Regeringen har sedan 1999 verkat för att effektivisera revisorernas brottsbekämpning för att förebygga och upptäcka ekobrott. Revisorn blev skyldig att anmäla misstanke om brott som kan upptäckas inom revisionsverksaEconomic crime (white-collar crime) in limited companies is a major social problem in Sweden, and the auditor plays an important role in cases of suspected crime for a functioning business community. Since 1999, the government has been working to make the auditors' fight against crime more effective in order to prevent and detect financial crime. The auditor became obliged to report suspici
This paper examines the impact of the Paris agreement on firms on the Swedish stock market. Additionally, the firms were also categorized into sustainable and unsustainable firms by their Environmental Pillar Score (which is part of the ESG score) in order to investigate performance differences between the two groups. On top of that, a comparison between sustainable firms with the market index OMX
The purpose of this study is to investigate how femvertising, in specific advertising which aims to encourage female empowerment, is perceived by two generations of women and if it affects their attitudes toward an ad.

Surrogatarrangemang är ett fenomen som på senare tid vuxit sig allt större; allt fler svenskar reser utomlands för att bilda familj med hjälp av en surrogatmoder. Vid ett surrogatarrangemang åtar sig en kvinna att bära fram ett barn för att sedan, vid barnets födsel, överlämna barnet till de tilltänkta föräldrarna. Ett surrogatarrangemang kan vara antingen altruistiskt eller kommersiellt och ett sSurrogacy arrangements have recently grown into a rather common alternative for Swedish couples. A surrogacy arrangement is usually carried out by a woman undertaking to bear a child on behalf of another. Once the child is born the surrogate mother hands the child over to the intended parents. A surrogacy arrangement is either altruistic or commercial. There are also two types of surrogacy: gestat
SiS särskilda ungdomshem är institutioner där barn och unga i behov av särskild tillsyn placeras, till största del sker detta med stöd av lagen (1990:52) med särskilda bestämmelser om vård av unga (LVU).

The purpose of the thesis is to examine whether the right to health as established in art. 24 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, is respected for girls with men
Barnets skydd i väpnade konflikter är fast förankrat i internationell rätt. Konventioner och överenskommelser som berör barn betonar deras sårbarhet och särskilda behov av skydd. Att barn ska skyddas från krig och konflikt framstår som en självklarhet. Ändå görs de till avsiktliga måltavlor av krigets förövare. För snart 20 år sedan antog FN-medlemsstaterna en princip som ålade dem en skyldighet The protection of children in armed conflict is firmly embedded within international law. Conventions and other agreements concerning children emphasize their vulnerability and special need for protection. It is considered obvious that children should be protected from war and conflict. Yet, they are being deliberately targeted by perpetrators of war. Nearly 20 years ago, UN member states adopted
This is a thesis report for the Master’s program in Risk Management and Safety Engineering at Lund University. It is also a part of the research project Assessing acceptance of privacy-invasive ICT Solutions at the Royal Institute of Technology. Its aim is to examine how the perception and acceptance of privacy-invasive technology is determined by demographics, context and cognitive factors. The m
Interference fit assembly is a state-of-the-art technology for mounting cylindrical shafts into bores. Due to its extreme cost-efficiency it is used even in high-tech applications such as one of Bosch’s gasoline flow controllers. The picture below shows the anchor-needle connection. Due to electromagnetic incitation the assembly oscillates over 55 times per second. In order for the assembly to wit
This is a Master Thesis carried out for and done in cooperation with Getinge Water System A/S. The purpose of the thesis was to develop a new separation system for their Pure Steam Generator. The focus was set on making it smaller without affecting separation efficiency and manufacturing costs. During the projects course, objectives were altered and size was no longer highly prioritized; instead,
Our purpose was to examine the view and perspectives of the residential staff about the disabled individual’s sexuality. Our study was executed in three different group homes. Three questions evolved in our process and quest for insight: How does the residential staff construct the disabled sexuality in a group home? What is the staff´s perception of the disabled responsibility concerning their s
The purpose of my study was to examine how people talk about their sibling position. I wanted to find out how we present ourselves as siblings, rather than establish one for all valid truth. In the study I explored whether people believe their birth order has affected them and if so, with what consequences. I conducted a qualitative study using twelve interviews and analyzed the material with a so
It seems like it can never be said enough times: in order to uphold the objectives of the Internal Market, an equal treatment of resident and non-resident taxpayers have to be granted by the Member States. As for the intricate field of direct taxation, it is still somewhat unclear exactly how this equal treatment looks. Consequently, it is also unclear how far the Member States can stretch the ben
From a continental point of view the Swedish regulation concerning the freedom of the press may appear rather peculiar, since a considerable number of the detailed rules is found at the highest level of the national hierarchy of legal rules - i.e. Grundlagen. In foreign legal systems the freedom of the press is normally stipulated in a very concise way in the constitutional act while the rules reg
Queuing during evacuation is a phenomenon that has to be regarded when designing large buildings with high occupant loads. In theory it would be possible to eliminate or at least reduce the queuing time when evacuating a building if the building is designed with a large number of exits. The problem is that exits equal money and for that reason it has to be assumed that the building constructors’ a
The trend among mobile phones of today is that they are getting smaller at the same time as they are stuffed with more and more functions. As a consequence the phones become more complex and difficult to handle for many users, particularly for people with some kind of physical or cognitive limitation. Still these persons have a need and desire to be able to communicate with their surroundings. The
Regional economic integration is widely spread in Africa, and especially in the eastern region. Three countries in East Africa: Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania, have engaged in various forms of integration since colonial times, and the cooperation has increased further since independence. Today, the East African Community (EAC) has been enlarged, with Rwanda and Burundi as new members, and a customs un
As IT service departments in organisations are becoming more complex and customised, the indirect costs are increasing in relation to the total costs. The difficulty of fully estimating and identifying the spread of the cost in the IT service department is increasing. As a result, firms tend to budget the business unit as a total cost rather than as a spread of defined costs. In order to deal with

A comparison between Swedish- and foreign-born patients with severe diabetic foot ulcers/problems concerning their experiences of the content and organisation of health care was made. A qualitative, descriptive study design was chosen and a consecutive sampling procedure was used. Fifteen
