The purpose of this thesis is to outline an appropriate model in order for companies to successfully act and compete physically as wholesalers at the same time as acting on the virtual market by selling directly to the end consumer. The approach of this thesis is hermeneutical and abductive with elements of hypothetically deductive approach. Our research has a qualitative research strategy based on case studies and interviews as well as on secondary data. Interviews were conducted with the case company JaymJay Wear AB as well as with other companies, so called mini cases. The secondary data consists mainly of textbooks, web sites and journals.

AbstractThis study examines factors in school that could contribute to or counteract the experience of inclusion of persons who have been diagnosed in the field of autism spectrum disorder. The information was gathered through qualitative interviews and processed to be presented in the results.The results show that respondents found it difficult to concentrate when in school because of the environment. They experienced no coherence in learning situations, they may not get answer as to why information should be carried out and saw no point to have breaks. Furthermore, they experienced no problems to orientate in school or to follow the schedule. The results also revealed that the respondents had at least one teacher with whom they felt that the relationship was positive.

In this essay I evaluate the legality of Karl Popper?s criticism against psychoanalysis, regarding this theory of Freud?s being pseudoscientific. Popper?s criticism is based on his theory of demarcation in which he states that an empirical theory must be possible to test by observations in order to be, as most important is, hypothetically possible to falsify based on other empirical statements ? often in the form of new found facts that contradict the original statement/theory. In purpose of assessing Popper?s criticism I perform a modified idea analysis, based on a book by Evert Vedung (1977).

The global Positioning System (GPS) provides location and time information as long as there are unobstructed lines of sight to four or more GPS satellites. However, when this is not the case the signal may be inaccurate or sometimes even completely blocked. In these situations the Inertial Navigation System (INS) is an appropriate choice for positioning.  An INS has already been proposed in a previous thesis by Erik Andersson and the objective of this thesis is to fuse the GPS with the INS in a proper way. A part of this project is to decide the reliability of the GPS.Three methods for GPS reliability detection have been proposed. One method based on the statistical properties of each of the separate systems, and two methods based on the statistical properties of the residuals between the GPS and INS.

Information handling has been a key issue for different companies for a long time. Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is used to transfer different business documents from one company to another. This is done in such way that the information itself is separated from how this information is stored and handled in the companies internal systems. As different companies have different systems there is a need for a standardised format for this exchange. There is a big difference between EDI-systems based on what kind of EDI-standard is used.

The information technology development that has occurred over the past decade has broughtmajor changes into people?s lives. We have gotten used to being constantly connected to theInternet and always having access to information through mobile technology. This has led tochanges in education and more and more courses have become available through Internet. Theseweb-based educations are nowadays very common in schools and in the business world as theyprovide increased flexibility for the user.Habiliteringen Lundbystrand has seen the potential in this kind of education and believes this isan opportunity for them to rationalize their work by replacing parts of their education for parentswith a web-based education.

Sponsring a?r ett marknadsföringsverktyg som anva?nds av företag fo?r att skapa konkurrensfördelar samt för att nå en specifik målgrupp. Vi möts dagligen av sponsring i olika former och vi tar till oss denna typ av marknadsföring beroende på våra intressen och vår livsstil. På senare år har sociala medier exploderat lavinartat och gett företag ytterligare en möjlighet att kommunicera med konsumenterna. Även kända extremsportare finns idag representerade i sociala medier där de kommunicerar med sina fans genom att visa upp sig själva och företag de är sponsrade av.

This paper deals primarily with the developmental potential and use of court -based mediation in Swedish law, and its relation to court-based conciliation and the judicial procedure as means to end a conflict.  In Chapter 42, Section 17 of the Swedish Code of Judicial Procedure, a judge, before the parties have their main hearing, can act as a mediator between the parties to settle the dispute. The judge should, according to the law, always try to make the parties come to an agreement before the main hearing. This obligation can be fulfilled either through the use of court-based conciliation, or court based mediation. Mediation as such is rarely used in Sweden, and one of the goals of this essay is to try to provide a tentative answer to why that might be the case.  The second goal is to try to find a consistent, yet flexible notion, of the concept of ?jurisdiction?, and to provide an explanation for the relation between mediation as an alternative method for dispute resolution and the judicial procedure.                                                                                                                                            .

