Syfte: Uppsatsen syfte är uppdelat i två nivåer. Det grundläggande syftet är att studera om metoo-rörelsen har satt spår i svensk och brittisk hållbarhetsredovisning. Uppsatsens mer övergripande syfte är att, med hjälp av teori om nationell kultur och institutionell teori, undersöka vilken relation uppmärksammade samhällsfenomen har till redovisningspraktik. Metod: Uppsatsen tillvägagångssätt innePurpose: Fundamentally the purpose is to study if the metoo-movement has affected sustainability accounting in Sweden and in the UK. Using national culture and institutional theories, the more general purpose of examining the relationship between social phenomenon and accounting is carried out. Methodology: The approach consists of three stages. Firstly, a quantitative content analysis of the dat

“Light creates ambience and the feel of a place, as well as the expression of a structure.” Le Corbusier With the current urban pressure and large waves of immigration, cities are facing an increase in population and therefore urban densification. This increase in building quantities affects daylight reaching the public space. City densification is easily readable in large metropolitan areas, wh

As one of the largest economies in the world, Japan obtains great potential for foreign investors. Nonetheless, the Japanese market has been known to be difficult to penetrate for foreign companies.

I december 2015 skrev den svenska regering under FN:s Agenda 2030 bestående av 17 hållbarhetsmål med tillhörande 169 delmål. Mål 12, delmål 3 lyder: “Till 2030, halvera det globala matsvinnet per person i butik- och konsumentledet, och minska matsvinnet längs hela livsmedelskedjan, även förlusterna efter skörd.” Att fullt ätbar mat slängs belyser alla tre aspekter av begreppet hållbarhet på ett efIn 2015 the Swedish government signed the UN Agenda 2030 comprising of 17 Sustainable Development Goals and a total of 169 sub targets. Goal 12 target 3 reads as follows: “By 2030, halve per capita global food waste at the retail and consumer levels and reduce food losses along production and supply chains, including post-harvest losses.” Wasting eatable food effectively highlights all three param

Att biodiversiteten minskar både regionalt och lokalt är en av vår tids största utmaningar. För att kunna bedriva ett framgångsrikt bevarandearbete i Europa genomförs så kallad biogeografisk uppföljning vars syfte är att övervaka och kartlägga utpekade arters utbredningsområde och populationsstorlek. För detta ändamål är det viktigt med pålitliga standardiserade metoder som är kostnadseffektiva me

The aim in this thesis is to explore how power dynamics are involved as one way of knowing the environment is held to be more rational than the other. This is being put in the case of the development of alternative agriculture in Sweden and Denmark, where organic agriculture has managed to gain greater attention in recent years whilst biodynamic farming has been less successful. Furthermore, this

Hearing is our second most important sense. The main focus of a surveillance camera is obviously the video but the audio shouldn't be neglected. It is possible to hear what the camera can't see and what is said in a conversation can't be showed in a video. Therefore there are good reasons to always try and achieve the best audio possible. This is not an easy task since cameras are oper

Enligt ett flertal forskare uppstår det en konflikt då västerländska turister besöker muslimska destinationer. När individer med olika sedvänjor, värderingar och världsbilder möts kan det uppstå en konflikt i och med att individer önskar använda platsen på olika sätt. En del destinationer har valt att, med hjälp av en fysisk uppdelning och/eller en “double-standard policy”, upprätta gränsdragningaAccording to a large amount of researchers, conflict arises as western tourists visit Muslim destinations. When differentiating customs, values and worldviews meet, a conflict can arise in relation to the utilisation of the physical area in which the two cultures interact. With the help of physical separation and double standard policies, some destinations have chosen demarcation as a tool to upho

I denna avhandling har jag kritiserat EPI (Environmental Performance Index) och det sätt ett lands hållbarhetspolicy tenderar att mätas. Jag har granskat tidigare bortsedda aspekter av nationernas miljöpolicy och försökt föra dem fram i hopp om att dessa kommer att användas för framtida miljömätningar. Jag har också tittat på sambandet mellan jämställdhet och statlig miljö och försökt hitta empiriIn this thesis, I have criticised the EPI (Environmental Performance Index) and the way state environmentalism tends to be measured. I have scrutinised overlooked aspects of nations environmental policy and tried to bring them to the fore in the hope that these will be used for future environmental measurements. I have also looked at the connection between gender equality and state environmentalis

Under de senaste åren har man sett en kraftig ökning av bostadsbyggandet, vilket kan innebära en stor prisrisk på den svenska bostadsmarknaden. Vid studerande av tillskottet av bostäder och prisnivån i olika kommuner ser utvecklingen dock olika ut. Kommunerna följer inte samma mönster. I detta arbete studeras sambandet mellan nyproduktion av bostäder och prisutvecklingen, samt utreds hur nyproduktIn recent years, there has been an increase in new housing, which may imply a large price risk in the Swedish housing market. When investigating the new housing and price levels in different municipalities, the developments are different. The municipalities do not follow the same pattern. In this thesis, the relation between new housing and development in price is studied, as well as how new housi
