In today?s society Internet is evolving the tourism industry and it?s the pioneers that use this marketing channel to further their brands that?s that reap the benefits of early adoption. In this essay we research how well two kinds of ownership structures, private ownership and chain ownership, in the hotel market match up against each other in Internet presence and the steps they have taken to encourage guests too book via their websites. We determined that the hotel market in Karlstad was sufficient to study the different kinds of ownership structures as it?s small enough to see the competition between private ownership and chain ownership clearly instead of as normal in more densely populated cities where chain owned hotels dominates the marked due to sheer size. The scientific research consists of two types of methods.

Styr is a computer program that the construction company NCC use in their construction projects. The program is used to keep the economy of their projects in a good order and things for the best in an early phase. The problem is a low extent of utilization. During the latest decade NCC has put a lot of job and money trying to develop the program. The question is how to get the employees to use the program in a greater extent.

Modern technology and fast development of heat pumps, the hunt for savings in energy consumption and the strive for environmentally friendly energy sources, convenience, and financial profit, have made heat pumps a reasonable alternative for the heating of houses.When the heat pump starts it will consume a considerable amount of current, which may result in a short-lived voltage-drop if the power grid is weak compared to the start-up current.The company Fortum Distribution which owns and administrates electrical network is interested in an investigation that deals with heat pumps affect on the quality of electricity.The purpose of this investigation is to study fast electrical fluctuations (flicker) as a result of start-up currents for single as well as multiple heat pumps on the same electrical station and from this evaluate whether there will be any problems installing heat pumps..

This work is meant to contribute to the research of adaptation studies by focusing on a special case: the transformation of a fictional diary into a movie. In order to sustain the form of the literary source the adaptation to movie requires certain strategies. Först of all, the diary genre is characterized by a one-dimensional narration. Second, diaries only supply a few written dialogues, hence this "void" has to be compensated and filled by media specific measures. Third, the investigated diary is a story of individualization and emancipation of a single woman.

Denna studie syftar till att lyfta fram de faktorer som påverkar de adopterades livsprocess och visa vad som är avgörande för att skapa en trygg identitet. För att besvara frågeställningen har vi genomfört tio intervjuer och tagit del av en självbiografi och en självrapport. Vi har genomfört denna studie med grundad teori som metodologiskt angreppssätt, vilket innebär att vår frågeställning har vuxit fram ur datamaterialet. Resultatet visar att de faktorer som har påverkat internationellt adopterades livsprocess är en trygg kärna, att kärlek är tjockare än blod, omgivningens stöd, tacksamhet, svenskhet, adoptionens minimala betydelse, bristande intresse, öppenhet till adoptionen, anknytning till födelselandet, ambivalens inför adoptionen, adoptionens maximala betydelse och tillskrivningar kopplat till adoption. Avgörande för att skapa en trygg identitet är en trygg kärna, villkorslös kärlek, stöd från omgivningen och en svensk tillhörighet.

A prefabricated timber frame house previously built by Villafabriken AB has been modeled in Autodesk Revit Architectural, a 3D-program based on BIM-technology. This has been done tosee if it?s possible to produce the publications that Villafabriken demands from the designengineer?s work, and examine which possible extra values that may arise compared to traditional 2D-CAD drawing.BIM is short for Building Information Modeling. Everything is stored in a single database and a change in the project file is automatically updated across the project. BIM provides more than just drawings since information from the model can be retrieved in various ways such as lists and quantity schedules.It was possible to produce the publications that Villafabriken demanded using Revit, but BIM doesn?t only mean a new way of drawing, it also require a change in the company?s process were the information from the model is being used..

Bakgrund: Under 1970-talet börjar företag förändra sitt arbetande med traditionell budget. Detta p.g.a.att budgeten inte ses som tillräckligt flexibel i världens olika förändringar. Många företag väljer att förbättra den traditionella budgeten med olika förbättringsåtgärder. Som ett exempel på detta är Handelsbanken som väljer ett nytt system Beyond Budgeting/Budgetlösstyrning. Ett ekonomistyrningssystem som är den traditionella budgetens motsats.Syfte: Studien syftar till att se hur de olika systemen fungerar i reella verksamheter, och speciellt de som har erfarenheter av Beyond Budgeting.

In many earlier investigations a recall advantage of auditory lists spoken in a single voice has been found over recall of lists spoken in two alternating voices. One explanation proposed is an organization strategy which makes recall of alternating-voice lists so difficult. The strategy implies sorting same-voice words into same-voice groups at encoding. Based on this proposition, it was assumed that voice-by-voice recall would be better than recall in order of presentation, as then the recall instruction and the organization of items in memory would be in concordance. The present experiment tested and was unable to support this hypothesis.

