Bakgrund: De kommande Ären gÄr mÄnga mÀnniskor födda pÄ 1940-talet i pension. I och med detta stÄr mÄnga smÄföretag inför ett Àgarskifte det kommande decenniet. Ett eget företag kan vara som att ta hand om en baby ? det krÀvs engagemang, omsorg och omtanke för att babyn ska vÀxa och mÄ bra. Att vara den som adopterar en baby Àr dÀrmed ett stort beslut som omgÀrdas av mÄnga olika faktorer vilket köparen av ett företag behöver kÀnna till.Syfte: Syftet med studien Àr att beskriva vad köpare av smÄ Àgarledda företag upplever som kritiska inre faktorer vid Àgarskifte och skapa en förstÄelse för dessa problem.

Att styra och kontrollera verksamhet blir allt viktigare i den hÄrda internationella konkurrens som rÄder. Genom att mÀta verksamheten fÄr företag information, som kan omvandlas till att skapa kunskap för att förstÄ och förbÀttra verksamheten. MÀtningen mÄste bÄde innefatta finansiella och ickefinansiella variabler. Problemet med mÀtning Àr att den har kritiserats för att vara för historisk, dvs ser mer bakÄt pÄ vad som har hÀnt. Det Àr dÀrför viktigt att företag utvecklar mÀtning till att vara mer framÄtsyftande.

Syftet med undersökningen var att studera en grupp idrottande mÀn angÄende deras mÄltidsordning för att undersöka hur de förhöll sig till de Svenska nÀringsrekommendationerna och Sveriges Olympiska kommittés rekommendationer för elitidrottare.Genom samarbete med en ishockeyklubb undersökte vi mÄltidsordningen hos ett herrishockylag i division I. Detta genomfördes med hjÀlp av en enkÀtundersökning pÄ samtliga spelare i laget samt kostintervjuer pÄ ett antal spelare. En intervju med trÀnaren genomfördes för att fÄ mer ingÄende svar pÄ vad enkÀtundersökningens resultat kunde bero pÄ.Det som framkom i undersökningarna var en spridning bland spelarna vad gÀller mÄltidsordning. Flera av spelarna hade en god mÄltidsordning och Ät pÄ rekommenderade tidpunkter, men inom laget fanns det stora svagheter kring mÄltidsordning dÀr mÄltiderna var ojÀmnt fördelade under dygnet. Antalet mÄltider varierade mellan 3-8 mÄltider per dag varav mellanmÄlen var fördelade mellan 1-5 mÄl om dagen.Flertalet av spelarna Ät frukost varje dag, men nÄgra Ät endast denna mÄltid ibland.

Akvaponik beskrivs som en innovation som kan fr?mja h?llbar livsmedelsproduktion, samtidigt som dess implementering ?nnu inte har n?tt kommersiell framg?ng. Tidigare forskning identifierar flera hinder f?r en etablering av systemet i olika delar av v?rlden, men situationen i Sverige ?r mestadels outforskad. Denna studie unders?ker vad som hindrar kommersiell akvaponik i Sverige utifr?n ekonomiska, regelm?ssiga, sociala och milj?m?ssiga aspekter, samt hur dessa hinder kan motverkas.

Denna studie handlar om kommuners anva?ndning av sociala medier i allma?nhet och Facebook i synnerhet. Fenomenet sociala medier har vuxit sig allt starkare under de senaste a?ren och nu fo?r tiden anva?nds de inte bara av privatpersoner, utan ocksa? av fo?retag, organisationer och nu a?ven myndigheter, som bo?rjat se nyttan med dem. Arbetet bygger vidare pa? en studie som har genomfo?rts av Sveriges Kommuner och Landsting (SKL), som har tagit fram riktlinjer fo?r hur kommuner skall fo?rha?lla sig till medborgare na?r det ga?ller anva?ndning av sociala medier.

