Agenda 2030 är en handlingsplan för hur världens alla länder gemensamt ska nå en hållbar utveckling socialt, ekonomiskt och ekologiskt. Agenda 2030 berör den sociala dimensionen av hållbar utveckling och kan därför kopplas till ett långsiktigt folkhälsoarbete. Syftet med studien är att undersöka tjänstepersoners uppfattningar om förutsättningarna för att implementera Agenda 2030 i deras kommun. Urvalet i studien var målstyrt då respondenterna skulle svara på frågor om arbetet med Agenda 2030. För studien användes en kvalitativ ansats med semistrukturerade intervjuer som datainsamlingsmetod där materialet sedan analyserades enligt en kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultatet visar att stödjande faktorer som politisk vilja, pågående handlingsplan, samarbetsmöjligheter, tillgängliga resurser, kompetens och tydlig ledning och styrning förenklade arbetet med Agenda 2030. Hindrande faktorer var bristande kompetens, otydlig ledning och styrning. Dessutom har Coronapandemin har haft en negativ påverkan på ekonomi och organisation. Utvecklingsmöjligheter är att fortsätta med det pågående arbetet och utveckla målstyrningen samt integreringen av Agenda 2030 i den ordinarie verksamheten. Slutsatsen är att kommunerna befann sig i olika faser av implementeringsprocessen varpå förutsättningarna varierade mellan kommunerna. Kommunerna behöver uppmärksamma stödjande faktorer och arbeta med hindrande faktorer tillsammans med utvecklingsmöjligheter för att skapa goda förutsättningar för lokal implementering av Agenda 2030.  Nyckelord: folkhälsa, hållbar utveckling, kommun, kvalitativ studie, tjänsteperson, top-down implementering / The Agenda 2030 is an action plan for global sustainability divided into17 goals and three dimensions of social, ecological and economical sustainability. The social dimension of sustainability affects the determinants of health and can therefore contribute to better public health. The aim of this study is to examine official workers perceptions of the conditions to implement Agenda 2030 in Swedish municipalities.  The selection method was strategic as the respondents were to answer questions about their experiences according to their work with implementing Agenda 2030. For the study, a qualitative approach was used with semi-structured interviews to collect data. The data were analyzed according to qualitative content analysis.  The results show that supporting factors such as political will, an ongoing action plan, cooperation opportunities, available resources, competence, clear management and governance simplified the work with Agenda 2030. Hindering factors inthe process where lack of competence, lack of distinct management and guidance. The corona pandemic has had a negative impact on the economy and organization.  Development opportunities are to continue with the ongoing work and develop management by objectives and the integration of Agenda 2020 in the regular operations.  The conclusion of the study is that the municipalities were in different phases of the implementation process and therefore conditions varied. The municipalities need to pay attention to the supporting factors and work with the hindering factors together with development opportunities to create good conditions for local implementation of Agenda 2030.  Key words: Municipality, Official Worker, Public Health, Qualitative Interviews, Sustainable Development, Top-Down Implementation

Tree series transformations computed by bottom-up and top-down tree series transducers are called bottom-up and top-down tree series transformations, respectively. (Functional) compositions of such transformations are investigated. It turns out that the class of bottomup tree series transformations over a commutative and complete semiring is closed under left-composition with linear bottom-up tree series transformations and right-composition with boolean deterministic bottom-up tree series transformations. Moreover, it is shown that the class of top-down tree series transformations over a commutative and complete semiring is closed under right-composition with linear, nondeleting top-down tree series transformations. Finally, the composition of a boolean, deterministic, total top-down tree series transformation with a linear top-down tree series transformation is shown to be a top-down tree series transformation.

