In this master thesis the use of dependency analyses within the private sector was evaluated through a case study of a privately held company. Today’s methods for dependency analysis are primarily meant to be used on a societal level and the aim of this thesis was to further the use of this kind of analysis. The use of a societal method within the private sector required the method to be modified

This paper is about creating identity based on music making as a leisure activity. The questions asked are about how cultural practicing at leisure contributes to the creation of identity, how the roles and self-image is affected by the exercise, if everyone has the dream of making a living on their music still and if one can learn anything beyond the expected by his/hers leisure activity. The pap
The aim of this study is to find out how much more risky the stock market of Bangladesh is compared to the other South Asian Association of Regional cooperation (SAARC) countries and investigate the role of it in this region from risk perspective. Bangladesh is one of the potential markets for investment among the eight countries of SAARC. It is therefore high time to study market risk associated
I och med vår världs globalisering har konkurrensen mellan platser om resurser, företagsamhet, investeringar, besökare och invånare ökat. Till följd av detta är det idag viktigt att differentiera sig genom att engagera sig i platsutveckling genom uppbyggnaden av platsens varumärke. Eftersom platser dock är komplexa och omfattar många olika aktörer och människor finns det en problematik i att bygga
Data from NASA's Kepler space telescope, which searches for exoplanets via the transit method, produced 1108 new planetary candidates in 2013 with a total of 91% being smaller than Neptune in size. These were mostly super-Earths, terrestial planets between Earth and Neptune in size, with orbits around 10 days. In order for any theory of planet formation to be valid it must be able to account
Historikerna Kjell Östberg & Jenny Andersson beskriver i encyklopedin Sveriges Historia från 2013 hur 1990-talet är en period som kanske framförallt kännetecknas av ett systemskifte inom välfärden och samhället i stort. Under samma tidsperiod utarbetas Lagen om Särskild Service för vissa funktionshindrade vilket är en lag som både präglats av samtidens ideologiska tendenser och internationella

The thesis investigates the possibility of predicting future economic activity using the yield spread of a UK Treasury bond and bill, and a inflation variable. To investigate this matter, this paper uses the theoretical framework of the relationship between the term structure and economic growth. It is found that the chosen yield spread on its on holds some significance in forecasting future quart
Virussjukdomen hiv angriper och bryter ner vissa av kroppens munförsvarsceller och än så länge finns det inget botemedel. Bristande erfarenhet, kunskap och rädsla för sjukdomen hos omvårdnadspersonal och studenter ökar risken för stigmatisering och dåligt bemötande av patientgruppen inom vården. Syftet med studien är att belysa erfarenheter, med fokus på attityder, vid omvårdnadsarbetet med person
This thesis investigates numerically the out of equilibrium properties of quantum rings with magnetic impurities, using the periodic Anderson model (PAM). The model is a simple template for the discussion of the physics of regular arrays of rare-earth impurities in metallic hosts. The system considered is a quantum ring consisting of up to six sites, each of whom are connected to an Anderson impur
The impact of socioeconomic factors on adult and under-five mortality is a subject which has been widely discussed. However, one cannot say the same when it comes to the impact of religion on mortality, and in fact, most of the existing literature has focused on the impact of religious participation on disease-specific mortality among adults. The purpose of this paper was to examine the impact of
Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to examine and understand the underlying reasons behind the existing funding gap between social enterprises and impact investors. We aim to do this mainly from the point of view of the social entrepreneurs by studying their actions and attitudes towards impact investment and how they relate to the demands set by impact investors. Furthermore, we want to bette
Free movement of labour and open borders are one of the main principles of the European Union. Workers can relatively easy relocate in the search for new job opportunities and firms compete internationally for productive labour. Corporate taxes affect firms’ profits, and also their investment decisions. The costs associated with employment on the other hand have not been studied to the same extent
This paper investigates the barriers that immigrant woman entrepreneurs (IWEs) face in starting their firms, and the strategies they use to overcome them. The study interviewed seven IWEs in Skåne, Sweden to gain a deeper understanding of their experiences. The study uses a theoretical framework that focuses on gender, family, culture, social and human capital and the institutional barriers as the
Today many households in Sweden use small on-site sewage facilities to take care of their own wastewater which is then treated and released into the environment. The sewage sludge that remains contain many nutrients, like phosphorous and nitrogen, which could potentially be reused as fertilizers. The sludge is usually contaminated with pathogens and unwanted or even toxic substances and if not tre
This study investigates the current status of the Scanian regional environmental objectives in relation to Swedish forestry. The aim of the study was to decide on high impact measures that will contribute to the fulfilment of five out of these 16 objectives; Reduced Climate Impact, Natural Acidification Only, Zero Eutrophication, Sustainable Forests and A Rich Diversity of Plants and Animals.
