It is March 11th, 2022 and we are once again coming to you from Lund Observatory, Lund University in southern Sweden. Crossing our local Meridian today we have Diane Feuller who is a researcher here at Lund Observatory working on galactic archaeology using stellar abundances, ages and kin

Countless studies within M&As have examined factors that can explain bidding firms' abnormal returns, although, behavioral factors have mostly been overlooked. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of investor sentiment on value creation around M&A deal announcements in the Nordic markets. We examine two, in principle, homogeneous samples of 421 and 359 acquisitions betwee

The pandemic forced organizations to adopt a remote working mode which changed people’s working locations and communication methods from face-to-face to online. This qualitative study has utilized an in-depth interview method to research on how the employees perceive the communication challenges and their engagement during the remote working in the pandemic from a theoretical lens of sensemaking.
A recently identified polysaccharide utilization locus (PUL) from Bacteroides ovatus ATCC 8483 is transcriptionally up-regulated during growth on galacto- and glucomannans. It encodes two glycoside hydrolase family 26 (GH26) β-mannanases, BoMan26A and BoMan26B, and a GH36 α-galactosidase, BoGal36A. The PUL also includes two glycan-binding proteins, confirmed by β-mannan affinity electrophoresis. W
Seemingly neglected post-industrial spaces have often become crucial assets for movements seeking to inscribe new commons and public places in the urban fabric. Appropriating abandoned "Brachen" landscape or older factory complexes has allowed movements a foothold to build an urban world that is theirs. However, also movements clearly connected to industrialization, most notably the labor movement
This thesis asks why the EU has expanded its military interventions in Somalia to a broad, multifaceted engagement. The thesis is a theoretically-informed, empirically-driven case study. The analysis rest on three theoretical concepts of global justice. I have formulated assumptions from these conceptions of global justice, which direct the analysis in answering the research question. The primary
The successful economic performance of Pacific Asia is often held as a source of inspiration for aspiring catching-up countries. Notwithstanding, recent literature suggests that a key to the understanding of successful long-term economic performance lies not only in the ability to generate economic growth, but in limiting incidences of economic shrinking. Such analyses to explain the Asian economiThe successful economic performance of Pacific Asia is often held as a source of inspiration for aspiring catching-up countries.

While the general process of mineralization and bone formation during embryogenesis is well understood, little is known about the detailed mechanisms and the structural and compositional characteristics of developing bone. At present, studies on fetal bones have been conducted, but most of these studies have been on the macro- and microscale. Bone tissue constitutes of an organic and inorganic ma
Existing oculoplastic reconstructive surgical techniques are based on empirical knowledge and were established long before perfusion monitoring was possible. It is believed that an avascular graft should always be placed on a vascular bed or flap and also that the viable length of a flap depends on the width of its pedicle. The actual role of the length, width and thickness of a random flap in its

Background: Idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (IVF) is a rare cause of sudden cardiac arrest which may pose therapeutic and prognostic challenges. To date, the only effective treatment for survivors of cardiac arrest is the insertion of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). We sought to review the long-term outcome of a Swedish cohort with IVF. Methods and results: Fifty patients with
This paper reports and analyzes the author’s own experiences of implementing a “joke starting” strategy into the lecture format of a given course. The “joke starting” strategy meant that every lecture in the studied course was (jump) started with a small joke. Thus, we investigate one particular approach to consciously use humor in teaching, an area well represented in the literature. The ambition
This paper explores the impact of quantitative easing on debt in Sweden and the Euro area. The study examines the debt levels of both households and non-financial corporations and compares the results between Sweden and the Euro area. Using the historical balance sheets of the Riksbank and the European Central Bank, three hypotheses are tested using OLS time series regressions. The first hypothesi
Summary This thesis is a study which primary objective is to examine the court´s risk assessment in legal custody, and contact disputes when a child is at risk of being harmed. My thesis also includes an interdisciplinary perspective to give a more detailed understanding of the process – of which consequences it entails if authorities and courts don´t make reliable risk assessments. Physical, psyc
The main intention with this thesis is to investigate the relationship between dividends and investments. We hypothesize that firms may be forced to cut back on investments if dividends are not curtailed in times of poor annual earnings. According to contemporary theories, we argue that firms may be reluctant to cut back on dividends even when annual earnings decline and the level of investments w
Lagstiftningen för konkursgäldenären har genom historien förändrats på ett förhållandevis omfattande sätt. I den romerska rätten var personalexekution huvudregel men i vissa fall kunde gäldenären få lättnader. Genom historien har utvecklingen gått mot en mildare behandling av konkursgäldenären. Idag är ¬– för den juridiska personen – istället undantaget huvudregel, att lättnad sker, och att straffThe law of bankruptcy debtors has historically changed in a relatively comprehensive manner. In Roman law enslavement and similar treatment was the common consequence. In some cases the debtor could obtain relief, but this was an exception. Throughout history, the trend has gone towards a more lenient treatment of the bankrupt debtor. Today, for the legal entity, the exception is no longer an exce