Företag som arbetar med att sälja stora komplexa lösningar finner ofta att det tar mycket lång  tidatt sätta samman och prissätta sina lösningar. På grund av den stora konkurrens som råder för företag inom telekomindustrin, där de företag som erbjuder den mest attraktiva lösningen till det bästa priset vinner affären, är det essentiellt att de företag som konkurrerar om en affär är responsiva och har möjlighet att ändra sina priser till kunden snabbt vid behov. Skillnaden  mellan att snabbt kunna ge ett nytt pris, som fortfarande ger lönsamhet till företaget, mot att inte vara tillräckligt snabb kan vara att företaget vinner eller förlorar affären. I en sådan miljö är det av största vikt att avgöra hur en prisförändring påverkar respektive produkt i lösningen för att säkerställa att företaget har tillräckligt stor vinstmarginal i förhållande till de mål organisationen har satt upp. I dagsläget arbetar Ericsson med att fördela ut den typen av prisförändringar manuellt efter att de har vunnit en affär vilket leder till långa interna diskussioner om hur priset bör fördelas för att tillgodose de olika interna intressenterna. För de som arbetar med prissättningen av lösningar innebär detta bland annat att man måste säkerställa med de olika affärsområden som ansvarar för produkterna om det finns möjlighet att justera priserna och behov av att veta hur mycket de går att justera. I det här arbetet jämför vi den litteratur som finns kring prisstrategier och prissättning av stora komplexa lösningar. Vi använder Ericsson som fallstudie för att etablera hur ett ramverk kan skapas för att distribuera priset på en lösning på de olika produkter som ingår i lösningen. Detta gör vi genom att skapa en intern produktprioritering och följaktligen hur detta bör påverka en prisfördelning över en hel lösning genom att vikta de prisstyrande faktorer som en produkt bedöms ha mot hela lösningen. / Companies selling large and complex solutions often find that the process of configuring and pricing the solutions is a very time-consuming process. Due to the high degree of competition within the telecom industry, where the company offering the best solution to the most competitive price wins the deal, it is essential for companies to be responsive and able to  ework the price of their proposal. The difference between being able to offer a new solution  rice, that is still profitable for the company, and not being able to could be that the company wins or loses the deal. In such a business environment it is of high importance to be able to determine how the change of a solution price affects the products in the proposal in order to ensure that the margin of the proposal aligns with the organizational target margin. At Ericsson, the distribution of a solution price is determined manually after a deal has been won leading to internal discussions of how the price should be distributed between the stakeholders of the proposal. For those in charge of pricing the proposal this means that there is a need to discuss with the respective business unit at the company whether or not there is a possibility to adjust the prices of the proposal and in such a case how much they can be adjusted. In this thesis we compare the existing literature on pricing strategies and pricing large complex solutions. We perform a case study at Ericsson to establish how a top-down pricing framework could be designed to distribute the price of a proposal to the various products in the proposal. We achieve this by creating an internal prioritization of products and thereby we are able to determine how this should affect a price distribution over the entire proposal by calculating the weight of the price steering factors compared to the other products in the proposal.

The aim of this study was to find out how Utbildningsverket’s (UR) pedagogical material, belonging to two miniseries aimed at upper secondary school, use top-down- and bottom-up strategies to teach listening comprehension. For this purpose, a case study method was used where the materials worked as the case to be studied. Furthermore, the approaches that were used for this study were based on taxonomies established by previous research: First, a taxonomy of strategies for listening comprehension illustrated by Graham and Santos (2015). Secondly, a taxonomy relating to listening types, illustrated by Field (2009). With these taxonomies and the English 5 syllabus, the materials were studied as a qualitative case study. The results show that the two criteria in the English 5 syllabus, which relate to strategies, are addressed within the teacher’s guide of both miniseries. Moreover, My English Mistakes and The Great Debate, both implicitly instruct students to use various strategies. The results also show that the top-down strategies are overrepresented in frequency but less varied in listening type variation. However, the strategies that are instructed are not explained or motivated in the materials.

