Numerous past studies investigating the performance of hedge funds suffer from two distinct problems: unreliable and biased return data inherent in virtually all databases and the use of static asset-pricing models. Using “indexes of indexes” for our hedge fund returns, both free of biases and highly representative, we investigate which risk factors investors are exposed to and whether hedge fund
The pedagogic purposes and ambitions of both museums and archives are in many ways alike. Their intentions and purposes as institutions in our society are also in many ways very similar to each other, not at least when it comes to the fact that they are both working towards preserving and communicating our cultural heritage and our history. Still though the museums are much better known, recognize
Lojalitet är ett ämne som är aktuellt idag och har även varit så tidigare. Definitionerna av lojalitet är många och i Sverige har vi lagstiftat om arbetstagarens lojalitetsplikt mot arbetsgivaren. Lojalitet beskrivs som en känsla som kan anta genuin eller formell form och kan manifesteras på många olika sätt. Individen, organisationen och samhället runt individen dikterar hur denne manifesterar si
Finding a meaningful life for residents with dementia - a qualitative study based on caregivers perspectives The aim of the essay was to study how the caregivers in an accommodation can give a resident with the diagnosis dementia, a meaningful and active existence. The aim was also to find out when shifting housing is timely for the resident. We have focused on two kinds of accommodations; one fo
Underhållsverksamheten på Roslagståg kan ses som reaktiv och reparationsorienterad. För att kunna ta nästa steg i utvecklingen av ett mer proaktivt och funktionssäkerhetsorienterat underhåll bör följande åtgärder genomföras: Den övergripande målsättningen med underhållet bör förändras till att fokusera på ökad driftsäkerhet och ökad kostnadseffektivitet. Detta för att skapa långsiktighet och belys
The goal of this paper is to examine various representations of the third tone in Standard Chinese, both in academic literature and textbooks for beginners, and then evaluate what consequences the choice of representation has for tone instruction. It was found that linguists primarily prefer two models, even though slight deviations were found: either a traditional approach describing the third to
This Master Thesis has as purpose to provide information about the automotive industry. The perspective is from the stainless steel wire producer Sandvik Materials Technology Wire. The Network Approach, as formulated by the International Marketing and Purchasing Group, serves as theoretical base for the thesis. The study concerns the general trends in the automotive industry as a whole. A deeper e
Every year about 1400 students in Sweden leave elementary school without grades high enough to begin high school. It is a fact that the risk of ending up with psychosocial problems increases without a high school education. The intention with this paper is to study how a special method called EDUQ can help troubled youths to get back to school and stay out of trouble. To collect the data to this p
"Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is today a well-established method in clinics around the world. For example it is a leading method or diagnosing ischaemic stroke at an early stage. Trough research it is a continuously growing field applicable to many different tasks. Alternatively, the diffusion MRI can be used for morphologic studies by the use of q-space analysis. q-space imag
Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to study if and how Swedish accounting regulation create misunderstandings between Swedish aid agencies and stakeholders. Further we are going to analyze if there is a need to improve Swedish accounting regulation to increase faith between the agency and its stakeholders. Methodology: The study is based on a qualitative approach and the primary sources consis
Titel: Patient vs. Kund - En studie angående möjligheten att tillämpa benämningen kund istället för patient på akutsjukvårdens vårdsökare Nivå: Kandidatuppsats, Institutionen för Service Management Författare: Hanna Holgersson, Malin Mörkeberg och Sanna Danielsson Handledare: Lars Nordgren och Johan Alvehus Nyckelord: Patient, Kund, Värde, Delaktighet, Bemötande, Valfrihet och Medbestämmande Probl
Problem och Syfte: Vi lever idag i ett masskonsumtionssamhälle som påverkar miljön och naturen på ett negativt sätt. Det vetenskapliga problem som denna uppsats kommer att behandla är varför konsumenter väljer att konsumera mode genom alternativa konsumtionsformer. Vårt syfte med denna uppsats är att genom en fallstudie på Klädoteket undersöka konsumenters vilja till hållbar konsumtion. Frågeställ
Syftet med denna fallstudie var att undersöka hur arbetsmotivationen ser ut hos anställda på ett företag som befinner sig i en avvecklingsprocess. Det studerade företaget var Barsebäck Kraft Aktiebolag. Eventuella samband undersöktes mellan arbetsmotivation och framtidsvisshet samt mellan arbetsmotivation och de demografiska variablerna ålder och antal anställda år på företaget. Genom en surveyund
The field of particle physics is ever evolving. With the recent advent of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) it is possible that the long sought for Higgs boson is detected. While this is not certain even if it is found it is likely that it will need more precise methods of investigation. For this and other reasons, a new collider called the International Linear Collider (ILC) is being planned. This
Zirkon (ZrSiO4) och baddeleyit (ZrO2) är två vanliga zirkoniuminnehållande mineral som båda är viktiga för U-Pb-geokronologi. Zirkon är stabilt under kiselmättade förhållanden medan baddeleyit under kiselmättade förhållanden torde reagera med det tillgängliga kislet och bilda zirkon. Trots detta har baddeleyit observerats som interna domäner i zirkon i kiselmättade bergarter från exempelvis sydväsZircon (ZrSiO4) and baddeleyite (ZrO2) are two common zirconium bearing minerals which are important for U-Pb geochronology. Zircon is stable at silica saturated conditions, while baddeleyite should react with the free silica to form zircon under the same conditions. Yet, baddeleyite have been observed as intergrowths within zircon grains in silica saturated rocks, e.g. from southern West Greenlan
In this paper we calculate the limit of the $L^1$-means of certain weighted Poisson kernels in the unit disc and show that this limit is equal to $1$. Our result is in sharp contrast to a recent result by George F\"ulep who has shown that some related limit superiors are strictly greater than $1$. Limits of this type are of interest from the point of view of approximation theory.
