Syftet med denna uppsats är att öka förståelsen för huvudintressenternas uppfattningar i Sverige kring den obligatoriska byrårotationen med hänsyn till oberoende och revisionskvalitet. Resultatet visar att majoriteten av huvudintressenterna är negativt inställda till den obligatoriska byrårotationen, speciellt i sin slutgiltiga utformning som troligtvis kommer vara utan påverkan på varken det fakt
The elderly population within the European Union is growing where as the amount of caregivers is not. The objective of the NavMem project is to make older citizens more self-sufficient and confident specifically while traveling on foot. This could potentially lead to a more active and social life while decreasing the need of senior citizen care. With this objective in mind the NavMem consortium ha
Amidst global efforts to address pressing environmental challenges and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, education for sustainable development emerges as a pivotal tool for fostering societal transformation towards a more sustainable future. Within this context, competence frameworks serve as essential guidelines for integrating sustainability into education. This research investigates th
In today's digital era, where personalized experiences have become crucial to consumer interactions with brands, the balance between personalization and privacy remains a complex and evolving challenge. Despite the recognized benefits of personalization in driving consumer spending, concerns about privacy and data security persist among individuals. This study addresses the "personalizati
Biodiversity depletion directly impacts businesses and society by influencing ecosystem services. Despite the growing recognition of biodiversity loss as a significant crisis, many companies have not yet sufficiently integrated broader nature considerations into their strategies. The Science-Based Targets Network (SBTN) aims to facilitate nature including biodiversity target setting within corpora
A report of the Sweden new government on the future for bioenergy is presented. The report state that the agriculture sector supplies 1.5 TWh of biomass energy to the Swedish energy system in the form of wheat, rapeseed, and some willows. A report discloses the fact that agriculture can play an important role in the development of Swedish energy system in the future. The most profitable crops for
Den europeiska textilindustrin står inför stora förändringar när EU:s nya förordning "Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation" (ESPR) träder i kraft. En central del av regleringen är förbudet mot förstörelse av osålda konsumentprodukter, en åtgärd som syftar till att minska miljöpåverkan och öka hållbarheten inom modeindustrin. Studiens mål är att undersöka hur textilindustrin förbStatistics show that approximately 2,71 billion people have at some point shopped for clothes online (Sellers Commerce, 2022). E-commerce is becoming more and more common rather than to buy and try on clothes in a physical store which has led to many clothes being returned for various reasons (poor fit, free returns, etc.). The fast fashion industry generates significant textile waste, with unsold
Purpose: Study the relationship between stock returns and GHG emissions regarding a risk premium related to greenness. This by using GHG emissions estimated by Bloomberg rather than companies self-reported estimates. Methodology: The study conducts a time-invariant model by cross-sectional OLS regression to estimate the risk premium for greenness. Weighted Least Square regression (WLS) to estima
Popular Abstract in Swedish Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Det genomgående temat i avhandlingen är hur handeln mellan den Europeiska Unionen (EU) och utvecklingsländer kan öka. Två olika policyalternativ utvärderas: så kallade handelspreferenser samt förenklingar av handelsprocedurer. Handelspreferenser innebär i sin enklaste form att höginkomstländer kräver lägre tullar på importvaror somThe main theme of the thesis is how to increase trade between the European Union (EU) and developing countries. Two available policy options are assessed: trade preferences and trade facilitation. Chapter 1 offers a broad discussion of these policies, and concludes that while trade preferences, which once dominated North-South trade relations, are at a risk of becoming obsolete, trade facilitation
When Swedish wastewater treatment plants were rebuilt to include enhanced nitrogen removal, anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) was far from being a mature technology. During the 2000s, the process has been introduced into sludge liquor treatment worldwide. The step to introduce anammox in the mainstream is decreasing, but lab- and pilot-scale studies on real municipal wastewater are yet lackin
IntroductionYoung migrants are increasingly recognised as being particularly vulnerable to sexual violence. This vulnerability is largely structural, due to the different laws and policies impacting their access to rights and services. Post-structural approaches to policy argue that policies are not responses to existing problems, but rather that social issues are constructed through policy. They
Det relativt lugna området bakom barriärö är en fördelaktig plats för hamn trots att navigationen genom själva inloppet kan vara utmanande. Olika åtgärder såsom muddring eller kuststrukturer kan vara nöd-vändiga för att säkerställa det önskade vattendjupet för en säker navigering. Island som är en önation är beroende av tillförlitliga navigeringsvägar som förbinder hamnar med havet. Detta för att The relatively calm area behind barrier island are favored locations for harbors even though the navigation through the inlet itself can be challenging. Different measures like dredging or coastal structures might be necessary to ensure the desired water depth to maintain a safe navigation. Iceland as an island country depends strongly on reliable navigational routes connecting harbors to the ocea
INTRODUCTION: The optimal depth for decompression stops is unclear. We hypothesize that a decompression stop at 1.3 bar, compared with 1.6 bar, decreases post-dive whole-body nitrogen washout volumes and venous gas emboli (VGE).METHODS: In this randomized crossover trial, divers performed wet air dives of 40 minutes at 3.4 bar (340 kPa) with a seven-minute-long decompression stop at either 1.3 bar
This chapter reviews methanol's properties as a fuel for marine use in general terms and then specifically for combustion engines and fuel cells. It discusses the different engine technologies being either investigated or demonstrated that allow methanol to be used in marine engines. Their potential in terms of power density, emissions, and efficiency, as well as their maturity are reviewed. The e
In this work, we present an actors-to-hardware design flow where applications are described as networks of actors and compiled to hardware. Specifically, we use the CAL actor language to describe these applications. CAL has previously been used to specify applications such as the MPEG-RVC decoder and is well suited for compilation to hardware. A key limitation of CAL is that the applications descr
Learning robot motions from demonstration requires models able to specify vector fields for the full robot pose when the task is defined in operational space. Recent advances in reactive motion generation have shown that learning adaptive, reactive, smooth, and stable vector fields is possible. However, these approaches define vector fields on a flat Euclidean manifold, while representing vector f
Fluorescence microscopy is an effective tool for imaging biological samples, yet captured images often contain noises, including photon shot noise and camera read noise. To analyze biological samples accurately, separating background pixels from signal pixels is crucial. This would ideally be guided by the knowledge of a parameter called the Poisson parameter, 𝜆bg, representing the mean number of
