Extant research within the entrepreneurial marketing field has typically focused on the migration away from traditional marketing concepts while mostly ignoring the inclusion of branding as a fundamental principle of marketing. This paper is specifically interested in the often overlooked element of a young firm’s ability (or lack thereof) to control its brand and brand identity as perceived by it
Green entrepreneurship – technological eco–innovations and ecopreneurs’ acts – has recently received much attention from European policymakers as one promising response to the challenges of sustainable economic development due to its potential to catalyze and build a low–carbon or green economy. This topical relationship between green entrepreneurship and sustainable economy has also gained increa
Credit rating agencies have in recent literature been found to base their sovereign ratings on the same range of macroeconomic fundamentals. The purpose of this study is to find out whether these credit rating determinants are valid predictors when explaining actual defaults and not only affect the perceived creditworthiness of sovereigns. By studying a sample of 106 sovereign issuers in a logisti
The purpose of this paper is to examine the food commodity price spike of 2008 and to what extent financial speculation was a contributing factor. I will try to determine this in two ways, first by a review of the fundamentals factors that is behind supply and demand in the agricultural commodities markets. Second by an empirical study of the correlation and Granger causation of volume of futures
In recent years, household debt levels among the industrialized countries have increased heavily. The Swedish central bank has had concerns about this increase and its macroeconomic effect. Partly this is due to the fact that private consumption might have been inflated by borrowed money. As some perceive household debt as a stimulant, others fear the consequences of over-indebtedness.

The unified patent court is currently one of the most intensely discussed areas in patent law. The Court will in essence have exclusive jurisdiction to hear disputes concerning European patents. In intellectual property law the possibility of interim measures such as interlocutory injunctions are of great importance, not the least in patent law. In Sweden, interlocutory injunctions and legal prov
Wax production is essential for the survivability of Barley (Hordeum vulgare) plants. They use it to fend off bacteria, viruses and helps rinse the cuticular surface from dirt. Much research has been done regarding the genetic regulation and the cer-cqu genes are proven to account for the biosynthesis of wax. A point mutation has been induced within the cer-u region which gives rise to waxless pla
Northern Ireland has long been a case that has interested researchers in different disciplines. Since the Brexit referendum in 2016, it has attracted attention as a politically rare case within the UK. Its land border with the Republic of Ireland and history of conflict results in unique consequences post-Brexit. Analyzing the impact of the British media in shaping the way Northern Ireland was con
A theoretical study is reported of metallic hydrogen in the molecular phase of Cmca-4 and the atomic phase of I4_1/amd at high pressure about 500 GPa. Using density functional theory (DFT) and more specifically the PBE exchange correlation functional as approximation scheme, the crystal structure of metallic hydrogen has been investigated. This to determine its metallic properties and see if the c
Following the adoption of the "double carbon" policy in China, the concept of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) has gained considerable attention within the Chinese market, significantly impacting investor decision-making. This thesis examines the impacts of ESG principles on the overall financial performance of investment portfolios. Through the classification of Chinese A-lis
This paper aims to answer how well affective commitment and leadership efficacy can be predicted by leadership style and gender expression in a voluntary setting. It is expected that invitational leadership, transformational leadership and gender expression predict the two dependent variables. It is also expected that there is a difference within affective commitment and leadership efficacy by sex
The small protein α-synuclein is strongly associated with Parkinson’s disease. This protein is found in inclusion bodies, named lewy bodies inside neurons of people suffering from the disease. α-synuclein is very abundant in the human brain, and its normal function is still elusive and unclear. The factors that trigger the accumulation and fibrillation of this protein into pathogenic inclusion bod
The EU has a plan to develop itself as a leading force in the AI field, and for that, it created a whole plan to be better prepared for that and foster in-novation and development of it in the Union. One of the steps in this plan is to create a cohesive framework around AI to increase trust to the European people, as said systems although very often beneficial, also brings many risks to fundamenta
