Today it is mandatory for every college or university student to pay a union fee to their student?s union. The fee is mandatory and is a payment for writing examinations, receiving grades. The fees purpose is also intended to secure the education quality and student influence. In the presence of the abolishment of the union fee the Swedish student?s unions stand before an uprising competition between themselves and most likely a decrease in membership.

Konkurrensen mellan regioner har triggat det varumärkesbyggande som idag är en stor del av många regioners utvecklingsarbete.Turismen och resandet ökar konstant. Även det allmänna intresset för hållbar utveckling och ett mer utbrett miljöarbete tar fart. Tillsammans ses hållbar turism och ekoturism som de viktigaste faktorerna i framtidens resande. Lockandet av just turism med hjälp av destinationsutveckling blir ofta en förlängning av ett varumärkesbyggande för en region.Halmstad är Sveriges 18:e största kommun med cirka 93 000 invånare. Stränderna och sommaren har gjort staden till en stor allmänt känd turistort.

KinBag AB är ett svenskt företag som tillverkar golfbagen KinBag. Den första bagen tillverkades 1981 och bagen har sedan dess sett likadan ut. Det som är unikt med KinBagen är att den integrerar bag och vagn. Detta examensarbetes mål har varit att förbättra KinBagen med avseende på ergonomi och design. Resultatet är ett konceptförslag på hur en vidareutvecklad KinBag kan se ut.

The overall aim was to examine how the public interest to protect children from violence and sexual abuse at home, is realized by social workers. The study´s central focus was the risk assessments as Social services are obliged to do when they receive a report containing concern that children are being exposed to violence or sexual abuse at home. The study addresses the following questions:o How do social workers go about practically, and what support and knowledge is being used to determine whether the Social services need to intervene for the protection of a child?o What risk and protective factors are taken into account by social workers in the assessment process?o What contextual factors do social workers experience are affecting them in the assessment process?o Which support does the documentation system BBIC provide in the assessment process?The study material was collected through qualitative group interviews, with a modified vignette methodology as tools. The study included a total of twelve social workers, with varying numbers in each interview group.

LRF Konsult is a big consulting-firm with offices located all over Sweden. The corporation offers a wide range of services and a lot of the customers are small businesses active within the green sector. An analysis of the corporation made in 2006 showed that one of LRF Konsults weaknesses is that many customers are unaware of the wide range of services that LRF Konsult offers. The internal communication is believed to play a big role in marketing these services. Therefor, the objective of this thesis has been to investigate why the transfer of customers between accounting consultants and business advisors is not greater and how this can be improved.

The basic view on children has change radically in the swedish society during the last century. From beeing seen as ruled by internal evil powers that only church could help controling later on the children should be brought up as citizen well-behaved and capable of work with help of the state's control. Today we see the child as competent and equal, and through Swedens adoption of the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child in year 1990, Sweden as a country undertakes itself to always see to the child´s greatest in all decision-making process concerning the child and also vouch for that the rights stated in the convention are beeing fulfild.Working with the convention in a such way that it's intention becomes reality in educational activities requires instruments for the pedagogues. During the years between 1980 and 1990 a number of different methods and programmes were developed with staring-points in the interplay between the child and the adult.

This final thesis is initiated by the wood fuel department at the Swedish forest company Sveaskog as part of a project which also involves two other final thesises. The overall goal of the project is to investigate Sveaskog´s possibilities to produce and sell different wood fuel assortments in Västerbotten and the southern parts of Norrland. The aim of this thesis is to investigate how much wood fuel Sveaskog can produce in the area during the next five years and what that would cost. Furthermore the thesis will investigate the total possible supply of wood fuel from all other possible producers in the area. Treated assortments are forest residues from final fellings, whole trees from direct wood fuel thinnings, non industrial wood and industrial by-products from sawmills. The main effort to investigate Sveaskog´s production possibilities has been made to calculate the possible annual amount of forest residues and fuel from wood fuel thinnings that can be produced.

