Our special interest was the information channels and how the administrators were able to absorb the essential information.

During the financial crisis voices were raised towards the regulatory framework IAS 39 recognition and measurement of financial instruments and pointed out that it was inadequate. The complexity of the framework contributed to the fact that it was difficult to apply. IASB accelerated the modeling of the new to be regulatory framework IFRS 9. In this study we will focus on the reliability of accounting information, which is an important aspect from the stakeholder?s point of view, for example, to be able to make the best decisions the accounting information should be proper.

Syftet med denna uppsats var att utifrån ett feministiskt poststrukturalistiskt perspektiv, studera hur några medverkande i ett likabehandlingsnätverk i en Reggio Emilia-inspirerad förskoleenhet, talade om kön/genus och normer. Arbetet med nätverket har beskrivits som en ?minipolitisk? arena; för vardagsnära demokratiska förhandlingar ? ett möte mellan rådande ?storpolitik?, i form av läroplan och lagar, och lokalt förverkligande. Därmed ville vi bidra med kunskap om hur ett sådant nätverk kan möjliggöra ett praktiskt arbete med genusfrågor, samt om vilka eventuella svårigheter som finns. Vi samlade in material via intervjuer med sex pedagoger, där några precis påbörjat sitt deltagande i nätverket medan andra hade deltagit i ett år.

Denna uppsats avser att utforska förskolebarns köns- och subjektskapande i och i förhållande till lekar med ett actiontema, som Superman, tjyv och polis och transformers. Genom deltagande observation har jag samlat empiri som jag med feministiskt poststrukturellt perspektiv och diskursanalys analyserat. Studien går i motstånd mot en uppfattning om dessa actionlekar som sprungna ur ett maskulint behov. Genom att titta på hur tecknet ?kille? kopplas ihop med andra tecken, visar studien hur actionlekarna istället går att förstå som en arena där ting och företeelser konstrueras som maskulina.

Vad kan skolan göra för att förbättra ungdomars kost och hälsovanor? Syftet med mitt examensarbete har varit att undersöka ungdomars kost och hälsovanor som underlag för vad skolan kan och bör göra för att stimulera och motivera ungdomar till bättre kosthållning. För att nå syftet har jag använt metoden enkätundersökning och intervjuer. I undersökningen har 40 elever från IV-programmet ingått. Litteraturen som presenteras belyser kunskap och lärande om skolans roll till att förbättra ungdomars kost och hälsovanor.

The idea that I put forward in this thesis concerns the democratic system and the threat from discoursive impact on its core values. I focus my normative analysis on three of these democratic values: transparency, accountability and influence ? and what democratic problems the discoursive impact causes in conflict with them. I have used a critical discourse theory to define discourse and discoursive impact, by focusing on the process of discourse, rather than its nature. I deal with the political structure where I claim that the essential relation between citizen and politician is disrupted, due to lack of information and the imminent problems of the existing network society.

Sverige rankas år 2011, enligt United Nations Development Program, som världens mest jämställda land.Mediautgör emellertid en arena som är kritiserad och anklagad för att förmedla en bild av kvinnan som innebär att hennes kropp och utseende är allt. I den här uppsatsen används en kritisk diskursanalys för att belysa hur diskursiva processer, i ett medialt material, kan uttydas lingvistiskt och hur dessa processer utgör ett socialt problem. I detta integreras en analys av vilka subjektspositioner som erbjuds läsaren av detta material. Materialet som varit föremål för analys är den svenska versionen av månadsmagasinetCosmopolitan, som säger sig tillhandahålla en formel för framgång i livet för unga tjejer. Diskurser som är involverade i det sociala problem somCosmopolitansrepresentationer av kvinnan utgör är: heterosexualitet som enda möjliga sexualitet, postfeminism och konsumism.

