De neoproterozoiska sedimentära bergarterna i Visingsögruppen är en av få kvarvarande spår från den här tidsperioden i Sverige. Tack vare dessa har vi en möjlighet att förstå hur landskapet såg ut under denna tiden. De olika miljöfaktorer som påverkade sedimenten när dessa deponerades är nyckeln till att kunna måla en större bil. Det vi ser i Visingsö-gruppen är hur en lokal, förhållandevis grund,The Neoproterozoic sedimentary rocks of the Visingsö Group are one of few remaining rocks from this time. They provide a vital clue to understanding how the landscape looked at this time. The various environmental factors that prevailed and affected deposition are key to paint a bigger picture. The Visingsö Group shows how a local, fairly shallow, environment is subject to a long-term transgressio

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka om utdelningars utbetalningsgrad, vinstvolatilitet, storlek och hävstång har någon inverkan på aktiebolagets volatilitet. Vidare syftar denna uppsats till att undersöka huruvida dessa samband är tillämpliga på både Large Cap-företag och företag som listas på Mid och Small Cap. Teorierna bygger på rådande teorier i området, bland annat Bird in the hand hypThe purpose of this thesis is to investigate whether Payout ratio, Earnings volatility, Size, and Leverage have any effect on the volatility of the stock.

Departing from the question of how linguistic representations of sexual crime are connected to social practices around sexuality, this discourse analysis looks into 30 news articles on sexual crime to identify discourses around male and female sexuality. As most sexual crimes are committed by men and against women, the analysis focuses on connecting discursive descriptions of men and women in rela

Migrants do not only affect the societies in which they arrive. When people leave in large numbers, their absence will also have indirect consequences for the societies from which they left. Between 1860 and 1930, 1.4 million Swedes emigrated abroad, most of them settling in the United States. In this essay I look at how this historic migration episode, in which a quarter of the population left th

Few studies on sickness absence, theoretical as well as empirical, in the field of economics specifically focus on the impact of chronic illness. The purpose of the present study is to fill this theoretical gap by providing a theoretical explanation of sickness absence after the onset of a specific chronic illness, namely type 1 diabetes, but also to empirically examine if sickness absence differs

Problempresentation: Elpriset ändras varje dag på den nordiska elbörsen, Nord Pool. Dessa förändringar är nära relaterade med den mängd vatten som rinner in till vattenkraftverken, kallad tillrinningsenergi, eftersom vattenkraft är den sorts elektricitet som i första hand används. Genom att i förväg veta den totala veckotillrinningsenergin kan de som handlar med elektricitet förutspå mindre föränd

In the field of second language acquisition (SLA) it is an important question, which role the native language assumes in the acquisition of another language. Studies have shown that there exists a native language influence on a phonological and lexical level. The situation in syntax is however different. Here a native language influence (transfer) is not self-evident.

The purpose of this thesis is to estimate the costs associated with hand injuries inflicted by log splitters and circular saws, and by doing this also estimate a value of prevention.

A consecutive data material comprising 57 patients was obtained from the Department of Hand Surgery at Malmö University Hospital (

"The aim of this thesis is to study the implied volatility on certain warrants on the Nordic Derivatives Exchange and compare it to an EGARCH-forecasted volatility (which throughout the thesis is used as proxy for the true volatility by the authors) in order to see if the difference follows a specific pattern." The difference between the forecasted volatility and the implied volatility f

The use of a label for locally produced products is seen as a good way of promoting these products in Söderslätt and, thereby, promoting regional development. The only common meaning of the concept ?local? is the reference to a geographical area, even though the size of the area differs. Local products are associated with characteristics such as environment, ethics, health, quality and support of

I was searching for the meaning connected to cultural issues and perspectives in a multicultural church, so I questioned 8 church-leaders coming from two churches in Malmö and one in Stockholm. They wrote an answer to an open tailed question. I summarized the text they gave me and let the same leaders and totally fourteen members from the two churches in Malmö react on two of the texts. Finally th

The purpose of this research was to examine how non-mandatory municipal environmental work is carried out. What drives certain municipalities to be more active than others, and what works as barriers? It was also of interest to understand if the mandatory work could influence, trigger or hinder other environmental goals and ideas. Further, the research looked to identify some characteristics that

The industrial development has during the last century caused a disturbance to the ecological system in the ecosphere, and many industrial processes are still systematically causing harm. In an increasing manner this is raising a demand for technology that reduce the burdens on the ecological system. The innovation of technology that responds to these demands is important, not just for human well
