The greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella, is a serious pest of honey bees, Apis mellifera, damaging the quality of honey produced and creating a problem for bee industry. Mating behaviour in this species takes place with the help of a male-released pheromone tracked by females over long distances. Previously, the male pheromone was identified to be a blend of nonanal and undecanal but this aldehy

Regelverk på nationell och internationell nivå som syftar till att uppmuntra och underlätta internationella investeringar och handel möjliggör idag för multinationella företag att verka transnationellt genom användning av filialer och dotterbolag. När det kommer till företagsbeskattning har avsaknaden av ett globalt och universellt skattesystem för att reglera internationella skattefrågor dock möjDomestic and international regulations aiming to facilitate international trade and investment today enable multinational corporations (MNCs) to operate transnationally through the use of branches or subsidiary companies. Within the field of corporate taxation, the lack of a global and universal tax system regulating international tax matters however allows MNCs to exploit gaps and loopholes withi
In modern history, Sweden has experienced two major financial crises: the early 1990s and the global financial crisis in 2008. During the last decades, there has been an increased global focus on regulating and supervising banks, where Basel III is the leading framework. Today, one of the most debated issues within the global economy is Covid-19. It is uncertain how the pandemic will affect countr
Transgender persons experience a disproportionate representation in adverse mental health conditions globally. In Sweden there are tangible efforts to improving mental healthcare overall, but as a minority population, transgender persons still struggle with meeting their mental healthcare needs. While social factors such as stigma and discrimination act as catalysts for this burden, there is an ab
Urban green infrastructure (UGI) is gaining popularity for disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation in urban contexts, but dense development obstructs the realisation of large-scale greening measures. This thesis investigates the potential of small-scale, site-specific urban greening in a residential area in Cologne, Germany, to improve ecosystem service supply. The objective is to as
This thesis aims to investigate the newly emerging phenomenon in the environmental justice sphere – namely, the weaponisation of art by climate activists for the purpose of attracting attention to specific demands held. These attacks materialise in the form of organised acts wherein tactics entailing vandalism are enacted by a climate activist group. With the commencement of this climate movement
The biomedical market is experiencing rapid growth, driven by the increasing volume of health data and the need for advanced technologies to manage and analyze this information. At the same time, the industry is facing additional challenges such as the shortage of healthcare professionals and an aging population. Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to become essential in this industry,
Based on the geopolitical situation in Europe and the European Union's (EU) initiative for further cooperation with its eastern neighborhood, this thesis analyzes the strategic interests behind the bilateral development aid allocation of the EU member states. The purpose is to, with a focus on aid directed to the Eastern Partnership states, provide the academic foreign aid field with a regiona
Much work has established M&A capabilities and its impact on M&A performance, likewise, a great deal of research has investigated internationalization. However, little theoretical attention has been brought to the implications of M&A capabilities on firms formulating internationalization strategies. This study examines how M&A capabilities impact decision-making processes in strate
Issue of study: Knowledge management is recognised as an essential part of company strategy, with the potential to generate significant competitive advantage. The theoretical basis of knowledge management is well developed, however the practical implementation is not well adapted with regards to construction organisations. More research with a practical perspective regarding knowledge management
This research shows the impact of credit rating change (thereafter CRC) announcements on the combined entities following mergers and acquisitions. In looking at the effect of CRC announcements on share prices, we measure the level of influence that a credit upgrade or downgrade has on the equity value of firms. Existing literature disputes the applicability of share price as a measure of value cre
Context: We present an kinematical analysis of 90 F and G type dwarf, turn-off, and subgiant stars in the Galactic bulge. These stars were observed with high-resolution spectrographs during gravitational microlensing events This allowed for their ages, abundances, and radial velocities to be ascertained while they were significantly brighter. Plotting these stars as [C/O] vs [O/H], it is revealed
Shared e-scooters are sometimes presented as a sustainable mobility option, but their environmental impact depends on their utilization. When utilization is low, idle e-scooters increase operational costs and decrease overall energy efficiency. This thesis explores whether neighborhood-level built environment and socio-demographic characteristics influence the usage efficiency of shared e-scooters
The growing use of economic sanctions as a foreign policy tool has intensi-fied legal and political tensions in the international trade system. This trend has been particularly pronounced following the expansion of the United States’ (U.S.) secondary sanctions with extraterritorial reach, and in response to major geopolitical events, including the U.S. withdrawal from the Joint Comprehensive Plan
Today’s global competition forces manufacturing companies to re-evaluate their existing processes, technologies, manufactured parts and services in order to focus on strategic activities. The question whether to make or to buy goods or services represents a problem faced by many companies when deciding between keeping technologies/processes in-house or purchasing them from an outside supplier. In
In this thesis, I present a study of the conditions for a respondent state to introduce counterclaims in the same arbitration as an investor’s initial claim in a dispute arising from a Bilateral Investment Agreement (BIT). The study shows that although the most widely used procedural frameworks for arbitration explicitly allow for counterclaims, tribunals have adopted a restrictive approach to cou
Utveckling av en metod för att kartera högsta kustlinjen i Sverige med hjälp av brytlinjer extraherade från högupplösta höjdmodeller Högsta kustlinjens (HK) geografiska läge i landskapet markerar gränsen mellan subakvatiskt och supraakvatiskt avsatta sediment. Idag varierar HKs höjd över havet från några få m.ö.h. i Skåne till omkring 289 m.ö.h. i Ångermanland på grund av den glacialisostatiska lDevelopment of a method for mapping the highest coastline in Sweden using breaklines extracted from high resolution digital elevation models The geospatial position of the highest coastline (HCL) defines the boundary between subaquatic and supra-aquatic deposited sediments. Today the HCL is located at different elevations throughout Sweden, a few m.a.s.l. in southern Scania to around 289 m.a.s.l.
