This thesis investigates the stock return and its variance around seasoned equity offering announcements for Swedish companies listed on the OMX Large cap, Mid cap and Small cap exchanges. The analysis is made on a full sample containing 52 SEOs, as well as two sub-samples containing underwritten and non-underwritten SEOs. The framework for the event study is OLS regressions based on the CAPM-mode
Lauded for its success and heralded as an economic model for peripheral European countries to follow, since the bursting of the Irish property bubble in 2008 the management of the Celtic Tiger by the Irish state has been castigated as expressively how not to manage an economic bubble. Following a decade and a half of continuous growth averaging over six per cent, the Irish economy has since experi
Människohandel är ett samhällsproblem där människor i en redan sårbar situation utnyttjas. Min undersökning behandlar människohandel för arbetskraft, jag har utfört en intervjustudie med tre fackförbund, där jag undersökt deras syn på skillnaden av skydd för olika kategorier av arbetstagare. Med hjälp av Hanna Arendts teori om medborgarskapets betydelse för att räknas som rättighetsinnehavare, harHuman trafficking is a social problem where people in an already vulnerable situation are taken advantage off. My research is regarding labor trafficking. I have conducted interviews with three different trade unions to get their views on the difference in protection for the various categories of workers. Hanna Arendt’s theory about the importance of citizenship in order to have human rights, hav
Utveckling och testning av reaktorer för katalysmätningar Katalysatorer är oumbärliga i såväl livsprocesser som industriella tillämpningar. Bilismen är ett exempel där katalysatorer används vid såväl bränsletillverkning som avgasrening. Men detta är långt ifrån det enda användningsområdet. Katalysatorer är också delaktiga i tillverkningen av uppemot 90% av alla kemikalier. Industriella katalysaIn this project four reactors for studies of heterogeneous catalysis have been developed. They were tested using case studies, especially concerning methane oxidation over palladium. The test measurements showed that the reactors work or would work very well after slight modifications. The first reactor allowed for activity measurement using mass spectrometry for temperatures up to at least 1000°C
As the spread of the internet continues, more people than ever search for medical information online when in need of health advice. Color is a prominent part of website aesthetics, and has been shown in the literature to have both positive and negative psychological effects. A total of 120 participants took part in the present study where the effect of the colors grey, blue, orange and red was tes
I svenska kommuner används för tillfället ofta papperskartor som geografiskt hjälpmedel vid fältarbete. En mobil GIS (geografiskt informationssystem)applikation skulle kunna vara ett användbart hjälpmedel vid sådant fältarbete och speciellt för att genomföra fältinventering. I detta examensarbete har en sådan applikation utvecklas. Applikationen har utvecklats för Örebro kommun och kallas iSurvey.Currently, Swedish municipalities generally use paper maps to conduct field work. A Mobile GIS (geographical information system) application could be a useful tool when conducting field work and field inventory work. In this master thesis, such an application has been developed. The application was developed for the municipality in Örebro and is called iSurvey. When developing a mobile application
Heavy trucks vehicles by design often suffer from issues causing driver discomfort. That discomfort is here considered caused by oscillations in the driveline, which are affecting the driver. The driveline oscillations – sometimes referred to as shunt and shuffle - exist because of the sheer amount of power in a heavy truck engine, combined with a driveline where the components are relatively weak
The Italian society have severe problems with discrimination against women, and they are not showing any progress in the field. This text examines what understanding the Italian government shows for the deep rooted gender stereotypes and the impact those gender stereotypes has on womens working situation. To answer that I have studied their state report to the committee for Convention of the Elimi
In this thesis, the main focus of study has been the construction of violence in correlation with men using violence and violence being used against men. With a qualitative reasearch method, six interviews with six seperate employees at the Crisis Center have been conducted. The Crisis Center is a treatment center where therapy is given to men, women, teens, and children that have experienced phys
In January 2011, Marine Le Pen was elected the new president of the French right populist political party Front National (“National Front”), a role she took over from her father, Jean-Marie Le Pen, who had been the president since the creation of the party in 1972. To deal with the somewhat dubious past of Front National, and in order to make it more commonly accepted in the political sphere, Mari
I denna uppsats undersöks undertextning av matlagningsprogram. Undertextning är på många sätt en begränsad form av översättning, och uppsatsen undersöker hur begränsningarna påverkar innehållet i matlagningsprogram, samt om det går att utläsa några normer i undertextningen av dessa. Materialet består av transkriberat engelskt tal och svenska undertexter från tre olika brittiska matlagningsprogram
Popular science summary: Potential Distribution for the Endangered Asian Wild Ass Over the past century, large mammals have been globally under increasing pressure of humanized landscapes. Since extirpations of large herbivores are likely to have complicated consequences for the entire ecosystem, their conservation is a priority. With almost 81% threatened species, Perissodactyla (odd-toad ungu
The debate about the link between economic growth and foreign trade is still open amongst scholars. There exist four main hypotheses regarding the relation between imports, exports and economic growth. The first one states that growth can come only through increasing the volume of exports of the country, i.e. export – led – growth hypothesis. The second one (growth – led – exports hypothesis)
Popular science Carbon cycle has great importance in all time scales for its inter-connected relation and response with climate system. Increased anthropogenic emission of CO2 is alleged to impact the climate system in the future, which will affect the feedback between carbon cycle and climate change. In this project, a climate-carbon cycle feedback analysis has been conducted by using long simula
Det huvudsakliga syftet är att pröva antagandet att svenskans genussytem är grundat på semantiska uppdelningar. Teorin utgår framför allt ifrån Greville Corbetts idéer om att alla genussystem har en semantisk kärna och dennes The Animacy Hierarchy och The Agreement Hierarchy står i fokus. Materialet som undersöks utgörs till största delen av elva animata neuter men –is-avledningar, sex substantiv
In Sweden, the tramway was introduced in the late 19th century as horse tramways. Entrepreneurs around the country saw advantages of the new mean of transport which, due to low frictional resistance could transport a large amount of passengers with low traction force. In the beginning of the 20th century the horses were replaced by electric motors and the tramway spread to more cities. The entry o
The non-enzymatic browning of glucose was investigated by accelerating the glucose degradation with or without heating glucose solutions for 1 h at 100°C with different reagents. Evaluation of the glucose degradation was performed using two types of glucose, glucose A and glucose B, in order to investigate the influence of the glucose manufacturing process on glucose discoloration. The color forma
DUVAN™ är en screeningundersökning som används på gymnasiet och komvux för att ta reda på vilka elever som behöver hjälp med läsning och skrivning. Konstruktörerna Ingvar Lundberg och Ulrika Wolff har utformat testet utifrån den fonologiska hypotesen och med sina sex delprov kartlägger det elevernas fonologiska förmågor. Syftet med vår undersökning var att utforska om DUV AN'm är lämpligt i si
