Värdering av ekosystemtjänster i byggbranschen – har det någon effekt? I takt med att byggandet ökar blir de gröna ytorna i staden mindre och mindre. I Sverige har en rad olika initiativ tagits för att kompensera för förlorad natur i samband med bebyggelse. Men vilken effekt har dessa initiativ? I denna studie undersöks ett verktyg utvecklat för att bevara, stärka eller kompensera för ekosystemtjUrbanisation is increasing the pressure to exploit green and blue spaces in the city. To preserve these spaces and the ecosystem services they provide, there is a need to change the way we plan and build cities. One way of doing this is to include valuation of ecosystem services in the planning process. Many different tools with the purpose to do this have been developed. The purpose of this stud

The purpose of this research was to do a case study of how value stream mapping (VSM) contributes to operational excellence within an ICT company. To illustrate this, a case study was conducted at Swisscom, a large Swiss telecommunications company. The motivation of the study was to contribute to research within the industry of information and communication technologies (ICT) and secondly, to high

The interest for corporate governance as a research subject has surged over the past decades as a result of a number of publicised corporate scandals. These events highlighted the substantial impact that poor decision making at board level can have on a firm and its stakeholders. In an effort to counter the threat of dysfunctional boards, stricter corporate governance regulations have been enforce

The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether the fraction of shares owned by institutional investors causes more or less myopia than other investors. Moreover, we look into the role of blockholders and ownership concentration and their effects. The methodology of this paper consists of a level regression model and a first-difference regression model where the dependent variable R&D-to-

The purpose of this bachelor thesis was to study the experiences that children had growing up in poor living conditions due to their parent's substance abuse. The children included in this study are in adult age describing their childhood in relation to their parents substance abuse and the effect it had on them.

Thesis purpose: The aim of this study was to examine whether German Millennials are in favor of rejuvenation practices of heritage luxury fashion brands or if such actions instead lead to negative associations, as they tend to ignore the heritage aspect. Methodology: Following a relativist ontology, this research is guided by a social constructionist position, which allows a deep understanding of

Fotoner som penetrerar ett material har olika sannolikheter att växelverka och därmed överföra sin energi och absorberas i materialet eller få en riktningsförändring. Denna sannolikhet för fotonen att absorberas eller spridas anges ofta per längdenhet och kallas för attenuering. Sannolikheten för attenuering i ett material ökar med sjunkande fotonenergi och om materialet består av ett högre atomnuMaterial decomposition in X-ray imaging is used to separate different materials or elements in an image and to quantify their respective concentration. The material decomposition and quantification are made possible by the dependency of attenuation on the attenuating material and photon energy. The purpose of this thesis was to implement a material decomposition method, from the image acquisition

Purpose: The main purpose of this study is to examine how the short-term performance of European acquirers, following M&A announcements, has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, this study also aims to examine how diversifying M&As have been affected, and whether acquirers’ firm value demonstrated a positive relationship with CARs during the pandemic. Methodology: This stu

This bachelor’s thesis in statistics explores frequentist and bayesian methods for parameter estimation and compares their usefulness when applied to opinion polls of party sympathies in the Swedish political system. Through simulation in R, random samples are generated from a population modelled after the Swedish electorate at various points during the 2010s and 2020s. The party for which each in

Kalkning ger nytt liv till sura sjöar Försurning är idag inte något som det pratas speciellt mycket om i fikarummen runt om i landet, trots att det är ett problem som fortfarande lever kvar och som man jobbar för att lösa helt och hållet. Kalkning kan hjälpa till att återskapa livsmiljöer för en mängd arter i försurningsdrabbade vatten, men hur har egentligen utvecklingen i sjöarna sett ut sedan Acidification was one of the biggest environmental issues during the 20th centaury, especially in Sweden since acidic emissions from other regions ended up in the ground and water here. In this study, data from several lakes in Ulricehamn Municipality was analysed with consideration of acidification. Liming has been carried out in three lakes, Surströmmasjön, Vallsjön and Trehörningen, since the 1

Vattenmolekylers rörelse: ett mått på små förändringar i hjärnan Visste du att bättre förståelse för nätverket av nervtrådar i hjärnan kan uppnås genom att mäta vattenmolekylernas rörelse? I denna studie användes detta för att undersöka om det finns förändringar i hjärnan hos personer med den autoimmuna sjukdomen SLE. Hur kan vattenmolekylers rörelse användas för att förstå hjärnans uppbyggnad? Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, SLE, is a disease with a large variation of symptoms. Some patients have neuropsychiatric symptoms, such as cognitive dysfunction and epilepsy. The classification of patients into NPSLE, with neuropsychiatric symptoms, and non-NPSLE, without these symptoms, is uncertain. Studying the white matter microstructure of SLE patients and comparing this with healthy controls

We need universal policies that can embrace the broad masses in the society. At the same time, this does not mean that these policies are good for everyone. There could be local knowledge and experiences from individuals that universal education policies fail to notice, see or neglect. It is important to have universal education policies that can embrace the broad masses. It is also important to k

Due to the development of technology, the value of the IP protected goods increases, and so does the harm done by the infringers. The TRIPS Agreement expressly provides for criminal sanctions for the serious cases of trademark counterfeiting and copyright piracy where the offences are committed willfully and on commercial scale. The TRIPS Agreement also reserves a possibility for introduction of m

The use of drugs has increased among young people in Sweden and it is the social workers responsibility to both support and control those who use drugs. According to Swedish law, all illegal drug use is viewed as abuse. However it has been shown that the concept of drug abuse is more complex and that it is not a guarantee that everyone who experiments with drugs will fall into long term use. The p

År 2017 förenades kvinnor över hela världen på sociala medier under hashtagen #metoo. Rörelsen spreds som en löpeld och uppmuntrade kvinnor att bryta tystnaden och tala ut om mäns maktmissbruk och sexuella våld mot kvinnor. Emellertid blev flera av kvinnorna, som offentligt berättade deras historia om sexuella trakasserier och övergrepp, åtalade och dömda för förtal. #Metoo-vågen har således bring
