This bachelor thesis aims to analyse the effects of changes in management control systems following acquisitions, and deduce whether or not these effects are in line with the acquiring firm's objectives of the acquisition. Through a case study of technician consultant firm Energo, acquired in 2010 by ÅF, the study assumes the perspective of the acquired firm. Data has been collected through in-depth interviews at Energo and ÅF and complemented by internal documents to enrich and validate specific facts and statements. Data was then arranged and analysed through Otley and Fierriera's (2009) framework Performance Management Systems to understand how management control systems were constituted before the acquisition, what changes were made following the acquisition, how this process was accomplished and how it was experienced, in order to come to conclusions about the effects of these changes. The study concludes that the changes in Energo's management control system following the integration with ÅF, had significant effects on the outcome of the acquisition, primarily as it led to a high rate of Energo's employees resigning.

Detta examensarbete behandlar kommutering av en BLDC-motor, borstlös likspÀnningsmotor, med hjÀlp av FPGA, Field Programmable Gate Array. Det jÀmför och diskuterar ocksÄ skillnader mellan de intelligenta aktuatorer som anvÀnds av branchen idag med dumma aktuatorsystem och syftar till att bygga kunskap kring Àmnet. Allt högre krav stÀlls pÄ kommunikationen i ett fordon vad gÀller hastighet och datamÀngd och av denna anledning Àr det av stort intresse att utreda om ett teknikbyte av ett driftkritiskt system som en BLDC-aktuator Àr möjligt och lÀmpligt.Som en fortsÀttning pÄ tidigare examensarbeten som behandlat reglering av en borstlös likspÀnningsmotor med hjÀlp av en dum aktuator löser detta examensarbete ett problem rörande fÀrdigskriven kommuteringskod som uppdagades. Att anvÀnda en FPGA för att ta fram kommuteringssignaler till drivsteget ger en försumbar fördröjning av de pulsbreddsmodulerade signalerna som reglerar motorn och dÀrmed uppnÄs en fungerande dum aktuator som uppfyller Scanias krav för kommutering av BLDC-motorn.Dumma aktuatorer Àr pÄ mÄnga sÀtt ett bÀttre alternativ Àn dagens intelligenta aktuatorer. Fördelar och nackdelar med tre olika system inom omrÄdena uptime, produktionsvolymer, prisnivÄ och kostnader, reglerprestanda, IO-krav och eektkrav jÀmförs och diskuteras och pÄ de ?flesta punkter pekar resultaten pÄ att ett teknikbyte till dumma aktuatorer skulle ge vinster pÄ era plan..

There are problems with poor quality, poor scheduling and poor working climate in the Swedish construction industry. Many parts have been involved, trying to solve the problem.This spring a new planning and building-law becomes final. In this law, the requirements set on the controls are greater. Hopefully this will lead to fewer construction errors. The requirements set on the working environment have also increased, forcing consultants and contractors to focus on safe workplaces.For each project requiring a building permit, an inspection plan has to been drawn.

In my study, I have chosen to examine how the user interface and content must conform to design guidelines for responsive design makes it suitable for diverse desktop environment and for varied mobile platforms. The purpose of this study is to examine the extent recommended design guidelines based on scientific research has a positive impact on user performance and perception when using this study delivered hi-fi prototype. The goal of this study is to provide a Hi-Fi prototype with high usability that will introduce and inform the public about BrasilCine according specifications. Study findings from user testing and supplementary questionnaires show that the implemented technologies as design guidelines for responsive design and design features have a positive impact on user performance and perception. The study results are therefore relevant for further prototype development..

This study examines how a company adapts its operating control when the environmental circumstances are changing. This is a case study with a qualitative approach which is based on interviews. The main purpose is to examine how an accounting firm adjusts its operating control in order to meet the abolishment of the statutory auditing. Another purpose is to describe how the abolishment of the statutory auditing will influence or have influenced the choice of measures in the balanced scorecard. The question this study aims to examine is: How do audit firms adapt its operating control in order to meet changes in the environment? This question lead to a second question which the study also aims to examine and is How is the abolishment of the statutory auditing influencing the accounting firms goals, measures and focus in the balanced scorecard? The conclusion of this study shows that the abolishment of the statutory auditing has had an influence on the balanced scorecard.

V?stv?rlden s?rskiljer m?nniskan fr?n naturen och betraktar den f?rra som ?verl?gsen den senare. Enligt antropocentrismens kritiker ?r m?nniskans uppfattning om ?verl?gsenhet en av orsakerna till klimatf?r?ndringarna. F?r att kunna bek?mpa klimatf?r?ndringarna beh?ver m?nniskan ?verg? fr?n ett antropocentriskt till ett ekologiskt perspektiv p? kunskap och verkligheten; d.v.s.