Rapid urbanisation is putting strains on both the landscape and the city dwellers and the pressure on planning for sustainable and equitable cities is crucial. As many cities in Sub-Saharan Africa are expanding, city planning has trouble keeping up to meet the needs of the growing amount of urban dwellers. Many cities have also been planned with the cars in focus and the needs and comfort of the pedestrians have been overlooked. The capacity of institutions is limited due to centralized government and bureaucracy, as well as corruption. Planning is erratically implemented and it is difficult to know what will happen.

I den aktuella kommun där studien genomförts har stora satsningar gjorts på att fortbilda vårdpersonal i demensvård under många år. Trots detta har det visat sig att det finns svårigheter för vårdarna att omsätta kunskaperna i det vardagliga arbetet. Under 2005-2008 pågår Kompetensstegen, en stor nationell satsning för att förbättra vården och omsorgens inre kvalitet i äldreomsorgen. Jag ville därför med mitt examensarbete undersöka effekterna av en så stor utbildningssatsning. Syftet var att undersöka vårdpersonalens uppfattningar av lärandet och de nya kunskaper som de fått genom Kompetensstegens demensutbildningar och vilka möjligheter eller hinder som finns för ett fortsatt lärande efter utbildningen.

Detta examensarbete har utförts på Saab Support and Services i Arboga. Syftet med examensarbetet har varit att ta fram en modell i Matlab som skall beräkna antal motorbyten, och hur många stora motortillsyner (Check 3) det kommer att bli. Detta skall utföras för att få en så kostnadseffektiv drift som möjligt fram till valt slutscenario, med 40 SK60 det vill säga 80 stycken RM15 motorer i drift. De scenarion som har påverkat projektet har varit 2014 VT, 2017 VT samt 2020 VT. Projektet har delats upp i två moment, där det ena har varit att skapa en databas i Excel för alla motorer och det andra är ett program i Matlab som skall bearbeta all data från Excel, för att på så sätt kunna få ut det mest optimala tillvägagångssättet.Det som vi har kommit fram till är att scenario 2014 VT kommer att uppnås med de aktuella motorer som finns tillgängliga idag utan att någon motor skickas iväg på Check 3.

This master thesis explores the nature of public participation as a central and most current subject in the field of urban planning. A first impression exposes a seemingly unanalyzed consensus on the values and benefits which public participation provides the process of urban planning. The city may be a concern to all its inhabitants; hence knowledge and opinions of the local public are of great importance for the urban development. But is there really something new to these assumptions, and are the advantages of increased public participation in urban planning always obvious?  By using action research as a main method, I have put myself into the context of the Swedish municipality of Nacka and their projects dealing with the development of public participation.

Society?s interest for environmental issues was reinforced in the 1960:s when the book by Rachel Carson, ?Silent Spring?, came out. She described a picture of a world without birds singing and this got the environmental debate going. Today, this debate has reached the corporate world since stakeholders are putting pressure on companies to show greater environmental awareness. Many companies show uncertainty when they are faced with these new market demands.

I slutet av oktober avgörs allsvenskan, tillika svenska mästerskapen i fotboll. Vid den här tiden på året brukar planerna oftast vara mer bruna än gröna. Även under perioder av mycket regn får matcher ställas in på grund av att planen är ospelbar. Det finns idag ingen regional utbildning för planskötare, men kan man med rätt utbildning för dem som är planskötare öka kvalitén på planerna? Arbetet är gjort i samarbete med Svenska fotbollsförbundet (SvFF) som har intresse i att undersöka hur utbildningsnivån är och vilka kunskaper som saknas bland planskötarna idag.

På dagens tjänstemarknad råder hård konkurrens. Inom bilservicebranschen har fokus tidigare endast varit på bilen men har nu skiftat till ett mer kundinriktat fokus. Bilservicebranschen har svårt att leverera vad som utlovas och flera oberoende tester visar på fusk under bilservicen, kunderna får därmed inte vad de betalar för. Det kombinerat med att bilarna blir mer tekniska och att kunder överlag saknar kompetens och har lite insyn i det arbete som utförs på verkstäderna skapar en problematik. Problematiken ligger i att bristen på transparens och kunskap gör det svårt för kunderna att bedöma om den utförda bilservicen är av hög kvalitet.
