Trots att forskningen kring transpersoner har ökat exponentiellt de senaste decennierna så vet vi fortfarande lite om den könsbekräftande vården utanför samhällets dominerande institutioner. Utifrån gruppintervjuer och självbiografiska inslag möjliggör denna uppsats en ökad förståelse för de som utför hormonbehandlingar utanför det officiella vårdsystemet. Uppsatsen fokuserar främst på hur den sveAlthough the field of transgender studies has grown exponentially during the last decades, little is still known about gender affirmative medication outside institutionalized settings. Based on group interviews and autoethnographic accounts, this thesis sheds light on the experiences of practitioners of unprescribed hormone replacement therapy. The focus will be put on how the Swedish welfare stat

This paper examines the well documented relationship between idiosyncratic volatility and mean returns. By using the recently published quality-minus-junk factor this paper attempts to explain both the abnormal performance of portfolios sorted on idiosyncratic volatility as well as the crosssectional pricing of idiosyncratic volatility. Using data from the U.S. it is shown that the quality factor

The purpose of this study is to explore if and how working capital management impacts profitability in Swedish listed non-financial firms. This study is quantitative in nature and therefore naturally employs a deductive and positivistic approach to fulfil its defined purpose. A strongly balanced panel data set is collected using Thomson Reuters Datastream as the main source with the primary statis

This thesis aims to explore the role a private network of investors can play when addressing and investing in the Sustainable Development Goals. The network explored is the Sida facilitated network Swedish Investors for Sustainable Development. The network was created in 2016 and has since worked to increase the knowledge among the members regarding how they should invest more efficiently in the S

This study focuses on the Swedish Sex Purchase Act and their claims of help and support to prostitutes, as outlined by two propositions: Kvinnofrid (proposition 1997/98:55) and in the 10-year evaluation of the Act (SOU 2010:49). It investigates these claims through an ethnography of law method and data collected from fieldwork is interpreted and reflected through the conceptual framework of postco

Since 2010, the Danish governments have issued an annual list of disadvantaged social housing areas in Denmark, which later became known as the "ghetto list" (ghettolisten). The list categorizes social housing areas with socioeconomic problems, and where many of the residents are immigrants or descendants with non-western backgrounds. The list is accompanied by political strategies (know

Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka om investmentbolags och deras portföljbolag rapporterar om liknande aspekter i sin hållbarhetsrapportering, genom att identifiera likheter och skillnader i rapporteringen. Vidare kommer studien även undersöka varför dessa likheter och skillnader finns. Metod: Denna studie jämför hållbarhetsrapporteringen i fyra svenska investmentbolag och deras börs

The data-based verification of autonomous driving functionalities requires the detection of driving scenarios and driving styles. Driving scenarios define the tasks that the functionalities have to master, whereas the driving style has an impact on the traffic and thus the recorded traffic scenarios. In this thesis we consider two machine learning models which extract driving scenarios and driving

The aim of this study is to investigate professionals’ perception of the project Sluta skjut in Malmö, Sweden. This will be done by examining the outcomes of the project, which are identified by the professionals along with their perception of the implementation of the Group Violence Intervention strategy (GVI).

While the global foreign aid trend has shifted closer to security, the Development Assistance Committee prohibits donor countries from giving aid for military purposes or the donor countries’ security interests. Many scholars observed that several projects of Japan’s Official Development Assistance are, to a large extent, military aid or driven by national interests. In this paper, I answer the re

Då städerna förtätas blir det alltmer aktuellt att förlägga anläggningar under marken. För att få åtkomst till underjorden, vid t.ex. ett tunnelbygge, så konstrueras vertikala åtkomstschakt, se Figur 1. För att förhindra att schaktet rasar samman så används någon form av stödkonstruktion för att hålla emot det horisontella jordtrycket. Den geometriska utformningen av stödkonstruktionen kan på olikUrbanisation is causing densification of cities and more and more facilities are being placed in the underground to utilise the urban space as efficiently as possible. Access to the underground is obtained by constructing vertical access shafts. By constructing the shaft with a circular plan geometry, an effective construction is obtained which can carry large earth pressure loads by utilising the

Detta arbete har som syfte att identifiera de tekniska och organisatoriska faktorer som inverkar då molntjänster implementeras och används i små företag. Uppsatsen är baserad på en litterär undersökning samt en empirisk studie i form av en kvalitativ undersökning. Den kvalitativa undersökningen grundas i fyra intervjuer med IT-kunniga informanter som alla utför sitt arbete med hjälp av molntjänste

This thesis investigates the effect of commuting time on labour supply using US household survey data. To circumvent biased estimates as working hours and commuting time are jointly determined by the worker, a first differences approach is carried out, in which changes in the commute are assumed to be exogenous. The estimates suggest that there is no causal effect on labour supply that can be deri

The aim of this study is to further understand the usage of cultural values to affect Generation Z and how the values connected to the generation, defined by earlier researchers, is used to create brand authenticity. Generation Z is known as an honest and value driven generation who has grown up with the internet as a part of their lives. The study is based on Hedvig, a Swedish insurance company w

Biogas has been acknowledged as one of the most important aspects for sustainable development. It is a renewable energy technology being promoted especially in developing countries for poverty reduction and climate change action. Despite concerted efforts to alleviate poverty, production and adoption of biogas remains very low in Zambia, and they prompt some questions: How do institutional, situat

The estimation of a country’s greenhouse gas emissions has appropriately calculated the total footprint of a nation. However, when such estimates are brought down to the level of each economic activity, they do not reflect the total consumption pattern of a sector by not taking intersectoral relationships into account. Therefore, this study has two major purposes: (1) to estimate the greenhouse ga

Women’s political representation in Zimbabwe has been low since independence in 1980. Studies on women’s access to political decision-making, representation and agency in Africa, including Zimbabwe, is limited. Therefore, this dissertation aims to contribute to localized and contextualized knowledge on the barriers for women’s political representation through a case study of the 2018 harmonised el
