Frågeställningar: Hur använder svenska multinationella företag expatriering? Hur fungerar expertskatten i förhållande till dess syfte? Vilka konsekvenser medför användandet eller icke-användandet av expertskatten för företagen?Syfte: Syftet är att undersöka hur svenska multinationella företag använder sig av expatriering som kompetensförsörjning och i det perspektivet utreda huruvida expertskatten fungerar i förhållande till dess syfte.Metod: En tvärsnittsundersökning genomfördes vid insamling av det empiriska materialet. Primärdata samlades in med hjälp av intervjuer från tre undersökningsföretag. Viss kompletterande sekundärdata har även bidragit till undersökningen.Slutsatser: Vid de tillfällen då företagen inte kan tillgodose sitt kärnkompetensbehov på en lokal marknad är expatriering en metod att tillgå. Expatriering leder då till en kunskapsförflyttning över de nationella gränserna.

Uppsalaromantikern Vilhelm Fredrik Palmblads (1788-1852) roman Familjen Falkenswärd (1844-45) var delvis en omarbetning av en romanföljetong (den s.k. Kalenderromanen) som Palmblad publicerade på 1810-talet i Poetisk kalender. I jämförelse med Kalenderromanen kan man i Familjen Falkenswärd se en utveckling mot ökad verklighetskontakt.Denna uppsats behandlar temat ideal och verklighet i Familjen Falkenswärd. Med ?verklig-het? åsyftas ingen yttre verklighet utanför romanen, eventuell realism lämnas alltså utanför undersökningen.

Fokus på genus och vilken betydelse det har i olika sammanhang har fått allt störreuppmärksamhet i samhället. Syftet var att beskriva den rådande genusordningen inom hälsoochsjukvård, samt huruvida kommunikation inverkade på skapandet och upprätthållandet avden. Omvårdnadsforskningen har hittills inte undersökt relationen mellan kommunikation ochden rådande genusordningen inom hälso- och sjukvård i någon större utsträckning. Det finnsändock klara indikationer på att denna rådande genusordning är viktig att ha i åtanke. Dågenusordningen är en maktordning som genomsyrar alla andra maktordningar bidrar denmanliga normen inom hälso- och sjukvård till en ojämnställd vård.

För att språket ska fungera normalt krävs ett samspel mellan uttrycksförmåga och förståelse av språk. Afasi är en språkstörning som kommer sig av en skada i de delar av hjärnan som påverkar språket. Att få afasi kan innebära en stor omställning i livet och ofta uppstår ett behov av anpassning av kommunikationen både för personen som fått afasi och personer i dess omgivning. Detta inkluderar även den vårdpersonal som arbetar nära personen med afasi. För att nå förståelse och kunna ge vård och omsorg av god kvalitet, måste tillräcklig kunskap om afasi finnas hos vårdpersonalen.

We are heading towards a huge switch of how energy is produced with fossil fuels being replaced by renewable energy sources. It is not difficult to replace the energy you use in the house and there is no need for futuristic technology. There are already many established products on the market such as high efficiency vacuum solar collectors, heat pumps & small wind power stations that can supply the energy being used in a house. The company Sol & Energiteknik SE AB in Huskvarna has many different products which can reduce the need for an outside energy distributor. An average house in Sweden uses 15 000 kWh for heating, 5000 kWh for tap water and 5000 kWh for electricity.

I dagens konkurrensutsatta värld, med snabba teknologiska förändringar är inte en överlägsen produkt längre en garanti för ett företag att nå framgång. Dagens företag måste istället bygga upp starka, konkurrenskraftiga och differentierade varumärken för att lyckas på marknaden. Detta har resulterat i att varumärket med dess emotionella värden och symboliska mening, har blivit det allra viktigaste konkurrensmedlet för företagen. Varumärket har därigenom under de senaste decennierna gått från att vara en del i marknadsföringsprocessen till att bli den klart viktigaste komponenten för företagen. Vikten av att bygga upp starka varumärken är en utveckling som kommer att fortsätta öka i framtiden.
