Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka vad som avgör hur tillväxtföretag värderas. Det inkluderar att jämföra om dessa företag värderas på samma sätt i teorin som i praktiken och undersöka vilka bakomliggande faktorer som spelar in. Den teoretiska referensramen inkluderar teori om värderingsmodellerna realoptioner, diskonterat kassaflöde och multipelvärdering. Den inkluderar även teorier om de bako

Hirham5, a weather model developed at DMI, does not have a very good approximation for the snow albedo. To make the model better a snow albedo code, based on Dickenssen’s equation for snow albedo, was implemented in the model where the albedo depended on more variables than just the temperature. This change is important since the radiation contributes more to the melt than the temperature. The sur

This study is based on discourse analysis establishing the discursive setting of four Swedish NGO participants of the EU Civil Society Platform against Trafficking in Human Beings, the Swedish Police and the EU Platform itself. By analysing the discursive setting through a social constructivist social theory I discuss what impact discourses have on the normative portrayal of the trafficking phenom

High energy particle collisions involve complex physics, beyond analytical control. Instead, Monte Carlo event generators like Pythia have been used to simulate particle collisions since decades. A study of the production of heavy quarks (namely, charm and bottom) is presented for two different scenarios: lepton (e+e−) and hadron (pp) collisions. Electron- positron collisions at the Z0 resonance a

There are many old buildings in Sweden today that in many aspects are worth saving for the future. Much focus is also on how to reduce the energy use in buildings. This theoretical study tries to give an example on that it is possible to combine these two parameters without risking the physical wellbeing or the aesthetic value of the building. The house in this report is situated in Vä, a communit

Syftet med denna uppsats är att öka förståelsen om konsumenters förtroende för en tjänsteverksamhet till följd av en omreglering. För att kunna besvara detta syfte kommer följande två frågeställningar besvaras; > Vad påverkar konsumenters förtroende för en apoteksverksamhet? > Och hur uttrycks detta hos konsumenter? Metod: Uppsatsen tillämpar en genomgående kvalitativ ansats där en abduktiv m

Följande uppsats är skriven på uppdrag av Länsstyrelsen i Gotlands län med syfte att tillämpa GIS för att identifiera lämpliga områden för kontrollerad naturvårdsbränning. Skogsbränder, både naturliga och antropogena, har historiskt varit en frekvent närvarande störningsregim i den svenska skogen. Branden har bidragit till att skapa stora delar av de strukturer och den biologiska mångfald som finnThis study was conducted on behalf of the county administrative board of Gotland, with the aim of using Geographical Information systems to identify protected forest areas where controlled fires would be suitable to incorporate in management plans. Forest fire, being both a natural and cultural phenomenon has historically been a frequently recurrent disturbance regime in the boreal and boreonemora

Image quality is in essence based on subjective experience, and the involvement of human subjects is therefore necessary in one way or the other in order to make reliable assessments of it. This topic is of interest for Axis Communications AB -- the market leader in surveillance cameras. In this thesis, the softcopy quality ruler method described in ISO 20462 is evaluated through a study of one s

Popular science summary: Bolder the brighter – personality affects learning performance in crucian carp Just as humans, many animals have a personality. For example some individuals are more prone to take risks – they are bold, while others prefer to play it safe – being shy. Bold animals increase their risk of being attacked by a predator but may also receive higher gains by being first to a foAbstract Gathering information about the environment is crucial to living organisms as it makes up the foundation upon which decisions are made. In a diverse environment a huge amount of information sources arise. An individual can choose to follow other’s decision (social information use) or to gather its’ own information. Which sources are used and how well they are perceived vary between indi

Forecasting foreign exchange rates and financial asset prices in general is a hard task. The best model has often been shown to be a simple random walk, which implies that the price movements are unpredictable. In this thesis models that have been somewhat successful in the past are developed and investigated for different forecasting horizons. The aim is to find models that significantly dominate

Transitional economies tend to see trade liberalization and capital reforms hand in hand. The main goal or aim for lawmakers is to maximize welfare effects when bringing trade and capital reforms within an economy. A nation gets greater access to international financial markets, which in turn attracts inflow of investments within economy. This newfound inflow of investments can also be attributed

One of the topics that has generated discussions and focuses on demographic theory is undoubtedly the treatment of fertility rates, another important number of studies have incorporated different methods for measuring behaviors in count data, such as Poisson models, also used in the present document. On the other hand, by using panel data, we estimate a random effects model and evaluate the dete

The paper examines the extent to which role-based access control is used within organizations to control and assign access rights to users. Furthermore, this paper investigates whether organizations are aware of security risks that arise when users are assigned too many or incorrect access rights and the steps they take to reduce the problem. The survey was conducted through the collection of qual

This paper discusses what the transfer of white trash from the US to Sweden means; how did it happen, why did it happen and what are the swedish interpretation of the concept? The concept of white trash include both pride and dirt; it frames an anomaly composed of bad taste and a dangerous body. But it is also a subject of creating identities and making fun. The journey to Sweden should be seen in

Whether a law implementation can be said to have had an social impact is largely dependent on if the law in question effected the minds of the people it was tasked to govern. Previous research of successful implementation of laws identify the importance of certain conditions to be present if a law is to be termed “successful”. A law implementation that has been recognized as having had a marked ef

This paper investigates the characteristics and history of value added taxes. Many previous studies have focused on the theoretical implications of value added taxes; this paper differs in the method used as well as the phrasing of research question. This paper seeks out to answer whether a redesign of the current Value Added Tax system in Sweden could be a Pareto improvement. It looks at relevant
