Obesity and overweight are today classified as one of the largest epidemics in the Western world and is threaten a large part of the population. As a reaction to this a major health trend has emerged in recent decades. Every day consumers are exposed to information from the media about what is healthy or unhealthy to eat and the recommendations change frequently. There is great interest in healthy food on the Swedish food market, but still healthy foods only represents a small proportion of the total food sales. The essay examines the gap between the current and potential demand for healthy food and if it can be explained by any of the following factors: lack of information, price, taste or cognitive behavioral. To study these questions a quantitative method have been used and 213 questionnaires were collected. The intention is to draw general conclusions about the entire population. We discussed and analyzed the quantitative data together with the frame of reference based on the four factors and the discussion led us to the following conclusions: Price and parts of the cognitive behavior inhibits the consumption of healthy foods on the Swedish food market. The other factors studied can not explain the inhibited consumption. Based on the conclusions we recommend “svenska Livsmedelsverket” to communicate its policies through traditional marketing channels to better reach out to all consumers. We also believe the Swedish food market is ready for a new store concept with only healthy food.

Every day, thousands of people make a decision to leave their homeland. Some of them are forced to flee conflicts, war and oppression, while others move voluntarily for work, study or family reunification. Sweden is one of the countries in the world that received the most refugees per capita 2015.The study focuses on immigrants integration problems specifically from an information poverty perspective and explores the concepts of newcomers, integration, inclusion, exclusion, digitization and information poverty. The study examines factors that may affect the lack of access to information and how can these factors lead to integration problems. The study discusses the role of the Swedish Employment Services as an authority and their website. Furthermore, the study examines immigrants experiences regarding information poverty and the consequences of not being able to search information digitally on their own. Methods used in the study are structured interview and usability test for observational scenarios.The conclusion that can be drawn regarding the Swedish Employment Services website is that the site needs to be adapted for immigrants who do not understand Swedish or who do not have knowledge of using the Internet. In addition, the study found that immigrants lacked social networks with Swedes and did not have access to information about society, education, work, and housing. These limitations leads to some of the first problems with immigrant social integration.

De senaste åren har flera offentliga skjutningar inträffat i Malmö. Malmöpolisen har haft svårigheter att lösa dessa då det, bland annat, har varit en brist på vittnen. Att vittnen inte vågar träda fram kan bero på olika saker, men vanligast är det att de är rädda för repressalier. Detta trots att risken för att utsättas för sådana är relativt låg. För vittnen som utsätts för hot finns det olika skyddsåtgärder att tillgå, men vittnen som upplever en ogrundad oro får i stort sett klara sig själva. Konsekvenserna av att vittnen inte vågar medverka i utredningar och rättegångar kan ha långtgående effekter i samhället och kan i till slut leda till att rättssystemet inte kan arbeta effektivt. Något som kan generera mycket negativa resultat. Eftersom majoriteten av vittnen inte utsätts för hot, kan man utgå från att gruppen som inte har möjlighet för att få polisiärt stöd är relativt stor. Frågeställningen är: Hur kan Malmöpolisen arbeta för att få fler att våga vittna i samband med offentliga skjutningar? Resultaten av denna kvalitativa studie visade att Malmöpolisen bör lägga stort fokus, i sitt arbete, på att sprida information. Både inom och utanför myndigheten. Detta hade kunnat bidra till en ökad säkerhet bland vittnena. / In the recent years a number of public shootings have taken place in Malmö. The Malmö police department have experienced difficulty in solving these crimes. One of the reasons for this is the lack of witnesses that have come forward. The reasons why witnesses won’t make themselves know can be many. The most common one however is the fear of reprisals from the suspect. This despite the fact that the risk of being subjected to reprisals is relatively low. Witnesses who are threatened are offered different types of protection. Witnesses who don’t get threatened, but still experience fear get to fend for themselves. The consequences of witnesses who are too frightened to take part in an investigation and trial can be extensive and could lead to the judicial system not being able to work effectively. This can generate very negative results. Since the majority of witnesses don’t get subjected to threats, you can assume that the group of witnesses without support from the police department is extensive. The research question is as follows: How can the Malmö police department work in order to generate more witnesses willing to testify, in connection to public shootings? The results of this qualitative study shows that the Malmö police department should focus on the distribution of information. Both within and outside of the department. This could lead to a stronger feeling of security among these witnesses.

