The study has shown that retailers in the mid-price segment differentiate their brand through developing a strong company identity around the brand. The personality involves store atmosphere, merchandise and advertising. Larger companies have chosen to lay the responsibility on management level, which facilitates on store level. By controlling the strategies on a central level the company can make sure that the stores are steered in the direction that the company wants them to be steered in, and also that they follow the positioning-concept. The company can also devote its efforts to working with its core value, which is service.

Religionsämnet har genomgått stora förändringar de senaste 100 åren, från att ha varit ett konfessionellt kristendomsämne till att ha blivit ett ämne präglat av förståelse för andras kulturer och livsåskådningar samt etik. Ämnet väcker många reaktioner och elever i gymnasieskolan har många åsikter kring ämnets innehåll och nytta. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur ämnet har förändrats genom att studera olika kursplaner. Vad som påverkat dessa förändringar kommer också att granskas. Att ta reda på hur dagens gymnasieelever ser på religionsämnet är också en del av denna studie.

The overall aim of this study is to examine how Swedish women?s youth- magazines describes women.

This study aims to find out what happens with the roles that are seemingly left behind. Are there roles that are harder or easier to exercise? Available roles with us through life and affect our future decisions or we switched completely away from them and create new roles based on the situations we find ourselves in at the moment? The aim is also to see how the relationship looks like between closed roles and new roles in life. To try to find this out, I have used the narrative method. The study is based largely on Goffman's theories of roles, behind and above the front- and back stage.

During the early Middle Ages beech forests (Fagus sylvatica L.) spread out over large parts of southern Sweden. They had a crucial role in human survival for hundreds of years. For various reasons, the beech forest area has decreased since the 1600s. Spruce planted on former beech forest land was the primary reason for the decline during the second half of the 1900s, which made many worried about the future of the beech forests and led to a beech forest act in 1974. This study describes the background to the beech forest act based on parliamentary official documents.

Många bakverk och maträtter har någon slags form eller förpackning runt om sig. De här formarna kan vara tillverkade av olika material och det här konkurrerar i dagsläget med varandra. Syftet är att ge läsaren en djupare förståelse för vilka attribut som är viktiga för konsumenten samt vilken roll samhällsansvaret spelar för konsument och producent. En kvantitativ metod i form utav en enkätundersökning kommer att användas.Teorierna Corporate social responsibility, produktutveckling och produktdesign kommer att användas. Utifrån enkätundersökningar kommer empirin att samlas in. Attribut som täthet, stabilitet, lossningsförmåga och miljö är viktiga för konsumenten.

Syftet med den här uppsatsen har varit att arbeta fram ett upplägg för hur man kan arbeta tvärvetenskapligt mellan biologi A och religionskunskap A. Vårt mål har inte varit att tvinga fram ett samarbete mellan de båda kurserna, istället har vi utgått ifrån tanken att tvärvetenskapligt arbete enbart är gynnsamt då det finns naturliga överlappningar mellan ämnena. Med hjälp av en ingående litteraturstudie har vi samlat in fakta på vilken vi baserar vårt kursupplägg. I kursupplägget visar vi på hur ett samarbete skulle kunna gå till när man i biologi behandlar genetik och evolution och i religionskunskap behandlar etik och moral samt de fem världsreligionerna. Vi fann att stora delar av kursmålen för de båda kurserna uppfylls av vårt tänkta upplägg, trots att upplägget inte sträcker sig över hela kurserna.

The purpose of this thesis project was to study how different companies are working with LastTime Buy and through that study propose improved ways of working with this for Scania CVAB. The project aimed at studying the work processes from three different perspectives:decision models, quality aspects and liability aspects between companies.To study this, qualitative interviews with one or several representatives from differentcompanies that are affected by or involved in Last Time Buy were used. Representatives wereselected partly from Original Equipment Manufacturers, suppliers, component manufacturersand companies offering third part solutions for Last Time Buy. The companies also reflecteddifferent industries. The interviews aimed to create an understanding for the methods used atthe different companies but also the ways of thinking and the knowledge behind the choice ofthese working methods.The analysis shows that the Original Equipment Manufacturers used very similar decisionmodels for Last Time Buy, but that external factors or the company strategy made them reachdifferent results.

In a classroom it is important that interaction between a teacher and a student works or else the communication between them will be lost or come to harm. In the interaction between teacher and student it is important that both of them respect each other, take the necessary responsibility and cooperate. The purpose of this paper is to investigate how the students per-ceive the communication in the classroom with their teachers and how the interaction be-tween teachers and students affects the communication. We have made interviewed with stu-dent in high school concerning their opinion of how interaction and communication work be-tween teachers and students. Our method is qualitative and we used open-ended questions.

The use of history is the concept of people using and analyzing history in the society for various purposes. Study in this area has largely emerged because there are many different reasons for people and societies to be interested in history. To investigate the use of history, a historical material needs to be present in some form. With this study, I intend to show how older tourist guidebooks can provide such materials of study and therefore I use travel guidebooks about Tallinn released under the USSR (Estonian SSR) between the years 1960 to 1990. The analysis is based on Klas-Go?ran Karlsson's (Professor of History) typology of seven different uses of history: scientific, existential, moral, ideological, political, educational, non-use of history and a commercial use of history.

Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur undervisning i moralfilosofi kan se ut på gymnasiet. Kursplaner och läromedel i filosofi har undersökts. Fyra lärare har i intervjuer gett sin bild av den undervisning i moralfilosofi som de bedriver. Kursplanerna ger varje lärare stor frihet att avgöra vilka teorier som ska diskuteras på lektionerna i filosofi. I uppsatsen diskuteras skillnaden mellan principetik och agentetik. Den första klassificeras ibland som manlig moral, och den senare som kvinnlig.

Syftet med detta fördjupningsarbete är att försöka ge klarhet på några vanliga argument för respektive mot dödsstraffet. Vi vill öka vår kunskap inom detta område för att om möjligt möjliggöra ett ställningstagande gjort utifrån empiriska studier snarare än antaganden. I det inledande kapitlet beskriver vi dödsstraffet genom historiens gång. Vi tar även upp FN:s och Europakonventionens arbete att stoppa nyttjandet av denna straffpåföljd. Vi har sammanställt vårt resultat genom att fördjupa oss i dels fyra facklitterära böcker med olika inställningar till dödsstraffet, dels genom en Brå-rapport samt Amnesty internationell.
