Allt färre ungdomar läser på sin fritid och man har under de åtta senaste åren sett en minskning i antal biblioteksbesök bland ungdomar. Hur mycket man väljer att läsa påverkar resultaten i skolan. Detta påverkar i sin tur hela det svenska samhället. I uppsatsen ”Från biblioteket till unga: om bibliotekariens tankar kring kommunikation, organisation och marknadsföring till unga” undersöker vi

Syftet med denna studie är att analysera vilka kommunikativa strategier som används i kriskommunikation samt hur användandet av dessa strategier kan påverka förtroendet för sändaren. Fallet med SEBs förtroendekris under våren 2009 intresserade oss särskilt eftersom banker generellt är beroende av omgivningens förtroende. Vi kunde inte förstå varför en så stor aktör, med mycket medievana och goda r

Abstract Argumentationer förekommer i många olika sammanhang, inte minst i debatter. Det är vanligt att debatter förs av experter vilket kan te sig svårt att sätta sig in och på så sätt hindra en från att ta ställning. Syftet med argumentation är att övertyga en person att ställning för den ståndpunkt som förespråkas. En effektiv metod att granska styrkan i ett argument är genom en argumentationsa

Recensenten spelar en avgörande roll i spridningen av populärkulturellt material. Hon är dock inte fri att uttrycka sig hur hon vill utan måste hålla sig inom musikgenrens diskursiva ramar. Eftersom recensenten måste hålla sig inom diskursen blir hon delaktig i att förstärka samt befästa genretypiska stereotyper. Diskursen kräver dessutom en särpräglad lingvistik vilket gör att texten kan vara svå

The purpose of this study was to examine if and how children witnessing domestic violence affects the judgement a Swedish District Court delivers in cases of child-custody and parents’ right of access to their child. We also wanted to examine if a child’s right to State compensation for witnessing domestic violence affects said judgements in a District Court. This right to State compensation stems

This essay in literature science focuses on the representation and meaning of food in Swedish working class literature during two different eras in the 20th century. On the one hand the literature consists of five different authorships from 1925–1945 and on the other hand five authorships from 1985–2005. On the basis of culture materialist theory, the aim of the study is to investigate how and why

Purpose: Identify alternative to the current air transportation routes from supply units in Asia to European customers. The authors strive to provide the department of Supply Flow & Logistics with proposals of how they can reduce their costs and environmental effects connected to transportation. The authors also strive to display and evaluate the risk connected to a change in transportation mo

I denna uppsats behandlas ett av Ovidius mer förbisedda verk, Epistulae Heroidum, även kallat Heroides. Verket består av tjugoen dikter, formulerade som brev på elegiskt distikon. Det övergripande syftet är att studera brevskrivarnas övertalningsstrategi i tretton av breven. Argumentationen kartläggs och användandet av retorikens tre appellformer undersöks. I studien redogörs för återkommande möns

This thesis analyzes the trade, fiscal and development effects of the Interim Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) between the EU and the member states of the SADC EPA group. The agreement is set to advance the trade relationship between the parties as well as create and facilitate trade in- between the SADC member states. The conclusions of this study are that the trade patterns between the negot

E-handel är en handelsform som är på stark frammarsch. Fler och fler konsumenter blir varse om fördelarna med att göra sina inköp över Internet både från lokala säljare och från säljare i andra länder eller andra världsdelar. Säljarna får tillgång till en större marknad och fler potentiella kunder och konsumenterna får tillgång till fler säljare och större utbud att välja mellan. Men vilka effekte

Abstract Screening LCA has been used to gain further insight into the environmental performance of Gambrosol Trio, a fluid used in Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) as a form of renal therapy. Gambrosol Trio (Trio) is produced and commercialised by Gambro AB, an international company with headquarters in Stockholm and historic roots in Lund, Sweden. The product's distinctive cha

Abstract Innovations are new, exciting and important in solving environmental problems. This paper looks at such ‘eco-innovations’ with specific focus on just how ‘new’ they are to the status quo. ‘Incremental’ innovations are somewhat new, common and refine what was there originally, while ‘radical’ innovations are extremely new, rare and introduce something completely different to the situation.

Abstract Increasing the share of renewable energy for covering our energy demand is central to the energy policy of the European Union. Despite the acknowledged importance, renewable energy has not yet reached the favoured wide-spread utilisation throughout Europe. Wood pellets, cylindrical sticks of 10 to 30 mm length mainly made from wood processing residues, are a renewable, cost-competitive, l

Abstract This thesis addresses the effects of parking accessibility on work commuting and the potential to use parking policies as a tool to support mobility management and enhance sustainable commuting in Lund. The structure rests on two folds: first, it provides a theoretical background on different parking policies and factors influencing work commuting; second, it provides an analysis of Lund

This thesis describes bio-ethanol production and use for transport fuel in Ethiopia, focusing on current status and potential, barriers, implications and recommendations for a sustainable market. The need for such research is justified as it paves the way for bio-ethanol development in Ethiopia towards a more sustainable path as challenges are surmounted. Bio-ethanol from molasses is identified in

There are more than 80 pharmaceuticals and pharmaceutical metabolites detected in the aquatic environment. Regarding negative impacts of these compounds, the main concern lays in sensitive aquatic environment and long-term effects regarding human health and the environment. Although we have procedures to assess the risk that pharmaceutical residues represent to the environment, these procedures in

Contemporary innovation in the converging technology sectors of electronics and textile aims at augmenting functionality of textiles, making them “smart”. That is, integrating electronic functions such as sensing, data processing, and networking into wearable products. Embedding electronic devices into textiles results in a novel category of products: electronic textiles (e-textiles). Whereas rese

This thesis looks at the drivers and barriers religious groups within the United States face on the climate change issue as well as the actions religious groups have taken on the issue as a means for encouraging social and individual changes in behavior to address it. It examines the role of religion in shaping values, investigates the drivers and barriers identified through academic literature so

The concept of ecotourism has been widely misunderstood and misused. This undermines some of its aims when it is put in practice. In theory, one of the principles of ecotourism is bringing benefits to the local communities at the destination site. Benefiting the local communities, in turn, offers an opportunity for community development of the local populations (particularly in poor countries). Bu

Perception of risks and related costs associated with energy crop cultivation pose a barrier to expansion of production, and therefore economies-of-scale are not achieved and investments in new infrastructure harder to justify. In this study, the risk perceptions for agro-biofuel production in Sweden, France and Finland are delineated and a new contractual arrangement to reduce such risk perceptio
