The present thesis explores the elements that affect the relationship between importers and exporters of agricultural products, using as case study the market for tropical fruits in Sweden. For this, the thesis looks into secondary data, backed with some interviews, to i) identify some of the perceptions and expectations that importers of tropical fruit have, ii) the way these affect the possibili
Från förbränning av industri- och hushållsavfall erhålls bland annat restprodukten slagg, vilket är bottenaskan från förbränningen. Varje år skapas stora volymer både i Sverige och i övriga Europa. Den naturliga processen karbonatisering, vilken involverar en reaktion mellan luftens koldioxid och kalcium i materialet, startar då slagg efter förbränning kommer i kontakt med luft. Karbonatiseringen From incineration of industrial- and household waste bottom ash is generated. A large volume of bottom ash is generated yearly in both Sweden and Europe. The natural carbonation process, which involves a reaction between carbon dioxide and calcium in the material, is initiated when the bottom ash reaches contact with air. The carbonation binds carbon dioxide to the bottom ash, decreases the pH and
This thesis examines the Technical and Vocational Education and Training(TVET) related contents (including legal instruments and other guidance) from human rights bodies,ILO and UNESCO these three international bodies and also from China this national context. It analyzes the related legal frameworks of TVET from those sources and assesses their impacts in the national level, finally concludes the
This paper analyzes the impact of variables suggested by the trade-off theory and the pecking order theory, on publicly listed Swedish firms in a sample period of 8 years, ranging from 2003-2010. Also the relationship between leverage and weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is studied for the same set of firms and time periods. The model used is based on panel regression with fixed and random
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the challenges that have been related to managing and leading clever people and the characteristics that are unique for them. This was done by reviewing the available literature and summarizing the main findings. The literature is scarce and inadequately researched. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore the main characteristics of the
A Finnish national climate research programme, SILMU, has funded three projects in the field of ozone and UV radiation research during 1990-1995. The results of these projects are summarised here. The study of temperature sounding records made in Finland 1958-94 has revealed a warming trend in the lower and middle troposphere (up to 0.3 K/decade) and a cooling of similar order of magnitude in the
Background: Polygenic risk scores (PRS) are not yet standard in clinical risk assessments for familial breast cancer in Sweden. This study evaluated the distribution and impact of an established PRS (PRS313) in women undergoing clinical sequencing for hereditary breast cancer. Findings: We integrated PRS313 into a hereditary breast cancer gene panel used in clinical practice and calculated scores
Certifying solvers have long been standard for decision problems in Boolean satisfiability (SAT), allowing for proof logging and checking with very limited overhead, but developing similar tools for combinatorial optimization has remained a challenge. A recent promising approach covering a wide range of solving paradigms is pseudo-Boolean proof logging, but this has mostly consisted of proof-of-co
Despite substantial contextual differences between the West and China, systems approaches have been recognized as essential for addressing complex and dynamic management challenges, particularly within the field of innovation. However, most previous studies are rooted in traditional cybernetics within the framework of first-order science, which is characterized by linear processes and stable eleme
The study reformulates neofunctionalism as a theory of regional integration by adding insights from liberal intergovernmentalism and the theory of incomplete contracts which has been developed in new institutional economics. This framework is then applied to the integration processes that have been undertaken in the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) of the European Union (EU) since the outbreak of
In recent years an increase in stress and mental strain in the workplace has been reported for instance in office work (Arbetsmiljöverket, 2014). This study examined a model that combines concepts from Karasek and Theorell´s (1990) Job Demand-Control-Support model, which has earlier been related to stress, with Macan´s (1994) Time Management Behavioral model. The aim of the study was to investigat
Recently, two intracellular isoforms of CD59 were discovered in pancreatic beta cells. They proved crucial for insulin secretion and were named Isoforms Rescuing Insulin Secretion 1 and 2 (IRIS-1 and IRIS-2), whose expression decreased in type 2 diabetes (T2D). IRIS-1 and 2 were found across many different tissues on the mRNA level, including the brain. This Master's Thesis focuses on the role

The aim of this study is to investigate what causes the electoral success of different subtypes of populism through the ideational approach. Through a case study of Spain, the thesis examines the demand-side and supply-side factors that, together, favour the emergence of populist parties. In doing so, the thesis combines process-tracing method with quantitative data, providing a context-specific u
The aim of this study was to investigate the social worker's role and vision in the work with children and families who have a different language background. Social workers with families with several languages have expanded in Sweden in recent years, and that's why I think it is an interesting subject to study. I study about what room for maneuver they have in the meeting with the families

This study investigates and compares the value added by merger and acquisition activity within the airline industries of the United States of America and Europe following the deregulation of each respective market. An abnormal return event study methodology was performed with three different event window lengths using a final sample of 64 public airline mergers. The focus of the study was on abnor
For decades, entrepreneurs faced the same trade-off: either pursue cost leadership and grow fast through various scaling strategies or pursue differentiation strategies by emphasizing personalization of their services to customers. Nevertheless, the situation has changed when new technologies such as artificial intelligence, rising computing power, digitization of firms, or cloud services started
This thesis explores the changing symbolic meanings of parliamentary buildings in Georgia and Ukraine. It focuses on how these spaces evolved from symbols of Soviet authority to main sites of resistance and political struggle through protest movements. The study offers a comparative analysis of Georgia and Ukraine through six key events that illustrate the symbolic transformation of the parliament
This research has explored the role actors from various scales have in the production of Research, Innovation and Smart Specialisation Strategies (RIS3) in the Eastern and Southern Netherlands through its multi-level governance framework. This could be worrying, as the influence from higher-scale actors could weaken RIS3’s ability to create place-based programmes. In order to gain an understanding
