Body count – en diskussion kring de historiska processer som formar de nordirländska lojalisternas konfliktmönster under ”the Troubles” 1969-1998.
Uppsatsen behandlar det lojalistiska konfliktmönstret under den nordirländska interna konflikten 1969-1998 genom att undersöka hur och diskutera varför det lojalistiska konflikmönstret avviker från det samtida republikanska konfliktmönstret. Uppsatsen gör detta med utgångspunkt i en längre redogörelse för den historiska bakgrunden till konflikten 1969-1998, en genomgång av konflikten och den param
Supply Services to Arctic Offshore Operations; Macro-environment, Market Demand, and Business Potentials – The Case of Maersk Supply Service
Issue of study: A forecasted increase in energy demand and consumption, together with a decrease of existing oil and gas reserves, has led the oil and gas producers to new areas beyond the conventional oil and gas regions. The Arctic, an area mainly located north of the Arctic Circle, is believed to hold very large potential of the world’s yet-to-be discovered oil and gas reserves. In addition, th
130/30 Investment Strategies – Is the Active Extension Value Adding?
Objectives: In this thesis we studied the performance of active extension portfolios constructed by using momentum/contrarian strategies. Fundamentally, the difference between the 130/30 and the long-only asset classes is the relaxation from the long-only constraint. The main implication of this study is to find out whether the 130/30 strategy is value adding, in comparison to other actively manag
Assuring financial statements filed in XBRL – A new technology’s effect on the assurance process
XBRL is an XML based, meta-tagged financial reporting language, which is anticipated to become one single standard for electronic filing of financial statements. Numerous studies have identified errors and inconsistencies in XBRL filings. Error-laden XBRL documents are a serious concern for many stakeholders. Many questions have been raised regarding the potential assurance of XBRL filings. These
"The poor men seem to be all in confusion" – Sojourner Truth, negativ lust och det sublimas paradox
Syftet med uppsatsen är att med hjälp av begreppet sublimitet utveckla förståelsen för hur Sojourner Truths tal vid ett kvinnorättskonvent i Ohio 1851 fungerade argumentativt i sin kontext. För att nå en sådan förståelse gör vi en neo-aristotelisk analys och kompletterar den med en syn på talet utifrån begreppet "det sublima". Vi ser på sublimitet som ett sätt att förstå talets effekt på
Lack in motivation – the extinguishing of an entrepreneur?

The most valuable areas for preservation of biodiversity in southern Sweden – woodliving beetles as guides to hot-spots
In Sweden a new red list was issued 2000, but there is no published list of the most important areas for biodiversity preservation. I use woodliving and red-listed beetles as indicators of “hot-spots” for biodiversity preservation, since these insects constitute a large proportion of the red-listed forest living species in Sweden. Based on museum and many large private collections of beetles from

Bjorn again – A new opportunity for Björn Borg to conquer the U.S.
We found that Swedish fashion companies are ambivalent towards enhancing or concealing their country of origin. Although brand managers acknowledge Swedish country of origin effects as positive in general, their marketing communication is sometimes more focused on positioning the brand as an international label without boundaries. Generally, Björn Borg tries to capitalize on their Swedish country

Kafékultur, kommunikation och gränser
The café is a social meeting place. An as yet un-moulded aspect of social life is boundaries – how meetings rest on boundaries between participants that their intercourse brings forth. The aim of this dissertation is to study the café as a sociological and social–psychological phenomenon and at the same time contribute to forming the social–psychological aspect of boundaries. The study also contri
