In the energy sector a transition towards smart grid is now taking place as a step towards a sustainable energy distribution. In addition to many other solutions, this transition will depend upon extended measurements and data management to increase the knowledge about load flows (i.e electricity use) in the network. This thesis will concentrate on data management and statistical analysis of measur

The unpredictable behaviour of financial time series has long been a concern for econometricians, making it difficult to find appropriate models with a satisfactory fit. The Markov regime switching model is a popular approach, much in behalf of the way it takes the shifts in the time series behaviour into account. The model in this thesis is based on a mixture of normal distributions, extended to
In the last couple of decades a strong increase in surface water iron (Fe) concentrations has been observed in the Northern hemisphere. Since Fe in surface waters derives from the soil in the catchment it is important to understand what biogeochemical processes are governing this increase. It has been proposed that reduced atmospheric sulphate deposition increases Fe concentrations in soil solutio

The study is performed with multiple linear regressions of 13 OECD coun
Narratives focusing on People of Color often suffer from neocolonial treatment with narrow focus on race at the expense of character development, working with stereotypical monoliths rather than complex individuals. These types of narratives tend to use Whiteness as a “neutral” reference point. In this thesis, I demonstrate how novelist Junot Díaz crafts The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao around

The global mobile data traffic, as well as the energy consumption, for networks is constantly increasing. For this reason, techniques which can provide higher spectral efficiency while being more energy efficient are needed. Massive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) is a technique which can bring these two together and will play an important role in future wireless networks. The most power co
Stereotypa framställningar av manlighet och kvinnlighet är något som länge reproducerats i medierna och inte minst vad gäller reklam. Som ett svar på feministisk kritik har annonsörerna börjat rört sig mot framställningar som ämnar utmana dessa stereotypa föreställningar kring genus. Denna uppsats undersöker framställningen av manlighet och kvinnlighet i två modekedjors reklamkampanjer som ämnar u
Fladdermössen är närmare än vad du tror! Under den varma sommarnatten tar de sig ut för att jaga. Under vintern övernattar de i grottor, träd och i hus. Det är lättare än vad man kan tro att få syn på en fladdermus, om man bara försöker lite och inte glömmer bort att de faktiskt lever så nära oss. Många människor har väldigt dålig kännedom om fladdermöss, trots deras stora betydelse för vår natur

Det finns anledningar till att bostadsfrågan diskuteras så pass frekvent som det görs. Det finns slående likheter mellan Sverige bostadssituation idag och det amerikanska händelseförloppet åren innan bostadskrisen 2007. Då kraftigt fluktuerande bostadspriser kan få stor inverkan, inte bara på enskilda hushåll utan hela ekonomin ämnar denna uppsats analyserar den svenska priserna på den svenska bos
The most critical element of doing risk arbitrage is the assessment of the out- come of a corporate takeover. Prediction models have been created in the past and successfully proven some variables in mergers and acquisitions to have a significant impact on the takeover outcome. However, these prediction models have mostly been created with U.S. data and some years back in time. This thesis will in
Mogen för flytt är ett projekt som bottnar i viljan att ha en trygg tillvaro och att inte vilja vara ensam när man blir gammal. Projektet tar sig form i reflektionen på ett samhälle där vi fortsätter att bli äldre, men också i inspirationen från och välviljan för äldre i min närhet. Vi lever idag längre och längre, med en ökad andel äldre och vi har drömmar om en aktiv tid som pensionär. Samtidig

A question that has been researched for this study is if there are any possible connections between what the syllabi may suggest about teaching grammar and how teachers answer that they
Norms and taboos as well as social and religious hierarchies that are entrenched within orthodox hinduism have been established through perceived god-given notions of (im)purity. Parallell to prevalent brahmanism, certain groups have consistently sought to breach these norms by advocating various elements that are in direct opposition to the brahmanic notions of purity. These impure elements inclu

The aim of this thesis is to explore and map the pedagogical concept of language development from a post-humanistic theoretical framework. Since plenty of studies focus on this concept from a second language standpoint, the current pro-ject intends to scrutinize language development from a broader perspective. The paper brings up questions regarding the possibilities and limitations of language an
