This thesis explores how music students and aspiring cultural and creative workers from Southern Italy perceive and negotiate Italian regional inequalities through educational mobility towards Centre-Northern regions. The aim of the present study is to delve deeply into the ways Italian regional disparities shape students’ decisions to move, their experiences within music higher education and thei
This thesis examines the strategic trade-off between internal innovation and external capability acquisition in the software sector. Software firms operate in markets where innovation speed, scalability, and product-market timing are central to competitiveness, making the choice between developing capabilities internally and acquiring them externally particularly relevant. Prior research on so
On March 7th 2019, Iceland delivered a joint statement at the UN Human Rights Council on behalf of 36 states, publicly condemning Saudi Arabia's detention of ten named women human rights defenders and calling for accountability in the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. The intervention is widely cited as an instance of small-state leadership, but whereas the small-state diplomacy literatur
Purpose: To examine whether bank versus non-bank financing in the U.S. syndicated loan market is associated with differences in firms’ investment behaviour after loan origination, with a main focus on CapEx, financial constraints and R&D as a complementary outcome. Methodology: Fixed-effects panel regression using U.S. syndicated loan data from DealScan matched with firm-level accounting data
This study examines whether weather-induced mood is associated with bid premiums in mergers and acquisitions, using deseasonalised sunshine and a Pleasant Weather Index as proxies for managerial affect. The empirical analysis relies on cross-sectional OLS regressions of bid premiums on deseasonalised sunshine measured at the acquirer's nearest weather city over a fourteen-day preannouncement w
Carbohydrate esterase family 1 (CE1) enzymes are a diverse group of enzymes involved in plant biomass degradation through removal of acetyl and feruloyl substitutions from polysaccharides. In this study, several putative CE1 enzymes were characterized to find out their substrate preference, catalytic properties and possible role during biomass hydrolysis. Functional screening using pNP-acetate and
Studien visar att konsumenter positionerar energidryck på egen hand mellan varandra. De positionerar även hela produktkategorin. Positionen som de tillskriver drycken skiljer sig mellan konsumenter och icke-konsumenterThe study demonstrates that consumers independently position energy drinks through interactions with one another. Furthermore, consumers contribute not only to the positioning of individual energy drink brands but also to the positioning of the entire product category. The position they attribute to the drink differs between consumers and non-consumers.

Studien undersöker hur svenska banker hanterar spänningen mellan regulatoriska krav och relationsskapande kundarbete i samband med penningtvättslagstiftning och kundkännedom. Banksektorn präglas av omfattande kontroller och krav på informationsinsamling har blivit en central del av verksamheten, samtidigt bygger bankernas verksamhet i stor utsträckning på förtroende, kundnöjdhet och relationsskapa
Introduction: The aim of the research is a cyclometallation reaction to form two different complexes. The complexes are formed through the activation of two different ligands, one through the activation of a C-H bond in a cyclohexane based POCOP ligand and one through the activation pf a C-C bond in a biphenyl ligand. This activation would be done using two different metals for the reaction, palla
This thesis investigates vacuum membrane distillation (VMD) as an energy-efficient method for concentrating thin beet sugar juice. It evaluates the effects of operating conditions on concentration performance, membrane selectivity, product quality, and process stability. Pilot-scale experiments were conducted using 5000 mL of thin beet sugar juice at each batch. The system was operated at varying
Sugar production is an energy-intensive industry that heavily relies on thermal evaporation for juice concentration, contributing significantly to greenhouse gas emissions. Growing pressure to improve industrial sustainability has driven interest in alternative concentration technologies. Forward osmosis (FO) has emerged as a promising non-thermal membrane process that utilizes osmotic pressure d
This project investigates the combined use of a Time Projection Chamber (TPC) prototype and Hadronic Range Detectors (HRDs) developed for the HIBEAM beamline at the European Spallation Source (ESS). The data analysed in this work were collected during a test experiment the Proteus C-235 cyclotron proton source in Krakow where protons were scattered from a carbon deuteron target. The aim of this st
Den följande texten studerar de rättskällor som inspirerat Europakonvent-ionen. Texten utgår från ett historiskt perspektiv där enskilda källor studeras i en historisk kedja. Texten börjar med FN:s deklaration om de mänskliga rättigheterna och jobbar sig bakåt. De källor som nämns på vägen är USA:s konstitution, deklarationen om människans och medborgarens rättigheter och Magna Carta. Texten visarThe following text studies the legal sources of the European Convention on Human Rights through a historical perspective of the chain of historical sources and states perspectives. The most important sources are The Univer-sal Declaration of Human Rights, the American constitution, The Declara-tion of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen and The Magna Carta. The text then studies the Swedish react
Denna uppsats handlar om när verk från AI-system kan få upphovsrätt enligt svensk rätt och EU-rätt. För att utforska detta område har jag inledningsvis använt mig av 1 kap. 1§ i URL som behandlar konstnärliga och litterära verk. Paragrafen kan tillämpas även på verk som är skapade med olika tekniker, vilket gör att även AI-verk skulle kunna omfattas av den. Vidare har jag an- vänt mig av EU-praxisThis essay examines when a work created by an AI-system can receive cop- yright protection from a Swedish and EU legal perspective. To explore this area, I have primarily used Chapter 1, paragraph 1 of the Swedish Copyright Act (URL), which regulate artistic and literary works. This paragraph can be applied to works that are created using different techniques, which implies that also AI-works can
This essay examines the explanatory power of MICE and Wilder’s framework in relation to the case of the Swedish spy Stig Bergling, by answering the research question to what extent can the MICE model and Wilder’s framework explain Stig Bergling’s espionage?. The study is conducted as a qualitative case study using congruence analysis to explain the explanatory value of two competing theoretical fr
This thesis examines how the U.S. government used propaganda in its public argumentation to legitimize the 2003 invasion of Iraq. The study does not assess the legal status or underlying causes of the war, but focuses on how the invasion was made politically and morally defensible in public discourse. Using qualitative content analysis, it examines central speeches and official statements from the
Ensamagerande våldsaktörer utgör idag det primära attentatshotet mot människor i Sverige, vilket aktualiserar frågan om vilka analytiska ramverk som bäst lämpar sig för att förstå dessa aktörer. Denna studie tillämpar en competing theories-ansats inom ramen för kongruensanalys genom att jämföra det moderna riskbedömingsinstrumentet TRAP-18 med den traditionella analytiska ansatsen, skapad av Russe
While intelligence collection and counterintelligence are traditionally associated with state actors, terrorist organizations engage in similar practices to avoid detection. Despite sophisticated security apparatuses, terrorist organizations have experienced significant intelligence failures. This paper examines what weaknesses in terrorist organizations' security work contribute to such failu
