Effekten av fastighetsköp via bolag − En studie i informationstillgång och transparens på den kommersiella fastighetsmarknaden

Idag sker majoriteten av alla kommersiella fastighetstransaktioner via bolag. Detta sker genom att först låta paketera fastigheterna i bolag, för att sedan avyttra aktierna i bolagen där fastigheterna ingår. Drivkraften bakom förvärvsmetoden är sänkta transaktionskostnader, främst genom skattebesparingar. Detta innebär att allt färre transaktioner sker på traditionellt vis, det vill säga som fast The trend of increasing commercial real estate transactions via companies has a negative impact on the process of estimating the taxable values. This due to the sharp decrease of comparison material for our Swedish authorities. Real estate transactions via companies also enable information about the transaction to be kept secret from outside parties. The study aims to show how various parties in t

Recruiting Diversity. A Conceptual Framework to Increase Workplace Diversity through Improved Recruitment Processes

Globalisation is increasing diversity in the workplace. However, while the pools of applicants are becoming more and more diverse, diversity is often not reflected in companies' workforces. The reasons for this include a lack of diversity management, processes that are not adapted to the increasing diversity, and biases. Therefore, this research aims to develop a conceptual framework for compa

Historical Gender Equality and Economic Development

To explore the historical relationship between gender equality and economic progress, this study implements two steps.

Will the electrical grid sustain the change towards an electrified freight truck fleet?

Med en elektrifiering av tunga lastbilar kommer elbehovet att ̈oka kraftigt och elnätet ̈ar inte förberedd p ̊a utmaningen. Det rader kapacitetsbrist i nätet och det behöver utredas hur den kan undvikas. Transportsektorn star infor stora förändringar för att minska sitt klimatavtyck. Elnätet ̈ar en kritisk infrastruktur för att möjliggöra denna omställning. Förutom att bygga ut finns det m ̈ojlighThe transport sector is facing major challenges to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions. The electrification of the freight fleet, which is an important step towards emission reduction, will result in capacity challenges in the grid. The aim of this thesis is to evaluate how the existing grid is affected by the electrification of heavy trucks and what solutions or reinforcements needs to be impleme

A Bland New Way To Imitate? A Qualitative Study Exploring the Phenomena of Blands Through Consumers' Perceptions

Thesis Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to explore the phenomenon of blands – A rise of brands that potentially adhere to a similar blueprint while claiming to be disruptive, unique and extraordinary. Moreover, this thesis aims to create an understanding of how consumers perceive blands as well as well as how value is created. Methodology: The methodology takes a social constructivist stan

Playing the game of law and healthcare – Non-binary people's access to and experiences of trans-specific healthcare in Finland

For non-binary people the law is not securing trans-specific healthcare in Finland. The current regulation is built on understanding of gender as binary and according to the Act on Legal Recognition of the Gender of Transsexuals (563/2002) a person can be confirmed to belong to the “opposite gender” if she/he fulfils the preconditions. One of the requirements is a mental health diagnosis prior to

Ownership Structure and Corporate Performance: An empirical study on the impact of managerial ownership & concentrated ownership on corporate performance of Swedish publicly traded firms

Purpose The purpose of this study is to empirically investigate the relationship between the corporate governance mechanisms, managerial ownership, and concentrated ownership, on corporate performance in Swedish companies. With its distinguishing corporate governance regime and financial environment, Sweden facilitates a unique contribution to the ongoing discussion on ownership structure and agen

Probing Gray Matter Microstructure in Alzheimer’s Disease using Diffusion MRI

Alzheimer’s disease is a neurodegenerative disease and the most common cause of dementia. Apart from an early and accurate diagnosis, the ability to track progressive changes is important for the development of disease modifying treatments. Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging is a potential method to detect the microstructural changes in the gray matter, which appear years prior to cortical atrop

Time to prime: En studie i auditory & olfactory priming

New perspectives on how to best market your brand or products is an ever changing subject. A seemingly unnoticed development in the eyes of ordinary people has been that marketing psychology has become more and more potent in the industry of marketers and brand developers. Benefitting from unconscious behaviors and manipulation has created tools for companies and organizations that this paper is s

The main purpose of this survey is to investigate new tramway alternatives in Lund, how effective and useful every new route is. The survey will be done by the author and information collected is checked and controlled by Lund Kommun staff and people working with Lund first tramway to Brunnshög. Every route of the tramway has stops which are located in well thought-out places, where they should h

Actions Managers Should Take to Build a High-Performing Virtual Team

The technological field can be seen as a huge advance for mankind before it emerged employers had to hire experts located in the same geographical area as the company. This changed with the introduction of information and communication technologies. Because of this, the labor market was able to become more global, meaning that employers do not need to hire employees who are physically close to the

This thesis explores the functions of memory, collective identity, and communication of those same categories to the reader by means of the poetic form in Hanna Rajs’ poetry collection Under månen (2020). Situated or framed within a discussion on Holocaust Literature, Rajs’ poetry is considered in the light of a general historical purview of Holocaust writing, and her specific place within an auth

Physics-Enhanced Machine Learning for Energy Systems

Building operations account for a large amount of energy usage and the HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) systems are the largest consumer of energy in this sector. To reduce this demand, more energy-efficient control algorithms are implemented and a popular choice for a controller is the model predictive control. However, this demands a precise model. Modeling the indoor climate in

"Det är redan bestämt innan man får vara delaktig" - en kvalitativ studie av hur äldre skildrar sina möjligheter att delta i Malmös urbana miljö och hur det påverkar uppfattningen av medborgarrollen

Antalet äldre förväntas att öka och i samband med urbanisering är det enligt WHO en av dagens största sociala transformationer. För att försäkra inkluderande och rättvis stadsmiljö för samtida och framtida äldre har WHO utvecklat ett program med kriterier för städer att följa. Sverige anses vara i framkant när det gäller äldrefrågor oh stöd för äldre. Samtidigt behöver lagstiftningar och stödfunkt
