Metabolic rate reflects the ‘pace of life’ in every organism. Metabolic rate is related to an organism’s capacity for essential maintenance, growth and reproduction-all of which interact to affect fitness. Although thousands of measurements of metabolic rate have been made, the microevolutionary forces that shape metabolic rate remain poorly resolved. The relationship between metabolic rate and co
Today’s rapidly changing environment amplifies the need for companies no matter the industry, to stay on top of their game and not lose market share to competing firms. This is particularly true of companies in mature industries, and therefore, is a worthy area of study and the focus of this thesis. Rethinking Competitive Strategy in Mature Industries is an in-depth, exploratory study, with an em
Technical innovations alone have proven to be insufficient to address the pressing challenges of today such as climate change, resource depletion, economic deprivation, poverty alleviation, increased migration and improved life quality. Therefore non-technical innovations are also required to enable transitions to more sustainable solutions. Social innovations include new solutions (products, servTechnical innovations alone have proven to be insufficient to address the pressing challenges of today such as climate change, resource depletion, economic deprivation, poverty alleviation, increased migration and improved life quality.

It is a well-known fact that sustainable development goals are difficult to achieve without a proper water resources management strategy. This study tries to implement some state-of-the-art statistical and data mining models i.e., weights-of-evidence (WoE), boosted regression trees (BRT), and classification and regression tree (CART) to identify suitable areas for artificial recharge through flood
Soil erosion by water represents a serious threat to the natural and human environment in Mediterranean countries, including Lebanon, which represents a good case study. This research deals with how to use Geographic Information Systems (GIS), remote sensing, and, more specifically, structural classification techniques and decision-tree modeling to map erosion risks and design priority management
This course deals with current issues relating to aging societies. An increasing share of elderly has for a long time characterized Sweden and other developed countries. The course deals with questions like: If this did not constitute a challenge before, why is it the case today? Is the welfare state, as we today know it compatible with an aging society? How can we finance the welfare of

The ability to argue well is one of the core competencies expected of citizens, politicians, companies, and students. The purpose of this course is to discuss and provide a vocabulary and instruments for the analysis, evaluation, and production of good real-life argumentation. The course does not cover traditional propositional logic.

The study seeks to investigate long-term stock performance of RLBOs. The purpose also to investigate long-term performance differences across RLBOs by examining whether certain characteristics can be attributed to deviations in performance. In general, the study seeks to shed some light on the recent wave of leveraged buyout transactions. This study is to our knowledge based on the largest and hi
