Ordet bostadsbubbla spreds som en löpeld över världen efter den stora sub-primekrisen i USA2008 som påverkade hela världens finansiella system. Sedan dess är oron för nya bubblorkonstant närvarande.Denna uppsats kommer undersöka de argument som framförs för att en bostadsbubblaexisterar i Sverige. Jag studerar den aktuella debatten och granskar argumenten som framförs.Existerar bostadsbubblan eller inte? Uppsatsen tar också reda på vilka riskfaktorer som skullekunna orsaka ett prisfall på bostäder, oavsett om det råder en bostadsbubbla eller inte. Enjämförelse mellan boendekostnaderna för hyresrätt kontra bostadsrätt görs med spännanderesultat.Dessutom tillfrågar jag drygt 100 fastighetsmäklare om deras tro på den svenskabostadsmarknaden.

Agency theory describes the conflict of interest between the principal (stockholders) and the agent (CEO). Aligning the incentives of executives with those of the owners is the most direct way to mitigate the agency problem. If there is no meaningful link between CEO compensation and company performance, it is doubtful that the large sums of assets in public corporations are being managed efficiently. In theory the solution is simple reward the CEO when shareholders wealth increases. The purpose of this paper is to investigate if there is a relationship between company performance and CEO compensation among Swedish companies, in materials and information technology industry.

This Degree project is a study about the Mortgage Cap, introduced in October of 2010, and its impact on the demand for rented apartments. The mortgage cap was introduced to decrease the households? loan-to-value ratio and thereby increase their economical resistance during times of financial instability.The past ten years Swedish households have continuously increased their average loan-to-value ratio. In an attempt prevent this negative development Finansinspektionen introduced a mortgage cap stating that banks should no longer grant mortgages corresponding to more than 85 percent of the property?s market value.In order to answer the main question two methods were used both a survey and two interviews.

The method used to meet the objective was qualitative. The qualitative study was conducted with a hermeneutic basis, where individuals were asked to describe their experience of empowerment and how they feel affected of it. This thesis has a deductive approach, where existing theories dealing empowerment formed the basis for the design of interview substrate, which is then paired with the empirical evidence, based on this the conclusions was drawn.Result & Conclusion:What separates the different kinds of empowerment and how it affect the staff depends most of all on how the management chooses to communicate and share information with their staff.Suggestions for future research:A study regarding managers that works with different kinds of empowerment, and how that affects them, could be regarded as an interesting future research.Contribution of thesis:It shows that different kinds of empowerment affect the staff in different ways, which I made clear to the readers.Keywords:empowerment, thinking skills, relations and organizational - structure and theory.

This pilot study describes a therapy method for persons withBroca´s aphasia. This method is based on the mapping hypothesis (Schwartz,Saffran & Marin 1980). The mapping hypothesis is based on the assumptionthat agrammatism is caused by an inability to combine syntactic structurewith thematic roles. This study describes a combination of the therapymethod mentioned above and the Everyday life activities photo series (ELA,Stark 1992). The aim of the study was to investigate if therapy based on awritten sentence/picture format is a viable starting-point for future research.The therapy presented combined written sentences with pictures describingeveryday life activities.

Akademiska hus is a real estate company that specializes in providing Swedish universities with housing facilities for educational and research purposes. The company strives to reduce its use of energy by 40% between the years 2000 and 2025. The aim of this thesis is to determine which measures can be taken to reduce the need of purchased energy in a building that is used by theSwedishUniversityof Agricultural Sciences inUppsala.In order to determine the results of various changes to the building envelope and ventilation system, the building was modelled in the computer simulation program VIP-Energy. Other proposed changes to make the use of energy more efficient concerned water use and lighting. The need of purchased energy can also be reduced by producing electricity or heat on site, using solar energy.Results show that economically viable measures include upgrading windows and faucets, adjusting control systems for ventilation and lighting, and installing roof mounted solar panels for power production.

Problemformulering: Organisatoriska gränser orsakar i viss mån ett hinder för företags målfokusering; i ett franchiseföretag blir detta problem ännu mer komplext då gränserna tydliggörs i form av skilda ägarförhållanden. Vi vill i denna uppsats undersöka hur franchiseföretag hanterar de problem som uppstår på grund av dessa gränser. Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att öka kunskapen om svårigheter och möjligheter med gränsöverskridande samverkan i ett franchiseföretag. Forskningsfråga: Vilka problem kan organisatoriska gränser ge upphov till och vilka möjligheter finns det att överskrida dessa? Teori: Vi använder oss av teorier kring bland annat agent-principal-problematiken, gränsöverskridande samverkan, informella och formella styrsystem samt belöningssystem.

