Background: Mergers have been increasing during the latter part of the 1990s. In the Nordic region many previously national companies have joined their forces to create a new Nordic company. This will lead to many challenges when the companies are integrated.Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the integration phase. Our goal is to study the integration of Cloetta Fazer and learn how the company can handle the two types of integration. Procedure: To be able to prove our assumptions, that were made on the basis of literature, we have collected empirical material by interviewing eight managers at Cloetta Fazer.

Utländska direktinvesteringar har under senare år på bred front ökat sin framfart runtom i världen. Dessa har bidragit till en ökad välfärd för såväl företag som länder, och framför allt utvecklingsländer är i stort behov av dessa då både kunskap och ny teknologi överförs till värdlandet. Denna uppsats syftar till att analysera variabler som varit viktiga drivare för FDI, och med hjälp av en regressionsanalys undersöka sambandet i Sydamerika. Resultatet överensstämmer till viss del med teorin. Protektionistiska tullar, utbredd turism samt till viss del hög export är de variabler som attraherar FDI i störst utsträckning..

This paper studies the schoolstaffs experiences of children with ADHD within the region of Kalmar kommun. The aim is to describe and analyze these experiences from a gender perspective. The study is of a qualitative art and is based on six interviews whith school principals. The theory that is used to analyze the six interviews is the theory of socialconstructivism. The study shows that boys and girls generally is treated differently by the schoolstaff.

Efterfrågepriselasticitet är en väldigt viktig faktor i processen för strategiskt beslutfattande, främst då det gäller prissättningen. Beslutsfattarna vill veta hur en prishöjning kommer att påverka försäljningen av produkten/tjänsten. De kan också ta hjälp av efterfrågepriselasticiteten om deras mål är att vinna marknadsandelar och beräkna hur mycket priset bör sänkas för att få en viss antal nya kunder. Priselasticiteten på efterfrågan av kollektivtrafiken kan ha många olika användningsområden. Eftersom prissättningen av en sådan tjänst inte bara påverkar hur många personer kommer att använda sig av kollektivtrafiken utan att också hur många bilar som kommer att finnas ut på vägarna, är det en viktig faktor för en (nuförtiden väldigt eftersträvat) effektiv miljöpolitik.

In my paper I have examined the United Nations role in the democratization of Kosovo. In order to complete this purpose I have asked two questions? How has the UN contributed to the democratization of Kosovo that has taken place so far?? What advantages and/or disadvantages has the UN presence in Kosovo had from a democratic perspective?The method I have used in my paper is a qualitative one, and more specified a qualitative text analysis. This means that I have examined a rather small number of sources, but in return I have analyzed these sources very carefully. In addition to the choice of a qualitative method I have used Robert A.

Little research has been done within the field of the use of textbooks and teaching aids in Spanish asa foreign language (SFL) teaching in Sweden. This study attempts to find answers to how teachersand teacher students use, view and choose SFL teaching aids. To accomplish this, qualitativeinterviews were carried out with Spanish teachers and Spanish teacher students in a city in northernSweden. A survey was also sent to all current SFL teachers in the central coastal region of Norrland.The study indicates that SFL textbooks are of great importance to the participating teachers andteacher students. Furthermore, a wish to enhance the level of interest of Spanish and Spanish/LatinAmerican culture, provide a varied teaching experience and improve their students? self-esteem arefactors influencing teachers in their use and choices of teaching aids..

?Ecosystem services are the ecosystems direct and indirect contributions of ecosystems to human well-being.? In order to reach the generation target and the environmental objectives it is important to increase the awareness of biodiversity and ecosystem services and it?s importance to human welfare and simultaneously highlighting the value of ecosystem services. The value of ecosystem services should be integrated into economic standpoints, political considerations and other decisions in the society. In today?s society there is a problem concerning that the value of ecosystem services are not considered in economic terms, which can result in solutions that are unfavorable for our welfare (Ministry of Environment, 2012).

Syftet med arbetet är att beskriva och analysera implementering och etablering av Balanced Scorecard inom Primärvården i ett svenskt landsting. Vidare ämnar vi diskutera om och i sådana fall varför styrkortet blivit etablerat inom organisationen. Empirin är hämtad från intervjuer med fyra personer med olika befattning inom Primärvården i Region Skåne. Balanced Scorecard har implementerats successivt i sju år och kan nu sägas vara etablerat inom Primärvården, med undantag av vissa enheter. Etableringen har till störst del påverkats av det sätt Primärvården hanterat typiska implementeringsproblem och omvandlat dessa till framgångsfaktorer..

