This paper investigates the feasibility of OCA for ASEAN after the implementation of ASEAN Economic Community Blueprint in 2008. Dynamic Conditional Correlation (DCC) model with and without a structural break are used to identify whether the policy implemented facilitates the region to move closer to a single currency area. Industrial production index growth rate and change in short-term interest

Det relativt sparsamma utbudet av ordoviciska blottningar i Fågelsångsdalen, Skåne, krävde en borrkärna för att lära mer om lagerföljden. Borrkärnan har, under arbetet med denna rapport, studerats och dokumenterats litologiskt, litostratigrafiskt och till viss grad paleontologiskt. Fågelsångskärnan-2 består av mörka skiffrar avsatta i relativt djup marin miljö med rikt innehåll av bland annat grapOrdovician strata are well represented in the Fågelsång valley in south-central Scania (Skåne), southern Sweden, but exposures of such deposits are relatively few and most of the present outcrops are small. In order to study a stratigraphically more complete succession from the area, a core drilling, here referred to as Fågelsång-2, was conducted in 2013. The drilling was stopped at a depth of 64,

Bakgrund: Det första intraoperativa mötet är oftast kort och det är viktigt att anestesisjuksköterskan får en god kontakt med patienten. Organisatoriska aspekter kan påverka mötet genom ett pressat tidschema. Tidigare forskning kring oro är ur ett patientperspektiv. Därför är det av vikt att belysa anestesisjuksköterskans upplevelser. Syfte: Syftet var att belysa anestesisjuksköterskors upplevel

This thesis examines social change and the collective trauma for women in Ukraine after the collapse of the Soviet Union by investigating general subjective wellbeing at the intersection of gender, generation and ethnicity. It argues that women had a special position during and after the Soviet regime due to the existing familialistic discourses both in the Soviet Union and independent Ukraine, an

The purpose of this thesis is to explore the possibility of asymmetry in the dynamic conditional correlation of stock returns and gold returns. We hypothesize that this asymmetry might be different for large and small firms, as a result of size specific characteristics that may influence firm profitability and risk following negative market shocks. We investigate this on three different sized U.S.

På grund av det kommunala självstyret och kommunens beskattningsrätt, argumenteras det för att kommuner sinsemellan har blivit platsbundna konkurrenter om icke platsbundna hushåll och företag. Trots den konkurrenssituationen finns det flera exempel som visar på att kommuner samverkar för att skapa attraktivitet och utveckling i sin delregion, vilket inte minst märks i de svenska storstadsregionern

The importance of reading : a Master’s Thesis about literacy and librarians’ motivational reading strategies towards children and teenagers. The public literacy debate has exploded all over Swedish media since PISA published their report at the end of 2013 with the result that politicians, teachers and parents suddenly have shown a lot more interest in what and how young people read. The report h

Bisphenol A (BPA) is an endocrine disruptor which is very present in our surrounding environment. As a component mainly used in plastics and in the inner linings in cans, BPA can also be found in our bodies due to migration into food. Once the substance is reaching the components of the body it is biotransformed into a more water soluble molecule called monoglucoronide. Whether to measure the unco

This thesis gives an introduction to the basic formalism of one-dimensional supersymmetric quantum mechanics. The factorization of a Hamiltonian is used to create a supersymmetric partner Hamiltonian. The connections between the energy spectra and wave functions of these partner Hamiltonians are deduced and examined for the case of broken and unbroken supersymmetry. An extension to hierarchies of

Over the past few years, there has been considerable academic interest in studying the relationship between China and Africa. This study aims to describe what effect Chinese outbound foreign direct (OFDI) investments and private companies have had on employment opportunities and industrialization in Ethiopia. The research question reads: What effect has Chinese outbound foreign direct investments

I Sverige råder sedan en tid tillbaka en debatt kring huruvida ett könsneutralt ord bör användas för att undvika benämning av kön i diverse sammanhang. Syftet med denna undersökning var att utvärdera hur ordet hen bedöms i rekryteringssammanhang, i jämförelse med den sökande. Studien genomfördes med en kvantitativ undersökning i form av en experimentell design. 160 deltagare fick läsa en av två joThere is currently an ongoing debate in Sweden whether a gender neutral pronoun should be used to avoid specific gender associations. The purpose of this thesis has been to evaluate if the gender neutral pronoun hen in comparison with the applicant in a recruitment process can be considered as more gender neutral. The study was conducted using an explorative quantitative method. 160 participants r

Vertical agreements cover a wide range of supply and distribution agreements such as exclusive and selective distribution, franchising and agency agreements. Business practice is filled with vertical agreements, and sooner or later any practicing lawyer with a client doing business in or with the EU is likely to be asked to advise on the admissibility of certain restrictions of competition which a

Problemformulering: Det finns mycket belägg för hur viktig frontpersonalen är för ett företag men få företag verkar inse vikten av att investera i personalen och öka deras förutsättningar för att uppnå arbetstillfredsställelse. Då de arbetsuppgifter som yrkesrollen medför ofta kräver att frontpersonalen åsidosätter sig själva till förmån för kundens suveränitet och företagets framgång utsätts de f

This examination paper will examine the reporting of the Husby riot during May of 2013 in four different Swedish national newspapers. I have taken a qualitative approach to analyse 40 newspaper articles that were written during the course of the riot. I chose to analyse articles that were written during the riot because I wanted to find out how the newspapers wrote about the riot and the people wh

Denna studie undersökte samband mellan personlighet och arbetsprestation för ingenjörer i specialistroller på ett medelstort företag inom den tillverkande industrin i Sverige. 31 personer besvarade personlighetsformuläret OPQ och bedömning av deras arbetsprestation gjordes av HR-ansvarig inom företaget. Hypotesen att strukturdimensionerna inom OPQ32 skulle korrelera positivt med arbetsprestation fThis study investigated correlations between personality and work performance for engineers in specialist roles in a medium large company within the manufacturing industry in Sweden. 31 engineers filled in the occupational preference questionnaire OPQ32 and ratings of their work performance was carried out by an HR supervisor at the company. The hypothesis that the structural dimensions of OPQ32 w

Denna uppsats grundar sig på en översättning av ett urval ur romanen El padre de Blancanieves (2007), skriven av den spanska författaren Belén Gopegui. Uppsatsen undersöker vilka förutsättningarna är för att översätta olika drag som gör att källtexten kan klassas som poetisk prosa. Först i uppsatsen görs en analys av källtexten följt av en del där strategier inför översättningen diskuteras. Detta

The Swedish educational system has during the last few decades gone through a process of liberalization and privatization. The political reforms and processes shaping the state of the Swedish school today have to a large extent changed the shape of the Swedish welfare state in general and the overall view on education in particular. This paper attempts to locate and dissect ambitions of equality a

The purpose of this thesis is to identify barriers to innovation faced by firms delivering healthcare services and to analyse their effects on healthcare service firms' innovation process. This thesis therefore aims to close a gap in literature. Insights gained can help policy-makers understand how their actions impede innovation in the healthcare industry and how they can remove or reduce spe
