The purpose of this master thesis is to investigate how nearby forests affect the energy production in wind turbines. To reach the purpose a case study is performed on three wind turbines sited on a field in a north-south line at Andersfält in the municipality of Halmstad, Sweden. Approximately 100 meters south of the southern wind turbine a forest is situated. The case study is divided into three sub studies where the difference in energy production, the affect of the forest and a wind meteorology model, WAsP, is studied. The result show that the forest have a significant influence and that the WAsP-model gives an incorrect result of the energy production in wind turbines sited near a forest..

Objectivity is often emphasized as one of the fundamental principles for the auditing profession and is also a requirement for preserving satisfactory professional practice.

Avgörande för ett företags framgång är att genom varumärken differentiera sig från konkurrenters alternativ på marknaden. I samband med ett varumärke är positionering i konsumenters medvetande en viktig aspekt då varumärkets position avspeglar konsumenters uppfattningar. Med uppsatsen avser vi undersöka hur en ompositionering av ett varumärke kan påverka konsumenters uppfattningar. Vi analyserar ompositioneringens påverkan med hjälp av att utveckla immateriella dimensioner av brand equity som varumärkesmedvetenhet, upplevd kvalitet och märkesassociationer. Vi har valt att uppfylla syftet genom att använda oss av ett fallföretag.

Corporate Social Responsibility, CSR, kan förklaras som ett företags frivilliga samhällsansvar, där grunden för ett lyckat arbete handlar om att finna balans mellan ekonomiskt, miljömässigt och socialt ansvarstagande. Företagen ska inte bara fokusera på dess lönsamhet, utan också bidra till etisk social och miljömässig förbättring, faktorer som idag har blivit en självklarhet för att bidra till en hållbar utveckling men också för att bygga, stärka och bevara varumärket. Ett varumärke anses ofta vara ett företags främsta tillgång vilket också kan skapa värde för ett företag och på så sätt ses som en konkurrensfördel. Företagets varumärkesimage är i sin tur kundens uppfattning om varumärket och är något kunden skapar på en egen hand. En varierande bild av företaget kan då uppstå, eftersom individer har olika uppfattningar om ett varumärke.Gina Tricot är det företag som ligger i fokus för studien då vi anser att de är ett välkänt varumärke inom fast fashion branschen.

 In light of the resent surge in globalization, and the heightened competition that follows as a result of this, there has been an increase in the importance that is placed into understanding buyer behaviour. This increase has been seen since the realization that by building strong customer relationships it is much easier to reach these through the marketing communications that are put in effect. There are also a number of upsides to enlisting the customers at an early stage in product development, such as creating greater value and a stronger sense of involvement.Röhnisch is therefore trying to show a genuine interest in supplying the costumers needs as they adapt and evolve. In order to accomplish this strive towards gaining a deeper understanding into the thoughts and attitudes that precedes the buying behaviour they conduct regular surveys. To complement this, the purpose of this paper will be to determine the actual preferences and buying behaviour of the market segment that Röhnisch has chosen for themselves, and while doing so, keeping an emphasis on loyalty.

The purpose of this research is to examine the implications of the provisions in the Swedish Code of Corporate Governance (the Code) concerning auditor attestation of the internal control report. We will focus on how the auditors? augmented responsibilities will affect the efficiency in the audit process.Our research indicates that the main benefit from reviewing the internal control report is achieving more reliable internal controls, which results in greater prevention of misstatements in the financial statements. This will affect the efficiency in the audit process since the auditor can place more reliance on internal controls when performing audit procedures. This implies that the benefits of preventing misstatements could outweigh the efforts and resources spent on reviewing the internal control report..

Syftet med denna uppsats är att ge en inblick i elevledda utvecklingssamtal som praktik samt att återge en nyanserad och omfattande bild av denna praktik. Vår uppsats ämnar besvara följande frågeställningar:? Vad kännetecknar elevens roll som ?samtalsledare? i ett elevlett utvecklingssamtal ochhur hanterar eleven denna roll?? Vad kännetecknar förälderns roll i ett elevlett utvecklingssamtal och hur hanterarföräldern den rollen?? Hur hanteras prat om problem utifall sådana situationer uppstår?Metoden vi använt oss av är att lyssna på och transkribera för uppsatsen relevanta och intressanta delar av vårt material vilket består av inspelade elevledda utvecklingssamtal. Den analysmodell vi brukat är fallanalys. Vår analysmodell, och tillika teoretiska anknytning, utgörsäven av tillämpad Conversastion Analysis.Vårt resultat pekar på att eleven undantagsvis ?tillåts? agera samtalsledare fullt ut, utan att lärare och föräldrar erövrar denna uppgift, vilket i somliga fall leder till att eleven måste försvara sin roll.
