There is a circularity problem in Scanlon’s account of promises. Some suggest that this problem can be resolved by incorporating aspects of a social practice view on promises into Scanlon’s framework. I argue that Scanlon’s account can be saved from the circularity problem without relying on this social practice view.
There are signs that an increasing number of people are questioning monogamy and its restrictions on the individual. Should we then view polyamory as more desirable? Or does monogamy possess some sort of special value? I argue that while monogamy may have some special value, we have not defined what that would be, and so polyamory could be seen as more desirable.
This thesis models fusion reactions for the production of superheavy elements using a fusion by diusion model. The work further develops the diusion model in Ref. [1], achieving signicant computational speedup. In the diffusion model, I demonstrate that the use of a Markov chain method in place of a Langevin random walk method decreases computational time signicantly, by at least two orders of mag
Syfte: Denna studie har som mål att undersöka sambandet mellan förändring i kassaflöde och börsvärde och om detta samband påverkas av tidsperioden. Metod: Ekonomisk data samlas in från databasen Börsdata och analyseras med statistiska analysmetoder. Teoretiskt ramverk: Studien bygger på teorier som behandlar informationsinnehållet i tillgångars pris, kassaflödet, samt värdering av företag. E
Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOF) are a group of polymeric porous self-assembly structures consisting of a combination of coordinated metal ions and organic-linker molecules resulting in supramolecules with one-, two- or three-dimensional structures. The porosity of the macromolecule allows smaller molecules to enter and remain coordinated via intermolecular interactions, therefore the potential use
IPO underpricing is a researched phenomenon, with academics trying to understand its causes. This study investigates the potential explanations for this event, focusing on the Swedish market from 2000 to 2023. Using a dataset comprising 539 IPOs, including 253 technology firms, the analysis investigates how firm characteristics, market conditions, and sector affiliation influence first-day returns
The switch from mechanical buttons to touch based buttons on numerical keypads did not consider that some of the discoverability of the input keys vanished, especially for people with visual impairments. The mechanical buttons provided something that a screen cannot: tactile feedback. This project explores and finds a solution to the accessibility gap that touch screens impose. Firstly, research w
Studiens syfte är att undersöka hur andelen kvinnor i styrelser och styrelsestorlek påverkar riskprofilen för bolag listade på Stockholmsbörsen. Vidare syftar studien till att undersöka sambandet mellan företags risktagande och andelen kvinnor i styrelsen när representationen når den kritiska massan. Studien följer en kvantitativ metod och deduktiv ansats. Sekundärdata från 236 bolag noterade på The purpose of this paper is to investigate how the percentage of women on board and the board size affects the risk-taking for companies listed on Stockholm stock exchange. Moreover, the study aims to investigate if women on board influences a company’s risk-taking when they reach the critical mass. The study follows a quantitative method and deductive approach. Secondary data from 236 companies
This thesis focuses on how online activists react to online censorship imposed onto them by social media platforms and how the reactions shape the activists’ responses to the censorship. It does so by deploying a qualitative interview study design onto how Swedish individuals who advocate for Palestine online experience and respond to digital censorship on Meta’s social media platforms. In the st
Denna studie undersökte hur psykodynamiska psykoterapeuter med sexologisk kompetens arbetar med sexualitet i det terapeutiska rummet med särskilt fokus på de konstruktiva och utmanande aspekterna. Studien är teoretiskt förankrad i den sexologiska PLISSIT-modellen och psykodynamisk teori. I studien deltog sju informanter, som hade vidareutbildat sig eller utbildats i sexologi på sina arbetsplatser.This study investigated how psychodynamic psychotherapists with sexological competence work with sexuality in therapy with a particular focus on the constructive and challenging aspects. The study is theoretically anchored in the sexological PLISSIT-model and psychodynamic theory. Seven participants, who had received further education or training in sexology at their workplaces, participated in th
The risk for drinking water scarcity does not only concern developing countries and arid places. In its 2023 report, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has identified water scarcity as one of Europe’s key risks out of five in the foreseeable future. Sweden experiences water shortages more and more frequently during summer, and the need to protect groundwater resources is imperative. In
Over-frequency has become an increasingly relevant issue in the Nordic synchronous power system, mainly because of the increased number of HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) links connecting it to neighboring synchronous systems. The aim of this thesis is to research the impact that over-frequency events, caused by faults in HVDC links, have on the Nordic power system and especially what frequenci
Bakgrund: Kvarstående funktionedsättningar efter stroke begränsar individens förmåga att utföra aktiviteter i dagliga livet. Aktivitetsbaserade interventioner med fokus på meningsfulla aktiviteter har visat sig förbättra aktivitetsutförande, men används i begränsad omfattning av arbetsterapeuter. Syfte: Kartlägga aktivitetsbaserade interventioner som arbetsterapeuter använder för att främja aktiv
This thesis investigates market inefficiencies in Chapter 11 bankruptcy stocks, focusing on whether short-term momentum can yield positive returns. Chapter 11 equities, characterised by minimal fundamental value and retail-driven speculation, offer a unique setting to examine behavioural biases and trading dynamics. A dataset of 40 stocks from 2012-2024 was employed to implement a momentum strateg

This study examines the relationship between critical thinking and the use of Big Data Analytics (BDA) in decision-making among white-collar professionals. It focuses on three key areas: the influence of BDA reliance on critical thinking, the connection between professional experience and cognitive reasoning, and the demands of strategic decision-making compared to tactical and operational roles.

Denna studie undersöker hur finansieringsmetoden vid företagsförvärv påverkar långsiktig aktiekursutveckling bland svenska börsnoterade bolag. Studien är kvantitativ och bygger på data från 148 M&A-transaktioner under perioden 2010–2020, insamlade från Orbis, Nasdaq och årsredovisningar. Med OLS-regressionsanalys testas sambandet mellan finansieringsmetod och abnormal aktiekursutveckling. Res
