Den här uppsatsen kretsar kring svenska kommuners drift av gym, en företeelse som gör att kommunen agerar som aktör på den öppna marknaden. I takt med att allt mer av den offentliga och den privata sektorn har smält samman så har också antalet konkurrenskonflikter som detta kan föranleda ökat. Det privata näringslivet har under årtionden påtalat att de upplever det som ett problem och att den offeThis essay revolves around Swedish municipalities' operation of gyms, a phenomenon that makes the municipalities act as players on the open market. As more and more of the public and private sectors have merged the number of competitive conflicts that this has caused has also increased. The private sector has, for decades, complained that it feels it is an issue and that the public sector is n

Teachers in Sweden are instructed not just to teach their subject but also fundamental values. However, educators are given no guidelines as to how to do this. It therefore becomes relevant to research how language teachers can use literary works in school to ensure that students acquire knowledge about themes found in the curriculum, thus combining an important part from the subject’s contents wi

Internationally there has been a growing interest of tramways the past decades. Swedish cities have taken notice of the positive characteristics that tramway have on cities and many of them has also begun investigations for future projects including tramway. The purpose of this study was to investigate in which ways tramways can contribute in creating attractive cities. The work consists mainly of

Ever since the phenomenon of predatory pricing came under the antitrust radar in the Standard Oil case it has spurred debate, which was accentuated after McGee’s seminal article in 1958 where he reexamined the Standard Oil case and claimed that no predatory pricing had taken place. He was supported by a number of scholars (the Chicago school) and legal commentators who stated that predatory pricin

Under 2005 genomfördes en studie vars slutsats bl. a. var att polisen borde kunna klara upp fler misshandelsbrott där parterna är obekanta med varandra och där brottet skett utomhus. RPS gav därefter Brå i uppdrag att genomföra en ny studie som i stort sett hade samma syfte som den från 2005. Brå:s resultat av studierna har redovisats i Rapport 2007:12 och 2009:1. I den senare dras slutsatsen att During 2005 a study was carried out which concluded in that the police should be able to solve many assault and battery cases where the parties are unknown to each other and where the crime took place outdoors. RPS gave thereafter Brå the task to carry out a new study which basically had the same objective as the one that was carried out in 2005. Brå:s results of these studies has been published i

Popular science summary: Mammals are born with relatively immature digestive and immune systems. The functional maturation of these systems takes place at weaning (dietary change from milk to solid food). The activation of immune system occurs due to new antigens from new diet and changed microflora. It has been shown in rat model that activation of adaptive immunity can influence functional deve

Problem Statement: The project started with a request from IKEA to contribute more to the environment. The task for this project, issued by IKEA, was to create a concept for a free-standing indoor storage unit for recyclable waste. The unit should hold at least seven different types of waste: cardboard, plastic, paper, metal, glass, deposit waste and some smaller hazardous waste, such as batteries

Internet växer som plattform för organisationer att synas för sin publik och detta har lett till att många organisationer använder sin webbplats åt att kommunicera med sina publiker. Inte sällan uppstår dock en diskrepans, där en organi

The Kimbanguists, whose church is based on the healing and proclamation ministry of Simon Kimbangu in 1921 in the Belgian Congo, challenge colonially defined borders and identities in multiple ways. Anticolonialism is in the DNA of Kimbanguism, yet in a manner that contests the colonially inherited dichotomy between religion and politics. Kimbanguists draw from holistic Kongo traditions, where the

In this work we have critically reviewed the processes in high-temperature sublimation growth of graphene in Ar atmosphere using closed graphite crucible. Special focus is put on buffer layer formation and free charge carrier properties of monolayer graphene and quasi-freestanding monolayer graphene on 4H–SiC. We show that by introducing Ar at higher temperatures, TAr, one can shift the formation

Heavy metal pollution from untreated industrial wastewater has become a major concern to the environment and public health in many rapidly growing cities in low-income countries. Previous studies on heavy metals of urban wastewater systems have focused on long-term (weekly or seasonal) variations, while only few studies investigated short-term (daily) variation to capture potential bulk discharges

Informations- och kommunikationsteknologin har expanderat och många organisationer har hakat på trenden med att anamma nya teknologiska innovationer. Det har resulterat i att den digitala världen blivit alltmer viktig, men samtidigt problematisk för organisationers kommunikation. Vi har valt att rikta studien mot resultatet av fusionen mellan sociala medier och traditionella intranät, det vill sägIn the past years, Information- and Communication Technologies have expanded, and many organizations are following the growing trend of embracing new technological innovations. This has resulted in the digital world becoming increasingly important, yet problematic for organizations' communications. We have chosen to focus the study on the outcome of the fusion of social media and the tradition
