The process of firms entering and exiting the market has since Schumpeter’s introduction of the concept of creative destruction been a subject of interest for economists aiming to determine what drives economic growth. However, limited availability of data has long been a hindrance to such ambitions and it is not until recent decades that empirical studies on the role of firm dynamics for economic
Syftet med följande studie är att med hjälp av en kritisk diskursanalys undersöka vilka diskurser som texter om manlig psykisk ohälsa i svensk dagspress bygger på och hur dessa tar sig uttryck. Det sekundära syftet är att diskutera vad detta kan ha för konsekvenser för större sociala processer och förändringar som har med problem relaterade till manlig psykisk ohälsa att göra.

The impact of innovation and human capital on economic performance has drawn more and more attention. This is greatly due to the strong trend of globalization and technology development, which characterize the economy as technology or innovation oriented developing pattern. Human capital and innovation are considered as the endogenous factors for supporting the long run economic growth in the new
The increasing multinational societies brought the issue of political recognition and accomodation of ethnic minority groups, and adoption of multicultural policies are found to be facilitator in this process. Both as a political idea and set of public policies, multiculturalism is highly contested on whether it is responsible for failed integration and segregated ethnic communities. Nonetheless,
The starting point for this essay is the employee's use of social media and the new types of conflicts that may arise from that use, in relation to the employer or between employees. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the law in relation to the employee's freedom of expression in social media. It also aims to investigate what possibilities the employer has to prevent and control v
In the era of privatization and securitization, private security companies are becoming a more important actor for ensuring safety in a society felt increasingly unsafe. Ensuring safety has been seen as a fundamental task of the state, which is now transferring to the private sector. This study examines one of Sweden's private security companies. Do they consider themselves as having a social
One of the most invasive choices a democratic society can make is to amend its constitution. Despite the fact that Sweden and Denmark are frequently described as having very similar democracies, the two nations have made different decisions about how these changes should be carried out. The purpose of this essay is to compare and contrast Sweden's and Denmark's constitutional amendment pro
Det här examensarbetet bygger på intervjuer med gymnasieelever från södra Sverige och ger ett elevperspektiv på diskussioner om och tolkningar av begreppen konstnärligt uttryck, personligt uttryck och musikaliskt uttryck, som alla förekommer i de svenska läroplanerna, Gy11 och Gy25. Informanternas svar jämförs med resultat från intervjustudier med musiklärare och med hur begreppen används i läropl
The military and defense industry is a historically stigmatized industry, but many argue that public opinion has changed since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Organizational stigma, the widespread negative perception of firms due to their activities or the industries they operate in, affects a firm's relationships with external partners. While previous research has discussed its influence on bra
HCCI is an advanced combustion concept, using premixed fuel and air with a diluted charge. This is thermodynamically favorable, leading to high efficiency and therefore lower CO2 emissions. The well-premixed and diluted fuel charge gives lower cylinder temperatures than conventional diesel compression ignition and spark ignited gasoline combustion, resulting in low engine out emissions of both nit
The increasing demand for high data rates in wireless communication systems is increasing the requirements on the transceiver front-ends, as they are pushed to utilize more and wider bands at higher frequencies. The work in this thesis is focused on receiver front-ends composed of Low Noise Amplifiers (LNAs), Mixers, and Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCOs) operating at microwave frequencies. Tra
Despite advances in material science, computers and building technology, building failures related to building physics continue to occur. These failures range from a building not meeting its energy use target to a building causing people to become ill from exposure to various chemicals or biological organisms. These failures cost society considerable amounts of money each year and many of these fa
