Syftet med denna uppsats var att ta reda på om gränsturistbyråernas särskilda ställning som inkörsport till Sverige kan förstärkas. Vi ville även studera vilka förutsättningar det finns att utveckla lokala gränsturistbyråer till att bli mer regionala och nationella turismportaler. Gränsstationernas funktion som inkörsport till landet ställer särskilda krav på att de kan ge en mer utförlig information om hela Sverige. Vi har valt att avgränsa oss till Årjängs, Strömstads, Karlstads, Eurotax i Töcksfors och Morokuliens turistbyråer. Turistresan startar med att det uppstår ett behov av att resa till en destination någonstans.

Background: In newspaper articles, we can nowadays read headlines as"Stop the robbing!"and"They pay extra tax through rent". A column in Göteborgsposten describes enormous amounts of money, pouring between municipal companies. Numerous of local newspapers have started to pay attention to their municipal companies and the transfer of profits from municipal housing enterprises and electric power companies. What are upsetting these journalists then? Both Hyresgästföreningen (The Swedish tenants? association) and Boverket (The Swedish National Housing Board) indicate that the fiscal purpose of transactions within the group no longer is primary for municipalities.

Hjärtsvikt är ett tillstånd då hjärtfunktionen försämrats och cirkulationen inte förser kroppens alla organ med tillräckligt stort blodflöde. Vid hjärtsviktsbehandling är loopdiuretika viktigt för att behandla ödem då det verkar vätskedrivande. Torasemid är ett loopdiuretika som har visats vara effektivt och bra tolererat. I flera studier har effekterna jämförts mellan torasemid och furosemid varvid många betydelsefulla och förmånliga effekter har observerats för torasemid. Syftet med litteraturstudien var att ta reda på om torasemid kan vara ett bättre alternativ till furosemid vid hjärtsviktsbehandling, om torasemid bör kombineras med spironolakton, om furosemid borde sluta användas och varför torasemid inte används i större utsträckning vid hjärtsviktsbehandling. Slutsatsen av litteraturstudien är att torasemid borde användas istället för furosemid vid behandling av hjärtsvikt, vilket grundas på de fördelar som har redovisats i genomförda studier.

The ability of dairy cows to survive and the economic importance of this have been in-creasing in dairy cattle breeding lately. Increased longevity contribute to an increased pro-portion of cows that produce milk in more productive lactations and reduces the replace-ment costs together with a good health and fertility. Unfortunately it is often argued that longevity has been decreasing due to a strong selection for production traits in dairy cattle.The aims of this study were to find correlations between different longevity evaluations and between different estimates on longevity and other traits in the Nordic Total Merit (NTM) breeding value. The aim was also to compare different traits for cows of two differ-ent longevity groups.The data were Predicted Breeding Values (PBV) from Nordic HOL and SR bulls and records from Holstein (HOL) and Swedish Red (SR) cows estimated by the Swedish Dairy Association.The three Swedish longevity indexes were very highly correlated (>0.89) and the corre-lations between the Swedish official longevity index and the five Nordic Cattle Genetic Evaluation (NAV) longevity indexes varied between 0.73-0.83.In the sire evaluation part, the traits most negatively correlated with longevity for HOL were dairyness, protein and fat index. In SR, milk, protein, and fat index only had slightly positive correlations with longevity.

The inequality and separation of sexes seen in organizations may lead to inefficient use of human resources. Therefor, a more equal organization could lead to higher productivity and efficiency. Inequality within organizations is a problem also for the society as a whole since who is chosen for a position is not depended upon merits, leading to inefficiency. To not reflect upon traditional division of labor and decision-making could also lead to an undemocratic and unjust society. The aim of this thesis is to explore women and men?s engagement a family business in an agricultural setting. Gender theorists argue that gender arises from the social situation in society.

Underjordens landskap är något som intresserar och fascinerar många människor. Grottor lockar till sig turister och utforskare över hela världen. Den har en förmåga att generera flera olika associationer till oss just för sitt starka symbolvärde. Grottan är intressant att dokumentera i flera olika vetenskapsgrenar och kan därför ses som en tvärvetenskaplig företeelse. Upplevelsen av grottan påverkas av vad den symboliserar och vilket vetenskap-ligt intresse vi har med vårt besök.

To understand and explain how the borderland between civil and corporate societies areconstructed and reproduced in the organisations subjectivity. I want to study the navigationsand interpretations of the different actors in the field in an explorative manner.? How do the leaders of the organisations interpret governing and strategic management? Whatconcepts are used? How is the leadership constructed?How do they discuss the demands of management and structure coming from outside theorganisations? How are the organisations shaped by accountability and normative conceptions of leadership?What is their view on the demands coming from within the organisations? What role does thedemocratic governance body have in relation to the employees and the management?What is their view on employment, relations with trade unions and employer associations andthe managerial position of the organisations?The Swedish context with strong emphasis on membership and democratic rights for themembers and volunteers has not gained a large impact on the international researchconcerning non-profit management. Instead the service delivering organisations working withgovernment contract and hired recruiters and volunteer management is in focus. This makes ita very interesting area of research.

