Over the last decades sustainability reporting has developed as a global trend among international corporations as the debates regarding global warming and sustainable development have been heating up. International organisations and governmental institutions are setting the agenda for the development by introducing goals and regulations on a global, regional and national scale. The EU’s introduct
Greater capital mobility and financial integration have generated greater tax avoidance and international tax competition. This has modified negatively the tax systems of countries that keep taxing corporate profits: the system is now more inefficient, might be more regressive and tax authorities have less sovereignty. This is especially relevant for developing economies, since corporate tax reven
This thesis is a study of the possibilities of introducing freight trams on tram networks in cities and to examine the possibilities in Helsingborg as a concrete example. The city of Helsingborg has plans to in the next ten years start the building of a new tram network in the city, a measure implemented to increase the capacity of the public transport system and to improve the environment in the
The purpose of this essay is to investigate the ecclesiological meaning of church buildings in the context of the Church of Sweden. In order to investigate views of ecclesiology and church self-understanding through history, based on the church building as a symbol, I have chosen to study how church buildings are presented in several Swedish sermons. In this essay I analyze and compare four sermo
Consistent differences in behavior between individuals within a population can contribute to community and system complexity by adding alternate trophic linkages and maintaining diversity. Past studies have examined individual differences in behavior as well as the occurrence of cannibalism within populations, but not the link between predator behavioral type and cannibalism.

Effective and fair taxation is imperative for development and thus sustainable peace in post-conflict countries; yet there is a glaring paucity of generalizable research on the subject. Drawing on theories from Political Economy and Comparative Politics this thesis investigates how political veto powers affect these states’ ability to mobilize domestic resources. An integrated model of delayed pol

Sweden is currently at the verge of an economic downturn, while mental health disorders and psychosomatic problems are the most common health issue amongst children. In this paper, we examine the relationship between business cycles and c
Background: Colorectal cancer constitutes a major malignancy and the fourth major cause of deaths associated with cancer. Chronic inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohn´s disease and ulcerative colitis are one of the risk factors for the development of CRC. Cysteinyl leukotrienes (CysLTs) regulate both acute and chronic inflammation through lipophilic signaling. Upregulation of the expression of C
Background In traditional retailing, where the challenge lies in providing goods in a store with limited space while minimizing tied up capital and obsolescence, good inventory management is often an important competitive advantage. However, the emergence of the online channel changes some of the challenges, and the associated requirements on inventory management. These dierences are studied in th
Bränder i nattklubbar är ständigt återkommande och många gånger med förödande konsekvenser till följd. Station nightclub och Kiss nightclub är två exempel på bränder med ett stort antal döda. För oss i Sverige lever inte minst minnena från Göteborgsbranden kvar, en brand som kostade 63 ungdomars liv. Att se till att nattklubbar och krogmiljöer är så säkra som möjligt att vistas i är av största vik
The outbreak of COVID-19 plunged the world economy into a pandemic with severe consequences. However, the pandemic may very well have been a blessing in disguise for the mitigation of another killer: ambient air pollution. This study investigates how the COVID-19 lockdown restrictions in India affected the ambient air pollution concentrations in a sample of Indian cities. Based on air pollution da
Trade integration is thought to benefit developing countries, so what is the cost of staying out of trade agreements? This paper studies the case of Nigeria, which, like its neighbours in West Africa and other ACP countries, has the option of entering an Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) with the European Union (EU), but has chosen not to. Hence, this study investigates the question: Would Nige
