  • Government Communication 2011/12:56 a Coordinated Long-Term Strategy for Roma Skr
    Government communication 2011/12:56 A coordinated long-term strategy for Roma Skr. inclusion 2012–2032 2011/12:56 The Government hereby submits this communication to the Riksdag. Stockholm, 16 February 2012 Fredrik Reinfeldt Erik Ullenhag (Ministry of Employment) Key contents of the communication This communication presents a coordinated and long-term strategy for Roma inclusion for the period 2012–2032. The strategy includes investment in development work from 2012–2015, particularly in the areas of education and employment, for which the Government has earmarked funding (Govt. Bill. 2011/12:1, Report 2011/12:KU1, Riksdag Communication 2011/12:62). The twenty-year strategy forms part of the minority policy strategy (prop. 2008/09:158) and is to be regarded as a strengthening of this minority policy (Govt. Bill 1998/99:143). The target group is above all those Roma who are living in social and economic exclusion and are subjected to discrimination. The whole implementation of the strategy should be characterised by Roma participation and Roma influence, focusing on enhancing and continuously monitoring Roma access to human rights at the local, regional and national level. The overall goal of the twenty-year strategy is for a Roma who turns 20 years old in 2032 to have the same opportunities in life as a non-Roma. The rights of Roma who are then twenty should be safeguarded within regular structures and areas of activity to the same extent as are the rights for twenty-year-olds in the rest of the population. This communication broadly follows proposals from the Delegation for Roma Issues in its report ‘Roma rights — a strategy for Roma in Sweden’ (SOU 2010:55), and is therefore also based on various rights laid down in international agreements on human rights, i.e.

  • OECD Case Study on Dementia
    OECD case study on dementia SWEDEN Anders Wimo, Catharina Morthenson Ekelöf Socialdepartementet Dnr S2002/7722/ST Rapporter / Stiftelsen Stockholms läns Äldrecentrum 2004:10 ISSN 1401-5129 Förord Denna rapport innehåller en unik faktasammanställning kring demenssjukdomar i Sverige, uppdaterad fram till september 2002. Materialet har tagits fram till en OECD-rapport, som publicerats sommaren 2004. För att detta material ska bli tillgängligt för svenska läsare publiceras den nu som en rapport hos Stiftelsen Stockholms läns Äldrecentrum. Rapporten är på engelska. Den består av en beskrivande del och i en särskild bilaga en omfattande statistikdel. Texten är strukturerad efter de frågeställningar OECD önskat få belysta från varje land som deltagit i kunskapssammanställningen. Stockholm 2004-10-05 Sven Erik Wånell Chef Stiftelsen Stockholms läns Äldrecentrum Författarnas förord Denna rapport har tagits fram som Sveriges bidrag till en jämförande studie kring demens i 9 OECD-länder. Deltagande länder har förutom Sverige varit, USA, Kanada, Australien, Japan, Frankrike, Spanien, Storbritannien och Tyskland. Studien är ett delprojekt i OECD:s Hälsoprojekt och är tänkt att tillsammans med en studie kring ”Long-Term Care” ta fram hälsoekonomiska och strukturella jämförelser mellan OESD-länderna när det gäller äldreomsorg och demensvård. Syftet med studien är att öka kunskaperna kring vilka insatser och faktorer som ger god effekt i vård och omsorg om demenssjuka personer och ge olika beslutsfattare underlag för utveckla styrformer och politik inom området. OECD-rapporten publicerades sommaren 2004. Den svenska rapporten innehåller dels en kvalitativ del med beskrivande svar på frågeställningar som rör hur demensvården är organiserad i Sverige, dels en kvantitativ del med faktaunderlag och siffermaterial.

