This study investigated the relation between Extraversion and Conscientiousness with job satisfaction and job selection in the two occupational groups of telemarketing and administration. The study also set out to explore the relation between social desirability as assessed with an Implicit Association Test (IAT) and total reaction time on the IAT. The questionnaire was administered over the Internet to forty-one subjects (24 women and 17 men) in the age range 16-65. Results indicated that people working with telemarketing tend to be extrovert while people working with administration often are conscientious. Job satisfaction correlated with Extraversion in the telemarketing group.

Quality Assurance in Service Procurement --- Total Quality and Total Quality Management refer to popular management philosophies in organizations these days. The purchasing department has an important part in the strive for organizational quality as several studies show corporate spend is significant and increasing. In this master thesis I study the actions companies take to ensure quality in service procurement. I argue that managing quality when sourcing services is particularly tricky, because of the special characteristics that belong to services. The purpose of the study is to examine whether different actions are taken to ensure the quality of different kinds of services.

Energy-wise houses in JĂ€ringe - technical follow-up The company JM built energy-efficient houses in Tensta in Stockholm.

The project aims to examine the data for the 16 houses on the basis of data and produce a report showing how the buildings worked through a technical perspective. JM approximates that the purchased energy will not be higher than 95 kWh/m2 per year.

Bakgrund och problem: Förekomsten av fusioner och förvÀrv har vuxit exponentiellt under90-talet och gÄtt frÄn att vara ett amerikanskt fenomen till att förekomma över hela vÀrlden.Fem fusionsvÄgor kan urskiljas och den sista vÄgen intrÀffade under 1990-talet dÀr storlekenpÄ fusionerna ökade kraftigt jÀmfört med tidigare vÄgor. Oljeindustrin pÄverkades i storomfattning och fusionerna mellan Total och PetroFina samt TotalFina och Elf Aquitaine ÀrtvÄ exempel pÄ mycket stora fusioner under denna tidsperiod. Denna uppsats fokuserar pÄ attanalysera de motiv som lÄg bakom storleken pÄ den premie Total betalade för PetroFinasaktier samt hur TotalFinas och Elf Aquitaines agerande i media kan förklaras i samband medbudgivningsprocessen företagen emellan.Syfte: Uppsatsen syftar till att analysera Totals motiv till premien företaget betalade förPetroFinas aktier samt företagens agerande i media i samband med fusionen mellan TotalFinaoch Elf Aquitaine.AvgrÀnsningar: Vid fusionen mellan Total och PetroFina avgrÀnsar vi oss till att analyseramotiven till premien, eftersom en heltÀckande analys hade varit för tidskrÀvande. Vidfusionen mellan TotalFina och Elf Aquitaine avgrÀnsar vi oss till att analysera utspelen imedia under budgivningsprocessen av samma anledning som ovan.Metod: Uppsatsen Àr utformad som en deskriptiv fallstudie dÀr en kvalitativ metod anvÀntsför att besvara frÄgestÀllningarna. Vidare baseras studien uteslutande pÄ sekundÀrdata sÄsomÄrsredovisningar och artiklar frÄn affÀrspress.

Schmallenberg virus (SBV) is a novel arthropod-borne orthobunyavirus emerging in Europe in 2011 to 2012. Acute SBV infection causes diarrhoea, fever and reduced milk production in dairy cattle, but it is mainly the reproductive disorders (abortions, malformed foetuses and stillborn animals) in ruminants that have caused substantial economical losses. The prevalence of the virus outside of Europe is poorly investigated. SBV or SBV-like antibodies were detected in Mozambique in 2013, which raised interest for a similar study in Tanzania. In this study in Tanzania, blood samples were collected from 478 sheep and goats from 39 herds in 15 different villages in three districts, covering areas in the north, south and east of Tanzania. The epidemiology of the virus was investigated by tracing antibodies by ELISA and mapping of the virus by PCR was started.

Denna uppsats har fo?r avsikt att na?rmare underso?ka hur ursprungsregler inom det multilaterala handelssystemet a?r utformade, hur de tilla?mpas och om de kan ta?nkas anva?ndas pa? ett protektionistisk eller diskriminerande sa?tt och da?rfo?r utgo?ra handelshinder. Det har under arbetets ga?ng visat sig att det finns bela?gg fo?r att ursprungsreglerna a?r mycket komplexa och sva?rhanterliga i ma?nga avseenden och att de administrativa procedurerna kring ursprungsregler a?r kunskapskra?vande, tidskra?vande och kostsamma. Att la?nder sja?lva ges mo?jligheten att utforma ursprungsregler medfo?r ocksa? risker fo?r att reglerna anva?nds pa? ett protektionistiskt sa?tt a?ven om de la?nder som antagit WTO:s avtal om ursprungsregler underkastat sig att respektera och fo?lja de grundla?ggande riktlinjer och principer som avtalet om ursprungsregler bygger pa?.

The interest for locally produced food is increasing due to consumer concern about the environment, distrust of industrial foods and a demand for high quality products. Apple is the predominant fruit crop in Sweden, and by processing apples into cider and vinegar, these products could significantly contribute to the development of the market of local foods.In this study different yeast types and different bacterial cultures were evaluated for their suitability in cider and vinegar production from cloudy apple juice. Ten apple cultivars (Aroma, Baldwin, Belle de Boskoop, Bramley, Cortland, Gravensteiner, Ingrid-Marie, Jonathan, Rubinola and Spartan) were also evaluated for their suitability for production of juice, cider and vinegar. Chemical analyses including total soluble solids, titratable acidity and total phenols were performed on the products along with sensorial evaluation by taste panels.The yeast strains were shown to have an effect on fermentation rate and the resulting content of total phenols in ciders fermented from cloudy apple juice. Dry commercial starter strains gave a higher appreciated cider compared to cider that was spontaneously fermented, and the ale yeast Safale S-04 was concluded to be the most suited for fermentation of cloudy apple juice.For vinegar production, the bacterial culture had an effect on TSS, but not on any other chemical or taste characteristics.
