The astronomical consequences of primordial black holes

Inom modern astronomi är mörk materia en av dem viktigaste byggstenarna i universum. Även om vi inte kan se mörk materia, tror vi att uppemot 85 \% av all materia består av det. Faktum är att vi behöver denna mängd för att förstå hur stjärnor rör sig runt Galaxen, och hur galaxer formas. Trots dess betydelse för vår nuvarande förståelse inom astronomi har vi inte kunnat identifiera vad mörk materiIn the radiation or early matter dominated eras of the Universe, there is a theoretical possibility for the formation of black holes (BHs). These primordial black holes (PBHs) have been thought of as a possible candidate for dark matter (DM), and an attractive one at that as it would explain DM using only baryonic physics. Constraints from theory and observations such as microlensing has nearly ex

"Den sexuella läggningen har inte gjorts sannolik" : En kvalitativ undersökning om asylbedömningar av hbtq+ personer

Does Hedge Fund Activism Create Value?

Using a data set of 139 events from 2006 to 2019, we demonstrate that announcements of hedge fund activism increases shareholder value in the short run. The abnormal return for the announcement of activism is approximately 6% over a [-10,+10] window. We find statistically significant abnormal returns both when the hedge fund purchases shares in the target firm, and when the hedge fund engages with

The selection was from the chosen study object and its popul

Transposable elements as alternative gene promoters and their silencing mechanisms

Transposable elements (TEs) are genetic entities that have the ability to move around the genome and regulate nearby genes. Therefore, they constitute a potential threat (and sometimes an evolutionary advantage) for the host's genome. Among other regulatory activities, DNA methylation and KRAB-ZNF are responsible for TE silencing. The dysregulation of these silencing mechanisms have been studi

The Impact of Brexit on Levels of Corporate Credit Risk: Evidence from UK and EU Non-financial Companies

The impact of the UK’s decision to leave the EU has received a lot of attention in scientific research in recent years. The effect of Brexit on many different variables and factors related to financial markets and general economy has been studied extensively. Corporate credit risk is, however, an area which did not receive as much attention. This study therefore focuses on the quantification of th

Pivot Point Trading in the Foreign Exchange Market - A Test for Market Efficiency

The foreign exchange (FX) market is today the world’s broadest, most active, financial market. One of many technical analysis techniques amongst professional FX traders, trying to narrow down the best entry and exit points in this market, is to utilize pivot points. The ability of this technique has, as far as we know, never been rigorously evaluated. In collaboration with the Malmö-based hedge fu

The content, chemical state and accumulation of vanadium in a drill core of Alum shale from Kinnekulle

Alunskiffer är en svart lersten av kambrisk-tidig ordovicisk ålder som har en vid utbredning i Sverige och angränsande områden. Bergarten är rik på organiskt kol från ofullständig nedbrytning av marina mikroskopiska organismer som inlagrades i sedimentet på syrefria havsbottnar. Miljön gjorde det även gynnsamt för en del spårmetaller att deponeras, bland annat Uran, Nickel, Molybden och Vanadin. VExploitation of alum shale is a controversial subject in Sweden due to the history of pollution of the environment and groundwater, from past mining industries. The extraction of vanadium from alum shale is no different. Nevertheless the metal is a valuable resource used in tools, building, industries and aerospace materials. A look to the future reveals that vanadium may play a role in renewable

Designing a Smartphone Application for Identification of Network Devices

Idag kopplas allt fler enheter upp på Internet, vilket effektiviserar såväl enhetshantering som kommunikation mellan enheter. I hemmiljöer kan användare styra enheter genom att förse dem med beskrivande namn, som till exempel "högtalare vardagsrum". Så länge antalet enheter är begränsat är en sådan lösning ofta tillräcklig. I ett fall med ett stort antal enheter måste användaren dock hålToday, an increasing amount of physical devices are obtaining Internet connectivity for more efficient management and device communication. In home environments, users may manage devices by providing them descriptive names such as "living room speaker". For a limited set of devices such a solution is often sufficient. However, in a case where one wants to individually manage a very high

“Flowing” Village

A lovely village, which located a little bit far from the city, but still has a convenient and good connection to the city center. There are no high-rises, and the form of life returns to the previously slow pace life which is full of human kindness. Canals appear everywhere and form a drainage system which can help purify the water before it goes into Dianchi Lake. It is a self-sufficient life mo

Same sex couple discrimination: A field experiment in the Portuguese housing market

Discriminatory behavior on the basis of sexual orientation challenges the economic problem, as it causes inequal access to the job and housing markets. In this study, I measure and analyze discriminatory behavior against same sex couples through a field experiment in the Portuguese housing rental market. This is the first attempt at conducting a correspondence field experiment testing for discrimi

Stock Price Synchronicity in a highly informed market

I investigate how the intensity of the oil industry affects the synchronicity of large capitalized oil and gas companies in the western world. I find that despite of the high level of information available to investors of large capitalized oil and gas companies stocks of oil and gas companies move synchronous with the market when it falls, but not synchronous when it rises. I suggest also that pas
