Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur och varför kläder och designuppfattas annorlunda i det land där kläderna designas och eventuellttillverkas i förhållande till hur plaggen uppfattas i andra länder där desäljs. Metod: Då vårt ämne rör konsumenters subjektiva uppfattningar har vi använtoss av ett kvalitativt angreppssätt. Vi har intervjuat respondenter i tvåolika länder, Spanien och Sverige angående två klädesföretag, H&M ochZara, som har dessa två länder som hemland respektive utland. Vi hardärefter analyserat empirin genom att sätta den i ett teoretiskt perspektiv. Teoretiska perspektiv: Den teoretiska grunden i uppsatsen utgörs av tre teoriområden:Marknadsföringsteori ur ett företagsperspektiv, som tar upp faktorer hosföretagen som kan bidra till de skillnader konsumenterna upplever finnseller inte finns mellan klädkedjorna; Konsumentpsykologisk teori somökar förståelsen för de psykologiska processer hos konsumenterna sompåverkar hur företagen och deras marknadsföringsstrategier upplevs, ochimage skapas; Kulturrelaterad teori som försöker förklara den effektkulturskillnader får på konsumentbeteende, vilket är relevant då vi ämnarjämföra två länder med olika kulturer.

Syftet med denna uppsats är att beskriva och analysera de alternativ som finns för att organisera kvalitetskontroll för svenska företag som gör inköp i Kina. Vi vill försöka skapa en förståelse för hur kvalitetskontrollen hanteras vid inköp från ett land på stort avstånd, samt för de problem som kan uppstå vid kvalitetskontrollen. Vi har valt ett kvalitativ angreppssätt för att presentera, analysera och förstå begreppet kvalitetskontroll. Undersökningen visar på vikten av kvalitetskontroll vid inköp av textil- och konfektionsvaror i Kina. Kontrollen som bör utföras är relativt enkel men arbetet för att uppnå kvalitet är desto mer komplicerat..

Since 1993 the Swedish Forestry Administration conducts a nation-wide inventory of wood-land key habitats covering all forest land in Sweden. The inventory aims at mapping and describing habitats where redlisted species occur or can be expected to occur. According to the inventory stand history is crucial to the presence of red-listed species. However, the current knowledge of stand history in woodland key habitats is very limited. The purpose of this work is to describe stand history in woodland key habitats, i.e. fire history, human activities - mainly cuttings - and structural changes.

The aim with my master thesis is to develop and test the applicability of methods to quantify and map solute advective travel times and pollutant transport at the catchment scale. Such quantification and mapping can increase the understanding of catchment-scale pollutant transport in general and contribute to the identification of the main sources of water pollution and the most efficient measures to reduce such pollution. The study area is the catchment of Oxundaån, about 20 km north of Stockholm. For detailed GIS modeling of water flow and catchment-scale contaminant transport in water, I´ve used new high-resolution elevation maps, land cover maps and soil maps combined with other available relevant data..

This master thesis was written in the purpose to study how the location and access to computers in the physical realm of the public library reflects the undergoing changes in the public libraries role in Swedish society. This study is done in a form of a case study of three small public libraries. All of them were in the process of transforming both their physical and virtual space. The thesis focuses on where in the library the computers are placed and how their location interacts with the libraries main tasks. It also focuses on the analysis of the relationship between these two elements and how that relationship reflects the alteration of the public libraries place in society.

Det har funnits en debatt under många år debatt om snöskoterns vara eller icke vara runt om i Norrland. Diskussioner om att förbjuda snöskotertrafik utanför utmärkta leder och att bullernivån på snöskotrar är för höga är exempel på problem som finns. Idag finns det områden inom Norrbottens län som har delvis eller totala snöskoterförbud. Syftet med detta arbete är att titta på i vilken utsträckning det nio punkter som rapporten Snöskotern i Naturen ställt upp, detta är en rapport som släpptes 1994 av Miljö- och Naturresurs Departementet. Syftet med den utredningen var att skydda miljön mot de skadeverkningar som uppstår efter snöskotern.

