teknologi har i detta avseende visat sig vara ett värdefullt verktyg. Det överlöpande målet med denna studie är att utveckla en förenklad metod, baserad på fjärranalys, för att uppskatta ovanjordisk biomassa för individuella As a first step in the assessment of carbon flux between the terrestrial environment and the atmosphere it is important to accurately quantify the carbon stock of forest ecosystems. LiDAR technology, in this respect, has proved to be a valuable tool, able to provide accurate estimates of aboveground biomass (AGB). The overall goal of this study was to develop a simplified method for assessing AGB

Syftet med denna uppsats var att undersöka effekterna av användningen av Facebook för organisationer med fokus på ungdomar inom socialt arbete med fokus på vad organisationsrepresentanterna har för syn på professionalitet kopplat till Facebook och även hur detta påverkar deras roll som socialarbetare och relationen till ungdomarna. Vi utförde två kvalitativa metoder. En innehållsanalys över offici”We're also on Facebook!” Organizations, that work in the social field focusing on adolescents, view on professionalism on Facebook The aim of this paper was to examine the impact of the use of Facebook for organizations focusing on adolescents within the social work. More specifically was to find out what view the organizations representatives have on professionalism when using Facebook. Als

Sverige behöver ett förbättrat konsumentkreditskydd. Fler sms-lån än någonsin har hittills i år hamnat i Kronofogdemyndighetens register som obetalda. Konsumenternas skydd är i stort sett verkningslöst, många sms-långivare missköter kreditupplysningarna och ger ut lån till människor som redan är skuldsatta. Förslag till förbättringar för konsumenternas skydd på sms-lånemarknaden finns. Nu återstår

The aim of this essay was to study how posters on the internet forum Flashback discuss social assistance and social assistance recipients. Research show that there is a tendency in today’s society to interpret the reasons for receiving social assistance as having individualistic causes. This is in spite of the fact that studies show that the individuals’ ability to provide for oneself often have s

The bachelor thesis was to create a GPS tracking system for Svep Design Center AB. The system would consist of two major parts which were linked together through a common database. One part consisted of a cell phone application were the user can transmit their current position and the other part was a web application where the position data is presented on a map outlining the route of the user. Si

This study challenges existing dogma of economists and environmentalists with a finding that sustainable consumption in industrial societies is impossible within standard models of growth because the approaches that are being taken to investments (in new technologies) are linked with and dependent on increased consumption as a requirement of innovation and as part of ideology in societies. Though

Recent discussions about a stolen cultural heritage have resulted in several repatriation claims from indigenous people. These claims are often considered a way to disengage from a coloni-al past. There are numerous conventions and ethical guidelines about repatriation to consider; nevertheless repatriation cases are being handled in different ways across the globe. In 2004 the Jewish congregation

Previous studies have shown a correlation between nature connection and pro environmental behavior. Simultaneously, urbanisation amongst other causes has led to decreased human contact with nature. However, local outdoor recreation is considered an option for spending time in nature despite living in urban areas. Drawing from the above, there are reasons to study whether local outdoor recreation c

Rapporten är en del av kursen Brandteknisk Riskvärdering vid Lunds Tekniska Högskola. Syftet är att analysera och utvärdera personsäkerheten på Confidencen, Ulriksdals Slottsteater, vid händelse av brand. Confidencen är byggnadsminnesmärket och är Sveriges äldsta rokokoteater som bedriver teater- och operaverksamhet. Publiken består till mestadels av äldre personer där byggnaden rymmer maximalt 25This rapport is a part of the course “Brandteknisk riskvärdering” given at Lund University of Technology. The purpose of this report is to evaluate the fire safety and evacuation possibilities of the theater Confidencen with the focus on personal safety of the people in the building. If necessary, suggestions of improvements in the fire safety will be provided. Confidencen is the oldest Rococo the

The purpose of this study was to get a better understanding of why professionals in social work or field work don’t work with questions regarding sexual health for people with an intellectual disability. We hope that this study could provide more knowledge on how professionals guide or don’t guide individuals with an intellectual disability in their sexual health and open up the discussion on the
