The aim of this paper is two-fold. Firstly, it is the production of a historical and chronological narrative describing the development of the Swedish Red Cross Hospital in Pusan during the years 1950-58. Secondly, it is the investigation of the objectives and aspirations of the organisations and institutions involved and how they affected how the hospital developed during the wartime years and up until the inauguration of the Scandinavian educational hospital, the National Medical Centre, in Seoul. Shortly after the outbreak of the Korean War in 1950 Sweden, a neutral nation, offered to send a contingent for the establishment of a 200 bed mobile field hospital which was to be subjected to the command of the Eighth US Army in Korea. In the end a larger semimobile evacuation hospital was set up in Pusan where both UN soldiers and PoWs were treated, and it came to be known as the Swedish Red Cross Hospital. The decrease in and finally the cessation of hostilities in 1953 opened up for treatment of Korean civilian patients and such work was conducted not only at the Swedish hospital but all over Pusan, though initially it was not formally sanctioned by American and UN authorities.

In Sweden, many children in compulsory school attend after-school recreation centres. All children are offered local after-school recreation centre attendance in the age 6-12 during their parents? work hours. Our aim with this Master thesis is to investigate how after-school recreation centres can use libraries to stimulate children?s own interest to read.

This is a case study of work for gender equality, performed by the Employment and Competence Centre (Arbets- och kompetenscenter) in the municipality of Botkyrka. The aim of the study is to explore how gender equality is understood in the context of a municipality, and what underlying assumptions this understanding is based upon. The questions raised are; How is gender equality understood by the personnel? How do they understand gender? To what extent are women and men seen as homogeneous groups and what differences are (un)visible? What other power hierarchies besides gender are seen as important when working for gender equality? The analysis show that gender equality is a blurry vision, mainly understood in terms of equal conditions and rights, equal results for male and female participants and equal amount of women and men employed. Gender is seen as a binary system and differences between the genders are highlighted.

The subject of this paper is the mediation of norms about sexuality, from personnel working at the Swedish ?ungdomsmottagning? (youth centre for service and counselling about sexual health), to the visiting teenagers. The purpose of the empirical study is to investigate how the staff understands the part of their work that implies giving advice about sexuality; how they work, which norms they have about youth sexuality and how they see their roll as advisers. To answer these questions, I have interviewed six staff members working at different youth centres. Three of them work as social counsellors and three as midwifes.The main area of work at the centre consists of individual appointments, but another important task is meeting with school classes visiting for purposes of study.

I Sverige sker det ständig en ökning av antal köpcentrum, vilket medför att konkurrensen om kunderna ökar. För att möta en ökande konkurrens och kunders krav har olika köpcentrumägare i allt större utsträckning börjat differentiera köpcentrumen. Syftet med vår uppsats är att undersöka hur val av inriktning påverkar utformning och strukturering av två olika köpcentrum, Triangelns Köpcentrum och Gallerian Storgatan, i Malmö. Vi ska dessutom undersöka hur differentiering och profilering påverkas beroende av deras inriktning. Beroende av inriktning är ett köpcentrum riktat till olika kundsegment. För att nå och tilltala denna kategori försöker köpcentrumets förvaltare stärka varumärket och profilera sig med hjälp av marknadsföring och utformning.

The survey Distanshandeln idag 2005, made by the Swedish postal service, tells us that web shops started to pop up in the 1990´s and began competing with the catalogue sells in the end of the decade. Ten years ago, it was said that the web shops would take over the distance trade market. Today we know that did not happen. Internet shopping accounted for 4, 2 % of all distance shopping in Sweden last year. Our inquiry is guided by the observation that the catalogue is still in use and moreover, it seems to have changed very little from when we were kids.

Människor ger mening åt sina liv genom upplevelser, ett upplevelsesamhälle har vuxit fram på grund av människans behov av meningsfulla upplevelser. Meningsfulla upplevelser beskrivs som en starkare ihållande effekt än bara en upplevelse som sådan. En ny ekonomisk faktor, upplevelseekonomi, växer fram där företag kan iscensätta minnesvärda helhetsupplevelser och guida till transformation för att differentiera sig. Människor vill ha meningsfulla upplevelser både på fritiden och på jobbet, det ställer krav på att shoppingcentrum, köpcentrum och gallerior bör hänga med i utvecklingen då shopping är en populär fritidsaktivitet.Syftet med uppsatsen är att genom en empirisk studie vid Luleås centrumgallerior belysa centrumledares uppfattningar och åsikter om deras gallerior, och utifrån det dra slutsatser om centrumgalleriorna är anpassade efter upplevelsesamhällets krav på meningsfulla upplevelser.. Uppsatsen har arbetats fram med en kvalitativ ansats.

