Möten som formar - Interaktionsmönster på förskola mellan pedagoger och de yngsta barnen i ett genusperspektiv

In studies concerning the youngest children, the toddlers, the gender perspective is often missing. One aim of the study was, therefore, to investigate the interaction between children and preschool teachers in day care centres in a gender and a contextual perspective. Another aim was to investigate the inner representations of the preschool teachers concerning children and gender. A third aim was

Road profile statistics relevant for vehicle fatigue

Road profiles are studied from a vehicle fatigue point of view. A wide range of roads have been measured: from smooth motorways to very rough gravel roads. It is observed that the road profiles consist of irregular sections, which makes the stationary Gaussian model unsuitable (Paper A). In Paper B, a method for automatic identification of such irregularities is presented. It is verified that the

Preferenser för hög ESG eller högre moment?

Most existing literature uses a mean-variance frame-work for evaluating expected stock returns and ESG (environmental, social and governance) performance. At the same time, it is argued that the risk mitigation offered by high ESG should lead to higher skewness and lower kurtosis in stock returns. It is also well established that investors have positive preferences for skewness and negative prefer

Lyfter Svanen svenska aktiefonder?

This thesis aims to investigate the results of the Nordic Swan label on mutual fund flows. As consumers starts to increasingly demand more sustainable investment alternatives, the fund distributers have subsequently started investigating new products with focus on sustainability. In October 2017, the Nordic Swan labelled their first funds containing 25 specific sustainability criteria. The funds s

Entrepreneurial Action in the Pre-Export Phase of SMEs: A Cognitive Approach

The purpose of this study is to advance the theoretical knowledge of internationalisation of small and medium-sized firms from an individual perspective. In particular, the research takes a cognitive approach in understanding how experiential knowledge shapes entrepreneurs’ uncertainty perception and thus their willingness to recognise and act upon export opportunities. Six in-depth, semi-structur

Sancho Panza i svensk språkdräkt – Om översättning av språkliga förvrängningar i Don Quijote

I den här masteruppsatsen jämförs två svenska översättningar av Miguel de Cervantes roman Don Quijote de la Mancha: Ingrid Bergquists översättning från 1954 och Jens Nordenhöks översättning från 2001. Uppsatsen behandlar översättningen av Sancho Panzas språkliga förvrängningar, vilka ger upphov till språk- och ordlekar. Syftet är att jämföra de två översättningarna med avseende på vilka strategier

Determination and control of some pollutants in indoor environments

Unsatisfactory indoor air quality (IAQ) may result from polluting emissions that are spread from building materials such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and/or microbial components or from various kinds of human activity such as smoking. Different methods are available to limit the exposure to unwanted pollutants and improve human wellbeing and health. One goal of this thesis was to determine

Arkitekturens territorialitet : till en diskussion om territoriell makt och gestaltning i stadens offentliga rum

The point of departure of this dissertation is a consideration of the problems in the field of architecture, of conceptualizing and addressing aspects of the complex relationship between architectural form and use. The aim of the thesis is to create conditions for a discussion on architectural design and territorial power relations within the context of everyday life, and more specifically to inve

The HCCI Fuel Number - Measuring and Describing Auto-ignition for HCCI Combustion Engines

HCCI is an advanced combustion concept, using premixed fuel and air with a diluted charge. This is thermodynamically favorable, leading to high efficiency and therefore lower CO2 emissions. The well-premixed and diluted fuel charge gives lower cylinder temperatures than conventional diesel compression ignition and spark ignited gasoline combustion, resulting in low engine out emissions of both nit

Statistical Mechanical Studies of Titrating Polyelectrolytes

Different models and statistical mechanical approximations for titrating polyelectrolytes are studied and the results compared with Monte Carlo simulations and experimental data. Three types of models have been used in the simulations: i) rigid structures and freely jointed chains with ii) rigid bonds and iii) flexible, harmonic bonds. Sampling is facilitated for the latter two by the use of pivot

Effective Charges Near 56Ni and Production of Anti-Nuclei Studied with Heavy-Ion Reactions

This thesis presents the research performed within two different research groups using heavy-ion induced nuclear reactions. They offer the opportunity to investigate different properties of nuclear matter. The results are based on measurements using a variety of different experimental techniques. The PHENIX experiment measured the production of deuteron and anti-deuterons at mid-rapidity in gold-
