Handelns utredningsinstitut använde sig år 2002 av statistiska faktorer för att förutspå detaljhandeln i Kalmar län för år 2012. Idag, år 2010, ser vi att denna prognos i jämförelse mot 2007 års rapport, ej verkar falla in. Vi ser att ett komplement till en sådan prognos för att kunna inkludera de faktorer som Handelns utredningsinstitut ej beaktade, bör utgå ifrån en kvalitativ faktor. För detta krävs det att en ny metod för denna typ av prognostisering tas fram innan vi genomför en ny prognos för detaljhandelns utveckling för år 2020 i Kalmar läns respektive kommuner.Syftet med uppsatsen är att genomföra en prognostisering av köpkraftens utveckling och detaljhandelns försäljningsutveckling i Kalmar läns respektive kommuner. Tillsammans med denna prognostisering utformar vi en prognosmetod för prognostiseringen.

Cityuniversitetet är ett begrepp på vår samtids universitetsmodell som innebär att universitetets lokaler ligger utspritt, helst på ett fåtal samlade platser i staden. Universitetsmodellen är nära knutet till den funktionsblandade staden, med stenstaden som ideal. Staden ser på universitet som en stor fördel i konkurrensen med andra städer och regioner och universiteten används i marknadsföringen av kunskapsregioner/städer. Uppsatsen undersöker vad ett cityuniversitet är, om det finns ett samband mellan olika stadsbyggnadsideal och hur ett cityuniversitet skapas. Detta undersöks av en studie av litteratur och fallstudier av Göteborgs universitet och Malmö högskola som analyseras av en SWOT-analys.

This masters thesis investigates how the Swedish county libraries relate to equality between men and women. The thesis treats the county library both as a place of work and as a part of the national library network. One of the reasons why this study focuses on county libraries is because of their special position in the Swedish library organisation as a link between the national policy and the public libraries. The analysis in the study is based on theories that argue masculinity and femininity as social constructions, and therefore can be affected by a different type of conduct. Data was gathered using qualitative questionnaires combined with some quantitative elements that were used to gain fundamental facts regarding the distribution of employees between the sexes and the existence of equality policies.
