Mösseberg är ett platåberg med intressant natur med en stor variation av biotoper och växtarter. I det här projektet har inventeringar utförts i bland annat slåttermarker, torrbackar, raviner, rasbranter, extremrikkärr och ädellövskog. Projektets syfte är att inventera 25 hotade eller sällsynta växtarter i Falköpings kommun, efter ett delmål i Falköpings naturvårdsprogram. Det är också en uppföljning av ett examensarbete som utfördes 2008 inom samma område. I projektet undersöktes hur arternas status har förändrats sedan tidigare år, vad anledningen till förändringen är samt vilka skötselåtgärder som kan förbättra arternas status i framtiden.

Undersökningen, som är explorativ, syftar till att jämföra svenska personers erfarenheter och tankar om utbrändhet med amerikanska medborgares. Det gjordes 7 intervjuer på två grupper, 4st svenska och 3st amerikanska, och urvalet var till viss del bekvämlighetsurval. Dock var status i grupperna relativt homogent då några inom varje grupp själva var eller hade varit utbrända och andra inte. Intervjufrågorna var av den karaktären att av svaren skulle man kunna få en allmän uppfattning huruvida fenomenet utbränd responseras olika i två relativt lika länder. Resultatet visar, i allmänhet, att man inte diskuterar fenomenet utbränd/burnout i samma utsträckning i USA som i Sverige samt att det finns olika strategier för att undvika det..

Syftet med uppsatsen är att med utgångspunkt från redovisningsprofessionen tydliggöra skillnader mellan nuvarande redovisningsstandard och den kommande IFRS-standarden. Utifrån vårt syfte kan frågan ställas om hur implementeringen av IFRS kommer att ske? För att lösa detta problem har vi valt att strukturera upp uppsatsen utifrån ett internationellt, nationellt och ett företagsperspektiv. Vi har grundat våra analyser på intervjuer genomförda med revisionsbolag. Utifrån dessa analyser har vi sedan kommit fram till att professionen ser på internationaliseringen som en naturlig process i positiv riktning.

Bakgrund: Denna litteraturstudie handlar om avnavling och när det är optimalt att avnavla det fullgångna friska barnet. Avnavling har länge varit ett diskuterat ämne bland obstetriker, barnmorskor och föräldrar. Föreliggande studie ska bidra till att öka barnmorskans och övrig vårdpersonals medvetenhet om när avnavling bör ske och när det är fördelaktigt för barnet att avnavlas. Rekommendationen är att friska fullgångna barn avnavlas sent om inte situationen kräver en tidig avnavling eller att föräldrarna önskar tidig avnavling pga. donation till biobanken.

The bachelor's thesis is to examine the explanatory factors affecting the choice of capital structure in real estate companies. The analysis is based on data collected from the main financial reporting from 2007; all listed real estate companies listed on Swedish, Norwegian, Danish and Finnish stock market. Based on previous research and theories, we have defined five independent variables that are linked to the debt ratio, which are: profitability, growth, firm size, cost of debt and operational risk. The statistical tests have resulted in that we can say with certainty that profitable firms tend to have a lower debt to equity ratio. We can also say with certainty that property companies with high interest costs have a high level of indebtedness..

I den inledande delen av arbetet försöker vi förklara begreppet brottsoffer och de juridiska aspekterna kring uttrycket. För att få en inblick i brottsofferfrågornas framväxt har vi berört de viktigaste milstolparna och reformerna som gjorts i Sverige under de senaste decennierna angående ett brottsoffers status. Som exempel kan nämnas kvinnofridsdebatten som pågått under årtionden. Vidare beskriver arbetet polisens informationsskyldighet och informationsplikt. Miniminivån för polisens informationsskyldighet styrs av polisens avrapporteringssystem, rationella anmälansrutin (RAR), som är direkt kopplat till förundersökningskundgörelsen (FUK).

The purpose of this study is to examine what factors that motivate people to work in professions with an explicit and inherent risk of threats and violence. By using a qualitative study and conducting in-depth interviews with eight security guards and doormen with experience from working at restaurants and nightclubs, the study could conclude that the interviewed security guards and doormen were motivated mainly by economic incentives and the social interaction that the profession entails. Status and riskiness of the profession did also, to a certain extent, contribute to the motivation. The professions' lack of advancement opportunities were frequently mentioned as the main reason to why one chose to leave the position, or consider the time in the profession as limited..

Utbildning ses ofta som en nödvändighet för att kunna konkurrera på arbetsmarknaden och ha möjlighet att göra karriär. För att bli en lyckad företagare är det inte säkert att utbildning är lika nödvändigt. Tidigare forskning tyder på att utbildning minskar sannolikheten att vara företagare. Denna uppsats undersöker hur utbildning påverkar sannolikheten att vara företagare och om effekten skiljer sig mellan kvinnor och män. Resultatet tyder på ett negativt samband för både kvinnor och män.

This study is a semi-­structured, qualitative depth-­interview study investigating Swedish institutional investors' perception of the fact that companies purchase non-­audit services from its signing auditor and if they see this as a threat to auditor independence. The study focuses on independence in appearance rather than independence in fact. The study is based on the current media debate on auditor independence and aims to provide a deeper insight to enlighten legislators how users of audited financial information look at the problem. The study builds on agency theory's notion that there is an information asymmetry between management and shareholders, which the auditor is to reduce. The results show that Swedish institutional investors perceive that there is a threat to auditor independence when companies buy non­-audit services from its signing auditor.

The purpose of this essay is to investigate whether the implementation of the Solvency II directive will create a competitive advantage for the Swedish insurance companies compared with other insurance companies in Europe.Therefore the theoretical perspective illustrates the specific requirements and risk culture of the insurance industry and defines the critical success factors for a successful implementation of the directive. The empirical foundation is built on the QIS 5 reports for Sweden and Europe, interviews with the financial services and If insurance company as well as information from a seminar organized by KPMG. The analysis shows that the Swedish insurance companies meets the capital requirements of Solvency II by a large margin and that they are accustomed to risk management and reporting requirements from the traffic light model. This implies that the three critical success factors for a successful implementation of Solvency II are met, although with some limitations, and that Swedish insurance companies could possibly have a competitive advantage.     .