Stalkning är inget som enbart drabbar kända människor. Det kan även förekomma på fler olika sätt och de utsatt kan reagera olika. Att bli stalkad innebär inte alltid hot eller fysisk förföljelse, det kan även förekomma som ovälkomna presentleveranser och att stalkaren ?råkar? dyka upp på offrets matvarubutik, gym, etc. Denna uppsats ska bidra till en enhetlig definition av begreppet stalkning och dess innebörd, och en eventuell utveckling.

The aim of this study was to examine ways in which High School Students approach academic writing. Both discursive and critical-analytical levels in 21 PM-texts and 14 investigating literary essays were analyzed through a genre theoretical and sociocultural framework in order to widen the understanding of students? usage of explicit textual and interpersonal markers as well as their techniques of writing abstracts. The results showed that nearly 25 percent of the putative abstracts consisted of sampled and reshaped text sequences. The majority of these were on the other hand results of a creative process in which the students reshaped utterances from different sources.

Background: Every year, 2000 persons in Sweden are diagnosed with malignant melanoma, the most alarming form of skincancer. Sunexposure, sunburns and tanningbed use are the most appearing causes in the development of this disease. The skin of young people is sensitive to UV-radiation and their sunbehaviour could be determinant to their future health. Purpose: To illuminate the knowledge and attitudes of adolescents towards sunexposure in the meaning to avoid the development of malignant melanoma. Method: The study was designed to be a literature review, containing scientific articles of both qualitative and quantitative approach.

This study is commissioned by the Swedish University of Agricultural Science (SLU - Department of Forest Resource Management) in coorporation with Sveaskog and Vilhelmina Norra Sami reindeer herding community. The purpose of this study is to analyse movement patterns and habitat use of reindeers during two winter seasons (2005/2006 and 2006/2007) in areas affected by forestry activities such as clearcutting. This study examines the possibilities of analysing information from Reindeer husbandry plans and forest variable data from kNN and SMD, in relation to GPS collar points from reindeers by using Geographical Information System (GIS). Lack of knowledge and understanding between the reindeer industry and the timber industry has often led to heated debates. The possibilities of using this type of technique are very interesting and could increase knowledge concerning land-use issues to different resource users. The main results from analyses comparing SMD, kNN, data about clearcuts, and GPS collar points from reindeers indicates that clearcut areas, younger forest, coniferous forest on lichen-dominated areas and areas dominated by pine was preferred by reindeers during the winter period.

Streaming is a big field in todays digitalized society. The streaming market is huge, both in regards to the customer base, but also in regards to different providers and their stakes within this market. But how does the different providers go about in order to provide their users with added value? What does the user prioritize? The purpose of this study is to examine which additional functions can be considered important when designing a streaming service, which in turn will create an added value for the user. The study is based on a qualitative study of 6 individuals with semi-structured interviews and we will present an in-depth analysis regarding four fields of interest to us in regards to streaming services; second devices, recommendation systems, keywords and social connectivity.

ästerbottens färgrika stenskatter - Spatiala presentationer och analyser av skifferfynd i Västerbottens län(The colorful stone treasures of Västerbotten ? Spatial presentations and analysis of slate artefacts in Västerbotten County)This essay pertains to the spatial distributions and analysis of slate artefacts in Västerbotten County, Sweden. The authors aim is to give answers the issues of what the distribution patterns of slate artefacts can tell us about the prehistoric humans in this area. By using GIS software and geospatial analysis the author strengthens the theories about separate interior and coastal economies, as well as the theory that the main share of production of slate artifacts are linked in the interior of the County, the author also refers to earlier research, both domestic and international. The theories of non-pragmatic preferences by the late Mesolithic and Neolithic people for red colored slate are also added to.
