Purpose: To investigate whether the U.S.-centred M&A literature translates to the heterogeneous European markets by analysing the impact of economic distress, uncertainty, and relatedness on stock performance. Methodology: This thesis utilises an event study to provide a perspective on immediate M&A announcement impacts. Subsequently, we examine the acquirer’s post-announcement performanc
Bakgrund: Postoperativa kognitiva komplikationer, såsom postoperativt delirium (POD) och postoperativ kognitiv dysfunktion (POCD), är vanliga hos äldre patienter efter kirurgi. Anestesidjup har identifierats som en möjlig påverkande faktor, där övervakning med bispektralt index (BIS) kan bidra till en mer individanpassad anestesistyrning och därmed minska risken för negativa kognitiva utfall. Tidi
3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has emerged as the latest breakthrough in 3D reconstruction since it can provide photorealistic 3D reconstruction with real-time rendering. Despite its increasing popularity, it lacks an accessible and clear end-to-end workflow, and the use for it in interactive and immersive applications remains largely unexplored. Furthermore, with the constant development of new 3DG
This thesis aims to address the complex legal challenges related to the responsibility of multinational corporations for human rights violations and environmental harm in global supply chains. Starting from the context of increasing pressure on transnational businesses and the shortcomings of soft law instruments such as the UN Guiding Principles and the OECD Guidelines, the study examines the pot
Rehabilitation exercises are essential for recovery from many injuries, and their practice is guided by physical therapists in order to avoid the risk of further damage. The physical therapists have limited tools for conducting a quantified assessment of movement quality and this study investigates whether machine learning could be used to improve that process. A way to assess movement is to analy
The Azerbaijani city of Shusha stands out as an exemplary place for reconstruction based on the principles of sustainable development in the post-conflict era. This research examines the city of Shusha’s aim of building a sustainable city model from scratch and focuses on two major directions: the transition to solar-based systems in the city’s energy supply and the establishment of a clean transp
Detta examensarbete syftar till att identifiera företag som äger sina verksamhetsfastigheter samt analysera deras förutsättningar att genomföra energieffektiviserande åtgärder. Studien baseras på kommunal registerdata, geografisk analys via Geoportalen samt kvalitativ verifiering genom platsbesök och semistrukturerade företagsintervjuer. Resultaten indikerar att ägarstruktur har stor betydelseEnergy efficiency initiatives targeting businesses often face challenges related to identifying actors with the authority to implement measures. This study examines how property ownership influences companies’ ability to undertake energy efficiency actions. The study was conducted as a case study in Lund municipality and applied a two-step methodology consisting of registry-based mapping and qual
Introduction: Mono(ADP-ribosyl)ation (MARylation) is a post tranlational modification with important roles in stress responses and cellular signaling. Mass spectrometry is an efficient tool for identifying modified amino acid residues, optimisation of parameters is desired to develop an efficient method for detection of MARylation on proteins using the recombinant protein NUDT16. Background: MAR
The number and complexity of modern software systems have increased substantially since their inception. This unrelenting growth is making manual code review more difficult year by year, and the gap between the amount of code and security verification creates a critical need for automated tools that can assist developers in detecting vulnerabilities. A possible solution to this is large language m
The task of matching fixed-order event generation with the parton shower is physically non-trivial and closely related to an efficiency bottleneck of event generators. In this thesis, we examine and implement two novel matching schemes in KrkNLO and MAcNLOPS for the LHC process p p > Z Z. As both schemes generate positive-definite event samples, they can be interesting alternatives to MC@NLO. The
Dry powder inhalers (DPIs) are widely used to treat respiratory diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The performance of DPI formulations is influenced by the properties of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), but systematic comparative studies of different APIs under the same processing conditions remain limited. This study investigated the effects of di
Micro- and nanoscale pollutants dispersed at low concentrations in the environment pose increasing threats to human health and ecosystems. However, investigating the properties of individual particles remains challenging because conventional characterization methods mainly rely on ensemble measurements. Optical tweezers provide a promising approach for single-particle trapping and open new possibi
In recent years, as 6G wireless systems continue to develop, high-accuracy indoor localization has become increasingly important for future wireless systems. At the same time, reliable indoor positioning is needed by many location-aware applications, such as robotic navigation, emergency healthcare, and smart transportation. Since indoor wireless measurements can vary over time due to multipath pr

En studie av skillnaderna mellan kommunikation och uppfattning Handledare: Jan E Persson Syfte: Syftet är att identifiera skillnaderna mellan konsument
Studien är en miljösystemanalys av en förpackningsmaskin på Tetra Pak för flytande och kylda livsmedel. Miljöanalysen följer till stora delar de principer som ges av ISO 14040-43 om livscykelanalyser. Syftet med arbetet är att kartlägga material och energiflöden samt deras upphov till emissioner för att sedan kunna identifiera miljömässiga förbättringsmöjligheter. Speciellt fokus läggs på förpackn
Detta arbete visar på en metod att bedöma emissioner från varor. Varje dag kommer vi i kontakt med tusentals kemiska ämnen via kläder, skor, möbler och andra varor. Många av kemikalierna släpper från materialet och vi har ingen kontroll på vart de tar vägen eller hur de påverkar oss och miljön. Bildäck är en vara som innehåller många potentiella riskämnen och den stora mängden av däck som finns i
Syftet med detta examensarbete var att konstruera och testa ett program för beräkning av kostnader och miljöpåverkan för transporter i gårdsbaserade biogassystem. Det gäller transport av både substrat, rötrest och biogas.Beräkningsprogrammet testades sedan på ett verkligt fall - Skea gård i Hässleholms kommun där en biogasanläggning är i planeringssstadiet. Två alternativa utformningar med olika k
Evenemang såsom idrottstävlingar, konserter, festivaler och mässor medför ofta en betydande belastning på såväl den lokala som den regionala och globala miljön.Denna belastning kan sannolikt aldrig helt undvikas, men genom att bedriva väl fungerande miljöledning och effektivt miljöarbete kan dock omfattningen på denna negativa påverkan minimeras.Syftet med detta examensarbete är att belysa möjligh
One of the topics that has generated discussions and focuses on demographic theory is undoubtedly the treatment of fertility rates, another important number of studies have incorporated different methods for measuring behaviors in count data, such as Poisson models, also used in the present document. On the other hand, by using panel data, we estimate a random effects model and evaluate the dete
This report focuses the use of egress models to study the airport evacuation with special focus on security doors in case of total evacuation in airport terminal buildings. Case studies are made in arrival hall and departure hall of the airport terminal based on the scenarios identified in a preliminary risk analysis carried out in the terminal. Evacuation strategies are employed in the two differ