Utbudet och anvÀndningen av kosttillskott bland idrottare Àr stor trots att fÄ vetenskapliga bevis finns gÀllande positiva effekter eller ökad prestation. Studier har Àven visat att det finns risker med anvÀndning av kosttillskott dÄ det kan pÄverka hÀlsa och prestationsförmÄga negativt. Orsaker till anvÀndandet av kosttillskott bland idrottare anges frÀmst vara i syfte att öka prestation, hÀlsa, muskelmassa och förebygga sjukdom.Syftet med denna undersökning var att göra en kartlÀggning över intag av kosttillskott hos idrottare samt att ta reda pÄ vilka attityder de har till anvÀndning av kosttillskott. Syftet innefattade Àven om attityderna pÄverkade anvÀndningen av kosttillskott samt om det fanns olikheter mellan mÀn och kvinnor bland annat gÀllande Äsikter om kosttillskott. Idrottarnas uppfattning om risker vid intag av kosttillskott var en annan aspekt som undersöktes.EnkÀtundersökningen, dÀr 98 lagidrottande mÀn och kvinnor som spelar i division tre eller högre deltog, visade att 52 procent av idrottarna inte anvÀnde kosttillskott.De frÀmsta orsakerna till att de inte anvÀnde kostillskott var att de ansÄg sig fÄ ett fullgott energi- och nÀringsintag genom intag av vanlig kost samt att de inte ansÄg sig ha tillrÀcklig kunskap om för- och nackdelar.

The purpose of this study is to get the cadastral procedure for condominiums to become more affordable. The aims of the study is to examine how the number of condominiums, the number of joint facilities and the number of joint property units that are formed in a condominium cadastral procedure in Sweden influences the cadastral procedure cost. To get an overall perspective the study also explores how the chosen forms of co-operation have worked out in association management.A condominium is a type of three-dimensional property unit, which may only contain one residence.  This form of property formation has been allowed in Sweden since 1 May 2009.  At the end of 2014 less than 1000 condominiums had been formed despite the legislator?s expectations for 3000-5000 condominiums a year. The property unit can have access to necessary facilities, not available within the property boundaries, by establishing joint facilities or form joint property units.

AimThe aim of the study was to develop a method for the survey of play movement demands and temporal patterns in order to enable a descriptive study of the defensive players in American Football. The overall aim was to  improve the understanding of how American Football is played to create opportunities for enhancement of current or developing new training methods to better suit football.MethodFifty plays from a Division 3 college football game on video from 2005 was divided into sequences of action for one player each from the defensive line, linebackers and defensive backs and analyzed with the video analyzing software cSwing. Every players sequence of action was recorded in a spreadsheet and noted on a scaled football field where distances were measured and together with time stamps from cSwing velocity was calculated.ResultsUsing this method it was possible to describe the play movement demands and temporal patterns which was the main task of the study. The defensive end worked on an average 4.61 seconds per play, the distance was 12.4 meters and average speed 2.5 m×s-1. The linebacker worked on an average 4.35 s per play, 13.7 m and at a mean speed of 3.0 m×s-1.

This report is the result of a thesis carried out at the Department of Innovation, Design and Technology (IDT), at MĂ€lardalen University on behalf of ABB AB Machines.The year was 1988 when ASEA and Brown Boveri formed a joint venture under the name ABB (Asea Brown Boveri).We perform our thesis at the division Discrete Automation and Motion where they primarily develops, manufactures and sells synchronous and asynchronous AC motors and generators.The main purpose of this thesis was initially to write a general packaging instruction, but the priority changed to develop more specific packaging instructions for Rotors, Stator gables, Bearing support and Outer Cover (plates) instead.The work started off to deal with a problem about that the staff had to start its work to grind away rust on the stator gables due to those stored outdoors. The result was mainly an investment in a new gable rack so that the material can be stored inside, as well as a packing instruction as it was originally intended.The problem on the bearing supports were that the staff thought it was demanding and difficult to clean them from the rustproofing they were greased in. If it is not possible to remove all rust protection it can cause the paint to not attach properly. After having compared with similar articles a test were done to order a pair of bearing supports without corrosion inhibitor, which gave good results. This initiative also set in motion a process to do the same for more different items.For special pallet, a survey were made of the process with two different VSM and a calculation of how much ABB would earn at ordering more special pallets than getting the material delivered on the A-pallets.

