Since its heyday in the 1960 and 70s, the sociology of literature has been declared dead and gone, yet research related to the field also seems to be reemerging in the first decades of the 21st century. Research relating to the field is scattered across other disciplines, such as literary studies, media studies and cultural studies; indeed, sociology of literature is “everywhere and nowhere”, as J

Eutrophication is a serious problem in many parts of the world, and aquaculture production can contribute to the problem as well as be part of its solution. Nutrient polices in developed countries are often command-and-control policies that may have contributed to the slow growth of the sector.

In this paper, we investigate the distributional properties of the estimated tangency portfolio (TP) weights assuming that the asset returns follow a matrix variate closed skew-normal distribution. We establish a stochastic representation of the linear combination of the estimated TP weights that fully characterizes its distribution. Using the stochastic representation we derive the mean and variaIn this paper, we investigate the distributional properties of the estimated tangency portfolio (TP) weights assuming that the asset returns follow a matrix variate closed skew-normal distribution.

The critique of the legal form of capitalism by E. B. Pashukanis has risen to prominence once again. However, the negative origin of the concept of the legal form, the critique of formalism and instrumentalism, has received too little attention. This essay substantiates the significance of Pashukanis’s critique, avoiding both overly general and narrow conceptions. Moreover, it proposes that his ne

In the press release, the Council of Europe stated that a new directive, the Whistleblower Protection Directive, would increase protection of whistle-blowers. At the same time, companies and authorities were still struggling with the complicated

Forskning visar på att majoriteten av unga män upplever att de känner sig trygga när de vistas ute på kvällarna även fast forskningen också visar på att denna grupp har större risk till att bli utsatta för brott än vad jämnåriga kvinnor har. Därav sågs det som intresse att studerar hur unga upplever sin trygghet när de befinner sig ute sent på kvällarna och vilka faktorer som påverkar denna känsla

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur individanpassad marknadsföring på Instagram kan påverka kunders relation och lojalitet till företag som marknadsför sig på det sociala mediet. Utifrån detta har vi formulerat följande frågeställningar: Hur påverkas kunders relationer till företag som använder sig av individanpassad marknadsföring på Instagram? Hur kan individanpassad marknadsföring på

In 2008, a feasibility study was started to introduce new railway switches and point machines in the Swedish Transport Administration's standard assortment in connection with the Innotrack project. In 2009, the company Vossloh won the contract with the point machine Easyswitch 1.0. The point machine would be installed together with 60E-switches. In 2015, the rollout of Easyswitch 1.0 was halte

Uppsatsen ”Ett abstrakt system i turbulens – Mediekonstruktionen av Boeing under 737 MAX-krisen” är författad av Klara Thorell vid institutionen för Kommunikation och Medier vid Lunds Universitet. Uppsatsen undersöker framingen av en förtroendekris genom en fallstudie av Boeingkrisen som utbröt under år 2019. Kriser inom flygindustrin tenderar att bli stora och allvarliga vilket gör det intressant

Huvuddelen av alla pianoelever slutar spela inom 3 år på kulturskolan. Varför är frånfallet så stort och vad kan man göra för att förhindra det? Tidigare forskning visar bland annat att popmusik är den genre pianoeleverna helst vill spela och att det är viktigt att eleverna känner att de utvecklas och upplever en känsla av kompetens för att vilja fortsätta spela. Att spela ett instrument kommer ocThe main part of all piano students stops playing within 3 years at culture school. Why is the number of dropouts so high and what can be done to prevent it? Previous research shows, among other things, that pop music is the genre piano students preferably want to play and that it is important that students feel that they develop and experience a sense of competence to want to continue playing. Pl

This thesis provides an understanding and overview of the opportunities and challenges to enable a sustainable use of individual polybags used in the retail-industry. This was done by conducting a qualitative analysis including literature reviews, semi-structured interviews and e-mail correspondence. A common material choice for individual polybags is the fossil-based LDPE plastic and this packagi

När ett byggföretag skall uppföra ett bostadsrättshus behöver företaget ofta låna pengar för att har råd med bygget. För att få låna pengar kräver bankerna att företaget kan visa på att de kommer kunna sälja bostadsrätterna i enlighet med sin ekonomiska plan.
