This paper examines the relationship between female representation on corporate boards and financial performance in Swedish publicly listed companies from 2015 to 2023, excluding the year 2018. This study explores whether a higher proportion of women on boards of directors correlates with improved financial outcomes, measured by Tobin's Q. The empirical strategy employs both pooled Ordinary Le
Title: Bothness Despite Otherness: A Synergistic Approach in a NorthSouth Social Enterprise fusing Mutual Collaboration with Degrowth Values Authors: Ricarda Becker and Ladina Kaupp Supervisor: John Murray, Lund University, Sweden Purpose: This thesis aims to identify how mutual collaboration practices are infused with degrowth values within a business context that spans the Global North and the
In an uncertain and ambiguous world, organizations need to find new ways to manage change and stay in business. Constantly changing environmental policies and corporate climate action puts even more pressure on organizations in change management. It is apparent that corporate climate action shapes the way companies operate a business. Hence, the purpose of the present study is to shed light on man
As cities keep densifying, essential resources such as daylight access become increasingly restricted. Therefore, prioritizing energy efficiency and enhancing the energy performance of our buildings is required for obtaining a sustainable urban environment. The challenges of implementing these ideas have triggered efforts to make cities smarter, for example, by using 3D city models for solar energ
This paper examines youth engagement within the Global Landscapes Forum, a conference that took place in Paris, December 2015, and its contribution towards moving intergenerational equity forward. Youth are considered one of the main stakeholders when it comes to decision-making in long-term environmental issues as they are part of the current generation that are likely to face the implications of

I det här examensarbetet har en ny förpackningslösning utvecklats och konstruerats för snäckfräsar till Volvo Group Truck Operation Powertrains transmissionsfabrik i Köping. Det fanns ett behov av en ny förpackningslösning då den existerande förpackningen har flertalet problem och brister och börjar bli föråldrad. Produktutvecklingen började med att bekanta sig med den nuvarande förpackningen ochIn this thesis, a new packaging solution has been developed and designed for gear hobs to Volvo Group Truck Operation Powertrain´s transmission plant in Köping. There was a need for a new packaging solution since the existing packaging have a number of problems and deficiencies and begins to be obsolete. The product development began by familiarizing with the current packaging and how it was hand
To be able to meet the global energy demands, a steady supply of green energy is required, even during sun- or windless hours. Concentrated solar power is a useful alternative, which can produce and store green energy by heating a heat transfer fluid (HTF) and extracting its energy via a heat exchanger. One such category of HTF is molten salts, and to understand and be able to model the behaviour
In 2023, Russia invaded Ukraine and began an occupation of large parts of the country. This invasion sparked concern in many nations and led to an increased interest in defence issues, thereby triggering a narrative of rearmament. A major focus within this rearmament narrative is the drone, which, in the midst of the war, became a game changer for both the Russians and the Ukrainians. The drone is
A search for new particles that decay into top quark pairs is reported. The search is performed with the ATLAS experiment at the LHC using an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb(-1) of proton-proton collision data collected at a centre-of-mass energy of root s = 8TeV. The lepton-plus-jets final state is used, where the top pair decays to W (+) bW(-)(b) over bar, with one W boson decaying leptonically
BACKGROUND: HYPO-RT-PC is a phase 3 trial comparing ultra-hypofractionated and conventionally fractionated radiotherapy in intermediate-to-high-risk localised prostate cancer. This 10-year update reports long-term efficacy and toxicity outcomes.METHODS: In this open-label, randomised, phase 3, non-inferiority trial done in ten centres in Sweden and two in Denmark, we recruited men aged 75 years or
The Binarity at LOw Metallicity (BLOeM) survey is an ESO large programme designed to obtain multi-epoch spectroscopy for 929 massive stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). It will provide binary fractions and orbital configurations of binary systems and search for dormant black hole binary candidates (OB+BH). We present projected rotational velocities (v sin i) of all sources, and, using the m
OBJECTIVE: Prostate biopsy is associated with a risk of significant infectious complications including sepsis. We investigated the risk of infections after transrectal (TR) biopsy compared to transperineal (TP) biopsy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Men who had undergone prostate biopsy and diagnosed with prostate cancer were identified in the National Prostate Cancer Register (NPCR) of Sweden. Linkage wi
Information is essential in order for pharmaceutical companies to be successful. This essay focuses on the information provision of pre-clinical scientists at AstraZeneca R&D Lund, and the role of the company library in this process. In semi-structured interviews, four pre-clinical scientists were asked to describe their information provision regarding what type of information they need, how t
Utbildningsstyrelsen har i samarbete med undervisnings- och kulturministeriet börjat utveckla rektorsutbildningarna mera målmedvetet än tidigare, i synnerhet de utbildningsprogram för läroanstalternas ledning som finansieras via programmet Kunnig (Osaava). En åtgärd som ansetts vara nödvändig som underlag för utvecklingsarbetet har varit att kartlägga olika länders praxis för utbildning av läroansThe Finnish National Board of Education, in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and Culture, has started to develop the training of rectors in a more systematic way by utilizing the funds which were allocated for the Osaava programme. One of the pre-liminary measures in this regard included a survey concerning the continuing education practices of school leaders on a worldwide basis. The
Höllviken is a part of Vellinge county located in the south west of Skåne with about 15 000 inhabitants. The town is expected to grow in the following years and a new residential area is being planned. Public transportation must be available and it has to reach the important destinations to make the area attractive for new residents. Today there is a local bus service, number 152, that runs in a l
Iron deficiency is a common cause of morbidity and can arise as a consequence or complication from many diseases. The use of intravenous iron has increased significantly in the last decade, but concerns remain about indications and administration. Modern intravenous iron preparations can facilitate rapid iron repletion in one or two doses, both for absolute iron deficiency and, in the presence of
