Problematisering:E-handeln är en av globaliseringens och informationsteknologins frukter. Denna konstant utvecklandes affärsområde innebär många fördelar för dess aktörer. Trots detta existerar det svårigheter kring dess kundserviceaspekt. Det är denna faktor som utgör uppsatsens centrala studieämne. Syfte: Uppsatsens ändamål är att förstärka våra kunskaper av e-handeln, sett ur en service management perspektiv.

The use of transrectal ultrasonography of the uterus is a fairly new method for early pregnancy diagnosis. In the present study 40 cows and 10 heifers were examined 16, 19, 22 and 25 days after artificial insemination to decide on what day an accurate pregnancy diagnosis could be made under field conditions. A 5 and 7,5 MHz transducer were used in all examinations in order to determine wheter one of them was better for the present purpose. The animals were also examined for clinical signs of oestrus. The results shows that an accurate pregnancy diagnosis "not pregnant" was easier to make on day 22 than on day 25 since most of the not pregnant cows then were in heat.

In 2006, Stora Enso Skog implemented an education program in water management for harvester operators, timber purchasers, cut block planners and supervisors. The focus of the program was creating stream crossings with minimal harm to the stream and the surrounding riparian area. This main purpose of this study was to determine the difference in work procedures before and after participating in the program. The methodology consisted of field studies and interviews with harvester operators and their supervisors. The field study looked at how the streams had been crossed concerning the number of crossings, visible damage to the stream and/or the riparian area made by the machines. Biological parameters such as the width and dept of the stream and amount of large woody debris in the stream were also measured. The field result from 30 harvesting sites showed no significant difference between sites that had been harvested before or after the education program. But the harvester operators and their supervisors experienced an increased concern for watersheds after the educational program.

Laws, regulations and generally accepted accounting principles hold options on how companies should recognize revenue. Generally accepted accounting principles are determined by standard-setting bodies as the Accounting Standards Board and the Financial Supervisory Authority, which is influenced by international standard-setting bodies as the IASB. Service revenue is generally recognized when performance is completed, but there are variations in when a performance is considered complete. The different accounting options available create difficulties in comparing companies over time and between companies, which in turn creates difficulties to achieve a true and fair view. By clarifying what methods and principles in accounting for service income the unlisted companies in Sweden are using and why these differences exist, we have been able to study how the comparability and the true and fair view is affected by these differences. The aim was to study the underlying factors that companies do their financial report differently.

The aim of this study was to find out how journalism students at two universities in Sweden, Gothenburg University and Linnaeus University in Kalmar, use the social networking service Twitter. We were primarily interested in whether the students are using Twitter as a journalistic tool, which includes gathering, production and distribution of material. The study focused on journalism students because they soon will enter the working life and therefore can provide an indication of whether Twitter is a part of the future of journalism. We have used theories of mass communication to describe the development in the area and explore how journalism has adapted to this change. The study was conducted in the form of a survey in which the students answered questions about how they use Twitter and what they think about the social networking service.

Uppsatsens huvudsakliga syfte är att undersöka dels vilket rättsområde som skall användas vid hyresberäkning av gemensamhetsytor vid särskilt boende, dels vilket stöd i lagstiftning, prejudikat eller doktrin som finns för att använda sig av antingen 12 kap. JB (hyreslagen) eller lagen om stöd och service till vissa funktionshindrade (LSS) i hyresättning av gemensamhetsytor. Jag har avgränsat mig till LSS boende med inriktning mot hyressättning av gemensamhetsytor. I uppsatsen presenteras hyreslagen, socialtjänstlagen och lagen om stöd och service till vissa funktionshindrade och deras relation till särskilda boenden. Litteraturstudier och intervjuer ligger till grund för uppsatsen.

Serviceverkstaden vid Metso Paper Sundsvall AB, det vill säga Metso Paper Sundsvall Service Workshop, reparerar och servar maskindetaljer för pappersmassaindustrin. Reparationsbehoven är till viss del svåra att förutspå, vilket gör verksamheten svår att planera och prognostisera. Under åren har det byggts upp flera olika system som stöd för verksamheten vilket gör att beredning och planering av produktionen är relativt omständligt att utföra. Under hösten 2003 påbörjades ett förändringsarbete vilket ska leda till att ledtiderna kortas samt att resurser ska kunna frigöras för den enhet som idag arbetar med planering och beredning. För att förenkla det omständliga arbetet med att planera och bereda produktionen efterfrågas ett enkelt, flexibelt och användarvänligt systemstöd.