Titel: Kommun i aktion via kommunikation ? en studie om Vara kommuns profil och imageFörfattare: Sophia Drejenstam och Susanna OdinKurs: Examensarbete i medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap, Göteborgs Universitet.Termin: Höstterminen 2012Handledare: Marie GrusellAntal ord: 19 968Syfte: Att beskriva vilken uppfattning nyinflyttade till Vara kommun har om kommunen samt förklara varför uppfattningarna ser ut som de gör.Metod: Kvalitativa samtalsintervjuer.Material: Studien bygger på sex stycken intervjuer av respondentkaraktär.Huvudresultat: Individens uppfattning om Vara kommun (innan, under och efter flytten) beror på i vilken fas av flytten som individen befinner sig. Beroende på i vilken fas i flytten individen befinner sig får också individuella förklaringsfaktorer, såsom individens sociala förutsättningar, individens samhällssyn och individens medieanvändning, genomslag för individens uppfattningar om kommunen. De nyinflyttade till Vara kommun uppfattar olika aspekter av Vara kommun på ett positivt eller negativt sätt. Studiens huvudresultat inbegriper också att det finns en diskrepans mellan Vara kommuns profil och den image som de nyinflyttade har av kommunen, framförallt vad gäller kommunens satsning på entreprenörskap..

In 2010 Swedish political parties used commercials broadcasted on TV for the first time in order to gain votes in a general election. In connection with the election the parties were criticized for not succeeding to formulate a story to the voters that conveyed how they wanted to change Sweden. In this paper I use central concepts from rhetoric, storytelling, postmodernism and psychology to formulate three demands each on the narrator, the story and its reception. Using the resulting image of what distinguishes a good narrator, a good story and a good reception as a starting point, I investigate to what extent the critique was justified. My findings indicate that the degree to which the commercials fulfill these demands vary greatly.

In this study I?ve used qualitative interviews to examine four male preschool teachers? interpretations of gender and their work with gender in preschool. Specifically, I?ve been interested in what thoughts male teachers have about the preschool gender assignment, how they express these thoughts in their work, and how they perceive their role as men in preschool in relation to gender and gender equality. The teachers express that the preschool gender assignment means that one should treat girls and boys equally and give them the same opportunities.

Syfte: Arbetet syftar till att undersöka Försäkringskassans imagearbete och hur de arbetar med att skapa en image som rättvist avspeglar den nya identiteten ?Den Nya Försäkringskassan?.Metod: Vi utgår ifrån ett hermeneutiskt tolkande perspektiv för att skapa djupare förståelse i det som undersöks. Detta kombineras med en abduktiv ansats vid alstringen av kunskap där vi väger teori och empiri lika tungt, samt skapar dessa med hänsyn till varandra. Datainsamlingen består av både kvantitativa och kvalitativa insamlingsmetoder så som primärdata i form av semistruktureradeintervjuer och en enkätundersökning. Sekundärdata genom årsredovisning och budgetunderlag.

Destination marketing looks different from that of traditional marketing, since the product, in this case the destination, consists of several different parts compared to a good. A destination is marketed as a process where the consumption takes place at the same time as the production. Destination marketing organizations, DMO?s, are responsible for the marketing of a destination. Since destinations consist of several parts such as the train trip to the destination, restaurant visits, shopping, hotel stays etc., it is difficult for the DMO?s to fully control how a tourist perceive the destination.

IKEA har under hela sin verksamhetstid befunnit sig i den strategiska position som benämnes hybrid, men har på senare tid tack vare ett förbättrat produktsortiment förflyttat sig närmare en differentieringsposition. Det har i sin tur medfört en höjd image som gjort att kunderna nu kräver mer service av IKEA Helsingborgs personal, en begäran som inte tillgodoses. Servicemötet ? interaktionen mellan frontpersonal och kund ? på IKEA Helsingborg har således kvalitetsproblem och fungerar inte tillfredsställande för vare sig kund, personal eller ledning. Uppsatsens primära syfte är att undersöka vilka ledningsåtgärder som behövs för att nå god kvalitet på servicemötet på IKEA: s varuhus i Helsingborg.

The purpose of this paper was to carry out and evaluate a pedagogic ICT-project, where the computer was implemented in art class. Focus was on the consequences of collaboration and also on the students? understanding of their own performance, compared to techniques in traditional art class.The study was qualitative and began with studies in literature. The contents of the literature are the foundation of the discussion, especially theories concerning the learning process, IT and computer-based learning. In the project, three different groups of students from upper secondary school attended and they where given tasks to solve in the image editing program Paint Shop Pro.
