De svenska städerna har genomgått en omvandling gällande synen på kollektivtrafik. För hundra år sedan var spårvägen det vanligaste kollektiva färdsättet. Sedan dess har städerna genomgått stora förändringar men det intressanta är att allt fler städer väljer att gå tillbaka till spårvägstrafik. Detta fenomen ville jag undersöka lite närmare och resultatet är dettta kandidatarbete med Malmö som föremål för fallstudien.

The castration of piglets is performed routinely all around the world. Most castrations are done without anaesthesia and analgesia, despite the fact that this procedure has been proved to induce acute pain and stress for the piglets. The procedure regarding castration of piglets is currently a hot topic of debate and an important political issue. The underlying issue is the boar taint which are highlighted in the heating of the meat after slaughter, which in turn can lead to reduced meat sales as it can be perceived as unpleasant for many consumers. The purpose of this study is to examine alternative drugs which may be selected in order to replace the practice of castration of piglets without anaesthesia, in light of improved animal welfare.

SAMMANFATTNINGTitel                     Det kontantlösa samhället - Bankernas och deras kunders syn på av-              vecklingen av den manuella kontanthanteringenFörfattare           Lisa Karlsson & Elin TorgnyssonProgram             EkonomprogrammetHandledare        Thomas KarlssonInstitution           Ekonomihögskolan, Linnéuniversitetet Kalmar  Bakgrund: De senaste åren har fler och fler banker runt om i Sverige minskat och i vissa fall helt tagit bort den manuella hanteringen av kontanter på sina kontor. Det finns uppgifter om att den manuella kontanthanteringen har avvecklats på cirka 500 bankkontor mellan åren 2010 och 2012 och denna siffra ökar ständigt. Detta kan ses som en stor förändring som påverkar hela samhället vilket bankerna och deras kunder reagerar olika på. Syfte: Att undersöka varför fler och fler banker i Kalmar tar bort hanteringen av kontanter på sina kontor, vad som är positivt respektive negativt med detta för bankerna och hur det påverkar bankernas kunder. Metod: Vi har i denna uppsats använt oss av en abduktiv ansats med en kvalitativ undersökningsmetod. Empirin har samlats in genom fyra semi-strukturerade intervjuer med banker i Kalmar samt en enkätundersökning med privatpersoner i olika åldrar för att få båda parters perspektiv på förändringen i samhället. Resultat och slutsatser: Vår slutsats är att bankerna främst har beslutat att minska eller ta bort den manuella kontanthanteringen med orsak av att efterfrågan på kontanterna har minskat, de vill ha ökad säkerhet och minska den svarta sektorn. Kunder kan nu få mer hjälp med mer komplexa frågor, dock har förändringen medfört att ett fåtal kunder har fått minskat förtroende för sin bank och därför beslutat att byta.
