Problem   Are there any abnormal changes in the parent company's share price at the news of a Spin?off.ObjectiveThe main purpose of the study is to investigate how the news of a Spin-off affects the parent company's share price. In other words if the news of the Spin-off gives an abnormal return on the Stockholm Stock Exchange during the specific period of 1998?2008. In addressing this, the paper will also investigate the following sub sections: are there any differences in the abnormal returns in various sectors and what the reasons to perform a Spin?off in the Swedish market are.MethodAn event study in which market data is used to measure specific events? impact on the value of the company and on the effects on the stock market.

Syftet med studien är att med utgångspunkt från tidigare forskning och teorier undersöka moderbolagets aktiekursutveckling i samband med nyhet om Spin-off. Studiens fokus ligger på hur reaktionen ser ut på kort sikt. För att undersöka detta genomförs en eventstudie där fem olika tidsperioder runt nyhetens tillkännagivande studeras. Det framtagna resultatet kommer sedan att återkopplas till relevanta teorier rörande ämnet samt jämföras med tidigare utförd forskning. Sammanfattningsvis konstateras det att en överkastning uppstår under den studerade perioden [1998-01-01 - 2008-05-01].

Sweden is one of five nations in the world manufacturing fighter aircrafts. Highly advanced technology is needed in order to develop a fighter aircraft. When developing advanced technology, new applications, other than those initially intended occur, Spin-off. Some of Sweden?s largest companies are Spin-offs from the fighter aircraft industry.

This thesis is about university Spin-offs and the competition in high technology industries. In the light of efforts to increase the competitiveness of the European Union, an effective transfer of cutting edge technology from universities to the industry plays an important role. University Spin-offs, start-ups founded to exploit academic inventions, are likely to face considerable market entry barriers. This is among other reasons due to high capital requirements for further technology development and lack of complementary resources. With a combination of relevant literature and empirical investigation, commercialisation of technologies within Spin-offs is investigated and analysed.

Denna uppsats är en eventstudie av fenomenet Spin-off, som innebär att en del av ett bolag eller ett dotterbolag görs självständigt och börsintroduceras. De nya aktierna delas ut gratis till moderbolagets aktieägare. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka de motiv som svenska bolag angivit till en Spin-off och att med hjälp av marknadsmodellen undersöka bolagens avvikelseavkastning vid tillkännagivandet av en planerad Spin-off. Dessutom studeras marknadens reaktion på det slutgiltiga beslutet vid bolagsstämman. För att se om det fanns ett samband mellan marknadens förväntningar och bolagens motiv genomfördes två regressionsanalyser.

Företag förlitar sig ofta på datalager som aggregerar information från flera källor och över tiden. Dessa datalager är ofta centrala för beslutsfattande inom företagen, både kortsiktiga operativa beslut och långsiktiga strategiska. Eftersom information är en färskvara blir det allt viktigare att de dagliga laddningsrutinerna för datalagren fungerar. Denna rapport avser att analysera möjligheten att applicera principen model checking för en validering. Praktiskt avses att på ett automatiserat sätt använda Promela och Spin som verktyg för att validera att laddningsrutinerna för datalagret är korrekta..

Development in Spin dynamic occurs in the whole world because of therising demands on fast electronic storage for example hard drivesand RAM (Random Access Memory). Measuring the Spin resonance of amaterial gives you the insight of the theoretical speed for amagnetic memory. This means the maximum storage speed is below thefirst resonance. All magnetic materials have different propertiesthat will inflict the resonance frequency which brings that theconstructors of memories need to know which magnetic material theywill use to obtain best results. In the market for normal users themaximum storage speed in a RAM memory is 1.6 GHz.

Aim With this study we want to highlight and analyze the media Spin of the PR campaign Miss Skinny by clarifying; a diffusion pattern which covers posts published by bloggers and journalists; a framing pattern from the first audited post to the last; how journalists are influenced by user generated content, and what consequences this may have for the news coverage.Method We have conducted a studied of news posts and blog posts about the Swedish PR campaign Miss Skinny through content analysis, diffusion analysis and mapped direct links between blog posts and news posts.Main result We found that a surprisingly large amount of news postings contained direct links to previous blog posts and that the former media serial no longer can be applied on today's modern media where journalists and other players come together on the converged media arena. .

Bakgrund: Monaurala lågredundanta taltester används, tillsammans med andra tester i testbatterier, för att undersöka centrala auditiva funktioner. Testgrupper som ingår i monaurala lågredundanta taltester är: lågpassfiltrerade taltester, tal-i-brus tester och tidskomprimerade taltester.Syfte: Syftet var att ta reda på vilka monaurala lågredundanta taltester som finns och vilka resultat man kan få på dessa.Metod: Litteraturstudie där experimentella studier har använts.Resultat: De monaurala lågredundanta taltester som har använts i de studerade artiklarna är filtrerat tal, meningar-i-brus, ord-i-brus, taluppfattning-i-brus, tal-i-brus, Spin, R-Spin, SSI/MCI, SSI/ICM, SIN, tidskomprimerade ord med olika kompressionsgrader, hackat tal, The Compressed Sentence Test och SCAN-A, SCAN-C med undertesterna Auditory Figure Ground och filtrerade ord. Försökspersoner med hörselnedsättning får signifikant sämre resultat än normalhörande på många av testerna. Barn får sämre resultat på flera av testerna jämfört med vuxna.Slutsatser: Det finns många olika monaurala lågredundanta taltester. De valda artiklarna tar upp fler monaurala lågredundanta taltester än vad som nämns i använd referenslitteratur..

This master thesis has been written in collaboration with Science Park Jönköping and is based on a problem related to corporate innovation. Science Park Jönköping believes that there is an untapped potential in existing industry in the form of ideas that are never commercialized. These theories are also supported in the research in which other authors have perceived that the ideas and inventions which do not belong to the core business risk ending up in drawers. If more of these ideas could be Spin-offs or other forms of enterprise instead of staying in the drawers it would lead to growth, both for companies and for the society in large.The purpose of the thesis work is to, based on the case Science Park Jönköping, analyze how science parks and incubators can support the commercialization of ideas that derive from industry, who otherwise had been left lying. The work began with a mapping of the Science Park Jönköping operations and the skills they possess, and then other initiatives that aim to commercialize more ideas from companies were examined.

Uppsatsen tar en utgångspunkt i Dahls pluralistiska demokratimodells syn på information som centralt i det demokratiska samhället. Politisk PR (Spin) problematiseras utifrån detta och en rad krav på journalistiken sätts upp. Metakommunikation, som den presenteras av Frank Esser m.fl., ses som ett bot mot en del av den demokratirelaterade problematik som politisk PR innebär. Innehållsanalys utförs på svenskt pressmaterial för att se om rapporteringen kring organisationen Greenpeace är metakommunicerad..
