This thesis investigates the influence of country-specific political risk on credit default swap spreads. The research includes a sample of 30 companies over a time period of more than 13 years. The companies are divided into two sets of sub-groups, dependent on whether they are banks or not and which country they are based in. The hypothesis is that banks should be more influenced by political ri
Effects of carbon functionalization on the catalytic properties of the space underneath epitaxial graphene flakes on Ir(111) are investigated with Ambient Pressure X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy studies of oxygen hydrogenation. The 0.1 mbar oxygen atmosphere hosting O-intercalated graphene flakes was replaced with hydrogen pulses lasting 50 s each, triggering the water formation. Underneath prisChemical reactions confined to near atomic scales have many hypothesized applications. The demand for ever smaller electronical components with superior electric properties for example requires atoms to group in specific shapes that can only be cast in confined spaces. Biological cells are an example of confined reactions in the nature. Hence, in order to recreate those processes, to develop bette
Recent archaeological excavations have uncovered an Iron Age temple house in Vång providing new context to the centrality of Iron Age central Blekinge in Sweden, as well as its development into the Medieval period. This thesis aims to examine how that development unfolded using the lens of affordance theory combined with a GIS assisted source pluralistic analysis. Comparing Iron Age monuments with
Behandling av personuppgifter, vilket undersöks i denna uppsats, sker i den offentliga och privata sektorn, och i organisationer av alla storlekar. Personuppgiftsbehandlingar förekommer i varje gren av en organisation och hos alla olika aktörer, inom så spridda områden som rättsväsendet eller en frisörsalong. Mer specifikt syftar denna uppsats till att studera definitionen av "behandling"Personal data processing, as will be examined in this thesis, occurs in the public and the private sectors, in organisations of every size. It occurs in every branch of an organisation and by all different actors, be it law-enforcement or a hairdresser saloon. More specifically this thesis aims to study the definition of ‘processing’ and attempts to highlight the features and characterisation of i
The first coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak in China and has become a public health emergency of international concern. Several countries have issued comprehensive social distancing policies responses to the pandemic. This study was performed in an attempt to understand the impact of a lockdown on COVID-19 cases through a case study in Scandinavia. A validated database was used to origi
The European Security Strategy (ESS) developed in 2003 and the National Security Strategy of the United States of America (NSS) was issued in 2002. In this thesis these two documents are compared and analyzed with reference to the securitization theory. The comparison focus on identified threats and how they aim to refute them. The choice of documents is partly based on, them being the first secu
With the development of society the risks have become more complex and difficult to overview. Not least because of the inter¬dependencies that exist between them. This master thesis aims to study critical societal functions dependencies in the primary care in Skåne and to investigate the possibility of intro¬ducing some kind of basic security levels in those functions. The study includes four main
The medically important drug target galectin-3 binds galactose-containing moieties on glycoproteins through an intricate pattern of hydrogen bonds to a largely polar surface-exposed binding site. All successful inhibitors of galectin-3 to date have been based on mono- or disaccharide cores closely resembling natural ligands. A detailed understanding of the H-bonding networks in these natural liganThe medically important drug target galectin-3 binds galactose-containing moieties on glycoproteins through an intricate pattern of hydrogen bonds to a largely polar surface-exposed binding site.

Little is known about how gendered understandings of patients can inform professionals’ discretionary actions and decisions to include or exclude in clinical practice. Using Connell's poststructuralist perspectives on gender as an analytic framework, this article aims to investigate how professionals’ articulations of depression are framed by signs of masculinity and femininity, and how these artiLittle is known about how gendered understandings of patients can inform professionals’ discretionary actions and decisions to include or exclude in clinical practice.

The extent of vegetation openness in past European landscapes is widely debated. In particular, the temperate forest biome has traditionally been defined as dense, closed-canopy forest; however, some argue that large herbivores maintained greater openness or even wood-pasture conditions. Here, we address this question for the Last Interglacial period (129,000–116,000 years ago), before Homo sapien
With the aim to bridge the pressure gap between traditional surface science and industrial applications, heterogeneous catalytic reactions on model catalysts are increasingly studied at near-ambient pressures. Under those conditions, the gas phase has been shown to play an important role during the interaction at the gas-surface interface making it complex to study. This complexity can be capturedWith the aim to bridge the pressure gap between traditional surface science and industrial applications, heterogeneous catalytic reactions on model catalysts are increasingly studied at near-ambient pressures.

Situated in the intersection of the literature on QoL and lifestyle migration, this paper contributes to the discussion of three subjective components of QoL after migrating to another country. These are hedonic (happiness), evaluative (life satisfaction) and eudaimonic (having a purposeful or worthwhile life). Based on 36 in-depth interviews to Swedish citizens permanently living in Portugal, a g
How should we regulate independent central banks? The Riksbank and its monetary policy toolkit .Within what boundaries are independent central banks allowed to operate? This question is seldom discussed but has gained prominence due to the changes in monetary policy since the 2008/09 financial crisis. Notably, the Swedish central bank, the Riksbank, along with other central banks, has expanded its
Background: Escherichia coli, the most common bacterium causing urinary tract infections (UTIs), is increasinglyreported as resistant to multiple antibiotics. Swedish surveillance data from hospital and primary health care(PHC) report a 17%–19% prevalence of resistance to ciprofloxacin in E. coli from urine cultures in men over20 years of age. Surveillance data may include nosocomial infections.

To meet national and international emission targets, the Swedish building sector needs to drastically reduce its carbon dioxide emissions, and to do so, a change in building techniques and materials is needed. Bio-based materials contribute to less emissions than conventional materials, like steel and concrete, but remain rather unknown to modern building sciences.
