The purpose of this study is to investigate the Swedish Public Relations and Communication profession from the Stockholm Accords point of view. The Stockholm Accords are an attempt to reflect Public Relations and Communication Management practice as it stands today and to provide a global common ground for the practitioners.The method used for this study is a quantitative research method conducted by a web survey answered by more than 400 Swedish communication managers. The questions posed were examining these managers view of their profession compared to the Stockholm Accords.The research shows that the Swedish way of implementing communication in the organization broadly corresponds to the Stockholm Accords when it comes to internal and external communication. However, there are some areas where Swedish communication practice diverges from Stockholm Accords. The issues which link governance, management and sustainability to communication have a much wider distribution of responses.

Background and Problem: The lack of auditor independence is discussed being oneof the reasons to scandals such as Enron and HQ. A pricing strategy that has beendebated impairing auditor independence is low balling. To win a new client in atender process, audit firms supposedly offer an audit fee below cost and then increasethe fee the following years to recover the initial loss. The auditors? future financialinterest in the company due to the initial loss is by some believed to impair auditorindependence, which makes low balling in Sweden a relevant phenomenon to study.Aim of study: This thesis aims to explain if low balling exists on the Swedish auditmarket and if the size of companies affects the results of low balling.Methodology: To achieve the purpose of this thesis, a statistical study wasconducted.

This thesis is a report of the practical aspects and the problems of classification and documentation of a collection of memorabilias from the Crown Princess Couple's Wedding in Stockholm 2010. The collection contains 38 objects collected by Nordiska museet [The Nordic Museum], Sweden's largest museum of cultural history. Nordiska museet has a total collection of over 1,5 million items collected since 1873. My ambition in this thesis has been to describe my work with the classification and documentation of these new objects and their context. One of the main problems was how to combine the modern objects with the old existing collection within the two classification systems used at the museum.

Every plan and program decided on by an authority or municipality, where the environmental impact can be considerable, must be environmentally assessed according to Environmental Code, the Planning and Building Act (PBA) and the Regulation on Environmental Impact Assessment.The purpose of this study is to examine the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for The Region Development Plan for the Stockholm Region, RUFS 2010. The plan was approved by at that time the Regional Planning Office (Regionplanekontoret), which procured the process by consultants. RUFS 2010 includes two merged plans ie. a regional Development Plan (RUP) and the Regional Spatial Plan for Stockholm. It was necessary to establish an environmental assessment of RUP, but not for the regional plan.

Bakgrund- och problembeskrivning: Sedan introduceringen av IFRS som normgivning för svenska börsbolags koncernredovisning ska inte goodwill, den restpost som kan uppkomma vid företagsförvärv, längre skrivas av. Istället ska goodwill årligen nedskrivningsprövas, något som baseras på av bolagsledningen valda antaganden. Under finanskrisen 2008-2009 genomfördes mindre nedskrivningar än vad många förväntat sig. Möjligtvis kan dessa nedskrivningar inträffat under åren 2010-2011 som en konsekvens av de incitament som finns i och med att nedskriven goodwill aldrig får återföras.Syfte: Att studera huruvida finanskrisen 2008-2009 har fått fördröjda effekter i de svenska börsbolagens räkenskaper i form av nedskrivningar av goodwill under perioden 2010-2011.Avgränsningar: Studien avgränsas till de 141 bolag noterade på NASDAQ OMX Stockholm som har goodwill under år 2010 till 2011 och har kalenderår som räkenskapsår. Studien behandlar inte direkt företagsförvärv och allokering av köpeskillingar utan fokuserar på årliga nedskrivningsprövningar.Metod: Studien har genomförts genom att insamla data från bokslut och noter i årsredovisningar för år 2010 och 2011 från bolagen i urvalet.

Last spring I did a study where I studied how young girls where being depicted in Swedish novels of 2010. My ambition with this exam is to study how young teenage boys are being depicted in Swedish novels of 2010 and to compare this study and the results with the results from my study last spring. Throughout history we can see that boy?s novels have had the purpose to bring up boys into being adventurous. In the novels of 2010 we can see that boys now are being depicted in another more modern and contemporary way.From my analysis we can see that all the books have many things in common.

Background: The meeting industry has had undergone a extensive changes due to a number of factors. The globalization has meant that supply increases and congress organizers have more options to choose from. Development in communications, for instance internet, means that meetings can take place without a physical presence. Congress organizers as clients have also changes. Stockholm as position as a leading city to hold congresses in has also changed for the worse, in 2006 Stockholm dropped of the top-10 list.

Studiens syfte är att se huruvida OMX Stockholm 30 är svagt effektiv. Studien bygger på de kurser Stockholmsbörsen publi-cerar för OMX Stockholm 30. Vi har valt en strikt de-duktiv ansats. Utgångspunkten är Famas teorier om den effektiva marknaden, där vi valt att inrikta oss på den svaga formen av effektivitet. Vi genomför ett antal tester för att se ifall vi kan urskilja ett mönster i index-kurserna eller om priserna följer en ?random walk?..

Bakgrund och problem: Enligt redovisningsstandarden IAS 36 skall en nedskrivning avgoodwill spegla företagens ekonomiska verklighet. Den ekonomiska verkligheten speglasbättre genom årliga nedskrivningsprövningar än genom en avskrivning. Vilken var metodensom tillämpades tidigare. Detta har gett företagsledningar möjlighet att basera värderingenefter egna bedömningar. Tidigare forskning har visat på att nedskrivning av goodwill har ensläpande effekt på kassaflödet och inte speglar den ekonomiska verkligheten som är ett avsyftena med IAS 36 är.Syfte: Studiens syfte är att undersöka om nedskrivning av goodwill enligt IAS 36 reflekteras iframtida kassaflöde ett och två år fram bland svenska företag noterade på NASDAQ OMXStockholm AB mellan åren 2005-2010.Avgränsningar: I studien ingår de företag som skrivit ned goodwill någon gång mellan åren2005-2010 och är noterade på NASDAQ OMX Stockholm AB.Metod: För att undersöka detta valde vi att genomföra en kvantitativ studie där vi undersökteett urval av företag noterade på NASDAQ OMX Stockholm mellan åren 2005-2010.

Voluntary organisations provided the first consumer guidance in Sweden. The government'sinterest in the question started during the second world war and has ever since increased.Since the 1970's the local authorities, with support from the community, have played animportant roll in consumer policy work. Due to the economic recession of recent years theappropriation to consumer guidance work has been cut down. The work has been rationalisedand libraries have more frequently been used to spread consumer information.In Stockholm the municipal has been responsible for local consumer information since the1940's. Co-operation with the library of Stockholm has occurred in different forms.
