This study aims to investigate if the sentiment expressed on Twitter has an effect on individual stock returns. We use a uniquely large data-set consisting of129 million tweets related to 31 companies over a 15-month period.

Under tjugohundratalet har Sverigedemokraterna vuxit sig ifrån den politiska periferin till att bli Sveriges tredje största parti. Vad denna utveckling beror på, eller hur den ska förstås är föremål för debatt. Aktuell forskning visar på att en avgörande del av de som sökt sig till Sverigedemokraterna var de samhällsgrupper som skadades mest av alliansregeringens ’arbetslinje’ och 2008 års finansk

Both in the media and academic circles there have been a proliferation of interest in drag queens. While the female impersonator has a long recorded history, our contemporary society’s quite public and sustained preoccupation about the subject seems to be unprecedented. Even though drag can be considered part of the Swedish pop culture, to see a man dressed in clothes that are typically attributed

This research study aims to examine the effects of economic growth on poverty reduction and income distribution in the Dominican Republic from 1992 to 2016; by employing a broad range of methodological tools used in previous country case studies on the basis of micro-level data, we develop a multidimensional approach that allows us to incorporate an inter-temporal dimension of analysis across the

The purpose of this dissertation is to examine and analyze the discourse on female prisoners in Sweden. To be sentenced to prison requires severe criminality and the lifetime sentence is the most severe conviction to criminal acts. Female prisoners are a small group (six percent of all convicted individuals in 2017) and for that reason there is limited research about these women. Therefore, this d

Fermenterade mejeriprodukter har utvecklats i flera samhällen, och idag är yoghurt den mest populära fermenterade mejeriprodukten över hela världen. En av svårigheterna med bearbetning och modellering av fermenterade mejeriprodukter är deras komplexa beteende, som orsakas av den gelstruktur som bildas under fermentering samt deras anisotropiska natur. För Tetra Pak är de enklaste reologimodellerIt is difficult to predict the flow behaviour of yoghurt during processing because it is a complex fluid that is problematic to characterise. This study correlated measurable flow properties to issues during automatic filling. Yoghurt is currently the most popular fermented dairy product world wide. The complexity of yoghurt causes its viscosity, the property describing resistance to flow, to cha

The Lundium decay station improves on the existing TASISpec spectrometer used to investigate the nuclear structure of superheavy nuclei by photon- and charged particle-spectroscopy. This thesis aims to explore the potential benefits of the future Lundium station with the augmentation of anti-Compton shields com- posed by a set of BGO scintillator bars. The effects of anti-Compton shields was in- v

According to the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), the cost of equity estimates are a function of the systematic risk relative to the market portfolio. The market portfolio is a non-observable portfolio containing all investible assets in the world. CAPM is a well-established model in practice. However, most practitioners use an equity-only proxy to calculate the estimated cost of equity. In thi

Default risk is a major source of potential losses to equity investors and the effect of default risk on stock returns have therefore been widely examined by several papers. However, whether there exists an anomalous significant relationship between default risk and stock returns is a rather unexplored subject on the Swedish market. This paper is therefore analyzing 436 firms on the Swedish market

The present study first hypothesized that women are more likely than men to seek emotional social suppor

Begun in 2010, the Lund-York-Cologne-CAlorimeter, LYCCA, collaboration is targeted at discovering exotic nuclear reaction products whilst implementing the possibility of both position tracking and measuring residual energies of relativistic particles. Each LYCCA module is composed of a double sided silicon detector and 9 CsI(Tl) detectors. This project is primarily focused on the Si detectors, the

The existence of frozen conflicts in Europe are posing difficulties in the application of international human rights treaties. This is due to, de facto governments of break-away regions not cooperating with international mechanisms and refusing to comply with regional and international instruments. The break-away regions of Transnistria and Abkhazia are such examples. Officially part of Republic o
