Ett företagsförvärv är en mycket omfattande process och innebär ofta stor risk för båda parter. Det är av stor betydelse för parterna vem som ska bära ansvar och hur risken ska fördelas för de olika förhållandena i förvärvet. Det är därför naturligt att en köpare företar en omsorgsfull undersökning av det tilltänkta köpobjektet. En undersökning av det slaget kan påverka köparens möjligheter att gö
This essay explains the relation between the return on a company’s stock and the implicit volatility in its call option on one hand and the impact new information has on these on the other hand. The purpose with this essay is to explain how the Swedish Share Market and Option Market react on new information in the context of quarterly reports and investigate if there is any abnormal return on the
There is a remarkable gap between the socio-economic living conditions of the urban aboriginal people compared to other urban residents in Canada. The purpose of this essay is to explain why this gap is intact by explaining how urban space is intimately connected with the search for a national identity. The Canadian national identity was originally based on the displacement of the aboriginal peopl
This thesis investigates what the abolishment of the National Military Service (July 2010) meant for the content of what, and the manner in which, the Swedish Armed Forces communicates to the Swedish public. The main theoretical and methodological approach of the thesis lies within discourse analysis. Additionally, theories of globalization and perception management (propaganda) are used to analyz
Since the 2000s, several healthcare reforms have been conducted within the healthcare system in Germany. These reforms aimed at decreasing healthcare costs by introducing market processes into public services, among other means. This paper examines the policy preferences and the discourse concerning the reforms of the two dominant parties in German politics, the Social Democratic Party (SPD) and t
This guideline aims to describe the complement system and the functions of the constituent pathways, with particular focus on primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs) and their diagnosis and management. The complement system is a crucial part of the innate immune system, with multiple membrane-bound and soluble components. There are three distinct enzymatic cascade pathways within the complement system,
Based on first-hand ethnographic insights into Shi‘i religious groups in the Middle East and Europe, this book examines women’s resistance to state as well as communal and gender power structures. It offers a new transnational approach to understanding gender agency within contemporary Islamic movements expressed through language, ritual practices, dramatic performances, posters, and banners. By l
Transitional justice inevitably means striking a balance between justice and peace. The purpose of this paper is to examine and analyze how policies of truth and justice have fared over time and continue to hold momentum in the case of Chile and Argentina. I will carry out this aim through a comparative study guided essentially by two theoretical approaches of transitional justice- legalism and pr
The purpose of the present study is to compare the use of three major conjunctions ?and?, ?or? and ?but? by Chinese (Hong Kong) and American university students. The study is also concerned with the position and functions of major conjunctions. Materials from three corpora are used with the help of a concordance for functional analysis, which may be applied to ELT material design and classroom met
The Treaty of Lisbon entered into force December 1 2009, but the road to get there was long and bumpy. For years this Reform Treaty of the EU has been subject of debate and conflict. This paper aims at giving a theoretical understanding of this last amending treaty of the EU, using and comparing two widely recognised approaches in the study of European integration: neo-functionalism and liberal in
Drawing on unique sources from the Swedish Migration Agency Archive, this article examines how Afghan asylum seekers and refugees fared in their encounter with Swedish internal and external controls of people seeking protection from persecution during the Cold War. Within a theoretical framework that draws on the concept of statist logic, the history of refugeehood, interactionist sociology and cr
We propose a consensus definition of "an exaggerated orthostatic pressor response" in subjects in whom systolic blood pressure increases ≥20 mmHg when going from the supine to standing posture. This definition can be extended for seated to standing measurements. We reserve the term "orthostatic hypertension" if this pressor response leads to an upright systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg. We believe
This chapter analyzes the legitimizing discourse of the humanities in two different public debates in Sweden at the end of the twentieth century and at the beginning of the twenty-first century. The first debate concerned the marginalized role of the humanities and their relation to the broader public, while the second was strongly influenced by current research policies, which had a strong focus
Various mechanisms have been proposed for hydrogen embrittlement of duplex stainless steel, but the causation of hydrogen-induced material degradation has remained unclear. This work shows that phase instability (decomposition) of the austenite phase and ductile-to-brittle transition of the ferrite phase precedes hydrogen embrittlement. In-situ diffraction measurements revealed that Ni-rich sites
In various conceptual models, the shape parameter (β) of the storage capacity curve, representing the non-linear relationship between relative soil moisture and runoff, determines runoff yield given certain circumstances of rainfall and antecedent soil moisture. In practice, β is typically calibrated for individual catchments and for different purposes, which limits more systematic understanding a
