To defend a market, the acting firms need defence strategies. The eight Arctic States have all published their own national strategic document for the Arctic region. In the Strategies they describe how they will act in this Arctic market. The Arctic is an area undergoing a change. With the last decades of melting ices as a result of the increased global warming, the Arctic is a more available regi

Commonly, air pollution is treated by the European Union (EU) and its member states as a structural problem with technical, one-size-fit-all solutions. The EU has the ambition to follow the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals , Agenda 2030 , in which, for example, gender equality is highlighted. Yet, the legislation on toxic air does not explicitly mention how they aim to achieve social

Följande uppsats undersöker ifall principen om respekt för förvärvade rättigheter kan användas för att skydda etableringsfriheten för juridiska personer efter en avtalslöst Brexit. Sedan Storbritanniens folkomröstning har akademiker spekulerat över principens tillämpning för att skydda de rättigheter som härstammar från EU-rätten.

I följande uppsats undersöks hur publiken konstrueras och positioneras vid grön marknadsföring och hur detta påverkar ett varumärkes trovärdighet. De två objekt som studeras är Oatlys annons Mjölklobbyn vs Oatly – the final countdown samt Coops reklamfilm Kära köttbit. Analysen genomförs med hjälp av en hermeneutisk metod och består av tre delar. Först görs en deskriptiv semiotisk analys av materi

This thesis asks how developments in The Swedish Social Democratic Party’s welfare ideology over the past 70 years can be understood, using the conceptual lenses of Keynesian, Neoliberal and Social Investment welfare ideals. To answer this question, the thesis models a tailor-made seminal analytical tool; a code scheme of numerous operational indicators for Keynesian, Neoliberal and Social Investm

Competition policy is important for the promotion of fair competition, preventing abuse of market power and protecting consumer and business interests. It is thus an area that builds and moulds itself according to the fabric or structure of society and eventually evolves by habitually adjusting to the dynamics of government economies. Despite the different economic dynamics between the European Un

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to test how Nordic acquirers perform post M&A deals and to what extent the Method of Payment affects this performance. An additional analysis is also conducted where the above is tested, conditional on the financial constraints of the acquirer. Methodology: To obtain the long-term performance (BHAR) of Nordic acquirers, an event study has been conducted.

Climate change is the biggest challenge of our time. The climate is changing dramatically because of human activity and the construction and property sector plays a key role in reducing climate emissions and building a sustainable future. Although the development of climate-smart solutions in the construction and real estate sector has come a long way, the spread of green buildings has encountered

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the level of conict in the media between the government and the opposition at dierent time periods, and specically regarding EU policies. Opposition towards policy is a crucial ingredient in democratic systems of government that do not only allow the people to send dierent personalities to represent them in government, but rather dierent policy agendas that

The trend towards greater globalisation brings the matter of cultural identity to the foreground. Transnational corporations or business networks are culturally diverse places where cultural othering – simply put, the assumption that someone is fundamentally different from you based on the cultural identity projected on- or associated with them – can significantly impact operations across the hier

Today the climate in the arctic regions are changing at a rapid rate, faster than any speed previously recorded in human history but how is it impacting the geopolitical situation in these regions? New territory is being created by the ice melting and new natural resources are being found, how can this impact the current situation? This study looks at and discusses the current geopolitical situati

For centuries, people have appreciated the taste of wild mushrooms which can be found in nature throughout the European continent and the Fennoscandian peninsula. This is especially so for those of the order of Cantharellales, where you find the Golden Chanterelle among others. Today the commercial aspect of mushroom harvesting has resulted in regulations and guidelines set out by the Nordic Counc

This study explores the acceptance of wearable technology among the elderly, utilizing the Smart Wearable Acceptance Model (SWAM) developed by Li et al. (2019) as the theoretical framework. Through qualitative research methods, key factors influencing acceptance were identified, including perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, facilitating conditions, social influence, and self-reported heal

Populism is a disputed concept and has become a popular term for describing political leaders and movements. The United States is not an exception from having its presidents and politics labeled as populist. Thus it raises the question whether American politics has become more populistic over time during the 21st century. This paper's purpose is to investigate the development of populism in co

Grundämnena, som bygger upp komplexa molekyler som vårt DNA, är samma material som stjärnor består av. Faktum är att vi människor består till 93 % av så kallat sjärnstoft, eller sjärndamm. De simplaste ämnena, väte och helium, skapades i Big Bang, för ungefär 13,7 miljarder år sedan. De resterande 90 ämnena i periodiska systemet bildas i olika typer av stjärnor och i detta arbete har jag tagit fraPurpose: The purpose of this work is to determine the abundances of neutron-capture elements in solar neighborhood giant stars. This enables constraints to be put on the the cosmic origin of these elements. I have determined abundances of elements produced in both the weak s-process (Cu), the first and second s-process peaks (Y, Zr and La, Ce, Pr, Nd, respectively) and the r-process (Eu, Gd). The

Since the year of 2015 the Swedish Christian Democratic Party advocates a future Swedish NATO membership. Earlier, the party has not supported the idea of joining the multinational political and military organization, but have due to altered defence and security policy circumstances changed party opinion. The aim of this bachelor thesis is thus to investigate and analytically discuss the Swedish C

Hjärtat - En muskelpump ur ett matematiskt perspektiv Hjärtat pumpar blod ut i kroppen mellan 40 och 100 gånger per minut. Drygt en tredjedel av alla dödsfall orsakas av hjärt- och kärlsjukdomar och ett sjukt hjärta kan därmed leda till fatala konsekvenser. Hjärt- och kärlsjukdomar är följaktligen den vanligaste dödsorsaken globalt och i Sverige. Kroppens cirkulationssystem, som består av hjärtCardiovascular diseases, affecting the heart and blood vessels, are the most common cause of death globally. However, the risk of suffering from a cardiovascular disease could decrease significantly as research improve treatment and identification of symptoms. One way to increase our knowledge and improve education of the cardiovascular system is to develop mathematical simulation models. This the