As a consequence of a turbulent financial market with recurring recessions, the Basel regime was developed, an institutional change with the purpose to create enhanced financial stability through increased capital requirements and increased scrutiny of internal procedures. The Basel regime is an often recurring element in social debates where various aspects are discussed, one of which is whether it maintains its purpose to secure financial stability or whether it is cost effective, and if not, who gets affected by these potential costs.The majority of previously conducted research within this area agrees with the opinion that changes in the regulatory framework within the financial markets, such as the Basel regime, has led to reduced risk of bankruptcy for the banks which has contributed to increased global financial stability. However, research illustrates that these types of changes in the regulatory framework impose a financial burden leading to contradictions in the division of these costs between costumers and shareholders. This dissertation has been conducted from a shareholders perspective, out of which the study ?s three hypothesis has been created from.The data in this study is built upon the stock price from the three largest available banks? shares (based on total assets), in the 26 countries which are represented in the Basel committee from (2007) to (2013).

AbstractTitle: Art influences in todayÂŽs advertisingimages ?

The purpose of this essay is using theories about labeling and social bonds to study whether a measure of rehabilitation for the psychically disabled contributes to a return to a normal status as not-labeled. Partly we examine whether the activities organized by the regulation-ruled authorities during the work of rehabilitation lead to shame or pride, and partly how these activities are organized regarding the processes that lead to the emotions pride or shame among the participants. Method: qualitative semi-structured face-to-face interviews with professional rehabilitation-actors at the Public Employment Office (PEO), the Social Insurance Office (SIO), the Social Service (SOS), the Psychiatry and the Division of Labour Market (AME).Conclusions: the Psychiatry clients are treated with respect, may participate, and communication is characterized by attunement, therefore strong social bonds can be built. On the contrary, among the other examined activities, we found many elements that arouse shame. Since these are more ruled by regulations, the result is engulfment and demands on conformity, because the compromise-possibilities are almost non-existent.

Studien Àr en kvalitativ, empirisk undersökning som baseras pÄ intervjuer med sex pedagoger som arbetar pÄ Reggio Emilia-inspirerade förskolor. Reggio Emilia-filosofin vÀxte fram i norra Italien efter andra vÀrldskriget och introducerades i Sverige under början av 1980-talet. Inom Reggio Emilia anser man att barn Àr rika och kompetenta och man arbetar kontinuerligt med att utvÀrdera och utveckla verksamheten genom att bland annat anvÀnda pedagogisk dokumentation som arbetsredskap. Syftet med studien Àr att undersöka om och i sÄdana fall pÄ vilka sÀtt pedagoger pÄ tvÄ Reggio Emilia-inspirerade förskolor anser att deras förhÄllningssÀtt förÀndrats jÀmfört med deras tidigare yrkesutövning inom förskoleverksamhet. I litteraturgenomgÄngen redogörs för ursprunget till Reggio Emilia-filosofin, hur framvÀxten av den svenska förskolan sett ut, nÀr och hur Reggio Emilia introducerades i Sverige samt de grundtankar vi funnit centrala inom Reggio Emilias filosofi.

AbstractTitle: Similar but different ? Sweden Democrats and Swedish Social Democratic Party in Swedish newspapers online during 2010 (Lika men olika ? Sverigedemokraterna och Socialdemokraterna i svensk rikspress pÄ nÀtet 2010).Number of pages: 35 (40 including enclosures)Author: Magnus MjöhagenTutor: Amelie HössjerCourse: Media and Communication studies CPeriod: Autumn 2010University: Division of Media and Communication, Department of Information and Media, Uppsala UniversityPurpose/aim: To discover any possible difference between the media report concerning The Sweden Democrats and the Swedish Social Democratic Party in Swedish news press.Material/method: A quantitative content analysis has been made with 64 articles from the homepages of the four biggest news papers in Sweden: Aftonbladet.se, Expressen.se, DN.se (Dagens Nyheter) and SvD.se (Svenska Dagbladet). The analysis focused on four themes: 1) framing in the articles, 2) impersonation in the articles, 3) the democratic task of journalism and 4) the expectations of journalism in an election campaign.Main results: The main results showed that the difference between the two parties either was nonexistent or very small. The articles were sometimes framed in specific ways, but a big amount of the articles were not framed. Impersonation occurred in about half of the cases, concerning both parties.