Social sustainability is often regarded as a solution to social problems in general. In this study, on the contrary, social sustainability is conceived as a socially constructed concept and the result of a certain way of looking at the world, the human being and the ideal society. The study centers around Kinda municipality in the southern region of Östergötland and a few of its elder inhabitants. What meaning and substance social sustainability is contained with as well as the effects that are produced by these conceptualizations is explored and analyzed. Also, the study examines the encounter between political policy?s and judgments on the one hand and the experiences and preferences held by the municipality?s elder inhabitants on the other..

Problemformulering: Hur kan destination Söderåsen utvecklas till att bli en attraktiv destination för lokalbefolkning, turister och turismaktörer?Syfte: Syftet med vår fallstudie är att med Söderåsen som objekt och Svalövs kommun som aktör undersöka hur en destination kan utvecklas samt undersöka hur en infrastrukturell satsning kan bidra till utvecklingen.Metod: Vi har valt att arbeta utifrån en fallstudieansats av kvalitativ karaktär där vi ingående studerar ett fåtal undersökningsenheter vilka baseras på både kvalitativa och kvantitativa primär- och sekundärdata. Vi har gjort ett strategiskt urval, eftersom vi är intresserade av att erhålla en djupare förståelse för vårt undersökningsområde istället för att basera det på kvantiteter. Vi har dock kompletterat denna med en enkätundersökning av kvantitativ karaktär för att få insikt om danskars kännedom om vårt studieobjekt. För att göra vår fallstudie reliabel har vi varit noggranna med att se svaren i sin ursprungliga kontext då sammanhanget är viktigt för att minska risken för missuppfattningar.

Green manuring is a way of creating an organic fertilizer by growing a crop that is mowed down. Besides the fertilizing effect this method has been shown to have a positive influ-ence on soil organic matter as well as weed flora, and green manure is an important me-thod of weed control in organic farming in parts of Sweden. However, the release of nu-trients from the green manure varies and can therefore be difficult to control. Risks for losses of nutrients are also present. Although the area of organic farmland is increasing in Sweden, the use of green manure is decreasing.This report contains a literature study which compiles research on the functions of green manure in a cropping system and also how the crop can be used if harvested, for example to produce biogas.

Studies in Sweden have shown that the districtnurses had no time for health promotion. The Swedish government also indicate that there is a lack of health promotion and preventive care in Sweden. The purpose of this study was to describe into which extent the districtnurses in the middle and southwest area of Region Skåne worked with preventive care in their profession and into which extent they documented their achievement. The inquiry was answered by 45 districtnurses about background, present situation, preventive care, secondary prevention, tertiary prevention, health promotion and documentation. Results of this study shows that the districtnurses worked mostly with tertiary prevention.

This thesis aims at determining the heat losses in a property vent stack and its roof valve. Upon request of a company, the vent stack is analysed for possible heat recovering solutions to be implemented, while relining of the drain system is executed and with a suitable payback time for the economic investments. The heat loss calculations are based on data for properties that are located in the Stockholm region, but also easy to change depending on the situation. The calculations are done on pipes made out of cast iron, which still is the most common type of drain pipe in Sweden, and these are the pipes that relining is usually made on. The calculations that needed to take several variables into account have been done in MatlabR2014a and the thermos dynamical properties that were used in those calculations have been extracted from EES.Three different types of heat losses in the vent stack have been taken into consideration in this thesis.

I den moderna byggprocessen ingår många aktörer som alla har individuella intressen att tillgodose. Samverkansentreprenad är ett försök att i projektet skapa gemensamma mål som, ifall de uppnås, medför att även de individuella aktörerna uppnår sina mål. Tanken är att aktörerna skall samverka för att uppnå de gemensamma projektmålen. Detta skapar en miljö med ständigt informationsutbyte som förhoppningsvis leder till ett effektivare genomförande. Samverkansentreprenader har ofta en ganska omfattande ledningsorganisation, vilket medför att den blir resurskrävande.
