Titel: Produktexponering på sociala medier - en studie om hur bloggar och Snapchat påverkar konsumenters inköpsbeslut.Nivå: C-uppsats i ämnet företagsekonomiFörfattare: Maya Sundlöf och Malin LundHandledare: Jonas KågströmDatum: 2015 Syfte: Vårt syfte är att undersöka om konsumenters inköpsbeslut och val av varumärke påverkas av exponering av produkter på bloggar respektive Snapchat. Syftet med studien är att undersöka om konsumenter blir påverkade av kända personers produktexponeringar på deras bloggar och på deras Snapchat.  Metod: I studien genomfördes ett experiment med 98 deltagare som var uppdelade i fyra experimentgrupper. I studien blev en experimentgrupp exponerad av produkter från blogginlägg och en annan experimentgrupp blev exponerad av produkter från bloggares Snapchat. I resterande två experimentgrupper tillämpades defaulteffekten för att se om det skulle påverka deras val av varumärke. Resultat & slutsats: Resultatet visar att Snapchat är den typ av social media som personer i större utsträckning blir påverkade av vid produktexponeringar. Bloggar påverkar i större utsträckning ett inköpsbeslut när kända personer ger rekommendationer.

Detta projekt undersöker platser och deras identiteter. Projektet syftar till att skapa en katalysator för en välbehövlig diskussion om platser, tillhörighet, identitet och demokrati genom att med grafisk design visuellt gestalta tio delområden i Malmös respektive identiteter och personligheter. En förändring kan komma först efter en insikt. Projektet utgår från en litteraturstudie i ämnet place branding. I denna upptäcks en metod för att analysera städers varumärken City Brands Index. Denna metod modifieras och används tillsammans med en enkätundersökning för att värdera varumärkena hos projektets tio delområden.

Bakgrund: De flesta personer känner väl till namn som Madonna, Britney Spears eller Michael Jordan. Deras offentliga yrkesutövning och det faktum att de ofta syns i media, gör att dessa personer många gånger betraktas som kommersiella produkter. De är personer vars namn marknadsförs intensivt. De har skapat sig ett personligt varumärke. Denna förekomst förenat med varumärkesstrategi, föder tanken om varumärkesuppbyggnad i ett annat sammanhang, där vi istället för produkter pratar om individer.

The paper's purpose has evolved during the process of researching and writing it. In the beginning it was to investigate if art and culture could increase the strength and knowledge of a brand and if there existed a knowledge about this amongst Swedish companies, situated in Stockholm. During the process the purpose has evolved into exploring the type of companies that acknowledge this and those that don't. By using Bourdieu's terminology and tools, the reasons behind the use of art has been analyzed.The paper employs an explorative approach by accessing data through interviews and public data provided by the Internet through web pages and government files.The paper comes to the conclusion that what Holt calls cultural branding has not evolved, when looking at the companies that are accurate for this study. Out of 24 companies only one comes close to observing socio cultural movements through the arts.

With the collapse of the Soviet Union and the 9/11 attacks, the landscape of the freedom of religion has changed. The issues now facing freedom of religion varies greatly from the issues that the drafters of the universal declaration of human rights faced after World War II.In the light of the new issues that States face in the intersection of religion and societal interest, scholars have criticized the European Court of Human Rights to give too much leeway to the States in determining how the human rights should be implemented, by using the doctrine of margin of appreciation. Critics of the margin of appreciation claim that it is based on culture relativism and that the doctrine undermines the universality of the human rights. In order to decide if the margin of appreciation has indeed led to a relativization of the human rights I compared it to the jurisprudence of the UN Human Rights Committee and its use of the Syracusa principles. My conclusion is that the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights cannot be considered to be based on culture relativism.

Bakgrund: En bransch där det i nuläget syns ett ökat behov av personal är förskoleverksamheten, vilket bland annat beror på pensionsavgångar. Det är dock idag inte lika många som utbildar sig till förskollärare med konsekvensen att det råder personalbrist inom förskolan. Friskolereformen har också medfört att det råder en konkurrenssituation mellan kommunala förskolor och privata alternativ. Detta gör att det är betydligt viktigare för arbetsgivare att vara attraktiva, då de sökande kan ställa högre krav på både arbetsgivare och arbetsplats. Det finns alltså fler lediga jobb än det finns förskollärare.Syfte: Syftet är att skapa kunskap om och förståelse kring hur förskollärarstudenter uttrycker att en attraktiv arbetsgivare bör vara och vilka faktorer de värderar högst vid val av arbetsplats och arbetsgivare.

Directive 2006/54/EG from the European Union concerns the equal rights between men and woman and the principle of equal rights. The purpose of the directive is that the member states provide the equal rights between men and woman. Affirmative action is one exception from the principle of equal rights which is settled in directive 2006/54/EG, article 3. The purpose for the affirmative action must be to encourage the equal rights between men and women.EU has specific criteria to use affirmative action, which is created by praxis of the Court of Justice of the European Union. These criteria are that the affirmative action must involve an objective assessment, there must be equal qualifications between the person which is affirmative action and the person who is not, the positive action cannot be automatically decisive and this special treatment should be proportionate to the purpose.
