Bakgrund och Problem: Planering används inom företag för att stödja beslutsfattande och kontroll. För kortsiktig planering har budgeten länge varit det huvudsakliga styrmedlet. Detta är något som inte alltid passar i en snabbföränderlig omvärld, vilket har resulterat i att andra styrmedel som till exempel prognoser har fått en ökad betydelse. Styrverktyget måste anpassas till varje enskilt företag
In the post-crisis environment the discussion about the optimal monetary policy in the Euro Area (EA) is an important topic. A number of scholars have argued that a big part of the problem of the EA is the currency union, because Europe is too heterogeneous for a currency area. This paper asks what impact the existence of the currency union has had on the effectiveness of monetary policy in the EA
The purpose of the study was to examine how high school students in Kenya define and discuss democracy. The aim was further to examine which factors, both positive and negative that are assumed to affect the democratization in their country. The goal was to contribute to a critical debate around how the concept of democracy is defined in existing theories and how it is implemented by development p

The increasing trends of immigration in the affluent North nation-states from the global South has led to the growing awareness of the problem of immigrants' political integration and their resulting participation in the existing political systems of this nation.The importance of this subject is underscored by the challenges posed to the established understanding of nation and citizenship, on
Risk measures such as Value at Risk are highly dependent on a sample of daily returns. The daily return can be measured in different intervals and this thesis examines how the choice of the daily return interval affects derivative pricing, risk measures, fund performance and products with collateral agreements. It is shown that the VaR measure varies significantly with the choice of daily return i

Med en begrepps- och innehållsanalys har jag redogjort på vilket sätt Sverigedemokraterna är euroskeptiska och nationalistiska. Jag har använt mig av Anna Lindhs Europatanke som utgångspunkt då hon tidigt såg sambandet mellan euroscepticism och nationalism. Det folkliga stödet för EU i Sverige är lågt och faktorer som t.ex. den ekonomiska krisen har gjort att allt fler ifrågasätter den supernation
Ville Berg Malmborg Skeppstrafiken ökar antalet nanopartiklar i atmosfären I den här studien där aerosoler, luft-partiklar, studerats i marin miljö visar resultaten att utsläpp från skeppstrafiken kan bidra till att öka antalet nanopartiklar i luften. De partiklar som studerats här är i första hand de allra minsta nanopartiklarna som bildas i atmosfären. Dessa bildas vid ungefär 1 nanometer genoThe most important parameter for estimates of the anthropogenic induced climate change is the radiative forcing. In a comparison of the earth’s radiative budget in the year 2011 relative to 1750, the intergovernmental panel on climate change concludes that the largest uncertainty in the total radiative forcing derives from aerosol particles and their ability to modify cloud properties as cloud con
The occurrence of wildfires is greatly dependent on an ecoregions typical climate and land cover type. To investigate whether climate or land cover primarily lead to wildfires in the conterminous United States, wildfire events from 1999- 2010 are analyzed. Wildfires are divided into years and eco-divisions, a sub-form of ecoregions. To assess whether warmer and dryer divisions are more severely a
The proposed evaluation process concluded with providing some suggestions for the stockyard that helps S:t Eriks Staffanstorp to work in a more time efficient way, to achieve a better customer service related to shipping times. The solution is divided into two different ideas: storing according the ABC analysis assigning the areas close to the shipping area the A products, and the second one is fo
Over the last 20 years the population in large Swedish cities and their suburbs has grown with 25%. This massive population growth has increased the competition in the housing market, which results in people moving more often. The most frequent movers are between 20-30 years old and they move every 6-12 months. With this background the goal was to examine the living situation for these people. Wha
Öppen innovation innebär att en organisation öppnar upp sig för att absorbera och dela resurser, interna som externa, i innovationsutvecklingen genom skapandet av allianser med olika aktörer, interna som externa, för att utveckla produkter för kommersiellt bruk. Uppsatsen berör beaktningen och påverkan av för- och nackdelar vid val av molntjänster för utövandet av öppen innovation. Genom intervjue
Abstract The purpose of this essay is to empirically examine the impact of euro debt crisis in Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Spain in terms of their trade patterns relative to the export performance of OECD countries. Panel data for 34 OECD countries are investigated with fixed effects within a gravity model framework for period 1992-2012. In such a way, the benchmark model of the paper con
The aim of this study was to examine the effects of the liberalization wave which is sweeping across America in recent times, and how it influence our way of thinking and working with marijuana in Skåne, Sweden. To understand how it’s affecting us my study are based on interviewing social workers and other professionals working with marijuana and other narcotic related problems. My interviews were
The automation industry is facing many challenges with higher demands on their production process. Technology used today does not allow for fast changes in the production line. This thesis will investigate how services can be modelled using a new standard OPC UA for data exchange. Encapsulation of the mechatronic functions as services will allow for creating control software using a SOA approach.
