AbstractThe purpose of this study was to see if there is a connection between smolt length from Brattfors salmon cultivation and temperature. Climate changes are expected to give a higher temperature that could result in a longer growing season for the fish.Cultivated smolt is today bigger than it was before, it is also bigger than the wild salmon. The growth season of salmonids depend on the water temperature, salmonids need 6-80C to grow. Water temperature has been surveyd since the late 50´s in Brattfors. The result shows that it?s now considerable more days per year with higher temperature.

För att få en tydlig bild av en marknad använder företag sig av segmenteringstekniker för att dela upp konsumenter i olika segment med målet att kunna precisera sina marknadsföringsåtgärder och optimera sina försäljningsutsikter. I dagens globaliserade multikanalsamhälle suddas landsgränser ständigt ut, vilket skapar ett behov för företag att istället identifiera regionala marknader. Genom att karlägga regioner är det möjligt att röna ut om det även inom ett land kan finnas skillnader i attityder till olika varumärken. Kombinationen av geografisk, demografisk och psykografisk segmentering möjliggör för företag att inte enbart se vilken ålder konsumenter har eller vilken stad de bor i, utan även vilken typ av attityd de har gentemot en viss produkt eller ett varumärke.Studien syftar till att ta reda om det finns regionala skillnader i varumärkesattityder i Sverige samt vad attityderna grundar sig i. I form av en studie över tre geografiskt skilda områden i Sverige, där 239 respondenter medverkade i strukturerade intervjuer undersöktes om varumärkesattityder kan skilja sig åt i de olika regionerna.

Människor i dagens samhälle flyttar och reser mycket till olika platser och länder. Man växte upp i en stad och sedan flyttade man till en annan för att till exempel gå i skolan eller arbeta. Under tiden träffar man andra människor från andra städer eller länder. Alla har olika erfarenheter och bakgrund med olika traditioner. Etnicitet är någonting som uppstår när man träffar människor som är olik en själv.

Many questions are still left unanswered regarding the period c. 450-700 AD, when hordes of Anglo-Saxon migrants landed on the British Isles and by doing so made the starting point in the foundation of England. Who were these Germanic Tribes? The theories of how the migration proceeded are today many. The two major theories today concerns whether it was a question of a mass migration or a gradual migration proceeded by smaller groups of military elite.

This master thesis takes its point of departure in the conflicting worldviews of modernism and post-modernism. As traditional segmentation theory springs from the modernist worldview, this study aims to contribute to the understanding of the complexity regarding market segmentation for lifestyle brands in contemporary society, where the consumer is often claimed to be post-modern. The research was conducted in Malmö and Lund and involved 25 Converse users as respondents. The methods used in this thesis starts with observations as a sampling technique in order to locate the respondents. Short interviews and photo documentation followed.

AbstractIn November 2011 the Swedish Government announced that they were conducting an investigation to examine what impact the conversion of existing rental stock to condominiums could have on the development of the Million programme areas. The proposal of converting rental stocks to condominiums aims to help people living in these neighbourhoods to private ownership, while still allowing people who want to continue to rent their homes to do that. This thesis intends to investigate the effects of the proposed reform from a management perspective. The maintenance of the areas built during the Million Programme gets more neglected every year that passes. The majority of the housing stock is rental properties and extensive renovation of the surface layer, Tribes and public spaces are essential in all Million programme areas studied. By transforming a portion of the housing stock into condominiums and by improve the living environment through renovations, these areas would be able to gets more attractive.
