This research explains and describes the role music notations may play in an unconventional way. The aim of this research is to show that by balancing composition, interpretation and improvisation, the performer(s) could produce or open the door to a reservoir of new sounds, which could emerge through a composer?s awareness of the need to balance these elements. That act of balancing depends on the musician?s interpretation through their interaction with the music notation, with their action process on the instrument and each other.

Att en destination utstrålar en stark och positiv image har blivit en viktig faktor för att attrahera turister. En negativ global image av en destination kan bidra till en minskad turism. I denna studie söks en förståelse för hur Amsterdams image påverkas av sex- och drogturismen i staden. Teorier som bemöter primära och sekundära turistattraktioner, sökandet efter nöjes/meningsfulla upplevelser och image segmentering har satts i relation med insamlat empiriskt material hämtat från två enkätundersökningar samt tre semi-strukturerade intervjuer. Studiens analys visar att sex- och drogturismen genererar både en positiv och negativ image för Amsterdam i koppling till vad som är moraliskt riktigt.

The official Swedish interpretation of the concept of citizenship is based on the social-liberal concept of citizenship. According to feminist critique, this interpretation of the concept contains male norms that lead to the exclusion of several groups from full citizenship. There is also a corresponding feminist critique which holds that in the womens´ movement and gender research there are strong norms as well, especially in the form of ethnocentrism. Also, the image of immigrant women in public debate is being questioned and the critics here raise the question of the responsibility of the society for integration. Swedish research on citizenship has focused very little on the situation of immigrant women, and this essay aims at helping to fill this empirical gap.

Syftet med denna uppsats var att belysa förhållandet mellan image och tjänstekvalitet inom försäkrings-branschen. För att kunna besvara vårt syfte studerade vi skillnaden mellan förväntad och upplevd tjänst. Vi studerade även i vilken utsträckning olika faktorer påverkar den upplevda kvaliteten av en tjänst, samt vilket inflytande image har på kunden vid köp av tjänst. En enkätundersökning gjordes bland ett försäkringsbolags kunder, där vi undersökte SERVQUALS sex dimensioner samt imagens påverkan. Vår empiriska undersökning visade att det fanns en klar koppling mellan image och tjänstekvalitet.

Slutsatsen efter genomfört arbetet är att Örebro Bostäder AB bland annat har en önskvärd image av Vivalla som ett område med en unik och personlig omgivning med mindre individuella bostadsområden där det finns något för alla smaker.

Vidare har undersökningen visat att dessa önskvärda imager främst förmedlas via mun till mun-metoden, massmedia, samhälleliga åtgärder och events..
