The major difference between venture capital-firms and other financiers is that their business idea is not only providing capital but also knowledge in business development. The ownership structure of an venture capital-firm can be private as well as public. The Swedish government is today one of the major actors in the Swedish venture capital-industry. The purpose of this study is to shed light on how venture capital-firms involve itself in its portfolio firm and if this contributes to an increased value of the portfolio firm. We also try to shed light on differences in how a public and a private venture capital-firm gets involved in its portfolio firm and if there is any difference in how they can contribute to added value.We have chosen to interview two public and two private venture capital-firms and one of their portfolio firms.

Sammanfattning Bakgrund: Sedan 1988 har det i Sverige varit lagstadgad revision för alla aktiebolag. Denna revision innefattar både räkenskapsrevision och förvaltningsrevision. Enligt en svensk utredning om den lagstadgade revisionen för alla bolag är det föreslaget att förvlatningsrevisionen skall avskaffas helt. Om denna tas bort försvinner även revisorns uttalande om att bevilja styrelse och vd ansvarsfrihet.Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka ledningens inställning och nytta av förvaltningsrevisionen samt att utreda ifall även ledningen främjas, genom en förbättrad och smidigare relation till ägarna, av förvaltningsrevisionen.Metod: För att uppnå syftet med uppsatsen har en internetbaserad enkät med en kvantitativ insamlingsmetod använts. Denna undersökning har skickats via mail till styrelse och vd genom ett tillgänglighetsurval.

Studiens syfte är att undersöka hur Gaste som fenomen uppfattas av de aktiva där, samt samspelet mellan lärande, individer och kulturen där. Med hjälp av det som Vygotskij kallade sociokulturellt perspektiv, belyser vi hur dessa kategorier samspelar och skapas genom varandra. Genom kvalitativa intervjuer av de aktiva på platsen belyser studien hur de ser på Gastes kultur och de lärosituationer som uppstår på platsen. Studien synliggör hur viktiga de informella lärandesituationer som uppstår till vardags är för utveckling och lärande, både på kollektiv och individuell nivå..

In this examination project I look into what ways upper secondary school students conceive themselves as politically influenced before they voted for the general election of 2010. The purpose is to examine which influences the upper secondary school surroundings and the classes of civic education are contributing with to students before they voted. As a method, I have used personal, semi-structural interviews on eight upper secondary school students who all voted for a party represented in the parliament. I have asked questions about how they believe their parents, the surroundings of their school and the classes of civic education have influenced them. To separate which influences primarily the upper secondary school and the classes of civic educations have had on the students, I have selected two comparison groups of four students in each.

The poultry red mite, Dermanyssus gallinae, is a common problem in poultry facilities, causing great discomfort for the hens and effecting the production economically. Few efficient acaricides are available and there is a need for new control methods since resistance has become a problem in some cases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of the new liquid silica control agent Ectopar, on the poultry red mite. An initial in vitro test of Ectopar and its two components individually was performed, where live mites were sealed in together with filter paper impregnated with one of the three solutions prepared. The survival of the mites was thereafter recorded repeatedly during a period of 120 hours and compared to a control. For the field study, two poultry farms with different housing systems were used, one with furnished cages (farm 1) and one with a single tier floor system (farm 2).

Wood has always been an important material for people, and it is used for many applications. As for example, fuel for cooking and heating houses, construction materials and for constructing means of transport. Since wood also is a material that with time biologically degrades due to activity by micro organisms and wood fungi it is important to find ways to protect and further lengthen the life span of the material when in service. One method is to decrease the amount of water in the material by impregnation with an hydrophobic oil. The Linotech method which uses only pure linseed oil is one such possible method. The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility to at the same time impregnate and stain/colour wood samples of pine and spruce by using the Linotech method.

Resande, globalt engagemang och arbete utomlands av olika former är företeelser som förändrar människors syn på världen. Dessa tillhör samtiden och de blir därmed aktuella och relevanta att diskutera. Att vi lever i en global värld påverkar våra livsvillkor och innebär i sin tur nya möjligheter och förutsättningar för individen. Begrepp som är centrala att diskutera blir därmed livsstil, engagemang, svenskhet och världsmedborgarskap..

Nytt operahus på Frihamnspiren blir en ny attraktionspunkt för den framtida stadsdelen. Byggnaden skapar ett eget skärgårdslandskap längst ut på piren och möjliggör för kollektiv båttrafik, gästhamn samt en ny park. Den arkitektoniska idén baseras på den dominanta gatan som ger piren en tydlig riktning och drar människor till platsen. Genom att att låta stråket förlängas genom byggnaden och avslutas i en stor foajé, skapas ett naturligt flöde genom byggnadens offentliga del. Foajén erbjuder bland annat en fantastisk utsikt mot havet..

This study represents the different factors that may have an influence on the budgetproposal in the local government for the revision. The revision in the local government is an important part of councillors and public insight into the different activities.