Due to the increasing international operations for the Swedish Armed Forces these new types of opponents needs new tools to cope with these commitments. A couple of years ago the Swedish Armed Forces had no non-lethal weapons, but today the Swedish soldier has a number of tools to choose from.The purpose of this paper is for the reader to get a presentation of which non-lethal weapons are used today by the Swedish Armed Forces and a sample of what non-lethal weapons are out on the market today. My main question is which non-lethal weapons do the Swedish Armed Forces? miss in their non-lethal capabilities set.I have collected information from a wide selections of sources like reports from the Swedish Defence Research Agency, the Swedish Armed Forces? own regulations and the Internet. The information is then processed and divided into five chapters: The development of non-lethal weapons, description of technologies, non-lethal weapons in the Swedish Armed Forces, Non-lethal weapons on the market and Results.This paper is limited to handheld, portable and man to man non-lethal weapons, all non-lethal weapons in the Swedish Armed Forces or on the international market are not covered.My conclusion is that the Swedish Armed Forces should acquire three 40 mm projectiles, one 12-gauge projectile and one TASER®..

Vårt utvecklingsarbete syftar till att öka kunskap och förståelse gällande hur en organiserad rastverksamhet kan minska kränkande behandling och konflikter. Rasten utgör 20 % av elevers skoldag. Det är ett outnyttjad arena för pedagogiska möten med barnen. Vi har därför startat upp rastverksamhet som involverar hela skolan från årskurs 1-3. Skolan som utvecklingsarbetet utförs på visar en enkätstudie på barnen att det finns riks för utanförskap.

The overall purpose of this study is to contribute knowledge about the importance of physical exercise for policemen. The study is based on five semi-structured interviews with police officer?s working with emergency response.

A new site- and construction-law came into effect in May 2011. The new law, PBL2010:900 implies several different changes of the law. These changes concern bothconstructors, people working in municipality and county councils and other peoplethat in some way are related to the building sector. Except from the change in orderof the chapters and the renewed and modernized language, the law has now beenextended with a few new phases.According to the new law a certificate has to be issued to start and finish theconstruction; the construction consulting has changed name into technical consultingand the protocol for the controls has to show what the control is being compared to.This diploma work concerns control visits on construction sites as related to the newlaw. The reason why visits on construction sites are now implemented in the law isbecause the government saw a lack of trustworthiness in the old law.

The construction industry accounted for 19 % of all work-related fatalities in Sweden between 2010 and 2013. The exam report has been done to find out what underlying causes there are to the high number of fatalities and to the occupational statistics of the construction industry. Moreover it has been reviewed what improvements can be done to reduce accidents and fatalities in the construction industry. The report consists of a survey of statistics, laws and regulations affecting the work environment and of literature concerning the subject. It has been conducted an interview and a questionnaire survey at the construction company Asplunds Bygg and an interview with an inspector from the Work Environment Authority.

The implementation of IFRS 2 led to significant changes in the accounting practices for corporations regarding stock related compensation. The new regulations required firms to account for the stock based compensation as an expense in the financial statements, rather than merely disclosing the information in the notes section to the statements. Following prior research on the area; specifically studies made in the U.S., where researchers find that companies change their use of stock based compensation due to the increased accounted expenses, this study hypothesizes that the same pattern may be found among companies listed on the Swedish stock market. The results of this study show that the use of option incentives has decreased during the studied period 2001-2008 and that the decrease in part can be derived from IFRS 2 and in part from other factors. The results are useful to future research, as they provide an overview of the effects that IFRS 2 had on companies, and various factors that influence the behavior of corporations, as well as in a larger perspective be a factor to take into account for future modifications of the IFRS..

According to both national and international political regulations, the school should as far as it is possible include students with special needs in regular education. However, when implementing these political intentions regarding an including school environment, problems often arise. The aim of this studie has been to investigate the opinions of teachers and students when it comes to inclusive education in mathematics. The study has partly been based on interviews with students with special needs in mathematics. These students were included in regular mathematics groups.
