Derived termsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Sweden (pronounced /ˈswiːdən/ (help·info), Swedish: Sverige), officially the Kingdom of Sweden (Swedish: Konungariket Sverige (help·info)), is a Nordic country on the Scandinavian Peninsula in Northern Europe. Sweden has land borders with Norway to the west and Finland to the northeast, and it is connected to Denmark by the Öresund Bridge in the south. At 450,000 km (173,746 sq mi), Sweden is the third largest country in the European Union in terms of area, and it has a total population of over 9.2 million. Sweden has a low population density of 21 people per km² (53 per square mile), but with a considerably higher density in the southern half of the country. About 85% of the population live in urban areas, and it is expected that these numbers will gradually rise as a part of the ongoing urbanization. Sweden's capital is Stockholm, which is also the largest city in the country (population of 1.3 million in the urban area and with 2 million in the metropolitan area). The second and third largest cities are Gothenburg and Malmö. Sweden is a constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary system of government and a highly developed economy. It ranks first in the world in The Economist's Democracy Index and seventh in the United Nation's Human Development Index. Sweden has been a member of the European Union since 1 January 1995 and is a member of the OECD. Sweden emerged as an independent and unified country during the Middle Ages. In the 17th century the country expanded its territories to form the Swedish empire. Most of the conquered territories outside the Scandinavian Peninsula were lost during the 18th and 19th centuries. The eastern half of Sweden, present-day Finland, was lost to Russia in 1809. The last war in which Sweden was directly involved was in 1814, when Sweden by military means forced Norway into a personal union with Sweden, a union which lasted until 1905. Since then, Sweden has been at peace, adopting a non-aligned foreign policy in peacetime and neutrality in wartime. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License In sweden, is there a difference between a degree from a university and university college? Q. I really want to study International Business in Sweden. The only "University" I've found that has this bachelors degree, taught in english, is Malardalen University, which I was told was a university college. In sweden, is there a difference between a University and University college. More importantly, is there a difference between bachelor degrees from either? Asked by Heythereee - Tue Jun 10 01:02:46 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. No, there is no difference between the two if you are going for a bachelor's degree. The difference between a Swedish university and a hoegskola (or a university college as you call it) is that a university have the authority to give people a Doctor's degree. A Swedish employer will not think a bachelor's degree is any less important for being given at a hoegskola (university college).

If you are getting your credits through a US school it may not matter because you will receive credit through the program right? Not the school abroad?

Q. I have two types of glass bottles to recycle- 1. Glass bottles which have a simple recycle logo. From what i heard, these do not pay money if u recycle them. 2. Glass bottles with a special 'bottle'-shaped recycling logo containing the words: '26.3 UK units' or '1.0 EEK' . I've been asking around and different people have told me different things. Hope that someone who is familiar with the system, like who lives in sweden could help me clear up the doubts once and for all. Thanks very much! Asked by aLoe - Sun Mar 1 16:51:48 2009 - - 1 Answers - 1 Comments A. Every Swedish flat I've lived in had a recycling area or room, usually in the cellar of the building (may be labeled atervinning or just have a symbol). Different bins are labeled for different types of waste, and you sort them appropriately. Otherwise, there are communal areas/bins (atervinningsstationer) in neighbourhoods where you can take your sorted bottles, paper, etc. If you are unsure where this is located for you, you should ask a neighbor. I've never received money (pant) for recycling glass bottles, only plastic or aluminum cans. You take these to specified locations (usually grocery stores) and put them in machines. In return, you get a receipt, which can be traded for cash or put towards your grocery bill. Glass is often… [cont.] Answered by Elizabeth - Mon Mar 2 03:58:59 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Sweden"
