Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the existence of information asymmetry displayed in the initial return, and post-IPO financing. Additionally, how sponsor certification influences IPOs and in the post-IPO financing as a means to reduce information asymmetry. Methodology: The study was conducted based on a quantitative research method, followed by a deductive approach, which in

Sverige är ett land rikt på vattenkraft, både från inlandssjöar men även från våra många vattendrag. Det har därför sedan länge varit en naturlig del av vår nationella kraftförsörjning, och innan elektriciteten var det ett av våra bästa verktyg när det kom till tunga arbetsuppgifter som att driva benstampar eller mala säd till mjöl. Våra vattendrag är därför fulla av gamla vattenkvarnar och dammar

Ekosystemtjänster är en vital del av människans välfärd och hälsa. Samspelet mellan naturen och människan är kritiskt för hela vår existens. En av de största ekosystemtjänsterna som naturen förser oss med är matproduktion, mycket av den kommer från jordbruket. Matproduktionen från jordbruket är beroende av ett flertal andra, stödjande, ekosystemtjänster. Till följd av en ökande efterfrågan på mEcosystem services are a crucial part of humankind’s well-being and health. They are especially important in agriculture; without them the production of food would come to a halt. The intensification of agriculture has led to a deterioration of the soil health, which in turn has had negative consequences on the ecosystem services that agricultural ecosystems deliver. The aim of this study was to r

Ridanläggningar är både arealkrävande och påverkande på sin omgivning ändock är det inte helt självklart huruvida dessa anläggningar kräver bygglov eller ej. Likväl är begreppen idrottsplats och idrottsanläggning inte heller helt självklara vad de innebär och speciellt inte i förhållande till en ridanläggning, det vill säga under vilken av definitionerna som en ridanläggning platsar. Syftet med deKnowing whether a riding facility requires a building permit or not is not always straightforward. Neither is it easy to understand how a riding facility compares to a sports field or sports facility. The aim of this thesis is therefore to define the differences between the definitions and understand how the duty of permit is affected by the definition of the riding facility. It is also investigat

This study examines the implementation of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology, specifically the monoethanolamine (MEA) chemical absorption method, in a biomass power plant. The aim is to assess the energy requirements and optimize the solvent processes to improve the overall efficiency of the carbon capture process. The use of bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (Bio-CCS) is pro

Nature-based solutions (NbS) are gaining popularity as tools to address societal challenges while providing social, economic, and environmental benefits. Given that NbS is a relatively new concept, there is a lack of guidance on how NbS in urban areas can be adapted to fit their socio-spatial context and provide benefits. This research uses an exploratory comparative case study between Rotterdam,

Effectively utilizing Big Data can be a challenge for many companies. Due to its volume, many aspects of the data processing pipeline such as storage, retrieval and usage may quickly become problematic. For example, it could be difficult identifying the relevant metrics when analyzing a service failure. Visualizing and deriving insights from the data could also prove to be quite onerous. Immersive

The research question posed is: how is a churchly identity being described in contexts characterized by multiculturalism and multi-religiosity? This has been examined by semi-structured interviews with seven ordained ministers and one ordained deacon in four different churches w

This thesis intends to investigate what are the driving forces behind the shopper's decision-making process in high-end designed tableware products and what is the role of the in-store marketing in the process. The authors of the research have found that there is a lack of knowledge about the consumer’s buying behavior in that segment and therefore it was decided the empirical part of the rese
