We investigate the strength of the Ultrafilter Lemma in comparison to the Axiom of Choice. In particular, we prove that a number of classical mathematical theorems are equivalent to the Ultrafilter Lemma over $\sf ZF$, and we study a few results which are typically only obtained in $\sf ZFC$ (as opposed to $\sf ZF$) but which can also be proven from the conjunction of $\sf ZF$ with the Ultrafilter

The dynamics of credit spreads are an essential factor to consider for a broad spectrum of stakeholders foremost when valuing corporate bonds and similar instruments. Through a cointegration approach, this paper first examines the relationship between credit spreads of US corporate bonds and US treasury yields using daily data on yield indices of five different credit ratings and three different m
This thesis explores the intersection of intellectual property rights (IPRs) and sustainability, particularly focusing on the repair, reuse, refurbishment, recycling, and upcycling of IP-protected goods. The lack of a defined legal framework specifically addressing the balance between IPRs and sustainable practices in the European Union forms the core of this investigation. The study proposes a fr
Enhancing the physicochemical and sensory properties of flavoured vodkas using hydrocolloids is of significant interest to the beverage industry. Hydrocolloids like xanthan gum and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) can influence texture and stability, yet their specific impacts in alcoholic systems are underexplored. This study aims to evaluate the effect of hydrocolloids on the viscosity, turbidity,

The relationship between Knowledge Management (KM) and Business Intelligence (BI) is di-vided into two steps. First, differences and similarities between the concepts, and second, what interaction the concepts have within organisations. Eight qualitative interviews with ex-perts in the field of BI have been done. The most significant difference is in the knowledge sources, where KM handle explicit
The topic of this study is to develop and validate an analysis method of nicotine nasal spray produced at McNeil AB. When developing the analysis method, several parameters were determined in advance to make the method more similar to other analysis methods at the company, making it more practical. However, other parameters were adjusted with the aim to improve the resolution and to fulfil the upd
Due to an increasing ease of access to social media outlets, more tourists than ever are able to share their comments, images and videos of travel experiences. As such this user generated content is said to have more of an impact than professionally produced content on the decisions of prospective travellers. On this basis the major objective of this study is to identify the overall perspectives h
The relationship between innovation, markup and exporting is complex and any empirical analysis is likely to contain both self-selection and simultaneity biases. I use recently developed GMM estimation techniques to recover time-varying markups at the firm level. I then cast these into a simultaneous-equation framework to estimate the influence of R\&D investments on markups and export behavio

A common issue of applications of international protection is the lack of physical evidence to substantiate the applicant’s claim. This issue is even more prevalent in cases concerning LGBTQ+ refugees since the requirement to prove ones membership to a particular social group is generally a request to substantiate the unverifiable.
