Sweden has long been seen as a generous, inclusive provider for refugees, historically granting social rights on par with citizens shortly upon arrival. However, extensive recent academic literature has come to critique this perception, highlighting retrenchments and restrictive developments in asylum policy amid increasing precarity for asylum seekers. Studies have also documented mental health v
Life-history theory predicts that individuals carrying parasite infections should experience a trade-off between allocation of resources towards reproduction versus repression of the infection. However, in the case of chronic avian malaria infections in the great reed warbler (Acrocephalus arundinaceus) and other passerines, correlational studies have found little effect on annual survival and fec
Aerosols are one of the significant factors influencing climate, environment, and human health. They are categorized into anthropogenic and natural sources. In Sweden, natural aerosol sources of high coarse mode particle mass concentrations for particles larger than 1 µm in diameter include sea spray, primary biogenic particles, and dust particles. The dust particles can be agricultural soil and m
Much of contemporary organisational life is enacted in meetings. Yet, our understanding of meetings and coworkers’ role in them remains limited and influenced by the dominant functionalist and linear perspectives on communication. Such an approach is, however, problematic as it obscures the constitutive role of coworker’s voicing in meetings and how it produces and reproduces work teams, organisat
In this thesis, we present the efforts towards finding an improved implementation of the newly proposed Born Spreading method for reduction of negative S weights in the MC@NLO matching prescription. The improved implementations are tested on various LHC processes with MadGraph5_aMC@NLO (MG5_aMC) and compared to default MG5_aMC, 2×2×1 folding and default Born Spreading. The runtime in each step and
The climate change in northern Europe is not only leading to more extreme weather events but also causing long dry summers. This affects the moisture content of the ground and the vegetation. Causing an increased number of wildfires within Germany posing a risk to the environment, society, and firefighters. Surface fire spread in wildfires can be influenced by several environmental conditions and
The purpose of this study is to examine how responsibility is distributed in a bottom-up and network forms structure. Our qualitative study followed the interpretivist tradition together with an inductive approach in one organization. The empirical data was collected at “Bright Solutions” through 8 semi-structured interviews over a two week period. This paper is examined through the lens of bottom
The credit spread puzzle has long been a well-researched topic within the literature of fixed income securities, focusing on the factors contributing to credit risk to explain credit spreads. This study provides a new perspective on the subject by specifically examining corporate bonds issued by Swedish real estate companies during the years 2019 to 2023. It is investigated whether explanatory var
This study examines whether aid policies aimed at promoting national interests are more effective at generating economic growth in Least Developed Countries (LDCs) than traditional aid policies. Compared to traditional aid, these policies rely heavily on trade, as the effectiveness of foreign aid has long been under scrutiny. We assess the effectiveness of these aid policies by empirically investi
In the midst of the economic turbulence around Europe today, the European currency has been put to its greatest test so far. Now more than ever, an assessment of the euro is needed. The purpose of the paper is therefore to re-assess the euro’s effect on trade and to estimate and compare the individual Member States’ effects. This has been done with bilateral intra-EU trade data and estimated with
The objective of this thesis is to investigate the main determinants of IPO underpricing for firms listed in Hong Kong and Singapore from 2004 to 2008. Data collected from the Datastream and Reuters, together with the information disclosure in both stock exchanges is used to examine the significance of different variables in order to explain the IPO underpricing level. We find that operating margi
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
