AbstractTitle: Accounting firms´ view on the (new law) in joint-stock companiesCourse: Business Administration, Financial Accounting in Corporations and Groups, Ad-vanced Course, 15 ECTSAuthors: Mikaela Uveby, Shadi Nourbehesht, Almira DizdarevicAdvisor: Kent TrosanderProblem: During the last few years, more importance and emphasis has been put on auditors and accounting in general due to a number of company and business scandals on both national and international levels. The United States as well as the EU consid-ered it a necessity to make regulations stricter when it comes to auditing and ac-counts in order to increase the public trust to accounting. At January 1st, 2007, Sweden also changed its law concerning accounting firm challenges. The new law states that as soon as someone of the auditor?s co-workers assists a client with some part of the basic bookkeeping, the main bookkeeping or the drawing-up of the an-nual account, the challenge situation becomes a fact.Purpose: The purpose of the essay is to examine and inquire into how the renewed law con-cerning accounting firm challenges, that was established and put to action at Janu-ary 1st, 2007, has affected accounting firms.Method: The writers have chosen to complete qualitative interviews in order to get a deeper insight to and an understanding of the topic.Conclusion: One year after the renewal of the law, the writers have reached the conclusion of that the new law has not had a great impact on the accounting firms.

The purpose of this study is to describe melanotic tumours and the pathogenesis of these tumours. The focus of this study is on differences between benign and malignant tumours as well as the prognosis one may expect when diagnosing this disease. The mechanisms responsible for the occurrences of the tumours are not yet fully understood. It is believed that factors such as chronic trauma, infections, medications and hormones affect the cell mechanisms in some way. Determinants of the malignancy of the tumour are not completely known.

Denna rapport handlar om diagnostik av Crohns sjukdom och i synnerhet om magnetkamerans roll för att uppnå en bättre bedömning och kartläggning av sjukdomen. Crohns sjukdom kan avbildas med hjälp av många olika tekniker, vi har valt att kolla på de tre vanligaste tekniker: genomlysning, kapselendoskopi och magnetkameraundersökning. Rapporten går kort genom sjukdomsbilden, kapselendoskopi och genomlysning, för att sedan gå djupare i magnetkamera- (MR) tekniken som är grunden till detta arbete. Den tekniska utvecklingen i magnetkamerateknik har gjort det möjligt att med hjälp av snabba MR-sekvenser förkorta undersökningstiden på buken, och därmed göra det möjligt att utesluta problem som t.ex. rörelseartefakter.

Att ha aktivitetsbalans är en fördel för att uppleva hälsa och förebygga stress. Tidigare forskning tyder på att de finns många outforskade samband mellan dessa faktorer. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka aktivitetsbalans, hälsa och stress hos yrkesverksamma individer samt sambanden mellan dessa variabler. Syftet var vidare att jämföra dessa variablers samband hos kvinnor respektive män samt hos de som har hemmaboende barn respektive de som ej har hemmaboende barn. Urvalsgruppen bestod av 300 individer, varav 250 var kvinnor och 50 män, 135 hade hemmaboende barn och 162 hade inte hemmaboende barn.

AimThe main aim of the study was to investigate the difference in bilateral deficit between rowers and sprinters during maximal eccentric/concentric muscle actions.? Are there any significant differences in bilateral deficit between rowers and sprinters?? Do the amount of years in practice effect the bilateral deficit?MethodFourteen male subject participants divided in 2 equal sized groups (7 individuals in each group; rowers and sprinters) performed maximal unilateral/bilateral eccentric and concentric muscle actions in a leg press machine at a velocity of 0.2m/s. The range of motion in the knee joint was 70° ? 140°. Dependent t-tests have been performed within each group pre and post test.

Asien har en enorm tillväxttakt som under senare år har lockat många utländska investerare och företag. Kina är ett av de länder i Asien som har haft starkast tillväxt och har även den överlägset största konsumentmarknaden. Problem som Kina, liksom andra utvecklingsländer i tillväxtstadiet, har är den brist på infrastruktur och fungerande distributionskanaler som en marknad behöver för att locka utländska företagsetableringar. Det instabila politiska klimatet i Kina avskräcker fortfarande vissa utländska företag att etablera sig. Syftet med undersökningen har därför varit att studera vilka faktorer som påverkat lönsamheten för de svenska företagen på den kinesiska marknaden.Utifrån en surveyundersökning över 55 svenska företag med dotterbolag i Kina, studerade vi hur tidigare erfarenhet, lokalanpassning och etableringsform påverkat lönsamheten.Resultaten från undersökningen visar att majoriteten av svenska företagen etablerat sig via helägt dotterbolag trots att joint ventures haft en något bättre lönsamhet.

Kronisk Obstruktiv Lungsjukdom (KOL) är en av de vanligaste lungsjukdomarna i Sverige. En konstant nedsatt lungkapacitet kan påverka utförandet av aktiviteter. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka möjligheter, begränsningar och förändringar i aktiviteter i det dagliga livet (adl) hos personer med KOL. Vid insamling av information användes enkät. Deltagarantalet i studien uppgick till 144 personer och resultatet visade att nästan hälften av undersökningspersonerna utförde aktiviteter i det dagliga livet i långsammare tempo än innan insjuknandet.

Aim: The aim of this study was to compare how patients with diabetes type 2 self-estimate their self-consciousness, problem identification, stress management and the willingness to change before and after a daycare week. The aim was also to compare if the value on HbA1c have changed after the daycare week compared to before.Method: A total of 60 patients who recived offer to participate in a daycare week at a clinic on a university hospital in Sweden. Patients replied a form (SWE-DES-SF-10) before (n=60) and three months after (n=35) the daycare week. They also left a blood sample for HbA1c before (n=60) and three months after (n=42) the daycare week. The forms and HbA1c-values were analyzed using wilcoxon´s signed-rank test and paired t-test. Results: After the daycare week estimated the participating patiens their self-consciousness and problem identification higher than before the daycare week.

This thesis is a contribution to the discussion on the public library?s institutional identity in late modernity. The aim is to shed light on the public library?s identity as expressed through its public events. The thesis seeks to answer the following questions: What kind of public events are offered at public libraries? What themes distinguish the content of these events? What characterizes the institutional identity expressed through these events? In addition to the concept of institutional identity, a model of four library spaces, developed by Skot-Hansen, Hvenegaard Rasmussen, and Jochumsen, constitutes the theoretical framework of this thesis.

AbstractThe purpose of my essay is to describe how some educators perceive the cooperation that takes place every day in the team to wich they belong. To do this, I have implemented six qualitative interviews with educators at two diffrent workteams. I based my questions on three scientific questions:- How does the cooperation in the team work?- How has the cooperation between the various kind of educators developedsince the pre-school class and the leisure-time centres was integrated with the school?- Which conditions exist for a good cooperation?The result showed that there were both similarities and differences between the teams, but common to both teams was that the educators felt that there have been some major positive changes to the cooperation in the teams in the last few years and that they were fairly satisfied with how the cooperation of their teams function now. Mostly they cooperates during school hours with various school projects, but questions concerning the pupils wellbeing is also an important area of cooperation.Since the integration was implemented, the cooperation has become more equal and the various educators have found their respective roles.
