Given a discrete dynamical system T, one can ask what the time average of the system will be, that is, what is the average position of T^n(x) for large n? Birkhoff’s ergodic theorem, one of the most important results in ergodic theory, says that for an ergodic system on a finite measure space, the time average will in the limit as n -> infinity be equal to the space average for almost all initial

Under 1990-talet bröt den före detta socialistiska federala republiken Jugoslavien upp längs sina republikers gränser, till stor del på grund av en ekonomisk och politisk kris, liksom en ökning av nationalism och etniska spänningar.

This study examines the effect of credit rating downgrades and negative changes in outlook on stock returns for companies in the London Stock Exchange from 2000 to 2018.

A market model with the FTSE All-Share Index as a benchmark is used.

Karaktärisering av polymermaterial för produktion av säkra och hållbara vaginala ringar Vaginala ringar är en läkemedelsformulering som är väldigt användarvänlig och som kan vara ett alternativ till traditionella preventivmedel som ofta kan anses vara tabu i U-länder. Därför är det av största intresse och vikt att få kunskap om hur man producerar säkra och hållbara vaginala ringar för att kunna The aim of this thesis was to characterize the mechanical and thermal properties of three different ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) polymers with varying vinyl acetate (VAc) content and to investigate the influential parameters when welding the polymer into intravaginal rings. A second purpose in this study was to compare two different produced EVA polymers with the same VAc content to find thermal a

Vart fjärde år, i valtider, uppstår en viss typ av kommunikation då och enbart då. Valaffischer trycks än idag i stora upplagor och sätts upp vid valda platser i hela Sverige, vilket leder till en stor exponering hos invånarna. Denna stora uppvisning har dock inte lett till någon större forskningsinsats på valaffischer, utan det finns ett mycket smalt utbud av studier av svenska valaffischer. ForEvery fourth year at, during elections, a certain type of communication appears. Election posters are still today printed in large quantities and placed at locations all throughout Sweden, which entails a large exposure to the inhabitants. Yet, this display has not lead to a great amount of research on election posters, but there is a small number of studies of Swedish election posters. Research

Oil spills require more or less significant response efforts to be controlled. While the frequency of severe oil spills has decreased, an increase in marine traffic is forecasted in the future.
