A more conservative supreme court will likely have the chance to overrule Roe v. Wade. Many states have passed heartbeat laws that will probably be taken all the way to the supreme court, these cases will ask the supreme court to affirm fetal personhood, giving fetuses a constitutionally recognized right to due process and making abortion illegal. In this thesis, I will defend an expansion of protections for pregnant peoples through a socialized right to abortion.

The land around Herrevad Abbey consists mostly of pastures with a lot of old coarse oaks, a touch of broad-leaved decidous forest andmixed deciduous and coniferous forest. In the year 2010 the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency became owner of the area around Herrevad Abbey, previously owned by the Swedish National Fortification Administration. A high pressure from hunting occurred during the Swedish National Fortification Administration ownership. This resulted in a decrease of the roe deer (Capreolus capreolus L.) population. A pellet-group count is a reliable, indirect inventory method that is used with high frequence within wildlife management since the 1930s. Pellet-group count is used in Swedish Wildlife research since the 1977 at Grimsö Research Station and today an increasing interest for this method is seen both in nature management, among hunters and  in the Swedish Association for Hunters. Through a pellet-group count of a roe deer population, an underestimated index of the total density is shown, which means that the investigated population can be larger than the survey shows. The pellet-group count in this study covered 3,20 km-2 with a total of 315 plots. The plot had a circular shape and covered 10m2, which is recommended for roe deer surveys. Each plot was investigated twice, one round clockwise and one round counter clock-wise to increase the precision of the survey. The calculation showed 10,76 roe deer per 1,00 km-2 in winter population during 2010; with a 10% set-off for winter mortality and 8,22 roe deer per 1,00 km-2 in winter population with a 30% set-off. The density with 10,76 roe deer /km-2 is low compared to experimental plots at Bogesund, Ekenäs, where the population is estimated to around 17-23 roe deer/ 1,00 km-2. A calculation for carrying capacity shows that the population will reach the density limit within four years at Herrevad Abbey.

Banking as a financial institution and a business has gone beyond providing banking servicesand making profits for the proprietors to assume macro positions like involving in activitiesthat propel an entire economy. This has earned the interest of national governments and thesociety as well as the international community as a whole inciting a need for supervision inorder to ensure sustainability.Banks as corporate organizations with the above stipulated stake holders and management arein a constant tog of war with each stakeholder seeking to protect its own kind which hasdegenerated to a vice often known in corporate governance as agency cost or principal-agentconflict. In corporate governance there is a board of directors that is designed to align theshareholders interest and management interest in order to check this agency cost.In our thesis we have expatiated widely on the concept of corporate governance, board ofdirectors and its composition. We have isolated gender diversity, which is one of thecompositions of the board to find out how it contributes to control agency cost by establishingits effect on ROE, which is a firm performance indicator. We introduced control variables tocheck our results.We collected data from the annual reports of Nordea, Swedbank, Handelsbanken and SEB,which are the listed banks in the OMX NASDAQ exchange Stockholm for period 2001 to2010. The board characteristic we used is the proportion of females in the entire board and thefirm performance indicator we chose is ROE. We carried out a longitudinal study for thewhole industry and for individual firms in the industry over the ten-year period.We have variation in the results over the different firms and in the industry but there is nosignificant relationship. We concluded that the proportion of females in the board rooms doesnot necessarily affect firm performance as viewed with the use of ROE but other factorstogether with gender proportion exert a combined effect and these other factors are correlatedand therefore affect the performance of each other either positively or negatively. Thisscenario was therefore not realistic enough to establish a relationship between genderproportion and ROE.

In this thesis, I will argue that Doe v. Bolton, 410 U.S. 179 (1973), a United States Supreme Court case originating in Georgia, enabled all women access to abortion, including groups of marginalized women previously denied this right. An examination of the background of Doe uncovers the roles played by Georgia feminists and the medical community. By comparing Doe v. Bolton with the concurrent Supreme Court case of Roe v. Wade, I will shed light on the history of abortion in America as well as continuing divisions over abortion access in America today.

