Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to analyse how oil price shocks affect the economic growth in net-oil exporting countries. The aim is to conclude whether the economic growth in the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) is more sensitive to oil price shocks than the economic growth in other exporting countries. Method: The data used covers the years 1980 to 2008 and includes
En välmående demokratisk rättsstat är beroende av att allmänheten känner förtroende för rättsväsendet. I en domares uppdrag ingår således inte bara att döma rättvist och enligt gällande rätt utan även att verka för ett starkt förtroende från allmänheten som skall uppleva att den får en rättssäker prövning av våra domstolar. Domaren skall verka för detta genom att bl.a. uppträda professionellt, korA prosperous democratic legal state depends on the public’s confidence in the judiciary. Included in a judge’s duties is not only to judge fairly and in accordance with applicable law, but also to promote a strong confidence in the judiciary among the general public to fortify the common perception of the courts as fair and impartial. Judges shall act in accordance with these interests by conducti
PURPOSE. Business angels are often the first external source from which entrepreneurial ventures can secure financing. In addition to providing financial capital, business angels are known for their extensive value adding involvement in the portfolio ventures.

Could an even larger push for women empowerment be a viable development strategy for developing countries? A large literature relates the bargaining power of women to improved health and education of their children (Majlesi, 2015; Qian, 2008; Bobonis, 2009; Duflo, 2003; Lundberg, Pollak and Wales, 1997). However, it remains a challenge to find a good proxy for bargaining power that truly reflects
Amplicon Pipeline - Snabb och automatisk analys av mikroorganismer Vi är omgivna av mikroorganismer. Bakterier, svampar, parasiter, de omger oss och utgör en stor majoritet av allt levande i världen omkring oss. Vi har betydligt fler bakterier i oss än mänskliga celler, och de har stor betydelse för vårt välmående. Men vi behöver rätt verktyg för att kunna studera dem. Mikroorganismer är en bråkRecent advances in the sequencing technology have led to an increasing pressure on the computer programs used for analysing the sequence data. The programs should be able to provide accurate analysis in a reasonable time span. 16S and 18S rRNA analysis is performed by using PCR to amplify the genes from microorganisms present in a sample followed by sequencing of the amplicons. The result is files
In this thesis a mechanical concept for variable relative rotation, here called timing, between two cutting rollers has been designed. This concept has then been compared to a concept using one servo motor per shaft. The clients would like to use rotary cutters to cut cardboard, but have had problems with the anvil wearing out on similar solutions. Therefore a solution where the timing between the
The future begins at school – municipal differences regarding education for under-aged EU migrants. The number of exposed EU-migrants in Sweden is growing, and so is the number of under-aged EU-migrants who are travelling with their parents. Many of these belong to the Roma minority in countries such as Bulgaria and Romania. The aim of this study is to examine municipal differences in offering ed
Body size is one of the most important traits of zooplankton. It affects their metabolism, life history and ecology and can eventually influence community and ecosystem processes. Higher and more fluctuating temperatures due to climate change are expected to have an influence on zooplankton size. Based on general empirical evidence, warmer temperatures may lead to smaller zooplankton, while temper
Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka huruvida mentorskap har möjlighet att innebära ökad medvetenhet om exkludering baserat på etnicitet samt ifall mentorskap har möjlighet att påverka denna exkludering. Studien visar att mentorskap har möjlighet att erbjuda kunskap och förståelse för mentorerna även inom arbetet för att bryta exkludering trots komplexiteten vilket innebär att mentorskap är ett v
Metod: Uppsatsen har en kvalitativ ansats och abduktivt tillvägagångssätt. Studien är en flerfallsstudie av 14 fall som undersökts genom semistrukturerade intervjuer.The thesis has resulted in a contribution to the agency theory regarding what motivates agents to act in line with principal's interests. Our study shows that the agents in the study, the directors, manage assignments optimally if they are also driven by interest and self- fulfillment. The thesis has also resulted in a framework of recommendations and coping strategies that guide the owners an
On the 30th-31st of January 2015 a cultural event took place at the concert and congress house of Uppsala in mid-Sweden; Uppsala Konsert & Kongress. The event was called "Irländskt!" (i.e. "Irish!") and consisted of concerts, workshops and sessions. This is a sociological study of the Irish traditional sessions at this event. The participants were studied as part of a commu
Sammanfattning Denna uppsats undersöker sambandet mellan polisens utredningsåtgärder och personuppklaring och lagföring vid hedersrelaterad brottslighet. Det övergripande syftet är att redogöra för vilken betydelse rätt kunskap, förstahandsåtgärder och utredningsmetodik spelar för den fortsatta lagföringen. Jag vill också undersöka om den kunskapssatsning som gjorts av regeringen och rikspolisstyrThis thesis investigates the connection between police investigative measures, solved crimes and prosecution concerning honour related crime. The overall aim is to account for what significance correct knowledge, first measures taken and methods used during the investigation have for the following prosecution. I also wish to investigate whether the augmentation of knowledge initiated by the govern
The region of Scania, Sweden has set the goal to become “Europe’s most innovative region” by 2020 and has realized the importance of promoting and supporting entrepreneurship at the different stages of the entrepreneurial process to achieve this goal. This thesis investigates the structure of the entrepreneurship support in the region, with the aim to discover whether a system of entrepreneurship
Företagsorganisationer tvingas till förändringar på grund av olika drivkrafter medan medarbetarna ofta tar ställning mot förändringar. Förändringar där företaget lägger större delen av sitt fokus på att tillfredsställa de externa utmaningarna. Dessa förändringar kan öka belastningen på de anställda (internt), som leder till försämrade relationer mellan ledningen och de anställda. Medarbetare upple
Abstract Introduction: Understanding customer satisfaction is a central objective of organiza- tions.

Relating to the literature, the customer satisfaction of interna- tional students has become increasingly important for higher educational institutions in recent years due to globalization
Norra Djurgårdsstaden är ett stadsutvecklingsområde i nordöstra Stockholm och har delvis marksanerats ned till grundvattennivån. De föroreningar som förekommit är polycykliska aromater, cyanider, tungmetaller och BTEX. 2003 inleddes en omfattande markundersökning varpå man hittade höga halter bensen i ett av grundvattenrören. Undersökningen följdes upp med ett in-situ försök att avlägsna föroreninNorra Djurgårdsstaden is an urban area in northeastern Stockholm and has been soil remediated down to the water table. The contamination in the area includes polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), cyanide, heavy metals and BTEX. In 2003 an extensive environmental assessment initiated after which they found high levels of benzene in one of the groundwater monitoring wells. The benzene contaminatio
As Basel III is being implemented a new regulation framework for capital requirement is being developed called the Fundamental Review of the Trading Book. The major change is the change of risk measure, going from Value at Risk to Expected Shortfall. The effect of the new regulations for general interest rate risk (GIRR) is investigated both on a total capital requirement level and decomposed onto
