Uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka om det finns en påvisbar onormal avkastning omkring det datum då företagsledningen annonserar om utdelningsförändring. Studien syftar även till att analysera om det kan finnas någon skillnad i onormal avkastning mellan de fall Affärsvärldens utdelningsprognoser stämmer överens med de faktiska utdelningarna, och de fall de inte gör det. För att undersöka om det fanns någon onormal avkastning har en eventstudie genomförts. Händelsefönstret i eventstudien består av dagen för offentliggörandet samt tre dagar innan och efter. För att testa om eventuella onormala avkastningar är signifikanta har vi använt oss av hypotesprövning och t-test.

Att många barn världen över mist rätten till sitt biologiska hushåll och att flera befarar att hamna i samma situation är ingen nyhet. I Bosnien- Hercegovina råder en kaotisk efterkrigstid som satt sina spår på familjebanden. Detta i form av att gemenskapen familjemedlemmar emellan blir allt svagare eller löses upp. För två år sedan byggdes ett Familjecenter för stigmatiserade familjer vars mål är att stärka familjeband och ge hushållets medlemmar ny hopp. Jag blev väldigt nyfiken på detta Center speciellt eftersom det var så annorlunda från andra Sociala Välfärdscenter i staden.

Stolen var historiskt en statusmarkör i både kyrklig och profan miljö, där utseende och material talade sitt tydliga språk. Idag är situationen annorlunda och stolens ställning förändrad. Som kyrklig föremålsgrupp är den relativt outforskad vilket var en bidragande faktor till det här arbetet. För att öka förståelsen har dess historiska status och användningsområden belysts, vilket kan påverka stolens bevarande. Studien bygger på resultaten från genomförda inventeringar i de fem sockenkyrkorna i Västra Storsjöbygdens församling, Jämtland.

Emotional intelligence (EQ) has been claimed to be the most critical factor in determining a person's success in life, both personal and professional. EQ highly affects academic and job performance, leadership, stress, and well-being but is still not widely accounted for in recruitment processes. During the last 20 years a large number of researchers have shown interest in the concept of emotional intelligence, but few have studied its practical implications and how EQ-tests are used as a selection tool in recruitment processes. To create an understanding of the motivation for using the test, as well as its role in recruitment decisions, qualitative interviews have been conducted with recruiters at companies in Stockholm, Sweden. All interviewed companies use the self-assessment test EQ:i 2.0.

The purpose of this examination was to make a qualitative study focusing on children's influence from a gender perspective. The study is based on interviews. We wanted to investigate teachers' perception of children's influence in the preschool.Earlier research on children´s influence and gender has also helped us in the conclusion of this examination.The survey consists of ten interviews with teachers of varied work experience in the preschool. We also chose to interview teachers in other positions, since this is often the case in preschools today. From the result we can see that there are different levels of skill and awareness regarding the topic of children's influence from a gender perspective.

Looking at the debate on nuclear power in Sweden, the issue of risk is central to understanding the difficulties in resolving differences between proponents and opponents. I sought to answer the research question: "how is the concept of risk constructed in the nuclear power debate in Sweden?" Four main aspects of risk construction were defined and investigated to identify differences between sides in the debate. Through a qualitative study of the debate and its actors I found clear differences in respect to all four aspects of risk construction. First, the perception of nuclear power as a "normal risk" is common among nuclear opponents in contrast to a largely probabilistic view among proponents.

Att drabbas av en plötslig sjukdom som stroke är en traumatisk upplevelse, vilket kan resultera i svårigheter att förstå och anpassa sig till de nya förutsättningarna. Sjukdomen påverkar hela livssituationen. Syftet med litteraturstudien var att beskriva upplevelser av att drabbas av stroke i åldern 18-55 år. Kvalitativ innehållsanalys användes för att analysera de utvalda studierna, vilket resulterade i fyra kategorier; att livet får en plötslig vändning, att inte längre vara samma person som förut, att mötas av oförståelse och uppfattas som annorlunda av omgivningen samt att relationer till andra förändras. I resultatet framkom att personer upplevde osynliga symtom som hindrande i vardagen.

Logiskt-analytiskt särbegåvade vuxna svenskar undersöktes genom två delstudier, explorativa intervjuer (n=9) och en enkät (n=302), med syfte att öka förståelsen kring hur denna grupp ser på sin begåvning, sina relationer och bemötandet från omvärlden. Skillnaderna inom gruppen var stor, men gemensamma drag var otålighet och ett ifrågasättande av regler och normer. Majoriteten känner sig annorlunda, men för de flesta innebär detta inte något utanförskap som vuxen. Nästan enhälligt påtalar respondenterna hur illa den svenska skolan har mött deras behov, vissa har gått genom skolan utan att vara lärande. Få reflekterar över sig själva i termer av begåvning.
