Valutariskhantering vid rörelseexponering : En kvantitativ studie av svenska börsföretag
No full textSAMMANFATTNING Titel: Valutariskhantering vid rörelseexponering - En kvantitativ studie av svenska börsföretag Nivå: C -uppsats i ämnet företagsekonomi. Författare: Gustaf Bergquist och Jimmy Mattsson. Handledare: Peter Lindberg. Datum: 2015 - juni. Syfte: Syftet med studien är att studera förekomsten av skillnader och likheter mellan svenska börsnoterade företags hantering av rörelseexponering mot valutarisk beroende på vilket segment de tillhör på Stockholmsbörsen. Metod: Studien är av kvantitativ natur med en deduktiv ansats. Data har samlats in genom internetbaserade enkäter som sedan har ställts mot tidigare forskning och teorier. Utfallet har sedan analyserats genom korrelationsanalys och presenteras tillsammans med resultatet. Resultat & slutsats: Studiens resultat visar på förekomsten av flertalet skillnader och likheter vad gäller hantering av valutarisk som kan kopplas till segmenttillhörighet. Den slutsats som dras i studien visar att benägenheten att skydda sig för rörelseexponering mot valutarisk och att hantera valutarisk internt är störst hos företag på Large Cap och att benägenheten att ta hjälp externt vid valutariskhantering är störst hos företag på Small Cap. Gällande förekomsten av storleksrelaterade likheter visar studien att dessa är relativt små. Förslag till fortsatt forskning: Då denna studie är av kvantitativ natur skulle det i framtiden vara intressant att komplettera enkätundersökningen med intervjuer för att ge en bättre förståelse kring valutasäkringsprocessen. Ett annat potentiellt förslag till vidare forskning är att utöka antalet respondenter och förslagsvis inkludera den danska börsen som är snarlik den svenska börsen för att hitta skillnader och likheter mellan börserna. Uppsatsens bidrag: Studiens teoretiska bidrag kan bidra till att ge en djupare förståelse av fenomenet valutariskhantering där studien kan fungera som en förklaringsvariabel till utfall som är relaterade till detta område. Studiens praktiska bidrag kan ha stor relevans för mindre företag som är i uppbyggnadsfasen av sin riskhantering och därför vill veta vilka alternativ som finns vid ett beslutsfattande. Nyckelord: Valutarisk, riskhantering, rörelseexponering, valutasäkringsmetoder, skillnader och likheter, segmenttillhörighet. ABSTRACT Title: Currency risk management in operating exposure - a quantitative study of Swedish listed companies. Level: Final assignment for Bachelor Degree in Business Administration. Author: Gustaf Bergquist and Jimmy Mattsson. Supervisor: Peter Lindberg. Date: 2015 - June. Aim: The purpose of this study is to examine the existence of differences and similarities between Swedish listed companies’ management of operating exposure to currency risk, depending on segment affiliation at the Stockholm Stock Exchange. Method: This study is of quantitative nature with a deductive approach. Data have been collected through Internet based questionnaires, which later have been set against previous research and theories. The results have been analyzed through correlation- analysis and presented along with the results. Result & Conclusions: The results of the study shows that the majority of the differences and similarities in terms of managing currency risk can be linked to segment affiliation. The conclusion drawn in the study shows that the tendency to protect the company’s exposure to currency risk and to manage foreign currency risk internally are highest among companies on Large Cap and that the tendency to request help externally are greatest among companies on Small Cap. Regarding the presence of size related similarities, the study shows that these are relatively small. Suggestions for future research: It would be interesting to complement the survey with a few interviews in order to provide a better understanding regarding the hedging process. Another potential suggestion for further research is to expand the number of respondents and include the Danish Stock Exchange that is similar to the Swedish Stock Exchange in order to find differences and similarities between the two Stock exchanges. Contribution of the thesis: The theoretical contribution can help provide a deeper understanding of currency risk management and therefore serve as an explanatory variable of the outcomes related to this area. The practical contribution can have great relevance for smaller companies that are in the construction phase of its risk management and therefore want to know what options are at their disposal. Key words: Currency risk, risk management, operating exposure, hedging methods, differences and similarities, segment affiliation
Gösta Gustaf-Janson och nazismen
No full textGösta Gustaf-Janson (1902−1993) was a prolific and successful Swedish author, whose novels through frequent film versions also reached a larger audience. Although growing up in a very fashionable suburb of Stockholm he did not belong to a rich family, his father being an author too. Gustaf-Janson describes this upper class environment in an ambiguous way, both satirically and apologetically. The theme here is Swedish Nazism as it is depicted in his novels, from the early thirties and some forty years ahead. During this long period the author changes his attitude from contemporary witness to ageing historian telling young generations about a strange and distant past. All the time Gustaf-Janson is a steadfast and consequent adversary of Nazi ideology, but he also seeks to understand the human beings behind the ideological fanaticism. The affluent suburb is described in its own right, but at the same time also serves as a representative symbol of the whole country.</p

