This thesis examines how marketing by secondhand apps affects young adult women's consumption habits, investigating whether these platforms promote or counteract overconsumption. While the secondhand market is considered more sustainable than buying new, these apps may still encourage overconsumption. The study focuses on the marketing strategies of three major secondhand apps in Sweden: Tradera, Sellpy, and Vinted, analyzing their impact on consumer behavior using the AIDA model (Attention, Interest, Desire, Action). Based on qualitative interviews with eleven women aged 20-27 and the authors observations of the apps marketing activities, the study finds that secondhand apps often emphasize environmental benefits and makes secondhand shopping accessible and appealing. However, the marketing tactics used by these apps, including frequent push notifications, targeted advertisements, and influencer collaborations, may lead to increased consumption. Overconsumption causes significant environmental damage, and while the secondhand market can mitigate these effects by extending the lifecycle of items, the emphasis on convenience end environmental benefits can inadvertently encourage more consumption. The study concludes that secondhand apps play a complex role in consumer behavior, balancing the potential for sustainability with the risk of promoting overconsumption.

The world?s consumption is increasing at an accelerating rate and it´s produced and consumed more goods and services than ever before. A large part of people's consumption consists of clothing that is bought and discarded increasingly leading to a number of environmental problems such as global warming, pollution, loss of biodiversity and the depletion of natural assets. One way to save the earth's resources is to buy used clothing, so called second hand, instead of new ones. The store chain ?The Ants? (in Swedish ?Myrorna?) has specializing in second-hand goods and sells, among other things, clothes.

Syftet är att urskilja faktorer som påverkar en svensk konsuments uppfattning om vad som är en underhållande respektive icke-underhållande shoppingupplevelse. Genom att vara explorativa kan vi generera de faktorer som visar på vad det är i shoppingen som kunder uppfattar som underhållande respektive icke-underhållande beståndsdelar i shoppingupplevelsen. Vidare vill vi få en förståelse för hur en underhållande och rolig shoppingupplevelse kan skapas för svenska konsumenter och hur denna kunskap kan användas rent praktiskt ur ett konsumentperspektiv. Den ökade förståelsen medverkar till att vi ska kunna beskriva konsumentens upplevelse. Resultatet av undersökningen blev tolv faktorer som påverkade den underhållande respektive icke-underhållande shoppingupplevelsen.

If one looks at physical planning in Sweden today one can see that while talking about densification of existing development, reduced emissions and careful use of important land, urban sprawl is a fact with development of sheer residential districts in the urban edges and shopping malls in each and every municipality. As sustainable development is an essential goal for physical planning to strive towards, it is worth questioning if the direction of today?s planning will lead to the goal. A sustainable development can be seen as an obvious to goal aim at. In reality the aim means a hard and complex work.

Problem: Företaget AB arbetar med att mäta kundupplevelser inom detaljhandeln och detta med hjälp av Mystery Shopping. Genom statistik påvisar de butikers svaga sidor vilka Företaget AB:s kunder sedan förväntas arbeta vidare med. Det har dock framkommit att detta är mycket svårt och många butiker har problem med att förbättra sina mätresultat. Företaget AB har som en reaktion på detta påbörjat en tjänsteutveckling i vilken de tar fram verktyg som skall underlätta butikernas arbete med att förbättra butikspersonalens förmåga att förmedla service i kundmötet.   Syfte: Att ta fram koncept kring verktyg vilka skall vara vägledande i lärande och kompetensutveckling för butikschefer samt butikspersonal inom detaljhandeln. Metod: I kommande studie används en kvalitativ ansats där datainsamlingsmetoderna består utav intervjuer samt reflektionsformulär.Slutsats: Under studien framkom att det bör finnas en balans mellan hårda värden i form av hård kunskap och mjuka värden vilka bygger på känslomässiga aspekter.

Since the spring 2003 the tenant-owner home association the Terrace in Upplands Väsby municipality lies straight under the approach route to Arlanda Airport?s new third landing chute. Noise levels of over 70 dB have been measured in the area, which exceeds National Board of Housing?s, values for traffic noise at a terrace in connection to housing. By using the method of hedonisk pricing the essay tries to find out if there exists a willingness to pay to reduce the noise in the area.

