Bibliography .................................................................................................................77 15. Annexes ........................................................................................................................88 3 Summary Most of the indicators used to monitor the drug situation in Sweden indicate that the problem with illicit drugs is serious but also that positive changes are observed in some areas. Prevalence figures are levelling of or decreasing, public attitudes to drugs support a restrictive policy, the need for treatment and rehabilitation is recognised and is given priority, the local level is integrated in the work and a multitude of efforts are initiated within the scope of the national action plan on drugs. Drug use as measured in various surveys is usually stable or levelling of. Cannabis life time prevalence (LTP) in the general population has in the last four surveys (98, 00, 04 and 05) been 19%, 16%, 18 % and 15% (men) and 10 %, 9 %, 10 % and 9% (women). In the school population (age 15-16) the rapidly increasing LTP during the 1990s (peak 10% in 2000 and 2001) has turned and for the years 2002 and 2003 there is a decrease. In the survey 2003, LTP was 7 % for both boys and girls and this holds true also for 2004. The last 30 days prevalence for boys decreased from 3 % to 2 % between 2002 and 2003 and was in 2003 the same for both sexes. In 2004, an increase to 3% was noted for both sexes. Also in the group military conscripts (age 18), there was a decrease in LTP between 2002 and 2004, from 18% to 15% and a slight decrease in the last 30 days prevalence from 3% to 2%. Regarding attitudes to drugs there is a continuous support for a restrictive drug policy as reported previously. From the studies initiated by the National Drugs Policy Coordinator (NDPCo) under the title “to take drugs occasionally” a liberal view is expressed in the youth groups interviewed regarding cannabis but simultaneously the support for the Swedish restrictive policy prevails. This is also mirrored by the section 13 review on recreational drug use. It can be seen from the qualitative studies that a large majority of those who have tried illegal drugs consider drug use as an exception, not as a central or normal part of their lives. Most of them are aware that drugs can have a negative impact on their future if they let their drug-taking become more frequent or long-term. For this reason, they develop risk- management strategies such as taking drugs only at particular occasions, never using in their hometown or never buying drugs – only accepting when offered. Most young people have been influenced by society’s message that drugs are a bad thing, and this guides their decisions and actions to some extent so that they either do not try at all or, if they decide to do so, impose certain limits on their drug use. Taking drugs is not a normalised action, but rather an exception. The problematic drug use is difficult to estimate and studies are not performed regularly. Most recent data as presented in this report shows a decrease in problematic drug use over the last years giving a central rate/100 000 of 4.5 in the 15-64 intervals in 2003. Sweden is primarily a market for illegal drugs produced abroad and smuggled into the country. Mirrored as seizures cannabis is the dominating drug followed by amphetamine, illegally obtained pharmaceuticals (tranquilisers and pain killers) heroin and cocaine. Mirrored as prevalence in different surveys cannabis is by far the drug most experienced. A worrying and possibly increasing problem is the not uncommon use of GHB or some of its analogues (GBL, 1,4-BD). GHB is most likely the only illegal drug found to be clandestine manufactured in Sweden (from GBL or 1,4-BD) at a scale intended for sale at the illegal market. GHB was classified as a narcotic drug in 2000 and since September 2005 GBL and 1,4-BD are controlled under act on prohibition of goods dangerous to health. The implication is that permission is needed for all use. An investigation of the price development for illegal drugs over the last 15 years shows that the price at street level (adjusted to the 2004 monetary value) is about halved for hashish and cocaine since the end of the eighties. In 2004 one gram of hashish was reported to cost around 8 € and one gram of cocaine around 80 €. For amphetamine and brown heroin prices 4 are about 60 per cent lower today than 15 years ago. Prices per gram of amphetamine and brown heroin in 2004 were around 25 € and 100 € respectively. The implementation of the national action plan on drugs (introduced in 2002) is run by the national drugs policy coordinator (NDPCo). A marked increase in drug prevention activities, mainly due to initiatives from the coordinator is noted. By government support, the majority of the 290 local authorities in Sweden have been able to appoint local drug coordinators for the alcohol- and drug preventive work in order to strengthen the local mobilisation. The NDPCo has also initiated a wide variety of activities in the areas of research, supply and demand reduction, opinion forming, treatment and rehabilitation - including the prison and probation area, training and mobilisation at the local level as well as interventions in the recreational area. Some results are presented in this report but most activities are still running. The responses to health correlates and consequences of drug abuse have been down-sized for a long period. Based on a series of reports the NDPCo highlights the unfulfilled needs of drug abusers in the 2004 annual report. Some of the conclusions from the NDPCo are: - A functional treatment system has a positive effect on health development and on decreased mortality, - The problematic abusers and immigrants with drug problems do not receive the kind of treatment they need, - Outreach work is nearly extinct. The NDPCo proposes that there should be a strengthening of resources in several areas, and among them, a guarantee securing treatment for those in need, and professional drug treatment within the prison system. Two other areas of priority for the NDPCo are to i) develop the Prison and probation system to a high-qualitative treatment system for drug abusers and ii) to upgrade and coordinate the efforts against the organised crime in drugs, commonly international. In the bill for 2005 the government allocated 90 million € to drug related treatment for the period 2005 – 2007. It is further proposed that an agreement should be

