Vad kan vara bakgrunden till att konsumenter väljer att konsumera högkvalitativa och exklusiva matprodukter? Hur kan företag kategorisera in dessa konsumenter i olika konsumentgrupper? Var och vid vilka tillfällen väljer dessa konsumenter att konsumera exklusiva matprodukter?Metod: Studien är en kvalitativ studie där en kombinerad fall- och tvärsnittsstudie är genomförd. De data som samlats in och ligger till grund för studiens resultat och slutsats är genomförd genom litteraturstudier, intervjuer samt en frågeenkätundersökning.

The aim of this Masters´ thesis is to examine parenthood, gender and equality. The analysis is based on the novel Bitterfittan. The primary theoretical points of departure are Judith Butler?s theory about doing gender and Yvonne Hirdman?s theory about the gender system, the hierarchical order and the separation of the sexes. I use Lisbeth Bekkengen?s thesis in which the nuclear family is seen as an institution which is upheld by two structures; that is the social relationships man-woman and parent-child, and also by two discourses; on the one hand a notion that fathers and mothers are principally different and on the other hand the child focus.

Background: Approximately one in three Swedish people will receive a cancer diagnosis. Cancer primarily affects the elderly but also young people suffer. Young people are in a period of life that could put a strain of the ordinary when they are faced with choices and new challenges. The basic sense of security in everyday life is not so obvious and many suffer from, for example, stress and the feeling of being inadequate in relation to the requirements. It is relevant that the nurses can put themselves into what it is like to be young and afflicted with cancer, with the pressures of life itself and what the disease represents.

I denna uppsats har jag undersökt hur  Harold Campings domedagsrörelses, ?Campingitismens? och därmed radiostantionsnätverk Family Stations Inc.s, religiösa föreställningsvärld ser ut som de sprider världen över.Undersökningen går igenom frågorna: (1) vem är mannen bakom profetian om den 21 maj 2011?, (2) vilka är Harold Campings centrala läror och vad grundar de sig på?, (3) på vad grundar sig hans profetia om Jesu återkomst den 21 maj 2011?, (4) vad är hans föreställning om frälsning och hur kan man realisera detta mål?, (5) hur skiljer sig ?Campingitismens? frälsningsläror från Heaven?s Gates eller finns det några likheter mellan dem? (6) vad är det som lockar folk till ?Campingi-tismen??89-årige amerikanen, Harold Camping verkställande chef och grundare av USAs nittonde största radiostationsnätverk  Family Stations Inc., kallad Family Radio tolkar Bibeln samt profeterar om domedagen på sitt allegorisk sätt genom sina radiosändningar, internet, satellit TV och sina 30-tal böcker och häften runt om i världen. Hans mening tycks vara att evangelisera var och en här på jorden. Utan att ha någon teologisk utbildning verkar han ändå kunna sin Bibel från pärm till pärm.Campings centrala läror hänger strikt ihop med Bibeln, den är den enda ultimata sanningen som ska lydas ordagrant. Hans förhållande till religion, till ett kristet liv och Bibeln har kalvinistiska influenser och fundamentalistiska drag enligt min uppfattning.

Since the beginning of the 1900s Sweden has had laws and rules governing the ownership of agricultural and forest land. The foundations of the current Land Ownership Law, ?Jordförvärvslagen 1979:230(JFL)?, are from 1979. The most recent review and adaptation of the law occurred in 2005. Its main purpose is to prevent a passive ownership of land in Sweden and to ensure that the land is actively worked.

This thesis aims to investigate whether the parties Danish People?s Party, the Progress Party, the Finns Party and the Sweden Democrats can be categorized within the same party family, based upon the parties positions regarding the EU and European integration. The thesis contributes to increased knowledge and deeper understanding about these parties stances toward the EU and European integration, with a particular focus on how euroscepticism is expressed within each party. The thesis addresses the following research questions: which category of euroenthusiast, europragmatist, eurosceptic and euroreject best describes each of the four parties? Do the parties fall within the same category, or are they dispersed across different categories? The categories are based on different conceptualizations of euroscepticism (Kopeck? & Mudde, 2002), which composes the theoretical framework along with an analytical scheme based on the different conceptualizations.

This thesis has been carried out at the Building and Civil Engineering Programme at Chalmers University of Technology in cooperation with NCC Technology. The study aims to investigate the optimal design of a library of standardized structural solutions for in-house multi-family buildings and what benefits it brings. Today NCC use technology platforms to improve efficiency and simplify the construction process. The platforms provide the constructors guidelines on how construction details should look like, but the details are not complete. NCC Technology started in the spring of 2013 a project to investigate what benefits there are to create a library of standardized structural solutions for the constructors, with more detailed solutions than in the platforms.
