Since 2007, I´ve been working in the steel industry in a place called ?SSAB?. That?s why itseemed right to contact them for this thesis.The SSAB concern is global, but SSAB Sweden involves raw steel producing in Luleå, heavyplate producing in Oxelösund, and sheet metal producing in Borlänge..

Temporary architecture is an alternative urban planning concept which has been adapted in many cities worldwide during the last decade. There is however no common definition for temporary architecture and it is diversely labelled and applied. In 2013 it also became publicly introduced in Stockholm via the approval of the city's first architectural guideline. Temporary architecture is presented in the guideline as a potential tool for exploring public spaces among other architecture related themes. The ideas for temporary architecture are ambitious and promising. The problem is that they are vague and leaves questions regarding performance unanswered.

The aim of this thesis is to investigate and increase the understanding of a present function of today´s public library, namely the function of meeting place; here called the social function or social space. Two small town libraries are included in the study, and the questions examined are:How is this function described at the two libraries and what similarities and differences are there between the two? How can one describe the relation between how the library as social space is described in research and at the libraries? The theoretical framework used in examining these questions, consists of three different discourses in culture policy (the discourse of state, market and civil society) and theories on civil society and the public library. A summary of current research makes visible eight different aspects of the public library as a social space. These aspects functions as parts of the theoretical framework as well.

In this paper, I design a new concept for a patio at Hotel and Restaurant Villa Anna in Odinslund, Uppsala, Sweden. Through this design, I examine how urban farming can thrive in a restaurant-context. The purpose of the design is to give the visitor a sense of the core values of the cuisine and to strengthen the sense of place by storytelling. My methods are comprised of a literature study on urban farming and storytelling as well as a discussion with the res-taurateur Rafael Löfstedt. I create a story of the place by examining its historical background and connect it to the current philosophy of the Villa Anna restaurant.

The main purpose of this master thesis is to investigate how six elderly individuals, 65-75 years old, use and perceive Internet in their everyday life. The focus in this study is to enlighten elderly people as Internet-users.In 2010 many elderly people are still digital excluded. In Europe and in Sweden efforts are made to educate citizens to use the Internet, and that benefits of the digital society should be available to all.This study is based on the following questions: what made the informants take an interest in the Internet in the first place? How and for what purpose do they use it? And how do the informants regard to their own Internet usage and its importance in society?We interviewed six people aged 65-75 years old, using semi-structured questions. The data was analyzed by using the theory developed by Hektor concerning Internet and information behaviour in everyday life.

Inledning: Modebranschen har en g?ng i tiden betraktats som att vara h?llbar d? det exempelvis producerades plagg i sm? kvantiteter. Chinnaduraim (2023) konstaterar att modeindustrin har gjort betydande framsteg inom h?llbart mode, men hon p?pekar att det ?terst?r mycket arbete. Vilka ?tg?rder kan modef?retag vidta f?r att fr?mja h?llbar utveckling inom branschen? F?r att fr?mja h?llbar utveckling inom modebranschen ?r det avg?rande att modef?retag engagerar sig inom de centrala teman: Cirkul?r Fashion, Greenwashing och Grassroot Movement. Syfte: Studiens syfte ?r att unders?ka hur modef?retag kan jobba med h?llbar utveckling inom modebranschen. Metod: En kvalitativ metod har till?mpats d?r studiens datainsamling best?r av semi-strukturerade intervjuer samt offline observationer. Slutsats: V?ra resultat tyder p? att modef?retag borde till?mpa CF-modellen d? den p?pekar hur modef?retag borde endast v?lja ett typ av material f?r att underl?tta kl?dernas demonteringsprocess.

Studiens syfte var att beskriva och analysera i vilken utsträckning och hur de 50 största svenska företagen använder sociala medier i arbetet med deras arbetsgivarvarumärke gentemot studenter och andra potentiella arbetstagare.Det är en beskrivande studie som använt en flerfaldig forskningsstrategi där kvantitativ innehållsanalys, kvalitativ innehållsanalys och semi-strukturerade intervjuer använts för att uppnå studiens syfte.Resultatet visade att användandet av sociala medier i arbetet med deras arbetsgivarvarumärke gentemot potentiella arbetstagare är lågt bland Sveriges 50 största företag. Endast 18 av dessa använder någon form av social media i detta syfte, och när det kommer till de företag som endast vänder sig till studenter är det endast 4 företag av 50. Men det står under ständig utveckling, både till antalet företag som använder det och sett till hur det används. Olika typer av sociala medier bidrar med olika möjligheter för att stärka arbetsgivarvarumärket, vilket stödjer forskning som menar på att en kombination av flera rekryteringsaktiviteter ger bäst effekt.Förslag till fortsatt forskning är att utföra en liknande studie om något år för att kunna följa utvecklingen i detta ämne. Även en förklarande studie för att förklara vilka effekter sociala medier har för arbetsgivarvarumärket vore av vetenskapligt intresse.Detta är den första beskrivande studien som undersöker i vilken utsträckning och hur sociala medier används i arbetet arbetsgivarvarumärket gentemot potentiella arbetstagare bland ett större antal svenska företag..

