The object of this paper is to examine the marketing of PUNKTmedis, a youth library. In order to do so we have looked at two different perspectives; how the library has marketed itself towards its target group, and how young people perceive what PUNKTmedis has to offer. The thesis? foundation is a case study. Since the question at hand concerns the library?s intentions with and execution of its marketing efforts, as well as the target group?s opinion of them, the empirical data is based partially on an interview with the head of marketing at PUNKTmedis, and partially on a target group questionnaire.

The aim of this report was to investigate the hypothesis that Norway spruce (Picea abies L. Karst), planted on poor ?Scots pine? stands will not have sustained growth during the whole rotation, due to water deficit in the closed stands. In order to investigate this hypothesis, data from 10 Norway spruce stands in southern-eastern Sweden were collected. In 10 plots in each stand, diameter and breast heights were measured on every tree.

The purpose of this research is to evaluate traditional market segmentation variables, as criticism has been directed towards these variables. Based on our problem discussion we find it motivating to undertake investigation in order to understand which connotations an ethnographic approach will provide. Methodology:We have applied an ethnographic approach, which has enabled us to attain under the surface knowledge from our respondents. Theoretical perspective:As we wanted to evaluate existing traditional segmentation variables, we decided to only include theory regarding these variables. Empirical data:In order to collect our data, we observed seven respondents at Ikea and conducted observations and in-depth interviews in their homes.

Den svenska sjukvården har kritiserats för att vara ineffektiv och trots tidigare reformer kvarstår problemen. Managementidén värdebaserad vård utvecklades som en lösning på problemen och ämnar effektivisera sjukvården genom att sätta patienten i fokus. Eftersom värdebaserad vård är utvecklad för den amerikanska sjukvården syftar den här studien till att undersöka hur idén har tagits emot i en svensk sjukvårdskontext. Detta undersöktes på avdelningen för brännskadade vid Akademiska sjukhuset. Teorin om översättning användes för att analysera hur idén förändrats genom individernas egna tolkningar, och teorin om särkoppling användes för att utreda huruvida den planerade förändringen fungerat i praktiken.Resultat: Flera komponenter i värdebaserad vård hade tagits bort under planeringsstadiet, de flesta på grund av att det svenska systemets utformning inte medgav dessa förändringar.

Overweight and obesity in children is an extensive and accelerating problem in the western world. The risk factors for overweight are well- known and well-documented. Focus should lie in the prophylactic work in order to prevent overweight and obesity in preschool children. The aim of our study has been to highlight the role of the district nurse in her/his work to prevent overweight and obesity in preschool children. The study was carried out through studies as a literature review.

Our essay is about children's exercise of power, oppression or domination in games or when playing on school grounds with one and other. We thought it would be interesting to look into how children in preschool and up to the fifth grade use power acts respective power plays in leisure-time. During four days we visited two different after-school center and carried out observations of children during the school day and later inside the recreation centers during leisure activities. In order to analyze our empirical material in relation to power, we have used Magnus Hörnqvist (2012) interpretation of Michel Foucault's theory of power - Another Foucault. We have also used Åsa Bartholdsson (2008) thesis about The regular exercise of power regime ? about normality and power in school.

The aim of this thesis was twofold, on the one hand to compile a set of usability and accessibility guidelines in order to establish the characteristics of a user friendly website, and on the other to test these guidelines on eight library webcourses with user education to see how well they adhered to the guidelines. The methods used were literature survey and source studies. The guidelines found in the literature survey were divided into four different categories: document properties, structure and navigability, visual characteristics and accessibility. In order to establish the adequacy of the guidelines, I examined reference sources, mostly on the web. To a certain extent this examination has been based on HCI Human-Computer interaction theories.

Wind power is one of the sources of renewable energy which has to be developed further in order to lessen our dependence on non renewable sources of energy. It's mainly oil and coal which have to be replaced by green energy. Wind power is already established in many countries, for example Germany, The United States of America and Denmark but it has to be continually developed and expanded to meet the needs of the growing energy consumption in the world. During the last few years many types of small wind turbines have appeared on the market. These small wind turbines are an alternative to the big wind turbines or power generators which demand huge sums of investment money.A new target group can now buy the small wind turbines in order to cover their own usage of electricity.

This exam work project strives to investigate different roles a teacher can adapt to in classroom situations. The focus is on three different types, gained from a dissertation made by Evelyn Säll where she has investigated teacher students? opinions about the teacher?s role. These types are:the Dramatist, the Director and the Illuminator, and five teachers are defined accordingly. Questionnaires and observations are used as a tool in order to come to a conclusion.

Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är att belysa vilken betydelse kontraktsformulering och val av kontraktstyp har för ett outsourcinginitiativs framgång utifrån ett kundperspektiv.Teori: Studiens teoretiska referenser består av agentteorin, transaktionskostnadsteorin, teorin om ofullständiga kontrakt samt en omfattande litteraturgenomgång om kontrakt. Agentteorin behandlar hur det mest effektiva kontraktet bör utformas mellan två parter. I transaktionskostnadsteorin diskuteras de omständigheter och kostnader som uppstår då en aktivitet avslutas hos en part och påbörjas hos en annan. Teorin om ofullständiga kontrakt förklarar svårigheten med att kontraktsmässigt behandla framtida oförutsägbara händelser, och genom litteraturgenomgången framkom fem kontraktstyper samt fem faktorer vilka ansågs ha en avgörande betydelse för kontraktsformulering.Metod: En surveyundersökning i form av ett webbformulär utfördes. Urvalet bestod av de 125 företag som ingår i börslistan small cap.

Fall accidents are a big problem in the construction industry today and stand forapproximately 23% of all accidents. Skanska is a construction company that has avision toachieve zero accidents. Eliminating fall accidents is one step on the way towards theirvision. The state of Skanskas fall safety has been analyzed in this thesis to show whichimprovements are possible in fall safety.A literature study has been performed in which Arbetsmiljöverkets (The Swedishwork environment authority?s) laws and rules, together with Skanskas own rules havebeen studied.

Syftet för studien är att beskriva hur samverkan sker mellan förskola och förskoleklass samt vilka förväntningar förskollärare i förskolan och lärare i förskoleklass har på varann. För det syftet lyftes olika förväntningar på samverkan mellan förskolan och förskoleklassen, som sedan speglades mot de lagar och förordningar som de båda skolformerna lyder under. Processen har föranletts av kvalitativa intervjuer. Den teoretiska utgångspunkten ligger i den sociokulturella teorin som företrädes av ryske psykologen Lev S. Vygotskij.

Background: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease that mainly strikes young people in working age, twice as many women than men falls ill.

This fatigue is experienced of many as one of the most difficult symptoms, which has considerable impact on the everyday life. Aim: The aim with the study was to elucidate how MS-related fatigue was experienced by persons with MS. Method: The study has been implemented as a literature study through systematic review of scientific articles.

District heating covers around 80 % of the heating demand in apartment buildings and 10 % in single-family homes in Sweden. In the year 2010 the total input of energy to the Swedish district heating grids was about 70 TWh, which corresponds to 11 % of the total energy input to the whole energy system in the country. Through the combined production of heat and power the CHP-plants often reaches an efficiency of 90 % from energy in the fuel to produced heat and power. In order to keep the efficiency high it is important for the owners of the plant to have good knowledge about the plants performance at different operation points. Strängnäs Energi AB initiated this diploma work together with FVB Sverige ab in order to come up with a program for short term planning of the production of heat and power at the company´s CHP-plant.The work consists of three main parts.
