Today many companies are using advertising agencies in marketing. That makes the advertising agencies responsible for delivering their clients messages and values to the final customer. Therefore it is very important that communication between an advertising agency and their client works in a way that they have similar marketing goals, despite all the factors that may distract this communication.The object of this essay is to study communication between advertising agencies and their clients, especially when it comes to setting up goals and that way highlight the problems that may occur and to make both the advertising agencies and their clients understand the importance of successful communication.We have done our research by interviewing representatives from advertising agencies and clients to advertising agencies. The interviews have given us some understanding on the subject which we have based our theories on, so we have used an inductive and hermeneutic approach to the subject.By modifying the theories we chose from the beginning and adapting them to the results of our research we have tried to show the advertising agencies and their clients the importance of effective and reliable communication between them. We also want to highlight the problems that may occur in the communication and give advice that hopefully can be used to improve the communication.The communication seems to work well and so does, according to our interviewees the co-operation overall.

Banverket är den myndighet som har ansvaret för järnvägstransportsystemet i Sverige och är en producent av järnvägsinformation. En stor del av infrastrukturinformationen lagras i baninformationssystemet BIS och Banverket är förpliktad att tillhandahålla den. I nuläget är informationen åtkomlig på ett lätt sätt främst internt. Dessutom ställer dagens samhälle krav på att informationen ska levereras enligt standard. Standardiseringsorgan har tagit fram standarder för geografisk information som svar på behovet att återanvända och samutnyttja geografiska data. Vårt examensarbete är genomfört på Banverket Verksamhetsstöds IT-avdelning och var inriktat på att kartlägga standarder för geografisk information och utveckla en webbtjänst för BIS för att öka tillgängligheten till informationen. Rapportens kunskapsbidrag är en analys av standarder för geografisk information som är relevanta för järnvägsnätet.

ABSTRACTThe study is an analysis of the politic debate about the decentralising of the public school between the years 1946 and 1990.

Bakgrund:Varumärken utgör idag en allt viktigare tillgång och i tillägg till nya internationella regler och dagens samhällsutveckling medför att allt fler företag redovisar sina immateriella tillgångar så som varumärken. Idag dock ingen enhetlig metod eller tillvägagångssätt för hur man skall redovisa varumärken. Detta är ett problem eftersom det inte finns några öppna och jämförbara värderingsprocesser som företag och intressenter kan följa och därmed förstå vad som ligger bakom varumärkens värde och vilka faktorer det är som påverkat dessa värden.Problem:Hur ser revisorer och varumärkesvärderare på dagens värdering av varumärken och vad anser man om trovärdigheten och framtidutsikterna? Varför används olika värderingsmetoder vid olika situationer?Syfte:Syftet är att utreda varför det idag inte finns någon enhetlig metod för värdering av varumärken, om det skulle vara möjligt att utveckla en gemensam metod eller standard och vad det skulle innebära för företag/intressenter med en mer jämförbar och accepterad värdering.Metod:En litteraturstudie och sju kvalitativa intervjuer har genomförts. Dessa har sedan analyserats och sammankopplats för att kunna besvara våra problemformuleringar och vårt syfte med studien.Slutsats:Revisorer och varumärkesvärderare anser att det idag inte finns någon enhetlig och väl fungerande metod och för att skapa en accepterad varumärkesvärdering som skulle användas i större utsträckning krävs istället en mer enhetlighet/standard för tillvägagångssättet och dokumenteringen.

Syftet med vår uppsats är att redogöra för om företag idag kan få förtroendet från sina kunder att tillta genom att de inför en kvalitetscertifiering t.ex. en ISO 9000-standard. Vi har även försökt att tolka vad som mer kan ha påverkan vid en kunds förtroendebedömning av företag. Resultatet vi har kommit fram till är att företag måste arbeta mer gentemot sina kunder än att enbart verka utifrån en kvalitetscertifiering för att erhålla förtroende..

The purpose of this case study has been to investigate the development and implementation of metadataschemas in two swedish governmental agencies. The interest of metadata in relation to records managment has been significant lately due to the challenges posed by the digital environment. This has been manifesteted in international standards such as TS/ISO 23081 Metadata for records and the MoReq 2 metadata specification issued by the DLM-forum. The extent to which these standard has influenced practice seems less overt however which has been one main motivation for this study.   The research questions adressed are: What has been the main purposes for the development of the metadataschemas? Which standards and role-models have influenced the metadataschemas? How has the implementation of the schemas been carried out? The case study has been conducted using a qualitative research method.

This thesis is covering my design of an architectural object for the use in a pedagogical setting. The purpose is to create contextual premises for students, making possible the testing of designs, involving plants suitable for the urban environment. Hence, the main features in the object design is suggestive to the urban outdoor rooms - rooms that are formed amongst the city facades. The thesis is also about the design process set out from a technical reality, based on camera imagery. To a large extent, the thesis consists of reflections concerning the object's function towards pedagogy, perception and materials. Furthermore, the object claims to be a hybrid between architecture and landscape architecture.

Calle Strand: Brian Wilson presents Smile! ? a study of the circumstances surrounding theabandonment of Smile - Uppsala University, Department of Musicology, C-essay.This essay is about the course of events that led to the abandonment of the Beach Boys albumSmile in 1967. The purpose of the essay is to differentiate the medial assumption of why Smilewas never released and also investigate to what extent media have influenced this assumption.The medial assumption is compared to actual events of the time of the abandonment andthe difference is then being discussed in a media-theoretical perspective.The theoretical framework is based on theories by Denis McQuail. His ideas aboutmedia's influences on the reception of its audience are of great importance for the essay andthe notions of agenga-setting and framing has a central role.Finally the conclusion is drawn that the medial assumption is a simplified and distortedexplanation to why Smile was never released. The actual events discover several alternativereasons, but media choose to focus on the assumption that gain them the most (they set theagenda and frame the information to their advantage) and present it as the only reason to theabandonment of Smile..

The present study examines a new production line of glue-laminated wood (glulam). The glulam is produced from non-planed boards of spruce, which also is convex, that is pressed together with high pressure during the gluing. According to a economic calculation, the material has a economical potential mainly on account of the absent planning. The study mainly found out that the shear strength of the material tolerated the demanded values in standard SS-EN 386, but the delaminating values did not. Since there are more areas to be studied around the material, the prospect to achieve the right delamination values is seen as positive..

Abstract Background: In 1997 the Kyoto Protocol was signed, it?s an international agreement which is aimed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Sweden's goal is to reduce energy using in buildings with 20 percent by 2020 and 50 percent by 2050. This is a comparison with levels from 1995 (Glad, 2006). For Sweden to be able to reach its goals, they need to construct more low-energy buildings (Åhman, Wahlström & Lundblad, 2010).