In a time of fierce global competition, where an immense amount of commercial messages reaches consumers around the clock and in every conceivable context, companies constantly seek to find new ways to reach out with their product. One way to do so, that has increased in popularity in recent years, is the use of gift bags. A gift bag may contain samples, miniature products and even products in full size, as a rule from several different brands, which the recipient receives free of charge. The gift bag is typically distributed at some form of event, such as store openings, fashion shows, theme parties and the like, and the receiver of the gift bag can then evaluate the content without any obligation to purchase. The ambition of the companies that choose to participate with their products in a gift bag is, of course, that the recipient will find their products satisfactory, and ideally, that he or she will continue to consume the brand in the future.There are numerous scientific research contributions related to the use of free samples, but very few that concern the gift bag, where a collection of samples from different sources and brands appear.

The main purpose with this MA thesis is to examine how visually impaired, disabled and people with dyslexia define service quality at the public library of Linköping. The method that has been used is focus group interviews. A focus group consists of four to eight people who are joined together, without knowing each other before, to discuss a certain subject. The aim is to get a wide spread of answers. A secondary purpose is to examine how this method works.

In relation to the paradigm shift that took place between the marketing mix and relationship marketing, and the emergence of information technology in the 90:s, the Customer Relationship Management (CRM) has become a frequently used concept in marketing. Most definitions and approaches have been generated from previous studies, but the concept is still criticized for the number of failed implementation attempts. Along a discussion of the area has an elaborate theoretical foundation remained as the foundation for the study development and utilized in all the sections of the study. The study, with help from Gartner's eight building blocks of CRM, focus on how Swedish medium and large companies work with CRM, and if this is an indicator of the number of failed implementation attempts. The survey consists of two approaches, qualitative and quantitative, to provide both depth and generalizability of the study.

Injuries are considered to be a major public health issue. More than 4600 people die each year and 10 % of all hospitalization in Sweden is related to injuries. The cost in a societal perspective is estimated to 59 billion a year. Injuries are possible to prevent. However it needs knowledge that the injury has occurred and the surrounding circumstances.

Idag är samhället väldigt miljöinriktat och allt fler människor uppskattar ett utbud av hållbara resurser för en hållbar utveckling. Många företag tillämpar detta i sitt varumärkesbyggande jämsides med andra strategier och faktorer för att uppnå ett starkare varumärke.Vi har valt att avgränsa oss till elbolaget Telge Energi som befinner sig konkurrenspräglad bransch för att undersöka hur de byggt upp sitt varumärke. Ett av till att vi valt Telge Energi är på grund av att företaget gått ut med att de har blivit utsedda Sveriges grönaste elbolag.1Förutom att vi har god access till företaget är ytterligare ett att de även säger sig erbjuda förnyelsebar el och utmanar därmed de större konkurrenterna inom den svenska elbranschen.Med utgångspunkt i att få ökad förståelse för Telge Energis varumärkesbyggande har som mål att belysa viktiga faktorer och strategier som företaget tillämpat och som företag kan inspireras av. Dessa faktorer och strategier som vi har fastställt ur studien även försökt illustrera i en egen modell. Dessutom har vi även tagit fasta på brister i Energis varumärkesbyggande i relation till vår valda teoretiska referensram, som kan vara hjälp och användning för företaget i framtiden.Den teoretiska referensramen är främst baserad på David A.

Enligt Räddningsverkets statistik har 85 % av de svenska hushållen en fungerande brandvarnare. Hur väl fungerande dessa är efter en tid i jämförelse med nya brandvarnare är dock okänt. Därför genomfördes denna undersökning där 20 stycken brandvarnare samlades ihop från hushåll i Luleå och Boden. Dessa 20 varnare blev sedan jämförda med 12 stycken helt nya varnare. Samtliga prövades på en hastigt uppflammande brand för att simulera ett brandscenario som kan inträffa i många av de lättantändliga material som finns i de moderna hemmen.
