Syftet med denna studie är att dels undersöka hur små turismaktörer som Stockholm Ghost Walk, Icebar samt Takvandring Sverige arbetar med sin marknadsföring. Dels undersöks även om och hur dessa aktörer samarbetar med Stockholm Visitors Board (SVB) i marknadsföringsfrågor.I denna studie har kvalitativ metod tillämpats, där intervjuer med en representant från respektive företag och innehållsanalyser av deras webbkanaler har genomförts. Den teoretiska utgångspunkten är till stor del hämtad ur Jörgen Elbes samt Yvonne von Friedrich Grängsjös avhandlingar om destinationsmarknadsmarknadsföring genom samarbete. Empirin visar att de tre aktörerna generellt har uppfattningen att de sköter sin marknadsföring själva och att SVB endast samarbetar med Stockholms största aktörer. Denna uppfattning delas med SVB.

Fiskeby Board AB har investerat i ett nytt anaerobt reningssteg som ska minska företagets utsläpp och som en positiv bieffekt producera biogas. Syftet med arbetet är att presentera åtgärdsförslag som kan förbättra kvalitén på Fiskebys processavloppsvatten då det ska användas som inflöde till det nya anaeroba reningssteget vars krav processavloppsvattnet inte uppfyller idag. Åtgärdsförslagen ska medföra en ökad temperatur på Fiskebys processavloppsvatten samt en minskad mängd suspenderade ämnen i processavloppsvattnet. För att åstadkomma dessa åtgärdsförslag har mätningar, beräkningar, intervjuer och diskussioner med personal, en litteraturstudie, kartläggning av Fiskebys vatten etc. genomförts.

Law and regulations regulate the auditors? independence. An auditor should not only be independent in general, but independence in fact and independence in appearance. However, the regulations do not specifically describe how to act independence. It is the concerns of the auditor were he puts his limit for the independence.

The purpose of this Master?s thesis is to investigate the female reader of science fiction literature, a genre by tradition dominated by men. Through qualitative interviews with seven female science fiction readers, the relation between the reading and the readers? lives, as well as their concepts of the science fiction genre and the community of science fiction readers, was examined. The main theoretical framework used for the analysis was Yvonne Hirdman?s gender theory, Judith Butler?s concept of identity and Louise M.

With the advent of powerful multimedia capable mobile phones, the market for mobile services is flourishing. Zenterio AB's Halfpipe Active Desktop is a complete distributed mobile service platform a with a powerful server and platform-independent client. The communication between the client and server takes place over a GPRS-capable mobile network. The purpose of this thesis is to develop a secure communications protocol for use between the Halfpipe Active Desktop client and server. This is done by determining requirements, analyzing candidate protocols and then by designing the final protocol.

The development of IT systems is usually accomplished by some form of system development methodology. It can be performed as the waterfall method, where each phase is completed before the next begins. One of the reasons to follow a development methodology is that the process is more structured, faster and that the product will have higher quality. One risk of not using a system development approach is that the code can be unstructured and difficult to maintain.This paper describes an alternative method in which the development occurred without the use of any system development methodology. This has been possible because there was a clear goal of the program that should be developed.

The purpose of this thesis was to investigate whether publiclibraries language cafés can support or enable the empowerment of the participants. Empowerment means that the individuals ability to take control of their own lives is strengthened and that the individual becomes more independent. Empowerment also means that the individual takes part in a community. An important part of this is the language. I have developed two research questions: What forms of empowerment can be seen in the respondents' statements? What role do language cafés play for people from other countries, in terms of empowerment? The thesis empirical material consists of interviews whit five people involved in different languages cafes in public libraries in the city of Malmö.

Already in 1988, different levels of participation in the election between different districts of big cities in Sweden were noticed. The problem with low political participation in specific areas has almost always been theoretically explained through an individual perspective. This study is therefore focusing on the problem from a contextual perspective. The hypothesis for the study is as follows, in the case of Malmö the level of participation in elections are affected by social environment in which segregation will be the single highest factor. The dependent variable, participation in the election was tested by the independent variables representing social environment; origin, education, gainfully employed and income.

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).

