Fimpnedskräpning är ett problem ur flera aspekter. Fimparnas filter har en lång nedbrytnings­tid och innehåller tungmetallen kadmium, den lagras i allt organiskt. Med den största andelen av den totala mängden skräp har samhället varken råd att låta fimparna ligga kvar i naturen eller att plocka upp alla från densamma. Kemiskt och estetiskt såväl som ekonomiskt är fimp­ned­skräpningen ett dåtida, ett nutida och ett framtida problem. Lösningsförslag handlar ofta om restriktioner, ökade investeringar i renhållning eller tillgänglighet.

This study was made for the Swedish forest company Sveaskog because the sawmills they delivered timber to had noticed a high frequency of bucking splits in their products. Coworker Jim Edström at Sveaskog also wanted to know if there was a big difference between different felling heads. The purpose with this study has been to find out the amount of bucking splits and if there is any felling head brand that did a bigger damage that the others. The study was made in two steps, where the first part was a literary review to find out results and conclusions in earlier studies. The best measuring method to check bucking splits was the known ?trissmetoden?.

In Sweden, large scale planting of Lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta var. latifolia) started in the beginning of the 1970?s. At first, the aim was production of pulpwood, but later, also production of timber became considered realistic. Today, Sweden has more than 520 000 ha of Lodgepole pine.

Denna uppsats avser att undersöka huruvida Porters Femkrafts-modell kan skönjas i ett företags strategi vid etableringen på en ny marknad. Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är att ta reda på om Tickets strategiska beslutsunderlag vid nyetableringen på den danska Internetmarkanden skedde utifrån Porters modell? Hur kan Tickets strategi kopplas till Porters modell? Hur skiljer sig Tickets strategi från Porters modell? Utifrån intervjuer med Ticket samt studerande av årsredovisning har data insamlats om Tickets agerande och formulering av strategi. Denna data har analyserats i förhållande till Porters femkraftsmodell för att klargöra skillnader och samband mellan teori och verklighet samt varför dessa har betydelse för företaget.Undersökningen visar att Porters femkraftsmodell kan kopplas till Tickets strategi men att det finns stora begränsningar i dess betydelse. De fem krafternas relevans varierar för Ticket.

Denna uppsats undersöker köpmönster och lojalitetsnivåer hos Tickets kunder på Internetjämfört med butik och hur det har förändrats över tid. Resor är en av de mest frekventa produktersom säljs på Internet i Sverige, därför har vi valt att studera ett företag i resebranschen.I vår studie har vi delat upp befintliga aktiva kunder i Tickets kunddatabas i en egen modellför att kunna mäta lojalitetsnivån samt se köpmönster. Vårt resultat visar att det skett storaförändringar bara de tre senaste åren. Fler kunder väljer oftare att köpa resor på Internet ochInternet har den största lojalitetsnivån i dagsläget. Butikskunderna däremot minskar i antaloch även Tickets totala kundstock, något som vi tycker visar en problematik hos Ticket.

The aim of this study was to provide SCA Forest Norrbotten District with material to assist in their work towards decreasing the frequency of bucking splits in their saw timber logs. SCA Forest supplies the Munksund sawmill with pine timber. Periodically the sawmill experiences problems related to bucking splits in their logs. The purpose of this study was to find an available method to measure the occurrence of splits directly on incoming timber. The ambition was also to gain some knowledge about possible variations between different logging crews in terms of split frequency. If possible, this information could be used to investigate if certain crews produced more splits than others, and thereby making it possible to provide feedback to the logging machine operators. The study consisted of two major parts, a literature review, and a practical sawmill study.

Travelling All Inclusive implicate that a traveler goes on a trip where food, beverage, room and sometimes activities are included as everything is already paid in advance. The purpose with this study is to examine what it is that have motivated people to travel All Inclusive and to examine how people and travel companies reason about the possible economical effect All Inclusive have on a destination and a local population. We chose to conduct a survey over Facebook. As a complement to the survey and to find out how travel companies reflect on All Inclusives effects, we chose to implement email interviews with Ticket, Solresor and Airtours. The theories in this study focus on travel motivation, travel personalities and All Inclusive's impact on a destination and a local population.

The de-regulation of commercial air traffic in the early 1990?s lead to that many new airline companies entered the market. Many of these new actors were low budget airlines which meant that the traditional airlines met a new type of competition. This situation contributed to the fact that ticket prices dropped in many countries. It has become more and more common that the traveller prefers to fly with low budget airlines rather than with the traditional airlines.

The aim of this paper is to describe how to measure welfare effect of the deregulation and increased competition of the public transport by railway in Sweden. The paper also includes a numerical example of how to measure the welfare effect. In our study we use public data from SJ regaring quantity and ticket prices for the period 1996 - 2005. We have used equivalent variation, EV, as the method to measure the welfare effect. We demonstrate how to derive the equation to calculate EV by starting with a Marschallian demand function.
