Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka maktrelationers påverkan vid kriser och samhällstörningar med särskilt fokus på hur detta framställs i utvärderingar av samhällets insatser vid kriser och samhällsstörningar. Det empiriska materialet består av två utvärderingar, dels utvärderingen efter skogsbranden i Västmanland 2014 (Sjökvist 2015) och dels utvärderingen efter helikopterrånet i Stockholm 2009 (R
Auralization is of interest in several disciplines - virtual reality, architecture and video games. Current trends in the eld of computuation have led to dramatic increases in performance in recent years. In this project, a prototype of an auralization-engine is developed. The program is capable of plausible room acoustic simulation in real time for a moving receiver and arbitrary room models. Thi
This report aims to compare methods that can be used to efficiently and accurately map digital price labels position in 3D space using a mobile robotic platform equipped with camera vision in a retail environment. The robotic platform built during the project uses four wide angle cameras to cover the full circular view in the horizontal plane. Installation of external systems for e.g. navigation c
This paper studies the possibility to exploit linear dependence in stock returns of the Swedish OMX 30 index. The main model studied in the paper is a Vector autoregressive (VAR) model. Ten years of data from the OMX 30 index is used, consisting of 27 stocks for the period 2006-2015 which is transformed into daily, weekly and monthly returns.

According to dual-process models of recognition memory, an old/new recognition response can be based on a sense of familiarity and/or recollection of contextual details. Two topographically and functionally distinct ERP old/new effects are held as generic indices of familiarity and recollection respectively.

Denna uppsats behandlar idrottskvinnor i nyhetssändningar i svensk respektive italiensk public service-tv. Undersökningen redogör för hur kvinnliga idrottare skildras i jämförelse med manliga i nyhetssändningarna som granskats. För att skapa en internationell uppfattning vad gäller representationen av damidrotten i tv valdes en komparativ undersökning mellan Italiens och Sveriges public service-ka
The dawn of negative interest rates has drawn much attention to the German economist and libertarian socialist Silvio Gesell (1862-1930) who proposed the measure in the early 20th century. Although the attention has led to countless mentions in economic journal articles and speeches conducted by central bankers, often, no further effort is made of going deeper into his work. This paper intends to
Infrastruktur har länge ansetts tillhöra nyckelfaktorerna för ekonomiskt tillväxt. Dock saknas det i vetenskapen en uttalad konsensus gällande hur infrastruktur ska mätas och vilka mått som ska tillämpas i studier med syfte att studera infrastrukturens påverkan på tillväxten. Denna undersökning syftar till att studera den faktiska transporttid ett land uppvisar och studera om denna uppmätta tid ka

Trä och andra organiska material riskerar att angripas av mikrobiell påväxt under vissa temperatur- och fuktförhållanden. Mögel- och rötsvamp kan börja växa på trä om fukthalten är tillräckligt hög. Rötsvampar bryter ner träets olika beståndsdelar i olika utsträckning beroende på svamp- och trädart. Det som påverkar rötsvampars tillväxt är bland annat fukthalt, temperatur, pH-värde och syrehalt. E
Very little if any previous research has been done on the potential predictability of bear and bull regimes in the Swedish stock market. In this study my aim is to predict OMXS30 bull and bear regimes with dynamic binary time series models. After using a nonparametric approach to identify the regimes of bull and bear periods in the market I looked at both an in sample and out of sample test. Based
