Shear Strength and Deformation Characteristics of Uppsala Clay with CRS and Standard OedometerTyra Morell Bonin & Magdalena MählerTo see how much a clay compact under different pressure one can use several different methods and in this project, two methods were used, the Standard Oedometer and a CRS apparatus. A Standard Oedometer is a full-time manual device and the CRS apparatus is a modern electric and automatic device. The aim of the project was to see similarities and differences between the two methods and examine which method that were most reliable. This has been done with repeated laboratory tests and afterward evaluations. With this information one can get a picture of how the clay will behave and how it will deform in nature.

Modern agriculture equipment are more computer based today, and many equipments use a terminal in the tractor where the driver have the opportunity to make adjustments to the equipment. This is the reason why ISO developed a new standard called ISOBUS. It is a communication standard based on CAN specially adapted for griculture equipments. The purpose of the standard is that it should be ossible to equip a tractor with a standard terminal called Virtual Terminal that can be used to control the equipment. The use of the terminal should be independent of the manufacturer of the tractor as well as of the equipment.The purpose of this report is to ?nd a solution of how to use CC Systems on-board computer, CCP XS, as a Virtual Terminal.

Today many companies and municipalities requires that their suppliers should have an environmental management system to work by. This might be one of the reasons to the increasing number of companies that today are implementing environmental management systems. Care of Haus is one of the companies that thinks that the benefits are bigger than the disadvantages, when it comes to environmental management systems, therefore they have made the choice to work with ISO 14001.The ISO 14001 standard is deified on the PDCA- cycle. PDCA stands for Plan, do check and act. Care of Haus choose to work with the ISO 14001 standard since it is a well-known standard for the companies that?s Care of Haus collaborates with and it is also well-known within their clienteleWithin this report an environmental investigation has been made.

In April 2008 an official report, SOU (2008:32), was presented. In that report it was suggestedthat the statutory audit for approximately 96 % of the Swedish companies was to be abolished.The report suggests that the new regulations should apply to all limited companies thatare below two of three limits that have been suggested: a) a balance-sheet total of 41,5 millionSEK; b) a net turnover of 83 million SEK or; c) less than 50 employees. The regulations aresuggested to come into force July 1, 2010. According to the Swedish laws that regulate thelimited companies, Aktiebolagslagen 10:11, should all limited companies regardless of sizehave an chartered accountant or otherwise approved. The purpose of the audit is to create atrust towards the figures that the company shows and also to act as an assurance towards thirdparties (Collis, 2003; Strenger et al, 2008).

In 2011 the International Accounting Standards Board issued amendments to IAS 19 Employee Benefits. The new standard is effective from January 1st 2013 and one of the largest changes in the standard is the elimination of the corridor method. Through the corridor method companies had the possibility to defer actuarial gains and losses resulting from their defined benefit obligations (pension obligations) and leave them unrecognized off the balance sheet. According to the new standard companies reporting under International Financial Reporting Standards will have to recognize all actuarial gains and losses immediately in other comprehensive income. The aim of this thesis is to examine how the financial key ratios of Swedish listed companies will be affected by the elimination of the corridor method.

In many biomedical contexts, e. g. when evaluating hearing disorders, the data obtained can be described as pairs (x1, y1), ?, (xn, yn) where x is a quantitative variable and y a 0/1 variable whose probability of taking the value 1 is a monotonic function of x. One way of analysing such data is to perform probit regression; thereby two parameters, b0 (= the constant) and b1 (= the slope) are estimated; the interest centres around m = -b0/b1, i.

The demands of environmental effects in today?s companies have been increasing more andmore. To be able to withstand customers, cooperatives and government demands the ISO14001 certification should not be neglected.In January 2007 the general management of SAS decided to introduce an environmentalmanagement system for SAS Tech. The work which has been carried out is a part of thecertification process of ISO 14001 which will be completed by the end of year 2009.The aim is to create auditroutines for the company in order to be able audit ISO 14001standard internally which is a demand to get certified and to keep the certification in thefuture. A schedule has been done which audits different part of the standard at every auditduring one year.

Of all observable societal trends, the proliferation of standardizing processes is striking. Auditing standards are an illustrative example of this. Not only privately owned companies must today make available numbers and key figures to satisfy needs of information and knowledge. Government agencies are increasingly conforming to this trend, adopting standards for quality assurance and monitoring, producing numbers and annual reports ? despite their somewhat ambiguous task and role.

