This report has a dual focus. The first goal was to increase the knowledge of how the use of electricity in a residential building is distributed. Electricity in residential buildings is used for lighting in common areas, elevators, pumps and many other appliances. The electricity used for these different parts is to a great extent unknown. A few studies have been carried out and the result of these is referred to in this report.By means of measurements and approximations the use of electricity for various appliances became known.

Studien syftar till att undersöka om det finns skillnader mellan hur deltagare av utländskt- och svenskt ursprung i AMA arbetsmarknads verksamhet Utvecklingscentrum definierar sin arbetslöshet och vad de anser är de bakomligganden orsakerna till deras arbetslöshet. Tidigare forskning inom området belyser arbetslösheten som ett samhälligt dilemma och menar att den grupp av människor som drabbas värst är grupper av utländskt ursprung. Valet av undersökningens metod föll på Grundad teori där 6 djupintervjuer genomfördes. Från resultatet utkristalliserades kärnkategorin; utstötta från arbetsmarknaden. Resultatet visar att de utländska deltagarna har angett flera aspekter som de upplever dem bakomliggande orsakerna till deras arbetslöshet, som dock inte igenkänns av de svenska deltagarna då de uppger helt andra orsaker.

With the development of the Internet, illegal copying of electronic documents has become a growing problem. There is an increasing need of prevention in the field of pirate copying. One method is to mark the document by changing some of the words to synonyms. In this way it is possible to construct legal copies which do not differ in content but still are unique. Since the copies of the documents are unique, it is possible to trace the owner of a document and accordingly call him or her to account for pirate copying if several exactly similar copies are reaching the market.

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether a so-called "expectation gap" exist between the accounting consultants and their clients. The excistence of an expectation gap has already been confirmed between auditors and their clients. Interviews were conducted with both accounting consultants and managers to find out what expectations they have for each other. The factors that influence the occurrence of an expectation gap and the size of them are many but the most important factor may be regarded as individuals' different needs and requirements. The gap can be reduced or entirely eliminated by ensuring the quality of an accounting consultant's work, for example, REKO and / or that management have more realistic demands that actually can be met.

The aim of this study is to understand the collaboration at a child investigation and the actions that may be encountered as a result of the investigation, based on the Social Secretaries experiences of collaboration with other agencies such as schools, police, health visitor and child psychiatry. In the study, eight social workers from different municipalities was interviewed at a total of six occasions. One of the occasions was a group interview with three social workers at the same time. Through the interviews, it appears that the collaboration has an important role in social work and the necessity is something that manifests itself in the social secretaries stories but also in the earlier research done in this area. The results show that social workers extensively want to interact but that the purpose of interaction varies depending on the nature of the matter.

A new visual identity for the ski store Alpingaraget in Stockholm has been proposed as the result of this thesis. Theproposal includes a new logotype, various printed matters, design planning of the store, interior design, signs and otherapplications.The theory section is within the field of graphic profiling and with some focus on profiling in stores.A clear visual identity is important for a company because what the company communicates internally and externallyshould be kept as consistent as possible. This is especially important nowadays when more and more similar products andstores are available. This means that the visual identity becomes part of the competition with other products and stores.The base elements in a visual identity are logotype, colors and typograpy. Using these elements according to rules andtemplates makes a consistent visual profile..

Syftet med uppsatsen är att belysa den principiella förändringen av svenska försvarsmaktensprestationsform från krigsförberedelser till aktiva militära operationer mot bakgrund av Clausewitzstrategiska teori. Författaren har använt hypotetisk ? deduktiv slutledningsmetod.Följande resultat framkom av undersökningen: Sveriges strategiska ledning skiljer sig mycketavseende organisatoriska förutsättningar i fred från Storbritannien och Frankrike. Sverige haren erfarenhet av att i första hand styra försvarsmakten som strategiskt medel först i krig, vilkethar resulterat i ad hoc lösningar i kriser, exempelvis U 137-krisen. Vidare framkom avundersökningen att försvarsmakten har fyllt sin strategiska effekt genom att göra krigsförberedelserså att den strategiska ledningen har blivit underordnad den förvaltningsmässiga styrningen,vilken i huvudsak har täckt regeringens behov.

