En välskött golfbana kräver ofta ett intensivt skötselarbete för att tilltala spelarna estetiskt och spelmässigt. Kemiska bekämpningsmedel används både mot svampangrepp och ogräs, men med hjälp av förebyggande metoder kan man minska denna användning. Även tillsynsmyndigheten kan se till att användningen minskas genom att ställa hårdare krav på verksamheterna. För att få golfbanorna att bli så gröTo keep a high standard of the golf courses intensive maintenance work might be required. To avoid weeds, fungi and diseases on the courses almost half of all golf clubs in Sweden use chemical pesticides.

Kriminalvårdares vardagliga arbete hamnar lätt i skymundan då medier ofta väljer att uppmärksamma dramatiska händelser eller skandaler, såsom rymningar. Denna uppsats syftar till att analysera den sociala och emotionella kontroll som råder mellan kriminalvårdare. Då kriminalvården är en arbetsplats fylld av regler krävs det även en viss reglering mellan kollegor. Vi har med hjälp av sju kvalitati
I pågående flyktingkris har hjälporganisationer haft svårigheter att samla in pengar till olika projekt. Att utforma annonser som motiverar till hjälpbeteenden är därför av stor vikt. Tidigare forskning visar att hjälporganisationer som presenterar annonser med en personlig berättelse om ett identifierat offer genererar flest donationer. Studier visar även på att tillföra statistisk information tiDuring the current refugee crisis charities have been having difficulties raising money for different projects. The ability to make charity appeals that motivate helping is therefore of utmost importance.
