This study analyses the interest rate setting policy of the Swedish central bank, the Riksbank. In particular, the paper addresses whether or not the Riksbank reacts to deviations in asset prices from trend levels when setting interest rates. To investigate these issues a modified version of the Taylor rule is used, and is adjusted to reflect an appropriate inflation targeting horizon and augmente
Within the scope of this project, investigations were made into the possibility of replacing Electron Beam Lithography (EBL) with NanoImprint Lithography (NIL) for creating arrays of gold dots on substrates, with the aim of nanowire growth. The attempted nano wires grown were aimed to be of use in the field of biotechnology. The main focus and aim of this project has been to perfect a fabrication
In this thesis, the question of how to balance the right to reindeer herding against competing interests of land use in Sápmi in accordance with the indigenous rights of the Sami, will be examined. In order to answer this question other questions needs to be answered – What is the right to reindeer herding? Who is the holder of the right? Where can the right be exercised and finally, how can the rIn this thesis, the question of how to balance the right to reindeer herding against competing interests of land use in Sápmi in accordance with the indigenous rights of the Sami, will be examined. In order to answer this question other questions needs to be answered – What is the right to reindeer herding? Who is the holder of the right?

The interaction between living groups A, C and G streptococci and IgG Fc was studied using human IgG, IgG Fc and IgG Fc-intermediate (Fci) fragments, chemically modified human IgG and fragment D of staphylococcal protein A (SPA). Diethylpyrocarbonate modification of His or N-acetylimidazole modification of Tyr of human IgG resulted in the loss of its capacity to inhibit the binding of radiolabelle
4.690 migrants have lost their lives in the Mediterranean this year, making 2016 once again set a tragic record and the Mediterranean account for more than three fourths of all registered migrant casualties worldwide. In his most recent book chapter, “The Perfect Storm: Sovereignty Games and the Law and Politics of Boat Migration”, Research Director and Professor Thomas Gammeltoft-Hansen argues t
Historically, animals have been excluded from the realms of political theory and political science. The underpinning disposition of this thesis is that animals belong in politics, considering it is the political processes and ideologies that determine our treatment of animals. The European Union started to legislate on the protection and welfare of farm animals during the 1970s. Over time, a slow
According to results of a recent literature search performed by the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (EADV) Task Forces (TF) on Quality of Life and Patient Oriented Outcomes (QoL and PO) and Acne, Rosacea and Hidradenitis Suppurativa (ARHS), most of the publications where health-related (HR) QoL of acne patients was studied were clinical trials. Members of the EADV TF on QoL and PO
The pseudo-rapidity dependence of the elliptic flow at various excitation energies measured by the PHOBOS Collaboration in Au+Au collisions at RHIC is one of the surprising results that has not been explained before in terms of hydrodynamical models. Here we show that these data are in agreement with theoretical predictions based on perfect fluid hydrodynamics. We also show that these PHOBOS data
The fact that Jane Austen composed and edited her novels during two eventful decades in Britain’s history excites an interest to investigate if this has affected the creation of her characters. This thesis explores whether Austen’s heroes develop in accordance with a shift in masculine ideals that can be discerned around the turn of the nineteenth century. The masculine ideal for gentlemen can be
Mangrove forests are highly productive and vital ecosystems within the tropical and subtropical latitudes. They are considered biodiversity hot spots and hosts ha vast variety of species, both terrestrial and marine, and they are also found to be one of the most productive carbon pools in the world. Mangroves additionally provide coastal communities with timber but also important shelter from tsun
The sports industry is one of the most challenging and constantly evolving industries, yet simultaneously, the smaller and medium-sized clubs face a severe challenge of competing against the biggest and best-known brands in the world. The sports literature is limited to marketing and studying global mega-brands; this thesis addresses the gap in strategic management literature concerning both sport
In this study I investigate how relative clauses in MSA effect the temporal properties of the verb form known as Perfect. Comrie (1976), and later Fassi Fehri (2004), describe the Perfect as having the properties of anteriority and perfectivity, i.e. it reports a finished situation temporally anterior either to the time of speech or to some other point in time. My hypotheses is that the Perfect in
Syftet med förevarande framställning är att utifrån en komparativ studie av svensk och australiensisk rätt beskriva och jämföra hur respektive land reglerar barnets bästa i vårdnadsmål. Både i svensk och i australiensisk rätt förekommer begreppet barnets bästa och i båda länderna görs en in casu bedömning vid bestämmandet av vad som är bäst för barnet. Utformningen av lagstiftningen skiljer sig eThe purpose of this essay is that of describing and comparing the Swedish regulation of the concept the best interests of the child in cases concerning legal custody with the Australian regulation of the same concept in cases concerning parental responsibility. Both Sweden and Australia have a legislation that regulates the best interests of the child and in both countries the decision of what is
Over time, different trends have been spotted in how companies decide to locate their businesses. From the gradual rise of more offshoring of operations, to the recent increase in popularity of returning business domestically again. The topic has also received much recognition academically, with focus often placed on the factors that lead to locational competitive advantages - attributes that diff
This report describes the development of a manufacturing process for creating custom-made prosthetic arm sockets using 3D scanning and 3D printing. The process is intended to function as a guide for a prosthetist without requiring an extensive experience in CAD. The project aims to offer a viable alternative to the often time consuming and manual labour-intensive conventional manufacturing method,
