The furniture retail industry in Sweden has gone trough large changes during the last decades. Today the industry is tough and in the maturity stage where few new companies enter, especially if they do not have a unique offer. The furniture companies have become larger and fewer, the changes have lead to difficulties for smaller and medium sized companies to grow and be profitable.Our purpose is to analyse, evaluate and compare three smaller companies in Stockholm with the intention to find what kind of marketing strategies they are using to survive on the Swedish market. First we interviewed the three companies to see what they do to survive on the market, then we asked 100 persons to fill in a questionnaire to see if they had the same opinion as the companies described.With help from theories we prepared questions which laid the foundation to the empirical part of the essay.The result from this study shows that the three companies differ from each other when it comes to using relationship marketing and placing the customer in the centre. All of them are aware of the importance of doing so, but because of different limits and possibilities they can not fully adjust everything to the customer.

A politician on the peak of his career suddenly sees himself in the middle of not one or two, but five different crisis, that demand a fitting response and a well planned crisis management strategy. While focusing on ethos and its development, the following paper analyses the communicative strategies used by Germany's ex-minister of defense, Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg. Within his one and a half year tenure he had to handle continuing accusations against policy and character. Guttenberg, who in many eyes was seen as Germany's most popular politician and whose ethos, therefore, prior to the first crisis could be described as strong, is loosing his trustworthiness among the military and other politicians the longer each crisis continues.The purpose of this study is to identify the communicative pattern of Mr. Guttenberg, which in the end lead to his resignation, while his popularity continues to be strong.

AbstractThe purpose of this work is to try to find out how young people's reading habits among students look at different types of secondary school, ie. both theoretical and practical, and what factors might encourage them to read more. My questions have been; do young people read today? Is there any difference between city, gender or program? What can a teacher do to inspire young people to read more? I have made a questionnaire survey among different students at two different high schools in Skaraborg. The first school is a high school located in a medium sized town, where I made inquiries to the scientific program, social program, Business and Administration Program and the Electricity Program.

Mitt examensarbete är en studie i vardagsfotografiet som behandlar behovet och funktionen av denna fotografiska genre samt hur den behandlats i samtidskonsten. Jag undersöker samtida nordiska konstnärers metoder i bearbetningen av vardagsfotografiet samt min egen metod utifrån den konstnärliga gestaltningen. Metoderna analyseras utifrån deras relation till minnen, dess effekter och synliggörandet av fotografiska konventioner.Metoderna återkopplas i den didaktiska diskussionen där jag behandlar hur man kan arbeta med vardagsfotografiet i bildundervisningen i skolan. Ett ämne som är viktigt för det bildpedagogiska fältet då det behandlar en vardaglig praktik och ett medium som ungdomar dagligen använder.I den gestaltande delen undersöks vardagsfotografier ur mina föräldrars och farföräldrars fotoalbum genom att rekonstruera befintliga bilder i form av iscensättning. Tillvägagångssättet bestod av att återuppbygga scenen i fotografiet på den plats där bilden tagits.

Arbetet har jämfört de emissioner som olika tjocklek på lacklagren samt olika torkningstemperaturer ger upphov till. Det konstaterades att tjocka lager ger upphov till oproportionerligt höga emissioner både på kort och framförallt på lång sikt. En högre torkningstemperatur orsakar lägre emissioner på kort sikt men lika höga eller högre på lång sikt. Inverkan från underlaget som lacken applicerades på undersöktes också och där konstaterades att ett porösare medium, i detta fall en MDF-skiva, orsaker lägre emissioner. Sannolikt pga att ämnena sugs upp av materialet.

Organisationskommunikation har under de senaste decennierna påverkats av olika samhälleliga förändringar. Störst påverkan har möjligheten att kommunicera via digitala medier haft. Många förutspådde att dessa digitala medier, såsom intranät, skulle leda till bortfallet av mer traditionella pappers-kanaler, exempelvis personaltidningar, som länge använts för intern kommunikation. Detta har emellertid inte inträffat vilket tyder på att papperskanalerna bidrar med något de digitala medierna inte kan. Dessa resonemang formade en fråga om vilka medium som bör användas för att organisationer ska nå sina medarbetare med information.Det sätts alltså en stor tilltro till att de digitala medierna kommer styra en allt större del av den interna kommunikationen i framtiden.

Internet and information technology today has a rather obvious role in the activities of companies and organizations. All cash transactions within and between companies is digitized, communication within the company is done via e-mail, sales and marketing is done largely with marketing and ads on the Internet. This has resulted in economic benefits for companies and organizations, and facilitated the work for them. However, this has also led to new threats have emerged. Companies and organizations is well aware that there are numerous threats that comes with using the Internet and Information Technologies but exactly what those threats are for a mid-sized company in Sweden is not clarified anywhere.

The Swedish energy system will be influenced by many future changes, such as energy and climate policy objectives. The installation of more renewable electricity could increase by using solar energy. Over the recent years, grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) systems have increased dramatically in Sweden, partly due to various support systems and compensation models. These support systems have been designed to make it easy for individuals and businesses to invest in self-generated electricity and thus contribute to the transformation of the energy system.The introduction of a higher proportion of solar energy may in turn affect the Swedish electricity system. This could mean that the electricity companies will be facing a number of changes in the near future.

Jag har alltid haft ett intresse för att förstå olika aspekter inom religion och andlighet. Under senare år har jag även utvecklat ett intresse för att förstå så kallade ockulta fenomen. Denna uppsats tar sin utgångspunkt i TV4?s program Det Okända, 2009. Valet av programmet Det Okända blev ett naturligt val för mig då jag tidigare följt programmet under några säsonger i syfte att ta del av det utbud av ockultism som finns i massmedia, för att bredda min kunskap inom ämnet ur det perspektiv som ges i media.
