This study put together a well established statistical model which estimates the expected number of goals being scored in football games in the Swedish 1 division (the third tier). The model is based on a Poisson regression and makes it possible to calculate the relative strength between two teams in terms of how many goals they are expected to score.

In this master thesis the load effect factors for 448 fictitious bridges, with different modes, have been examined. All analysis has been carried out in a finite element program. Bridge types that have been investigated are composite bridges and concrete beam bridges with a single beam, referred to as single beam bridges. For the analysis the main difference between the two bridge types is that to
Idag vårdas 10 % av alla patienterna på vårdavdelning till följd av vårdrelaterad smitta, ofta relaterat till ofullständig handhygien, vilket leder till onödigt lidande för patienterna och extra vårdkostnader. Sjuksköterskor har ett stort ansvar då de arbetar nära patienter varje dag. Syftet med studien var att beskriva betydelsen av följsamhet samt konsekvenser avseende sjuksköterskans handhygien
Den här magisteruppsatsen är baserad på en översättning av den italienska bilderboken Antonia e le bottiglie di Morandi, som i sin tur är inspirerad av den svenska förlagan Linnéa i målarens trädgård. Uppsatsen består av en källtextanalys enligt metoden i Vägar genom texten av Hellspong och Ledin (1997). Därefter följer överväganden inför översättningen med val av strategier som behandlas i boken
Value at Risk is a commonly used risk measure which calculates the smallest losses you risk to lose from having an asset, given a certain risk level and time period. Even though Value at Risk is applicable to all different types of assets, some studies suggest that this risk measure is not suitable for developing countries/emerging markets. This is because these countries’ assets generate very obs

Foraminiferer förekommer i marina sediment i världens hav och utgör en värdefull proxymetod för att rekonstruera vattendjup, strömmar, produktivitet och syrenivån vid djuphavsmassor. Valet av storleksfraktion som används när studier på bentiska djuphavs-foraminiferer utförs har visat sig ha betydelse när ekologisk fauna vid upvällningsregioner studeras. En genomgång av tidigare studier har visat aForaminifera are abundant in the marine sediment in all of the worlds’s oceans and offer a valuable proxy method to reconstruct water depth, circulation, productivity and deep water aeration. The choice of size fraction used when studying benthic foraminifera in upwelling areas are important. A review of 15 earlier studies where benthic foraminifera has been analysed, has shown that there are diff
