Revision är en viktig funktion i samhället och näringsliv för att försäkra den information som företag lämnar ifrån sig. Syftet med denna uppsats är att utreda vilka begränsningar som föreligger för en revisor i samband med hans eller hennes utövande av revisionsverksamhet. För att kunna redogöra för det har det varit av vikt att också fastställa vad som avses med revisionsverksamhet och vad revisAuditing is an important function in society and businesses. It is important in order to ensure that the information which companies provide to the public is a correct rendering of the company’s economic position. The purpose of this thesis was to investigate the limitations that exist for an auditor in connection with his or her exercise of auditing. In order to be able to account for this, it ha

This study aims to predict saving behavior using Artificial Neural Network (ANN), XGBoost, and Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithms. First, 25 variables were chosen from the original 217 questions asked by the National Financial Capability Well-Being Survey (2018) NFCS, using exploratory data analysis. K-means clustering was applied to determine the optimal number of saving classes (k=5) to inc

The human immune system responds to a wide variety of pathogens and microorganisms to defend the body. Investigating the cell types and molecular markers of the immune system are critical for the understanding of diseases and finding treatments. Antigen presenting cells (APCs) are sentinels of the immune system that sample the surrounding environment and educate the components of the adaptive immu

To the ensure continuity and protection of critical infrastructures in society, it is necessary to study infrastructure dependencies. This thesis focuses on critical infrastructure dependencies in Sweden and aims to increase the knowledge of how municipalities in Sweden analyze critical dependencies in municipal risk and vulnerability analyses (RVAs). The study adopts a framework of risk governanc

A major area of research in neuroscience is the effect of stimulating nerves into activation from extrinsic stimuli. This is commonly done with electric currents and external skin-contact electrodes. Research has shown that this method is efficient for producing muscle activation and that different current waveforms produce differing levels of activation and discomfort. This report aims to augment

People who don’t eat meat can suffer from iron deficiency due to the lower efficiency of absorption of non-heme iron compared to heme iron. The aim of this master thesis was to explore the possibilities of producing a plant-based alternative of heme-iron by evaluating the efficiency of expression of sugar beet hemoglobin in the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris. The gene from sugar beet hemog

Syfte: Den här pilotstudien hade syftet att undersöka svårighetsgraden av ett urval affix inför en kommande interventionsstudie (huvudstudie) och därmed få en ökad kunskap om barns förståelse för morfem. Studien syftade även till att undersöka samband mellan morfologisk kunskap och ordförståelse samt lärarskattning av kommunikationsförmåga. Metod: Språklig testning genomfördes med hjälp av två te

This study performs a descriptive analysis of the potential effects of intermarriage on children of the immigrants arrived to the US in the Age of Mass Migration. To do this, we use a novel dataset, the Multigenerational Longitudinal Panel Project from IPUMS, that uses US full-count Census data to link people across censuses. This allows us to estimate the effect of intermarriage on children in a

Human Capital is deemed as an imperative factor for economic growth, however, it is argued the extent of this interrelation. Acemoglu, Gallego and Robinson (2014) claim that the institutional framework of a nation, in specificthose of private property are deemed as pivotal for a nation’s development. In this sense, in order to contectualise this argument, the current thesis focuses on the case of

This work studies the practice of school trips to the memorial sites of the Holocaust with the aim of investigating how history is used in order to form tolerance among the participating students. The study employs a theoretical foundation of practice theory and literature on the academic debate on learning from the past. Thematic analysis is used for analyzing commonalities and differences in 7 i

The Art Museum has long acted as a complex and multifaceted symbol of power, exclusion and liberation. In recent time, the Art Museum’s position has shifted from a place of fine culture, a space that separate the elite from “the others”, to undergo a democratization in an attempt to reach a wider audience and become more accessible. At the same time, there is a conflict regarding the Art Museum wh

This thesis examines how bisexuality get constructed as a distinct sexual orientation category through asylum determination processes in Sweden. With a theoretical focus on the interaction between notions of sexuality and national borders this study also investigates how the assessment of ‘sexual orientation’ asylum claims contribute to the regulation of the Swedish border. To investigate these tw

A prototype of a novel 10B-based neutron detector called the Multi-Grid detector has been constructed, tested and commissioned for the European Spallation Source (ESS). The detector is constructed after the specifications set by the CSPEC instrument at ESS and is therefore called the CSPEC Multi-Grid detector. The detector uses multiple layers of solid coating containing 10B4C on the edges of a vo

The primary aim of the following study is to examine how a brand can achieve social sustainability by integrating ethical Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) into their communication of reports. This thesis will study the two active fashion brands GANNI and H&M Group with material that consist of two qualitative content analyses of “GANNI Responsibility Report 2021” and “H&M Group Annual

The success of future Internet of Things (IoT) depends on, among the other things, developing energy-effcient communication techniques that can enable information exchange among billions of IoT devices with ultra-low/zero power consumption requirements. Ambient backscatter communications is an emerging technology, which utilizes the ambient Radio Frequency (RF) signal as the carrier to reduce the

This thesis presents the temperature dependence of InGaAs Nanowire (NW) metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) grown at two different temperatures. The two different growths represent one sample having nanowires which have a mixed crystal structure (showing stacking faults) and one sample with nanowires of pure crystal structure (without stacking faults). The sample with a pu

This thesis will explore the role of cryptocurrencies in a market index portfolio. The portfolios of a mix of Bitcoin, Ether and the market indices S&P 500, OMXS30 and VTI will be examined and optimized to maximize the Sharpe ratio. This process is done using the Markowitz Portfolio Theory for portfolios containing one market index and either one or both cryptocurrencies, numerically optimizin
