This paper explores home bias and the performance of exchange traded funds (ETFs) and bonds under the context of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG). It analyzes investment strategies led by non-financial variables such as sustainable and responsible investment and how it affects the expected returns and risk and if the home bias phenomenon is weaker when following the said strategy. The
When they migrate to another Member State (MS), EU citizens must adjust to a country whose legal environment is composed of both national laws and EU laws. Additionally, mobile EU citizens have their own legal culture which crafts the way they make sense of mundane circumstances and social interactions. What comes out of the mutual interplay between the host MS’s legal environment and mobile EU ci
Covid19 pandemin har inneburit stora utmaningar för psykisk hälsa globalt, dels på grund av begränsningar som införts för att minska smittspridningen såsom social distansering, men också rädslan som följer att leva under oroliga tider. Tidigare studier har bidragit till förklaringar av covid19’s effekter på psykisk hälsa genom att fokusera på antingen personlighetsbaserade eller kontextuella faktoThe covid19 pandemic has presented great challenges to mental health globally, in part due to restrictions implemented in the wake of the pandemic; such as social distancing, but also due to the fear and psychological distress associated with living during times of crisis. Prior studies have contributed to explaining covid19’s effects on mental health by addressing either personality-based or cont
The purpose of this paper is to shed light on museum visitors’ experiences during the pandemic. Precisely, we aim to investigate visitors’ expectations and experiences towards digital channels and identify potential gaps between museums’ offering and what visitors’ are looking for, further providing insights on the perceived advantages and limitations of museums’ digital transformation. The rese
In a global social divide between modern and traditional, medicine has fallen into two sides. Still, much of modern medicine exists because of traditional medicinal knowledge, yet the latter is rarely given any recognition. Despite increasing juridical attempts to protect indigenous groups and their traditional knowledge from biopiracy, the issue remains prevalent. Therefore, this thesis looks at
Research question: Investigate the maturity of takt implementation in the organization and suggest areas for further improvements to maximize the outcome of the change effort. Deliverables: The project has focused on creating a comprehensive view of the maturity in the takt implementation and the results are delivered in a written report and an oral presentation both to Tetra Pak and Lund Universi
The purpose of this essay was to research and study the accountability of NGOs. The main question dealt with is with what measures and mechanisms NGOs handles critic on legitimacy and accountability deficit. It defines accountability and non-governmental organisations to facilitate an understanding of the concepts and notions of the study and goes on to discuss the criticism faced by NGOs, mainly
This thesis concerns oaths, curses, and prayers in Roman comedy, more precisely the comedies by the playwriter Terence (185/84 - 159 BC). So-called informal/interjectional oaths and prayers constitute the main focus of this investigation, however, asseverations, formal oaths, formal prayers, and curses are included as well. In this study, carried out by utilizing the methodological frameworks herm
The source of mercury (Hg) in petroleum is debated in the literature and could stem from; Hg rich black shales producing petroleum, coals, proximity to deep faults acting as migration routes from deep Hg sources, and proximity to large igneous provinces. In an attempt to cast light on the source of Hg in oils on the Norwegian Shelf 268 mainly organic rich core samples from wells in the North Sea,
Epitaxial shell is vital for enhancing the optoelectronic performance of semiconductor quantum dots (QDs), especially for the wide bandgap blue QDs, yet the shell crystal structure's impact on thermal stability and photophysical behavior remains unexplored. It is reported that the ligand-directed synthesis of ZnS shells with zinc blende (ZB) or wurtzite (WZ) structure on blue WZ CdZnS cores, where
Popular Abstract in Swedish Syftet med avhandlingen är att kritiskt undersöka hur högt fettintag hänger samman med övriga kostvanor, livsstilsvanor och socioekonomisk status och om högt fettintag påverkar risken att insjukna i postmenopausal bröstcancer. Intag av fett och sambandet med hälsa är ett kontroversiellt område. Trots att det länge funnits officiella rekommendationer om hur mycket fett The aim was to explore the inherent meaning of total fat and to examine the associations between relative fat intake and postmenopausal breast cancer. Furthermore, the impacts of the alterations in dietary assessment routines are discussed. This thesis uses data from the Malmö Diet and Cancer study, a prospective cohort study. Information on dietary habits, lifestyle, and socioeconomic factors wa
We note that today ideas and models regarding both how to perform activities and how to pre¬sent oneself are generously offered to all organisations. Thus ideas concerning organisational models, management principles and quality assurance travel between countries, fields and organisations (Czarniawska and Sevòn, 1996). Organisations in the public sector, faced with the demand for higher productivi
Purpose: The authors' primary goal was to investigate the potential of past tense inflection as a clinical marker of Danish specific language impairment (SLI). They also wished to test the predictions of the extended optional infinitive (EOI) account and processing based accounts of SLI on Danish. Method: Using sentence completion and sentence repetition tasks, the authors investigated the use of
BACKGROUND: Heart or lung recipients are taught about a new lifestyle, risk factors, medication, food restrictions and exercise so they can take an active role and responsibility for disease management after transplantation. However, little is known about patients' experiences of information and support in these situations. OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to illuminate how patients, six months
The endwall heat transfer characteristics at the turn section in a two-pass square channel have been examined experimentally using a liquid crystal thermal imaging technique. The effects of periodic ribs on the endwall heat transfer are also discussed. Results indicate that the heat transfer at the turn section in the absence of ribs is dominated by the flow impingement. Close to the impingement r
OBJECTIVE: Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) regulates gametogenesis through binding to its receptor (FSHR). In women, the Thr307Ala and Asn680Ser polymorphisms in the FSHR gene affect reproductive function, but it is not clear whether they have any impact on spermatogenesis and have mainly been investigated in infertile men of varying ages. The aim of the present study was therefore to examine
The valence photoionization and resonant Auger decay at 4d resonances below the 4d ionization threshold in Sb-4 clusters have been studied experimentally by means of photoelectron spectroscopy. The 4d absorption spectrum in the photon energy region from 30 to 36 eV has been recorded using the constant ionic state (CIS) partial electron yield (PEY), and the CIS spectra for various ionic states are
