We have examined how the dependence, identity and social bonds affect customer loyalty and attachment to a training centre. The method used is a survey on SATS Karlstad city where 128 respondents were asked, out of which 118 surveys were used in the final analysis. The data was analyzed using ANCOVA and multiple regressions.The result showed significant relationships on attachment between identity and dependence. Social bonds had no significant effect on the attachment a member have towards training centre. Customer loyalty was measured by how long the individual has been a member and his or her training frequency.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the possibility of streamlining the test process by utilizing pair programming. During the process, pair programming has been practiced as is defined by the Extreme programming (XP) software development methodology, with the other aspects of XP discarded. The focus of the testing itself has been toward unit testing. The methods applied has been with an experimental approach where 93 cases were attempted to be solved by either single programmers or pair programmers. What has been investigated in these experiments was the time needed to complete a case, how many test attempts were needed to solve the case, and how high a percentage of the cases were solved.

Utvecklingen inom ambulanssjukvården de senaste decennierna har varit omfattande och står idag för både avancerad sjukvård utanför sjukhuset och transporten av dessa patienter till sjukhus. Fler vårdkedjor startas vilket innebär att mer vård utförs på plats hos patienten, efter det transporteras patienten direkt till behandlande specialistavdelning, utan att fördröjas på akutmottagningen. Denna utveckling ställer ökade krav på fler specialistutbildade ambulanssjuksköterskor. Det är ofta snabba och svåra beslut som skall tas och felaktiga beslut kan ge svåra konsekvenser för patienten.Syfte: Syftet med studien var att beskriva förändringar i tid med och utan prehospital omvårdnad för patienter med bröstsmärtor i ett treårsperspektiv.Metod: Studien var retrospektiv med en komparativ design. Data från januari under 2009-2011 samlades in i form av ärenderapporter från SOS-alarm, som sedan jämfördes med varandra.Resultat: I studien ingick 254 patienter.

This report deals with life-history variation for Eurasian perch (Perca fluviatilis L.), with special emphasis on age and size at maturity in females, in perch populations that have changed in size distribution. The collection of fish samples was made with multimesh gill nets year 2011. The perch?s length, height, weight, status of gonads has been analyzed, and by observing the opercular bone the age has been determined. In two lakes close to Umeå in northern Sweden, Fisksjön and Ängersjön, the live-history traits of perch have been studied.

En ny fastighetsmäklarlag trädde i kraft juli 2011 (SFS 2011:666). I och med detta blev det lagligt för fastighetsmäklare att förmedla sidotjänster. Detta innebär att de vid sidan av själva förmedlingsuppdraget får erbjuda andra tjänster till kunderna. De får för sidotjänsterna ta ut en mindre summa i ersättning. Tidigare har sidotjänster ansetts som förtroenderubbande och därmed har det varit olagligt.

Syftet med uppsatsen var att undersöka hur man i skolan nyttjar elevers kunskaper och livserfarenheter från religionernas värld. Jag har genomfört kvalitativa intervjuer med fyra lärare som undervisar i religionsämnet på antingen grundskolans senare år eller på gymnasiet. Tre av de intervjuade lärarna var verksamma på grundskolans senare år och en lärare på gymnasiet. De läroplaner jag använt mig av är Läroplan för grundskolan 2011 och Läroplan för gymnasiet 2011. Resultatet av dessa intervjuer visade att lärarna ser på mångkulturen i skolan som någonting berikande och elevernas kunskaper om religioner som ett välkommet inslag i undervisningen.

Abstract Aims and objectives. To examine whether an intervention with carbohydrate- counting at onset of type 1 diabetes in children, has had any effect on metabolic indicators such as HbA1c , BMI-sds and total daily insulin / kg, 2 months and 1 year after onset by age and gender .Background. The pediatric department at the university hospital of Norrland in Umeå (NUS), has since several years a higher average HbA1c among children 0-17 years, compare with pediatric departments in the rest of Sweden.  Therefore, in autumn 2011, an intervention was made to teach children with diabetes and their parents to count carbohydrates from the onset of diabetes. Using this method they can regulate their insulin doses depending on the amount of carbohydrates they are eating.Design. This is an empirical registry study done on the basis of a quantitative method.

In Sweden the latest curriculum, Lpo 94 was released in 1994. This document revolutionized the teaching profession. The school system was changed from a governmental control into a communal control. The earlier curriculums were controlled by rules; Lpo 94 is controlled by aims.

This report is an attempt to clarify how religious and non-religious views-of-life [livsåskådningar] are created through the collaboration and opposition of religious and scientific elements/ideas. This with the hope of reaching a fruitful result related to the solution of world-view related conflicts, such as the ones existing between science and religion, on an individual and societal level.This is accomplished with the help of two assertions: (1) Mankind has a need to explain its existence and surroundings. (2) Religion and science has their origins in the same seed and aim to serve the same purpose, or function. Together these two assertions lay the theoretical foundations of this report which implies that all humans have an innate need of sustaining a stable world-view.The result of this report is that a final solution to world-view related conflicts are beyond reach as our mental and physical nature limits us. However there are strategies for minimizing world-view related conflicts effect on society..

I den här studien har vi undersökt hur damlandslaget har gestaltats i Aftonbladet och Expressen vid de sex senaste mästerskapen. Vi har undersökt i vilken utsträckning mästerskapen har bevakats och hur de gestaltats. Stämmer tidigare teorier om att den mediala framställningen av kvinnliga idrottare är mindre saklig än i gestaltningen av manliga idrottare?För att söka svar på detta har vi använt en kvantitativ undersökning av 206 artiklar från världsmästerskapen mellan åren 1991 och 2011, publicerade av Aftonbladet och Expressen. Därefter har vi genomfört en kvalitativ innehållsanalys av 13 artiklar utifrån tidigare forskning om medial framställning av kvinnliga idrottare samt feministisk teori om normativ dualism.Studien visar att världsmästerskapen för damer har fått alltmer utrymme i både Aftonbladet och Expressen, även om ökningen varit ojämn över tid.

In which ways do the opinions of the participant of the work of the committee of responsibility, coincide and differ when it comes to the importance of the regional identity in the case of a new regional division?2. How has the committee of responsibility worked on development of consciousness and mobilisation for the creation of the regional identity in its final report?A method called the argumentation analysis was used in this study.

Our social lives and where we live shape our choices in life. One of those choices is which party we vote for in the general election. The aim of this thesis is to see if there are any connections between the Swedish general election of 2010, demography, socioeconomic factors and geography. This is done with regression analysis and chosen variables. Another aim is to see where in Sweden the chosen variables aren?t enough to explain the results of the election.

AbstractThis study is about describing the pre- internationalization phase and to studycompanies that are in this phase. We are trying to capture characteristics of decisionmakersin the pre- internationalization phase, to then compare the theoretical materialwith empirical material from case companies. Then in the final stages of the thesis, wewant to account for if we managed to answer our research questions. In the method, wegive a description of the approach selected in conjunction with the study. The study isqualitative and we used both primary and secondary data, with a deductive approach.The theory chapter will consider the most relevant theories that are related to the topic,which is internationalization, pre-internationalization, international entrepreneurship,and the psychology behind personalities, attitudes, and how these can affect theorganization's strategic decisions.