The amendment of a law which is expected to come may well have a significant impact on the Swedish real-estate broke market. The law change will probably have an effect in the number of ways real-estate brokers will compete as a result of the increasing variety of services offered. In order to gain competitive advantages brokers must be at the forefront in the development regarding the changing market. To do so requires that the company chooses an appropriate range of peripheral services that are profitable. The problem is to choose the ?right? services to convey. The purpose of this paper is to describe the services that are in demand for transmission and how the agents can work to meet the demand of this new market.

Quality is the key to a well executed product or service. The construction industry hasn?t highlighted the quality in recent times which have contributed to the construction industry receiving much criticism in the field. The public sees it as an offhanded industry where errors and delays are common.The reason for this is considered to be primarily the lack of time, constant pressure to reduce costs and skills and the ability to communicate between the parties about what the correct quality really means. The industry has begun to realize that it must start setting clearer standards and that there are great opportunities for improvement.This report will give Peab an opportunity to develop their quality work.

Upprinnelsen till denna fallstudie är berättelsen om en konsument som efter lång tids övervägande bestämt sig för att inhandla en mobiltelefon av ett specifikt varumärke. Efter att ha besökt butiken, där han övertalats av en säljare, finner han sig vara nybliven ägare av en helt annan mobiltelefon och ett annat varumärke än vad han ursprungligen önskade. Säljaren påverkade konsumenten att köpa en mobiltelefon av ett märke som denne själv föredrar. Vad beror det på? Fallstudiens problematik koncentreras på relationen mellan tillverkaren och återförsäljaren på den svenska mobiltelefonmarknaden.

The aim of this study is to establish an understanding of how the concept educational materials can be interpreted, as well as to investigate how teachers describe their use of educational materials. The focus of this study is the subject ?Sign Language for the hearing?, at the upper secondary level. We, the authors of this essay, both have a great personal interest in this language. Swedish Sign Language is the sign language mainly used in Sweden.

Service recovery innebär företags försök att uppväga kunders negativa reaktioner på ett misslyckande vid leverans av en tjänst. Det här är ett relativt välutforskat ämne, men fokus är nästan uteslutande på kunden och hur den ska hanteras. Kundperspektivet är dock bara en av tre delar som ingår i service recovery. Förutom att göra kunderna nöjda, behöver företag arbeta aktivt med att förbättra processerna samt ge medarbetarna rätt förutsättningar för att hantera misslyckanden och därefter återhämta sig. Det sistnämnda, kallat employee recovery, upplever vi ha blivit bortprioriterat och nonchalerat i en majoritet av tidigare forskning inom service recovery.

To make it easier for forestry planning the forest owners needs data which describe characteristics of the forest. Such data you usually get from some type of inventory. A relatively new technology which probably is getting more important in the future, is laser scanning because of lower costs. But because the laser technology is relatively new you need to compare it with conventional inventory technologies to get better understanding of the possibilities the laser technology gives. This work intends to estimate field measured characteristics of the forest from laser data with help of regression analysis and then see which of the field measured properties that best could be estimated and which laser variables that gave the best results. This study shows that heights has the best estimates, but biomass, diameter and volume also gives good estimates.

I uppsatsen behandlas frågeställningarna: Går det finna ett gemensamt sound hos musiken som spelas i P3? Och hur ser P3:s tablå ut under en vecka? Dessa frågeställningar undersöks för att ge en bild av den musik som spelas i P3 som är Sveriges Radios ungdomskanal. Frågorna undersöks genom att utgå från tidigare forskning i ämnet, information från P3:s hemsida samt genom djupgående analyser av sju låtar från de artister som spelades mest under vecka 46 år 2010. Analyserna utformas utifrån Gunnar Ternhags gehörsbaserade analysmetod. Även Lars Lilliestams gehörsbaserade analysmetoder av rock och blues används.Analyserna presenteras först låt för låt och sedan sammanfattas likheter och skillnader hos musiken som spelas.

AbstractThis essay aims to problematize and illuminate the connection between special-education and nature-based activities. With a theoretical ground that is based upon a sociocultural perspective I consider the information from the field. Through a qualitative and critical perspective I performed individual interviews with five pupils from the sixth school-year in the Swedish elementary-school. I also performed Focus-group interviews with two educators and three teachers in the same school-form. By a Hermeneutical working-method I have found out that the informants in my survey have a common experience that activities performed in nature has a positive effect on learning.
