Many studies have been conducted of different types of business networks in recent years. Despite this, there is a lack of research concerning industry-transcending formal networks which are limited to a specific region.

The purpose with our study is to create an understanding of why enterprises choose to be a part of the network and what they feel is the gain of their membership.

Bakgrund: De senaste årens skandaler inom näringslivet har resulterat i att flertalet lagar och regler har skärpts. I Sverige har exempelvis nya och strängare regler för extern revision införts genom Revisionsstandard i Sverige, RS. I dagsläget gäller RS för alla aktiebolag och till följd av detta samt regeringens förslag att förbjuda kombiuppdrag har lett till en debatt gällande revisionsplikten i mindre aktiebolag. I många europeiska länder är dock små aktiebolag undantagna från kravet att genomgå extern revision.Syfte: Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att utifrån ett intressentperspektiv ge ett förslag på hur revisionsplikten i mindre svenska aktiebolag bör se ut i framtiden.Avgränsningar: Denna uppsats behandlar endast revisionsplikt i aktiebolag, eller motsvarande utländsk företagsform. Dessutom har kretsen av intressenter begränsats till att enbart gälla myndigheter och banker.Tillvägagångssätt: Genom intervjuer med Ekobrottsmyndigheten, Skatteverket och fem banker samt genom att studera lagstiftningen gällande revisionsplikt i Sverige, Norge, Danmark, Finland, Frankrike, Tyskland och Storbritannien kunde ett förslag till den framtida revisionsplikten i mindre aktiebolag utarbetas.Resultat: Jämförelsen länderna emellan visar att det med hjälp av redovisningsteorier är svårt att förklara varför vissa länder har revisionsplikt medan andra inte har det.

I detta examensarbete undersöks genom en litteraturstudie om det finns vetenskapligt stöd för att yoga kan förebygga stress hos högskolestudenter vid examinationer och ett försök att förklara den stressminskande effekten av yoga görs med hjälp av KASAM. Resultaten från sex experimentella utvärderingar, som har publicerats i tidskrifter med peer-review visar att yoga lindrar både psykologisk och fysiologisk stress i tentamenssituationer. Detta är i enlighet med tidigare forskning, där effekter av yoga i andra situationer för andra typer av försökspersoner har studerats. Det låga antalet studier och vissa metodologiska brister i studierna motiverar dock att ytterligare forskning genomförs innan en bestämd slutsats om effekten av yoga på tentamensstress kan dras..

Most swedish newspapers have a homepage where their news are presented. Existing guidelines describing how to write for the web often recommends you to keep it short and stay objective. But how about longer pieces of content presented in the print version? What will become of reports, interviews and essays as we?ve come to know them as the printed newspaper goes digital?Interviews with representatives of five swedish newspapers shows that the extent to wich content is being published on the web is connected to the overall purpose of the web presence. The fact that many newspapers does not publish longer pieces of text on the web rather seems to be an economic issue, than a matter of good readability.Past studies shows that longer pieces of text may well work on the web, if the reader?s interest is big enough.

The purpose of this study was to examine the mediators' views on their work; mediation by reason of the breach. The starting point was to find out the mediator's approach and attitude in relation to the perpetrator and victim, and the prevailing regulatory framework. After review of the literature, we came to the realization that knowledge of this area was very limited and thus presents an unexplored topic. It emerged from the results that the mediators emphasize the importance of maintaining impartiality and neutrality in the process of mediation and that it is important to create a good relationship with both parties. The methods used by the mediators is not so different much about, but the mediators apply Crime Prevention Council handbook.

In this experience-based essay, I give examples of events that take place during a typical day at preschool. By highlighting these everyday events, I discuss around the parental role and its importance for children and child development. I apply a historical review when it comes to views on children and child rearing, and reflect on different approaches that we have towards the children. In the discussion, I reflect on the Childs need for boundaries, and thereby try to understand why we act differently in this respect. To gain more knowledge and understanding of the events I have taken help from theories in literature and from my own practical knowledge.

The purpose of this essay has been to do a study on narration as a strategy in history education. By taking a starting point in the perspective that Shulman calls ?wisdom of practice? and other studies I interviewed three teachers that were all experts in narration.

Manuell säkerhetsgranskning av Linuxsystems konfigurationer är en tidskrävandeoch mödosam uppgift. Det existerar flera automatiserade verktyg som säger sigkunna underlätta arbetet, upptäcka uppenbara säkerhetsrisker och genereraunderlag för manuella granskningar.I detta arbetet ställer vi oss frågorna; ?Hur väl klarar befintliga verktyg, på ettautomatiserat vis, att identifiera kritiska konfigurationsbrister i ett linuxsystem??och ?Går det att ta fram metoder som bättre identifierar dessa brister??. Arbetetundersöker detta genom att samla verktyg för automatisk auditing och testar dessa iavsiktligt sårbart konfigurerade testmiljöer baserade på vedertagna riktlinjer försystemhärdning. Parallellt med detta tog vi också ta fram förbättradeidentifieringsmetoder genom att utveckla ett eget verktyg som inkluderas iundersökningen..
