The insurance industry is notoriously conservative and has seen comparably few technological improvements in the last fifty years. A wave of new technology- driven insurance firms, or insurtechs, is changing that. By leveraging new technology and offering more customer-centric and innovative products, these firms have captured shares in many insurance markets. One technology — yet to be broadly a

Bakgrund: Kvinnors hantering av menstruation har skiftat genom åren. Engångsskydd har stor miljöbelastning och är dyra i inköp. Menskopp är ett till synes miljövänligt och ekonomiskt skydd som ökar i popularitet. Egenmakt eller empowerment är ett yttryck för styrka och att ta ansvar för sin egen kropp och hälsa. Egenmakt kan förstärkas genom att kvinnor upplever kontroll över sin menstruation. Syf

Börsintroduktioner sker årligen vilka uppmärksammas i media i olika utsträckningar. Dessa medievågor mäts av ett så kallat Search Volume Index vilket vi använt oss av för att se hur aktiekursen och avkastningarna påverkats av uppmärksamheten bolagen får vid börsintroduktion. Prisutvecklingen baseras också på om aktien är under- eller överprissatt vilket också undersöks i studien. Indexet har sats

When designing large buildings with complex geometry there is often a need for performance-based design and the use of computer models. CFD models like FDS that are available and validated for this purpose are typically time consuming and require large amounts of computing power. Zone models which are often faster and require less computing power are limited to simple geometries and smaller sized

Bland de mest kraftfulla händelser som människor har observerat är gammablixtar. Blixtarna är korta utbrott av gammastråalning som ibland dyker upp i rymden. Forskare har länge misstänkt att kollisioner mellan neutronstjärnor ligger bakom en kategori av blixtar, de korta gammablixtarna. För några år sedan bekräftades forskarnas misstankar. De kunde då, med det nya LIGO-observatoriet, observera graShort gamma-ray bursts are often observed at large spatial offsets from their host galaxies. Neutron star mergers in double neutron star binaries have also recently been confirmed as a progenitor of short gamma-ray bursts (Abbott et al. 2017). We attempt to constrain uncertainties in the evolution of burst-producing neutron star binaries by generating a distribution of burst offsets from the neutr

CERN operates the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator. The LHC was built to advance the state of knowledge in particle physics by increasing the energy of colliding particles to the TeV range. With this increase in capability comes increased fire safety challenges, including the need for more accurate assessment of fire-induced release of radioac

The study was based on qualitative semi-structured interviews with six pre-school teachers. Profession theory and a dramaturgical perspective were used in the analysis. The results in the study found that preschool teachers frequently use

“Only in the most technical sense is this a case about who may penetrate whom where. At a practical and symbolical level it is about the status, moral citizenship and sense of self-worth of a significant section of the community.” Justice Albie Sachs, National Coalition for Gay and Lesbian Equality and Another v Minister of Justice and Others 1999 (1) SA 6, para. 107 More than 70 years after th

Microbial decomposers breakdown soil organic matter, releasing carbon dioxide (CO2) to the atmosphere. This release of CO2 could therefore contribute to future climate change. However, microbial decomposers might also be affected by climate change, as for example the intensity and frequency of drought and rainfall events are expected to increase, resulting in more drying-rewetting (D/RW) events in

This thesis aims to contribute to the theological discussion of how a critical and constructive pneumatology could be seen in the context of the Church of Sweden today. To achieve this purpose, I analyze a Lutheran view of the Holy Spirit in the confession of the Church of Sweden and a feminist criticism. The questions asked are: How does a Lutheran view of the Holy Spirit look according to the co
