Syfte: Studien syftar till att undersöka om blankning påverkar aktieavkastning på den svenska börsen. Metod: Data, hämtad från Thomson Reuters Datastream, Nasdaq OMX Nordic samt Finansinspektionen, har sammanställts i Microsoft Excel. Regressioner har sedan körts i EViews med den bearbetade datan. Datan testas som en multipel regressionsmodell med paneldata. Tre kontrollvariabler inkluderas. Te
Denna studie har som syfte att ur ett nätteknisk- såväl som affärsmässigt perspektiv undersöka hur tekniken Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) kan jämna ut effekttoppar och minska belastningen i högt belastade lokalnät. Detta genom att låta elbilens batteri fungera som ett energilager med tvåvägskommunikation mellan bil och hushåll. Projektet har utformats tillsammans med E.ON Elnät i Malmö och behandlar ett e
One of the most promising alternatives to reduce global CO2 emissions is the replacement of fossil fuels by biofuels in the transportation sector. Production of biofuels from energy crops or residues arises as an answer, but the technology is still costly to be implemented at commercial scale. This project proposes reducing bioethanol production costs by using animal bedding as feedstock. The main
Syftet med studien var att undersöka ledarpersonlighetsdrag och ledarskapsbeteende som efterfrågats hos chefer i 105 jobbannonser som ingått i studien. Fokus för jobbannonserna har varit tre på förhand valda sektorer och arbetstitlar, ekonomichef, försäljningschef och HR-/personalchef. Eftersom samhället ser annorlunda ut idag än vad det gjorde för bara några år sedan har dagens ledare fått en annThe aim of this study was to investigate leadership traits and leadership behavior that is asked for in 105 selected job ads for managerial positions. The focus of the job ads were three pre-selected sectors and job titles, finance manager, sales manager and HR / personnel manager. Because society is different today than it just to be a few years ago, today's leaders have a different role. The
Ambitionen med uppsatsen "När gamla tekniker blir konst – vinylskivan i den digitala tidsåldern" är att analysera dagens vinylentusiasters förhållningssätt till vinylskivor i en kvalitativ undersökning av en diskussionstråd på ett svenskt internetforum. Uppsatsen syftar till att ge en bild av hur man kan se på fenomenet att intressera sig för den föregångna tekniken vinylskivan i en digi
A simulation in bioprocess technology was carried out in order to evaluate the accessibility and adequacy of the simulation software SuperProDesigner used on an academic level. This was done by recreating an existing process and studying the results as well as observing the diculties and limitations along the way. The study in question was a biohydrogen production plant consisting of three parts.
Unsustainability is persistent despite growing awareness that the industrial way of life, its modes of production and consumption need to be transformed. In academic sustainability contexts, however, attention is rarely paid to how industrial societies basically operate and how our everyday life is implicated beyond the usual suspect: consumerism. I argue that it is work, as central social relatio
The modern mobile networks such as the Cloud Radio Network Access (C-RAN) are developing to deal with upcoming requirements in the current generation $4$\textsuperscript{th} Generation (4G) and the upcoming generation i.e. the $5$\textsuperscript{th} Generation (5G). One of the challenges in the modern communication systems is the required high data traffic specially at the fronthaul. Fronthaul in
In the scientific literature and in the media there is a growing concern about toxins in aircraft originating from the air conditioning system as a result from pyrolised jet engine and hydraulic oil, and more recently also de-icing fluid. Many crews have reported long-term neurological and respiratory health effects, but also acute impairment or even incapacitation while performing their flight du
It is said that coreference is difficult to explain, but easy to comprehend; everyoneknows coreference, they just don’t know that they do. We trained a computer toknow it too! Coreference resolution is the identification of phrases that refer to the same entity in a text. Current techniques to solve coreferences use machine-learning algorithms, which require large annotated data sets. Such annota
Studiens syfte är att genom kvalitativa intervjuer i kombination av relevant motivationsforskning och med ett fenomenologiskt angreppsätt förklara och analysera motivation och det idéburna ledarskapet. Empirin är baserad på fyra intervjuer med volontäransvariga inom olika idéburna organisationer. Studiens resultat visar att det finns ett antal faktorer som som är framträdande som motivationskapandThe purpose of this study is to explain and analyze motivation and leadership within non-profit organizations. The study has a qualitative approach, where the empiric is based on five semi-structured interviews, conducted and analyzed using a phenomenlogical approach. The theoretical perspective are based on established theories and research within motivation and the nonprofit sector.
The effect of water on α-, β-, and γ-cyclodextrins (CD) was investigated using sorption calorimetry, differential scanning calorimetry and dynamic vapor sorption in order to understand the phase behavior and to create phase diagrams. By relating earlier X-ray diffraction patterns of cyclodextrins equilibrated over saturated salt solutions and literature regarding the cyclodextrin hydrates to the s
What is the relationship between structures of power and the spaces we inhabit? I will propose a description of how the relationship between work and housing has changed since the 19th century, and what relationships of power between worker and employer have been created as a result. I will use four case studies to highlight the changing city through the development of traditional capitalism in
This investigation will analyze how the genre historical fiction, more specifically the novel Falling Angels (2001) written by Tracy Chevalier, can be used in the EFL (English as Foreign Language) classroom in upper secondary school in Sweden. It will argue that the different themes approached by the novel are interesting points of departure to be used in the classroom for both language learning a

With population that exceeds 90 million inhabitants, Egypt is one of the large Arab developing countries where the government policies headed towards constructing new urban communities to absorb the vast increase in population. Although the physical planning of the new urban settlements took into consideration the existence of outdoor recreational services and facilities, the quality and adequacy
The South East Coast of Scania is a popular destination for both Swedish and foreign tourists. The long and wide sandy beaches are well visited by swimmers and beachgoers, but the waters have shown to be treacherous at times. In Au- gust 2015, two German tourists drowned after getting caught in a probable rip current in the proximity of Hav ̈ang beach. Six months after the accident, this thesis st
Diabetes is one of the most common chronic diseases in the world. Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) presents during pregnancy and significantly increases the risk of a number of adverse consequences for the fetus and mother. It is thought that low-grade chronic inflammation plays an important role in GDM. The inflammatory biomarker soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) has bee
Monte Carlo (MQ) method is a powerful tool to approximate high dimensional integrals. The disadvantage of ordinary MQ is the slow convergence rate by cause of the essential randomness of this method. Computations of this convergence can lead to pure time consuming. Quasi-Monte Carlo (QMC) method yields considerably better results since this method is a deterministic alternative which uses Low-Disc
