While research on the design of heterogeneous concurrent systems has a long and rich history, a unified design methodology and tool support has not emerged so far, and thus the creation of such systems remains a difficult, time-consuming and error-prone process. The absence of principled support for system evaluation and optimization at high abstraction levels makes the quality of the resulting im

Resultatet av undersökningen visar att revisorernas fastställda väsentlighetsnivåer skiljer sig relativt mycket åt (den lägsta väsentlighetsnivån är 600 000 kr och den högsta är 1 250 000 kr) samt att det finns både skillnader och likheter i deras förda resonemang. Likheterna kan urskiljas i respondenternas arbetssätt och att de förhåller sig mycket till ISA. Orsaker till skillnaderna visar sig The result of the survey shows that the auditors determine materiality levels differently (the lowest materiality level is 600 000 kr and the highest one is 1 250 000 kr). There are both differences and similarities in the auditors´ argumentations. The similarities can be seen in auditors´ working process, during which they are regulated much by ISA. On the one hand, the differences can be expla

Till följd av principen om allas likhet inför lagen riskerar vårdpersonal allmänt åtal för misstag som föranlett att en allvarlig vårdskada har inträf-fat. Även om antalet rättsfall inte är många syftar denna uppsats till att under-söka det straffrättsliga ansvar som föreligger för enskild vårdpersonal för misstag som sker i yrkesutövningen. Särskilt undersöks de faktorer som kan vara av betydelsDue to the principle of equality before the law health care practitioners’ risk being subjected to public prosecution in general court because of a mistake made in their work. Although the number of legal cases is low, this essay aims to examine criminal liability for health care practitioners for mistakes that occur during their professional practice. In particular, the factors that might be of
