The study of medicinal plants is a popular subject that, at least in the archaeological sciences, has met a lot of criticism due to the lack of physical data. It is problematic to distinguish the medicinal plants from local flora since many herbs that were used often could be found in the nearby vegetation.  The purpose of this essay is to archaebotanically analyze samples from the medieval town Nya Lödöse and compare the data with a previous analysis from the site and a literature study. The herbs meadowsweet (Filipendula ulmaria), lady?s mantle (Alchemilla sp.), sweet gale (Myrica gale), hop (Humulus lupulus), common tormentil (Potentilla erecta), St. John?s wort (Hypericum perforatum), henbane (Hyoscyamus niger), catnip (Nepeta cataria) and motherwort (Leonurus cardiaca) have been selected for closer analysis since they occur with frequency in the historical medicinal texts and in previous analysis made on the site.

Under många år har shopping betraktats som en kvinnlig aktivitet, men allt fler män har börjat visa intresse för mode. Då målgruppen vuxit har även detaljhandeln fått expandera, och det ses som viktigt att förstå konsumenter och hur de fattar beslut. Konsumentbeteende beskrivs som en process där konsumenter väljer och köper produkter för att tillgodose sina behov. På grund av den traditionella synen på shopping har manligt köpbeteende varit ett bortprioriterat forskningsområde. Den forskning som har bedrivits har främst fokuserat på unga manliga konsumenter utifrån kvantitativa metoder, varav mer djupgående studier saknas på äldre män och deras köpbeslutsprocess.

Uppsatsens syfte är att studera hur tre butikschefer och en centrumledare i gallerian Smedjan, Luleå, ser på upplevelsehandel och värdeskapande i butiker. Denna studie är kvalitativ med hermeneutiskt förhållningssätt och abduktiv ansats. För att kunna besvara forskningsfrågan, uppfylla syftet och förstå den empiriska forskningen använde jag mig av en rad olika källor. Jag har intervjuat tre butikschefer i köpcentret Smedjan i Luleå centrum samt centrumledaren för Smedjan.Denna studie har visat att förutom professionellt bemötande från butikspersonal så har det lilla extra, det som kunder upplever är värdeskapande, blivit något som butikschefer också uppmärksammat. Det kan vara kläder som exponeras på nytänkande sätt, en medarbetare som bemött en kund med empati, kunskap och förståelse eller ett överraskningsmoment i butiken som väcker förtjusning hos kunden.
