Using Tobin’s Q as an approximation of firm value, this paper aims to examine the effect of foreign exchange rate derivatives on firm value. Risk management is viewed by many as one of the most vital aspects of corporate- and business strategy. On the topic of risk, foreign exchange rate exposure is a distinctive form of risk confronted by numerous internationally operating firms. The mitigation o
The long-lasting usage of fossil fuels has brought its negative impact on the planet and thus the society is turning towards more environmentally sustainable solutions in every aspect of life. This master’s thesis discusses the novel topic of integrating concentrated solar thermal collectors, which directly produce steam, to drying processes in the food industry, which is proven to currently emit
Under de senaste åren har transrättighetsrörelsen fått ökad spridning och uppmärksamhet både inom den queera rörelsen och i västvärlden och i media överlag. Debatter om att implementera ett tredje juridiskt kön för de personer som inte vill vara registrerade som man eller kvinna, och för personer födda med tvetydiga primära eller sekundära könsorgan, har ökat och nya policys implementeras i oIn recent years, the trans rights movement has gained a lot of traction and publicity both inside the queer movement and in western society and media at large. Debates on implementing a third legal gender for people who wish to not be registered as male or female, and for people born with ambiguous sex characteristics, have increased and new policies are being implemented in different countrie
Tramways are a sustainable and accessible mode for public transport. They promote urban development and contribute to a more attractive city. Light rail, but also public transport as a whole, is an important part of society as it is accessible to everyone and reduces the amount of cars needed. The two tramlines in Norrköping account for two thirds of public transport travel in the city. The purpos
För att generalklausulen i den svenska lagstiftningen mot skatteflykt ska kunna tillämpas krävs det att skatteförmånen som uppstår strider mot lagstiftningens syfte. Vad detta innebär är inte fullständigt klarlagt av vare sig lagstiftaren eller av Högsta förvaltningsdomstolen. Lagens syftar till att domstolen ska göra en analog tolkning och dess rättssäkerhet har därför varit omdiskuterad. Syftet
Due to COVID-19 and the penetration of OTT services, the cinema industry is suffering from audience loss. With this contextual change, the question of whether the cinema industry will survive is constantly rising. As motivation is known as the driving force for behaviour, this thesis focuses on the audiences who still visit the cinema and explore their motivations for cinema attendance to find wha
Even though animal farming is one of the leading causes of climate change and more people in the west are raising concerns over animal welfare, meat consumption here is high and expected to rise. This thesis examines the reasoning and tensions that arise when omnivores’ dietary choices clash with their love for animals by studying how the concept of the meat paradox and cognitive dissonance theory
Ett avgörande av Högsta domstolen kan endast angripas genom extraordinära rättsmedel. När Högsta domstolen får in en ansökan om resning eller klagan över domvilla i ett mål avgjort av Högsta domstolen är det som utgångspunkt andra justitieråd i domstolen än de som avgjorde det aktuella målet som prövar huruvida grund finns för att bevilja en sådan ansökan eller klagan. Dessa justitieråd kan då ha A decision by the Supreme Court can only be challenged through extraordinary remedies. When the Supreme Court receives an application for relief due to a substantive defect or a complaint on the grounds of grave procedural errors the general rule is that other justices of the Supreme Court than those who decided the case in question review whether there are grounds for granting such an application
Sverige har som en del i EU:s fria rörlighet stiftat utlänningslagen kapitel 3a som reglerar rätten för EES-medborgare att uppehålla sig, och arbeta i Sve-rige utan uppehålls- eller arbetstillstånd. Frågan som behandlas i denna upp-sats är om en person med dubbla medborgarskap kan klassas som förmånstagare enligt rörlighetsdirektivet och hur rättstillämpningen ser ut för dem, till skillnad från de
The aim of this thesis is to investigate if a deeper relation between form and movement can be achieved and strengthened with the help of digital tools. The work consists of three phases, starting with a foundation of interdisciplinary research regarding different theories about form and movement. These are then used as a broad toolset for experimenting with a physical proposal. In the second phas
Detta arbete är ett sökande efter träets plats i staden och tar avstamp i en kritik mot hur trä allt oftare blir en del av stadsbilden utan att varken som eget objekt utrycka en rik gestaltning eller harmonisera med den kontext av sten, puts och tegelhus som omger dem. Likt hur tegel efter modernismens avtagande intresse för materialet, genomgick en pånyttfödelse vilket resulterade i nya uttrycksfThis work is a search for wood's place in the city and is based on a critical evaluation of how wood increasingly becomes part of the cityscape without expressing rich design in its own right or harmonizing with the context of stone, plaster and brick houses that make up our urban streets. In the same way that brick, after modernism's waning interest in the material, underwent a rebirth wh
Personal archives have long been side-lined in the field of archival studies. What studies exist often struggle to define what a personal archive is. The aim of this master’s thesis is to further the understanding of personal archives, by investigating what the term personal means in the archival context. By applying Weber’s ideal type method, and constructing an ideal type based on the special ch
Off-grid living offers an alternative path to sustainability, but its complex dynamics require deeper exploration. Utilizing the Three Spheres of Transformation theoretical framework, the study uses interviews to explore the motivations for, barriers to and necessary changes for off-grid living from the perspective of individuals. Findings from interviews with people living and aspiring to live of
This thesis examines how meaning is constructed in the text and imagery of children's picture books concerning Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), with a specific focus on Johan Asplund’s (1987) theoretical framework of social responsiveness and G.H Mead’s (1995) concept of role-taking. Inspired by narrative methodology, this study analyzes six selected picture books written by Sw

Through qualitative methodology, the research investigated factors such as sexual desire and satisfaction, self-esteem, body image, sexual identity, relational influences, consent, and negative experiences. The study involved
The purpose of the expansionary monetary policy pursued by the Riksbank in 2015–22 was to stimulate the economy and increase the excessively low inflation, in a situation where interest rates were lowered to zero. A common criticism that the Riksbank has received is that the negative policy rate in combination with quantitative easing was a mistake. I analyzed the consequences of expansionary mone
