Föreliggande studie undersöker om den riskjusterade avkastningen mellan en momentumstrategi och en passiv indexförvaltning skiljer sig åt. Studien undersöker även om några slutsatser angående marknadseffektivitet kan dras utifrån resultatet. Avgränsningar är gjorda till att endast studera Nasdaq OMX och dess tre listor: Large Cap, Mid Cap och Small Cap. Tidsperioden för undersökningen är 2009-2014
In this thesis, I examine changes within the feminist discourse on Christology. I seek to answer the questions ‘how can we understand the gender of Jesus Christ and how it does affect our salvation’? To answer the question, I make a comparison between what I propose are two generations of feminist theology. I first present the theology of Rosemary Radford Ruether. Ruether’s Sexism and God-Talk is
In the fall of 2015 a huge amount of refugees has come from the Middle East to Europe. Sweden is one of the countries that embraced a lot of these refugees. This study is inspired by the volunteers in a small community in the region of Dalsland were a new refugee housing (asylboende) was established the year before. The main question has been how this change has influenced the community in terms o

This thesis studies the ways in which the concept of honor is presented in the novels The Time of the Hero (1962) by Mario Vargas Llosa and Chronicle of a Death Foretold (1981) by Gabriel García Márquez. After defining what honor is, an investigation of how this concept is presented in the novels and the role it plays in these two literary works will take place. Also, the portrayal of honor in the
With a novel path index design, called the Shortcut Index, we partially solve the problem of executing traversal queries on dense neighborhoods in a graph database. We implement our design on top of the graph database Neo4j but it could be used for any graph database that uses the labeled property graph model. By using a B+ tree, the Shortcut Index can achieve what we call neighborhood locality a
This study is concerned with the subject of the resource curse. When countries discover significant natural resource reserves they counterintuitively exhibit dropping growth rates despite its high world market price. Several researchers have studied this phenomenon and labelled it the “resource curse”. They have tracked it to a number of causes, including how massive mineral windfalls affect the p
The main goal of this master thesis project was to take a manually controlled consumer quality quadrocopter and build the foundations which allows it to be autonomously controlled. This was achieved by introducing a exterior frame of reference through the use of a webcam coupled with image analysis algorithms. The position and rotation of the quadrocopter was identified, and several control struct
Since the Washington consensus in the 1980s, economic liberalization has been seen as a panacea for increasing the economic development and the welfare of a developing country. By reducing trade tariffs and barriers, moving from a socialistic economic system and removing state monopoly on major exports, it is believed that a developing country will increase its income and economic growth while ben

The goal of condition-based maintenance (CBM) is to base the decisions whether or not to perform maintenance on information collected from the machine or component of interest. A condition-based maintenance tool should be able to diagnose if the component of interest is in a state of failure but the ultimate goal of a CBM tool is to be able to estimate time until failure, either in terms of remain
Denna uppsats undersöker hur vårt förhållande till krukväxter utifrån ett klassperspektiv kan spegla olika subjektspositioner. Syftet är att genom intervjuer med krukväxtägare visa på krukväxtens funktion i deras subjektspositionering. Materialet består av transkriberade intervjuer med sex olika informanter i deras hem. Till min hjälp att tolka materialet har jag använt mig av den franske kultursoThis paper examines how our relationship with potted plants from a class perspective can reflect different subject positions.

The aim of this study is to investigate whether simple hand calculation methods are useful complements to CFD-simulations while calculating the temperature and height of the hot gas layer for transient fires. The analysis is based on evaluations of results from experiments, CFD-simulations and hand calculation methods. The room used corresponds to a 1/4th scale ISO 9705 room. The results show that
Det huvudsakliga syftet med aktuell studie var att undersöka vilka enskilda faktorer som bidragit mest till upplevd ilska under pågående vårdtid för LVM-klienter på två LVM-institutioner. Samband mellan ilska och aggression samt könsskillnader i fråga om upplevd ilska och självskattade aggressiva karaktärsdrag har även undersökts. Sextio LVM-klienter med jämn könsfördelning undersöktes med ett helThe main purpose of the current study was to examine the individual factors that contributed most to perceived anger during a hospital stay for LVM clients in two LVM institutions. Associations between anger and aggression, and gender differences in perceived anger and self-rated aggressive traits have also been studied. Sixty LVM clients with equal distribution by genders were examined using a st
What mechanism should be designed to allocate PhD applicants to universities in Sweden? We introduce the Swedish PhD admissions problem, and it is influenced by the college admissions problem (Gale and Shapley 1962) and the student placement problem (Balinski and Sönmez 1999). In order to “solve” this problem, we design a novel mechanism, namely the compromise algorithm. We propose three theorems
FIFA World Cup 2022 is being played in Qatar, which puts tremendous pressure on infrastructure development. To cope, Qatar has brought in more than a million foreign workers, mostly from India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Serious concern for their well being has been expressed and Qatar has been accused of having slave-like working conditions. This paper investigates this situation by using the dis
Upphandlingslagstiftningen är endast tillämplig på upphandlingsprocessen fram till och med att ett upphandlingskontrakt ingåtts mellan en upphandlande myndighet och en leverantör. Parterna har i praktiken dock inte möjlighet att helt fritt råda över sitt pågående upphandlingskontrakt. Upphandlingslagstiftningen kan ändå i vissa fall komma att tillämpas på ett pågående kontrakt om det sker ändringaThe public procurement rules are only applicable to the procurement process until the contracting authority and the contractor has entered into a public contract. Nevertheless the contracting parties are not able to determine their own ongoing contract. The public procurement rules may in some cases still be applied on an ongoing contract if changes are made to it. A change of contractor is a modi