Dai 5 agli 80 anni. La musica preferita? Dalla classica all’hip-hop. Gli spazi frequentati? Parchi e spiagge. Perché loro sono spiriti liberi. In attesa di spiccare il volo… Marzia Coltellacci & Valeria Ciappa Se riuniamo un bambino, una casalinga, uno studente e un pensionato in uno spazio all’aperto e lasciamo che le loro personalità interagiscano, quale può essere il risultato? Probabilmente un esilarante confronto tra discordanti modi di essere. Se, però, al tutto aggiungiamo un frisbee, assistiamo a un singolare scontro pacifico. Il frisbee è un mix perfetto di movimenti acrobatici e regole di svariate discipline sportive che proprio per questo permette di fondere caratteri così diversi tra loro. Eppure quando si pensa al frisbee si pensa subito al classico scambio del disco tra due persone sulla spiaggia. Considerato da molti solo un passatempo estivo, pochi sanno invece che il frisbee è un variegato mondo di discipline sportive praticate su sabbia e prato. Per capire il mondo del frisbee bisogna paragonarlo a quello della palla. Se infatti la palla è la protagonista di un’infinità di sport, dal calcio al basket, dalla pallavolo al rugby, dalla pallamano alla pallanuoto, anche il frisbee è il protagonista di un’ampia gamma di sport e giochi di squadra o individuali.

  • En Mötesplats Fylld Av Mening 2014:1
    Leena Hagsmo | En mötesplats fylld av mening Hagsmo Leena En mötesplats fylld av mening Avhandlingen handlar om vad som kan ske när människor möts och samarbetar En mötesplats fylld av mot ett gemensamt mål. Den visar på betydelsen för enskilda personer av att ingå i ett socialt sammanhang de själva valt och hur detta i sin tur kan ha betydelse för den plats där detta förekommer. Det som har utgjort grunden för undersökningen 2014:1 mening är den forna Arvikafestivalens organisation, Galaxen. Festivalen är skapad i ett underifrånperspektiv till största delen i ett ideellt sammanhang. Syftet med En studie om gemenskap och samarbete i skapandet av avhandlingen är att förstå hur positiva sociala effekter skapas i de relationer som Arvikafestivalen uppstår i arbetet med en festival och hur det i sin tur blir en del av platsskapandet. Intervjuer har genomförts med personer som har arbetat i festivalorganisationen från Arvikafestivalens start år 1992. Det är deras upplevelser och erfarenheter som i huvudsak utgjort underlaget för analysen. I sammanhanget diskuteras även Leena Hagsmo betydelsen av Arvikas kulturarv för uppkomsten av festivalen. Avhandlingen visar att Arvikafestivalen var av betydelse för många människor och bidrog till att nya processer startade. Det skapades en tillåtande miljö där det fanns utrymme för egna idéer. Genom att planera och skapa något tillsammans med andra uppstod en stark gemenskap. De kontakter och de lärdomar som individerna erhöll ur arbetet med festivalen har gett avtryck på platsen Arvika.

    10. Entrepreneurship as boundary work: deviating from and belonging to community Monica Lindgren and Johann Packendorff ENTREPRENEURSHIP AS BOUNDARY WORK: A SOCIAL CONSTRUCTIONIST PERSPECTIVE Entrepreneurship is usually seen as a solution to problems in community development – through new firms, new industries and community mobiliza- tion, stagnating regions and cities are expected to return to growth and pros- perity (Cornwall, 1998). While this solution is almost undisputed, the question of what entrepreneurship is and how it emerges often remains unanswered or neglected (Spinosa et al., 1997). There is also an underpinning positive assumption that all new firms or entrepreneurial acts are good for any local community and that they are well received by the locals (Welsch and Kuhns, 2002). Moreover, it is said that industries should be built on local resources, competencies and culture – the question is how we can develop our town and local area out of our existing traditions, culture and habits. We can find this ideal of the embedded industrial cluster throughout the world. In France there are different wine and food districts, there are US cities where all activities are built around car manufacturing (e.g. Detroit), there are regions inhabited by numerous glass and crystal manufacturers (Småland in Sweden, Bohemia in the Czech Republic). There are the famous local special- izations of northern Italy with their emphasis on civil society, not to mention the notorious US case of Silicon Valley (Saxenian, 2000). We have thus many examples of clusters where traditions and cultures are part of how to and what to produce, and where people have been able to construct affluent communi- ties out from their local culture.