Digitaliseret digtlæsning:om nogle muligheder i internetbaseret litteraturformidling med Gustaf Munch-Petersens forfatterskab som eksempel
No full textThe article discusses the considerations behind the content and design of a test website dealing with the Danish author and artist Gustaf Munch-Petersen (1912-1938). The website, which can be visited at address http://www.kb.dk/proto/gmp/, is the result of a research and development project at the Royal Library, Copenhagen, the purpose of which is to examine various ideas for presenting Danish literature over the Internet which exploit that medium’s special characteristics. The medium bears within itself a number of opportunities, both for summarising an author’s production and for assisting the reader’s understanding of individual texts. The website tests certain of these opportunities on the basis of a specific author taking as target group the teachers and students of Danish in Danish upper secondary schools. Inspiration for the content and design of the website derives in part from an initial exploratory interview survey of this target group which aimed at uncovering their needs and desires relating to Danish literature on the Internet. The website is based on two main ideas, each of which in its own way seeks to facilitate the reader’s understanding and interpretation of the literature, namely thematisation and contextualisation. With regard to the former, eight theme lines have been drawn through Gustaf Munch-Petersen’s collected works. These are: “Emancipation and the clash of generations,” “Women and love,” “Bourgeoisie and the working class,” “Revolution,” “To be an artist,” “The primitive,” “Dreams and the unconscious” and “The mystical experience.” These theme lines give a general impression of important topics in the author’s work, and enable readers to concentrate their reading on one or more of them while offering certain hints for interpretation. With regard to the latter idea, the texts have been provided with various types of context: explanatory or perspectivecreating material in words or images. These cover explanations of words, a time line showing critical events in the author’s life, cultural life and contemporary society, Gustaf Munch-Petersen’s paintings and drawings, his letters and manuscripts, relevant quotations from other texts, and finally reviews and other press articles on the author. It is shown how thematisation and contextualisation on the website can contribute to what the reader can draw from Gustaf Munch-Petersen’s texts. This is done both by examining the course of one of the eight theme lines, “Women and love”, and by showing how the contexts can give rise to different interpretations in certain of the poems, taking “til en” and “det underste land” as the main examples. Finally future applications and ideas for future development of the website are discussed
Jag är ett mellanting. Klass och kolonialism i Gustaf Hellströms bildningsroman Kärlek och politik
No full textPeter Forsgren, Department of Film and Literature, Linnaeus University “I’m something in-between”: Class and Colonialism in Gustaf Hellström’s Bildungsroman Love and Politics (“Jag är ett mellanting”. Klass och kolonialism i Gustaf Hellströms bildningsroman Kärlek och politik) This article analyzes Gustaf Hellström’s novel Kärlek och politik (Love and Politics), published in 1942, from both a class and a postcolonial perspective, showing how they interact with each other, and with gender as well. Following the novel’s hero, Stellan Petreus and his development during his stay in London 1908–1911 as a foreign correspondent, the analysis shows how his identity as a Swede and as a liberal middle-class man is disrupted when he is confronted with class conflicts and social injustices in England and with British colonial policies, especially towards Ireland and India. The analysis also shows that Stellan Petreus uses his writings, both as a journalist and as an author of fiction, as a way to cope with the conflicts he is faced with. Another way to deal with the conflicts is to define his position as an “in-betweener” (mellanting)

Medusa’s Gaze and Geijerstam’s Gay Science in the Swedish fin de siècle
No full textGustaf af Geijerstam’s Medusas hufvud (Medusa’s Head, 1895) is one of the “account-settling novels” of the late nineteenth century. These novels reflect on the aesthetic reorientation after the breakdown of the “Eighties movement” in Sweden. One important dimension of this transformation was the growing emphasis on gendered visions of authorship. I argue that Geijerstam’s novel is an attempt to create a male author role and a male intellectual sphere. The establishment of a male literary sphere requires homosocial desire, an artistic passion that Geijerstam understands as similar and different from sexual desire. This terminology is employed, after Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, to insist on a productive continuum between the repositioning on the literary field that the novel represents and the thinly disguised homosexual tensions between its three male characters. However, the homosexual tensions are also related to secrecy, disgust, and terror (most clearly visible in the important Medusa motif). I finally argue that Geijerstam employs the erotic triangle, where the woman functions as a “mediator” for a relationship between the men, as a plot device that lets him simultaneously explore and dissimulate this homosocial desire