Objective: The objective of this thesis is to investigate how Scania has attained success to establish on the Indian market and to inquire into the establishment process of Scania and their entrance in the Indian market. The thesis describes different factors such as the product, mode of entry, time of entry and choice of market that play a role when a company establishes and invest in a foreign market.Method: This thesis is limited to the process of establishing Scania on the Indian truck market. A qualitative approach has being utilized in this study, consisting of interviews withStaffan Sjöström, development manager at the R&D department, Koen Knoops, vice president at Financial Services and Henrik Fagrenius, former managing director for Scania in India. Data collection from various journals and articles have been conducted for the presentation of the number of sold newly registered trucks in comparison to the number of sold newly registered trucks in India by Volvo, Tata Motors and Ashok Leyland during 2010, 2011, 2012 and the first three quarters of 2013.Theory: With a starting-point in empirism, we have used a theoretical frame of reference to describe Scania´s establishment process. Scania makes use of an internationalization strategy, namely Market Selection, Time of Entry and Entry mode and the network model, which describes the process of establishing on a foreign market as a business association with various players on the market.

The purpose of this essay is to examine wage-earners' investment funds from the ideological point of view. Were they in any way an integrated part of social democratical democratic socialism and reformism? I emphasize Olof Palme´s ideological idea of democratic socialism and reformism, and how he handled the issue. How did the question of these funds correspondent with the basic ideological points of view, and what was the standpoint of Palme in this issue.My method is built upon a deep study and analyses of SAP board of party and the standing committees protocol in the light of Olof Palme´s and SAP's ideology. I even use information from literature, inquiries and dissertations.

Farmers Cooperative has in recent years developed from national markets to cross-border, international, collaborations. One example is the merger between the Swedish dairy company Arla and Danish MD Foods, where the companies collectively are sought to reduce transaction costs and thus improve efficiency. The Swedish market for commodities (fertilizers and pesticides) in agriculture has for many years been dominated by a few large players, with little opportunity for grain associations and local grain companies to offer their customers a varied range of commodities with a competitive pricing.To change this state, a majority of Swedish and Danish grain associations and local grain companies have established a trans-national cooperation. Through the establishment of the organization DLA Agro, they offer their customers a good variety of products with competitive prices. This study investigates thus according to the theory of cooperative models to what extent and how the DLA Agro helps to create benefits for the Swedish member companies.

I snart 40 a?r har kommunerna i Norra Norrlands inland spelat en viktig roll i bil- och komponenttestindustrin. Hit har fordon sedan bo?rjan av 1970-talet kommit fo?r att testas till sin gra?ns i vinterklimat. Vinter- testning av fordon a?r en mycket viktig del av fordonsutvecklingen.

Palm oil has been used in processed food commodities since the 19th century. An increasing demand for regulating and ensuring a more sustainable palm oil production has resulted in various initiatives. However, these initiatives have received critique due to lack of compliance and insufficient revisions of palm oil plantations. The initiatives for creating an ethical, social and environmentally sustainable production are not sufficient for the Swedish industrial users of palm oil. As a result, stakeholders such as Swedish food processing companies, commit to ethical sourcing codes of conduct that go beyond the international palm oil initiatives.

Bakgrunden till denna uppsatts är att ett större projekt har inletts i samarbete mellan McDonalds Sverige, Sveriges nötköttsproducenter (SNP) och Lantbruksuniversitetet (SLU) i Alnarp. I projektet skall man undersöka hur det är möjligt att skapa en bättre och säkrare tillgång & lönsamhet genom hela kedjan för svenskt nötkött. I denna uppsats, som är en del av det större projektet, så kommer jag att inrikta mig på att undersöka och sammanställa information om hur förtroende skapas i en leverantörskedja för nötkött i Irland och undersöka vilka faktorer som styr belåtenheten i leverantörskedjan. I litteraturstudien kommer det att inledningsvis beskrivas hur Irlands nötköttsföretagande är uppbyggt, följt av ett kort stycke om McDonalds Irland och Bord Bias kvalitetssäkringssystem som används inom kedjan. Sedan följer en litteraturgenomgång om hur en leverantörskedja kan vara uppbyggd och fungera, hur relationer fungerar i leverantörskedjan, förhållandet mellan belåtenhet och förtroende i leverantörskedjan och en beskrivning av leverantörskedjan av nötkött. Studien grundar sig på kvalitativa intervjuer med fyra irländska nötköttsproducenter, två irländska slakterier och en nötköttsansvarig på IFA (Irish Farmers? Association).