Syfte:Att sammanställa och använda en teoretisk referensram för att beskriva och analysera ägarstyrningen av statliga bolag med särskilda samhällsintressen Metod:Teorianvändande kvalitativ fallstudie Teoretiska perspektiv:Grundläggande ägarstyrningsteori med särskilt foku's på agent- och intressentteori samt teorier som behandlar socialt ansvarstagande Empiri:Forskning's- och myndighetsrapporter, tidningsartiklar samt intervjuer med bolagsinterna och bolagsexterna källor i ledande positioner Slutsatser:Det är komplicerat att enkelt beskriva och förklara hur ledningarna för de statliga bolagen ägarstyr's. Orsakerna till detta är bland annat begränsade insynsmöjligheter, närvaron av formlö's styrning och ägarförvaltningen's inkonsekventa hantering av de statliga bolagen. Ägarstyrningen verkställ's genom flera parallella mekanismer. Flera aspekter kan förbättra's gällande ägarstyrningen's transparen's, speciellt gäller detta beskrivningar och dokumentation kring ägarförvaltningen's beslutsgång samt informationen som ge's från bolagen. Det sakna's formella riktlinjer för hur de statliga bolagen's styrelser skall sammansätta's.

Uppsalahem is the leading housing corporation in Uppsala with its over 160 real estate properties. Uppsalahem is owned by the municipality of Uppsala, which has a climate and energy goal that aims for 100 MW of solar energy to be installed in Uppsala by 2030. The 100 MW goal, combined with Uppsalahem?s environmental policy, is a strong incentive to investigate the possibility of installing PV modules on the many available roof areas that Uppsalahem possesses. The objective of this thesis is to create a foundation for future decisions regarding PV systems for Uppsalahem.

The Swedish Government has set a target to reduce energy consumption through energy efficiency within the construction and real estate sector. The purpose of the study is to examine how energy efficiency within this sector could affect the district heating volume in the future, on basis of Vattenfalls district heating system in Uppsala.An Excel model has been created to study how energy effficiency measures affects district heating demand in buildings by 2045, based on technical and economicalconditions. Furthermore, an interview study has been conducted to examine incentives for district heating customers to invest in energy efficiency measures.Result of the Excel model shows that the district heating volume of Vattenfall in 2045 is expected to 931 GWh, which corresponds to a volume decrease of 10,6 %. Based on the study?s theoretical framework only 15 %, 1 024 GWh, of the technical-economical potential is assumed to be implemented.

Summary The place I have been working with is a garden, belonging to a family estate, called Tolvmansgården. It is located on an island northeast of Norrtälje in Roslagen. The frontage is red with white corners like so many other houses in the neighbourhood, but ours is one of the oldest houses on the island. Today the house and garden is own by my mother, Pia Johansson. Since I?ve started my education in garden design my interest for our country garden has increased.

AbstraktDen har undersökningen handlar om förändringsagentens roll och funktion i förskolan och skolan. Förändringsagentens funktion kan på ett övergripande sätt beskrivas som att verka som pedagogiska ledare med uppgift att stimulera och driva på förskolor och skolors förbättringsarbete. I min studie intresserar jag mig för hur pedagoger upplever och erfar deras arbete och jag vänder mig till pedagoger som i någon form interagerar med en agent i sitt yrkesliv.Forskning har visat att det varit svårt för en ensam rektor att få till ett pedagogiskt ledarskap som leder till högre måluppfyllelse och en högre kvalitet på elevens lärande. Vissa kommuner satsat extra resurser och inrättat särskilda tjänster för att stärka det pedagogiska ledarskapet. Målsättning med de nya tjänsterna är således att förstärka upp verksamheternas utvecklingsorganisation.2009 påbörjades ett treårigt aktionsforskningsprojekt mellan Karlstads universitet och tre svenska kommuner; Hagfors, Järfälla och Årjäng.  Min studie ingår som en del av denna mer omfattande undersökning.

Background: The consumers of today have the possibility to choose from a wide range of products and services. Consequently, the ability to differentiate the products is essential for the brand owners. If a brand owner does not manage to differentiate its product, it can be difficult to make the consumers realise the benefits of the product and convince them to buy it. One way to differentiate the product is to create a distinguished brand identity. However, it is not enough to create a strong brand identity, the brand owner must also be capable of communicating the brand identity successfully.
