Purpose The purpose of this thesis is to study if and how institutional investors have any impact on shareholder value and operating performance on the Swedish market. The tested explanatory variables are institutional investors grouped in different ways depending on their attributes, firm size, board size and board structure, leverage, firm size, share turnover and stock volatility. Theoretical
What determines and regulates the content of the textbooks for the Swedish gymnasium (secondary school)? In the present comparative and analytic study Swedish textbooks in history and religious studies are examined. The goal is to analyze and compare the textbook approach, interpretation and usage of the terms caste and globalization, as well as the reasons for these depictions. Eric Wolf and Jona
Introduction: Arterial spin labelling (ASL) is a non-invasive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique for assessment of perfusion. ASL uses magnetically labelled blood water as a diffusible endogenous tracer to measure the perfusion of brain tissue, i.e. the cerebral blood flow (CBF). Traditionally, ASL samples images at a specific point in time allowing the CBF to be calculated using a model o
Whey protein powder functionality is expected to be closely linked to both structure and properties of the proteins. It is essential that whey protein powders are easily dispersed and dissolved in order to fulfil the specified nutrient content and the functionality in the final product. Poor rehydration can cause challenges on an industrial level as well as for the consumers.

Forskare Mina vetenskapliga intressen täcker ett brett område i skärningspunkten mellan biologi och beräkningsvetenskap. Den forskning jag bedrivit kan beskrivas som en blandning av modellering på olika detaljnivå – ofta utifrån nätverk av gener – och utveckling av algoritmer och mjukvara.

Genuine forms of participation of the local people are integral to the success of government development projects implemented to curtail escalating insurgency against the State in the restive southern borders provinces of Thailand. This thesis aims to determine the form of participation that has manifested itself and the mechanisms of power that shape its parameters, given the centralized and hier
Energy poverty has been kept at bay in Sweden for the past decades owing to several beneficial circumstances. However, geopolitical pressure and an accelerating energy transition are changing the circumstances and exposing vulnerabilities to energy poverty in Sweden particularly connected to electricity price peaks. The circumstantial nature of the exposed risks for energy poverty motivates a conc
Investments evaluation has been considerably studied by academics. Researchers argue that decisions are based on the least expensive investment because of the commoditization of Information Technology (IT) (Carr, 2003). Nevertheless, evaluating an investment strictly from a financial perspective may be problematic because it disregards other benefits that enhance organizational performance (Lin et
The purpose of this thesis is to study and analyze how benchmarking as a tool is being practiced in the Swedish hotel sector, and also to study what potentials and abilities for learning and development there are. In order to fulfill the purpose we have compared how selected hotels apply benchmarking in practice. We applied a qualitative method with a deductive approach in terms of a multiple cas
This study aims to examine the online afterlife of the slasher film Sleepaway Camp (1983, Robert Hiltzik) and how this afterlife relates to the queer elements in the film and its role as a cult film. By combining analytical perspectives and tools deriving from film studies and media studies, through applying film analysis as a method and using a netnographic approach, the fields complement each ot
As the world population and the world economy continues increasing, theoverallconsumption in some parts of the world reach even more unsustainable proportions, which in turn leads to negative climate effects. To deal with this problem along with others, the concept circular economy has gained great importance.The aim of the circular economy is to minimize and prevent the upcoming of waste and to m
This study compares analytical and numerical models for groundwater modelling. The focus of comparison is to investigate the change of the analytical results when there is only a partial penetration of the aquifer. Two methods of comparison are used, the first one consisting of calculating a radial distance from a shaft to the point where the drawdown is 0.3 meters with both models. The second metCan pen and paper groundwater models compete with computer programs? Could something as simple as a pen and paper equation on the back of an envelope compete with advanced and expensive computer programs? Surprisingly, the answer could be yes for sandy soils. When modelling how a construction project will affect the groundwater surface, it’s easy to assume that the more advanced the model is, the
In recent years there has been an intensive discussion about how Sweden should be organized in the future. At the turn of 2010/2011six Halland communes formed Region Halland. In this thesis the changes of the Swedish state space are studied through a theoretical approach which focuses on the spatial selectivity. By the concept of spatial selectivity the political-economic aspects of spatial chang
The aim of this thesis is to study Swedish archaeological finds of aurochs (Bos primigenius) in order to complement the existing knowledge about the aurochs that is based on the sub fossil material. This thesis presents all the finds of aurochs that has been made in archaeological context in Sweden, in order to see if the humans had different hunting strategies in different geographic locations.

Homelessness is a major concern in todays society. Nevertheless, the place of the church S:ta Clara in Stockholm, Sweden, has an individual will to diminish homeless individuals and improve their standard of living. The purpose of this bachelor’s thesis is to investigate the place and space of S:ta Clara. It’s about the everyday life of homeless individuals who socialize and could obtain security