MÀnniskans tankesÀtt och beslutsfattande Àr en alldeles unik egenskap, som hon har. Unik Àr den pÄ grund av att alla har olika uppfattningar, erfarenheter och vÀrderingar. Den hÀr studien handlar om hur man kan pÄverka mÀnniskans beslutsfattande genom ett grÀnssnitt, och vad det Àr som pÄverkar beslutet. DÄ det finns mÄnga faktorer som har en pÄverkan pÄ beslutsfattande, specialiserades studien pÄ anvÀndaren och dess kognitiva egenskaper, sÄ som uppmÀrksamhet och perception, samt en fördjupning pÄ beslutsfattande och grÀnssnittsdesign. Detta för att kunna svara pÄ vilken pÄverkan ett grÀnssnitt har pÄ en mÀnniska som interagerar med det.Under studiens gÄng gjordes enkÀtundersökning, personas, prototyper, anvÀndartester, samt observationer, för att kunna analysera och fÄ in tillrÀcklig data.

Ungdomsarbetslösheten har ökat pÄ mÄnga hÄll i Europa som en konsekvens av lÄgkonjunkturen och i januari 2010 lÄg den i Sverige pÄ 29,1 procent. I Schweiz har ungdomsarbetslösheten, generellt sett, varit jÀmförelsevis lÄg och Är 2009 lÄg siffran pÄ 8,2 procent. Examensarbetets syfte var att undersöka vilken psykologisk inverkan arbetslöshet har pÄ arbetslösa ungdomar. En enkÀtundersökning genomfördes med 74 arbetslösa ungdomar i Äldrarna 15 till 24 Är i Sverige och Schweiz. EnkÀten baserades pÄ locus of control, self-efficacy och lycka/psykologiskt vÀlbefinnande och ungdomarnas syn pÄ framtiden och pÄ livet som helhet utvÀrderades ocksÄ.

Two of SwedensÂŽs major banks, SEB and Handelsbanken, which appears in the same industry and have similar strategy. Both banks can achieve a similar result despite the fact that their reward system looks quite different. An issue that arises from this observation is the relative reward system to the rest of the economy control system.Our purpose of this paper is therefore to examine the reward system in the organization's financial management systems. We wonder if the reward system may be a function of economic control system, or part of the system, or perhaps made independent of the system and then gradually adapted?In our study, we choose to assume a reward system has three functions to manage, motivate and compose the employee group.

The Swedish system of rent control has recieved a lot of critique for creating an ill-functioning housing market. Supporters however claim that a movement towards market rents would lead to increased segregation. We evaluate whether rent control has managed to counteract segregation in Stockholm. Our evaluation is based on a data set of 292 representative households in Stockholm. We find that residents in rent controlled apartments in attractive locations typically are born in Sweden by Swedish parents and that they are likely to have a higher income than residents in rent controlled apartments in less attractive locations.

Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an umbrella term for ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. These are characterized by a chronic inflammation of the intestinal mucosa. Living with chronic illness meant that life changed significantly. Quality of life was affected for these individuals and was stressful in their lives. Aim: The aim was to describe the experiences of living with inflammatory bowel disease. Method: A qualitative literature review was chosen to analyze articles that were related to the aim of this study. Results: Based on the chosen articles five themes were created; Commuting between hope and fear, symptoms of the disease and medication become everyday focus, struggling with  the new identity, desire to control the disease- do I control my illness or does it control me and social relationships are affected. Conclusion: Inflammatory bowel disease is a distressing disease and can cause limitations in social life due to lack of knowledge by others about the disease. The affected felt a loss of control in their life due to the difficulty in managing the symptoms.

Studien undersöker fem manliga gymnasieelevers upplevelse av stress och coping genom intervjuer. Respondenterna upplever att flera delar av skolan Àr stressande men mest sÄ pÄ examinationer. Respondenterna avÀnder olika former av coping och de som klarar skolan bÀst anvÀnder en intern locus of control och problemfokuserad coping. Studenterna som misslyckas i skolan trivs inte dÀr och anvÀnder extern locus of control och undvikande coping med betoning pÄ socialt stöd..

To have a tool that guides you when you work with a complex system can be helpful since the complexity of the work can be reduced. In this thesis I explore the possibilities to use a helper application whilst planning installations of access control systems. The purpose of the application is to provide support during the planning and at the same time make the user aware of the limitations that exist in the access control system ARX Access. By combining early user input and the theory of formativity, the result became an application written in Java..
