The study investigates the relationship between offshoring activities and the financial performance of manufacturing firms. The study also investigates the impact of the Euro crisis in combination with offshoring activities.

Thermal actions have a signicant eect on bridge structures and can at some sections account for more than 20% of the reinforcement. Such actions are especially important in certain types of concrete bridges, e.g. portal frame bridges. Thermal actions dier from other load types considered during bridge design through being a constraining load. A temperature prole can be divided into a uniform part

When developing software today, we still use old tools and ideas. Maybe it is time to start from scratch and try tools and languages that are more in line with how we actually want to develop software. The Go Programming Language was created at Google by a rather famous trio: Rob Pike, Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer. Before introducing Go, the company suffered from their development process no

Syfte: Syftet med studien är att initialt undersöka om anomalin, att börsintroduktioner tycks underprestera på lång sikt, finns på den svenska marknaden. Därefter kommer en ansats göras att försöka förklara urvalet av börsintroduktioners prestation på lång sikt. Frågeställningar: Frågor som besvaras är: Underpresterar börsintroduktioner gjorda på Aktietorget under tidsperioden 2005-2010 på lång

Uppsatsen analyserar byggkostnaders inverkan på husprisutvecklingen i tre svenska storstadsområden mellan 1991 och 2012. Studien undersöker om stigande byggkostnader är hämmande för produktions- och utbudsnivån på lång sikt genom att titta på dess effekt på husprisutvecklingen. Med Engle & Grangers metod undersöks sambandet på lång och kort sikt mellan huspriser, byggkostnader, inkomst, ränta,

The ability for a damaged structure to withstand progressive collapse is often referred to as robustness. A robust building is characterized by the fact that the consequence of local damage is never more severe than the initial event. The way in which structural robustness is approached in the design of a building differs a great deal from one structural engineer to another. For a structure in con

Food security is an important factor contributing to the socio-economic stabilization and development of Bangladesh. Though, the country has made a steady progress in the expansion of food production, but food insecurity is still a major problem mainly because of poverty. Various development strategies aimed at eliminating poverty are now combining the microcredit as one of the key sectors in thei

Building interaction prototypes for ubiquitous computing is inherently difficult, since it involves a number of different devices and systems. Prototyping is an important step in developing and evaluating interaction concepts. The ideal prototyping methodology should offer high fidelity at a relatively low cost. This thesis describes the development of interaction concepts for controlling consume

This thesis examines the ideologies and moral values regarding sexuality and gender within the United States national realm of Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR); and furthermore what how these ideologies and morals are translated into development policy.

This thesis presents findings from a study about the challenges international master’s degree students have to undergo when they decide to study at Lund University, a university situated in the South of Sweden. The study involved interviews of 7 international students from different national backgrounds. Emerging from the analysis is the perception that respondents have to face several identity ch

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. The study is based on data from 1092 games and

The purpose of this essay has been to examine which ideal image lies ahead for men to identify with, concerning appearance and status as well as the main presentation of masculinity. Further the purpose was to examine whether the image of the ideal man according to today’s mass media, affect everyday men in their everyday- and lifechoices and whether it has affected their self-esteem and their sen

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

Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka om ökad kunskap och ökat intresse för EU kan öka valdeltagandet i Europaparlamentsvalet enligt svenska studenter, då det svenska valdeltagandet i Europaparlamentsvalet är väldigt lågt i förhållande till valdeltagandet i det svenska riksdagsvalet. Tidigare forskning som presenteras försöker påvisa eller dementera att det finns ett demokratiskt underskott i EU

Cultural integration has been recognized as an inevitable feature in the making of a coherent European Union, and for further approval of systematic integration. The initial cultural policy of the Union was based on normative assumptions and essentialist views on a European civilization. But issues in legitimization made for a more relativistic stance, and since the 70:ies, a more pluralistic appr