Syftet är att göra en inventering av målgruppens resekriterier. Uppsatsen bygger på empiri som samlades in genom reseberättelser under två veckors fältstudier. Vi har använt oss av en induktiv ansats för att samla kvalitativa data. Utifrån reseberättelserna drar vi slutsatsen att de resekriterier amerikanska WHOPs efterfrågar är: kultur, autenticitet, natur, gästfrihet, rekreation, bekvämlighet, litteratur, mat och vin, shopping och äventyr..

The aim of this thesis was to analyse BARO WOOD AB:s timber measuring and quality sorting and to evaluate the analyse program Stockholmen. The purpose was to get a better understanding for the quality sorting made at BARO WOOD AB today, analyse differences in center board quality from logs with a good quality and logs with a bad quality, suggest new sorting criterias developed from analyses made with Stockholmen and to evaluate the program Stockholmen. All analyses are based on data gathered in a test sawing made at BARO WOOD AB in June and July 2002. The test sawing was made on four different diameter classes and every diameter class consisted out of A or M-grade logs, with a better quality, and B-grade logs with a lesser quality. The logs where sorted out with BARO WOOD AB:s existing quality criterias.

Många gånger missar vi det slutliga värdet i de kläder vi äger. Kan vi inte själva tänka oss att använda dem längre, slänger vi dem hellre än att ge bort dem menar Dr Dorothy Maxwell, ansvarig för den Brittiska regeringens spetsprojekt The Sustainable roadmap. En logisk följd av nykonsumtion är nyproduktion, vilket bidrar till ökade utsläpp. Klimatförändringar och andra miljöproblem utgör stora hot, som delvis kan mötas genom medvetna val från konsumenternas sida och en förändrad livsstil. Hållbar konsumtion innefattar, enligt Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan (2010), tre aspekter: miljömässigt-, ekonomiskt- och socialt hållbar.

The report describes the production of graphic correspondence and marketing material for DUCIS(Dalarna University Centre for Irish Studies).A logotype symbol is created on the basis of an element from the Celtic art, and a graphic material thatharmonies with this ideal of style is built around the symbol. A unique visiting card, correspondence cardand letterhead is produced to strengthen the identity of DUCIS outwards.The work proceeds with an international education folder which is an important element in the marketingwork for the MA-education which starts in the autumn of 2003. Two posters, one for the opening ofDUCIS in may 2003 and one for a conference in 2004, are produced. Finally, a redesign of the book coverfor NIS, Nordic Irish Studies, is carried out.The report describes the working process consisting of meetings, practical work and other elementswithin the process. The conclusion is that the work has been quite successful and that this, to a largeextent, depended on an engaged and supporting commissioner.

Danmarksplass is situated just outside the centre of the city of Bergen on the Norwegian west coast. It was built in the 1930´s as a result of an architecture competition won by the prominent Norwegian architect Ole Landmark. Danmarksplass was originally meant to function as a local square, but its location next to Fjösangerveien, a road that caters for most of the through traffic in the Bergen valley today and is part of one of the main European roads, E39, would prove it difficult for that idea to prevail. Along with the ever increasing car traffic, Danmarksplass has more and more become a very busy traffic junction. Nowadays the car is the sole ruler of Danmarksplass.

 This thesis aims to through certain parts of the brand equity investigate the trust of consumers for a brand that recently experienced a product-harm crisis. It also wants to investigate why this trust exist, if it does. Structured interviews were carried out at 60 respondents in Uppsala. The results show that the respondents have positive associations with ICA, they think that ICA maintains a high quality on their products and services and that 50% more often choose to do their grocery shopping at ICA. The conclusion of the study is that ICA has a strong brand equity resulting in brand trust from consumers, which is founded in the brand reliability and brand intentions of the company. .

Dagens konkurrensutsatta miljö gör det nödvändigt för företag och andra organisationer att nyttja de resurser som finns tillgängliga inom organisationen på bästa sätt. En viktig aspekt i arbetet med att finna konkurrensfördelar är att ta till vara och samordna den samlade kunskapen hos personalen. Ett begrepp som man allt oftare träffar på inom organiserandet av kunskap är Centre of Excellence, eller kompetenscentrum. Det finns dock ingen entydig innebörd av detta begrepp, och det förekommer i flera olika sammanhang, på skilda nivåer - som delar av stora företagskoncerner - som arbetsform i samarbete mellan myndighet, högskola och industri ? som statusgaranti för individ- eller gruppbaserad kompetens.