In order to stay competitive and to be the first choice for customers in a world driven by a high level of competitive advantage, it is important for companies to stay ahead of the competition by conducting thorough market research. Even if this tends to be the case, many products still fail when reaching the market, leaving companies with great losses. The reason for this could be that the development of existing research methods has stagnated, or that they simply lack the ability to find the true answer as to what intentions underlie consumer?s decision making when shopping. Many believe that a new method is desired in order to get a better picture of what customers really think.

Several cities have implemented various projects to improve traffic safety in city centers.During 1970s and 1980s the city centers changed as the suburbs grew and large shopping centers were located outside the center. At the same time, several projects were initiated with construction of pedestrian streets and restriction of traffic in the center. In year 1994,shared-used areas were introduced in Sweden and these areas are often used in center environments.In Sweden, municipalities are responsible for integrating security in public places and in comprehensive plans and detailed development plans. The National Board of Housing,Building and Planning is the authority for administrating planning issues and develop general guidance about planning. Traffic is one of their key issues, although today there are no concrete guidelines from the National Board of Housing, Building and Planningfor the design of traffic safety in city centers.Traffic safety in city centers affects many people because the city center is a public place.It is therefore important that there are current guidelines available that are helpful for changes and improvements in traffic safety in the city center.The purpose of this report is to formulate guidelines for planning city centers from a traffic safety perspective.

Internet's entry into our home has changed our communication capabilities. As a result more and more services in the digital world are available. Besides e.g. shopping, gaming and general information, different social networks now offer preventive and therapeutic health-oriented services. When being asked by several young people, with whom I have been working in a clinical setting, to offer conversations over the Internet that enables both to see and to hear each other in real time, I decided to conduct a pilot study which is presented in this paper. The aim was to investigate the feasibility of offering supportive therapy using video calls over the Internet.

Sverige består av ungefär 23 miljoner hektar av produktiv skogsmark. Detta innebär att drygt 50 % av landarealen utgörs av skogsmark. Den produktiva skogsmarken är uppdelad mellan olika ägarkategorier, där fysisk person (enskilda ägare) äger 50 % och juridisk person, såsom staten, aktiebolag, ekonomiska föreningar och dylikt, äger övriga 50 % av skogsmarken. Denna fördelning av skogsmarken mellan olika ägarkategorier tros inverka på den skogliga fastighetsmarknaden och en prisdifferens beroende på om fastigheten säljs av juridisk eller fysisk person antas existera. Anledningen till differensen tros bero på bland annat lagstiftning, skötsel och ekonomiska aspekter såsom utbud och efterfrågan på marknaden. Studiens huvudsyfte var att analysera hur faktorn ägarkategori, där säljaren av skogsfastigheterna delades upp i juridisk person och fysisk person, påverkade skogsfastigheternas köpeskilling.

The purpose of this essay is to examine if the municipality has a real freedom of action to control the use of the land and the shaping of the buildings in a large and prestigious building project.In Karlstad there is now (2006) a large building project in form of a shopping mall. This project is in its final stage of completion and offers me a suitable case to examine. To undertake the purpose of the essay, the following research question is formulated:Do the municipality have a real freedom of action to control the use of the land and the shaping of the buildings in a large and prestigious building project as the Mitt I City project?In an attempt to examine the project and the planning process, three themes are applied. The first theme derives from the hypothesis that the part that initiate the process gets the upper hand as future discussions are taking place in relation to the original ideas.

When patrolling grocery stores, customers engage in a purchase situation where they face great amounts of information, whereof price is one. This paper intends to shed light on the price information search behavior that customer's exhibit before choosing their products in grocery stores. In order to do so two studies have been conducted, one quantitative and one qualitative, to assemble the data needed to provide statistically significant results. The objective of the quantitative study is to gather data on customer's external price information search, and it is based on the most recent eye-tracking technology. The second qualitative study is complementary and based on interviews with randomly chosen customers that have responded to several questions regarding their price information search, shopping knowledge and experiences.
