This paper proposes a new method for quantifying financial integration by adapting Adrian & Brunnermeier (2016)’s ΔCoVaR to conform with standard asset pricing literature (Lewellen & Nagel 2006, Cochrane 2009). We reconcile ΔCoVaR with standard microeconomic theory (Waller & Lewarne 1994) and test for causal relationships with respect to the contagion of US acute financial shocks to th

This thesis is a case study exploring opportunity spaces in path development for offshore wind power in Skåne, Sweden, from 2000 to March, 2023. By exploring interactions between policies and actors in the region, it contributes to path development literature with a more complex interpretation of agency in opportunity spaces for development. The thesis outlines how actors strategically adapt their

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 publishing landscape has undergone significant transformation in the last years facing and implementing open science policies, including principles for open access (OA). However, certain challenges have been identified in OA-publishing for different scientific fields, such as the humanities, depending on the norms and traditions for how to conduct research and how to publish. The topic of this

Bakgrund och problemområde: Antal patienter som söker till Sveriges akutmottagningar ökar stadigt varje år bortsett från minskningen under pandemin. Siffror visar att väntetiden till läkare ökar vilket försvårar Socialstyrelsens fyra timmars mål och ambitionen med en högre vårdkvalité. En stor del av patienterna som söker sig till akutmottagningen behöver inte träffa en läkare och studier från and

As the climate crisis becomes more severe, carbon capture and storage (CCS) is increasingly seen as a viable option to help mitigate climate change. However, one risk with regard to CCS is that it locks us into the use of carbon-based energy sources and industry, creating a carbon lock-in. Looking at the German-Norwegian partnership to store German CO2 in Norway and to provide hydrogen in return,

L'exposition des sociétés au changement climatique exige des villes qu'elles répondent de manière adéquate aux pressions environnementales croissantes tout en garantissant le bien-être des citoyens. La planification urbaine durable est un outil important à cet égard. Malmö est un pionnier du développement urbain durable salué au niveau international, mais critiqué pour ses déficits en mati

After many years since the ratification of the Convention of the Right of the Child, it was eventually incorporated into Swedish law in 2020. One of the fundamental articles of the convention is children’s right to participate in matters concerning them. Despite the incorporation, however, participatory methods for children are still lacking in Swedish urban planning processes. Oftentimes, childre

This thesis presents a systematic literature review of fixed fire suppression systems and extinguishing agents for lithium-ion battery (LIB) fires. The review identifies 85 relevant sources published between 2013 and March 2023, and categorises different research experiments into cell-level, module-level, electric vehicle (EV) pack-level, battery energy storage system (BESS) rack-level and warehou

Unsafe abortion is a major contributing factor to maternal mortality with 47,000 largely avoidable deaths occurring globally every year, the majority in the global south. Ethiopia has taken a unique approach to addressing maternal mortality impacted by unsafe abortion through a 2005 reform of the abortion legislation in which abortion is illegal but available under a range of exceptions. The purpo

Affordability is often cited as a beneficial aspect of co-housing; however, the specific factors that contribute to its affordability and the theoretical understanding of this phenomenon have received limited attention in research. Against the backdrop of the ongoing affordable housing crisis, this study seeks to investigate the circumstances under which co-housing holds the potential for affordab

This thesis aims to investigate possible correlations between charm production and baryon production in proton-proton collisions through three-particle correlations. The question attempted to be answered is where, for a given charmed baryon, the balancing anti-charm particle and balancing anti-baryon are located. The relative azimuthal angle ∆φ and pseudorapidity ∆η between the trigger charmed bar

Tidigare forskning har uppmärksammat att lyssna är en viktig del i organisationers strategiska kommunikation, likaså möjligheterna med att lyssna på sociala medier. Men frågan som kvarstår är: hur praktiserar organisationer ett strategiskt lyssnande på sociala medier? Det finns en identifierad avsaknad av forskning som belyser hur ett strategiskt lyssnande kan tillämpas på sociala medier i praktikThe importance of listening as a part of organizations' strategic communication has been stated in previous research, as well as the possibilities of listening on social media. But the question that remains is: how can strategic listening be put into practice on social media? There is an identified lack of research that highlights how strategic listening can be applied to social media in the p

Gold is known in the financial world to be an important asset in unstable periods, especially as a hedge against inflation. If the gold price can be forecasted, it will be possible to strategically invest in gold rather than acquire it as a last-minute hedge against economic downturns. Although there are many studies on forecasting, few focus directly on gold returns. This study investigates the

The most used menstrual products in Sweden are disposable pads and tampons, contributing to plastic pollution and harmful resource use; an environmental impact that could be reduced by using reusable products, such as menstrual cups and reusable pads. This cross-sectional study of high school students in Malmö and Lund researches their menstrual product preferences and the factors that influence t

Under de senaste åren har det skett en ökning av antalet unga kvinnor som använder sig av vitt nikotinsnus i Sverige. Det har gjorts uttalanden kring att detta är ett problem för folkhälsan då unga riskerar att bli beroende av en skadlig produkt. En del av problemet samt de diskussioner som uppdagats kring ämnet har varit bristen på marknadsförings- och försäljningsregler, vilket har gett företag Over recent years, there has been an increase in young women’s use of white nicotine pouches in Sweden. Statements have been made about this being a problem for public health since young people risk addiction to a harmful product. Part of the problem and discussion has been the lack of marketing and sales regulations, which has given companies the full ability to target specific groups. Considerin

Scientific studies indicate that the effects of the ongoing climate crisis negatively affect and sometimes also threaten the built environment, humanity and nature in many ways. Cloudbursts and rising sea levels are two examples of such effects, which result in complex dilemmas and interesting challenges that planners and urban designers face within their field of work. These two effects are notic

Sverige har satt som klimatmål att 2030 ha minska utsläppen från inrikes transporter med 70 procent. För att uppnå detta mål så kommer det enligt vattenfall att krävas en miljon laddbara bilar. En sådan ökning av laddbara bilar kan leda till en betydande påfrestning på våra svenska el- och vägnät Syftet med detta examensarbete var att undersöka om dagens svenska el- och väg-nätet kommer att klaraThe Swedish government have as goal to make the decrease the emissions from domestic transport with 70% by 2030. To reach this goal the Swedish electric company Vattenfall has estimated that we need one million electric cars. The aim of the work presented in this report is to investigate if the present Swedish road network and power grid can handle one million electric cars and if what is needed
