This essay will summarize and study existing theories and the recent developments regarding long-term incentive (LTI) plans in Swedish companies listed on Nasdaq OMX Stockholm. The underlying theory is the principal-agent problem that arises in public companies, which highlights the behavioural aspects of decision-making for employees in a managerial position. This study aims to provide evidence t
The European Union is a large organ that is constantly under reformation. EU and the Common Agricultural Policy has during its lifetime gone through several major reforms in order to adjust regulations for certain markets. Our study will pay focus on the Sugar reform that was implemented in year 2006 and what effects it had on the European sugar market. The purpose of the reform was to give more p
In 2020, Covid-19 was declared a global pandemic, which’s effects caused a crisis for society, individuals as well as the multiprofessional teams in Swedish healthcare. The aim of this thesis was therefore to explore the experience of healthcare social workers, doctors, and nurses in multiprofessional teams during the covid-19-pandemic and how this crisis has affected their collaboration. The stud
Studier av palaeostormfloder ger bakgrund till inom vilka intevall stormar av olika storlek förväntas återkomma och träffa olika områden. Denna information kan användas vid modellering, riskbedömning och stadsplanering. Genom att använda de marina ekvationerna av Nittrouer och Sternberg (1981; The formation of sedimentary strata in an allochthonous shelf environment: the Washington continental sheStudies of palaeostorm surges provides background into at what frequencies storms of different magnitudes are expected to return and hit different areas. This information can be used when modelling, doing risk assesments and city planing.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to contribute to a better understanding of the occurrence of strategic error in using key performance indicators (KPIs) in innovation Design/methodology/approach: This case study was conducted at the innovation department of an organization in the process industry that operates production sites and sales organisations worldwide. Observations and interviews werTo date, measuring innovation has not been an exact science. As in many areas of organizational life, errors in measuring innovation are a recurring fact. Innovation researchers and practitioners alike have become increasingly interested in understanding the occurrence of organizational errors and how these errors affect innovation and its measurement. This empirical study aims to address this und
Contamination is the most common and arguably the most significant problem scientists are facing in experimental surface science research that is practiced in the presence of gases. It is fair to say that contamination problems are often worse with ambient pressures compared to conventional experiments in vacuum. It is one of the main reasons for poor reproducibility in this field and in relevant
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate how the current green bond standards influence the use of proceeds obtained from the issuance of green bonds. We also aim to explore the limitations of the standards and how the standards can be further improved to promote the development of the green bond market. Methodology: A qualitative research approach was used, consisting of a literature
Data-driven mechanics offers great potential in engineering applications, where the efficient simulation of complex and, in particular, path-dependent material behavior is often challenging. Within this approach, conventional material models are replaced by data sets containing snapshots of stress, strain and the history of both assumed to be sufficiently accurate representations of the underlying
ABSTRACTThis study aims to explore the scope of ‘knowledge-carrying’ objects in learning situations. The study is based on a qualitative content analysis of a design project conducted in a science centre for children aged 7-10 years, learning about polymers and circularity. The design project is based on research through design and has been an iterative process where design experiments and observaThis study aims to explore the scope of ‘knowledge-carrying’ objects in learning situations.

Our beliefs and opinions are shaped by others, making our social networks crucial in determining what we believe to be true. Sometimes this is for the good because our peers help us form a more accurate opinion. Sometimes it is for the worse because we are led astray. In this context, we address via agent-based computer simulations the extent to which patterns of connectivity within our social netOur beliefs and opinions are shaped by others, making our social networks crucial in determining what we believe to be true.

This article deals with narratives of rape in Swedish newspapers between 1990 and 2015. Though perpetuating myths and stereotypes about rape, rapists and rape victims, the main argument is that the narratives of rape in the news are diverse. This diversity is analysed in terms of different genres—narratives of “the lonely pervert”; “the sex slavery rape”; “the celebrity rape”; and “the suburb rape
This study re-examines standard econometric approaches for detecting adverse and advantageous selection in insurance contracts based on variables that are not used for calculating the insurance premium. We formally demonstrate that existing strategies for detecting selection based on such ‘unused characteristics’ can lead to incorrect conclusions if the estimated coefficients of interest are drive
PurposeThis paper investigates and evaluates the temperature performance of cold food supply chains (FSCs) in relation to product shelf life in order to provide suggestions for food waste mitigation and food safety management in FSCs. Design/methodology/approachField tests were conducted to collect temperature data from Swedish FSCs, from production to retail cold storage, and during retail displa
Factors influencing the effect of pilot-injection on main-injection combustion were investigated using heat release analysis in a heavy-duty diesel engine fuelled with standard diesel fuel, and included the effect of those factors on engine performance and emissions.Combinations of pilot injection parameters i.e. pilot start of injection, pilot mass, pilot-main injection separation, and rail press
Using qualitative content analysis on adverse drug reactions reports filed to an open Internet-based reporting system in Sweden, this study explored patients’ and consumers’ experiences of antidepressant treatment and the medical encounter. By scrutinizing free text comments in 181 individual consumer reports of adverse drug reactions, we could obtain important information about how people, as indUsing qualitative content analysis on adverse drug reactions reports filed to an open Internet-based reporting system in Sweden, this study explored patients’ and consumers’ experiences of antidepressant treatment and the medical encounter.

Ashbya gossypii is a homothallic, flavinogenic, filamentous ascomycete that starts overproduction of riboflavin and fragments its mycelium quantitatively into spore producing sporangia at the end of a growth phase. Mating is not required for sporulation and the standard homothallic laboratory strain is a MATa strain. Here we show that ectopic expression of Saccharomyces cerevisiae MATα2 in A. gossAshbya gossypii is a homothallic, flavinogenic, filamentous ascomycete that starts overproduction of riboflavin and fragments its mycelium quantitatively into spore producing sporangia at the end of a growth phase.

BACKGROUND: Most evidence for TSC-associated neuropsychiatric disorders (TAND) to date have come from small studies and case reports, and very little is known about TAND in adults. We explored baseline TAND data from the large-scale international TOSCA natural history study to compare childhood and adult patterns, describe age-based patterns, and explore genotype-TAND correlations.RESULTS: The stu