This thesis investigates the relationship between economic growth and self-reported happiness in 45 European countries during the periods of 2011 and 2014-2022. In addition to economic growth, the effects of factors such as unemployment, health, and equality are also analyzed. Data has been collected from the World Bank and Our World in Data. To analyze these relationships, a fixed effects regression analysis and clustering are used, supplemented by tests for multicollinearity and scatter plots. The results of the study indicate that economic growth has no significant effect on happiness when our control variables are included in the analysis.

Detta arbete har fokuserat på spelarens uppfattning av estetiska moddar utifrån Mieke Bals taxonomi.Först beskrivdes den teoretiska grunden genom att förklara koncepten modd, Mieke Bals taxonomi, intertextualitet samt problematiken med Bal applicerat på visuella medier. Arbetets frågeställning sammanfattades som: hur förändras uppfattningen av ett spelnarrativ utifrån enbart estetiska förändringar och intertextualitet?För att besvara frågeställningen skapades en artefakt gjord under praktik på Double Zero One Zero baserat på deras spel The Westport Independent som ersatte representationen av karaktärerna med karaktärer från My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Därefter fick fem personer läsa artefakten och intervjuades enligt en semistrukturerad metod för att analysera deras uppfattningar.Resultatet visade på att även om Respondenten hävdade att detta var samma narrativ förändrades uppfattningen om den estetiska genren och karaktärerna. Därtill kunde det konstateras att deltagarna upplevde en annan tolkning av texten..

This report describes the development of a sample loader for my diploma work at Q-linea AB in Uppsala. The sample loader will replace the process of loading fluid samples into Q-linea?s instrument for biomolecule analysis. The earlier process was done by hand and was a time consuming and inefficient task.The work was initiated with a design phase where an overview of the system was created. The sample loader will be receiving text commands from a PC that coordinates all the subsystems like pumps and lasers on the analysis instrument.

Semi-natural grasslands are threatened biotopes in the landscape and without conservation measures high values of nature will be lost. Meanwhile, the biological values associated with cultural values of the traditional agricultural landscape in Sweden. Studies of land use history may help to understand how today biological diversity has evolved and how it can be preserved. Färsna farm in Norrtälje has left some of the old heritage of biological diversity in the form of nature - forest and grassland, which hosts an unusual herb-rich flora. Through the study of historic maps and från1673/1767/1801/1901 1952 and orthophoto of the area has a picture of how land use has changed over time emerged.

Fiskeby Board tillverkar returfiberbaserad kartong som oftast används till livsmedelsprodukter. Fiskeby producerar mot kundorder. När en order är färdigproducerad så lagras den i väntan på att kunden ska avropa delar av ordern. Korta leveranstider är en av de viktigaste faktorerna för att lyckas i kartongbranschen.På senare år har marknaden för livsmedelstillverkning flyttats från norden, söder ut, till och omkring Tyskland. Detta faktum har gjort att avståndet från Fiskebys produktionsanläggning till deras kunder har ökat vilket har lett till ökade leveranstider.Uppgiften med examensarbetet var dels att som oberoende part, hitta ett nytt logistiskt upplägg som innebar kortare leveranstider och högre leveransservice och dels att göra en totalkostnadsanalys över företagets logistiska verksamhet för att underlätta för Fiskebys fortsatta arbete.Det enda sättet att minska leveranstiden är att minska avståndet mellan produkterna och marknaden och därför togs beslutet att gå vidare med att hitta en strategisk lagerpunkt.För att hitta en strategisk lagerpunkt gjordes flera olika tyngdpunktsberäkningar där varje analys tog hänsyn till en eller flera faktorer så som efterfrågan, vinstmarginal, geografisk belägenhet och kundrelation.

With this master thesis we wanted to find out in which way the concept of public service is connected to different perspectives, ideals, visions of the future and forms of organizations. The purpose with our thesis was to do an analysis of different concepts regarding to public service. To the analysis of concepts we used Swedish newspapers and analysed the issue of public service that had been discussed in articles written during the last five years. From this material and other papers about public service we developed a model of public service ideals. We wanted to find out what the different perspectives thought about the Swedish television and their commission.
