It has been previously shown that an increase in the relative value of tea increases female survival rate by enhancing their economic value. By combining contemporary district-level census data with historical data on tea production, in this paper I examine whether contemporary regional variations in gender disparities across India can be traced back to the tea production induced by the British Ea

Syftet med uppsatsen är att ta reda på hur olika fundamentala bestämningsfaktorer har påverkat den svenska kronkursen under perioden Q1 1996 till Q4 2015. Modeller som strävar efter att bestämma växelkursens förklaringsfaktorer har genom historien ofta haft missvisande resultat. En anledning till detta är att data på variablerna ofta är av icke-stationär typ och vanliga OLS-regressioner som genomf

Portfolio choice theory have in the last decades seen a rise in utilising more advanced utility functions for finding optimal portfolios. This is partly a consequence of the relatively simplistic nature of the quadratic utility, which is often assumed in the classical mean-variance framework. There have been some suggestions on how to find optimal portfolios in ac- cordance to more realistic utili

När vi tittar upp mot natthimlen för att utforska stjärnorna i rymden, så är stjärnspektroskopi ett av de främsta medlen. Med hjälp av den metoden kan vi komma fram till vilka kemiska element en stjärna består av, och eftersom en stjärnas sammansättning i stort sett inte förändras över tiden, därmed få en bild av vilka kemiska element stjärnan bestod av när den föddes. Naturvetenskapliga teorier hA major avenue in the study of the Galaxy is the investigation of stellar populations and Galactic chemical evolution by stellar spectroscopy. Due to the dust obscuration in the line-of-sight, stars in the plane and toward the centre of the Galaxy can only be observed in the near-IR wavelength region. Important questions can thus be addressed by observing stars in the near-IR, a field that is in r

Denna uppsats har som sitt primära syfte att undersöka om det i praktiken finns ett samband mellan kunskap om olika prefix och allmän ordkunskap. I andrahand syftar uppsatsen till att ta reda på vilka skillnader det finns i prefixkunskap och ordkunskapsförståelse mellan förstaspråksanvändare och andraspråksanvändare. För att göra detta har elever på gymnasiet, som läser någon av svenskkurserna SVE

This thesis aims to investigate the impact of domestic- and foreign monetary policy on stock returns of Swedish firms, currently listed at the Nasdaq Large Cap. Daily stock returns are regressed against FOMC- and Riksbank policy changes respectively on the day of their announcements, using a fixed effects model. Control variables and time dummies are included in the model to account for changing c

Efterfrågan på nybyggnation och behovet av infrastruktursatsningar är en ständig och stor uppgift som kommuner och andra myndigheter arbetar med. Stora krav ställs på att samhällsplaneringen ska ske utifrån ett långsiktigt hållbart perspektiv. Att intensiva och omfattande regn har blivit allt vanligare på senare tid resulterar i att samhällsplaneringen måste anpassas därefter, och flödesanalyser oThe government and municipalities of Sweden are responsible for the huge task of meeting the need of constructional and infrastructural investments. While planning and managing the land they are required to do so with long term perspectives. As intense and voluminous downpours have become common lately, the city planning and land management have to be adapted to this, which leads to flow analyses

This Master's thesis work was carried out at Lund University’s Faculty of Engineering in conjunction with Sydvatten AB, Southern Sweden's drinking water provider and their research division Sweden Water Research. The purpose of the study was to gain an understanding of the runoff response in the Kävlinge River Basin and study the increased runoff that is expected to occur due to climate ch

The aim of this study was to examine how unaccompanied asylum seeking children perceived their time within the social service system in Sweden, and in what way this time period in their life has affected them today.

Psykisk ohälsa ökar i dagens samhälle och användandet av digitala medier likaså. Få studier har gjorts på hur organisationer kommunicerar kring psykisk ohälsa online. 1177.se, Sveriges samlingsplats på nätet för information och tjänster inom hälsa och vård, har skapat en temasida om psykisk hälsa med anledning att sprida kunskap och förändra attityder kring ämnet.

With behavioural and electrophysiological data from 24 participants, the goal of the present study was to advance the understanding of memory interference and how it is resolved by cognitive control of memory. Previous work has shown that a retrieval cue can be processed in a goal-directed manner and that beforehand knowing what to expect further can facilitate the processing and thereby reduce in
