Great brands are changing customer expectations… Things are changing in the market place… the best brands are taking things to a whole new level

The best brands offer a great customer experience… we see it more and more in brands like Apple and Starbucks

Mere satisfaction is no longer enough… it simply is not enough anymore to just meet a customer’s needs… you have to go deeper… you have to connect with them and meet their unexpressed needs

Translation - Swedish
Starka varumärken håller på att förändra vad kunderna väntar sej... Det rör sej på marknaden… de bästa varumärkena är uppe på en helt ny nivå

De bästa varumärkena bjuder på en utomordentlig kundupplevelse… det ser vi mer och mer med märken som Apple och Starbucks

Tillfredställelse som sådan räcker inte till längre… det är helt enkelt inte nog längre att bara ge kunden vad han eller hon behöver… du behöver tränga djupare… du behöver nå in till dem och ge dem vad som svarar mot deras outsagda behov

As used herein, the term “Agreed Residual Value” means in the case of leases, with respect to Designated Equipment returned at the end of the term of the Contract in the condition required by the applicable Contract, the amount provided in “Residual End of Term”, assuming all Equipment currently subject to each Contract is returned at the end of term of the applicable contract. “Agreed Residual Value” is calculated on a per item basis and will be adjusted for each item of Equipment subject to an event of casualty loss or other event of early termination or term extension as may be provided for in the applicable Contract.
Translation - Swedish
Såsom det används här betyder uttrycket ”Överenskommet Restvärde”, när det gäller leasingavtal och beträffande specificerad utrustning som återlämnats vid kontraktsperiodens slut i sådant skick som föreskrivs i relevant kontrakt, den summa som fastställs som ”Restvärde vid Kontraktstidens Slut”, under förutsättning att all utrustning som vid den aktuella tidpunkten innefattas i varje
kontrakt återlämnas vid slutet av det relevanta kontraktets giltighetsperiod. ”Överenskommet Restvärde” beräknas för varje utrustningsenhet och justeras för varje utrustningsenhet som har utsatts för skada, förlust eller annan instans av kontraktsavkortning eller förlängning i enlighet med villkor i det relevanta kontraktet.

Självinsikt och Grundstrategi

Vi har alla, under vår livstid, övat in ett sätt att tänka, känna och agera som vi identifierar oss med. Detta sätt att vara är till stor del omedvetet. Vi är i olika grad på "autopilot” och det är självklart för oss att göra, tänka och känna som vi gör. Detta vårt "jag" är något som vi tränat in sedan barnsben. Redan som mycket små märkte vi att om vi gjorde på vissa sätt så fick vi mer av våra grundläggande behov tillgodosedda. Detta utvecklade vi till en strategi för att hantera livet – vår s.k. grundstrategi. Ju mer otrygg vår uppväxt var desto mer har vi behövt använda oss av vår strategi och desto djupare sitter vi fast i den som vuxna. En tryggare uppväxt där vi fått mer av våra behov av kärlek och tillit tillgodosedda gör att vi har ett bredare register att agera ifrån.
Translation - English
Self Awareness and Basic Strategy

All of us have, throughout our lives, developed a way of thinking, feeling and acting that we identify as ours. This way of being is largely unconscious. To varying degrees we are running on “autopilot” and find it obvious that we must act, think and feel in the way we do. This is our “self” and this is something we have practised being since we were children. Even as very young we noticed that by acting in a particular way we could ensure satisfaction of more of our basic needs. We developed this into a strategy for dealing with life – what one might call our basic strategy. The more insecure our early life, the more we had to make use of our strategy and the firmer we are fixed in it as adults. A more secure and fulfilling early life, with more satisfaction of our need for love and trust, gives us a wider register from which to act.

Formuläret kommer att bestå av en eller flera sidor. Försäkra dig om att hela sidan laddats hem innan du börjar genom att kontrollera att sidan avslutas med knappar.

Vissa nätläsare laddar in sidan igen om man ändrar fönstrets storlek. Undvik därför att minimera eller ändra fönsterstorleken medan du fyller i formuläret, eftersom du då riskerar att förlora det du fyllt i.

The Questionnaire will contain one or more pages. Make sure that the whole page has been downloaded before you start, by checking that the page ends with buttons.

Some browsers download the page again if you change the size of the window. Therefore you should not minimize or alter the size of the window while you are completing the questionnaire, since this risks losing what you have already completed.

Till dessa förklaringsförsök är närmast att anmärka, att andra verkliga belägg för ett djupgående icke-indo-ariskt inflytande på den äldre sanskritlitteraturen knappast äro att finna. Det lilla antal person- och ortnamn av icke-ariskt ursprung man ansett sig kunna fastställa är högst obetydligt. Detsamma gäller främmande sagomotiv.
Translation - English
The most obvious comment on these attempts at explanation is perhaps that it is hardly possible to find any other genuine evidence of profound non-Indo-Aryan influence on early Sanskrit literature. The small number of personal and place names of non-Aryan origin supposedly identified is quite insignificant. The same is true of foreign story elements.

Bio
Translating is my fourth career, and I bring to the task a wealth of experience from a long and varied professional life, which began in Sweden and continued - from 1970 - in the UK. For about 15 years I worked free lance, but nearly full time, commissioning and editing English language academic and semi-academic reports for United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. Please look at my CV for more detail of my professional experience.

I now specialize in translation of business documentation in the broadest sense, including legal contracts and agreements, human resources materials, marketing materials, company reports, etc.

My other specialty is translation into English of really difficult Swedish texts, academic or just old and hard to understand for a contemporary person. Subject areas here include all the humanities and social sciences, and I produce translations that are faithful to the original, and also accessible and readable. I am also happy to edit a professional level text, such as a journal article, that has been drafted in English, but needs tweaking to "read right".

After decades of senior professional work in the UK, English is now my "other" native language, but I still retain a sophisticated familiarity with Swedish, and translate just as happily from English to Swedish as from Swedish to English.
