The aim of the study was to explore the psychological well-being of a group of adolescents in relation to how they regarded achieving in school, in a gender perspective. Twenty semi-structured interviews were conducted with students aged 17-19 at a high-achieving school in a big city in Sweden. The interviews were analyzed thematically and the results showed that the adolescents acted differently as well as regarded achieving in school differently depending on gender. The young women were driven by ambition, they were high-achieving and planning for the future. The young men cared less about achieving and thought more about the present.

Med de senaste årens volatilitet på oljemarknaderna och den historiska inverkan som oljepriset har haft på inflationen så avser vi att undersöka hur stor inverkan oljepriset har på inflationen idag. Vi gör vår undersökning på ett urval av industrialiserade och ej fullt industrialiserade länder för att se om det är någon skillnad på resultaten mellan dessa typer av ekonomier. Vi närmar oss problemet med en oljeutökad Phillipskurva som specificeras i tre olika modeller. Specifikationerna baseras på nykeynesiansk teori, monetarism och ECB:s två pelar strategi vid inflationsanalys. Vi finner att oljepriset har haft en påverkan på inflationen under tidsperioden 1979-2007 i de industrialiserade länderna men att effekten över lag är avtagande vid en jämförelse med perioden 1990-2007.

Denna uppsats behandlar bostadspolitiken, och dess påverkan på integrationen. Stockholm genomgick stora förändringar när miljonprogrammet genomfördes på 1970-talet. Idag ser man tendenser i Helsingborg att man är på väg att göra samma misstag än en gång. H+ projektet i Helsingborg har som vision att motverka den starka segregation som existerar i Helsingborg idag. Denna uppsats ska försöka att bevisa att resultatet av denna utbyggnad kommer att leda till det motsatta vilket är en ökad segregation i en redan så segregerad stad..

Uppsatsen undersökte en alternativ metod att kreditbetygsätta företagsobligationer. Metoden är baserad på en modell skapad av Hall & Miles (1990) och har tillämpats med viss framgång på banksektorn i tidigare studier. Modellen gör antagandet om effektiva kapitalmarknader och använder aktiekursinformation som enda informationskälla. Undersökningen utfördes genom att applicera modellen på 49 slumpvis utvalda amerikanska företag och ta fram en tio års lång kreditbetygshistorik. Denna kreditbetygshistorik jämfördes sedan med kreditbetyg på de 49 företagen satta av kreditvärderingsinstitutet Moody?s under samma period.

Global climate change is one of the greatest challenges in our history. As the average temperature is rising due to anthropogenic emissions, impacts such as floods, droughts and hurricanes, affect the lives of millions of people. Though the least developed countries are least responsible for emissions, they are the worst affected. This thesis focuses on environmental justice in the adaptation discourse. By outlining the adaptation discourse from the United Framework Convention on Climate Change principles, to the Marrakesh Accords, via the Kyotoprotocol my ambition is to analyse how environmental justice has been interpreted in relation to the adaptation discourse.

During the last 20 years, the Swedish health care system has faced major changes. One of them is the increasing pressure to generate economic profit due to private businesses entering the market. Health care units are forced to make some structural changes in order to become effective and efficient. As a result merger and acquisitions has become a part of the health care sector, and seems to be an increasing phenomenon. Mergers and acquisitions have mainly been studied in the industry.

Throughout the years the Swedish local history societies have collected a large quantity of material, consisting of photos, documents and items, among others. As the society has become more computerized, the need has increased for these collections to become digitalized. This is a way to make their media more easily accessible to the general public, but also to easily be able to archive and preserve for example photos and videos electronically.This thesis concerns itself with the work we have done for the local history society of Nyed in Molkom. The task set before us consisted of creating both a website for the society, and a reliable database from witch the website draws its information. This project allows anyone with administrator privileges to upload new files and any additional information.

The well-being of employees has become a key concept in the rhetoric of the company boards and business literature of today. There is however not much statistic evidence of a connection between economic results and the perceived working climate. This thesis sets out to investigate whether there is a positive correlation between economic results and working climate on a work group level. It also aims to study which specific working climate factors influence the results. In order to meet its purpose this thesis analyzes employee satisfaction questionnaire data and economic results from more than 300 work groups.

Syftet är att undersöka ifall det finns ett signifikant samband mellan matchresultat och rörelsen i ett fotbollslags aktiekurs. Uppsatsen ska även ge en ökad förståelse gällande skillnader i avvikande avkastning vid olika typer av motstånd och matcher. Uppsatsen är kvantitativ undersökning med deduktivt angreppssätt där avvikande avkastning studeras vid olika händelser med hjälp av diverse hypotesprövningar. Teorierna i uppsatsen behandlar aktievärdering, marknadseffektivitet samt aktieägarbeteende. Empirin presenteras i form av tabeller med avvikande avkastning och hypotesprovningar vid olika händelser.

Sustainability has become more interesting to several companies through the last years, the trend attracts lots of attention around sustainability. Sustainable development means different to different people. The most frequent definition that we have found and which we believes compare with our definition of sustainable development.?a social change which satisfies daily needs without endanger next generation?s possibilities to satisfy their needs?.We have in this project commence from the English word sustainability and establish our own apprehension of its meaning, in the Swedish translation we have chose to call it sustainable development.This study is a part of an extensive project which is going on around the world and the material of the empirical study is designed after the international variation.Our study on over fifty small and medium sized enterprises has got the conclusion about what they think of sustainable development. We have compiled their answers and then the answers have been divided in three main categories.These main categories are:? Environmental-? Social-? Economic sustainabilityWe have also described what kind of obstacles which can be considered as standstill?s in the work with sustainable development, we have been summery them in three main categories:? Time? Cost? KnowledgeWe have seen that enterprises mostly see it as an competitive advantage to work with the main categories which is included in sustainable development, but the three standstill?s makes it difficult fore them to reach right up to sustainable development..

Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka hur den romerska arméns logistik fungerade och vad för slags mat den romerska legionären åt i fält. Den tidsperiod uppsatsen behandlar är 50 f. Kr, 100 e. Kr och 350/70 e. Kr.

In part this paper is a contribution to the ongoing Swedish discussion about our public structures. The discussion has picked up speed in the last years thanks to a government backed committee trying to come up with a suggestion to make our public sector more efficient. A big part of the debate is about the independence and work of our municipalities, what they should do, what they shouldn?t do and when the state should step in and take over. I make a theoretical investigation into one of these issues, the one about job creation.

Uppsatsens syfte är att försöka utreda en eventuell relation mellan mål- och uppköpsföretagets q-värden och aktieägarnas avkastning i samband med ett företagsförvärv, samt vilken relation som skapar störst aktieägaravkastning. Teorin kring Tobins q samt teorier kring aktieägarnas avkastning i samband med företagsförvärv och faktorer som påverkar denna ut-gör grund för uppsatsen. Henri Servaes artikel om företagsförvärv och Tobins q på den amerikanska marknaden fungerar som refe-rensstudie. En kvantitativ undersökningsmetod med hypotesprövning används i arbetet. Relationen mellan mål- och uppköpsföretagens q-värden och aktieägarnas avkastning analyseras med multipel regression.
