The paper, by studying the abnormal returns to transaction parties, examines the level of managerial hubris in the Nordic tender offers.

Östra Tommarp is the name of a small village situated outside Simrishamn in eastern Skåne. Bioagro-life is an ongoing project sponsored by the EU. The main ambition is to eliminate carbon dioxide emissions from the process of heatproduction. The project will produce a more environmental friendly alternative to present use of burners with oil as fuel. The heating of the facilities within the villag

The main purpose of this thesis is to uncover the relationship that exists between the formation of purchase intentions and the factors that influence the process of intent formation; a specific focus will be given to the discovery of the impact of negative eWOM within a consumer’s pre purchase decision context. The thesis uses an inductive and qualitative design. The authors propose and apply two

This master thesis analyzes the accounting and auditing reforms in the Post-Soviet world. It is the very interesting issue, because comparing with the rest of Europe and Asia the former soviet countries have extra challenges in this process. They are not only trying to adopt international accounting and auditing standards, but also move away from command economy which is not an easy task. The regu

The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether there is evidence of performance persistence among 726 funds with net asset values denominated in Euros. The study is carried out on data ranging from April 1992 to April 2009. Persistence is searched for in raw, risk adjusted and alpha performance. The results attained provide evidence for the distinguishing of performance persistence in the sho

“Pattern beings” deals with decoration, ornaments and patterns as omnipresent beings around us. Despite the fact that modernism tried to exclude decoration from our existence (headed by Adolf Loos’s Ornament and Crime essay), I was brought to this topic by repeated tendencies to decorate and adorn objects for daily use. “Pattern beings” is also about searching for relations between the object, mat

The international law of the sea has its roots in Roman law embedded in the ancient doctrines of res communis and res nullius. The law came from custom and practice and was transformed into customary law periodically confirmed and consolidated by fundamental doctrines such as mare liberum or freedom of the seas enunciated by Hugo Grotius in the 1500s and eventually by the doctrine of common herita

This research will focus on the economic geographic patterns of the diffusion of grid photovoltaic (PV) cells. The analysis is specified to the EU 15 and the time period 1990-2010. The causal and correlational relationships will be derived from energy transitions that occurred in history and recent research directed towards renewable energy and solar energy in particular. This results in five inde

The cost-sharing exemption provided by Art. 132(1)(f) EVD is a provision with a specific objective. The legal function of the provision is to enable economic operators which carry on exempt activities to emancipate certain internal sources which are directly necessary to carry on the exempt activity to be outsourced, and thus supplied exempt. Under the framework of a cost-sharing arrangement, the

Summary: The magnetic field surrounding the Earth has repeatedly been shown to be used by various animals for navigation purposes. There is not yet any published data on the existence of a magnetic sense in a bumblebee. I here present the development of a method suitable for examining the existence of a magnetic sense in the buff-tailed bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) by using a four-armed maze loca

The subject of this thesis was to investigate the possibility of a supplemental control algorithm to suppress gear alternation in the ZF ECCOM gearbox series. The acquired solutions were implemented on a dSpace MicroAutoBox II and connected to a Claas Xerion 5000 to evaluate their effect. The different approaches have gone through three steps of validation, first a Simulink model simulation, secon

Popular science summary: A growing body of evidence shows that tumors consist of rare cancer stem cells (CSCs), precursor cells and differentiated tumor cells. CSCs are today thought to be the main culprit in the tumor origin, progression, recurrence and resistance to therapy. The origin of CSC is enigmatic; however, it has been suggested that CSCs can arise from any type of cells and the underly

Detta examensarbete är skrivet inom ramen för Green Hub Landskrona (GHL), som är ett samarbete mellan tre kommunala företag i Landskrona och flera institutioner inom Lunds Universitet - LTH. Syftet med samarbetet är att driva omställningen av stadsdelen Karlslund till en hållbar stadsdel genom innovativa lösningar för energi, avfall och boende. Detta examensarbete utförs som ett första steg i denThis Master´s thesis is a part of the project Green Hub Landskrona (GHL), a collaboration between three municipally owned companies in Landskrona and a number of institutions within the faculty of engineering at Lund University. The aim of GHL is to transform the neighbourhood Karlslund, northern Landskrona, to a sustainable district, through innovative solutions for energy, waste management and h

The development of the human embryonic brain is a complex process involving several biological cues which interact to generate speci_c neural cells and anatomical features. There are still many questions to be addressed regarding biological key mechanisms which in case of malfunction might disturb the development of the brain. Animal models such as rats and mice have been used to get a better unde

ISIS is not a state. Legal considerations point at that ISIS is a non-state actor and a terrorist organisation. Out of the declaratory theory of recognition, effective control, rule through consent, stabilisation of national conditions and the constitutive theory of recognition ISIS quite convincingly fulfils the first two criteria. In UNC article 2.4 we find a prohibition on the use of force. The

Purpose: Since limited efforts have been made when trying to understand and identify what managers do when managing the supply chain, the purpose of this research is to move towards a better understanding of Supply Chain Manager’s practices. By using different methods than previously conducted research, a practice-based approach is going to be used when trying to answer, identify and to zoom in on
