Utifrån mitt djupa intresse inför människors beteenden, idéer och upplevelseransåg jag det intressant att studera vilka upplevelsekvalitéer jag kunde identifiera hos deltagare inom kommersiell upplevelseproduktion. Min litteraturstudie visar att människors beteenden har förändrats i och med en ökad välfärd och numera söker många efter ett liv fyllt av mer krävande och äventyrliga friluftsaktiviteter. Ett ökat intresse för naturen och utomhusaktiviteter gör att det idag bedrivs många olika typer av kommersiella klätterproduktioner utomhus som är upplevelseinriktade. Den teoretiska referensramen innehåller tidigare forskning om klättring, samhällsekonomi, sociologi och upplevelsepsykologi. Motivet för detta examensarbete är att med klippklättring som perspektiv skapa en förståelse inför komplexiteten i fenomenet kommersiell upplevelseproduktion.

The challenges facing low voltage grids are rising as an increasing number of domestic houses transition from fossil fueled heating to electricity based heating. Several environmental goals and visions have the same transition from fossil based power to electricity based power in mind for the transportation sector. One of the most important tools for this transformation is widely regarded to be the electric vehicle. With the demands of the electric vehicle pressuring the power grid, several questions arise regarding the growth of the electric vehicle market and what repercussions it may have on the grid. This paper focuses on a typical low voltage grid in southern Sweden and what effects a growing electric vehicle market may have on it. Through computer-assisted simulations based on several future scenarios regarding the EV market, this paper finds that few modifications and reinforcements are needed on this particular grid within the next 10 to 15 years.

This study examines how managers in the public sector experience and manage their digital maturity in the context of digital transformation. The study is based on qualitative interviews with twelve managers and three developers in a municipality in western Sweden and is analyzed based on a theoretical framework that combines individuals digital maturity (DIMI model) with organizational conditions. The results show that managers' digital maturity is influenced by both individual and organizational factors. At the individual level, the importance of digital competence, self-efficacy, and willingness to participate in and lead change are emphasized. At the same time, organizational conditions such as coordination, resources, technical support and clear governance are required.

The purpose of this study in the psychology of religion is to explore the process of an individual?s shift in orienting system, from a religious to an atheistic. The materials used are autobiographical accounts obtained from two books. One that has been used as a primary source and one as a secondary. By using Rambo?s process oriented theory of religious conversion relevant themes and categories were chosen and later subjected to further analysis using Pargament?s theory of religion and coping.

The web as an arena for news reporting and information sharing to consumers has grown for many years in the expense of the traditional newspapers. The revenue stream has however not followed the same transformation which has led to a remarkably lower profit when news and articles are distributed through the web. Banner advertising is a method that is commonly used by online magazines to generate profit where advertisers pay to expose their message. One method to measure banner ads effectivity, and indirectly, what the advertiser would pay, is through Click-Through Rate (CTR), how many clicks a banner ad receives in relation to the amount of banner views. One of the variables that play an important role in the banner ad effectivity is the placement of the banner ad.

While the call for regulations against greenhouse gas emissions are louder then ever before, demand for oil is also at an all time high. Oil companies face the dilemma of making sound business without being perceived as environmental villains. In this essay I will examine how BP, one of the largest companies in the world, broke rank with the industry and devoted itself to being an environmental friendly oil company. The actions and motives of this change will be evaluated through up-to-date theories about company motivation to environmental adaptation. We see that BP:s transformation can be well explained through Simone Pulvers theory about the socially embedded company.

The fast growing economy of India has experienced fundamental structural changes in recentyears. The share of the service sectors output has more than doubled since 1950 and is todayestimated to make up almost 60 percent of India?s total output. In terms of total employmentwe have not yet seen a similar transformation. The observed discrepancy between sectorialshares of employment and output in the service sector raises questions about sustainability.This report aims to investigate the capacity of the Indian service sector in terms ofemployment creation in order to answer the question whether the recent GDP growth withinthe service sector can be considered as ?jobless? or not.

Studien behandlade lärobokens påverkan på elevernas matematikrelaterade uppfattningar. Den empiriska undersökningen genomfördes med kvalitativa halvstrukturerade intervjuer av fyra elever som intervjuades vid två tillfällen, dels år 2004 och dels år 2006. Eleverna gick i år fyra vid första intervjutillfället och i år sex vid andra intervjutillfället. Resultaten ifrån den empiriska studien visade att läroboken inte har förändrat elevernas uppfattning till ämnet matematik. Däremot har läromedlet en stark ställning i matematikundervisningen.

