Valblindhet innebär ett misslyckande att upptäcka en diskrepans mellan ett val man gör och dess utfall. The misinformation effect uppstår när ens hågkomst av en händelse förändras för att ny, felaktig information om händelsen givits. Syftet med denna studie var dels att undersöka huruvida valblindhet kan skapas för personers hågkomst av en händelse de bevittnat, och dels om valblindhet i så fall pChoice blindness is the failure to detect a discrepancy between a choice and its outcome. The misinformation effect occurs when the recollection of an event changes because new, misleading information about the event is received. The purpose of this study was to merge the choice blindness and misinformation effect paradigms, and thus examine whether choice blindness can be created for individuals’

The dynamics of misvaluation and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) have long been debated in light of the efficient market hypothesis. Still, the existence of misvaluation in itself raises the eyebrows of economists as it would entail the possibility of cross-border arbitrage. Consequently, within the debate trying to enlighten the matter, the primary purpose of this thesis is to investigate the dyn

Hegemonic feminism have often been criticised for organising from a white, heterosexual, able-bodied, middle-class perspective. As a counteracting of this many minority groups have chosen to organise separately, based on common interests or experiences. This thesis explores the politics of minority women and groups’ organising practices. It also discusses the compatibility of civil society and fem

Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to investigate which firm-specific variables can explain the cross-section of expected stock returns in the German market. The tested explanatory variables are market beta, firm size, the book-to-market ratio, the earnings-to-price ratio, leverage, the dividend yield, the cash flow-to-price ratio and sales growth. Furthermore, the thesis also examines the con

The main purpose of this paper is to analyze different factors which have an impact on the level of financial constraints that companies face. The main factors that are discussed in this paper are the size of firms and the level of country development, measured by institutional development, development of financial markets and economic development. Whited-Wu index is used to calculate the level of

The Master thesis «Shine» is consisting out of two parallel connected projects, based on a personal extensive interest for glittering, shimmering, shiny and dazzling effects. The first project is an exploration of a personal theme about the effect, in the theses referred to as «Shine». The second project is a concept of a tent, inspired from the first project.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the current state of entrepreneurship education in Swedish compulsory schools. In light of the 2011 reform of the national Swedish Curriculum in which entrepreneurship education was first introduced, four schools are examined, through interviews with the principal and two teachers per school, to determine their perceptions and implementations of entrepre

Examensarbetet besvarar frågan om överföringar av asylsökande till Georgien som ännu inte fått sina asylskäl utförligt utredda skulle utsätta dem för en verklig risk för omänsklig eller förnedrande behandling och därmed vara oförenliga med Europakonventionens artikel 3. Asylrätten bygger på bedömningar av individuella asylskäl. I examensarbetet studeras därför problem i Georgien som är generella nThis graduate thesis examines if readmitting asylum seekers from EU member states to Georgia without first thoroughly assessing their claims would be illegal on the grounds that it would expose them to a real risk of ill-treatment contrary to Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights. The basis of asylum law is protection based on individual grounds. This graduate thesis therefore studi

Säsongsbaserade organisationer inom skidturismen kräver ofta en kraftig utökning av personalstyrka under vinterhalvåret jämfört med resten av året. De säsongsanställda blir organisationens ansikte utåt och de behöver därför kunna möta kundernas behov och förväntningar. Det är viktigt att organisationen håller en hög standard vad gäller kvalité samtidigt som de ska kunna motivera en stor grupp säso

The Islamic government in Iran has legalized transsexual surgeries and introduced a legal process which leads to medical intervention in transsexual cases. This has allowed thousands of Iranian men and women to undergo sex change every year. This paper explores the social and legal discourses on sex change and transsexuality in Iran in order to examine if the legalization of sex change surgery has

What are the long-term differences in the propensity of immigrants to acquire destination country citizenship under different institutional contexts and how do these vary between migrant groups? This article draws on micro-level longitudinal data from administrative registers in Denmark, the Netherlands, and Sweden—three countries with widely different and changing requirements for the acquisition

We establish support and resistance levels from data in intraday currency exchange market activity based on machine learning methods. Specifically we design two semi-supervised classification neural networks. The first one is based on a variant of the K-means method while the second is based on a Gaussian mixture model with expectation maximisation. Each performs classification from tick data on v

The Hemse Group is one of the least understood stratigraphic units of the Silurian sequence of Gotland, Sweden. New results from airborne transient electromagnetic (ATEM) measurements in combination with previously published data from field studies and geophysical investigations shed new light on carbonate platform development during the early- to mid-Ludlow Hemse Group. ATEM reveals a transgressi

Background. Pernicious anemia (PA) is an autoimmune disease (AID) which is caused by lack of vitamin B12 (cobalamin) due to its impaired uptake. PA is a multifactorial disease which is associated with a number of other AID comorbidities and which is manifested as part of autoimmune polyglandular syndrome. Due to the shortage of family studies on PA, we planned to address the problem by assessing f

Background: Finn Chambers AQUA (FCA) is a development of the Finn Chambers (FC) test system in which the test chambers are mounted on a moisture-resistant adhesive patch. FCA has pre-fixed filter papers. Because the use of FCA does not require any extra taping or use of separate filter papers, a change from FC to FCA chambers may be beneficial for both patients and patch-test technicians. Objectiv

In the present work, the laminar burning velocities of the NH3+N2O+air flames were measured using the heat flux method at 1 atm and 298 K, with varied equivalence ratios and N2O mixing ratios. For the mixing ratio N2O/(N2O+air) = 0.5, a full range of equivalence ratios was covered. Moreover, at three equivalence ratios an extended range of mixing ratios was investigated. The laminar burning veloci

The monoamines, serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, epinephrine and histamine, play a critical role in the function of the hypothalamic- pituitary-adrenal axis and in the integration of information in sensory, limbic, and motor systems. The primary mechanism for termination of monoaminergic neurotransmission is through reuptake of released neurotransmitter by Na+,CI-dependent plasma membrane tran
