Purpose: The purpose of this study has been to critically evaluate the newly issued revenue recognition standard’s ability to reflect economic reality. Methodology: To fulfil the purpose of this study, a qualitative document analysis of how different wide-spread perceptions of economic reality have been accommodated by the IASB under the development of IFRS 15 has been conducted with a backdrop i
The international trade in coffee is widely acknowledged to perpetuate unequal structures between producing and consuming countries. While coffee is largely grown in and provides a large proportion of income for developing countries, most of the value-added activities are performed in developed countries. This paradox is exemplified in the case of Uganda where coffee is exported almost exclusively
The under-representation of women in public decision-making in Peru has reaffirmed the need for further studying the reasons for low representation. This study focuses on the case at the lowest level of the Peruvian Judiciary: the Justices of the Peace (JoP) who judge cases in their community based on the knowledge of the specific sets of values in the community. The study shines light on the (und
The global community has acknowledged the role of cities and specifically of public spaces for achieving sustainable development. The purpose of this study is to contribute to increasing knowledge on the significance of public spaces for social sustainability to create sustainable cities and communities. To this end, the study applies the lively public space concept to understand the relationship
Rumour refutation is a series of campaigns that the Chinese authorities invest in combating 'the overflow' of network rumours, especially since 2017. These campaigns reflect the Chinese's knowledge of rumour as false and harmful. Among which #PoliceRefuteRumours on social media platform Weibo is one of the most typical forms conducted most explicitly and exposed problematically. Throug
For every stock investor, the question of how many stocks to buy is fundamental. The recommendations from the literature is wide and ranges from 10 to over 300. As a contrast, 41.79% of Swedish shareholders held only one stock in year 2020. This thesis studies the Swedish stock market between 2011 and 2020 which to the authors knowledge not has been done before within the research space of Diversi
Although considered to be one of the greatest achievements of the European integration process and continuously shown to be favoured by a majority of Europeans, the principle of Freedom of Movement (FOM), with an emphasis on Freedom of Movement of Persons (FOMOP) has been increasingly politicised over the past few years. In the light of reintroduced border controls in 2015, and a heightened debate
The cumulative growth that the market of automobiles has seen since the end of the second world war, has had a major impact on both the way we plan our societies and in the way we live our lives. In Sweden from 1950 to 1960, car-ownership increased five-fold, making it the most car-dense country in Europe at the time – bringing along with it major car-centric urban renewal schemes, such as ‘Norrma
Digital technologies and their significance to society have caused their existence and impact to be referred to as entailing a digital revolution. For businesses, digitalization is the use of digital technologies to create new business models and value-adding activities. The use of digital technologies can in turn result in possible improvements in several areas e.g., productivity. The possible ou
The name dispute between Greece and North Macedonia was a 27-year-long diplomatic battle over the name of the latter state. In this thesis, a narrative analysis is applied to discern each state's official conflict narrative during the period 2008–2020 in order to examine (1) how they differ from each other, (2) how they develop over time and (3) how they affect the conflict itself. Building on
In this thesis, the tilt locking scheme is applied to create an error signal that monitors length changes in a fibre-based microcavity. To find a robust and precise locking technique is an essential step towards quantum operations on single rare-earth ions doped in microcrystals. Quantum computing and information is a frontier of modern physics. Many scholars believe that Quantum technology will
The unbalanced supply and demand will raise the distribution and transportation problems. Lateral transhipment (called stock redistribution) between two Customer Centres (CC) has been implementing to reduce unhealthy inventories. The two significant issues are the inefficient process and unnecessary cost of reactive lateral transhipment. The searching and communication processes can take longer th
This thesis explores the emerging strategy of nation sub-branding and critically argues for the domestic implications it has on national identities and the falsely promoted tradition of social justice. The study situates itself within the critical cultural stream of nation branding research, rejecting, however, prior scholarly presumption that a segmented nation brand could mean less marginalizati
Multiple missense mutations in the tetrameric transmembrane protein human aquaporin 5 (HsAQP5), which is a member of the water conducting aquaporin superfamily, is reported to cause nonepidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma (NEPPK), which is a diffuse and autosomal-dominant skin disease. A white appearance and spongy texture of the skin arise after exposure to water which is thought to be caused b
Purpose: The fundamental aim of this thesis is to investigate how strongly the Personalized Marketing (PM) factors identified in previous literature correlate with millennials’, aged 24 to 40, intention to act upon personalized advertisements on Facebook. Thereafter, the goal was to compare the extent to which the outcomes varied depending on millennials' age group and gender. Methodology: The
The way conflicts are understood depends on how identities are conveyed through media. Newspapers’ reports of the Gilets Jaunes protests in France during the autumn 2018 are no exception. One factor that can influence which choices are made in describing identity, is the distance between the place of publication and the location of events. Articles from Le Figaro and The Times are analysed using d
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a widely publicised corporate practice that has become widespread across the globe in the context of globalisation. Still, past research has found considerable variation in the understanding and practice of CSR among companies in different national contexts. China and Sweden, two countries with very different political and economic environments, have been c
The primary purpose of this paper is to further build on research related to capability development in order to explore hindrances and benefits of internal capability development and external partnerships as ways to improve performance. The beverage industry is used as the focus context since the companies in this industry are increasingly responding to external trends and looking for ways to deve
Decisions taken in the boardroom are considered to be of crucial importance for corporate governance, not least due to their wide-ranging implications for both an organization and its stakeholders. To take effective decisions on the board, the availability of the right skills and knowledge is deemed essential. Such skills and knowledge largely derive from board members previous educational and fun
Purpose The author aims to gain a detailed understanding of the different supply chain actors’ perspectives on sustainable supply chain management and its implementation in the process of a global chemistry manufacturer in Turkey. In order to identify what is missing and hindering the implementation of sustainability in SCM as well as the opportunities which arise out of SSCM for both company and
