"Men stackars lilla förtryckta muslimska tjej" : Kvinnliga universitetsstudenter berättar om vardagsrasism
Både svensk och internationell forskning har visat att diskriminerande strukturer är en del många universitetsstudenters vardag. Syftet med denna studie var att belysa hur kvinnliga studenter med utländskt ursprung berättar om vardagsrasism och förhållningsstrategier i relation till vardagsrasism. Efter sex öppna intervjuer och en e-post intervju analyserades kvinnornas berättelser narrativt och utifrån ett intersektionellt perspektiv. Kvinnornas berättelser konstruerade en varierande vardagsrasism, vilken baserades på ett samspel mellan kön och etnisk tillhörighet samt resulterade i förhållningsstrategier som humor, förminskande och distansering. Kvinnornas berättelser belyste vidare vardagsrasism som ett existerande problem, vilket inverkade på deras förhållningssätt gentemot skilda delar av universitetsvärlden..
Revisorns oberoende i förhandlingen med klienten : Vilken betydelse har relationen?

There are different opinions about whether a close relationship harms or promote the auditors work. Furthermore there are studies that show what strategies the auditor (and client) tends to use in the negotiation between the two of them. On this basis we have chosen to study if there are any correlation between the nature of the auditor client relationship, the auditor?s negotiation strategy against the client and the auditor?s objectivity.Method: Because of our purpose to study if there is any correlation between the relationship, the negotiation strategies and the auditor´s objectivity we have chosen to implement a quantitative survey.

Systematisk riskexponering i svenska hedgefonder: Svenska hedgefonders exponering mot riskfaktorerna i Fung & Hsieh (2004) under perioden 2006-2007
This paper aims to investigate the systematic risk exposure of Swedish hedge funds using a modified Fung & Hsieh (2004) asset-based style factor model. The results show that the average Swedish equity hedge fund and fund of funds had a significant positive exposure to the equity market portfolio and the spread between small cap and large cap stocks (SMB) during the sample period. This is consistent with our a priori expectations and previous international studies. We do not find the expected systematic fixed-income related risk exposure for the fixed-income hedge funds and fund of funds in the sample. The empirical material used in this study is taken from a publicly available fund database maintained by the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority (Finansinspektionen).

A foreign aid dilemma : a study of budget support versus project aid
Foreign aid is a very debated and controversial topic. The most recent studies have focused more on GDP growth and foreign aid correlation, however not much of the debate has focused on what kind of foreign aid should be given. The most common foreign aid is budget support, often a bilateral funds transfer between two countries. This kind of foreign aid can be both conditional and unconditional from the donors? perspective.
Kontroll av intern kontroll - en jämförelse av små och stora kommuner
Enligt lag skall kommunala nämnder själva bedriva intern kontroll någon exakt definition av vad intern kontroll ges inte i lagen.I uppsatsen tar vi fasta på att det enligt en internationell modell som heter COSO behövs en fastställd plan för att man ska kunna utföra och följa upp kontrollen. Därför har vi studerat huruvida små och stora kommuner har en antagen intern kontrollplan.Metoden vi använt är datainsamling via e-post och i vissa delar ett efterföljande frågeformulär.Resultatet av undersökningen är att de kommuner som har en intern kontrollplan i stort kontrollerar samma saker oavsett om kommunerna är stora eller små. Det har också visat sig att andelen stora kommuner som har antagit en intern kontrollplan är betydligt högre jämfört med små kommuner. I slutsatsen har vi presenterat några delförklaringar till varför stora kommuner i större utsträckning har en internkontrollplan..

Hur påverkas högstadielevers studier av klass och kön? : Skolprestation, studieval och attityder till skolan i en kommun belägen i Norrlands inland
How do gender and socioeconomic backgrounds affect students? academic performance, educational choices and attitudes towards education? Moreover, does class play the same role for girls and boys? In order to find this out, I surveyed students in a small province located in the northern inlands of Sweden. The survey was answered by nearly every student in the ninth grade of that year, a total of 160 people. The results revealed that girls in this area have less faith in their capabilities than boys, despite getting much better grades. Many more girls than boys want to go onto college or university studies.
