Diskussionerna om ?granskning? av miljö- och hÄllbarhetsredovisningar har i Sverige funnits sedan mitten av 1990-talet. Specialistrevisorn Lars-Olle Larsson menar att efterfrÄgan ökar angÄende bestyrkta hÄllbarhetsredovisningar. Detta pÄ grund av de ökade kraven frÄn organisationer som Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), Förenta Nationerna (FN) och Amnesty International. Med andra ord har uppmÀrksamheten riktas mot sÄvÀl företagens samhÀllsansvar som den enskilda revisorn och revisorsprofessionen.Det finns en pÄgÄende forskningsdebatt som grundar sig pÄ struktur kontra bedömning i revisionsprocessen.

Intresset för studien kom genom upptÀckten av ?Idrott hela livet ? strategisk plan för idrottens folkhÀlsoarbete? som Àr ett dokument frÄn Riksidrottsförbundet som tar upp att idrotten vill: ?agera för ett starkt föreningsliv byggt pÄ demokratiska principer och stÀrka medlemmarnas engagemang, inflytande och delaktighet?. Syftet med studien blev följaktligen att beskriva hur konsulenterna pÄ Hallands distriktsidrottsförbund uttrycker vilka processer och strukturer som Àr förutsÀttningar för medlemmars delaktighet och inflytande i föreningslivet Valet grundar sig Àven i det faktum att delaktighet har bevisats betydelsefull för bÄde lÀrande och hÀlsa. Genom vÄrt val av att vilja se hur konsulenterna uttrycker sig om sitt arbete passade kvalitativa intervjuer, som genomfördes med alla (fyra) konsulenterna pÄ valda distriktsidrottsförbund. Intervjuerna bearbetades genom en kvalitativ innehÄllsanalys och det som framkom var att den demokratiska processen, med Ärsmötet, var en struktur och process som har stor betydelse för delaktighet och inflytande i föreningar.

The purpose of this study is to investigate ethnic discrimination in the recruitment process. National and international law protect individuals from ethnic discrimination by potential employers during the recruitment process.Despite the laws in place to protect human rights, minorities in society do not have the same opportunities in the labor market as the rest of the population. Minorities continue to have difficulties compared to Swedish nationals in the recruiting process. Highly educated immigrants seeking employment in Sweden continue to report being treated unfairly based on their ethnic background.Ethnic discrimination in the recruiting process is based on prejudice and stereotypes that affect decisions whether it is visible or hidden, intentional or unintentional.Under the law, it is not legal to base a decision on prejudices or stereotypes. Therefore, it is important for the employer to highlight the job requirements to ensure the recruitment process is ethical.

De ansÄg att barnen mÄr bra av en god struktur i vardagen. Slutsatsen av studien Àr att pedagogen bör utforma en strukturerad lÀromiljö och tillgodose individens behov för att varje barn ska kunna utvecklas och mÄ bra i vardagen.

This thesis reports on a case study of two different organisational forms in the Swedish forest industry; the geographic and the functional organisation. The work in the geographic organisation is carried out within districts under the supervision of an overall responible district manager, where as in the functional organisation the work has been divided into functions headed by function managers. Forest magement, logging and wood purchases are examples of such functions. The general idea of the functional organisation is having the functions working over a larger geographic unit, without subdividing district boundaries of the region. Also a third organisational form of current interest for the forest industry; the process orientated organisation, is analyzed in the case study. Here, a company outside the forest industry has been analyzed, since no forest company was considered to have made as much progress of changing organisation to process orientation. In the report I present the results from qualitative interviews, where I give the reader a picture of the motives behind each organisational form, what the form implies for some of the company?s interested parties and the organisations? views on future organisational development.

MÄnga webbgrÀnssnitt idag misslyckas med att möta anvÀndarnas behov och blir dÀrför bristfÀlliga gÀllande anvÀndarvÀnligheten. Detta leder till att anvÀndarna begÄr stora misstag och anstrÀnger sig vid anvÀndningen av webbaserade system. Visuell design och struktur i ett grÀnssnitt spelar en stor roll i hur anvÀndarna förstÄr sig pÄ och tolkar ett grÀnssnitt dÄ de avser hur olika beteenden och information kommuniceras till anvÀndarna. I denna studie undersöks hur visuell design, struktur och anvÀndbarhet i ett grÀnssnitt underlÀttar anvÀndarnas kognitiva bearbetning av information vid utförande av komplexa uppgifter. Studien har utförts genom ett uppdrag för Ahltorpmedia AB, som skapar lösningar för bl.a.

 The sawmill industry is a relative fragmented industry that is in an economic upswing andwith a hard competition. The customers have high demands on their suppliers and the highcustomer demand make it necessary for the companies to make a streamlining in planningand production. For that reason it is very important that the planning- and productionprocesses aren?t to complex and with a simple structure.The purpose of this report is to study and map out a marked out part of a planning- andproduction process, from adjust works to final delivery, at a company in the sawmill industry.Different methods have been used for the report, among others interviews and subordinatedmaterial.We have mapped out a marked out part of the planning- and production process at theCompany. This part we have studied, and we have analysed the process it self and otherthings connected to the process.We see the planning- and production process in the Company as complex.

Opcon Powerbox is a product developed by Opcon together with the underlying company SRM (Svenska Rotor Maskiner) where surplus heat from the industry is used through an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC)?process to produce electricity. An ORC-process is a thermodynamic circle process in which a refrigerant is used as the working fluid. The refrigerant makes it possible for the circle process to operate at lower temperatures than the conventional Rankine process.In this master?s thesis a data analysis software for the Opcon Powerbox has been developed in which measurement data is retrieved and handled from the Opcon Powerbox.

Business Process Modelling Notation (BPMN) is a way to graphically draw a diagram of a business process. A BPMN diagram consists of several so-called flow objects. These are interconnected in the graph through sequence  flows. BPMN models are merely graphical representations of business process and there is a need to simulate these diagrams for different purposes. The simulation that now is available for BPMN is that the model is evaluated by checking if it is correct.
