In this essay I will look at the independence of the Swedish municipalities. By looking at articles for the biggest journal in Sweden on this subject Kommun aktuellt I will look at the discussion for the years of 1978 and 1998 to see if one can draw some parallels in the debate and see if some subjects are always returning in the agenda for the independence. The autonomy of the Swedish municipalit
Hållbarhet har under de senaste åren fått en allt större betydelse, då den globala uppvärmningen utgör en av vår tids största utmaningar. Fastighets- och byggsektorn står totalt för 40% av den totala energikonsumtionen i Europa. EU arbetar aktivt för att minska energiförbrukningen i byggnader genom direktivet om byggnaders energiprestanda (EPBD). Det långsiktiga målet med direktivet är att unionenSustainability has become increasingly important in recent years as global warming continues to be the most serious threat to our environment. The real estate sector accounts for 40 percent of the total energy consumption in Europe. To address this issue, the European Union initiated the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), which aims to reduce energy consumption and achieve a fully d

The intention of this thesis is to clarify what help is available to these girls. Honour- related crime was first discussed in Swedish society at the beginning of the 1990’s. Honour- related violence has its roots in a patriarchal power structur
This thesis analyzes the work of nonprofit organizations with migrant people through a gender perspective lens.In recent years the decline of the welfare state in Sweden, as well as the increasing proportion of migrants in Sweden's population, have led the nonprofit sector to play a more prominent role in providing social work services. The nonprofit sector has also had to comply with increasi

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen "Emancipation och religion. Den svenska kvinnorörelsens pionjärer i debatt om kvinnans kallelse ca 1860-1900" exponerar en komplex bild av den samhälleliga kontext som var rådande i emancipationsprocessens initialskede. Undersökningen ger vid handen att det vid denna tid förelåg ett samband mellan emancipation och sedlighet. Konservativa samhällsföreträdareThe purpose of the thesis is to chart the ideology that formed the basis for the initial stages of the emancipation of women in Sweden. The focus of the analysis is the debate over what constituted a woman's calling, and her place in public life. The early feminists possessed a Christian outlook with strong liberal overtones, and it was thus specifically theological arguments that the pioneering g
For how many years was a farmer responsible for running a farm in Sweden’s old peasant society’? This is the question that underpins my research into life in Ramkvilla parish in the province of Småland for two hundred years (1623–1819). By conducting a detailed study of farm practice at the individual level, I have been able to analyse a complex theme that touches upon the issues of responsibility
Control methods are being used increasingly for uncertainty management and QoS in modern web server systems. Previous approaches have suggested combined feed-forward and feedback control strategies, using queuing theory for feed-forward delay prediction. While queuing theory allows one to predict delay as a function of arrival and service rates, the prediction applies only to long-term averages, a
To utilise carbon dioxide as a resource rather than treating it only as a polluting greenhouse gas is gaining increased attention. Expectations on the future capabilities of technologies that could make utilisation of carbon dioxide possible are currently raised in scientific literature. These are in important ways shaping the development process by defining what is possible and desirable to devel
This paper discusses the COVID-19 pandemic as an opportunity to reconsider the foundations of the global aviation system. There is much evidence that air transport creates opportunities as well as risks. While the former accrue to businesses and individuals, risks are imposed on society. Pandemics, in which aviation has a role as a vector of pathogen distribution, as well as the sector's contribut
Håkan Wallander is a professor in Soil Biology and the reader is guided through the fascinating world below ground. The book has a free form and the author mixes scientific facts with personal stories from active research experiences and everyday life. The main focus is to make the reader aware of the vast biodiversity that exists in the soil, and to describe the important processes provided by th
This paper presents a comparison of horizontal equity in health care utilization in 10 European countries and the US. It does not only extend previous work by using more recent data from a larger set of countries, but also uses new methods and presents disaggregated results by various types of care. In all countries, the lower-income groups are more intensive users of the health care system. But a
A bark beetle attack in a Norway spruce forest in southwestern Sweden killed most trees, which however mostly remained standing, and caused elevated nitrate concentrations and subsequent acidification in the soil water. Long-term monitoring showed very low nitrate concentrations in the soil water before the bark beetle attack. High nitrate concentrations remained throughout five years after the in
This chapter explores the level and characteristics of the entrepreneurial activities of young people living in one such area, Bwaise, which is located on the outskirts of Kampala. Drawing on a participatory research methodology, it examines why and how young people establish businesses in a difficult urban environment and the range of challenges they face related to resource scarcity and inadequa
