Redovisningskvalité : -Förhållandet mellan oväntade periodiseringar och andelen konsultarvode

Widding, Peter, Ruusila, Esko January 2008 (has links)
Kvalité är viktigt i många sammanhang, vare sig det gäller produkter, tjänster, konstnärliga verk eller kapital, för att nämna några. Det finns olika mått att mäta kvalitet såsom pålitlighet, prestanda, säkerhet, uppfyllelse av avtal och lämplighet. Sammanfattningsvis kan sägas att många ting uttrycks i termer av kvalité.   Denna studie fokuseras på området redovisning, där vi kommer att göra ett försök att mäta kvalité inriktat mot att mäta redovisningskvalité. Denna genom en kvantitativ metod som kallas Jones (1991) model, som kopplar ett företags faktiska och oväntade periodiseringar mot variabler som konsultarvodets storlek och därigenom få ett mått på redovisningskvalite.   Problemformulering Finns det något samband mellan redovisningskvalité och andelen konsultarvode till revisionsbyråer i små svenska aktiebolag? Syfte Vårt syfte är att undersöka ifall redovisningskvaliteten i små svenska aktiebolag har ett samband med storleken på konsultarvodet i förhållande till det totala arvodet till revisionsbyrån. Ifall ett samband finns kommer vi även att undersöka hur detta förhållande ser ut. Vi kommer också att undersöka några kontrollvariabler för att se deras samband med den beroende variabeln oväntade periodiseringar.

Desperate hero : a study of character and fate in the novels of Graham Greene

Easton, Tristan R. January 1973 (has links)
The purpose of this thesis will be to show how Graham Greene's vision of man's position in the modern world changes and deepens as the author matures as a man and a novelist. The thesis will be primarily concerned with the relationship of the central characters of Greene's novels to their environment. I will try to show how this relationship, which in Greene's early novels is often fatalistic and deterministic, changes as Greene becomes more concerned with the possibilities of a spiritual and moral 'awakening' within his heroes which can perhaps counterbalance the forces of determinism. In order to explore this expansion of Greene's vision, it will be necessary to analyze not only the growth in complexity and self-awareness that takes place in the main characters of Greene's novels, but also to explore the moral and physical universe these characters inhabit. It is the unceasing conflict between the oppressive, paralyzing environment and the protagonist's desperate search for meaning and purpose that creates the basic tension in Greene's writings. I hope to show in this essay that while the environment remains a more or less hostile constant in Greene's fictional world, the scope and vision of the protagonist is widened and enlarged to the extent that he becomes an individual capable of choice and action rather than a mere victim imprisoned by forces beyond his control. This study of the development of the hero in Greene's fiction is composed of four chapters, which attempt to delineate the changing relationship between the hero and his world. Chapter One, "The Outsider As Victim", focuses on Greene's early novels — The Man Within, It's a Battlefield, Stamboul Train and England Made Me — which portray a world where the protagonists become a prey to themselves and their environment, unable to rise above their own impotence as the fatalistic world closes in around them. Chapter Two, "Studies in Social Determinism", deals with two novels, A Gun for Sale and Brighton Rock, in which the author develops the conflict between determinism and free will. Although both Raven and Pinkie, the protagonists of these two novels, have occasional glimpses of the possibilities of love and peace that are denied the earlier characters, they too are denied these possibilities because they have no free will. They cannot choose to live, since, totally conditioned by confusion and hatred, they are destined for destruction, haunted as they may be by visions of 'freedom'. Chapter Three, "The Rise of the Individual", attempts to show how the protagonists of The Power and the Glory and The Heart of the Matter emerge as fully rounded individuals who are able to choose and act in spite of the fatalistic world that threatens to stifle free will. Greene's increasing emphasis on God's mercy and grace creates an 'opening' in the deterministic world; the protagonist is no longer necessarily a victim of his own inevitable fate. The concluding chapter, "Love and Commitment", will attempt to summarize the new more positive stance of the protagonist in Greene's later, increasingly more secular novels -- The End of the Affair, The Quiet American, The Burnt-Out Case and The Comedians. / Arts, Faculty of / English, Department of / Graduate

The application of Strumpel's behavioral economic model to explain financial behavior

Toccafondi, Toni L. 24 October 2009 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to apply Strumpel's behavioral economic model to explain personal financial behavior. Three categories of variables as identified by the model determined the independent variables in the study. These variable groups were defined as the objective environment consisting of financial life cycle stage, income, education, occupation, ethnicity, and gender; person dimensions including self-esteem, money self-esteem, and locus of control; and dimensions of subjective well-being represented by perceived income adequacy and satisfaction with financial situation. Three research questions were explored in the study: ( a) Can personal financial behavior be explained by the objective environment; (b) Can personal financial behavior be explained by person dimensions; and (c) Can personal financial behavior be explained by subjective well-being? The respondents were from a pre-collected data set entitled Financial Attitudes and Practices of Virginia Citizens (N = 521). Factor analysis was utilized to statistically determine appropriate groups of financial behaviors, from 23 behavior items in the study, to selVe as the dependent variables. Conceptually, these behavior factors were determined to represent credit use behaviors, financial planning behaviors, financial management behaviors, and financial control behaviors. Multiple regression was the primary statistical procedure used in the analysis. The combination of independent variables explained 36% (p<.OO1) of the variance in credit use behavior, 41 % (p<.OO1) of the variance in financial planning behavior, 15% (p<.001) of the variance in financial management behavior, and 9% (p<.01) of the variance in financial control behavior. The subjective well-being variables significantly contributed to the explanation of the variance in two behavior dimensions. Measures of self-esteem and locus of control were significant predictors of three of the four behavior dimensions. Objective environment variables also accounted for significant portions of the variance in the dependent variables. Findings suggested that the objective environment, subjective well-being, and person dimensions help explain financial management behavior. The results of this study did provide evidence to support further application of Strumpel's model as a guide to explain financial management behavior. / Master of Science

