Att vår planet står inför miljörelaterade hot har nog inte undgått någon. Vad som inte är lika känt är vilken roll IT har i sammanhanget. År 2010 stod IT för cirka 2 % av de totala utsläppen av växthusgaser, vilket är en siffra i nivå med flygindustrins utsläpp. Den påtagliga inverkan som IT har visat sig ha på vår miljö har gett upphov till ökade insatser på området. Begreppet grön IT blir allt v

People are moving from rural to urban areas at an unprecedented rate, resulting in a high concentration of people subsisting on outside resources being constantly brought in. This presents a variety of complex sustainability problems. It is a resource-intensive system susceptible to supply shocks which could threaten food security. Many foods grow in cities, such as fruits on city trees, so utilis

Global exploration and production of minerals is increasingly located in areas populated by indigenous people. Conflicts that arise between multinational corporations and local activists and/or indigenous people are widespread while the understanding of such issues are still lacking. The Swedish government encouraging an expanding mining industry have caused great resistance, particularly due to t

Undersökningen har primärt riktat sig mot den agila projektledningsmetoden SCRUM och eventet Sprint Review. Problemet för denna uppsats grundar sig i att teorin undviker att tillhandahålla specifik information vid ett verklighetsbaserat genomförande. Information som exempelvis definition av övriga intressenter och deras ansvarsområde framgår inte. Vidare påvisas en tydlig avsaknad av information g

Den här uppsatsen kommer att undersöka de svenska avdragsbegränsningarna för ingående mervärdesskatt vid utgift för stadigvarande bostad, representation och liknande samt personbilar och motorcyklar förenlighet med mervärdesskattedirektivets artikel 176. Detta görs då förenligheten har ifrågasatts både i doktrin och i ett rättsfall från Kammarrätten. Uppsatsen går igenom artikel 176 i mervärdesska

I en tid präglad av globalisering, teknisk innovation och individualism har kampen om talangfulla medarbetare vuxit fram. Arbetsgivarens behov av att framstå och uppfattas som attraktiv har kommit att bli betydande, speciellt i relation till Generation Y som olikt tidigare generationer byter arbetsgivare flera gånger under sin yrkeskarriär. En generationskohort, så som Generation Y, består av indiIn an era characterized by globalization, technological innovation and individualism the battle for top talent has emerged.

Our purpose in this study was to investigate how the unemployed foreign-born youths describe their situation as unemployed in relation to that they are foreign-born. The study was based on two main issues: how do youths in the age of 18-24 experience that their ability to become employed is affected by the fact that they are foreign-born and how do these youths describe their situation as unemploy

Change towards a sustainable company is driven either by media or the company, the argument goes. It is though questionable, if companies as individual actors have an impact on the environment at all, or if they are too small in the global economy. Using the macro- economic gravity model, the size question can be answered positively, the companies do have an impact. Thus reasons why companies chan

We think that we as future social workers often can come across mental crisis in our work. As we think we don´t learn enough about ment

This thesis presents an argumentative discourse analysis of the municipal-led urban regeneration initiative the Regeneration Dialogue in Lindängen, Malmö, Sweden. As suggested by the so-called Malmö Commission, the Regeneration Dialogue attempts to establish extensive regeneration of a socioeconomically disadvantaged neighbourhood without producing negative outcomes of current residents. With the

Föreliggande uppsats syftar till att analysera det uppror som skildras i Suzanne Collins The Hunger Games-trilogi. Med grund i Michail Bachtins tankar om folkets möjlighet till uppror i karnevalen och den folkliga festen anläggs ett karnevalsperspektiv på framförallt övergripande händelseförlopp, men även specifika händelser och företeelser i Collins bokserie. Efter en inledande beskrivning av karThe aim of this thesis is to analyze the uprising depicted in Suzanne Collin’s The Hunger Games-trilogy. Using the ideas of carnival and vernacular humour presented by Mikhail Bakhtin a carnival perspective is applied to the course of events in Collin’s trilogy. Following a description of carnival as theory in the study of literature in general and more specifically children’s literature, the carn

Syftet med uppsatsen var att utvärdera dialektisk beteendeterapi för ungdomar, en behandling som initialt utvecklats för en äldre patientgrupp. Inledningsvis jämfördes patienternas (N = 33, ålder = 13-17) skattningar innan behandlingen, gällande psykiatrisk problematik, anknytningsdimensioner samt temperaments- och karaktärsfaktorer, mot normgrupper. För en mindre grupp (N = 10) undersöktes däreftThe purpose of the paper was to evaluate a Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) treatment for adolescents, a treatment that was originally developed for older patient groups. First patients (N = 33, age = 13-17) were compared with norm groups on current psychiatric problems, attachment dimensions (ASQ) and temperament and character factors (TCI). The adolescent patient group differed in most of thes

Urban transportation is becoming increasingly challenging in the face of growing cities, urban sprawl and a rising trend in car use. Beyond the direct impacts of motorized transports, the development of extensive car infrastructure exacerbates social differences, especially in urban areas. The social dimension of transport is however marginalized in the current model of transport planning and sign

Byggsektorn står för ca 40% av Sveriges årliga totala energiförbrukning. För att minska denna siffra är ett alternativ är att bygga hus som förbrukar mindre energi. Exempel på en sådan hustyp är passivhus och därför är dessa intressanta att studera närmare med avseende på tillverkningsenergi. I rapporten har tre passivhus (Emrahuset, Passivhuset och Ytonghuset) i olika utföranden jämförts tillsamm
