The purpose of this thesis is to analyse the audit regulatory space with regard to fraud and discuss the elements of the expectation gap as constructed by the IAASB and its stakeholders. The research question is addressed by a qualitative approach, using Political Discourse Analysis, the concept of regulatory space and an analytical framework designed by the authors. The analysis of the constructi

This thesis examines the Climate Mass held in Stockholm Cathedral in September 2023. The aim is to understand the theology of the Climate Mass and how it terms and theologically processes and interpret the climate crisis in a Swedish church sermon. The thesis also investigates how the context matter for theology in eco-theological preaching in the Church of Sweden. Using an eco-theological framewo
In one of the most fragile regions in the world, the European Union (EU) has increased its attempts to bring peace by exporting its own vision of stability. This study examines how the EU has managed the relationship between development and security in the Sahel region through its Regional Action Plans (RAPs) from 2011, 2015, and 2021. Through the application of Mark Duffield's (2014) theory,
This research paper investigates the technical feasibility, system requirements, performance characteristics, and potential for optimization of an industrial heat pump in a district heating system, using the Modelon Impact platform. The study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the benefits and limitations of using cloud-based simulation platforms for the design and analysis of indust
The purpose of the study was to gain a better understanding of informal leadership on the flight deck and how leadership can be effectively practiced by a first officer from the right seat, with the intention to strengthen team performance. The research question tried to answer if informal leadership is present on the flight deck and what factors contribute to the first officer’s ability to influe
This thesis investigates the causal relationship between board diversity and the performance of firms that have gone public in the Nordics through Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) during the 2020s, a period characterised by significant economic, regulatory, and demographic shifts. By implementing a robust instrumental variable (IV) approach with the Bartik shift-share instrument, the study examines
In Swedish schools, a warm lunch is served every day. The lunch is prepared in a large-scale food service system and includes steam-cooked potatoes several times per week. The potatoes are often industrially pre-treated to facilitate the handling and logistics required to cook hundreds of meals in a couple of hours. During the industrial pre-treatment, the potato tubers are usually peeled by abraIn Swedish schools, a warm lunch is served every day. The lunch is prepared in a largescale food service system and includes steam-cooked potatoes several times per week.

During the industrial pretreatment, the potato tubers are usually peeled by abrasio
Bacterial and fungal growth rate measurements are sensitive variables to detect changes in environmental conditions. However, while methods to assess the species composition and biomass of fungi and bacteria has made much progress, information about growth rates remains surprisingly rudimentary. We review the recent history of approaches to assess bacterial and fungal growth rates, leading up to c
This paper investigated how different types of automation affect tactical driving behavior, depending on trust in the system. Previous research indicates that drivers wait for automation to act, delegating the monitoring of traffic situations. This would be especially true for those who have more trust in automation. Behavioral and gaze data from 30 participants driving an advanced simulator were
Autonomous systems, machine learning, and artificial intelligence are continuously integrated into our everyday lives. Accompanying this trend is a renewed distrust and concern that technological development may outpace creator control with deleterious results for society. The trustworthiness of the systems and the organisations that operate them is gaining greater attention in public discourse, m
The COP21 Paris Agreement is considered a milestone on the way to limiting global warming to 1.5°C. For the first time in history, a climate convention is signed by all 198 members of the UNFCCC, with each signatory state being responsible for developing their own climate strategy that considers the national circumstances. Given Canada’s colonial history, the Canadian government has a special res
The decentralization of fiscal responsibilities in China has strengthened economic development and enhanced local public management. However, due to fiscal competition, local governments that are fiscally constrained tend to neglect environmental standards in favour of economic growth. This study researches how outcomes of fiscal federalism in China, measured by budgetary ratios of gross regional
The Swedish housing market faces a number of concerns. There are too few rental units with cheap rent available and the capital input to buy your own freehold title or tenant-ownership is skyrocketing. The threshold for entering the housing market is getting higher and groups such as young adults, new arrivals, disabled people, and the elderly are the ones who are the most exposed. Developers get
I våldtäktsmål är det inte ovanligt att den enda bevisningen utgörs av målsägandens utsaga. Avsaknad av övrig bevisning har kommit att skapa ovisshet angående huruvida målsägandens utsaga ensamt kan anses vara tillräcklig för att uppnå beviskravet, eller om det även krävs någon form av stödbevisning. Ett sådant krav på stödbevisning skulle dock kunna hamna i konflikt med bevisrättsliga principer. In criminal cases concerning rape, it is not uncommon that evidence only consists of the victim's testimony. The lack of other evidence has led to the question whether the injured party’s testimony alone can be considered sufficient to achieve the evidentiary requirement, or if any support evidence is required. However, such a requirement of support evidence could be in conflict with fundament
Att tilltalade påstår att de handlat i sömnen är inget nytt fenomen, internationella mordrättegångar finns återgivna från mitten av 1800-talet. Uppsatsen omfattar en undersökning av 75 tingsrättsdomar varav 42 överklagats och avgjorts i hovrätten. Vid svenska brottmålsrättegångar är det främst vid åtal om sexualbrott och brottslighet relaterad till bilkörning där tilltalade påstått att de sov vid The ‘Sleepwalking Defence’ is not a new phenomena. The first murder case in which defence lawyers blamed the violent crime on an unconscious act performed by a sleeping defendant dates back to the mid 19th century. This essay investigates 75 such district court judgments of which 42 have been ruled by the Court of Appeals. Within Swedish criminal proceedings, the majority of cases where the accuse
Increasing waste generation levels are presenting a multitude of issues from both low and high- income countries around the world. High levels of greenhouse gas emissions, water contamination and ecosystem endangerment are all concerns that are exacerbated by improper management of waste. Major shifts in the waste management sector are necessary in order to tackle these issues sustainably and for
The concept of Industry 4.0 is widely discussed among scholars and business leaders alike. Being able to adapt to this fourth industrial revolution is argued by many as necessary to stay competitive and to be profitable. Many companies today, however, have production lines built on legacy systems, as well as their own unique product challenges. This study aims to overcome these challenges by explo
