The main purpose of this thesis is to statistically analyze the impact of managerial overconfidence on cash dividends policy via fifty U.S. selected case firms during year 2008 to 2017. Intuition behind this is to take a closer look at and potentially detail the neoclassical MM dividends irrelevance policy, also to additionally take organizational behavior into consideration. In spite the fact th
Hypervelocity stars (HVSs) are stars located in the Galactic halo travelling with extremely high speeds. They are produced when a binary approches the supermassive black hole (SMBH) in the Galactic Center (GC) and gets tidally broken up. In this process one of the stars is ejected with high velocity. The angle between the velocity of the incoming binary and the velocity of the ejected HVS is alm
The influence of crowdfunding on financing entrepreneurial ventures and projects have been increasing in recent years. It allows founders of crowdfunding projects to achieve investments from a relatively big crowd using the internet. The recent rise of the crowdfunding phenomena attracts more project founders to establish it as a new entrepreneurial finance method, between bootstrapping and tradit
Tillgång till tillräckliga mängder vatten av god kvalitet är en väsentlig resurs för samhället. Det behövs för mänsklig konsumtion, för produktion i industrin, för fisket, etcetera. Det är därför mycket oroande att vattenkvaliteten i Europeiska unionen successivt försämras. Östersjön som är mycket påverkad av övergödning kan nämnas som ett exempel. Övergödning orsakas av utsläpp av näringsämnen iThe supply of good quality water is an essential resource for society. It is needed for human consumption, for production processes in the industry, for fishing, etcetera. The fact that the quality of waters within the European Union is continuously deteriorating is therefore of major concern. One example is the Baltic Sea, which is heavily affected by eutrophication. Eutrophication is caused b
The EU-funded project European Cultural Heritage Online (ECHO) aims to integrate resources from various domains within the field of cultural heritage, and make them available on the Internet. To accomplish this integration it is necessary to describe the various resources in a way that will achieve cross-domain interoperability. This description of digital resources is commonly referred to as
Att nyutexaminerade systemvetare kan utöva många olika typer av yrkesroller och att IS-disciplinen är svåridentifierad kräver en mångsidighet hos systemvetare och medför även att kompetenskraven kan variera. Denna uppsats belyser de kompetenskrav som företag ställer på nyutexaminerade systemvetare idag för att ge tips och vägledning till studenter under utbildning. Huvudpunkterna i uppsatsens teor

When initiating the research for my graduate paper I had a rather straightforward intent in mind. It was to determine if the research being conducted in the bio-health related field was negatively affected by the patent system. If the research was delayed by the patent system I wanted to apprehend why. I came to the conclusion that over the years the sphere where the exchange of intellectual prope
Personlighetstest är vanligt förekommande i samband med rekrytering på arbetsmarknaden, då det ökar den prediktiva validiteten. Ett problem är att vissa arbetssökande skönmålar sina svar för att öka chansen till anställning, vilket är möjligt då många test använder sig av självskattning. Tidigare har man funnit att neutraliserade testitems har lyckats motverka skönmålning. Metoden har emellertid e
The Logical Framework Approach (LFA) has been a prevailing project management tool in the international development sector for decades, largely driven by donors. However, few studies have analysed its use from the practitioner perspective. The few studies done on the topic flag several issues with LFA, and some also suggest alternatives. Sweden is a leading actor in the development aid sector, and
THIS STUDY IS CONCERNED with burnout and long-term sick leave, although instead of looking for several explanatory models and trying to answer the question as to why people are affected by this syndrome, the study is instead based on the idea of illness as experience. The methodology is traditionally ethnological, but with a phenomenological slant. The author makes use of an empirical material c
The environmental crisis, increased inequality and an aging population are likely to increase the demand for welfare services in the OECD countries. Economic growth has long been seen as a solution to these problems. However, this is no longer the case. Very few countries have managed to decouple economic performance from ecological footprints and greenhouse gas emissions. Even where this has been
Author: Sara Törnkrantz Title: Adopted to Sweden, A qualitative analysis of four adoptees experience Supervisor: Staffan Blomberg Assessor: Eva-Malin Antoniusson The aim of this study was to examine and analyze experiences that four people have of being adopted to Sweden. More specifically its aim was to try to understand why some of the adopted are showing mental illness and having mixed feeli
In tandem with the rapid expansion of mining in Peru, and the increased dependence on foreign direct investment into the sector, social conflicts have escalated in recent years. Protests and strikes have become common features of the mining sector, deterring investors and insurance companies alike. This thesis analyses the cause and problem of the protests – their underlying foundation and why the
Sexual violence is ubiquitous. It occurs everywhere. Due to the very nature of sex crimes, however, victim-survivors from sexual violence are much more vulnerable from ‘secondary victimization’ which is also known as ‘post crime victimization’ or ‘double victimization.’ Given that people get common knowledge on human rights issues from newspapers, in particular online articles today, I focused on
Within the context of the European Union Competition Law, a master's thesis entitled "Data as a Barrier to Entry and an Essential Facility: Law & Economics Analysis" conducts an in-depth investigation of the function that data plays in relation to competition law. The idea that data might be a valuable asset in the contemporary digital economy is presented in the very first part
The airline industry has been heavily affected by crises that have occurred in the last years. By using the theory of brand legitimacy and storytelling, a multimodal critical discourse analysis was conducted. 2020 is a year by many seen as a paradigm shift, due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Therefore, the study will examine marketing communication from 2018 and 2022 to get pre- and post-pandemic persp
Current advances in Deep Learning have shown significant improvements in common Machine Learning applications such as image, speech and text recognition. Specifically, in order to process time series, deep Neural Networks (NNs) with Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) units are widely used in sequence recognition problems to store recent information and to use it for future predictions. The efficiency i
