The aim of this paper is to provide answers to questions related to valuation accuracy and error determinants by investigating the US market over the last 15 years (2000-2014). The first questions are related to the market efficiency in its weak form, while the rest of the paper is focused on valuation accuracy using the multiples approach and the error determinant variables that can influence the
Adapting to climate change impacts is crucial as changes due to climate change are already locked in and will occur independently of reductions of greenhouse gas emissions. Recent studies in climate change adaptation literature have cited that social learning is beneficial for increasing adaptive capacity. The capacity for social learning is governed by the degree of flexibility of the institution
In our technology-based society, there has been a clear focus on technical weaknesses to information security. This study will present another danger that is just as important to be aware of and is just as lethal, Social Engineering. This is an attack against the human element of security. This study covers a basic description of social engineering as well as a more thorough description of how the
A green economy refers to an economy that is able to create economic welfare, while at the same time being environmentally sustainable. Some indexes, like the Global Green Economy Index and the OECD Better Life Index, ranks Sweden high in this area, while others, such as the Global Footprint Network, ranks the country low. The purpose of this thesis is to critically examine why Sweden receives div
Studiens syfte har varit att studera våldsutsatta kvinnors bemötande av polisen samt vilka behov kvinnan ger uttryck för, under och efter den våldsamma händelsen. De frågeställningar som har berörts är följande: Vilka upplevelser har de våldsutsatta kvinnorna avseende polisens bemötande i Serbien och hur påverkar mötet med polisen den våldsutsatta kvinnans vidare utredning? För att kunna svara på The study's purpose has been to, based on abused women's experiences, examine their experience of the encounter with the police in Serbia and their needs, during and after the the violent incident. The questions for this study were following: What experiences does the abused women have regarding police treatment in Serbia and how does the encounter with the police affect her further invest
Uppsatsens syfte var att undersöka testet Krona/Klaves användbarhet för att identifiera oro och rädsla hos barn. Testet syftar till att identifiera barn som drivs av rädsla och oro i konfliktsituationer genom att undersöka hur deras svarstid förändras när konflikten blir allt viktigare. Testet utgår ifrån teori om Behavioral Inhibition System (BIS) som menar att en central funktion för en individ The purpose of the study was to examine the test KronaKlaves usefulness to identify worry and fear in children. The test aims at identifying children who are driven by fear in conflict situations by examining how the answer latency changes in the child when the conflict gets more important. The core concept of the test is the Behavioral Inhibition System (BIS) which states that a central function
Purpose: The purpose of the thesis is to fill the research gap as previous research on the topic of interest lacks a country specific research on how culture effects standardization vs. adaptation by MNCs in emergent markets, in context to a specific advertising strategy. By providing a unique cross-cultural study on five different emergent markets (China, Pakistan, Mexico, Turkey and CWAR) the re
The recent global financial crisis has once again shown how fragile the financial system is. This essay investigates the credit risk in the Nordic banking sector by measuring the probability of default of the six major Nordic banks. This is done by using the Merton (1974) model which utilizes stock prices as well as balance sheet data. The results are compared with an approach first suggested by H
The great number of polluted sites has become a big issue for many countries around the globe as the risk of people being exposed to hazardous substances follows. To deal with the problem within Sweden the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency (Naturvårdsverket) has developed a unified Method for Inventory of Contaminated Sites, called MIFO. In this study a number of inventories that were made
CFD simulations of direct gas injection, especially in large dual-fuel engines, can be expensive both regarding time and computational power. The nozzle area needs to be resolved with a fine mesh to capture all phenomena and for a full engine model this results in a large amount of cells. A method using a Lagrangian Particle Tracking (LPT) approach was developed to handle gas injection by injectin
Construction accounts for major challenges when it comes to reducing the environmental impact. Circular economy is a concept that opens up for a more circular holistic approach and when the concept is implemented in the construction industry the concept can get the construction industry to move away from the traditional linear model. This fact opens up for a question about how circular economy can
The Swedish government started its initiative for electronic services (e-services) in 2005 to create the infrastructure for information management, optimize the government, and potentially save tax money. The technological paradigm Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) was adopted to facilitate the Swedish government's initiative. The purpose of SOA is to increase efficiency for developing e-ser
The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether the Swedish Riksbank's repo rate has any asymmetric effects on Swedish exports and imports. This question becomes especially interesting when considered within the context of today’s unprecedented monetary policy measures. The relationship between real interest rates, real exchange rates and the current account has been exposed to extensive r
Uppsatsen studerar rättspraxis med hänseende på tillämpningen av undantaget av datorprogram från patentering enligt artikel 52 i Europeiska patentkonventionen (EPC) och om denna rättspraxis som den har utvecklats hos Europeiska patentverket (EPO) och nationella domstolar konvergerar mot en enhetlig tolkning. Utvecklingen av rättspraxis hos EPO samt i Tyskland, Storbritannien, Frankrike och NederläThe paper examines jurisprudence relating to the exclusion from patentability of programs for computers in article 52 of the European Patent Convention (EPC) and whether the case-law of the European Patent Office (EPO) and of the national courts is converging towards a common interpretation. The development of case-law at the EPO and in Germany, the United Kingdom, France and the Netherlands since
Denna studie fokuserar på agila projektmetoder men utesluter inte traditionella metoder, då de fortfarande används och de kan ställas mot det agila. De tre vanligaste agila metoderna (Scrum, Kanban och XP) samt den mest välkända traditionella metoden (Vattenfallsmetoden) behandlas. De agila metoderna fokuserar på att leverera värde till kunden och ett projekt anses avslutat när användaren är nöjd,
I och med Sveriges medlemskap i EU 1995 skedde en förändring i rättsordningen då EU-rätten överställdes nationell rätt med målet att främja den inre marknaden. Vad gäller direkta skatteområdet finns det dock ett undantag där skattesuveränitet gavs till medlemsstaterna. Av EUD-praxis har framkommit senare att medlemsstaterna trots allt måste beakta kravet på fri rörlighet då de nationella lagarna u
This thesis discusses commemoration processes of the Second World War and the Holocaust in Sweden. The timeframe for this analysis is set from 1995 on when Sweden joined the European Union and general interest in Holocaust research increased in all EU member states in the 1990s. The thesis focuses on memorials and exhibitions in Stockholm dealing with the topic. Through interviews and visual analy
The perception on innovation as a territorial phenomenon is based on successful examples of various innovative territorial agglomerations, e.g. clusters. Knowledge and industry-related information is more abundant and accessible for the firms engaged in clusters. However, rapidly growing number of innovative cross-border clusters signifies that international cooperation is also advantageous for in
