Den svenska staten bedriver affärsverksamhet via ett femtiotal företag av vilka staten äger minst 50% av företaget i 43 av fallen. År 2007 antog den svenska regeringen en rad nya riktlinjer gällande hållbarhetsrapportering för dessa företag. Dessa nya riktlinjer skulle tas i bruk från och med räkenskapsåret 2008. Hållbarhetsrapporteringen, dvs. den icke finansiella rapporteringen av dessa svenska In 2007 the Swedish government adopted a set of guidelines mandating all Swedish state-owned companies to conduct a non financial report i.e. a sustainability report that is to be independently verified. The sustainability report is to be in line with the internationally recognized Global Reporting Initiative framework (G3), a framework of guidelines for how to conduct sustainability reports. The

Min forskningsfråga är i vilken utsträckning rätten till abort är skyddad i Europarådets system, med fokus på rättspraxis från den Europeiska domstolen för de mänskliga rättigheterna. Teorier och förklaringsmodeller som används för att analysera policybeslut, lagstiftning och rättsfall gällande abort i Europarådet presenteras först. I korthet menar dessa teorier att det finns en strukturell diskrMy research question is to what extent the right to abortion is protected in the Council of Europe system, with a focus on the case law of the European Court of Human Rights. First, theories and models of explanation are presented that are used to analyse the policies, legislation and cases on the issue abortion the Council of Europe. In short, these theories state that there is a structural disc

The present paper discusses the process of young immigrant integration from the point of view of policymakers. The focus in narrowed to application of multiculturalism in pre-primary, primary and secondary education strategies as a tool for integration. Interpretation of multiculturalism is compared in two countries – Germany and Sweden and on two levels – national and supranational. The paper is

This bachelor thesis studies the process of the culture and arts economic support system in the municipality of Lund. It aims to define problems concerning the current support system, which in the present situation appears in form of a stagnant cultural eco system. To do this participant observation have been used as a method and interviews and communications analysis as complementary methods. The

The aim of this study is to describe and explain what cities should consider when designing a locked bicycle parking. Furthermore, the study will clarify and question the concept of municipalities providing locked bicycle parking, on the basis of the demand and appreciation. The idea of the study is also of to examine how well the overall objective of the locked cycle garages conform to the users

Thesis purpose: The purpose of this master thesis is to investigate the expectations of roles between supplier sales representatives and retailer store personnel in relation to in-store campaigns, this in order to enhance effectiveness of these functions creating an increase in consumer response. Methodology: The researchers believe that social phenomenon and their meanings are continually being a

Detta är en kandidatuppsats skriven vid Lunds Universitet i samarbete med E.ON Vind Sverige AB. Uppsatsen är en studie i hur det omgivande landskapet påverkar vindklimatet på en specifik plats. För att undersöka teorin om landskapets påverkan på vinden har tre olika mätmaster valts ut: en placerad i havet, en på slättland och en i skogsmiljö. Samtliga är landskapstyper representerade inom den svenThis is a bachelor thesis written at Lund University in cooperation with E.ON Vind Sverige AB. The thesis is a study that investigates how the surrounding landscape affects the wind climate at a specific site. The wind data used comes from three different met masts situated in the ocean, on plain land and in woodland respectively. The wind analysis is based on five parameters: turbulence intensity

The purpose of the report is to investigate and evaluate how a global company can use different strategies to achieve competitive advantages for the future. The existing Customer Relation Management (CRM) department in FLSmidth will be investigated to se if possible improvements can be made to make the department become the competitive advantage that it is intended to be. Methodology: To be able t

Svår, elakartad och längre gången cancer är ett stort problem i förhindrande av spridda tumörceller i kroppen. I detta sjukdomsstadium är oftast en lindrande (palliativ) behandlingsform enda vägen att välja för att hjälpa patienten. För närvarande sker detta genom att patienten får genomlida extern strålbehandling eller cellgiftsbehandling. Radioaktivt märkta och ”målsökande” antikroppar injicerNew radionuclide therapies in humans should be preceded by experimental animal therapies, in order to evaluate the efficacy of the new therapy regime. These experimental studies have to be performed with a reliable and accurate quantification system, with properties that have been evaluated and where possible flaws have been corrected for. The aim of this work was to evaluate the SPECT pinhole col

Min undersökning går ut på att undersöka vilken påverkan symfonisk spelmusik kan ha på ungdomars musiksmak. Under en sonderande undersökning upptäckte jag att onlinespelet World of Warcraft var vanligt förekommande bland unga spelare och eftersom detta spel har symfonisk musik baserar jag min undersökning på World of Warcraft. Sex kvalitativa forskningsintervjuer utförs med ungdomar som är aktiva The meaning of game music? - A qualitative interview study of World of Warcrafts soundtrack and its effect on adolescent's musical taste The purpose of this study is to investigate which effect symphonic music in games has on the musical taste of adolescents. During the preparatory research I noticed that the online-game World of Warcraft was common amongst many young players and since this ga

Imaging of stellar surfaces in visible wavelengths is one of the current frontiers in astronomy. With a few exceptions, stars can not be seen in visible light as anything but point objects with current technology. Being able to properly image stars would open up the door to a vast field of new discoveries, permitting direct studies of phenomena such as rotationally deformed stars, circumstellar di

The shielding at an accelerator-driven spallation neutron facility plays a critical role in the performance of the neutron scattering instruments, the overall safety, and the total cost of the facility. Accurate simulation of shielding components is thus key for the design of upcoming facilities, such as the European Spallation Source (ESS), currently in construction in Lund, Sweden. In this paper

Försäkringskassan är en central del av den svenska välfärdsstaten och för¬medlar mycket stora penningsummor. De förändringar som myndigheten har genomfört under senare tid i form av ny organisation och ändrade besl¬utsregler har varit omdiskuterade. Kritiker har pekat på bristande effektivi¬tet, försenade utbetalningar och hjärtlös regeltillämpning. Ett antal vägval har gjorts för att söka hitta l

In this paper I have tried to find out the reason the medieval town of Vä was created. I have studied several different areas in witch all, in one way or another, have had an effect on the making of Vä. This areas includes topography, iron production, mill handling, religious effects, royal affliction and also if the name Vä could tell something about Väs history as a religious cult. I have also l

Where the 1990s was the era of multilateral trade liberalisation, the current agriculture-focused multilateral trade talks have dragged on with missed deadlines accompanied by a reluctance to act. In spite of this reluctance, there has been an emergence and proliferation of Free Trade Agreements in East Asia. These FTAs have provided briskly growing economies with the opportunity to develop discri

Human rights have their roots in citizen's rights. The development of citizen's rights has been centring on property rights. Property rights own its root to Rome. Private property rights are crucial elements in the Roman law, but were less recognized in the Middle Ages. Then it revives in the medieval cities. This thesis explores the development of property rights in Europe with the transf

Material- and Energy efficiency is necessary for the creation of a sustainable society. Based on an assumed need for sustainable design to be more cost efficient in highly cost conscious markets, such as in China, this thesis rapport presents a working model for implementation of sustainable alternatives to traditional measures. Focus is laid on potentiating not only from an environmental perspect
