Abstract: Syftet med denna studie har varit att undersöka hur en grupp äldrepeagogstudenter upplever sin kommande yrkesroll och hur professionsutvecklingen för äldrepedagoger ser ut. Vi har undersökt hur professionsutveckling ser ut utifrån den vetenskapliga litteraturens uppställda professionskriterier och hur dessa professionskriterier bedöms ha betydelse för formandet av en profession. För att komma åt våra grundläggande frågeställningar och för att förstå äldrepedagogers utveckling består det empiriska materialet dels av en litteraturstudie och dels av kvalitativt öppna intervjuer. För att tolka och förstå empirin är teorier kring profession, professionsutveckling och socialkonstruktivism centrala i studien. De kriterier vi utgått från är följande: professionell kunskap bör vara förankrad i en systematisk teori, den professionellt utbildade har auktoritet, de professionella ska inneha etiska regler och yrkeskåren ska ha bildat en egen organisation.

Den samhällsrelaterade redovisningen har utvecklats under de senaste åren och fått en allt större betydelse för företagen och dess intressenter. Att utvecklingen går mot mer kunskapsintensiva verksamheter borde öka betydelsen av personalredovisning, vilken är en del av den samhällsrelaterade redovisningen. Det bör ligga i företagens intresse att redovisa sin personalrelaterade information med tanke på att det är en allt viktigare tillgång. Med anledning av att det endast finns ett fåtal regler för hur personalen skall redovisas, väljer företagen det sätt som passar repektive företag bäst. Syftet med undersökningen är att klargöra för i vilken omfattning svenska börsnoterade företag redovisar sin personalrelaterade information, om det skiljer sig mellan företagen beroende av branschtillhörighet, storlek eller någon annan faktor.

In the European Convention and the EU charter the principle ne bis in idem is provided, which implies that a person can not be tried or punished twice for the same offense. Since the European Convention was incorporated into Swedish law in 1995 the principles application has been discussed in tax law. Several cases have been examined by the European Court and the Supreme Court (HD) in order to determine whether dual punishment has occurred in the national rules concerning tax surcharge, tax crime and accounting fraud. The judicial trials have brought different assessments concerning the matter, which have resulted in a lack of clarity on the application of the principle in Swedish law.The thesis purpose is to clarify whether the principle ne bis in idem is applicable on the relationship between tax surcharge and tax crime, and the relationship between tax surcharge and accounting fraud.The authors' conclusion is that the principle ne bis in idem is applicable on the relationship between tax surcharge and tax crime because both sanctions are considered criminal in nature and concern the same crime, since they are based on substantially the same circumstances. Furthermore, the principle ne bis in idem is considered applicable on the relationship tax surcharge and accounting fraud, because both sanctions are criminal in nature and their circumstances have a connection, therefore they are considered as the same crime..
