This thesis investigates the effects of active ownership on the return on assets (ROA) of Swedish listed companies during the years 2003 to 2013. Active ownership is operationalized based on the probabilistic voting model that is used to calculate the minimum amount of shares the largest shareholder needs in order to possess control of a contested vote at the shareholder meeting. We study the three largest lists on the Nasdaq OMX Stockholm, having 1454 observations from 207 companies to test our hypothesis. The main result from the study is that there's a significant positive relationship between active ownership and ROA during the investigated period. The active owners' relative strength also proves to have a significant positive relationship to ROA..

Studiens syfte var att beskriva orsaker till korttidssjukfrånvaro 1-7 dagar hos kommun-anställda. Vidare undersöktes om det fanns någon skillnad av angiven orsak mellan två perioder samt om det fanns någon skillnad mellan kön, ålder och förvaltning när det gäller sjukanmälningsorsak dag 1-7. Studiegruppen bestod av anställda inom en västsvensk kommun med 1910 anställda. Metoden var en kvantitativ tvärsnittstudie med deskriptiv design. Datainsamlingen skedde med hjälp av registrering angående sjukanmälningsorsak via telefonkontakt med företagshälsovården.

Report of diploma work conducted at the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) as part of the bachelors program in Nuclear Engineering at Uppsala University.All nuclear power plants in Sweden are obliged to report any deficiency in their barriers or the defense in depth in obedience to SSM?s regulations concerning safety in nuclear facilities. In addition, there is an international system for reporting such events. The purpose of this thesis is to study the Swedish report system and to analyze the differences between Swedish and international event reporting.In the Swedish system, SSM?s regulations are effectuated by means of event reports classified as category 1-3, designed individually at each Swedish facility.

The Swedish retail business has been characterized by a small number of ruling distributors. These distributors have been affected negatively by the internationalization which has made it possible for international distributors to establish their stores in the Swedish market. These international distributors are focused on low price stores. Their establishment on the Swedish market has led to a decrease in market shares for the Swedish distributors, which has damaged their profitability. Another change that has affected the Swedish distributors is that the behavior and needs of the customers has changed.

The debate in the media on a new Swedish sex education movie sparked our interest in this study. The twenty-eight minutes long movie ?Sex on the map? is the first of it?s kind in twenty-five years. It is also part of a bigger sex educational project that contains, apart from the movie, a book about sex education, a documentary and a teachers guide. The project is a co-production between the Swedish Educational Broadcasting Company (UR) and the Swedish Association for Sexuality Education (RFSU).We were interested in how teachers received information about the project, and what their attitudes were towards it.

This essay represents a chronological and contextual analysis of clay pipes that have been found in the urban settlement of Västergarn during seminary excavations between 2006 ? 2012, conducted by Gotland University. Clay pipes can be dated closely and are useful means for dating and interpreting archaeological contexts from the early modern period, such as house foundations. There have been excavated four house foundations in Västergarn with different sorts of clay pipes dating to the post-medieval period. Can they tell which people used them or which country they were produced? By discussing the meaning of clay pipes in early modern society on Gotland this essay tries to answer these questions..

The aim of the project was to study the effect of oral administration of glucose and leucin on the resynthesis of muscle glycogen after intense exercise in Standardbred trotters. In a crossover design, 11 Standardbred trotters performed a standardized exercise test on two occasions in order to deplete muscle glycogen. The exercise test comprised a warm up period, 7 repeated bouts of exercise on an uphill 500 m slope, and a recovery period. After the exercise test horses received: 1) a solution of glucose and leucine via a nasogastric tube at 0 minutes and at 240 minutes post exercise and a single bout of glucose at 120 minutes post exercise or 2) water (placebo) at 0, 120 and 240 minutes. Blood samples for measurement of glucose and insulin concentrations were collected at rest, when the horses returned to the stables directly after exercise and throughout the 6 hour recovery phase. During the first recovery hour, samples were collected every 15 minutes and then every 30 minutes over the next 5 hours.

Issuing convertible bonds for financing purposes has never become widespread practice amongst Swedish companies, in spite of the instrument being common in international markets. Economic theory based on efficient markets suggests that companies should gain no financial benefits from using convertibles and the Swedish situation could be interpreted as in line with this reasoning. However, there are Swedish companies that have chosen to issue convertibles and the Swedish market therefore seems both supportive and contradictory to the existence of benefits of convertible bond financing. Little research concerning the Swedish market has been conducted and the purpose of this explorative thesis is thus to enhance the understanding of the Swedish market for convertibles. This is achieved by conducting in-depth interviews with six listed Swedish companies that have recently issued convertible bonds.

The aim of the study was to examine whether parental leave can serve as capacitating period in life. More specifically our aim was to get a deeper comprehension of the abilities and competencies developed through parental leave and how these can be of use to the individual when at work. 12 semistructured interviews were conducted with employees from a large organization in the south of Sweden. The results were analyzed using a hermeneutic approach. The results of the study show that competencies and abilities such as effectiveness, organizing, multitasking, leader abilities, communication, sensitivity, limiting skills, mindfulness, acceptance, self-confidence and life balance were enhanced during parental leave.

Måleriet Chassi på Scania CV AB i Södertälje är en stödenhet som producerar kundanpassade artiklar till huvudproduktionslinan. Efterfrågan på dessa artiklar har varit och är högre än Måleriet Chassis kapacitet. Detta har lett till att lastbilar som skulle producerats vid anläggningen i Södertälje har producerats på andra fabriker inom Scania koncernen. Därför önskar ledande personal på Måleriet Chassi att öka kapaciteten utan några större investeringar. Således har detta examensarbete fokuserat på att identifiera ett förbättringsförslag som ökar kapaciteten.För att lyckas öka kapaciteten har fokus legat på att identifiera bättre regler för bestämmande av satsstorlekar.

I detta examensarbetet undersöks hur provningen av HVAC på lastbilar skall utföras iklimatvindtunneln CD7 som Scania färdigställer till år 2013. HVAC omfattar kupéuppvärmning,ventilation samt AC och har därmed en stor betydelse för klimatkomforten inne i lastbilshytten.Med klimatvindtunneln CD7 kommer olika tester att kunna utföras i en kontrollerad miljö medallt från ökenklimat till snöig vinter. De nya möjligheterna som kommer med klimatvindtunnelnCD7 är även anledningen till att en ny provmetodik behöver undersökas och tas fram.Studien föreslår fyra stycken provmetoder för HVAC samt en struktur för dokumentationen.Provmetoderna som har valts fokuserar på sol-, regn- och snösimuleringar. Dessa provmetoder ärbaserade efter vad som kan samt bör testas i CD7, vilket är en del av syftet med examensarbetet.Solsimuleringar har i empirin visat sig vara bland de mest förekommande proven när det gällertestning av HVAC och klimatkomfort.Provmetoderna syftar till att skapa en utgångspunkt för konstruktörer och testingenjörer vidutformningen av prover. Det gör testningen repetitiv samtidigt som tid sparas genom attdokumenterat underlag finns att tillgå.En av målsättningarna med examensarbetet har varit att studien ska användas förvidareutveckling av provmetoder för HVAC på Scania.
