To increase the quality and the cost-efficiency of contract archaeology in Sweden a revisedregulation for contract archaeology was established the 1st of January 2008. By including findstrategy as a concept with special demands in the regulation the Swedish Heritage Board is nowhoping that the conservators will be integrated earlier in the archaeological process and that theunpremeditated find accumulations will stop. This is making the competition between thearchaeological companies even harder. The questions are how the regulation have affected therole of the conservators in the field of contract archaeology today, what is affecting theintegration and the situation, and what can the different stakeholders do to make the collaborationbetween archaeologists and conservators more professional? The conservators are now hopingthat this is the change that will increase the collaboration with the archaeologists, which isimportant for the finds prosperity and the drive of information.To get an updated and generalised view of the impact of the regulation so far, phoneconversations and questionnaires were carried out with archaeologists, conservators, employees atcounty administrative boards and the Swedish Heritage Board.

Syftet med denna studie är att bidra med en ökad förståelse och kunskap gällande de kriterier som skapar relevanta prestationsmått och som används i vinstdrivande företag. Vidare är syftet att undersöka om tidigare forskares föreslagna kriterier för prestationsmått uppfylls och om dessa kriterier är tillräckligt relevanta. Efter genomförda intervjuer och analyser framkom att det finns stora brister främst gällande uppfyllandet av kriterierna för de icke-finansiella prestationsmåtten och ett förslag framförs gällande att företagen borde sträva efter branschöverskridande och standardiserade mått med klara regler för hur dessa skall redovisas. Vidare föreslås en ny modell gällande kriterier för prestationsmått samt vidare forskning i ämnet efterlyses..

Background and problem: Corporate Governance is a well-known phenomenon which has been the focus of plenty of research where the board of directors and the CEO have been regarded as important actors. What's affecting decisions regarding these actors has been debated whereas media has been pointed out of having an impact. To decide whether or not media can affect Corporate Governance have shown to be problematic whereas it exists divergent views regarding this. At the same time this relationship is more explored in other contexts than the swedish one, although this one is considered suitable for this. Consequently there is a motive for examining medias impact on Corporate Governance in Sweden. Purpose: The purpose of the thesis is to explain if media has an impact on Corporate Governance at an overall level.

Vi valde att utforma skisser på en applikation som har till uppgift att förenkla informationsutbytet mellan vårdnadshavare och personal vid inskolning i förskolan. Med denna produkt vill vi även öka medvetenheten om tekniska verktyg som hjälpmedel i förskolans verksamhet. Vi har undersökt om det finns något behov av en applikation i denna bemärkelse genom att utföra intervjuer.Vi har i detta arbete utgått från ett sociokulturellt perspektiv där vår produkt kan ses som ett medierade redskap i kommunikationen mellan människor.Utvärderingen på applikationsskisserna påvisade ett stort och genuint intresse och den feedback som vi mottog fungerade som inspiration till hur vi senare kan vidareutveckla applikationen med nya förbättrade funktioner för att göra produkten så eftertraktad som möjligt..

Målet med examensarbetet är att implementera en mjuk CPU i en FPGA-krets som finns tillgänglig på ett ALTERA DE2 Board. Denna mjuka processor integreras i ett projekt skapat i utvecklingsmiljön Quartus II. Den kommunicera med programmerad logik i FPGA:n och den signalbehandlar en audiosignal (stereo), så att ett eko kan genereras och att volym och balans blir justerbar. Detta styrs av ett tangentbord som kopplas till DE2-kortet och de olika förändringarna på utsignalen visas på en LCD..

Crisis management planning is a relatively new policy area in the European countries. It has materialized since the fall of the iron curtain and because of the increased interest to prevent wide-ranging national emergencies. In Sweden, the county administrative board has a key obligation to perform risk analysis guidelines. This assessment involves identifying crisis, planning response to the crisis and, if necessary, confronting and resolving the crisis in the geographic area of the region. The purpose of my thesis is to examine if there are any differences in crisis management planning between the county administrative boards? risk analysis guidelines.

Freshwater environments are threatened worldwide, of which many of the species associatedwith freshwater. In 2014, 243 freshwater mussels were on the international Red List. One ofthem is the freshwater pearl mussel, Margaritifera margaritifera, which because of itscomplex life cycle can be counted as an indicator of whether a stream is worth protecting. It's since the early 1900's in decline throughout their range. Sweden is counted as a core area which is why we have not only a national but an international responsibility to conserve the species.

The financial crisis in the beginning of the 1990´s the financial crisis had a strong impact on the Swedish economy. Some of the main actors in the crisis were the largest banks of Sweden which brought a huge amount of losses on themselves. One of the main reasons for this was that the banks focused on volume increases rather than on credit losses. The credit analysis process is performed differently these days and it is the development of this process that is the focus for the authors.This thesis is about the credit analysis process in the four largest banks of Sweden. The purpose of the thesis is to highlight which factors the banks include in the credit analysis process and in how small and medium size companies are treated in this process.

The demands which resulted from the interviews have been used to select types of hardware tokens for evaluation. Two products which offer authentication with smart cards and USB tokens have been selected and closer evaluated. These are RSA Passage which offers both hardware options and Rainbow iKey which uses USB tokens.

Several cities have implemented various projects to improve traffic safety in city centers.During 1970s and 1980s the city centers changed as the suburbs grew and large shopping centers were located outside the center. At the same time, several projects were initiated with construction of pedestrian streets and restriction of traffic in the center. In year 1994,shared-used areas were introduced in Sweden and these areas are often used in center environments.In Sweden, municipalities are responsible for integrating security in public places and in comprehensive plans and detailed development plans. The National Board of Housing,Building and Planning is the authority for administrating planning issues and develop general guidance about planning. Traffic is one of their key issues, although today there are no concrete guidelines from the National Board of Housing, Building and Planningfor the design of traffic safety in city centers.Traffic safety in city centers affects many people because the city center is a public place.It is therefore important that there are current guidelines available that are helpful for changes and improvements in traffic safety in the city center.The purpose of this report is to formulate guidelines for planning city centers from a traffic safety perspective.