Sensacionalismo, prejuicios y estereotipos en los diarios limeños durante la epidemia de cólera de 1991

Valdivia Rey, Milagros del Pilar 19 September 2014 (has links)
El objetivo principal de esta tesis es identificar cuáles fueron los estereotipos y prejuicios que la prensa escrita limeña reprodujo y reforzó en torno a los enfermos de cólera durante la epidemia de 1991. A través de sus páginas, los diarios promovieron la idea de que quienes se contagiaban de esta enfermedad eran personas pobres, sucias e ignorantes. Estas nociones se vincularon también con los provincianos y migrantes, de quienes además se cuestionaron sus costumbres poco higiénicas. Los diarios sensacionalistas, además, buscaron llamar la atención sobre diferentes aspectos de la enfermedad, lo que generó confusión y pánico entre la población. Para el estudio de las epidemias es fundamental comprender que estas distan de ser simples hechos biológicos, pues ayudan también a revelar, como explica Cueto, “dimensiones del tejido social que no aparecen claras en la vida cotidiana” (Cueto 1997: 17-18). En efecto, gracias a ellas es posible apreciar la relación entre el sistema económico y las condiciones de vida, además de mentalidades, ideologías, creencias religiosas, prejuicios, estereotipos sobre los enfermos, grupos étnicos y clases sociales. Esta idea ha sido crucial para el desarrollo de la presente investigación, porque la epidemia de cólera permitió dar cuenta de los prejuicios que ya existían sobre los pobres y los provincianos, pero que se vieron reforzados por la enfermedad. Otro historiador que trata el tema es Charles Rosenberg (1989), quien objeta que se entienda solamente una dimensión en las enfermedades: que atacan el cuerpo y que causan dolor o incapacidad. Por el contrario, explica que 2 cada generación construye un repertorio verbal en torno a ellas, además de que reflejan la historia intelectual e institucional de la medicina y la sociedad. A su vez, son aspectos de legitimación de políticas públicas, permiten definir roles sociales y son un elemento estructural en las relaciones entre médicos y pacientes. La epidemia de cólera del año 1991 ha generado, hasta el momento, poco debate en la historiografía nacional y solo son dos trabajos que la tienen como tema de investigación. El primero es una crónica escrita en julio de ese mismo año por el sociólogo Carlos Reyna y por el historiador Antonio Zapata (1991). Un análisis posterior fue realizado por el historiador Marcos Cueto en un capítulo de su libro El regreso de las epidemias (1997). En constraste, son abundantes las publicaciones del entorno médico. La fuente principal para la tesis la constituyen los diarios limeños El Comercio, La República, El Peruano, Ojo y El Popular. Se optó por revisar los ejemplares de estos diarios desde febrero de 1991, cuando inició la epidemia, hasta marzo de 1992. Se hizo necesario tener esta mirada amplia para poder tener una mejor comprensión de los temas a investigar. Fue por esta razón que la fecha de corte se tomó al final del verano de 1992, pues también se tuvo en cuenta que las altas temperaturas de esta estación favorecen la rápida expansión del cólera. Esta tesis se encuentra dividida en tres capítulos. El primero de ellos tiene como propósito analizar el estado del saneamiento a inicios de 1991. El segundo capítulo busca comprender el impacto que tuvo la llegada del cólera. Finalmente, el tercer capítulo tiene por objetivo examinar el discurso de la prensa limeña frente a la epidemia. En este último se tratan los estereotipos en torno a los enfermos de cólera, la controversia en torno al consumo de alimentos marinos que afectó a consumidores, pescadores y restaurantes y finalmente las noticias presentadas en los diarios sensacionalistas / Tesis

Measures of reality : the religious life of Virginia Woolf

Streufert, Mary J. 08 June 1998 (has links)
Virginia Woolf was a self-proclaimed atheist, yet her fictional and personal writing reveal her ecstatic consciousness. Characters in Woolf s novels experience ecstasy, and her letters and diaries support the theory that she herself had experienced ecstatic consciousness. Major figures in the philosophy of religion assert that ecstatic consciousness is the root of all religion; it is primary to religious dogma and doctrine. Therefore, despite the fact that Woolf did not speak of God with the theistic language of her culture, she can be understood anew as a religious person. / Graduation date: 1999
