Denna studie handlar om identitetsskapandet hos unga kvinnor utifrån fem gymnasietjejers deltagande i en fokusgrupp samt flera teoretiska begrepp vilka sedan utgjort denna uppsats teoretiska ramverk. Centrala begrepp som återkommer i uppsatsen är till exempel normativ femininitet, klass, och symboliskt kapital. Syftet med uppsatsen är försöka få ökad förståelse för kvinnors tidiga identitetsskapan
Syfte: Att fastställa huruvida Market-to-Book och/eller storlek kan förklara överavkastningar hos aktier noterade på Nasdaq OMX Nordic Stockholm. Metod: Användning av t-test och regressionsanalys för att fastställa parametrarnas inverkan på överavkastningar. Slutsats: Överavkastningar kan förklaras med hjälp av både storlek och M/B men sambandet mellan M/B och överavkastningar är svagare.Purpose: To determine whether Market-to-Book and/or size can explain excess returns among stocks listed on Nasdaq OMX Nordic Stockholm. Method: Using t-test and regression analysis to determine the parameters’ contribution to excess returns. Conclusion: Excess returns can be explained with both size and M/B but the relation between M/B and excess returns is weaker.
Job satisfaction has been proved to be negatively correlated with labor mobility (Freeman, 1977). China faces a huge labor shortage and this problem worsens as migrant workers stay at their home provinces. This paper examines job satisfaction and its determinants among Chinese rural-urban migrant workers. This analysis is based on a number of previous theoretical and empirical studies. Data is use
The Next to Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM) allows a CP violating phase at tree level in the Higgs sector. This CP violation will introduce new mixing between the neutral Higgs states and give rise to changes in the mass spectrum and couplings. We investigate these effects in light of the newly discovered Higgs boson, as its measured properties provides new limits on the Higgs sector
This study analyzes the personal identification process that takes place in the actual meeting of a job coach and a job seeker, with the purpose of making the job seeker employable. The empirical data consists of observations during nine job coach meetings, and interviews with four job coaches. The analysis is based on a social constructionist perspective. The findings point to contradictions in t
This research examines the relevancy of Solow growth model in 20 OECD countries over the period 1971-2011. Following Mankiw-Romer-Weil (1992) and Islam (1995), I estimate both textbook and augmented Solow model. Along with OLS, estimation is carried out implementing both static panel and dynamic panel GMM carries out estimation. Results imply that appending human capital measure in augmented Solo
This master thesis investigates the possibility of combining a regular visual surveillance camera with a thermal infrared surveillance camera monitoring the same view of a scene to detect and classify heat radiating objects such as human beings. A method is presented for the application of privacy masking of a window while detecting heat radiating objects between the cameras and the window and pre
The purpose of this thesis is to examine whether or not the producer surplus calculated in Swedish cost benefit analyses correlate with the actual outcome in a satisfying way. In order to do this the electrification of Blekinge coastal railway in southern Sweden is examined by looking at the two parts of the producer surplus, the income generated by, and the cost of producing the service. While
While it is fairly certain that people have experienced emotions all throughout history, it is less certain how we understand historical expressions of emotion in a modern context and what value such an understanding could bring to examinations of the link between power and the people. The aim of this master thesis is to gain deeper understanding regarding the relationship between human emotions a
The aim of this study is to critically explore the effects of pre-existing gender norms on the use of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) in the conflict in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), and the normalization of such violence by examining the links between peacetime and wartime sexual violence. The analysis is based on a research overview that highlights aspects of gender, violen
Hermafroditens historia är lång och kan avslöja hur våra könsidentiteter har skapats och upprätthållits genom historien. I denna studie studeras en rad historikers och litteraturvetares försök att skriva hermafroditens historia och hur de går tillväga för att bygga upp konstruktionen kön. Utgångspunkten är en queer förståelse av könen och fokus ligger på kön som performativt. Vad man kan se är en

ABSTRACT Already in 1960, the Harvard professor Theodore Levitt concluded that without the capabilities to adapt, companies risk missing imminent trends and changes in the market and could suddenly be outrun by competitors. The subject of business model adaption has since been heavily discussed and is, if possible, of even greater importance today. With this thesis, the authors aspires to cast lig

Summary This master thesis evaluates the benefits of using multi-echelon control instead of single-echelon control of a multi-echelon inventory system. The multi-echelon inventory system studied in this thesis is a one-warehousemultiple- retailer inventory system. Multi-echelon inventory control is defined as a method to optimize the inventory system by taking the interdependencies between differe
