This project is ultimately a result of making a mental note of something missing from the marketplace, and a longing to meet that need by way of caring, skilled craftsmanship. Perhaps more importantly than just being a product opportunity in an otherwise predictable segment, it has been both an exercise in exploring a trade and designing a product to outlive its user.

Event is as a transcendent happening that is inventing in the existence in a revealing manner. It is breaking the continuity and opens up for something else.

The expressive concepts, event, “coming of the other”, promise, ju

The purpose of this paper is, with the help of the historical simulation and bootstrapping methods, to establish the optimal periods for Value at Risk and Expected Shortfall forecasts. Value at Risk and Expected Shortfall are two well-used risk measures in finance which tell us how much we can expect to lose on a particular investment with a certain probability over a specific period of time. The

Uppsatsen är en kortsiktig eventstudie, där skillnaden i den abnormala avkastningen kring annonseringen av en nyemission bland tre grupper av bolag, indelade utifrån bakomliggande motiv för nyemissionen, studeras.

Den här uppsatsen undersöker kopplingen mellan resursanvändning och ekonomisk tillväxt. Den ekonomiska tillväxten innebär användning av naturresurser som medför ökade avfallsmängder och negativ påverkan på människor och miljö. Avfall är den mest synliga och skadliga biprodukten av en resursintensiv, konsumtionsbaserad livsstil som driver många av världens ekonomier. För att skapa en långsiktig hål

This thesis will examine the discourse of peak oil understood from a post-political perspective and challenge the un-reflexive assumption of peak oil as a natural challenger to current hegemony. It will do so by constructing a theoretical framework for ‘politics proper’ through which the peak oil discourse will be assessed. The conclusion is that while peak oil offer the potential of a serious rup

This thesis presents the work I did for the inclusive search for anomalous production of same charge lepton-pairs, originating from the collision point, at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the LHC using the 2012 data. I optimized the selection criteria for isolated electrons and muons, calculated the so-called "fake factors" and "fake factor" systematic uncertainties

This essays focus is to unravel the discourses concerning women by doing a historic-comparative qualitative content analysis on Malleus Maleficarum, written in 1486, and modern papal writings in order to compare the similar or different ways in which the ideal woman is understood. The reason for why these materials have been chosen is based on the influential spread these writing had or have, and

The purpose of this paper was to show how politicians choose to use the history and the national discourse to mobilize for their ideological purposes. The Yugoslavia war is a clear example of that history can be used as a dangerous weapon during national and ethnical conflicts. To illuminate this a discourse analysis of nationalism and the ideological use of history will be done on three ex-Yugosl

Uppsatsen belyser jämställdhets- och genusarbete på några svenska förskolor. I studiens centrum står tre fokusområden, vilka även format huvudfrågeställningen: Hur ser verk-samhetsansvariga på tre olika förskolor i Skåne på könsneutralitet, normkritik och genuspedagogik i den egna verksamheten? Val av fokusområden beror på deras aktuella ställning i jämställdhetsfrågor inom förskolan. För att besv
