Mindre företag upplever ofta en del hinder vid införande av miljölednings-system såsom ISO14001 och EMAS. Standarderna uppfattas som byråkratiska och införandet tar för mycket resurser i anspråk, i form av både tid och pengar. I Storbritannien har en ny standard för miljöledning tagits fram för att bättre passa framförallt mindre företag. Standarden, BS 8555,erbjuder ett stegvist införande av ett

På det individuella planet handlar politisk konsumtion till stor del om att uttrycka en etisk, politisk eller miljömässig åsikt genom att välja och välja bort varor på marknaden. Denna uppsats flyttar fokus till kollektiva aktörer och betraktar politisk konsumtion som ett verktyg. Syftet är att besvara huruvida sociala rörelser kan och faktiskt använder sig av detta.

The aim of this thesis is to investigate why the municipality of Lund has not done more, in relation to LundaMaTs, to inform and promote the purchasing of organic provisions to the public. This is of interest since it is determined in the Rio Declaration and Agenda 21 that the current unsustainable production and consumption patterns need to change. The local authorities play an important role
Med denna studie avser vi att identifiera vilka hinder som finns i demokratise-ringsprocessen. För att göra detta använder vi oss utav en historisk-sociologisk te-ori, presenterad utav Rueschemeyer, Stephens, Stephens (1992). Teorin bygger på antagandet att det är maktrelationen mellan samhällets klasser som styr förutsätt-ningarna för en demokratisk utveckling, där en stark markägande elit samt e
Under 1990-talet förändrades villkoren för de ideella organisationerna i Sverige. De tidigare generella bidragen ersattes med resultatinriktade bidrag och kontrakt, så kallat entreprenörskap. Den nya bidragspolitiken har medfört stora förändringar för de ideella organisationerna eftersom kommunen som ledande aktör har fått ett allt större inflytande på deras verksamheter. Vi har genom samtalsinter

För etthundrafjorton år sedan sa en man vid namn Oskar Trapp att Helsingborg behöver ett museum. Etthundratolv år senare invigdes Dunkers Kulturhus, ett efterlängtat tillskott till kulturutbudet i staden. Under de två år som huset har funnits har vissa grupper lyst med sin frånvaro. En av de grupperna är invandrare. Eftersom Dunkers Kulturhus ska finnas där för allaså behövdes det en plan för att
The frequent replacement of office furniture contributes to the increasing production of solid waste that leads to the use of more landfill space. Germany only produces approximately 700000 t of office furniture waste per year whereas most of this waste goes to landfill or incin-eration (Nolte, 2001). In addition, there are concerns about the use of hazardous chemicals in office furniture producti

However, there are cases where corrupted politicians maintain their popularity, a phenomenon studied in this thesis.

Presentation of problem: The movement of sediment parallel to the coast by waves and currents is known as longshore sediment transport or littoral transport. Throughout the years, researchers have found that knowledge of longshore sediment transport is important in connection with coastal engineering design, such as construction of breakwaters at harbour entrances, dredging of navigation channels,
The present study investigated the effects of three factors on the level of realism in frequency judgements. These factors were: Instruction (No correction for guessing/Correction for guessing), Format (whether the frequency judgements were made in terms of absolute numbers or in percent) and Difficulty level (easy/hard set of questions). All three factors were found to have a significant effect o
Parallel trade in goods is generally viewed as a positive phenomenon within the EU as a consequence of the principle free movement of goods: When traders buy goods in one part of the common market at a low price and transfer it to a higher priced area, allowing them to undercut those prices, then this will enhance competition, drive down prices and give consumers more choice- an overall positive e
Uppsatsen handlar om grunderna för rättsligt föräldraskap, konstruktionen av dess rättsverkningar i allmänhet och vårdnadsansvaret i synnerhet samt denna konstruktions kompatibilitet med familjer som inte faller in under begreppet kärnfamilj. Den deskriptiva delen av uppsatsen innehåller ett inledande resonemang kring begreppen förälder och vårdnad, en genomgång av rättsläget rörande fastställande
Det finns idag nationella målsättningar om att öka andelen resor som genomförs med cykel och arbetet sker bland annat genom förbättrad infrastruktur. En del av infrastrukturen som idag anses vara bristfällig är cykelparkering vid bostaden, vilket somliga kommuner börjat reglera genom att ställa krav vid nybyggnation. Men trots att arbetet med frågan blir vanligare finns bristfällig kunskap kring bThere are national goals in Sweden for increasing the proportion of trips made by bicycle. Many believe that this partly can be achieved by improving bicycle infrastructure and recently parking facilities have been gaining more attention in bicycle planning. Most bicycle trips start or end at home and this is also the location where many bikes are parked a majority of the time. However, there is a
Japanese knotweed, Reynoutria japonica, is a highly invasive alien species which has spread in Europe and America since it was introduced in the middle of 1800. Its ability to outcompete and suppress native plants and combined with its resilience and regenerative properties makes it difficult to control. Therefore, multiple methods have been tried to control this plant, but with varying success. T
