Previous research findings suggest that our decisions are affected by the language they are made in. A recent study however indicates that this phenomenon might be related to an unexpected switch of language prior to a decision rather than to the use of a foreign language as such. To investigate this phenomenon further, the decision preferences of 200 participants, fluent in Swedish and English, w
The thesis focuses on the issue of sexual harassment against female workers in the readymade garment sectors of Bangladesh (RMGs). The study looks at this issue from the employers' perspective and it aims to shed light on: i) their acknowledgement of this problem, ii) their approach towards it. The thesis is a qualitative conducted study where interviews were used as a data collection tool. Fe
Contest-based crowdsourcing is a popular method for companies to gather ideas or information in a creative way, and the contestants’ motivations to participate in such competitions are not the same. Different factors influence the willingness of contestants to participate in contests. Yet these motives are not applicable to all types of crowdsourcing. This paper investigates the motivations and fi
A water jet is a propulsion system for vessels. The principle of water jet is to admit water into the hull, then add head to the water via the impeller and then let the water go through a guide vane package and then discharge it at the stern. The reaction force will bring the vessel into motion.
KaMeWa Group, a Vickers company who manufactures water jet propulsion systems, initiated the work.
This study shows how six different European forests react during the summer to abnormally warm temperatures, from 1996 to 2006. With the forecasted increase of summer temperatures over Europe, the carbon balance of forests – photosynthesis (GPP), ecosystem respiration and Net Ecosystem Exchange - in likely to change. In this thesis, the photosynthesis and the respiration of six European forests w
Climate change has adverse impact on people’s lives and millions are forced away from their habitual residence because of it. Most experts agree that our standard of living is to blame for such environmental consequences. If not stronger measures are introduced; the situation will deteriorate. The purpose of this essay is to explore if existing legal instruments can be used to protect environmenta
Abstract: Interest conflicts has been a major issue when it comes to urban planning especially when it comes to traffic planning. The purpose of this thesis is to identify these conflicts and why they appear in the planning process. The aim of the research is to evaluate what can be done in order to ensure that these conflicts does not affect the planning of sustainable cities in a dissatisfactory
The main part of this work consists of the developing of software support. The lack of such support is the main problem with micro computers, independent of the hardware realization. The cross assembler developed, having a PDP 11 as host computer and KMV-version 2 as target computer, will be a great help when writing assembler programs, while the macro assembler raises the language to a higher lev
A knife is a tool which is used for both in- and outdoor purposes. Although wearing a knife in public areas is criminalized by Swedish law, the regulation includes several reservations about dispensations of judgement if the wearing is considered to be legitimated. The purpose of this study is to investigate and discuss the potential difficulties with the legal practice of the prohibition of knife
Syftet med studien är att undersöka den anormala avkastningen hos börsintroduktioner på Stockholmsbörsen, mellan år 2000 och 2011, jämfört med ett relevant branschindex. Författarna undersöker sedan huruvida det finns något signifikant samband mellan ett antal utvalda variabler och erhållen BHAR. Förhoppningen är att studien kan bidra med ny kunskap inom aktuellt område, samt fungera som inspirati
Organic micropollutants comprise a diverse set of molecules, varying both with regard to the frequency of their use, as well as the potential harm they can inflict upon aquatic ecosystems. Ozonation has been recognized as an efficient method for their abatement, due to its ability to selectively oxidize molecular groups commonly found on organic molecules. Micropollutants are, however, rarely degr
This study contributes to the literature discussing food security in China. This study holds food security to rest on two complementary dimensions: food availability and food accessibility. This study looks at both dimensions. It examines the food availability dimension by evaluating the effects of government’s expenditures on agricultural science & technology on China’s grain output. Running
In this thesis a model for valuing an arbitrary collateralized loan obligation (CLO) is implemented. A CLO is a structured credit product whose performance relies on a pool of corporate loans. Valuation in the context of this thesis is the price on a CLO security and the distribution for the price. The major driver behind the performance of the loan pool is the default distribution among obligors.
This study investigates code-switching by Swedish English speakers in text-based online discourse. Although many studies have been devoted to CS and some to text-based online discourse, there is a gap in research regarding Swedish English CS in this context. This study fills the gap using comments from Swedish YouTube short-form videos, which were placed into 6 categories based on what the switch

BACKGROUND: Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT) reduces relapse rates in acute leukemia, but outcome is hampered by toxicity. Population-based data avoid patient selection and may therefore substitute for lack of randomized trials. METHODS: We evaluated alloSCT rates within the Swedish Acute Leukemia Registry, including 3899 adult patients diagnosed from 1997 through 2006 with a coverag
Summary of the information given at the staff meetings on 22 August 1 Summary of the information given at the staff meetings on 22 August The same information was given at the three staff meetings. The floor was then opened for questions. Vice-Dean Karin Hall provided the following information: On 25 September, the Faculty Board will decide for or against a co-organisation. Today I would like to t
SUMMARY: PopGLen is a Snakemake workflow for performing population genomic analyses within a genotype-likelihood framework, integrating steps for raw sequence processing of both historical and modern DNA, quality control, multiple filtering schemes, and population genomic analysis. Currently, the population genomic analyses included allow for estimating linkage disequilibrium, kinship, genetic div
We use individual-level income data from archived taxation lists to study top-income earners in Sweden from 1909 to 1950. Using information on 21,055 individual taxpayers in two elite areas in greater Stockholm, we show that top incomes fell in real terms over this period, at a stable pace without obvious connection to the Great Depression or the world wars. The peak of inequality was related to tWe use individual-level income data from archived taxation lists to study top-income earners in Sweden from 1909 to 1950.