  • Biogas Value Chain in Gävleborg Feedstock, Production and Use
    No 6 Biogas Value Chain in Gävleborg Feedstock, Production and Use Muhammad Arfan © Muhammad Arfan 2019 Research Report No. 6 urn:nbn:se:hig:diva-30714 Distribution: Gävle University Press SE-801 76 Gävle, Sweden [email protected] Biogas Value Chain in Gävleborg Feedstock, Production and Use Muhammad Arfan Faculty of Engineering and Sustainable Development Department of Building Engineering, Energy Systems and Sustainability Science Abstract This report aims to identify the current status and future opportunities for biogas as an alternative fuel for road transport in the Gävleborg region. The regional actors along the value chain are mapped by their role in feedstock supply, production and use of the biogas. Mapping and analysis of biogas development generally in Sweden and particularly in the Gävleborg region has been conducted primarily through literature, national and regional statistics and through interviews with the regional actors. About 15 companies were reached through emails and phone calls during the interview process. 3 In 2017, about 3.5-4.0 million Nm of raw biogas (50-65% CH4) was produced in the region of which 3.6 GWh was upgraded. The region has two plants with upgrading facilities, one in Forsbacka, which produces gas mainly from food waste and Duvbacken, the wastewater treatment plant in Gävle. The gas produced at these two big facilities is upgraded and mostly used as transport fuel in the region, and for the industry. Gas produced from other sources is either used for heat and electricity production or flared to avoid methane emissions to the environment. The region has 14 buses and more than 500 other vehicles running on biogas.

When you woke up this morning, you turned off the alarm on your mobile phone and switched the bedside light on. At the same time but in another place, a plane was coming in to land, directed by powerful runway lights. A school class turned its attention to the classroom’s illuminated smartboard. A newborn baby was placed in an electronically powered incubator. Electricity is used everywhere to facilitate or simply enable our lives; from the little things to the big things, from the typical to the unexpected. Reliable and stable distribution of electricity is a pre- requisite for the functioning of our daily lives as well as the ability to develop new solutions and innova- tions, both today and in the future.

  • The Road to Sustainable Building - ‘As Clear As Mud’?
    The road to sustainable building - ‘As clear as mud’? Investigating the conditions for sustainability transitions in Sweden; A case study of earthen and straw bale builders Diana Undén Photo by Niklas Olsson of earthen and straw bale house in Hudiksvall, Sweden. Supervisor: Ida Andersson Master Thesis, 30 ECTS Credits Globalization, Environment and Social Change Department of Human Geography Stockholm University SE-106 91 Stockholm / Sweden Abstract Undén, Diana (2017). The road to sustainable building - ‘as clear as mud’? Investigating the ​ conditions for sustainability transitions in Sweden: A case study of earthen and straw bale builders. Human Geography, Advanced level, master thesis for master exam in Human Geography, 30 ECTS credits Supervisor: Ida Andersson Language: English Achieving a transition to sustainability and decrease the environmental impact of building is part of Sweden's sustainability goals. Authorities and policy makers have a big responsibility to promote and facilitate this transition, but how this is to be achieved is not as readily answered. Using the multi-level perspective on socio-technical transitions, this thesis investigates the conditions for sustainability transitions in Swedish building by learning from the case of earth and straw home builders. Qualitative mixed methods research, including questionnaires and semi-structured interviews was carried out to explore drivers and barriers for innovative sustainable building in Sweden. Findings suggest that there are barriers for innovative sustainable building in Sweden that might slow down the sustainability transition process, not in terms of regulation but in practices and norms in the current socio-technical regime. Key words: Sustainability, Sustainability Transitions, Sustainable development, Sustainable Building, Innovative building, Socio-technical transitions, Socio-technical niches, earthen building, straw bale building.

  • Fibre Optic Valley: High-Speed Networking for Northern Sweden
    Fibre Optic Valley: high-speed networking for northern Sweden Norra, Sweden SYNTHESIS Fibre Optic-Valley1 is a cluster, or arena2, for the development and testing of products and services based on fibre optics technologies. It is situated on the north-east coast of Sweden between Gävle and Sundsvall, with its centre in the town of Hudiksval. Launched in 2000, and co-funded by the European Regional Development Fund, a Swedish cluster programme, and regional public and private sponsors, the cluster rapidly made a name for itself at both national and European levels. By the end of 2006, 230 new jobs had been created in the region, and about 500 nationally thanks to the activities of Fibre Optic Valley. Until the end of the 1990s, Ericsson Network Technologies with other large companies in the region had helped to create a favourable climate for optic fibre development. However, a severe reduction in market demand led the companies lay people off and put their development projects on hold. In order to maintain the fibre optic expertise and resources within the region, the municipality of Hudiksvall, the regional university Mitthögskolan and the local trade and industry organisation Via Futura joined forces and attracted the research institute Acreo to the region. This led to the launch of the InfoCom project in 1999, which was later renamed Fibre Optic Valley. The overall objective of Fibre Optic Valley is to create a world-class 'breeding climate' in this technology field for researchers, innovators and entrepreneurs, thus attracting knowledge and actors to the region in order to create synergies and benefits for all involved.
