The key aim of the current paper is to analyse the plausibility of a pricing model for temperature weather derivatives. The historical data are studied in order to propose a stochastic process that describes temperature dynamics in three Swedish cities. The prices of the contracts in an incomplete market of weather derivatives are obtained using a constant positive market price of risk of a benchm
Organiseringen av välfärdstjänster i specialiserade och byråkratiska myndigheter är ett arv från den svenska modellen som byggdes upp i Sverige efter andra världskriget. I takt med att samhället har förändrats anses denna organisering inte ha den helhetssyn som krävs för att lösa komplexa samhällsproblem. Som ett svar på förändrade samhällskrav initieras därför ofta samverkan mellan myndigheter. U
De senaste åren har funktionaliteten för mobiltelefoner förändrats avsevärt. En ny kategori av enheter, så kallade smarta mobiltelefoner, har flyttat mobiltelefonens användningsområde allt närmre persondatorer. Detta inte minst genom att erbjuda möjligheter för tredje part att utveckla egna applikationer, appar, för plattformen. Tidigare har designprinciper använts för att vägleda utvecklare av an
The aim of this essay was to examine women who had their first child in the ages of 18-19 years old and their experiences of being a young mother in the Helsingborg municipality and to examine if there is any support for these women in the Helsingborg municipality. The method was based on a qualitative study with semi-structured interviews with three mothers and two professional social workers. Th
The main purpose of this study was to examine how femininity is constructed in Swedish women’s magazines. The purpose was also to study whether there was a hegemonic discourse in the magazine. This presumes that femininity is a social construction, which is why the study was based on a social constructionist perspective and it´s method was discourse analysis. More specifically the essay investigat
This essay presents a perspective in which knowledge is to be understood as abilities of the nervous system. Classic epistemology has not been able to shed sufficient light on a large number of conundrums that arise from its analyses on human belief, which motivates a different approach. An introductory discussion herein argues for a new naturalistic principle concerning what I have termed ‘congru
I och med teknisk utveckling har nya forskningsfält uppkommit som sociologer måste undersöka för att förstå samhället och nutida kultur. Genom internet kan individer interagera med varandra i realtid oavsett var de befinner sig. Det tidsfördriv som denna uppsats ämnar att undersöka är datorspelandet. Det sätt som spelarna använder sig av för att visa sitt missnöje är via text, vilket denna uppsats
The aim of this study is to examine norms about gender and sexuality, expressed and reproduced in relation between young people based on sex education in the danish primary school. By norm-critical approach the aim is to show how visability can challenge the binary idea of gender together with heteronormativity and open up to alternative views of gender and sexuality. The main empirical material c
Begging - A study about how begging is constructed as a social problem. The aim of this study was to investigate and analyze how ‘begging’ is constructed as a social problem in the Swedish society. According to the social constructivism perspective, our understanding of a social problem is constructed through a collective process. Therefore I chose to analyze the claims-making activity in the con
Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur män utsatta för våld i nära relationer framställer och talar om sina upplevelser. Hur konstruerar männen sin situation, sina partners och sig själva i sina berättelser? Vi studerar hur männens framställningar samspelar med den samhälleliga diskursen om våld i nära relationer, vilken ofta förmedlar en bild av mannen som förövare och kvinnan som offer. Män s
The increasingly competitive climate has caused companies to pursue counteractive strategies such as M&As in the hope to attain synergy potential. However, M&As are associated with a high failure rate and synergy realization is often unsuccessful. One area poorly covered in previous literature and often unattended by merging parties is synergies within logistics, despite its significance f
Retroaktivitetsförbudet inom skatterätten instiftades 1980 och innebär ett förbud mot att införa skattelag med retroaktiv verkan. Inspirationen kom från straffrätten i vilken principen om förbud mot retroaktiv lag länge hade varit förhärskande. Retroaktivitetsförbudet har med sin ställning som grundlag hög formell status i det svenska rättsväsendet vilket borde borga för att både domstolar och la
In Sweden, implementation of one-to-one computing in schools is a very current subject, because more and more schools decide to make an implementation. The goals are to improve the study results of the students and in a higher degree be able to individualize the education after the needs of every pupil. The purpose of this thesis is to study how an implementation of one-to-one computing will affe
The purpose of this thesis is to further the understanding of the interaction between museum architecture and the daily operation of the museum, eg the exhibitions, work shops and other activities and how this affect the way we may understand the function of a museum. I have used Norman Faircloughs critical discourse analysis to analyse several articles concerning the resent construction of two mu
