The Interaction between Interest Rates and Stock Returns:A Comparison between China and US

The relationship between monetary policy and stock market has been discussed since 1970s, but it is still one of the hot topics due to the changing market condition over time among different countries and the development of empirical methodologies. Owing to the fact that the stock market of China has involved in the fast-growing of Chinese economy, identifying the relationship between interest rat

Characterization of Higher Order Modes in the MAX IV Active 100 MHz Cavities

In circular accelerators, and in storage rings in particular, charged particles are kept in a closed orbit for a very long time by means of a magnet lattice. When the particle beam is bent by the magnetic field it emits light, which decreases the particle beam energy by an amount equal to the radiated energy. Over many bends in the magnets and many turns in the machine, these relatively small ener

Fouling and Cleaning During Treatment of Thermomechanical Pulp Mill Process Water

Membranprocesser kan användas för att isolera värdefulla substanser i processvatten i massabruk vilket minskar brukets miljöpåverkan, och ökar dess intäkter. Men membran smutsas ned. Det är därför viktigt att effektiva rengöringsmetoder utvecklas. I examensarbetet har möjligheten att isolera värdefulla substanser i processvatten från ett termomekaniskt massabruk undersökts. Om det vore möjligt atOne of many possible applications for membranes in industries is to separate valuable products from wastewater. However, usage of membranes inevitably leads to fouling. Fouling means that the treated solution affects the membrane and causes a permanent decrease of the permeate flux. That means that the membrane requires cleaning so that the flux can be restored and the full potential of the membra

By-products from production of Formaldehyde for Haldor Topsoe

Formaldehyde is an important chemical which is used as an intermediate and for the production of urea-formaldehyde, which is used in the production of plywood. The purpose of this report is to investigate to how impurities in methanol, that is the raw material in formaldehyde production, will affect the production. This report have mainly looked at how the impurities affect the by-products. This p

Combined production of bioethanol and biogas from wheat straw

Kombinerad bioetanol- och biogas-produktion från vetehalm. Genom ökad torrhalt vid fermentering, samt biogasproduktion från restprodukter, kan lönsamheten för biobränslen att öka. Ökande miljöproblem gällande växthusgaser är ständigt i fokus. År 2007 gav det europeiska parlamentet nya direktiv gällande energipolitiken, där målen var att växthusgaserna i Europa ska reduceras med 20% och att minst 1Currently the production cost of lignocellulosic ethanol is considered to be relatively high. Large fractions of the production cost come from the raw material and the energy consumed in the distillation. Therefore it is desirable to have a process that yields high concentration of ethanol and maximizes the utilization of the biomass. Wheat straw is a promising raw material for lignocellulosic eth

Automatic creation of schematic maps : a case study of the railway network at the Swedish Transport Administration

Idag vill man effektivisera användningen av geografiska informationssystem (GIS), vilket uppmuntrar järnvägsförvaltningarna att centralisera sina data. Därför hämtar de både geografiska och schematiska framställningar från samma databas. Men, en svårighet som möter Trafikverket är att olika representationer (geografiska och schematiska) måste uppdateras separat, vilket innebär större kostnader ochToday, efficient use of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) encourages the railways administrations to centralize their data. Therefore, they extract both geographical and schematic representations from the same database. But, one difficulty which is encountered by the Swedish Transport Administration (Trafikverket), is that different representations (geographical and schematic) have to be upda

Mellanskarven (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis) i Krankesjön - Analys av långtidserier av skarvförekomster och fisksamhällets utveckling i kombination med bytesval

Mellanskarven - oskyldigt dömd? För att dömas skyldig i Sverige ska det vara bortom rimligt tvivel att den tilltalande gjort sig skyldig till brottet. Mellanskarven (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis) har på många håll runt om i Europa påståtts ligga bakom förändringar i fisksamhällen och ett försämrat fiske. I Krankesjön förefaller det saknas brottsoffer. Mellanskarven är en fågel som har ökat i anThis study analyzed highly detailed long-term information about occurrence of cormorants (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis) and the fish community composition in lake Krankesjön, southern Sweden. Moreover, cormorant predation with regards to species and size preference were estimated using data from recovered PIT (Passive Integrated Transponders) tags. The results shows that the cormorant population h

Den svenska sjuksköterskan - en studie om work-family conflict och andra påverkande faktorer till utbrändhet

Sedan slutet av 1990-talet har den arbetsrelaterade psykiska ohälsan ökat i Sverige och yrkesgruppen sjuksköterskor har drabbats hårt av detta, exempelvis genom utbrändhet. Studiens syfte var att undersöka hur väl work-family conflict (WFC) predicerade utbrändhet hos svenska sjuksköterskor, om fysisk aktivitet och skiftarbete var modererande variabler, samt om ålder och civilstånd hade någon påverSince the end of the 1990’s the work-related psychological illness has increased in Sweden and the occupational group nurses has been greatly affected by this, for example by burnout. The purpose of this study was to examine how well work-family conflict (WFC) predicted burnout among Swedish nurses, if physical activity and shiftwork were moderating variables, and if age and marital status had any

Exposure to FX Rate Risk - A Qualitative Analysis of German Fair Trade Importers

The ongoing high volatility of the Euro exchange rate strongly affects Fair Trade companies that import products mostly from developing co

Spatially varying parameters in observed new particle formation events

Det globala klimatet påverkas av strålningsbalansen i atmosfären. Strålningsbalansen påverkas av ett antal faktorer och bland annat aerosolpartiklar. Hur stor påverkan aerosolpartiklarna har är osäkert och det är något som det forskas mycket om i nuläget. Partiklarna som finns i atmosfären har många olika källor, de kommer från bland annat industriell verksamhet, trafiken, vulkanutbrott men också Aerosol particles affect the global climate due to its influence on the scattering and absorption of short-wave and long-wave radiation. The extent of the influence of aerosol particles on the climate varies a lot by time and space, and needs to be quantified. One of the most important natural sources of atmospheric particles is new particle formation (NPF). However, the contribution of NPF events

Områdesfaktorers inverkan på hyresutvecklingen för kommersiella lokaler

Hyran för kommersiella lokaler regleras utifrån principen om marknadshyra, vilken sätts av ingående kontrakt mellan hyresvärd och hyresgäst. Hyresavtalen beror vanligtvis på lokalens fastighetsanknutna attribut och medför givetvis att hyresnivåerna kommer att skilja sig åt mellan varje enskilt kontrakt. Förfarandet vid avtalsupprättande är välbeprövat och finns reglerat i Jordabalken (1979:994). SThe rents for commercial premises are regulated by the principle of market rent, which are set by contracts between landlords and tenants. The leases typically depends on the property related attributes and naturally means that rental levels will differ between each individual contract. However, according to the Swedish property indicator, the general rent levels of commercial stores and offices,
