Bakgrund: Mycket av företagens potentiella vinster uteblir på grund av dålig koppling mellan strategi och prestation samt på grund av dåliga system för prestationsmätningar. Ett företag av Nelson Gardens storlek skulle kunna tjäna avsevärt mycket mer om strategiernas implementering mäts på ett lämpligt sätt.Syfte: Att designa ett lämpligt prestationsmätningssystem för fallföretaget och däri integrera deras nuvarande system för ständiga förbättringar.Avgränsningar: Studien är avgränsad från att beskriva fallföretagets nuvarande strategier och nyckeltal i detalj samt från implementeringen av färdigt prestationsmätningssystem.Metod: Studien har genomförts som en fallstudie där lämplig teori har legat till grund för empiriinsamling som i sin tur har möjliggjort en analys.Slutsats: Utifrån företagets vision har strategiska målsättningar, framgångsfaktorer och nyckeltal presenterats. Tillsammans utgör dessa ett komplett Balanced Scorecard där särskilt fokus på kausala samband finns. Därutöver har en passande plats för företagets system för ständiga förbättringar identifierats i det designade prestationsmätningssystemet..

The classic view of trout (Salmo trutta) life history is that trout begins its life in freshwater, migrates to the ocean after about 1-4 years and then returns to freshwater to spawn. As trout fry have been caught at the mouth of the River Emån, near the Baltic Sea, researchers have speculated that some trout emigrate during their first year of life. The purpose of this study was to describe the variation in the length of time trout reside in freshwater before they migrate to the ocean for the first time. Another purpose was to investigate whether it was possible to discern where and how long the fish spent in freshwater and saltwater during different parts of their lives. Between 2007 and 2009, 23 adult trout were captured in the River Emån in southeastern Sweden.

The following thesis is a study of the forest history on the island of Ängsön-Marskär concentrating on the last three hundred years. The island is located in the administrative province of Stockholm, the local community of Haninge and it is situated approximately seven kilometres east of the island Ornö in the south of the Stockholm archipelago.

The essay has its beginning in the source material that deal with ancient Norse religion before the people in the Nordic countries became Christian. The fact that there are no contemporary written or authentic sources available that can tell us something about the Norse religion during the Viking age is problematic. Archeological source materials is available, but tend to talk more about power relationships and social status than the old Norse religion and the way people practiced their faith. Medieval Christian writers are a source of knowledge of the Norse religion; however, they can only highlight the Norse religion from a Christian point of view and ways of evaluating the pagan faith, making them less reliable.The written sources of this paper are based on the written by two medieval Christian writers, Saxo Grammaticus and Snorri Sturluson. These sources are among the first to treat the Norse religion process after the introduction of Christianity in Scandinavia.
