There is no correlation between internal control environment and possibility of internal auditors in detecting fraud. This research tries to find out if there is any correlation between the years of experience of internal auditors and the perception of possibility in detecting fraud and if there is any correlation between the perception of internal auditors in their role and the perception of poss

In what follows, two properties characterizing supplier selection methods, namely, transparency and independence of irrelevant alternatives, will be properly discerned. Consecutively, three hypotheses, concerning the impact these properties have on the procurement outcome, will be suggested. Transparency is presumed to decrease the likelihood of having a locally established winner as well as to in

The main purpose of this paper is to find if there are any differences between the two Scandinavian countries Sweden and Denmark in help institutions for women in prostitution. Buying sexual services has been illegal in Sweden since 1999. There are no similar regulations in Denmark. By employing a comparative study method, information from the two countries have been broken down through content a

Syfte: Beskriva livet på musikfestivaler och förklara vilken funktion de fyller idag. Frågeställningar: Vilka skäl, förutom musiken, har svenska ungdomar till att delta i en festival? Hur upplever besökarna att deras beteende förändras när de befinner sig på festivalen? Hur kan vi förstå festivalen ur ett större, mänskligt perspektiv? Metod: Jag deltog sommaren 2011 i Peace and Love-festivalen i

Magnetkameran är en icke-invasiv metod som används för att avbilda mjukvävnad i kroppen med hög spatial upplösning. Myelinskidan som omger axonerna i det centrala nervsystemet ger upphov till kontrasten mellan vit och grå substans i konventionella magnetkamerabilder. Det är av intresse att detektera nedbrytningen av myelinskidan eftersom förekomst av sådan kan ge en indikation på tidigare stadier Introduction: The axonal myelin sheath is the main cause of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast between gray matter (GM) and white matter (WM) in the brain. It encloses a small pool of myelin water (MW) with a short T2 of about 15 ms. Common signal equations of MRI sequence assume an instantaneous RF excitation pulse followed by free relaxation. As known from ultra-short echo time (UTE) MRI,

Inom strålbehandling innebär den s.k. åskådareffekten ("bystander effect") ett relativt nytt tankesätt som betonar de biologiska effekterna av strålning på icke-bestrålade celler i närheten av bestrålade celler. Denna effekt har visat sig påverka inte bara de celler som angränsar till det bestrålade området utan även celler på större avstånd. I Lund pågår just nu ett projekt där man villPurpose Intensity modulation of radiation is one of several important conditions to evaluate for full understanding of how cells involved in the bystander effect influence each other when cells are exposed to radiation at low and high dose rates. The aim of this study was to develop and apply a useful and practical dosimetric method for measurement of the absorbed dose to cell cultures exposed to

Om ett kärnvapen detoneras i atmosfären eller en allvarlig kärnkräftsolycka, likt Tjernobyl, inträffar kommer radioaktivt nedfall att ske. Nedfallet innehåller radioaktiva ämnen som kommer att spridas ut över ett stort område med vind eller nederbörd. Vid denna situation är det viktigt att kunna identifiera vilka radioaktiva ämnen som finns på marken samt vilken radioaktivitet dessa har för att kuIn the event of a nuclear weapon detonation or a power plant accident radionuclides will deposit on the ground. It is then important to identify and quantify the radionuclides to obtain information necessary for radiation protection efforts like relocation and decontamination. Radiation protection instruments with beta probes can be used as search instruments but the small surface of the probe an

I Sverige finns det en rad olika arbetsmarknadspolitiska åtgärder vilka lyder under programmet för det som benämns som Jobb- och utvecklingsgarantin. Målet är att motverka framförallt långtidsarbetslöshet, vilket är definitionen för arbetslöshet som sträcker sig över 450 dagar. Man faller då inom ramen för den sista fasen inom programmet för Jobb- och utvecklingsgarantin, den så kallade ”sysselsät

Mina tidigare erfarenheter av att arbeta som lärare på ett statligt ungdomshem gav upphov till ett intresse att sociologiskt studera skolverksamhet i ungdomsvård. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka de sociala villkor för intagna ungdomar som organiseringen av undervisningen på ungdomshem innebär, samt att undersöka hur ungdomar förhåller sig till dessa villkor genom sitt agerande. Jag utgår

The aim of the current study is to broaden our understanding of conflicts and their relationship with autonomy in several different directions. In particular, this study strives to: confirm previous findings outside the domain of romantic relationships, address the notion of autonomy as growth motivation, and tie current findings to five core concerns—technique aimed at maintaining good relationsh

Hållbar tillsyn av Malmös skollokaler Miljöförvaltningen riktar sin tillsyn av Malmös grundskolor mot att minska orättvisa hälsoskillnader. Att prioritera utifrån socioekonomiska faktorer och att samverka med andra aktörer är två sätt som kan få klyftan att minska. Vägen dit är beroende av kommunikation. Det finns stora skillnader i Malmöbornas hälsa som beror på faktorer som utbildningsnivå, boThe aim of this study was to explore how the Environmental Health Department in Malmö Sweden can apply local recommendations to reduce systematic health inequities in their regulation and monitoring of the indoor environments at elementary and junior high schools, aiming ultimately at a more socially just society. The study was comprised of qualitative interviews exploring synergy possibilities be

In Sweden there are many people who take the food on our tables for granted, there is rarely anyone who reflects on the fact that it was hard work behind. The situation has not always been like that. During the late 1800s there were still many people living in rural areas and their livelihood was farming. Their jobs and mundane chore was to produce, if not the whole, but parts of the food that wou

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how the autonomy in an acquired subsidiary affects the integration process within an M&A process. The study uses a qualitative and deductive method by conducting a case study in a major Swedish technological company. We have made five different hypotheses based on three prominent articles within the M&A research area that deal with the subject o

The product H2 is a new heat exchanger produced, manufactured and sold by Heatex. It has an excellent surface efficiency, in large parts because of its slim features. The slim features does however have a drawback. It isn’t as mechanically stable and robust as its earlier cousins. The product tends to deform plastically in lifting conditions, especially the heavier versions needs extra support or,

Under flera års tid har återkommande förhöjda halter mikroorganismer förekommit i havremjöl på en av Lantmännen Cerealias verksamheter i Järna. Detta har lett till ett begränsat användningsområde och ökade kostnader. Syftet med utredningen var att upparbeta en åtgärdsplan för att förbättra hygienstatusen och minska de kostnader som de förhöjda halterna inneburit. Historisk data har granskats, en

Alten AB has a technology demonstator in the form of a motorized and camera equipped large scale labyrinth game. The ball position is controlled by a ABB industrial PLC connected with Android tablets for user interface and a camera as a sensor for the ball position. This thesis demonstrates the ability to place a wide angle camera inside the cabinet, correcting the lens distortion caused by the wi

The real estate market and stock market, as two major investment channels in China, had experienced dramatically skyrocketing and fluctuations. Especially, after 2008 financial crisis, the price index of these two asset markets tended to be alternately soaring and declining. It seems there is a new principle or new relationship generating between the real estate and stock markets. This study emplo

The purpose of this report is to evaluate a direct driven permanent magnet motor in high accuracy position and low speed operation. Actuation in this case is usually accomplished by stepping motors combined with belts and pulleys. High accuracy positioning is considered to be within 0.1 degrees and low speed 0.05 degrees per second, while at the same time have a 180 degree step response within 0.5
