Increased economic and financial integration and substantial macroeconomic fluctuations require that corporate managers and investment analysts pay more attention than in the past to the link between the "noise" that these fluctuations represent and the company's performance-past and future. For many reasons, company managers must weed out the effects of the noise to obtain a clear picture of the
Energy security is sometimes used to advocate renewable energy systems. Renewable energy systems can improve some aspects of security, but they will not automatically lead to the removal of all types of security problems and new problems will most certainly arise. This paper analyses energy security aspects of renewable energy systems on the basis of a broad typology on energy and security. Renewa
Study Design. Observational cohort study. Objective. To evaluate by MRI whether a vertebral fracture during childhood is a risk factor for degeneration of adjacent discs. Summary of Background Data. Several studies infer that trauma is a major cause of disc degeneration. Only 1 study has by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) evaluated disc degeneration in children with a former thoracic or lumbar ve
Gel swelling experiments have been used to study the binding of ionic surfactants to a series of nonionic alkylacrylamide hydrogels of increasing hydrophobicity. The binding of hexadecyl trimethylammonium (C-16-TA(+)) to uncharged gels is sensitive to both the hydrophobicity of the gel and the counterion to the surfactant. There is a minimum hydrophobicity threshold below which binding of the surf
Background: Despite several decades of experience with atrial pacing, many centers do not apply this mode to any greater extent, mainly because of concerns for the development of future atrioventricular (AV) block or atrial fibrillation. Recent studies have emphasized possible negative effects of right ventricular stimulation, even when AV-synchrony is preserved, and have thus given rise to renewe
In desert locusts Schistocerca gregaria, aggregation behaviour is elicited by aggregation pheromones. In this study, we show that the behavioural response to the major and most potent adult aggregation pheromone component, phenylacetonitrile, is age- and juvenile-hormone-dependent. Furthermore, we show that juvenile hormone influences the responsiveness of olfactory interneurons in the antennal lo
This examination addresses the problem of proxy warfare in civil wars by examining Iran’s and Saudi Arabia’s involvement in the Syrian Civil War. Based on previous theoretical frameworks a new theoretical framework of proxy warfare has been developed which is used to analyze whether Iran’s and Saudi Arabia’s involvement in Syria is a case of proxy warfare or not, and if their involvement in the co
The rules of responsibility regarding the working enviroment during the production in the construction industy makes it hard to demand responsibility when accidents occur even when there are flaws in the working enviroment. Flaws in the working enviroment is a big problem on construction sites and there are alot of accidents but at the same time only a few lead to conviction. The way cnstruction s
Bostadsmarknaden har under en längre tid kantats av ett antal problem både på ägande- och hyresmarknaden. Majoriteten av landets kommuner rapporterar en rådande bostadsbrist och effektivitetsförlusten till följd av efterfrågeöverskottet beräknas till 10 miljarder kronor per år. Identifierade problem på bostadsmarknaden är avsaknaden av fungerande flyttkedjor, långa bostadsköer, höga bostadspriser The Swedish housing market has been pressured for a long time with a majority of Swedish municipalities reporting housing shortages. The efficiency loss due to unmet demand is estimated at 10 billion SEK annually. Identified obstacles on the housing market are lack of functioning vacancy chains, long housing queues, high prices and constraining legislation. In 2009, new legislation was introduced

More than 600 million people are living in coastal areas in the world. According to the trend of population migration, the global coastal area population may increase to more than 1 billion by 2050. In a long term, a series of activities such as sea-level rise due to global warming and unpredictable natural disasters increase the extent of coastal erosion. As coastal erosion continues to intensify
Adoption scholars have dismantled the story of adoption as a humanitarian effort to save destitute children and framed adoption as a transnational issue underpinned by neo-colonial and patriarchal structures governing the relations between the West and ‘the rest’. This thesis builds on those insights and thus contributes to a growing body of literature within critical adoption studies. South Kore
This thesis explores the UTVs (Utility Terrain Vehicle) transition from internal combustion engines to electric drive and how the shift will impact Atlas Copco as an assembly tool manufacturer. Research is conducted based on a mixed-method approach, using both semi-structured interviews with key manufacturers and Atlas Copco sales engineers, as well as a multiple case study at manufacturing plants
People’s obsession over objects and constantly renewing them was the initial core of the project. This led us in the direction of the fast fashion industry. The unrelenting change of trends forces the consumer to continuously update their wardrobe, while the time spans for new trends keep decreasing. The textile industry is one of the largest environmental issues of today. By focusing on outdoor e
Flyktingar löper signifikant högre risk för att utveckla psykisk ohälsa, däribland posttraumatiskt stressyndrom (PTSD). Det finns en stor evidensbas som visar att traumafokuserade psykologiska behandlingar för PTSD är effektiva. Majoriteten av denna forskning inkluderar dock inte flyktingar, vilket innebär att mindre är känt om responsen för behandling av PTSD hos flyktingar. Den aktuella översiktRefugees are at significantly increased risk of mental health difficulties, including Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). There is a large evidence base showing that trauma-focused psychological treatments for PTSD are effective. However, the majority of trials do not include refugees and less is known about response to PTSD treatments in refugees. The present scoping review explores the curren
This study examines the long-term abnormal returns of stocks following Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) and Seasoned Equity Offerings (SEOs) on the Swedish and American markets from January 2000 to March 2021. Additionally, it examines the differences between Swedish and American companies and investigates factors influencing these disparities, focusing on the importance of market capitalization at
The minority of Greenland Inuit in Denmark has long been object of prejudice concerning alcohol abuse and general low social standards. Due to the colonial history between Greenland and Denmark and the subsequent decades as an actual part of the Danish kingdom, much of this is caused by Danish structural adjustments. Even though the general level of drinking among the population of Greenland has d
Under senare år har en ökning av allvarlig brottslighet bland lagöverträdare under 15 år i Sverige konstaterats. Efter riksdagsvalet 2022 presenterade den nytillträdda regeringen, med stöd av Sverigedemokraterna, att bekämpning av ung-domskriminalitet skulle utgöra en av mandatperiodens mest prioriterade frå-gor. I september 2025 remitterade Justitiedepartementet ett utkast till lagråds-remiss om In recent years, Sweden has seen an increase in serious criminal activity among juveniles under 15 years of age. After the 2022 election, the newly elected government, with the support of the Sweden Democrats, identified the fight against juvenile crime as a top priority. In September 2025, the Swedish Department of Justice submitted a draft proposal referral to the Council on Legislation, proposi
Denna studie undersöker hur svenska investmentbolag kommunicerar värderingen av sina onoterade portföljbolag i årsredovisningen. Eftersom onoterade innehav saknar observerbara marknadspriser präglas värderingen av betydande osäkerhet och subjektiva bedömningar, vilket ställer höga krav på transparens och legitimitet i den externa redovisningskommunikationen. Studien genomförs som en kvalitativ innThis study examines how Swedish investment companies communicate the valuation of their unlisted portfolio companies in annual reports. As unlisted holdings lack observable market prices, valuation involves significant uncertainty and subjective judgment, placing high demands on transparency in external financial reporting. The study applies a qualitative content analysis of annual reports for the
