The market for informal venture capital is almost invisible source of financing for entrepreneurial ventures, which can explain the difficulty of finding these investors.

Increasingly popular, distance education has been researched from many angles, but studies done from a cultural analytic perspective are rare. Most studies up to this point have focused on the pedagogical perspective. This thesis aims to investigate challenges faced by different stakeholders in distance education, including online course promoters, teachers, and students, from a cultural analytic

As the development of human civilizations, the classic definition of crowdedness index or population density is not able to describe population dynamic conciliations properly. Furthermore, the detailed population information is normally only stay on urban or country levels. Methods to compute crowdedness index of a small scale-area are lacked. Demographers need some new methods to compute human cr

Background: The high prevalence of unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections among young people in Sweden are the result of a trend towards increased sexual risk-taking behaviour. While a few qualitative studies suggest that some of these young people take sexual risks as an escape from loneliness, the associations between loneliness and sexual risk-taking behavior are still not w

Strukturellt unga och N-S-ligt strykande högmetamorfa metadiabaser förekommer i Östra segmentet längs västkusten från Varberg till Kullaberg, och i inlandet mot öster till den Svekonorvegiska fronten. Dessa basiska gångar skär ställvis gnejsiga strukturer i värdbergarterna. Några har välbevarade primärmagmatiska strukturer som exempelvis lagring och “cross-bedding”. Metadiabaserna består av högtryStructurally late and roughly N-S trending high-grade metamorphic dolerites occur in the Eastern Segment along the coast from Varberg to Kullaberg and inland (eastwards) to the Sveconorwegain Front. Locally these mafic dykes cross-cut the gneissic foliations of the host gneisses. Metadolerites have a high-pressure granulite facies metamorphic mineral assemblage and some of them have well-preserved

Jakten på fisken i Ringsjön Många vill veta var i sjön fisken finns när man ska fiska och nu finns det en teori som berättar hur fisken sprider ut sig i en sjö. Fiskar sprider ut sig så att områden med mer resurser har fler individer jämfört med delar med mindre resurser. Detta gör att det finns mer individer som konkurrerar om mat i resursrika områden medan i områden där det är svårare att hittaMovements occur among many different organisms and a suggested theory about the pattern of these movements is called the Ideal free distribution. It states that individuals in a complex area with different quality of the habitats will distribute themselves proportionally after resources in the different habitats, so that they can maximize their fitness. Lake Ringsjön is a complex lake, which consi

This study aimed to quantify and compare zooplankton feeding interactions in terms of diet composition, ingestion rate, and food size selectivity of a copepod (Acartia tonsa) and a cladoceran (Evadne nordmanni). This was achieved by surveying the grazing impact of A. tonsa and E. nordmanni on the natural phytoplankton, microzooplankton and microbial community occurring in autumn in coastal Skagera

This thesis studies the long-run performance of IPOs. In addition, it differentiates between family firms and non-family firms. The long-run performance is tested on listings on Nasdaq OMX Stockholm over a period from 1997 to 2011. The sample consists of 100 firms, whereas 39 firms are classified as family firms. To test the long-run IPO performance, buy-and-hold abnormal return over a three year

Sweden has been a "stand-alone" case since 1992 when the krona was set on a free float. The primary aim of this thesis is to compare the economic development of Sweden during 1985-2014 to the core EMU countries of Germany and France and the periphery countries of Italy and Spain. Eleven main economic indicators have been studied for each of the five countries which have been studied. The

In this thesis we show that the best forecast for near future yield curves are performed with a full specication of our chosen model and for far future yield curves the forecast is better with a partial specication of the model. We conclude that the driving factors for the banks' yield curves are not as closely related to Swedbank's as amongst the other peers which show that Swedbank stand
