The information technique is developing at a fast pace and almost all new technique is being welcomed with opened arms. The newest on the market is the tablet device, it´s a device used for surfing the web, sending email, watching movies and playing games. It is now also being used in some schools for educational purposes. My research goal has been to find out how the teachers feel about using the tablet device for educational purposes. I have conducted interviews to find the answers to my questions.

New forms of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have become more influential in development contexts. The concept of ?The Digital Divide? points at a large division between rich and poor countries regarding access to ICTs. Critics say that the debate concerning this topic for far too long has focused mainly on the technology itself rather than social factors which impact social inclusion and development. Scholars agree that ICTs holds a tremendous potential, but how is this implemented in development contexts and how can it be used with more sensitivity towards local preconditions and social aspects?This paper aims to examine how ICTs are being used in the context of development within an India based organisation for women called SEWA (Self Employed Women?s Association).

Sverige och världen har under de senaste åren fått uppleva en fantastisk högkonjunktur. Det har varit lätt att låna pengar och företagen har gjort fina vinster. I spåren av god tillgång på kapital är företagsförvärv alltid aktuella. En relevant fråga för varje köpare är dock hur ett förvärv skall redovisas. Hur företagsförvärv skall redovisas har avseende noterade bolag genomgått genomgripande förändringar de senaste åren.

Syfte: Den här studien undersöker hur företaget Icehotel arbetar med marknadsföring samt vad som lockar turisten att besöka denna turistattraktion. Vi har valt att studera och forska närmare kring människans fem sinnen, vilket består av syn, ljud, lukt, smak och känsel.Metod: I denna studie arbetar vi med kvalitativa metoder. Vi har utfört en deltagande observation på plats för att kunna få en djupgående förståelse för hur de fem sinnena påverkas under vistelsen. En stor del av empirin består av information som vi har fått genom email- och kvalitativa intervjuer. Det är sju informanter som har besvarat våra intervjufrågor.

Kraftiga minskningar av offentliga stöd till kulturfälten har idag resulterat i att intresset för det ekonomiska perspektivet inom kultur ökat, och förändrat synen på ekonomins roll inom kultur. Allt fler kulturverksamheter har börjat tillämpa metoder från det privata näringslivet. En av dessa kulturverksamheter är Riksteatern, som under åren 2006-2008 genomförde en helomfattande omorganisation där ordet kvalitet stod i fokus. För att kunna genomdriva en organisatorisk kvalitetsförbättring tog Riksteatern hjälp av ett koncept som främst använts inom näringslivet. Detta koncept går under namnet totalkvalitetsstyrning översatt från engelskans Total Quality Management (TQM) och handlar bland annat om att skapa en helhets syn på verksamheten i syfte att minska kostnader, osäkerheter och samtidigt förbättra kvaliteten.Vårt syfte med uppsatsen är att beskriva och förklara konsekvenserna av att använda TQM i Riksteaterns omorganisation som påbörjades 2007.

The study was carried out as a time study of five wood chippers placed on trucks,so?called huggbilar. They are trucks with built?in wood chipper, chip bowl and crane pulling a chip trailer. The system is used for chipping wood fuel, transporting, and delivering the chips to heating plants.

I takt med att globaliseringen har fört samman länder har företag tvingats att expandera utomlands för att kunna klara av den ökade konkurrensen från utländska företag. Det har i sin tur ökat betydelsen utav samarbetet mellan moderbolaget och dess dotterbolag. Expatriates skickas utomlands av sina företag av många anledningar, det kan vara för att föra in moderbolagets företagskultur till dotterbolag eller tillföra spetskompetens som dotterbolaget saknar. Anledningarna kan variera men det har blivit allt viktigare för företaget och expatriaten att se till att han/hon kommer in i samhället och jobbet på ett bra sätt. I den här uppsatsen har vi valt att jämföra teori och empiri för att se hur dess stämmer överens med varandra med hänseende till vilka problem som uppkommer när svenska expatriaten kommer till Japan.

This essay started with a describing of Vision2020 that aims to get incoming tourism doubled and to make global travellers choose Sweden as their destination at the first place. Furthermore, we discuss those 12 priority markets that a Swedish leading communications company in the tourism Visit Sweden puts effort and promotes. Poland was not on the list of the selected countries. With our research we aim to show that the Polish market has potential. Compelling factors point to that Sweden and Poland are neighbour countries with good transport connections and, not least, that the countries have long historical relationships with each other.

Background: In 2001 the European Commission presented legislation to require use of IASB standards named IAS/IFRS for all listed parent companies within the EU no later than 2005, to improve an internal market for financial services within the EU. This harmonisation of the accounting regulations answers to the social development of today with land-frontiers easier to cross, increased demands on an open financial market and the companies searching for risk capital outside the boundaries of the own country. International comparisons within accounting have consequently become more of current interest and necessary. When the requirement to use the IASB standards only is intended for the group accounting the remaining question is according to which regulations the parent companies will set up their annual financial reports. In Statens Offentliga Utredningar 2003:71(Swedish Government Official Reports) the parent companies are suggested to be given an opportunity to apply IAS/IFRS also in the annual financial report.

Transcending sound design is possible. There are unseen possibilities and a great potential for improvement and development in sound and music design ? but there is a great difficulty penetrating the obstacles that lies in the way for such development to take place and to exist. The difficulties in being negotiable and productive lies more within the limits of the audience it has to gain, than in itself. It is as though music and sound design has to evolve very slowly, in an almost evolutionary style; one step at a time, to be accepted.

In Europe, the central governments are the ones to coordinate the international standards and strategies regarding GPP; Green Public Procurement. However in Spain a GPP program was introduced late and only applied to the Central Government Institutions, (AGEA) (BOE nr. 027, 2008). These means that smaller administrations, such as, Autonomous Regions, Municipalities and Town Councils were not included in the program. The absence of a national program which excludes those governments made them introduce their own criteria for GPP, and the difference in criteria varies from one government to the other.

Throughout the years the Swedish local history societies have collected a large quantity of material, consisting of photos, documents and items, among others. As the society has become more computerized, the need has increased for these collections to become digitalized. This is a way to make their media more easily accessible to the general public, but also to easily be able to archive and preserve for example photos and videos electronically.This thesis concerns itself with the work we have done for the local history society of Nyed in Molkom. The task set before us consisted of creating both a website for the society, and a reliable database from witch the website draws its information. This project allows anyone with administrator privileges to upload new files and any additional information.