Syftet är att undersöka den kinesiska redovisningsutvecklingen med utgångspunkt i den institutionella teorin. Vi har gjort en litteraturstudie samt intervjuat revisorer i Kina som komplement till forskningen. Forskningen bygger på en deduktiv metod med en deskriptiv ansats. Vår studie bygger på de centrala arbetena inom institutionell teori av Scott, Puxty et al, DiMaggio & Powell samt Oliver. Vi har även använt Hofstedes studier av kulturdimensioner.

Vi vill öka kunskapen kring hur lagen om expansionsfond tillämpas och uppfattas i praktiken, av redovisningskonsulter, enskilda näringsidkare, skattehandläggare, skattejurister och redovisningsexperter. Hur används expansionsfonden och vilka faktorer påverkar dess tillämpningUndersökningen kombinerar Grundad Teori med en diagnostisk analys och bygger på såväl kvantitativ som kvalitativ data.Hälften av redovisningskonsulterna avsätter till expansionsfond i låg utsträckning, trots tillräckligt kapitalunderlag. De upplever expansionsfonden som riskfylld eftersom näringsidkaren har svårt att särskilja fullbeskattat kapital från lågbeskattat. Expansionsfonden väljs därför ofta bort till förmån för periodiseringsfonden. Neutraliteten mellan olika företagsformer fungerar inte i praktiken eftersom verktyget, expansionsfonden, är svårt att förstå för näringsidkaren.

Optimizing energy systems is, in Sweden, as in many other countries, of growing interest. District heating systems are no exception. In 2012, 285 out of 290 municipals in Sweden had district heating in use and the majority of these systems have a higher return temperature than that which is possible with an error-free substation of day current technology. To, when possible, lower the return temperature is a way of increasing the effectiveness of the district heating system.This study means to investigate, through simulations and calculations, how big of a reduction in production cost a lower temperature in the city of Ystad?s district heating system would correspond to.

I den här uppsatsen undersöks, genom ett exempel från finkrögarbranschen, hur främjandet av företagande inom kreativa näringar i Sverige tenderar att reproducera uppdelande och ojämna könsroller. Och hur detta strider emot den politiska diskursen i Sverige idag. Samtliga tolv års nomineringar från Dagens Nyheters restaurangpris, Gulddraken, utgör tillsammans med fem intervjuer genomförda på krögare och journalister det empiriska materialet. Entreprenörskapsteori gjord ur ett genusperspektiv och Floridas teori om den kreativa klassen utgör teorin för studien. Analysen bygger på homosociala processers samverkan med diskursen kring entreprenörskap och Floridas (2006) teori om den kreativa klassen.

Background and problem: The financial crisis 2008-2009 came out from an over-optimism among those who took the real estate loans in the U.S., and especially so-called subprime loans. After the 2008 financial crisis, it has become a global uncertainty in the financial market with low growth, and even financial crises in the euro countries have appeared. The real estate industry is a capital-intensive industry where companies have a high leverage to implement their investment. This means they have a larger proportion of debt relative to equity than companies in other industries. As investments require a lot of capital, real estate companies become dependent on having a working relationship with both the banks and the capital market.

The study is ethnographic and the collected material consists of questionnaires, interviews andconducted practical exercises. The purpose of this study is to examine whether it is possible tochange boys attitude to poetry and poetry teaching through practical exercises. The questionswhich the study is based on concerns how frameworks for tasks can enhance the creativity ofthe students, the standards students have as a reference point and what attitudes boys have topoetry. The study shows that students feel that they are more creative if there is a frameworkfor the task, it has also been shown that boys do not have any special attitude to poetry,because they do not know what the word means. One of the most important results in theresults section is that boys have a positive attitude to poetry as long as the teacher gives themthe right tools to work with..
