Ett företag kan behöva förändra sin strategi för att bli mer effektivt. Vid förändring av ett företags strategi står företaget ofta inför ett förändringsarbete som kan påverka hela eller delar av verksamheten. Därav borde en analys av ett företags nuläge i förhållande till ett önskat läge göra att företag relativt enkelt skulle uppnå bättre resultat. Så enkelt är det emellertid inte: företag skall dessutom transportera sig från nuläget till önskat läge. Syftet med denna uppsats var att beskriva ett förändringsarbete och de kritiska framgångsfaktorerna vid byte av ekonomiskt styrsystem i ett storföretag.

Active work to increase the efficiency of energy use is taking place in Sweden and throughout all of Europe. Electricity is an important part in our society?s energy system which means that the electrical grid operators and associated therewith has a central role in this work. Monitoring and controlling the electrical grids are managed from the distribution system operator?s DC, dispatch center.The aim of this report is to examine how the operations in a typical DC on the Swedish electricity distribution network will look like in five to ten years.

This thesis on the sustainable urban development has the intent to discuss the conservator?s position in alteration of the built environment. An essential component of the thesis consists of a case study in the form of an entry in an open architectural competition for the development of Furuset, an urban residential area in Norway. The thesis? discussion is based on two approaches to change and socio-economic Transformations, considered being dominant within the heritage theory and practice: the production of ideas and great narratives and conservation as an instrumental tool.

The purpose of this essay is to understand the rhetoric presented by Henry V in Shakespeare?s St. Crispin?s day speech. More specifically, it examines the speech from a "dramatistic" point of view, i.e.

This thesis explores and compares the former armed opposition groups; Mozambique National Resistance (RENAMO), Front for the Liberation of Mozambique (FRELIMO) and South West Africa People's Organization (SWAPO) transformation processes into political parties. The first question addressed is; What factors determines the ability of these armed opposition groups to transform into political parties after armed conflict? The question is addressed through four structural and organizational factors; international involvement, the organizations ideology and identity, their ability to change inter-elite relationships and their ability to change collective incentive strategies. The second question addressed is if the Transformations process can affect the parties? degree of institutionalization? The degree of institutionalization is examined through the party's adaptility, complexity, autonomy and coherence.

Sara Stridsberg?s novels Happy Sally, Drömfakulteten and Darling River are all brimming withliterary images of movement and becoming. The physical aspects of being a female subject inbecoming highlights the enfleshed body as important. Themes such as sexuality, power andviolence can be traced in the beautiful but most disturbing narratives of Stridsberg.The purpose of this study is to show the reader how the literary female characters aretranscending the physical borders of their bodies in order to become something more than what thehuman form allows them to be. Heteronormative sexuality, sickness, closeness to water andanimaling are bound together by the way they enact the female characters to stretch beyond thesurfaces of their skins.

The Iranian artist Shirin Neshat has been living in self-imposed exile since the late 1970s, as she chose not to return to her home country following the ?79 Islamic Revolution. Through her works Neshat examines Iran before and after the revolution and follows political and civil Transformations through strong photographs of women in her country of birth.  My own use of the term exile deals with the analysis of the state of exile in relation to artistic work as a globalized and underlying motivation for art and artists. The new definition of exile is analyzed in relation with the artist?s photographs and the verbal and visual statements.

This is a bachelor thesis, written at the business studies institute, Uppsala Unviersity, exploring how digitalization has affected the Swedish book industry. This is done by studying how the introduction of the e-book has changed the way the publishers work and what problems and opportunities arise with the new way to publish and consume books. The technology optimists, that existed around the turn of the millennium, when the e-book came, made predictions along the lines of the physical book having ceased to exist within five to ten years. But the physical paper books do very much still exist, so haven?t the change happened as predicted? The purpose of this thesis is as follows: How has introduction of the e-book affected the relationship between the Swedish publishers and the book as a whole? This means that we consider the book as a concept, as a resource or product, and study how a change in this product affect publishers.The theoretical framework used is basically classical network theory.

The essay initially intends to find adequate models to describe and forecast monthly data for the Swedish Consumer Price Index sub group Clothes and Shoes 1986-2005. The time series observations during 2006 are considered ?out of sample period? which is used to evaluate the forecasts. The purpose is to perform time series decomposition and to investigate and analyzethe seasonal pattern. The Box-Jenkins approach is used to find adequate ARIMA models.

The limit for mercury in fish, set by health authorities, is exceeded in about half of the lakes in Sweden. Methyl mercury (MeHg) is the most toxic form of mercury and accumulates in fish. Therefore transformation of inorganic mercury (Hg) to methylmercury (MeHg) is an important process that we need to understand in order to possibly counteract the negative effects of mercury in the environment. The seasonal dynamics of mercury biogeochemistry is likely of great importance for the accumulation of MeHg in the aquatic food web. In thesis the chemical speciation and Transformations of Hg and MeHg in bottom waters and sediments is followed in Ängessjön, a small lake located on the east coast in the middle of Sweden. The lake is not directly affected by any industrial pollution and concentrations of Hg in the sediment reflect the atmospheric deposition in this area, as well as processes taking place along the hydrological pathways from soil to lake. Samples from sediment, bottom- and streamwater were collected in average every second month during the period Feb.

För att få en trygg identitet ska alla elever i grundskolan uppnå medvetenhet om det egna kulturarvet och delaktighet i det gemensamma. Detta anser skolverket vara viktigt för förmågan att förstå och leva sig in i andras villkor och värderingar. Tyvärr resulterar många av försöken att tala om kultur i skolan bara till ökat särskiljande, istället för ökad förståelse.Denna undersökning syftar till att hitta ett nytt sätt att arbeta med kultur- och etnicitetsfrågor. Utifrån frågeställningen ?Hur kan man använda designprocessen för att skapa nya högtider och därigenom synliggöra och utmana de sätt på vilka identitetskapande sker bland elever i grundskolans årskurs tre?? har ett designpedagogiskt projekt genomförts tillsammans med 50 barn i nioårsåldern.I detta projekt har dessa 50 barn, eleverna i två skolklasser, använt metoder inspirerade av Transformations- och participatory design för att skapa ett helt nytt, eget högtidsfirande. Tillsammans har vi satt ramarna för en ny tradition, en ny kultur och ett nytt beteende. Min förhoppning var att genom att skapa något nytt, gemensamt skulle samhörighetskänslor uppstå istället för att kulturella skillnader skulle uppmärksammas och på så sätt öka segregeringen.Under projektets gång har jag samlat in empiri i form av ljudupptagningar, fotografier, fältanteckningar och artefakter, de produkter som eleverna tillverkade inför firandet.
