Problem - Trust has the potential to reduce risk and uncertainty that is inherent within entrepreneurial activities. However, few entrepreneurship studies have examined the role of trust during the venture creation process. Additionally, researchers have called for more studies exploring trusting entrepreneurial behaviour and processes across different contexts. Aim - This study aimed to add to t
The 13th of October 2006, the Swedish parliament approved a change in the Foreign Policy. For the first time the Government choose to use a maritime unit in peace-time operations. This had never been done before. The Swedish navy was trained and ready for this, due to the new overall policy, regarding the Armed Forces of Sweden from 2004. The aim of this study is to analyse the process of agenda s
The global steel industry accounts for 8–10 % of global CO2 emissions and requires deep decarbonisation for achieving the targets set in the Paris Agreement. However, no low-emission primary steel production technology has yet been commercially feasible or deployed. Through analysing revisions and additions of European Union climate policy, we show that green hydrogen-based steelmaking in competitThe global steel industry accounts for 8–10 % of global CO2 emissions and requires deep decarbonisation for achieving the targets set in the Paris Agreement.

"Pathology and Genetics of Tumours of Soft Tissue and Bone" is the fifth volume in the new WHO series on histological and genetic typing of human tumours. It covers tumours of soft tissue and bone including inherited tumour syndromes. Each entity is extensively discussed with information on clinicopathological, epidemiological, immunophenotypic and genetic aspects of these diseases. Diagnostic cr
This thesis aims to identify power structures in bilateral development assistance using the Norwegian Oil for Development (OfD) programme in Timor-Leste as a case study. Relying mainly on the works of Hughes (2009) and Abrahamsen (2004), the paper presents several examples of power structures considering the aid dependency of Timor- Leste, and the claimed altruistic intentions of the OfD programme
This Master’s thesis is based on a field study conducted at the IdéA, a public library and meeting place in Drottninghög, Helsingborg, chosen because of its urban development mission. This mission should be understood in relation to the redevelopment plan of the Million Program area Drottninghög, where IdéA is located. In this thesis formulations and interpretations of the urban development missio
DIY Performance Culture in Folkets Park. Ian Muller This thesis is a qualitative applied cultural analysis of Folkets Park, Malmö: specifically Do It Yourself (DIY) creative theatrical performance as a form of playing. During the summer of 2012, over 1,000 quantitative Social Return on Investment surveys were collected for the city to assess the park’s ‘value’ to visitors compared to the municip
In this essay, I investigate whether Solomonoff’s prior can be used to solve the problem of the priors for Bayesianism. In outline, the idea is to give higher prior probability to hypotheses that are "simpler", where simplicity is given a precise formal definition. I begin with a review of Bayesianism, including a survey of past proposed solutions of the problem of the priors. I then intr
This paper analyses how racial wage gaps amongst women in the Brazilian urban labour market have evolved in response to a strong increase in workers’ skills between 2001 and 2011. For this purpose, Melly (2005, 2006) quantile decomposition frameworks will be applied using PNAD data. In so doing we acknowledges a gap in the literature by focusing on women instead of men, extending wage decompositio
Abstract Through the concept of discourse we understand how the reality in one domain is constructed through linguistic combinations, where each of the signs receives its meaning in relation to one another . In the following essay I analyze, through Laclau and Mouffe’s discourse theory, how the Sweden Democrats is trying to frame and establish their political discourse on immigration in the Swed
Thesis purpose: The purpose of this thesis revolves around investigating which factors a company should consider when attempting to dual brand a wide array of products. Methodology: Our thesis intends to investigate the opinions of dual branding among FMCG companies within the Swedish market. We have conducted a qualitative approach, consisting of interviewing five marketing practitioners, mostly
The aim of this paper is to investigate the performance of hedge funds during the period between December 1999 and March 2012. We consider 8 different investment styles for the European market. As it has been argued in several papers hedge funds differ from traditional funds, since it allows for diversification and lower systematic risk. Previous studies show inconclusive results regarding whether
There is probably millions of photographs in the world that no one knows about because of the difficulty archivists have writing about them. It is exceedingly difficult to classify and describe photographs and very often textual models for written sources are applied uncritically to visual materials. Most libraries, archives and museums are now involved in the process of digitisation to improve ac
The mission aims to investigate the possibility to systematically document the knowledge and experience within the context of the daily work in order to safeguard the human capital for more efficient resource allocation, and to prepare recommendations on how the firm Networks Logistics can achieve a more rational knowledge processing. Methodology In the spirit of investigating Networks current kno

This report deals with pilot-based channel estimation in wireless OFDM systems. We assume that the receiver is able to use all transmitted pilots, which is the case in broadcasting and in the downlink of a multiuser system. Four estimators (of which two have been proposed in the literature) are compared, both in terms of mean-squared error and bit-error rates. In the latter case, we simulate a mul
Firms in local industries maintain their capability to generate new export varieties by simultaneously exploiting internal and external knowledge resources. The paper introduces the notion variety triplet' to distinguish individual export varieties, where a triplet is a unique combination of a firm, a product code and a destination country. For each date, the set of variety triplets in each local
The progression of diabetes is accompanied by increasing demand to the beta-cells to produce and secrete more insulin, requiring complex beta-cell adaptations. Functionally-active and ubiquitous non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have the capacity to take part in such adaptations as they have been shown to be key regulatory molecules in various biological processes. In the pancreatic islets, the function of
Abstract As custom multicore architectures become more and more common for DSP applications, instruction selection and scheduling for such applications and architectures become important topics. In this paper, we explore the effects of defining the problem of finding an optimal instruction selection and scheduling as a constraint satisfaction problem (CSP). We incorporate methods based on sub-grap
