Längden på revisionsuppdraget och revisionskvaliteten : Finns det något samband?
This study examines whether there is an association between the length of the client-auditor relationship and audit quality, using absolute unexpected accruals estimated by industry as a measure of audit quality based on a modified Jones model. The study is motivated by the proposal on mandatory audit firm rotation for publicly traded companies from the European Commission, which is based on the notion that longer auditor firm tenure creates a familiarity threat which reduces the audit quality. Both the relation between audit quality and auditor partner tenure and audit firm tenure is examined in this study, using multivariate regression controlling for auditor type (Big 4 versus non-Big 4), signing auditors (one versus two auditors), firm size, profitability, leverage and age. There is a significant negative relationship between audit quality and audit partner tenure when only companies employing Big 4 is tested, which indicate that auditors constrain managements extreme accounting measures with longer tenure. The results provide no significant evidence of an increase in the absolute unexpected accruals with audit firm tenure, when only Big 4 companies are tested.

Intensivvårdssjuksköterskans dokumentation av postoperativt illamående och kräkning
Introdukation: Postoperativt illamående och kräkning, PONV (Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting) är en av de vanligaste förekommande biverkningarna postoperativt vilket drabbar cirka en tredjedel av alla opererade patienter. Det är inte bara obehagligt för patienten utan kan även orsaka medicinska komplikationer. Tidigare forskning har konstaterat att illamående och kräkningar är undermåligt dokumenterade i journalerna. Dokumentation medvetandegör problem, utvärderar effekt av insatt åtgärd, utvecklar patientvården samt är betydelsefull i forskningssyfte.Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka dokumentation av PONV i patientjournalen samt samstämmigheten mellan intensivvårdssjuksköterskans dokumentation och patientens erfarenhet av PONV.Metod: Mixed methods med deskriptiv kvantitativ design användes i denna tvärsnittstudie. Data inhämtades från patientjournalen och jämfördes med självrapporterad data från patienter.Resultat: Resultatet visade att dokumentation om PONV, oavsett om deltagarna erfor PONV eller inte, saknades i 55 % av alla patientjournaler.
Sjuksköterskans upplevelse av samverkan i team
Studien beskriver nyutexaminerade sjuksköterskors upplevelse av samverkan i team med läkare och undersköterskor. En kvalitativ semistrukturerad intervjustudie har gjorts med sju sjuksköterskor som arbetar på fyra olika sjukhus runtom i Skåne. Författarna till föreliggande studie är själva sjuksköterskestudenter som inom en snar framtid ska ut i arbetslivet och därmed skapat flera undringar kring hur den nyutexaminerade sjuksköterskan upplever utmaningar som denne ställs inför då hon/han börjar arbeta. En av de sex kärnkompetenserna för omvårdnad, samverkan i team, valdes som intresseområde av författarna och syftet formulerades till att undersöka nyutexaminerade sjuksköterskors upplevelse av samverkan med läkare och undersköterskor på arbetsplatsen. Fyra kvinnor och tre män deltog i studien, varav tre arbetar på medicin avdelningar och fyra på kirurgiska avdelningar.
Finansiell risk och lönsamhet i Svenska fastighetsbolag under 2008
Syfte: Studiens syfte är att analysera och undersöka om det finns något samband mellan den finansiella risken och lönsamheten. Det övergripande syftet är att se om valet av finansiell risk fungerar som finansieringsstrategi i verkligheten.Metod: Studien bygger på den deduktiva ansatsen där teorier kommer att testas och analyseras mot empiriska data tagna från årsredovisningar. Den kvantitativa metoden används då data från 305 stycken årsredovisningar ska användas för att finna om det finns samband och variation mellan finansiell risk och lönsamhet definierad som vinstmarginal, Rt och Re. Årsredovisningarna utgörs av sekundärdata som samlats in från databasen Retriever. De statistiska metoder som används är bland annat medelvärde, standardavvikelse, regressions- och korrelationsanalys, hypotesprövning och t-test.Resultat och slutsats: Såväl korrelation- och regressionsanalys som hypotesprövning och t-test visar att det finns samband mellan finansiell risk och lönsamhet definierad som Re.
