The strategy when you change the visual part of the brand identity is often referred to as Corporate rebranding and is seen as a good way to show that a company has undergone a change.

This phenomenon is what underlies this essay?s problem statement: Why does a company with an already well-known graphic profile choose to change it and how does the process behind the change occur? In what way have the company?s customers recognized the change and how has the company?s image changed in this context? The purpose of this essay is therefore to explore the process that occurs when a company in the sport and fashion industry changes its visual identity and to explore how the company?s customers have perceived the change.To fulfil the purpose of the essay a case study was carried out on a company?s Corporate rebranding process. The company that was chosen was the Swedish sports retail chain Stadium Sweden AB who decided to change its graphic profile even though their logo was one of the two most recognized in their field.

Malignt melanom är en av de tio vanligaste cancerformerna. Insjuknandet har ökat på grund av ändrade sol- och resvanor. Utvecklingen beror främst på UV-strålningen från solen samt ökad användning av solarier. Idag är det främst de yngre kvinnorna som insjuknar. Det gäller att diagnostisera malignt melanom i ett tidigt stadie, då det ger en bättre förutsättning för överlevnaden.

Introduktion: Invandringen ökar konstant till Sverige och att vara född utanför Norden anses vara den största riskfaktorn för försämrad tandhälsa. Flera orala sjukdomar är en konsekvens av bristande munhygien, bakteriella beläggningar och tobaksbruk.Syfte: Syftet med studien var att kartlägga upplevelsen av den egna munhälsan, kunskapen om munhälsa, munhygienvanor samt tobaksvanor hos en grupp invandrare.Frågeställningar: Vilka är dessa personers munhygienvanor? Vilka är dessa personers tobaksvanor? Vilken kunskap har dessa personer vad gäller sjukdomsuppkomst och prevention beträffande karies, gingivit och parodontit? Hur upplever dessa personer sin individuella munhälsa?Metod: En enkätundersökning genomfördes på en skola i Stockholm som undervisar i svenska för invandrare (SFI). Totalt deltog 56 individer i undersökningen.Resultat: Resultatet visade en varierande kunskapsnivå gällande orala sjukdomars uppkomst och prevention. Beträffande munhygienvanor uppger 48,1 % att de borstar tänderna två gånger dagligen och 80,8 % använder tandkräm innehållande fluor.

The aim of this study was to understand how social workers perceive and understand violence and threats of violence from clients, and how it effect their working environment. It seems that the respondents understand the violence and threats of violence from clients as a result of the clients background problems, vulnerability, dependency and from ?the reason" that the client is currently in the contact with the organization. How respondents interpret the client´s behaviour based on the above-mentioned factors, seem to determine how the respondents perceive and define the violence and threats of violence by clients directed against them. Interestingly enough, although all respondents in the study experienced violence and threats of violence from clients, none of them perceived themselves as exposed at work. The answer to this is consensual.

This study examinates technology's traumatic impact on the male subject in The Atrocity Exhibition by J.G. Ballard. In my analysis I show how the protagonist uses a fetischistic strategy in order to make sense of the trauma that technology embeds. Paradoxically it proves to be the agent of his trauma, but also functions as his shield. The machine is thus in a position of the hinge, the point in a structural system that both enables and deconstruct the system.

Background and problemThe Swedish mobile market is highly competitive despite the oligopoly that currently exists. A short product life cycle together with fads and new innovations puts pressure on the operators to respond to the ever changing environment and to develop and adapt their strategies after it.As a previous study regarding a specific operator?s strategy was cancelled due to the extensive confidentiality surrounding it, an interest was sparked to perform an industry analysis as this is clearly something the actors spend a great deal of time on developing. The launch of the 4G network will offer new opportunities for the operators regarding products services. It may also impact the competition on the overall market.PurposeThe purpose of this thesis is to present a deep analysis of the industry and give the reader a comprehensive picture of existing conditions.

Abstract Background: The World Health Organization has expressed a great concern about the increasing prevalence of childhood obesity. Region Västra Götaland (VGR) has developed a web based program to support school nurses in their work to promote health among children with obesity. Previous research on childhood obesity emphasizes the importance of support from nurses and how their work is organized. Aim: The aim of the study is, firstly, to explore school nurses experiences with health promotion work among obese children. Secondly, to investigate whether school nurses use the salutogenic theory of health.

This paper investigates whether the traditional accrual based trading strategy first documented by Sloan (1996) can be refined using fundamental analysis. Specifically, this is done by implementing the composite signal F_SCORE introduced by Piotroski (2000) to identify financially strong or weak firms. We find that by applying both investment models simultaneously, in a model we call P_KOMB, the mean market-adjusted return earned by an investor exploiting the accrual anomaly can be increased by 14.8% annually. This is achieved by taking a long position in strong firms (as defined by the composite signal) in the lowest accrual portfolio, while an offsetting short position is taken in weak firms in the highest accrual portfolio, repeated annually between 1997 and 2007. Consistent with prior studies, positive market-adjusted returns can be attained through assessment of accruals as well as key value drivers found in historical financial data.
