Investeringar till stängningskursen under första handelsdagen i börsintroduktioner på Bombay Stock Exchange genererar en negativ anormal avkastning på kort såväl som lång sikt. Endast en av de undersökta variablerna, branschen Healthcare, har ett statistiskt säkerställt samband med den långsiktiga prestationen.Investments in IPOs on the Bombay Stock Exchange at the closing price on the first day of trading generates a negative abnormal return in both the short and the long run. Only one of the independent variables, the industry Healthcare, has a statistically proven connection to the long run performance.

I Sudan, Kordofan, livnärs sig många från boskapsdjur och nomader har som uppgift att flytta runt dessa till diverse betesresurser. Eftersom betesresurserna varierar från år till år har det skapats ett projekt som kallas för GRIS där man ska ta reda på tillgång och efterfråga på just betesresurser. Data tillgänglig från detta projekt ska finnas tillgänglig på en kartapplikation och det är där dettIn Sahel livestock stands for an important resource. Since livestock is dependent on vegetation as food supply it is important to monitor biomass within the area to be able to assess and adapt to different situations regarding the livestock. Optimally such approximations should be available as early as possible in order for the owners to be able to make decisions while it still makes a difference.

The purpose with this project was to create future self-service points for Skånetrafiken. The ticket machines that are in use today are difficult to interact with and excluding to people who are sight impaired or uses a wheelchair. Since Skånetrafiken are going to implement new self-service solutions in 2019 they want suggestions on how it could be designed. We thought that this project was an exc

Denna uppsats undersöker hur en psykiatrisk vårdinstitution väljer att informera om psykiska sjukdomar när mottagaren är barn som är anhöriga i psykiatrin. Syftet är att ta reda på vilka sociala strategier som används för att informera om ett känsligt ämne på ett respektfullt och förtroendeingivande sätt. I min undersökning har jag utgått från teorier om artighetsstrategier som kan sägas skapa ant

Fluorescence imaging is a growing biomedical technique; it can be used to localize the luminescent biomarkers inside the tissue. Lanthanide-doped upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) are promising luminescent probes for multiple applications in biophotonics. They allow acquiring autofluorescence-free recordings with high spatial resolution. How- ever, upconverting nanoparticles have a low quantum yi

The UK has one of the lowest rates of social mobility in the developed world. While ample research has been published on the stratification of British society resulting from this, far less UK-specific work looks to unpack the processes which ensure these divides persist. This study reviews wider social mobility literature to demonstrate how inequality of opportunity in human capital development co

Abstract: The Demand-Control Model and the Effort-Reward-Imbalance Model are two models of occupational health that connects psychosocial work factors to health. Related research has often focused on small and homogenous samples and has rarely taken into account the eventual intermediating effect of different welfare regimes. Furthermore results regarding gender have been ambiguous. Through logist

This study aimed to examine the relatives' crisis associated with war-related experiences and the effect of the disappearance of family members during the Kosovo War. Based on the purpose of the study questions were formulated to find out the impact of the war’s events, the support relatives received to handle their everyday life, and the opportunity to process their crisis response. The crisi

The aim of this master thesis was to investigate a Fe-Mo-oxide catalyst of spinel structure for methanol oxidation to produce formaldehyde and determine if the spinel could be an alternative to the commercial Formox catalyst used today. This included firstly, synthesising the catalyst to get more knowledge of the formation of the structure and secondly, determine the activity, selectivity to forma

This paper will illustrate legally knowledgeable judges’ experiences of working with lay judges in the district courts of Sweden, as well as their advantages and disadvantages within the judicial field. The system of lay judges has been subject for discussion both within the media and internally within the court. This may be partly due to the general lack of legal knowledge withheld by the lay jud

This thesis is written as an introductory compilation of two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy (2DES) and its applications. It introduces the concepts of 2DES where the aim is to provide an overview of the technique and a few of its more prominent applications for those who are not already familiar with the technique. 2DES is a third-order optics technique that utilizes three interactions with l

Asylsökande och flyktingar anses vara särskilt utsatta för psykisk ohälsa då pre- och postmigratoriska faktorer tillsammans kan bidra till en kumulativ ohälsoproblematik. Upplevelser av våld, krig och tortyr i hemlandet kan leda till svåra psykiska besvär samtidigt som osäkerhet kring asylprocessen, utanförskap och kommunikationssvårigheter ytterligare försvårar tillvaron i det nya landet. Okunska

This report discusses the implementation of machine learning algorithms for personalising question selection in a questionnaire-based self-report app for individuals suffering from mental health issues. A so-called \textit{Random Forest - Genetic Algorithm} (RFGA) hybrid prediction method is used to find an optimal set of relevant questions to pose to new users in the app. A complementary ad-hoc pTeaching computers to find factors that affect the mental health of app users By training computers to find patterns in how users answer questions regarding their mental health in self-report apps, factors that affect the users' psychological well-being can be found.

As the ‘era of borders’ can define the structure of the present European Union and its nation-state members, the rapid increase in international migration and the high amount of refugees can reveal how today’s EU politics has come to focus on the importance of maintaining the present-day European Union and its unifying identity. In consequence to the on-going politics, it is required to lower the

This bachelor thesis concerns the Swedish artist Maria Röhl (1801-1875). She had her peak in the 1840ties as the favorite portrait artist of the Swedish bourgeoisie and nobility. The questions I put forward in the thesis are focused on facial- and hand features in her drawings. From where do they originate? Does it have an origin in fashion, society or in con- temporary scientific views? The resea

Nonprofit organizations are an important element of society. They provide services, and advocate for change, through their programs. But how do they create their programs? This thesis defines nonprofit innovation as the implementation of a new or significantly improved program, and suggests we borrow practices used to understand firm innovation, to understand nonprofit innovation. A Nonprofit Inno

Intimiseringen har förändrat myndigheters språk och syn på medborgare, och myndigheter behöver idag inte markera sin auktoritet med ett maktspråk. Då språket vittnar om synen på medborgaren kommer jag att undersöka hur Stadsbyggnadskontoret i Malmö och dess mottagare konstrueras i förvaltningens bygglovstexter, samt vilken relation som skapas mellan dem i texterna. Mina frågeställningar är 1) Vilk

This master thesis aimed at exploring different methods of producing a beverage based on Lantmännen’s Swedish grown white beans. A flour was milled from beans that had been soaked and boiled in order to inactivate antinutrients such as lectins, trypsin inhibitors and phytic acid, and subsequently dried and milled. A water-based beverage with 8% bean flour was boiled for 5 min. 1.5% of rapeseed oil

Add to the understanding of a boutique firm unique work characteristics, while supporting them in developing their competitive strength. It’s essential to learn how a boutique firm can be sustainable in the long term with its unique features against multinational firms.

Increasing proportions of elderly are one of the major challenges arising from changes in the age distributions of many Western societies. Whilst much attention has been to paid to continental and national trends of population ageing, relatively little consideration has been to regional patterns of population ageing. This paper focuses on the population ageing process in 33 municipalities in Skåne