Background: Corporate Responsibility is not a new concept however in recent times more companies are starting to use different kinds of responsibility disclosures. These disclosures are voluntary and corporations may use them in the way they find suits them best. There is a lot of research in this field and there is no single explanation for what Corporate Responsibility is and how corporations should relate to it.Purpose: The purpose of the study is to examine the relationship between the controlling owners of corporations and CSR disclosure.Method: We use a content analysis and a survey study to examine the relationship between corporate controlling owners and the CSR disclosure.Conclusions: Our results show that controlling owners have little effect on the different dimensions of CSR disclosure. We have however found some differences between the different owner categories where some categories are found to use CSR disclosure to a greater extent..

This bachelor thesis aim to explore in what way the Euro crisis have affected the reciprocal relationship between European identity and the attitudes towards the euro, and how it differs between the members in the Eurozone and members that have not yet introduced the euro. This thesis is grounded in a theoretical view that the euro is a symbol through which European identity is created, but also that European identity is a factor for the attitudes towards the euro as a single currency. By statistical analysis of empirical data collected through the Eurobarometer, I discover that there is a difference between how the relationship between the European identity and the attitudes towards the euro changes during the Euro crisis. Members without the euro seems to be more affected than members with the euro, as the correlation between European identity and attitudes towards the euro weakens for members without the euro, which do not seem to be the case in member countries within the Eurozone..

Sverige är ett framstående land inom medicinteknik, och har genom åren producerat flera viktiga innovationer, såsom pacemakern, ultraljud och kuvösen, vilka bidragit till bättre och effektivare vård. Många av idéerna till dessa innovationer har sitt ursprung inom grundforskning, medan utveckling och kommersialisering sker inom industrin. Syftet med uppsatsen är att studera och analysera vilka problem som kan föreligga då teknik utvecklad i ett forskningssammanhang vidareutvecklats och kommersialiseras i en affärskontext.Studien bygger på en kvalitativ fallstudie av hur teknikutvecklingen fortskridit mot kommersialisering inom det medicintekniska företaget SciBase AB, som utvecklat en produkt och metod för diagnostik av hudcancern malignt melanom. Analysen har genomförts utifrån ett sociotekniskt perspektiv, och bygger på teorier hämtade från STS- och IMP-fältet.Studien bekräftar svårigheten att inpassa något nytt i ett befintligt affärssammanhang, och hur befintliga relationer och regulatorer har en avgörande inverkan på vad som utvecklas till en innovation. Vidare visas att teknik påverkas av det sammanhang i vilken den utvecklas, vilket senare påverkar möjligheten att inbädda tekniken i en affärskontext..

On the internal market within the EU, freedom of establishment under articles 49 and54 TEU stipulates that companies have the right to set up businesses in other MemberStates. On the internal market there are 27 different national tax law systems whichhave caused obstacles regaring taxation between Member States. These obstacles havebeen shown deterrent when a company enters a new market. One problem area is thelack of cross-border loss compensation for groups. This means that cross-bordergroups is over taxed when they are unable to set of gains against losses.

Learning Management Systems (LMSs) hold great potential to support learning activities, for example by providing teachers and students with new and extended spaces for interaction and collaboration. However, this potential appears to be difficult to realize, and despite their perceived learning benefits, the reality is that LMSs are being used primarily for administrative purposes. Meanwhile, external pedagogical tools are successfully put into practice to improve learning outcomes, and the aim of this study is therefore to identify and discuss benefits and disadvantages associated with the LMS as a concept. By interviewing secondary school teachers, we disentangle the idea of integrating administrative and pedagogical aids into a single platform, providing detailed insight into the use of digital tools in secondary education. The study contributes to a deepened understanding of integrated learning environments, and we conclude that there is a conflict between structure and flexibility that needs to be addressed before determining the design of a digital learning space..

Det varierar stort i vilka erfarenheter barnen har med sig när de blir adopterade. Majoriteten av de barn som blir internationellt adopterade har i förväg kända särskilda behov på grund av exempelvis sjukdomar, funktionshinder eller svår social bakgrund. En del kan ha tillbringat den första tiden i livet med sin biologiska familj, medan andra kan ha blivit lämnade vid födseln. Dessa separationer kan sätta djupa spår hos adoptivbarnet och bilda problematik under uppväxten (Myndigheten för internationella adoptionsfrågor, 2013).Studien syftar till att undersöka om adoptivpersoner upplever problem relaterat till sina liv som adopterade, och i sådana fall undersöka hur dessa problem kan se ut. Empirin utgörs av kvalitativa intervjuer med tre adoptivpersoner som sedan har transkriberats och analyserats utifrån tematisk innehållsanalys.