Abstract A housing society’s annual report is referred as the main document in which buyers can obtain information about the housing society’s financial position. However, previous research shows that households find it difficult to understand the financial information in an annual report.  In addition, the investigation on strengthened consumer protection in the cooperative flat market (SOU 2017:31) shows that buyer’s in Sweden have insufficient ability to understand the risks combined with a tenant-owner acquisition, which could have far-reaching consequences. One reason why households do not understand the annual report can be that the report does not contain sufficient descriptive information, which can demonstrate a prevailing information gap between the producer of information and its receivers. The purpose of this study is to create an adjusted annual report based on information from interviews with interest organizations for housing societies, and then examine whether a buyer’s financial understanding can be increased based on the expanded information in the adjusted management report.  In this study, qualitative interviews with individuals at different interest organizations to housing societies have been conducted, which has resulted in relevant information being added in a housing society’s management report, hoping to make the annual report more understandable. The adjusted annual report has then been tested in a quasi-experiment. In the experiment, participants in an experimental group received the adjusted annual report while participants in a control group received the original un-adjusted annual report. The participants in respective group then responded to questions about which extent they considered to understand the information in specific annual report. The results for each group have then been analyzed to measure and compare the understanding between both groups to see if there is a connection between extended information and increased understanding in an annual report. The result of the completed experiment showed that the average understanding of the annual report’s content was 81 percent higher in the experimental group compared to the control group. The conclusion is, therefore, that there is a connection between expanded information and increased understanding of the information in the adjusted annual report for the participants in the experiment. / Sammanfattning En bostadsrättsförenings årsredovisning ses som det huvudsakliga dokument där bostadsrättsköpare kan erhålla information om föreningens finansiella ställning. Ändå uppvisar tidigare forskning att hushåll har svårt att förstå den finansiella informationen i en årsredovisning. Dessutom påvisar utredningen om stärkt konsumentskydd på bostadsrättsmarknaden (SOU 2017:31) att bostadsrättsköpare i Sverige har en bristande förmåga att förstå de risker som ett bostadsrättsförvärv medför, något som kan få långt gående konsekvenser. En av anledningarna till att hushåll inte förstår årsredovisningen kan vara att rapporten inte innehåller tillräckligt med beskrivande information, vilket kan påvisa ett rådande informationsgap mellan utgivaren av information och användaren. Syftet med studien är att skapa en justerad årsredovisning utifrån information som intervjuer med individer hos bostadsrättsmarknadens intresseorganisationer genererat, för att sedan pröva om det går att öka en bostadsrättsköpares finansiella förståelse utifrån den utökade informationen i den justerade förvaltningsberättelsen. I denna studie har kvalitativa intervjuer genomförts med individer hos intresseorganisationer till bostadsrättsföreningar vilket har resulterat i att relevant information utökats i bostadsrättsförenings förvaltningsberättelse i hopp om att göra årsredovisningen mer förståelig. Den justerade årsredovisningen har därefter prövats i ett kvasi-experiment. I experimentet fick deltagarna i en experimentgrupp ta del av den justerade årsredovisningen medan kontrollgruppen fick ta del av den ojusterade årsredovisningen. Därefter svarade deltagarna på frågor om i vilken grad de ansåg sig förstå informationen i specifik årsredovisning. Resultatet för respektive grupp har sedan analyserats för att mäta och jämföra förståelsen mellan de båda grupperna för att se om det finns ett samband mellan utökad information och ökad förståelse i en årsredovisning. Resultatet av det genomförda experimentet visade att den genomsnittliga förståelsen av årsredovisningens innehåll var 81 procent högre hos experimentgruppen jämfört med kontrollgruppen. Slutsatsen är därmed att det finns ett samband mellan utökad information och ökad förståelse av informationen i den justerade årsredovisningen för experimentets deltagare.
