The language of newspapers in the public sphere has a crucial impact on how the public perceives and participates in society. It can serve to encourage or counteract active and informed citizens; in fact, it is a crucial element in democratisation processes. The purposes of the present study are to elucidate what means of persuasion are used to support theses on politics in newspaper discourse dur
Increasing evidence suggests that microRNAs (miRNAs) contribute to pancreatic β-cell compensation during type 2 diabetes (T2D) pathogenesis. To examine miRNA-mRNA interactions in human islets and their roles in β-cell insulin secretion and T2D, we performed small-RNA sequencing on pancreatic islets from nine individuals with T2D and 52 non-diabetic controls. We identified 70 differentially express
Market indices based on market capitalization have been argued to be the most mean-variance efficient for a long time. In recent years, this argument has been questioned and other methods of weighting portfolios have been suggested. One of these is the weighting by fundamental indexation. This thesis investigates whether fundamentally-weighted portfolios outperform portfolios weighted by market ca

Public sector IT projects are often reported as being total disasters; going over budget and beyond their time frame for a poor quality final product. However, IT failures are not unique for the public sector. As a response to poor IT development, many organisations are now transforming to agile. Grounded in the Agile Manifesto, the agile approach is a collective, iterative and user-centric approa
Beowulfkvädet skrevs antagligen ned någon gång på 1000-talet och eftersom att vi bara har en kopia av manuskriptet kvar kan vi med säkerhet säga att historien om Beowulf inte ändrats de senaste 1000 åren. Trots detta har våra tolkningar av Beowulfkvädet varierat kraftigt de senaste 100 åren. Jag har med hjälp av ett 40-tal översättningar och analyser av Beowulfkvädet skrivna mellan åren 1901-2018 The Beowulf manuscript was probably written sometime during the eleventh century and since we only have one copy of the manuscript we can say for sure that the story of Beowulf has not changed during the last 1000 years. Regardless of this our interpretations of the Beowulf manuscript has changed dramatically the last 100 years. I have with the help of over 40 different translations and analyses o
Different interests ascribe different meaning to the role of culture in urban regeneration and discourses are created. Previous research showed that successful examples of urban regeneration happened as culture-led bottom-up processes, where inhabitants had a supporting cooperation with the city administration. No strong evidence has been presented in previous research that culture has trickle-dow
Young children have been identified as particularly exposed to fires. This study aims at investigating pre-school children's level of knowledge about fire and evacuation and if the level of knowledge increases after an education. The aim has also been to present guidelines of how educational materials for children of that age should be designed. The work has been conducted by interviews with p
Denna kandidatuppsats undersöker implementeringsproblemet som kan uppstå i avståndet mellan Sveriges riksdag och den verkställande byråkratin. Frågeställningen besvaras främst med hjälp av de värden som presenteras i Dahls demokratiteori (2002) och Lundquists teorier om byråkratisk etik (1988 & 1998) tillsammans med de värden som återfinns i Regeringskansliets värdegrund för statliga tjänstemä
Denna uppsats redogör för hur arbetsgivarens skyldigheter skiljer sig åt vid uppsägning respektive avsked och analyserar på vilka bevekelsegrunder en arbetsgivare kan välja att avskeda istället för att säga upp. Vid både uppsägning och avsked föreligger samma formella skyldigheter samt en skyldighet att förhandla innan åtgärden vidtas. Arbetsgivaren har dock olika lång tid på sig att lämna underräThis essay will discuss how the responsibilities of the employer differ between termination and dismissal and will furthermore analyse the motives an employer can have in order to justify the use of dismissal instead of termination. Before terminating or dismissing an employee, the employer must in both cases observe the formal responsibilities as well as the obligation to negotiate. The differenc
Denna uppsats behandlar förekomsten av rumslig autokorrelation i residualer till paneldatamodeller med tvåvägsfel. Tre modelltyper undersöks: den linjära paneldatamodellen, en dynamisk paneldatamodell och en spatial paneldatamodell. Ett känt resultat för den linjära modellen, att minsta kvadrat-skattaren tillämpad på oberoende observationer resulterar i en rumslig korrelation i residualserien varsThis thesis examines the spatial autocorrelation in residuals of two-way error panel data models. Three types of models are examined: the standard linear panel data model, the dynamic panel data model, and the spatial lag panel data model. A known theoretical result for the linear model, that the within estimator applied to independent observations results in a spatial correlation in the residuals
Studiens syfte var att psykometriskt undersöka ett testverktyg för mätning av matematiskt problemlösningsförmåga. För detta syfte fick 273 elever i åk 2 göra det läsplattebaserade testet Klurisen vid två tillfällen och en svensk version av Iowa Test of Basic Skills, deltest Mathematical Problem Solving, benämnt IOWA, vid ett tillfälle. Studien fann att Klurisens deltest, A- och B-del hade otillräc
Syfte: Undersöka hur stor andel av de aktierekommendationer som utfärdas för svenska aktiebolag som visar sig vara goda råd, ett år efter publiceringsdatum. Vidare analyseras ifall det råder någon specifik skillnad mellan köp- och säljrekommendationer. Metod: Kvantitativ studie med deduktiv ansats. Insamlade aktierekommendationer analyseras för att beräkna en eventuell abnormal avkastning. Result
Mundelsskadefrekvensen hos Fjädermygglarver har i tidigare studier används som bioindikator på sjöars eller vattendrags exponering för miljögifter. På uppdrag av Skellefteå kommun utfördes sommaren 2014 en undersökning av frekvensen mundelsskador hos Fjädermygglarver i Skellefteälven. Syftet med undersökningen är att få en inblick i hur exponerade Fjädermygglarver i dagsläget är för miljögifter i Larvae from the non-biting midge family Chironomidae have previously been demonstrated to be sensitive to environmental pollution in aquatic environments. Exposure to different contaminants has resulted in an increasing occurrence of deformities of the mouthparts in the larvae. Common pollutions which induce mouthpart deformitys are metals (such as Pb, Zn, Cd, Cu, Hg, Cr, Ni), pesticides and some
The aim of this study is to create an understanding of how caregivers at nursing homes in both the public and the private sector working conditions manifests itself from an organization theory perspective. The aim of this paper is to describe and analyze how the caregivers in elder care experience their working conditions and if the experiences differ depending on whether they work in the public o
As the society gets more and more dependent on electrical energy, it is highly desirable to ensurepower supply at all times. In case of events of natural disasters, simple technical faults or human mistakes, any power system or a large part of it can suffer a blackout. An electrical shutdown is a crisis situation where recovery should happen as quickly as possible. During the restoration after the
