The purpose of the essay is to analyze the welfare state from a gender perspective. Further, the paper analyzes and critically examines three different normative solutions provided by Irish Marion Young, Nancy Fraser and Jürgen Habermas for the realization of a welfare state that includes women.Habermas argues that the welfare state has created a situation of dependency and state paternalism which reduces both individual and collective self-determination. Young follows Habermas? argument. She argues for a political climate where justice is reduced to the distribution of material goods rather than the elimination of underlying relations of domination and gender specific patterns.

Inledning och problemdiskussion: Den senaste tiden har svenska bolaget Eniro varit inblandad i en redovisningsskandal där den tidigare vd:n Johan Lindberg polisanmälts för att ha manipulerat bolagets intäkter. Eniro står nu inför en svår period där långivarna överväger att sätta bolaget i konkurs och möjlighet till nyemission verkar inte trolig.För ett gynnsamt näringsliv är det viktigt att intressenter känner förtroende för noterade bolag på aktiemarknaden. Att bolagen redovisar korrekt information är avgörande för att investerare ska känna förtroende för bolaget, vilket ifrågasätts vid redovisningsskandaler likt den Eniro nu står med.Syfte: Att analysera Eniros finansiella ställning och dess utveckling år 2007 till 2014, för att se på samband mellan förändringar i finansiella ställningen och bolagets börsvärde.Avgränsningar: Studien kommer att baseras på årsredovisningar från år 2007 till 2013 samt tredje kvartalsrapporten år 2014. Denna period är vald då den ger en bild av bolaget innan och under finanskrisen, samt de år som den felaktiga redovisningen skedde och efter att den upptäckts.Metod: Uppsatsen är en fallstudie av Eniro och består av både sekundär kvalitativ och kvantitativ data. Kvalitativa data är nyhetsartiklar om bolaget och verksamhetsberättelser som finns i Eniros årsredovisningar.

Bakgrund och problem: Ett bolags intäktsredovisning är centralt för ett företags välmående. Olika problem uppstår för olika branscher och flera redovisningsskandaler har uppdagats under de senate åren, men genomgående har ?revenue recognition?, alltså att bestämma när och hur intäkter ska tas upp i sin helhet, varit en av de största utmaningarna inom intäktsredovisning. Hur har intäktsredovisningen utvecklats genom åren?Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är att ta en närmare titt på intäktsredovisning inom svenska företag och hos aktiva revisorer för att få djupare förståelse av problematiken som fortfarande finns kvar efter år av förändringar, då speciellt frågan om när en intäkt ska tas upp.

Background: Investors have several options to choose from when the goal is to achieve the highest yield at the lowest cost and risk. Stocks are a common investment options, but is also associated with risks. Portfolios are usually constructed with several different assets to reduce the unsystematic risk of investment. Funds are similar to composite stock portfolios, the big difference is that they dealt with in their entirety and investors may not affect the fund's content. The problem remains that whether you choose stocks or mutual funds there is still uncertainty as to how the future will unfold.

The thesis work focuses on marketing and its point of departure centers on mapping the utilization of social media as a form of marketing. The choice of this thesis subject has been deemed by the authors as one of particular interest due to the current popularity of social media in the Internet connected society and their use as marketing tools. Specifically, this thesis sets out to explore how companies exploit social media tools in marketing and how their use affects retail operations and customer relations in an effective and creative way.The report concentrates on qualitative data collection, the interview answers of four respondents, of which, two are considered experts within the field of social media. The choice of suitable respondents was strategic with the goal of covering as large a portion of the social media field as possible; one social media educator that works with companies and one who assists companies with social media applications. The remaining two respondents work in marketing and communications and employ, as part of their job, social media tools such as Facebook and Twitter.

This essay has been made on behalf of the co-operative society Mäster Grön, which is selling ornamental plants to retailers in Sweden. The aim of this study has been to find out what added value Mäster Grön gets from their co-branding with the Swedish Seal of quality. The main topic of discussion was; how much value added does this co-branding give to Mäster Gröns pot plants? Are there differences from a customer point of view in value added between a garden center and a retail store? How much weight does the costumer put on the branding when buying a plant? Does the customer know what the values of Mäster Grön and Swedish Seal of quality mean? Two questions of lesser worth were asked to the consumers about what they thought about the protective plastic around the plant, and if they were interested in getting more information about the origin as well as the method of production of the plant. The study was divided into two parts, one in which customers were observed and one where the customers answered a survey.

The quest to determine if non-human animals have emotional lives similar to man goes a long way back and is yet to result in a clear answer. The aim of this particular literature study is to determine whether or not the African elephant may host feelings of empathy and display altruistic behaviour. In search for an answer to this question, scientists have chosen to first evaluate the cognitive abilities of said species. They have done this through the testing of tool use, mirror self-recognition, memory and the ability to coordinate with another when performing a task etc. It is generally thought, that in order for complex emotion to exist within an individual, cognition, as an awareness of the self and others, must first be present.

Bakgrund och problem: Intäkter är för de flesta företag den största posten i resultaträkningen och redovisas inte de på ett korrekt sätt kan det medföra stora problem för ett företag samtidigt som det ger intressenter en felaktig bild av företaget. Under de senaste åren har flertalet redovisningsskandaler uppdagats och i de flesta fall grundar de sig i en felaktig intäktsredovisning. IASB och FASB har inlett ett konvergensprojekt för att utveckla begreppet ?revenue recognition?, det vill säga när en intäkt ska redovisas. Bakgrunden till projektet är bland annat att definitionen och kriteriet för när en intäkt ska tas upp inte stämmer överens mellan föreställningsramen och IAS 18 ? Intäkter.

Abstract The planning of landscapes and towns has changed from a top-to-bottom perspective, including a focus on common interests, towards an inclusion of dialogue between planners and inhabitants of the planning area. In the countryside areas there are many interests which could be incorporated in such a dialogue. Still, the landowners have the final right to make the decisions for his or her property. The purpose of this paper is to examine how a dialogue for countryside development works and could be working, what participators of such dialogues are thinking about their right to direct and transform the landscape, and which roles the planners may take in such a context. With this background in mind, I also look back into the history with the intention to understand the situation of today.