This work deals with the evaluation of game management with roe deer and wild boar in hunting Drahotěšice-Radonice in the years 1993-2014. As a material for this work are used data from the records of hunting manager. It evaluates the annual evolution of aggregated states, the amount of hunting and implementation for hunting of roe deer. It is also evaluated catch weight and date of capture of roe deer and wild boars. On the ground of results are set recommendations for the managemet of roe deer and wild boar in hunting.

Foram escolhidas para este trabalho cinco medidas de geração de valor que englobam métodos tradicionais e métodos modernos de avaliação: RR (Retorno Residual), RRA (Retomo Residual Ajustado), ROE (Return on Equity), ROI (Return on Investment) e LAJIDA (Lucro antes de Juros, Impostos, Depreciação e Amortização ou EBITDA). A geração de valor para o acionista foi quantificada pela variável RT (Retorno Total) definida como sendo a variação do preço da ação mais seu fluxo de dividendos. O poder de previsão é analisado através de medidas estatísticas, que visam avaliar o conteúdo informacional das medidas de criação de valor em termos absolutos, relativos e incrementais, seguindo metodologia utilizada por BIDDLE, BOWEN & W ALLACE (1997) e CHEN & DODD (1997,1998) para o mercado de capitais norte-americano. Para tanto, são realizadas análises de correlação e diversas regressões: lineares, múltiplas e forward regressions. Diversas análises de sensibilidade também são desenvolvidas, incluindo variações no cálculo do custo de capital, retirada de outliers, defasagens temporais, ajuste da variável dependente pelo índice de mercado e análise de subgrupos anuais e qüinqüenais. A amostra foi composta por 88 empresas com ações negociadas na Bovespa, examinadas ao longo de 10 anos, de janeiro de 1990 a dezembro de 1999, gerando uma matriz com aproximadamente 880 observações. Os resultados apresentam baixas correlações entre os indicadores de valor e o retorno total das ações, sendo que as diversas regressões efetuadas geram R2 reduzidos, como os resultados apresentados nos trabalhos utilizados como referência. Nas regressões lineares o LAJIDA apresenta-se como o melhor indicador e nas regressões múltiplas otimiza-se a explicação do RT ao utilizar ROI, LAJIDA e RRA em conjunto. Conclui-se que o mercado de capitais parece não utilizar de forma imperativa os indicadores de valor como ferramenta de previsão, possivelmente, porque eles mostram a realidade passada, enquanto o mercado busca explicações nas expectativas futuras. Mesmo assim, esses indicadores de valor são importantes, como ferramenta de gestão, para direcionar as atitudes dos administradores das companhias na linha da criação de valor para os acionistas. / The present study examines the theoretical background of different methods for evaluating value generation for shareholders, and also evaluates the relevance and effectiveness of those metrics as real drivers of value generation. Five performance evaluation metrics were chosen for this study: Residual Income, Adjusted Residual Income, ROE, ROI and EBIDT A. Those performance measures were analyzed as independent variables explaining the creation of value for shareholders, measured as Total Shareholder Retum, TSR, defined as change in stock price plus dividends. The analysis is performed using different testing procedures for a sample of 88 Brazilian companies, along a ten year period, from January 1990 until December 1999. The statistical procedures were based on studies performed by B IDDLE, BOWEN & W ALLACE ( 1997) and CHEN & DODD ( 1997, 1998) for the American capital market. The empírical analyses were based on correlation tests and linear and multiple regressions for the pooled intertemporal sample of 880 firm-years. Numerous sensitivity analyes were also performed, including evaluation of cross sectional groups, withdrawing :of outliers, changes in the methodologies for the calculation of the cost of capital and information lags. The results show low correlation between the five metrics studied and the TSR. The regressions presented low values for R2 , not far from the results found in the studies used as reference. The EBITDA was the best indicator found in the linear regression analyses and for the multiple analyses the use of ROI, EBITDA and Adjusted Residual Income together provided the best information content. The capital markets does not seem to use the value creation metrics as prevision tools, possibly because they evaluate the past performance while the market is based on expectations for future returns. Nevertheless, those performance measures are of great value as managing tools in order to set goals, define bonus packages, and align the objectives of management team and shareholders.
