The main purpose of this thesis is to clarify what the term flexicurity is and what it entails. Flexicurity is a labour market policy model that has the goal of creating more and better jobs. In itself, flexicurity is a political tool and is not a legal term. I will aim at clarifying how this political model has been transformed into legislation and how it can assist the labour market in different

Att karlägga och kvantifiera skogsinformation angående exempelvis marktäcke, terräng, trädhöjder och volym är en traditionellt både tidskrävande och dyr del av skogsbruk och forskning eftersom mätningar vanligtvis samlas in i fält med handhållna instrument. Fjärranalys har visat sig vara ett värdefullt komplement till fältbaserade mätningar eftersom det möjliggör för snabb och relativt billig insaMapping and quantifying forest information about e.g. land cover, tree height and biomass has traditionally been a both time-consuming and labour-intensive part of forestry and forest research as field measurements typically are collected manually using handheld equipment. Remote sensing has proved to be a valuable complement to field based measurements as it enables for fast and relatively cheap

Detta examensarbete har som syfte att undersöka möjligheterna för införandet av en kvotplikt på den svenska jetbränslemarknaden, något som inte tidigare gjorts i en sammanfattande studie. Målet är att utvärdera detta styrmedel från flera olika perspektiv. Fokus läggs på det legala, ekonomin I förnybara bränslen, utformingen av ett kvotsystem och effekten ett sådant system kan ha på den svenska fly

In order to halt current resource depletion and minimise environmental destruction, we need to reduce our dependency on virgin raw materials. There is a growing political consensus in the EU that we have to move away from our current linear economic system to one that is based on closing material loops, a circular economy. There is therefore a great need for new business models based on for exampl

Finns det utrymme för kompakta bostäder i en hållbar stadsutveckling? Allt fler människor flyttar till städer. Det påverkar användningen av olika naturresurser men ökar också konkurrensen om mark – en resurs som inte är oändlig – då fler bosätter sig inom städernas begränsade områden. Trots att den genomsnittliga familjen minskat i storlek har bostäder å andra sidan blivit allt större. För att The Earth’s population is steadily increasing and there is a fast growing urbanization as people move from rural areas to cities. Lack of housing is a big issue in many cities. At the same time, dwellings are growing in size demanding more land and natural resources, a development which is not sustainable in the long run. That is problematic as it occupies land and requires natural resources, whic

The European Monetary Union was formed over a decade ago with a mission to create a single market with a single currency for the European Union members. Today only 19 out of the European Union members have adopted the official common currency, the Euro. The purpose for this thesis is to asses how the Euro has effected Finland’s exports during the time period 1995-2014. This has been estimated thro

Carbonatite is an unusual type of rock that, for a long time, were not accepted for what they really are. This group of rocks is now considered to be of igneous origin and is classified after its content of carbonate minerals. If it exceed 50% the rock will be named a carbonatite. This group of rocks can be found all over the world and two of these places, which this review will focus on, are the
