Bakgrund:I dagens hårdnande globala konkurrens där många arbetstillfällen inom den traditionellaproduktionsindustrin flyttar till låglöneländer, ser många bedömare tjänstesektorn som vårnya stora tillväxtmotor. Turistintensiva branscher som hotell och restaurang, bedöms av SCBatt få en kraftig tillväxt av jobb. Utländska turister som besöker Sverige är betydelsefulla, dåde enligt SCB har en generellt högre konsumtion av varor och tjänster med högtarbetsinnehåll som övernattningar och restaurangbesök. Detta skapar momsintäkter till statenförutom att de genererar jobb inom den mest sysselsättningsintensiva delen av turistindustrin.Syfte:Syftet med studien är att kartlägga hur Göteborg går tillväga och har gått tillväga för att skapaen framgångsrik och attraktiv turiststad.Problem:Hur och varför satsar Göteborg på turistnäringen?Vad lockar turisterna till Göteborg?Har infrastrukturen och stadsplaneringen anpassats till turistnäringen?Vilken betydelse har kommunikationerna till och från Göteborg för utvecklingen avturistnäringen?Vad genererar turismen i intäkter och sysselsättning för Göteborg?Avgränsningar:Då turistnäringen är ett relativt brett begrepp har författarna avgränsat sig till att undersöka demest besökta och attraktiva turistattraktionerna i Göteborg stad och vad dessa genererar ituristekonomiskt inflöde.Metod:Uppsatsen är en beskrivande fallstudie av Göteborg som turiststad, som baseras på bådeprimärdata och sekundärdata.Resultat och slutsatser:Göteborg satsar på turistnäringen genom samarbete mellan näringsliv och kommun.Närhetskonceptet är en betydande konkurrensfaktor.

Abstract During object-oriented system development, programming should be preceded by analysis and design to assure that the system fulfils the demands of the customer and simplify during the development phase and documentation. When modeling the analysis and design phases, several different notations may be used. One of these is the UML (Unified Modeling Language) which this thesis will cover. The aim is to compare the use of the UML i practice versus what is said in the literature. The investigation is built upon interviews at different companies to receive their reflections about the UML.

As IT service departments in organisations are becoming more complex and customised, the indirect costs are increasing in relation to the total costs. The difficulty of fully estimating and identifying the spread of the cost in the IT service department is increasing. As a result, firms tend to budget the business unit as a total cost rather than as a spread of defined costs. In order to deal with this challenge an ABC calculation will be applied. The Time Driven ABC model will be conducted in OMX´s Servicedesk unit within the IT services.

A major issue that has been a subject for quite some time is whether there will be a scarcity of metals in the bedrock in the future and whether or not we might end up with a problem similar to that of the big oil crisis in the mid-seventies. Following the oil crisis many oil companies started up with risk management to control future risks. This work presents how Swedish mining companies work with risk management to handle risks that might come up in the future due to metal scarceness. How Swedish mining companies look at the possible metal scarceness and if they use risk management in their decision-making process is studied. By doing interviews with Swedish owned mining companies it was found that the mining companies did not see the future metal scarcity as a risk, even though 2/3 of the companies acknowledged the scarceness to be a reality.

The title of this essay is ?Collaboration between social services and schools?.

The environmental debate is more intensive than ever before and the demands on companies increase. There are a number of methods to make it easier for the companies to fulfil the demands. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) end ecodesign are some of the methods that can be used. Syntronic AB has the possibility to reduce the products´ environmental impact in the design phase. Therefore it is important for the company to make it possible to visualize the negative environmental impacts a product can cause in an easy way. It is also important to visualize for there clients if any improvement is possible. The purpose of this thesis is to develop a simplified model.

Efficiency has become an important objective for many providers of welfare services. Among Swedish schools, both private and public, increased administrative demands seemingly influence operations, and affect teachers negatively through perceived stress. Simultaneously, Swedish students scored an all-time low in the latest PISA survey, and are now performing below the OECD-average in science, mathematics and reading. A central administrative task in the Swedish elementary school is the parent-teacher conference, which is an important activity in supporting the development of the student's knowledge and social skills.