  • Music Festivals in Sweden - an Analysis of the Ten Largest Commercial Festivals 2000 - 2013
    Music Festivals in Sweden - An Analysis of the Ten Largest Commercial Festivals 2000 - 2013 Daniel Johansson Linnaeus University, Sweden Department of Computer Science & Department of Economics [email protected] Abstract This study examines the development for commercial music festivals in Sweden during the time period 2000 - 2013. Although it is clear that some legendary Swedish music festivals have disappeared during the latest years, this study indicates that the number of paying visitors of the largest festivals continues to increase. In fact, 2013 was the record year during the studied time frame regarding the number of paying visitors to the ten largest commercial festivals, with official visitor figures validated through STIM data. Nevertheless, the Swedish music festival market has changed considerably. The purpose of the paper is to describe some of these changes as well as provide a quantitative foundation for further research questions to be dealt with in the future. 1. Introduction In 2013, the term "festivaldöden" (festival death) was widely used in Swedish media to describe the development of the Swedish music festival market.1 Both the Siesta! festival in Hässleholm and the Peace & Love festival in Borlänge were forced to cancel their programs during 2013, and Tivolirock in Kristianstad as well as Sundsvalls Gatufest filed for bankruptcy after conducted festivals. In 2011 the legendary Arvika festival went bankrupt. In 2010, the mother of all Swedish music festivals, the Hultsfred festival, had to shut down although the festival reappeared in 2011 by another arranger, just to be declared dead in the end of 2013. During the latest years many other music festivals have witnessed on tough economic situations as a result of the changing market for music festivals in Sweden.

First time on vinyl! "Look Forward To Failure" is a 6 track EP, originally released in 1998. The EP was the first appearance of feature fan favourite "San Dimas High School Football Rules", a song that would later appeared on "Blue Skies, Broken Hearts...Next 12 Exits". The version of "My Hotel Year" that appears on this EP is the electric version and contains an extra verse at the end. The version that ended up on "Blue Skies" was acoustic and shortened. BOWERBIRDS "becalmyounglovers" (PSYCHIC PSY010 CD BOWERBIRDS "becalmyounglovers (teal)” (PSYCHIC PSY010LPC1 LP April 30 street date. "becalmyounglovers" is as much a return as it is a farewell. Phil Moore's first Bowerbirds album since 2012 is an artifact of transition, a domino effect of doors closing and Moore stumbling headfirst into the uncertainty of what comes after a life fundamentally changes. Like a polaroid slowly swimming into focus, "becalmyounglovers" reconciles the memories of yourself in relation to another person, and then what's unearthed when you're left to face your identity alone - and which one of those selves is true? Written and recorded mainly in an isolated cabin hand built by Moore and his ex-partner, out in Siler City, North Carolina, "becalmyounglovers" chronicles a long-term relationship's death rattle, inevitable breakup, and its immediate aftermath - and Moore's getting to understand himself better in the process.

  • Testo Dell'interrogazione
    Hsbo!Dpotjhmjp Tfhsfufsjb 27 luglio 2009 / 217.09 Sftjef o{b!hpwfsobujwb Qjb{{b!Hpwfsop 7612 C fmmjo{pob TESTO DELL'INTERROGAZIONE Festival e feste più verdi anche in Ticino? Come migliorare l'impatto ambientale di festival e feste nostrane? L'estate è, anche in Ticino, tempo di festival, ma anche feste grandi e piccole. Sempre più festival prestano attenzione al loro impatto ambientale, sia per quanto riguarda la limitazione della produzione di rifiuti, il loro riciclaggio, i trasporti collettivi, il risparmio energetico (molto legato alla catena del freddo e del caldo nell'alimentazione). Da questo lato ci sembra che in Ticino si debbano fare ancora parecchi passi avanti per realizzare degli eventi ambientalmente sostenibili e mettere termine alla produzione di montagne di rifiuti non riciclati e a sprechi energetici. Il Ticino può guardare a quanto di buono fatto altrove e adattarlo alla propria realtà. Delle linee direttive ambientali per i festival musicali sono state adottate dall'associazione mantello YOUROPE - THE EUROPEAN FESTIVAL ASSOCIATION. L'associazione opera anche a favore di buone condizioni di lavoro, di salute e di sicurezza, oltre che ambientali. Il Paleo Festival di Nyon, il Festival jazz di Montreux, l'Open Air di S. Gallo e Weekend Au Bord de L'Eau Switzerland hanno già ottenuto la certificazione verde dell'Associazione. / Chiedo pertanto al Consiglio di Stato se intende promuovere una dimensione più verde dei festival e feste, che si svolgono in Ticino, affinché si riduca l'impatto ambientale degli stessi e nel contempo si veicoli pure un'immagine turistica positiva all'estero. Raoul Ghisletta ________________________________________________________________________________ Allegato (tratto da www.yourope.org) GREEN'N'CLEAN - INTRODUCTION In 2006/7, the association launched environmental guidelines for music festivals.
