The purpose of this thesis is to examine the audit expectations gap in Sweden and the public confidence in the audit profession. We analysed if and how Svenska Dagbladet’s critical articles about the audit profession affected both the public confidence and the audit expectations gap. In order to answer our purpose, we have used qualitative research methods. Our conclusion is that no crisis of conf

Syfte: Uppsatsens syfte är att förklara vilka faktorer som påverkar graden av upplevd revisionsnytta samt undersöka vilken typ av revisionsnytta småbolag anser vara mest betydande för beslutet att anlita en revisor. Metod: Studien antar en deduktiv ansats. Utifrån vald teori och existerande forskning formuleras hypoteser kring samband mellan en rad påverkansvariabler och grad av upplevd revisionsn

Uppsatsen är av en kvalitativ karaktär där det tolkande förhållningssättet ligger till grund. Material har samlats in vid olika intervjuer med Nordea, Handelsbanken och SEB. Forskningsfrågan för uppsatsen är: Vilka utmaningar och dimensioner existerar för kunskapsföretag när de ska kvalitetssäkra sina kundrelationer? Syftet med uppsatsen är att kartlägga vilka dimensioner och utmaningar som existe

Thesis Purpose: The main purpose of this research is to critically examine journalists’ work situation at SR from an identity perspective. Methodology: This thesis research concerns a case study, conducted from an interpretative, qualitative perspective. Theoretical Perspective: Previous research concerning Identity, Identity struggle and Dis-Identification provide a theoretical basis. This resear

Syfte: Uppsatsen ämnar bidra till den internationella ”Corporate Governance”-litteraturen genom att analysera samband mellan den totala ersättningen till VD och ägarförhållandena i företagen mellan åren 2005-2009. Metod: Metoden som används är kvantitativ och har ett deduktivt förhållningssätt eftersom den baseras på tidigare forskningsresultat och teorier. Vidare analyseras relationerna mellan in

This paper models the dynamics of capital structure listed on the NYSE and NASDAQ during 1995 to 2010. The subsamples classified by given leverage level and specified periods of time are tested. The main contribution is that macroeconomic conditions and firm characteristics are incorporated regressed for non-linearity test. We provide the evidence of non-linear patterns among low leverage and high

I Sverige har det i över 100 år varit förbjudet att bygga hus i trä högre än två våningar. Lagen upphävdes 1994 då byggnormen ändrades och trähus återigen fick byggas högt då lagen ändrades från att begränsa materialval till att kräva de funktionskrav som skall uppfyllas. Dock byggs det inte så mycket höga trähus i Sverige trots den stora skogsproduktion som faktiskt producerar 120 stycken normals

This paper discusses how to configure, implement and perform an automatic benchmark to analyze the scalability of two common web servers. How it’s implemented and why specific objects are tested will be revealed in this report. The web server is benchmarked with static material, pictures and dynamic material with different configurations such as SSL 2048-bits and Gzip level 1,5,9. The result of th

Back in the days it was considered that it was your own problem if your property burned down. It continued to the 1950 when the department of housing came out guides to building code which are the foundation of the new Swedish building code. 1960 came the first collected building code that contained laws and rules about firesafety. In 1987 they accepted PBL and in 1994 it was drastically changed b

The thesis is done for the company Gambro which manufactures dialysis products worldwide. The idea of this thesis is to investigate weaknesses of the communication protocol which is used in one of the Gambro dialysis machines, Prismaflex and thereby investigate opportunities to improve the system by using other protocols. The thesis is divided into three major parts. They are the study of Prismafl

Projektplan. Ett byggprojekt kräver att man har tillstånd till att bygga. För att få det tillståndet ansöker man om bland annat bygglov och bygganmälan. Det krävs när man ska göra nybygge och tillbyggnad. Bygglovet behandlar idag bla områdes regler enligt detaljplan och miljöregler. Medans bygganmälan behandlar det tekniska aspekterna. Hur kommer dessa två handlingar att påverkas efter det att lag

Workability is a description of what ease an asphalt can be worked with during mixing, laying and compaction. The main impacting factors on the workability during the different stages are temperature and the binder properties, a studied report from Nation Center for Asphalt Technology states. This thesis aims to examine how the binder is affected by quality, temperature and additives. To investiga

Syftet med studien är att undersöka ifall något samband mellan fondprestationen och de organisatoriska fondegenskaperna existerar. Studien ska bidra till en ökad förståelse för hur olika fondegenskaper i fonder kan komma att påverka en fonds prestation. Mer exakt så syftar studien till att kunna förklara relationen mellan en fonds prestation och antalet fonder i fondfamiljen, antalet personer invo

Abstract Value at Risk (VaR) is a simple, transparent and consistent measure that summarizes all sources of downside risk. VaR has gained acceptance in the banking industry in accordance to Basel II rules which require banks to use VaR in calculations of market risk. VaR as a risk measure is not as widely accepted in the investment industry. This thesis embraces five different VaR models to 20 equ

The Monte Sporno flysch unit consists of regularly alternating calcareous turbidites and subordinate hemipelagic clays, deposited in a basin plain environment near, but above, the calcite compensation depth (CCD). Evidence for turbidity current emplacement includes sole markings, Bouma intervals and resedimented shallow-water microfossil species in a deep-water trace fossil assemblage (Nereites ic

The trace fossil assemblages exposed at the Armorano road section in the Monte Sporno unit, Northern Apennines, Italy, occur in a turbidite sequence composed of fine-grained limestones (mudstones) and argillaceous limestones (wackestones) together with coarser grained calcareous sandstones and claystones, both turbiditic and hemipelagic. Fodinichnial vertical burrows of post-depositional origin an

The Bajocian Fuglunda Member of Eriksdal consists mostly of sand, silt and coal arranged in cycles (2-4m). Each cycle generally starts with organic-rich heteroliths at the base and further up ripple-drift cross laminated and horizontally laminated fine sand follow. The coal seams at the top of the cycles are of minor thickness. Signs of soil formation occur as coalified rootlets reaching down from

The granite massif in the Tjärnesjö area, southwestern Sweden, was deformed and metamorphosed under granulite facies conditions in late Sveconorwegian time. The intrusive is dominated by a coarse-grained, megacrystic orthoclase granite. Pb-Pb evaporation datings on single zircons from the granite yield an age of ca. 1.36 Ga, interpreted as the intrusion age. A similar age was obtained on zircons f

This study deals with the development of a subglacial cavity in a province dominated by stoss- and leeside rockridges. In the area of Järnavik, south-central Blekinge, there is a small excavation on the leeside of a bedrock ridge. The lithofacies combinations in this section contains both diamictons and sorted sediments. The diamict units are both massive and stratified. The sorted sediments are m

Summary: This is an investigation of Early Holocene water level changes based on the sediments in two bays, Sörevik and Norrevik on Senoren, an island in the Karlskrona archipelago in eastern Blekinge southeastern Sweden. This area has experienced a number of transgressions and regressions since the last deglaciation at approximately 12,600 BP. The history of the Baltic is characterized by many dr
