    UPTEC W 20030 Examensarbete 30 hp Juni 2020 Contamination analysis of the landfill Rösaberg inerta massor Risk assessment and investigation of the contaminant distribution Lisa Westander ABSTRACT Contamination analysis of the landfill Rösaberg inerta massor -risk assessment and investigation of the contaminant distribution Lisa Westander The dispersion of contaminants deriving from landfills poses a risk to the surrounding environment and human health. Old landfills are treated with extra precaution, due to their poorer construction, less stringent operation and lack information regarding the waste content. Vetlanda municipality has identified 48 old landfills. One of them is Rösaberg inerta massor. It is one of the largest landfills in the region and is located close to numerous sensitive environmental receptors (such as the river Emån). During a phase 1 investigation (MIFO 1) in 2017, the landfill was designated the highest risk classification, class 1, and is considered a very high risk to environment and human health. No sampling was conducted during this time, but the level of contaminants was assumed to be very high. The objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence of contaminants by determining the pollution levels in soil and groundwater in the landfill. Samples was obtained by completing a site investigation, involving trial pits examination and installing of monitoring wells. National as well as site-specific guideline values were used to determine the effects of the contaminant levels of the site. In the software Groundwater Modeling system (GMS) was used to study if the contaminant plumes reach the river Emån. A 50-year scenario was set up in GMS to investigate likely concentrations in the future.

  • Organizing Policy a Policy Analysis Starting from Smes in Tuscany and the County of Jönköping Organizing Policy Organizing Policy Organizing
    MONICA JOHANSSON MONICA JOHANSSON MONICA JOHANSSON Organizing Policy A Policy Analysis starting from SMEs in Tuscany and the County of Jönköping Organizing Policy Organizing Policy The importance of small and medium size enterprises (SMEs) for economic A Policy Analysis starting from SMEs in Tuscany development is frequently debated. SMEs have been called “the backbone of the and the County of Jönköping European economy and the best potential source of jobs and growth”. Political intentions are expressed in numerous programmes, strategies, and organizations, all claiming that their objective is to assist SMEs. The purpose of the thesis is to explore the interaction between political aspirations and adequate solutions to SMEs’ challenges. The thesis adopts a comparative perspective, using two completely different cultural, institutional and historical contexts, the Italian region Tuscany and the County of Jönköping. The study follows bottom-up logic, starting off with interviewed businesspersons’ and other actors’ narratives on how they organize to face and deal with challenges and opportunities. The challenges and possibilities and the problem solving processes described by SMEs are outlined through the identification and description of four case studies. Narratives by businesspersons and other actors indicate that only a few of the aspirations and strategies expressed by politicians and decision makers, who elaborate the objectives of SME policy, actually reach enterprises. A gap seems to exist between aspirations and realization. The study suggests that an important part of the explanation to the missing link is found in the different lifeworlds of SMEs, politicians and other decision makers. How can the gap be bridged? The study concludes that policy is not statements only; it is organizing.

Caroline Axén Wrigfors Karin Eliasson Jönköping International Business School, June 2008 Master Thesis within Business Administration Authors: Caroline Axén Wrigfors Karin Eliasson Tutor: Cinzia Dalzotto Date: 2008-06-11 Subject Terms: Strategic Management, Strategic Leadership, Strategic Think- ing, Corporate Strategy & Competitive Advantage Abstract Strategic management has long been viewed as the concept and process that link an organi- zation and its environment together (Leibold, Probst & Gibbert, 2002). It consists of the analysis, decisions and actions an organization undertakes in order to create and sustain competitive advantages (Dess, Lumpkin & Taylor, 2005). Within the history of strategic management research there has been an unbalance between the internal and the external perspective. During the 1980s Michael Porter, one of the most prominent strategic management researchers, and his Five Forces model focused strictly on the external competitive environment (Mintzberg, Ahlstrand & Lampel, 1998). Further, in the 1990s the focus shifted from external to internal along with Jay Barney’s development of the resource based theory in 1991 (Barney, 1991).

  • The Issuer Does Not Fall Under the Scope of Application of the Mifid II Package
    The Issuer does not fall under the scope of application of the MiFID II package. Consequently, the Issuer does not qualify as an "investment firm", "manufacturer" or "distributor" for the purposes of MiFID II. Solely for the purposes of each manufacturerꞌs product approval process, the target market assessment in respect of the Notes has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Notes is eligible counterparties and professional clients, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) all channels for distribution of the Notes are appropriate, subject to the distributorꞌs suitability and appropriateness obligations under MiFID II, as applicable. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a distributor) should take into consideration the manufacturersꞌ target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Notes (by either adopting or refining the manufacturersꞌ target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels, subject to the distributorꞌs suitability and appropriateness obligations under MiFID II, as applicable. For the purposes of this provision, the expression manufacturer means any Manager that is a manufacturer under MiFID II and the expression MiFID II means Directive 2014/65/EU, as amended.
