Food-poisoning is a major health problem and an estimated half a million Swedes are food-poisoned annually, with acute gastroenteritis as a consequence. One of the major causes of contaminated foods is related to food- and waterborne viruses. To be able to trace back the source of contaminant, the method of detecting viruses must be specific and sensitive. No standardized method for detecting foods for sapovirus exists today. The aim of the work described in this bachelor thesis is to implement and opti-mize a real-time RT-PCR method for the detection of all genogroups of human sapovirus in foods.

The essay aimed to investigate whether people choose light products or original products regarding dairy products and beverages as well as the motives for their respective choice.

Although Sweden is considered to be in the lead concerning an open-minded perception of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) population, very little attention has been given to the elderly within this target group. The elder LGBT population?s got special needs that haven?t been made sufficiently visible, neither as a research field, from social institutions nor from the LGBT movement itself. This study has described the target group's specific needs, based on the results of a focus group consisting of older LGBT people. Their experiences and stories have given an idea of what adjustments must be made to satisfy their specific needs.

The aim of the study was to look at a particular work group of housing supporters, whomhave implemented two special working methods in their work. The methods have been implemented by two of the housing supporters that also have special education in the methodsSOC (Sense of Coherence) and solution focused brief therapy. The study is based on anethnographic observation and analysis of documents that are used in the implementation. To analyse the information that was given at the observation and in the document I´ve used a theory which illustrates the significance of developing professions so their knowledge become legitimate. I´ve also used a theory that illustrates the importance of implementation and how it´s done at its best.

Problem: En allt mer föränderlig bransch, karakteriserat av internationella aktörer och stärkt handelsled har resulterat i att varumärket har fått utökad strategisk betydelse. Vi vill utifrån denna bakgrund besvara tre frågor:Hur påverkar de enskilda varumärkenas styrka portföljens slagkraftighet? Hur driver Procordia Food sin varumärkesportfölj på strategisk nivå? Kan denna portfölj optimeras? Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är att identifiera de enskilda varumärkenas påverkan på varumärkesportföljen samt att bidra till ökad förståelse för portföljens betydelse för företaget och i förhållande till dess omvärld. Detta vill vi göra genom att analysera hur ett konsumentvaruföretag, i detta fall Procordia Food, driver dess varumärkesportfölj på en strategisk nivå. Metod: Vi har valt att använda fallstudien som metod.
