However, a new group of scholars have studied the term from a new perspective. Within this new perspective, informality has a strong relationship with the state, specifically in relation to how informality emerges and appears in physical space. This thesis departs from these scholars and aims to understand the relationship between state and informality from a Swedish municipal perspective, by examining the state’s motivations and interpretations of place and legality. A case in the municipality of Halmstad has been analysed using concepts from this new perspective in order to understand how the informal practice emerged and to analyse its relation to the state. Three different perceptions of how the relationship between the state and informality works have been depicted in order to draw comparisons with the study case. In this way, the thesis is able to draw clear conclusions about what kind of relationship there is in Halmstad municipality.

Frågan är huruvida brukare inom äldreomsorgen, kan göra sina röster hörda och vilka möjligheter till inflytande det finns för äldre i samhället? Det övergripande syftet med denna studie är att söka kunskap om äldres möjligheter till brukarinflytande, inom äldreomsorgen i Kumla kommun. Ett delsyfte är att undersöka vilka former av brukarinflytande som tillvaratas i Kumla kommun, efter genomförandet av projektet ”Vägar till ökat brukarinflytande och medborgerligt inflytande över kvaliteten i äldreomsorgen”. Frågan om på vilket sätt brukarinflytande kan ske i det praktiska arbetet med äldre med demenssjukdom, utgör även det fokus för denna studie.

  • Vindkraftverk - Inverkan På Flyttfåglar Över Halmstad Kommun
    Högskolan i Halmstad Sektionen för ekonomi och teknik Miljövetareprogrammet Halmstad 2009-02-07 Vindkraftverk - inverkan på flyttfåglar över Halmstad kommun Författare: Thomas Hultquist Handledare: Per Magnus Ehde 1 Sammanfattning Vindkraft är ett känsligt område att studera, eftersom det finns både ekonomiska och ekologiska intressen som berörs. I dagens energikrävande samhälle behövs ett renare alternativ till el som producerats från förbränning. Ett alternativ är vindkraft. Vindkraften byggs ut i en stor omfattning och hela Sverige berörs av denna utbyggnad. När det är så stora ekonomiska intressen inblandat finns det risk att andra intressen åsidosätts. Förhoppningen är att den här studien ger en förbättrad kunskap om hur vindkraftsanläggningar påverkar vissa fåglar. Studien omfattar Halmstad kommun och enskilda vindkraftsverk. Metoden har varit att sammanställa äldre rapporter av sträckande fåglar för att hitta en lämplig lokal att utföra fältstudier på samt att utföra fältstudierna i närheten av vindkraftsanläggningar. Studien som utfördes under en begränsad tidsperiod resulterade i att materialet är för magert, för att kunna dra några säkra slutsatser från. Det material som erhölls visar dock att de sträckande fåglarna flyger på en högre höjd än vindkraftverkens 75-150 meters höjd, de fåglar som sträcker på en lägre höjd hinner väja och väljer att flyga runt eller över. Vindkraften bör kunna byggas ut i Sverige, förutsatt att det sker under större kontroll och efter mer omfattande undersökningar hur det påverkar fågellivet. Studien ger inget svar på om vindkraft är den rätta energikällan att satsa på utan är ett bidrag till en utökad kunskap för framtida beslut. 2 Abstract Wind power is a difficult subject to study, since it is both economical and ecological interests involved.

SKB's overall evaluation is that the municipality of Mala could provide good pros- pects for a deep repository. We would like to mention two factors in particular as arguments in support of this conclusion; the bedrock and the local mining tradition. The bedrock is decisive in determining the feasibility of achieving safe disposal, and there are large areas in Mala Municipality where we judge the bedrock conditions to be good. We cannot determine, however, whether a particular site is definitely suitable from the feasibility study - that will require direct investigations on the site. The mining industry, with all its peripheral activities, has through the years made Mala a centre of knowledge on geoscience and underground rock excavation. We are familiar with the value of this knowledge because specialists from Mala - geologists, geophysicists, diamond drillers and others - have participated in SKB's development activities since the start in the 1970s.

  • Groundwater Chemistry Affected by Trace Elements (As, Mo, Ni, U and V) from a Burning Alum Shale Waste Deposit, Kvarntorp, Sweden
    Environmental Science and Pollution Research https://doi.org/10.1007/s11356-021-12784-2 RESEARCH ARTICLE Groundwater chemistry affected by trace elements (As, Mo, Ni, U and V) from a burning alum shale waste deposit, Kvarntorp, Sweden Kristina Åhlgren1 & Viktor Sjöberg1 & Bert Allard1 & Mattias Bäckström1 Received: 1 September 2020 /Accepted: 29 January 2021 # The Author(s) 2021 Abstract Worldwide, black shales and shale waste are known to be a potential source of metals to the environment. This project demonstrates ongoing weathering and evaluates leaching processes at a 100-m-high shale waste deposit closed in the 1960s. Some deep parts of the deposit are still burning with temperatures exceeding 500 °C. To demonstrate ongoing weathering and leaching, analyses of groundwater and solid samples of shale and shale waste have been undertaken. Largest impact on ground- water quality was observed downstream the deposit, where elevated temperatures also indicate a direct impact from the burning waste deposit. Groundwater quality is largely controlled by pH and redox conditions (e.g., for arsenic, nickel, molybdenum, uranium and vanadium), and the mixture of different waste materials, including pyrite (acidic leachates) and carbonates (neu- tralizing and buffering pH). Analyses of shale waste from the deposit confirm the expected pyrite weathering with high concen- trations of iron, nickel and uranium in the leachates. No general time trends could be distinguished for the groundwater quality from the monitoring in 2004–2019. This study has shown that black shale waste deposits can have a complex long-term impact on the surrounding environment. Keywords Black shale . Groundwater chemistry .

It also contains SKB's collective evaluation of the results (Chapter 11). A status report was published in June 1994. The purpose of the status report was to give the municipality, its reference group and other interested groups in Storuman and in the region, a basis for discussion and opinions before the final report was written. Numerous viewpoints have been presented and have occasioned some supplemen- tary studies or adjustments and additions to the final report. The viewpoints of the reference group on the status report are compiled in an appendix to this final report. For SKB's part, this report represents the conclusion of the feasibility study. As is evident from the viewpoints of the reference group, there are important questions that have not been fully answered within the framework of the feasibility study. Answering some of these questions requires information that can only be provided by a site investigation. Other questions of a more general nature can be taken up if the final evaluation of the feasibility study results in a common interest to continue site investigations in Storuman.