Predators often have strong top-down effects on ecosystems and are considered a priority for conservation and management. Predator activity can influence prey distribution, abundance, and foraging behaviors and are likely to influence habitat by impacting ecological and environmental characteristics as well as presence of competitor species. There are knowledge gaps of the functional diversity of fish assemblages, non-consumptive predator effects, and environmental effects on fish assemblages. With this study, effects of top marine predators, such as sharks and great barracuda, on diversity and abundance of prey communities were examined in putative low (north side of South Bimini = lagoon) and high-risk (south side of South Bimini = flat) areas around South Bimini, The Bahamas. Baited remote underwater video surveys (BRUVs) deployed in the nearshore habitat captured abundance and potential predator-prey interactions. Predator and prey abundances at each site were compared to determine potential risk affect within high and low risk environments. A general baseline of predator and prey species was established throughout six months of observation (January- June 2018). Results showed a difference in prey communities between high and low risk habitats. Teleost abundance was highest on the south side of South Bimini. There were no differences in flight behavior of prey from predator (sharks vs barracuda). Longitude, depth, temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen were significantly linked to biotic assemblages. The identification of significant factors influencing predator-prey interaction is important in understanding community composition and for future implementation of conservation and management practices pertaining to nearby mangrove and seagrass habitats.

Der von der Firma ibb durch Herrn Mirko Krimmel geplante Vortrag im Rahmen der Saxsim 2014, umfasst die Vorgehensweise zur Entwicklung einer Getriebebaureihe als Top-Down Design. Dabei werden die Bauteilauslegungen und Festigkeitsberechnungen mit Mathcad nach der FKM-Richtlinie 2012 vorgestellt, sowie die Möglichkeit gezeigt, Mathcad als übergreifendes Steuerelement für das Skelettmodell nutzen zu können. Weitere Punkte des Vortrags behandeln die Auslegung und Simulation des Gehäuses und der Gesamtbaugruppe mit Creo Simulate 2.0. Anhand der Überprüfung des Verdrehwinkels an der Abtriebsseite infolge von elastischer Verformung der einzelnen Bauteile, zeigen die Stärken des Programms. Eine parallel zur Entwicklung laufende Simulation mit MDX bestätigte die in Mathcad errechneten Werte und lieferte so gleichzeitig eine Verifizierung der 3D-Daten. Referierende Person ist Herr Mirko Krimmel (interne Konstruktion in Petersberg).

Between February 1st and March 16th 2023 sixteen qualitative research interviews wereconducted with deans, vicars and priests of both the Catholic Church in Sweden and theEvangelical-Lutheran Church of Sweden with the aim to compare how they look at their religiousleadership, and what their answers might say about their respective theological traditions using asuggested theory called Comparative Lived Theology. The main research findings rendered fromthese interviews may be divided into the following three sections: firstly, top-down and bottom-upleadership approaches in a religious setting is descriptive of the structure of the religiousorganisations. Secondly, the fact that Evangelical-Lutheranism is a majority religious tradition inSweden sets it apart from minority traditions such as Catholicism, and this affects the religiousleadership. Thirdly, the interviews generated a notion that party politics plays a different role in thestructure of the Evangelical-Lutheran Church of Sweden than it does in the Catholic Church in Sweden.

Abstract The international UN-led peacebuilding mission MINUSMA has been deployed in Mali since 2013 and was initially rather successful. The mission managed to support the government with stabilization and a peace agreement that ended the conflict between the north and the south. However, since 2017 the situation has deteriorated in the presence of MINUSMA. Violence has escalated and several new communal conflicts have emerged primarily in the central regions where Islamist groups have gained ground, and there have been two more coup d’états and the government have been carrying out human rights violations against civilians. By 2023 the people of Mali and the current military government has demanded the mission to withdraw and leave the country. This study set out to understand why civilians oppose international peacebuilding and made a comparative case study of three regions in Mali, Koulikoro in the south, Mopti in the central and Gao in northeastern Mali looking at how opposition against MINUSMA has changed between 2017-2020. The study found that reasons for opposition are multilayered and stem from both historical and contemporary events and experiences. Moreover, the study found that despite substantial research on the importance of including civil society in peacebuilding processes, most civilians, groups and communities have been left out of the peace process and instead the approach has been mainly top-down with MINUSMA supporting the Malian government. The problematic aspect of this is that the government did not support its own people. The study suggest that international peacebuilding must be more context-sensitive and understand the history and root causes of the conflicts to successfully support a country with peacebuilding in order to avoid a situation where the civilian population oppose the mission instead of being included, engaged and committed to the peace process.
