In this thesis we have examined why the establishment process of travel destination is essential for the tour operators and how the process can be influenced by different conditions.

Denna rapport behandlar vårt examensarbete som genomfördes i samarbete med Metso Dynapac. Uppdraget bestod av att ta fram ett högmonterat avgassystem för jordpackningsmaskinerna CA 252/302/402-Vibratory Roller. Dagens avgassystemsystem är bakåtmonterat och slutar under och bakom kylaren. Ett högmonterat avgassystem finns som tillbehör och fästes på det bakåtmonterade systemet. Problemet är att befintlig ljuddämparplacering försvårar kylluftens passage genom motorrummet,vilket får till följd att en onödigt stor fläkt krävs för att få tillräckligt luftflöde genom kylaren.

This essay deals with the ideas of social change in the Iron Gates Gorge site of Lepenski Vir during the Mesolithic. The change from a mainly fish-based subsistence strategy to a strategy that came to rely more on hunting and later domesticated animals could have been the onset of the social change that is noticeable in the material culture from the site. Theessay is divided in two main segments. The first consists of a case-study based on three themes that describes and searches for changes in the subsistence-, settlement- and burialpractises during the Mesolithic and beginning of the Neolithic phases, and the second part analyses the results from the case-study. It is primarily the idea of transformations and reproductions of traditions that will be dealt with in the analysis which is facilitated by a theoretic structure based on and inspired by the works of Emilé Durkheim and Anthony Giddens..

This study focuses on the booking agencies in Sweden and their point of view on the reality with a focal point from the mass media perspective, which says that they have become rather wealthy because of the changes within the music business.

Vårt syfte med uppsatsen är att konkretisera och analysera vad förändringen i form av komponentavskrivningar som huvudregel innebär och hur den kan komma att påverka företagen.För att uppfylla syftet har vi valt att genomföra intervjuer med redovisningsspecialister, auktoriserade revisorer samt redovisningspraktiker på företag. Vi har kompletterat dessa intervjuer med frågeformulär skickade till redovisningsexpertis och genomfört en dokumentstudie av årsredovisningar. För att belysa effekterna av vår problemställning har ett ett räkneexempel genomförts.Den litteratur som använts tar upp begreppen tillgångar och dess värdering, harmoniseringen och dess utveckling samt komponentavskrivningar. Intervjuer har genomförts med personer från Deloitte, Ernst & Young, Öhrlings PricewaterhouseCoopers, Svensk-Danska Broförbindelsen SVEDAB AB, Metso AB och Sydkraft AB.
