This study examines the beginnings of Hamburg’s institutional transformation from a predominantly Hanseatic-style city to a Northern European financial and economic center. Existing literature has repeatedly pointed out the importance of migrants in the diffusion of economic institutions in the early modern period. In Hamburg’s case, commercially-minded migrants from Western Europe came to Hamburg
Thomas Quick, numera Sture Bergwall, har kallats Sveriges värste seriemördare. Nu krackelerar den bilden. Sedan Thomas Quick tog tillbaka sina erkännanden har han praktiskt blivit friad från samtliga åtta mord han blivit dömd för. Syftet med framställningen är att utreda hur domen gällande Appojaurefallet kunde rämna bara för att den tilltalade Thomas Quick tog tillbaka sitt erkännande. Mer konkThomas Quick, now Sture Bergwall, has been called the worst serial killer in Sweden’s history. That picture is now falling apart. Since Thomas Quick retracted his confessions he has practically been cleared from all eight murders he was convicted for. The purpose of this essay is to investigate how the judgement in the Appojaure case could fall apart only because the defendant retracted his confe
The Next to Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM) allows a CP violating phase at tree level in the Higgs sector. This CP violation will introduce new mixing between the neutral Higgs states and give rise to changes in the mass spectrum and couplings. We investigate these effects in light of the newly discovered Higgs boson, as its measured properties provides new limits on the Higgs sector
Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur musikdistributionen ser ut idag och hur den kan komma att se ut i framtiden ur ett musikförlags, en musikproducents och en etablerad artists perspektiv. Undersökningen är en kvalitativ intervjustudie med fördefinierade förslag till in-tervjufrågor med efterföljande transkription och systematisk analys av intervjuutfallet. Informanterna utgjordes av en repreMusic distribution today and tomorrow - from the perspective of the music publisher, the music producer and the artist. The purpose of this study was to assess how a music publisher, a music producer and an established artist experience the music distribution of today and how, in their specific perspectives, it may look like in the future. This qualitative study is based upon in depth interviews w
In this paper I examine the location of manufacturing industries across Swedish regions, between 1900 and 1960, using a novel dataset on manufacturing employment disaggregated into eight industries and 24 (NUTS-III) regions. By means of OLS estimations of a model where the regional share of employment in an industry is determined by interactions between region and industry characteristics I show t
Mental ill-health among adolescents – From professional social workers perspective (translated title) Abstract Authors: Erica Månsson and Victoria Bergendorff Title: Mental ill-health among adolescents – From professional social workers perspective (translated title) Supervisor: Åsa Lundqvist Assessor: Elizabeth Martinell Barfoed The purpose of this study was to examine the mental ill-health a
The aim of the thesis is to study and highlight the needs of passenger’s traffic information in the railway station environment, to identify and examine what its deficiencies depend on and come up with proposals on how they can be addressed. Thus, hopefully, improve the quality of information reaching the passengers in station environments. The method used included literature studies, among others
Problem statement Perform a thorough concept study based on the task of investigating the difficulties which arise when applying a coffeemaker for mobile use. Method Ulrich & Eppinger, Product Design and Development Conclusion The fall-out of the Master Thesis was a proper mapping of the target group and its sectors of application resulting in a modular concept designed for the users to
An analytical reading of the Nigerian and South African online debate regarding China’s engagement in Africa is here presented, with the purpose to contribute with knowledge from an African perspective. This thesis is a qualitative textual analysis of ideas where I have classified arguments from blogs and articles into different categories, compiled by Chris Alden, to view China in Africa as a dev
The following thesis seeks to understand the potential for handicraft cooperatives as a sustainable livelihoods strategy. This potential is measured by the ability for cooperatives to facilitate access to economic and non-economic livelihood assets and as a result, to stimulate feelings of resiliency among members. The central questions of the study were how handicraft cooperatives in and around K
Resurs Bank is a niche bank based in Helsingborg, with focus on financial services for corporate and private markets. They have a department that deals with programming and maintaining applications that their customers use. Currently they have no employed testers. The developers are testing the code themselves in combination with automated tests. Resurs Bank wants to acquire testers that can test
Shrunken pore syndrome (SPS) is a condition in which the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) based on serum/plasma cystatin C concentration is significantly lower than the eGFR based on creatinine. According to the literatures, the diagnosis of SPS could be defined when the eGFRcystatin C is <70% of eGFRcreatinine. Although the incidence of SPS varies in different patient populations and h
Thyroid hormones are of fundamental importance for brain development and essential factors to warrant brain functions throughout life. Their actions are mediated by binding to specific intracellular and membranous receptors regulating genomic and non-genomic mechanisms in neurons and populations of glial cells, respectively. Among others, mechanisms include the regulation of neuronal plasticity pr
Lentiviral vectors are promising tools for the development of gene therapy since they can transduce both quiescent and dividing target cells. Lentiviral vectors may be particularly promising gene delivery tools for hematopoietic stem cells since these target cells tend to be quiescent and are therefore difficult target cells for vectors that require dividing targets. Human hematopoietic stem cells
