The aim of this thesis is to study whether high retail ownership of a firm impacts the market response to an earnings announcement. To this end, I utilize the traditional event-study methodology in combination with cross-sectional regression. The latter is used to examine whether a company’s ownership structure affects abnormal returns. Two event windows were analyzed, a three-day window and an el
A case study house for a regenerative architecture. What would a regenerative architecture look like, in the context of a wetland landscape? With climate catastrophes becoming the new reality for an increasing amount of communities, floods among them, how would we live in a landscape, and with what materials would we build, in order to mitigate these issues? How do we live with a landscape, inste
E.M. Forster’s Maurice (1971) and Stephen Spender’s The Temple (1988) were written at the beginning of the 20th century and they both portray narratives of what life could look like for men who experienced attraction towards other men at the time. In this essay I examine how homosexuality is represented in Maurice and The Temple, and in what ways the portrayals of homosexuality in the two novels r
In biological observation of small flying animals, structured light methods can be used in order to make high frequency, no contact measurements in flight. Using a laser pointer that projects a 5625 point mesh pattern, as well as two high-speed cameras, three different methods for estimating the shape of 3D objects have been developed and evaluated. The cameras were calibrated, as well as the lase
The marine environment faces significant changes due to anthropogenic activities, with urbanisation and "marine sprawl" introducing artificial structures that disrupt natural ecosystems. Artificial reefs (AR) and nature-inclusive design offer solutions to enhance habitat complexity and foster ecological restoration. This thesis investigates how AR design and material properties can suppo
The aim of this master's thesis is to establish material models for three rubber materials using macroscopic data collected using Digital Image Correlation, DIC. DIC is a non-contact optical technique for measuring strain and displacement in a material by tracking points on a material during the deformation process.\\ The rubber materials are tested in both uniaxial tension and compression, fr
Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) circuits are critical in modern Wi-Fi receivers, playing a key role in power management and protecting the radio frequency (RF) front-end from saturation and potential damage. This thesis presents the design and evaluation of a novel rectifier circuit conceptualized for use in an RSSI system within an industry-standard 22nm CMOS node, specifically targetin
The Museum of Artistic Process and Public Art – An exploration of the building’s distinct character and a proposal for an extension. In Lund, you’ll find a museum unlike any other – the Museum of Artistic Process and Public Art (Skissernas Museum). Renowned for its exceptional collection, it has also been my workplace for the past two years. This building, which I came to know in detail through my
Smart firefighting is a concept in which the rescue service uses technological aids to retrieve, compile and present data as part of intelligence gathering to work out their firefighting strategy. The aim of this report is to map what kind of sensors in present-day smart buildings management systems that may offer relevant data in terms of operational support for the rescue service. Interviews hav
Vattenkraft är en omfattande nationell industri som förser Sverige med ungefär 45 % av dess energiproduktion (Molin 2016). Ett problem branschen brottas med är rödfärgade utfällningar som sätter igen mätinstrument och dränageledningar vid dammarna, så kallat. rödslam. Rödslammet produceras av järnoxiderande bakterier, FeOB, som oxiderar Fe(II) till Fe(III) (Hamrén 2013). Det partikulära järnet aHydropower is an extensive national industry which supplies Sweden with about 45 % of its total energy produced (Molin 2016). A problem which the industry is currently fighting is the presence of ochre-colored precipitations that clog vital measuring tools and drainage pipes at the dams, commonly called red mud. The red mud is produced by iron-oxidizing bacteria, FeOB, which oxidize Fe(II) to F
An increase in the use of natural resources is directly associated with an increased environmental impact. It is therefore of importance to lead the manufacturing industry towards a route of material efficiency. Remanufacturing is an industrial process that brings a used product and its components back to like-new or better condition. By avoiding manufacturing of new products, great savings in vir
Five Xantha-m chlorophyll-deficient mutants which are lethal after the seedling stage have been already discovered in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and a candidate gene, SecA1, was recently identified by Bulked segregant analysis (BSA). SecA1 protein participates in the stroma-to-lumen protein transfer across the thylakoid membrane. In this study, the Xantha-m gene was analyzed. Western blotting exp
It is commonly assumed that algorithmic curation of search results creates filter bubbles, where users’ beliefs are continually reinforced and opposing views are suppressed. However, empirical evidence has failed to support this hypothesis. Instead, we suggest that filter bubbles may result from individuals acting selectively on information made available by search engines. When presented with sea
Government and individual responses to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic have had significant health and economic consequences. Governments imposed measures, including lockdowns, designed to suppress transmission and alleviate the burden on health systems, while private individuals exercised voluntary social distancing, compliance with government-imposed measures and exhibited incre
Purpose: This study aims to add and extend onto the existing studies regarding open innovation in SMEs but to tackle it from a neglected angle that is operating during times of uncertainty. Additionally, this study seeks to explore the mechanisms which SMEs use to reduce R&D budgets, increase the quality of innovations and continue the pace of innovations during the COVID-19 pandemic.