?Dalens Ande? är ett kommunalt konstprojekt i Säter. Enligt den ursprungliga planeringen skulle det pågå under tre somrar. Det ingår i hela Säterdalsprojektet, vilket syftar till att lyfta fram en säregen miljö och natur.Konstutställningen Dalens Ande var redan den första sommaren (1998) mycket uppmärksammad, inte minst i lokalpressen.Efterhand följde den affekterade insändardebatt som lett till den ?etiska vändning? som denna uppsats huvudsakligen avser att belysa och analysera.De tolv berörda konstnärerna har beslutat att avsäga sig vidare samarbete med Säters kommun sedan den insändarskribent som de sett sig kränkande behandlade av utsetts till kommunens kulturpristagare.Här presenteras förutom ett urval av nämnda skriverier även som referenser en kort sammanfattning av Kants sedelära samt övrigt artikelmaterial som behandlar problemställningens delfrågor; yttrandefrihet kontra ärekränkning, pressetik och begreppet ?konstskandal?..

The aim of this paper is to analyse how subject, gender and sexuality is constructed in the book Dårfinkar & dönickar (1984), by Ulf Stark. In relation to this I have also analysed how the main character, Simone, develops from being a child into becoming a teenager.Queertheory is the theoretical basis of this paper. Queer theory questions heteronormativity and aims to dissolve conceptions and notions that function in an excluding and limiting way. Queer theory also questions conceptions that seem obvious and/or natural, for example ?woman?/?man? and ?homo-/heterosexuality?.I have chosen to focus the analysis on a number key events in the book and they are categorised according to Tiina Rosenberg`s three dramaturgic concepts: transformation, unveiling and restoration.

This paper discusses some concerns about Japanese gender identity as a construct and the subversive means to overthrow it. In my paper I claim that the eastern influences on Japan has created a gap between old and new gender- traditions and norms. This interspace is what the philosopher Judith Butler claims as the site for a possible gender transformation. As Butler claims gender identity to be a construct, I use her methods of understanding and subsequently queertheory, to investigate the construct of Japanese gender identity and also the norms that constitute a national identity. As I elaborate on this theory I use specific artworks from Morimura Yasumasa, Yoshiko Shimada and Bubu de la Madeleine and also the all-male theatre kabuki vs.

Focus of this study is an examination of the Swedish school today, its transformation and complexity when also the community outside of school undergoes changes in shape of among other things a different population composition and new political ideas. More specific the aim of the study is to understand how Gustav Adolfsskolan in Landskrona, a compulsory school in south of Sweden, legitimates the language rule that is in effect in the school. It?s a relatively new measure undertaken in the school and both the problems in the school and this measure have been widely discussed in the public media. The theoretical sources of inspiration have come from Weber, Galbraith and Elias and include power relations and dynamics within social mobility when people establishes in new places.

The aim of the report is to develop a new design proposal for an existingsenior high school building in Skärholmens Center, Stockholm. Theschoolhouse is a result of the extensive residential project during theperiod between the years 1965-75 in our large cities peripheral and holdsanonymousand "gray face" that has characterized many houses from thesame era. Over the years, the number of students steadily declined andthe reason lies partly in the school's physical environment which cancertainly be regarded as substandard. This despite the fact that it islocated right next to Sweden´s largest trading block. A thorough analysisof the school building and the ambient area has been made incombination with a continuous dialogue with students and staff at theschool.

Bakgrund och problem: För Sveriges noterade bolag råder en helt annansituation idag än för bara några år sedan. Ökad internationalisering och en deluppmärksammade bolagsskandaler har medfört att bolagen nu har såväl nyaredovisningsstandarder (IFRS och US GAAP) som nya bolagsstyrningsregler(Koden och SOX) att följa. Vilka regler som bolagen tvingas följa beror på var deär noterade. Dessa nya regler berör direkt de olika bolagen men även derasrevisorer indirekt. För denna uppsats har de fyra största revisionsbyråerna ochderas rekrytering och kompetensutveckling undersökts för att se hur dessapåverkats av den nya situationen.Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att med hjälp av en kvalitativ undersökningkartlägga hur rekrytering och kompetensutveckling i revisionsbyråerna ser ut samtanalysera vilka effekter nya redovisningsstandarder och nya regler förbolagsstyrning har haft på dessa.

The purpose of this study is to examine the changes in law and other types of politicialregulation regarding unauthorized absence during the reformation of the Swedish schoolsystem in 2010. How was this ?new? approach on unauthorized absence established; whatmade it possible and which view on ?unauthorized absence? does it implicate? The study hasa discourse analytic approach in which it examines central policy documents regarding thetopic of inquiry. The study has found that the alliance-government?s education policy onunauthorized absence is pervaded by one hegemonic discourse termed the mono-culturaldisciplinary discourse.