Glaciologer har under en längre tid observerat förändringar av glaciärer på Svalbard, att några minskar i storlek och att vissa växer. Avsmältning med ökade havsnivåer och potentiellt ändrad havscirkulation till följd är ett scenario som berör människor över hela värden. Dessa förändringar kan eventuellt förklaras genom att koppla de meteorologiska förhållandena i området till större cirkulationsförändringar.De meteorologiska förhållandena över Svalbard har simulerats med en regional klimatmodell, WRF (Weather Research Forecasting), för tre domäner med upplösningarna 24 km, 8 km och 2,7 km. Modellen har testats i två versioner, standard-WRF med förvalda processbeskrivningar och WRF med processbeskrivningar anpassade för polärt klimat och har drivits med ERA-Interim data, som är en återanalys av de globala väderförhållandena framtagen av ECMWF. Resultaten från WRF har verifierats mot observationer uppmätta av AWS-stationer (Automatic Weather Station).

This report is written in cooperation with the Swedish National Road Administration South-Eastern Region in Jönköping. The report is a result of the evaluation to give an answer to the question about how well the function contract has been carried out on the E4 in Östergötlands and Jönköpings län. The evaluation is divided in two hard parameters and one soft.The Swedish National Road Administration is interested in knowing how the standard on the road have been changed during the functions period, which is the reason why the first hard parameter is considering road standard. To evaluate the standard there have been a comparison of values from measures taken every year on the current road stretch. The second hard parameter considers economy.

Denna studie undersöker hur svenska börsnoterade företag implementerar redovisningsstandarden IAS 36 i praktiken. Standarden är utfärdad av regulatorn IASB och behandlar hur nedskrivningsprövning av förvärvad goodwill ska utföras för börsnoterade företag. Denna standard är sedan 2005 obligatorisk inom EU. Denna standard ses som ett steg mot en harmonisering av redovisningen då den syftar till att öka jämförbarheten mellan företag och länder. Vidare undersöks även om det råder några skillnader i implementeringen vilka är härledbara till företagens storlek.

Genom vår utbildning till belysningsvetare vid avdelningen för Belysningslärapå Tekniska Högskolan Jönköping har vi kommit i kontakt med standard SSEN12464-1. En standard som specificerar belysning för offentligainomhusmiljöer. Det vi fått lära oss under utbildningen stämmer inte överensmed vad standarden säger, vi har därför formulerat följande frågeställningar isyfte att undersöka denna skillnad.· Hur väl uppfyller den europeiska belysningsstandarden den svenskaarbetsmiljölagens intentioner vad gäller belysning?· Kan man uppnå arbetsmiljölagen intentioner med en standard?Genom litteraturstudier och intervjuer har vi undersökt området kring dessafrågeställningar. En analys har genomförts där vi genom jämförelser av intervjuutlåtande och litteratur har fått fram ett resultat.Vi har funnit att det finns meningsskiljaktigheter mellan belysningsteknikenoch belysningsvetenskapen om hur belysning skall planeras och hur man skallkontrollera den.

An ongoing concern within the Intellectual Technological world is the issue of security. There are severe consequences if someone without permission searches a computer for secret information that was left unlocked. In order to prevent this situation from occurring, rules about password lengths or employees bringing personal flash drives into the company should be created and followed.As Internet become a worldwide phenomenon, the use of information technology is growing more than ever. With more use and accessibility to Internet, new threats against companies have also emerged. This report brings up the main issues that a company needs to regulate today.The standard for regulations and proposals for IT-security comes in a document called ISO 17799 and very complicated for those who are not experts in the field.

Sammanfattning Uppsatsens titel: Delårsrapporter- Hur viktig är granskning för trovärdigheten? Seminariedatum: 17 januari 2002 Ämne/kurs: Kandidatuppsats i redovisning, 10 poäng Författare: Mats Eriksson Mary Johansson Caroline Karlsson Gustaf Sandberg Handledare: Fredrik Ljungdahl Företag: Active Biotech, Andersen, Aspiro, Axis, Deloitte & Touche, Ernst & Young, KPMG, Switchcore Sex nyckelord:Informationsgivning, delårsrapporter, översiktlig granskning, regleringar, utveckling, assurance Syfte: Vårt syfte med uppsatsen har varit att besvara följande frågor: På vilka grunder tas beslut om granskning? Har granskade delårsrapporter högre trovärdighet? Finns det någon alternativ metod, förutom granskning, som kan garantera tillförlitlighet i delårsrapporter? Metod: Vi har valt att genom abduktion behandla granskning av delårsrapporter ur revisorers och företags perspektiv. För att samla in empiri har vi gjort intervjuer med båda grupperna. Denna har vi sedan analyserat tillsammans med annan primär data för att komma fram till våra slutsatser. Slutsatser: Vi anser inte det nödvändigt med utökad reglering av granskningen av delårsrapporter.
