In this paper, we investigate conventional mutual funds’ and socially responsible investment (SRI) funds’ compositions of high and low valuation multiple stocks as well as potential differences in portfolio management between the two types of funds. Previous research has to a large extent focused on risk-adjusted stock returns and has not been able to be conclusive on whether SRI funds under- or o

With climate change gathering pace and increasingly foreboding predictions of the effects it will bring, the question of how to achieve a fast-paced transition towards a sustainable society is gaining increased awareness and importance. One debate centers on agency, and whether primarily public authorities can govern such a transition successfully. Theory on transitions suggests that they are ofte

This essay investigates how we can re-think central perspectives in Alf Hornborg´s writing. Hornborg (2011) argues that we culturally have “an unembodied image of technology”, which leaves our machines “exempt from moral critique”. Still, there are no ideas on embodiment to be found in Hornborg´s own writing on technology. This leaves the reader with the necessity to situate the very thoughts of H

Studiens syfte var att jämföra om upplevd organisatorisk kreativitet, kreativt organisationsklimat samt arbetsengagemang skiljde sig åt beroende på om man var bemanningsanställd och inhyrd av ett kundföretag eller om man var direktanställd av ett företag. Vidare var syftet med uppsatsen att undersöka om det fanns något samband mellan de tre variablerna. En webbenkät skickades ut till tio företag iThe study´s purpose was to investigate if perceived organizational creativity, creative organizational climate and work engagement differed depending on whether one was employed by a temporary work agency and hired by a client company or if one was employed directly by a company. Furthermore, the aim with this study was to investigate the relationship between the three variables. A web survey was

Intensivt trafikerade vägar genererar dagligen ett brett spektrum av föroreningar, av vilka många är listade som prioriterade ämnen genom EU:s ramdirektiv för vatten. Vattendrag som korsas av vägarna exponeras av dessa föroreningar genom vatten- och luftburna processer, något som riskerar utarma vattenkvaliteten i recipienterna. Fyra vägbroar i Segeåns avrinningsområde (sydvästra Skåne, Sverige) Heavily trafficked roads continously generate a wide spectrum of pollutants, of which many are listed as priority substances according to the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD). Watercourses that intersect with major roads are exposed to both airborne and waterborne traffic generated pollutants, possibly deteriorating the receiving waters. Four bridges within the Segeån catchment area (in the sou

Vid företagsförvärv kan det finnas en önskan hos köparen att låta målbolaget medverka till finansieringen av aktieförvärvet. Möjligheterna till sådan medverkan begränsas emellertid genom det s.k. förvärvslåneförbudet i 21 kap. 5 § aktiebolagslagen (2005:551) enligt vilket aktiebolag inte får ge förskott, lämna lån eller ställa säkerhet (”lån m.m.) i syfte att gäldenären ska förvärva aktier i bolagWhen acquiring shares in a company the buyer may want the target company to contribute to the financing of the acquisition. The means of such contribution is however limited through a prohibition in Chapter 21 Section 5 of the Companies Act (2005:551) according to which a company may not grant advance, provide loans or provide security for loans (“loans etc.”) in order that the debtor or any natur

‘Green growth’ is a concept that has gained credence in the literature and wider policy-making circles, broadly referring to the implementation of policy and development strategies that encourage economic growth whilst ensuring that environmental wellbeing is maintained and / or improved. However, few examples of ‘green growth strategies’ have been produced to date, and the literature is sparse re
