This thesis takes a balanced research approach in threeparts. Firstly a qualitative part in form of interviews with personnel at the SSS and itsproperty owners, secondly a quantitative part of descriptive nature in form of energystatistics and thirdly a literature review of Energy Management (EM) Supply ChainManagement(SCM), Green Supply Chain Management(GSCM) and EnviromentalPerformance Indicators (EPI). This in order to be able to give normativerecommendations of how the SSS should act to reduce its energy consumption in itslocales and provide new insights on how EM, SCM, GSCM and EPI can be applied ineffect.

The subject for this Master's thesis is the mission of the public library concerning target group everybody. Control documents, traditions, norms and trends influence how this is interpreted and how the library's service is being formed. The often very abstract terms used to describe the public library's mission makes it open for different interpretations. We are of the opinion that the public library's service should be formed to reflect the needs, interests, and priorities of the community it services, in order to be more attractive and useful.The aim of our study is to examine how the public librarians define and adjust to the mission to satisfy all citizens needs. Why do they choose to concentrate on certain target groups? And what does that show of how the public libraries reflect their communities? Our investigation includes examining six activities aimed at a certain target group and the six public libraries that carried these out.

Ämne: Företagsekonomi, kandidatuppsats 15 hpStudien har till syfte att klarlägga behovet av förvaltningsrevision i de små aktiebolagen i Sverige samt undersöka vilken betydelse ett avskaffande har för styrelsen och verkställande direktören. Frågan är mycket aktuell då det just nu pågår en viktig diskussion om revisionsplikten bör vara obligatorisk eller inte. Frågeställningen är således: vilket värde ger förvaltningsrevision för mindre aktiebolag samt dess styrelse och verkställande direktör?Undersökningen är deduktiv då den tar sitt ursprung i en redan erkänd teoretisk ram. En kvalitativ studie har genomförts med fyra personliga intervjuer och tre intervjuer som genomförts via mail.

Bakgrund: Att kostbehandlingar utförs är först och främst patientens eget ansvar. Dietister arbetar därför med att stödja egenvården och ge råd vid oklarheter. Många dietister använder hjälpmedel för att kunna underlätta patientens vardag, men inga kända studier innan denna har undersökt hur dietister ser på möjligheten att använda mobilapplikationer som hjälpmedel för egenvård.Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka yrkesaktiva svenska dietisters syn på mobilapplikationer som hjälpmedel för patienters egenvård. Samt om synen varierar med dietisternas ålder och arbetsplats.Metod: En webbenkät skickades ut via e-post till svenska dietister. Urvalet gjordes genom Dietisternas Riksförbunds (DRF) medlemsregister.

Syftet med denna studie är att få kunskap om hur sex danslärare uppfattar sitt arbete med bedömning i dans i gymnasieskolan, inom de nya ämnes-och kursplanerna från 2011. Studien avser också undersöka hur danslärarna går tillväga under feedbacksamtal i dansämnet. Mitt syfte för studien grundar sig i att jag själv har ett starkt intresse för bedömning och hur jag kan utveckla olika bedömningsmetoder. De metoder jag har använt mig av i studien är tre kvalitativa intervjuer, samt tre intervjuer via mail. Intervjupersonerna har valts på grunderna att de undervisar elever inom det estetiska programmet inriktning dans, samt att de undervisar elever enligt de nya ämnes-och kursplanerna.

Humans have inhabited mountainous areas in northern Sweden since the end of the last glacial period, ca 8000 B.P., and their presence has marked the landscape in various ways. Older traces include the remains of hearths and dwelling sites, but there are also remains, such as culturally modified trees (CMT's), resulting from more recent activities in forested areas. This study aimed to document how people, both indigenous Sami's and Swedish settlers, have used an area northwest of Ammarnäs in Västerbotten, during the last 300 years, and what traces their activities have left in the area. I used historical records as well as an inventory of CMT's in the area to address this aim. Historical records of Sami activity are meagre, but it is clear that the people of the Ran and Gran Sami villages utilized the area long before 1500 A.D.

Värdeflödesanalys är ett ofta använt verktyg inom förbättringskonceptet Lean och syftar till att eliminera slöserier i processer och erhålla en högre resurseffektivitet. Värdeflödesanalys har sitt ursprung i produktionssektorn men har utvecklats till att användas också inom tjänstesektorn även om det fortfarande inte tillämpas i lika stor utsträckning där. Reklamationsprocessen är just en sådan tjänsteprocess som detta examensarbete syftar till att undersöka.Målsättningen är att framlägga resultat som bidrar till att ABB Control Products kan lämna svar till kund inom 10 arbetsdagar från mottagande av returnerad produkt. För detta ändamål kartläggs ett antal avslutade reklamationsärenden bestående av produktfamiljerna kontaktorer, mjukstartare och tryckknappar. Dessutom följs ett mjukstartarfall i realtid genom reklamationsprocessen för att direkt kunna observera hur arbetet går till.Det kan konstateras att den främsta anledningen till att ledtiden för reklamationsärenden idag är för lång är att det samlas stora lager vid varje processteg.

In 1999 the Swedish Parliament decided about 15 environmental goals aimed to be achieved in time for the next generation. For example physical social planning must be based on programs and strategies how cultural-historical values has been attended, so called programs of cultural heritage. By law the Swedish municipalities are responsible for reaching these goals by creating program of cultural heritage. But only a few of the municipalities have these programs, meaning that many municipalities need to create programs of cultural heritage in the next five years.The aim of this report is to present a model of analysis on programs of cultural heritage in municipalities for preservation and development of cultural environments. By testing the model on the municipalities of Osby and Tomelilla methods on how to create a new program of cultural heritage or how to complete existing documents are formulated.One of the conclusions is that one document, program of cultural heritage, functions as landscape analysis, model of cultural valuation and strategy of developing cultural values.
