The increasing administration in IT-systems is the target of much debate today. It is viewed as taking time from what is considered to be managers? real tasks as well as resulting in an ineffective and stressful work environment. This view of IT-systems as problematic and time consuming can also been found among unit managers in a municipality in the north of Sweden. To be able to understand why IT-systems are perceived in this way this study?s aim has been to find what leads to this view.

In the country of Jordan, egg production is very important economically, but several bacte-ria are involved in food borne diseases transmitted from eggs or other poultry products. The most important are Salmonella spp., Campylobacter jejuni and Escherichia coli. In Jordan two different housing systems are used for hens in large scale egg production; con-ventional cages and litter floor systems. Eggs from four different farms were analysed and compared to see if a difference could be found regarding the presence of pathogenic bacte-ria on the egg surfaces between these two systems. Total number of aerobic bacteria was analysed, the presence of Salmonella spp., C.

Informationssäkerhet är något väldigt aktuellt i dagsläget då mer och mer information och arbetsuppgifter datoriseras. Det är därför viktigt att de som arbetar med datorer har en god informationssäkerhetsmedvetenhet. Denna studie är utförd på Skatteverkets kontor i Linköping genom främst ett antal intervjuer. Studien inriktar sig på personalens informations- säkerhetsmedvetenhet samt hur Skatteverkets åtgärder påverkar personalens informations- säkerhetsmedvetenhet.Den teoretiska referensramen byggs till största del upp av teori kring informationssäkerhet och informations- säkerhetsmedvetenhet, samt även till viss del av organisationsteori. Teorin har sedermera fått utgöra hur informationssäkerheten bör se ut, generellt sett, i en organisation.

The aim of this study was to compare the Query-by-Humming systems Midomi, Musicline and Tunebot regarding their retrieval effectiveness. The aim was to see if there were differences between the systems but also between the user groups common users, musicians and singers. Query-by-Humming system means that the user sings a tune that the system then use to find the right melody.To compare the systems and their users, queries where collected from the different user groups and replayed for the systems. Mean Reciprocal Rank and Friedman test was used to do the comparison.The results showed that the system did not achieve equivalent and that there were no difference between the user groups. The Mean Reciprocal Rank showed that the systems had very different retrieval effectiveness, where Midomi was the system with best result and Musicline with the lowest result..

Uppsatsen behandlar den finansiella redovisningen av avsättningar för avhjälpande av förorenings­skador. Syftet är att undersöka hur ägarkoncentrationen hänger samman med den grad av informationspublicering företag har valt kring dessa avsättningar. I studien undersöks 44 företag inom olika branscher och med olika ägandeformer. I jämförelsen mellan samtliga fallföretag konstaterar vi att det finns ett samband mellan låg ägar­­kon­centration och hög grad av informations­publicering. Vi diskuterar också hur graden av vinstsyfte kan påverka graden av informations­publicering.

The connection between management control systems for controlling sustainability and a firm's motivation for engaging in sustainability is not completely understood (Arjaliès & Mundy, 2013). The aim of this thesis is to develop a more profound understanding for management control in achieving sustainable companies. To do this, we raise the question: How and to what extent do companies use management control systems to achieve sustainability compliance Simons's Levers of Control (1995) are applied to this question in order to get a consistent and thorough insight of management control systems. Hence, a case study of ABB:s work to achieve material compliance in accordance with EU-regulation was conducted. The findings of the case study reveal that ABB uses the regulations as explicit goals and implement them in sustainability procedures.

The purpose of this master thesis is to, with the strategies of the organization and the preferences of the co-workers in mind, explore how reward systems can be designed in heterogeneous organizations. This is done by interviewing store managers and sales personnel in a heterogeneous organization. The frame of reference deals with theoretical approaches on reward systems and is divided in the following sections, individual or group based, differentiated or not differentiated rewards systems and goals, measurements and rewards. These sections are highlighted from the following aspects, equity, implementation possibilities and finally environment. The theoretical discussion ends in the conclusion that heterogeneous organizations should have several different reward systems, but not if a restructuring process is in progress or the system becomes too costly.

Titel ?Jag tycker bra om miljömärkningar, men tänker att man nog luras lite av dem.?- en studie om informations- och kommunikationsstrukturer i en miljömedveten livsstilFörfattare Jennifer Lindgren & Anna SporreUppdragsgivare Miljömärkningen Svanen (Miljömärkningen Sverige AB)Kurs Examensarbete i Medie? och kommunikationsvetenskap, Institutionen för journalistik, medier och kommunikation vidGöteborgs universitetTermin Vårterminen 2014Sidantal / ord 43 sidor / 14.600 ordSyfte Syftet med studien är att beskriva vilka informations- och kommunikationsstrukturer som finns i en miljömedveten livsstilMetod Kvalitativa respondentintervjuerMaterial Tio samtalsintervjuerHuvudresultat Studiens resultat pekar mot att det finns ett intresse och en vilja hos personer med miljömedveten livsstil att öka sin kunskap kring miljömärkningar, men att det finns faktorer sombegränsar deras möjligheter. De vanligaste orsakerna uppges vara tidsbrist och svårtillgänglig information. Det finns en preferens för informationskällor som erbjuder kort och koncis information, men samtidigt inbjuder till mer läsning för den som har tid. Genom att presentera klar och tydlig information om Svanen på nätet, tillsammans med en stark profil i sociala medier, ökar möjligheterna att nå ut med budskap till den målgrupp som Svanen avser stärka sin relation med.

Swedish healthcare systems have endured harsh criticism from healthcare professionals because of their inability to understand healthcare processes. These systems have been identified as significant time consumers, and Swedish healthcare is therefore facing a major challenge to assure patient safety. The following paper is based on a workplace study, which aims to examine healthcare systems? impact on physicians? practices. Our findings show that physicians spend substantial amounts of time chasing information, rather than managing information and pursuing healthcare.

The Work has been performed to, and in cooperation with Vetlanda Energi och teknik AB.District heating for commercial purpose started in the USA in 1877. Today the network has grown into big and complex systems, which demand maintenance and service to keep up the security of the delivery.
