This study investigates the relationship between cornerstone allocation and IPO underpricing in the Swedish market, as well as the moderating role of valuation uncertainty on this relationship. Employing OLS and 2SLS frameworks on a sample of 429 Swedish IPOs from 2010 to 2024, we find evidence of a causal non-linear relationship between cornerstone allocation and IPO underpricing, taking the form
Mer än hälften av svenska barn mellan nio och arton år uppger att de spelar dataspel dagligen. Med tanke på den ökade förekomsten av problematiskt datorspelande och digital överanvändning bland ungdomar, betonas familjebaserade behandlingsmetoder allt mer. Syftet med denna kvalitativa förstudie är att undersöka föräldrars upplevelser av konflikter i hemmet gällande barns skärmanvändning och deras More than half of Swedish children between the ages of nine and eighteen state that they play computer games daily. Given the increased prevalence of problematic computer gaming and digital overuse among young people, family-based treatment methods are increasingly emphasized. The purpose of this qualitative pre-study is to investigate parents' experiences of conflicts in the home regarding ch
In 2024, the Namibian government announced the culling of wildlife as a drought intervention measure. The consideration of food security in conservation decision-making manifests the tension in international law between a state’s conservation imperatives and human rights law obligations. Consequently, the thesis explores: What can the law do to balance food security imperatives against conservatio
An emerging research topic in quantum thermodynamics is the study of entangled quantum heat engines, where the working medium consists of an entangled quantum system. These engines offer exciting platforms for exploring fundamental aspects of quantum thermodynamics, its intersection with quantum information theory and the nature of entanglement in general. In this bachelor’s thesis, the performanc
I den här examensuppsatsen ska jag undersöka de tre europeiska tillsynsmyndigheterna och i synnerhet den europeiska bankmyndigheten som skapades som efterföljare till de rådgivande kommittéerna (också kända som nivå tre kommittéerna) som existerade innan den finansiella krisen 2008. Det europeiska systemet för finansiell tillsyn skapades 2011. Det är ett system som till skillnad från tidigare systIn this thesis I will examine the European Banking Authority and to some extent, the European Securities and Markets Authority, that were created as successors to the advisory committees (or level three committees) that existed before the financial crisis of 2008. Created in 2011, the European System of Financial Supervision was given a greater role and more powers in regulating and supervising th
The aim of this thesis is to examine how the public artworks Fossil Composition (1955), Stone Flower (1955) and Tousle (1952), through their bureaucratic municipal processes, reflect the broader ideological ideas of the welfare state, or Folkhemmet, between 1951 and 1956. It also aims to examine what notions of intended municipal identity can be identified through the discourses surrounding the ch
I uppsatsen användes motor- och perceptions deltesten som tillhör Bender Visual- Motor Gestalt Test andra versionen (BGT-II) med en tillagd tidsvariabel för att utforska kognitiva nedsättningar i kliniska grupper. Skillnader utforskades både mellan vuxna deltagare med Autismspektrumtillstånd (ASD), Attention Deficits Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), komorbid ASD och ADHD (AuDHD) och friska kontrolleIn the present thesis the motor and perceptual subtests of the Bender Visual-Motor Gestalt Test second edition (BGT-II) with added exploratory time variables were utilized to explore cognitive deficits in clinical samples. Differences were explored both between adult participants with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), comorbid ASD and ADHD (AuDHD) and
Microvias are key enablers of next-generation high-speed and high-density electronic products. However, their signal-integrity performance can be affected by manufacturing-induced non-idealities, including tapered sidewalls caused by laser drilling and positional staggering caused by fabrication tolerances. This thesis investigates the impact of microvia vertical geometry and manufacturing-induced
In this episode, Prof. Benoit Mayer discusses the role of environmental impact assessment (EIA) in climate change mitigation
Wearable devices increasingly issue algorithmic verdicts on the body's recovery and readi-ness claims that may contradict what an athlete directly feels. This study examines how ama-teur endurance athletes make sense of the embodied rupture: the moment at which a weara-ble's recovery assessment conflicts with their own somatic knowledge. While Information Systems research has theorised how
Research on the intergenerational processes of development has predominantly focused on the adverse consequences of parental childhood adversity, leaving the cross-generational effects of positive childhood experiences (PCEs) largely unexamined. Building upon Developmental Psychopathology, positive psychology, and the HOPE framework, the present study addresses this gap by conducting two meta-anal
In ultra high-energy collisions, nuclei with very low binding energies are not expected to survive the dense and hot final state environment. The traditional view has therefore been that nuclei form via coalescence after the hot environment has dissipated. However, statistical thermal models, where hadrons are produced from a fireball at thermal equilibrium, can describe the relative abundances of
This research explores the cultural representation, identity, and practices of young Vietnamese Americans through TikTok. The primary argument is that social media plays a critical role in facilitating cultural exchange and cultivating a sense of belonging for young immigrants living far away from their ancestral homelands. The study focuses on the main theoretical discussions on culture in mediat
This thesis explored the experiences and performances of female Malawian YouTubers. It is grounded in the understanding of the digital realm as a liberal space in which common people can showcase their own realities without the mediation of the structures of censorship common in traditional media. At the core of the research which informed this thesis were two questions: firstly, in what ways is e
Access to mobility and migration have become highly charged topics. Since the so-called refugee crisis in 2015 the EU has developed a holistic approach to control migration. The 2015 European Agenda on Migration is a policy which has significantly shaped mobility governance since being implemented. However, this response has been heavily criticised. The aim of this thesis is to understand how the
This thesis explores the impact of financialization on university students in Bologna, Italy, who are now facing a housing shortage. The popular university city is currently undergoing a severe housing crisis, presenting significant challenges for students seeking accessible and affordable accommodation. This study aims to understand how financialization exacerbates the housing crisis for Bologna&
This study is an investigative inquiry into the nature of foreign aid and its impact on Nigeria’s economic development. The role of foreign aid in the growth process of developing countries has been an issue of intense debate. Foreign aid is an important issue given its implications for poverty reduction in developing countries. As the government of Nigeria explores the avenues for foreign aid ass
The paper analyses data from the “Forbes World Billionaires List” from 1996 to 2015. Decomposing the sample finds, that inherited wealth exhibits higher levels of inequality than self-made wealth. Overall inequality decreases and the inequality level of the self-made subgroup converges to the one of inherited wealth. In addition, self-made billionaires also experience higher social mobility.
