ASEAN implemented AANZFTA, a new free trade agreement with Australia and New Zealand, in 2010. Previous studies find mixed and mostly insignificant results on trade increases following AANZFTA. Due to the increased interest in the effects of FTAs on outcomes besides gross trade, this paper analyses value added trade, employment embodied in trade and foreign direct investment using a gravity model.
This thesis examines whether Guarnieri and Rainer's (2021) finding that British colonial rule increased intimate partner violence through male backlash in Cameroon generalises to other Anglo-French colonial borders. Using a regression discontinuity design exploiting the arbitrary placement of the Ghana-Togo border and data from four Demographic and Health Survey rounds, the thesis estimates th
Entrepreneurial decision-making unfolds under conditions of intense uncertainty, limited resources, and intense emotional pressure, yet how specific emotions and emotional states shape the decision-making that entrepreneurs draw on in real time remains poorly understood. This study investigates how emotions influence whether entrepreneurs draw on causal or effectual reasoning in the moment of deci
In 1986, the nuclear disaster in Chernobyl caused large-scale land abandonment which resulted in one of the largest unintended experiments of passive rewilding, yet no study has combined remote sensing land cover classification using a pre-disturbance baseline with vegetation productivity analysis across the full Chernobyl-Palieski Reserve under an explicit rewilding framework. This thesis qu
The decision-making process on land use in Gállok between 2013 and 2022 represents an intense political and societal debate on mining, ‘green transition’, Indigeneity and environmentalism. Children have expressed their views throughout this process and have based on article 12(1) UN Convention on the Rights of the Child a right to so. However, whether children are heard and to what extent their ri
Selecting the right stainless-steel (SS) grade for food processing equipment is a critical decision, since processing environments vary widely and a grade that performs well under one set of conditions may be inadequate under another. The following study evaluates the pitting corrosion resistance of three grades commonly used in the food industry, 316L, 2205 DSS and 254 SMO, under varying chloride
Sustainability-oriented firms increasingly operate under conditions of systemic uncertainty, where ecological, commercial, and legitimacy-related pressures converge simultaneously and resist singular strategic resolution. Despite growing scholarly interest in sustainability-oriented Business Model Innovation (BMI), existing research has devoted limited attention to how firms navigate competing sus
Hybrid dairy products combine animal and plant-based ingredients in a single product and are positioned as a bridge in the protein transition. Existing consumer research has focused on product-level liking and has not examined whether consumers believe these products should exist at all. This study examined what drives purchase intention for hybrid cheese among Swe-dish consumers using a dual-rout
This study examines how school libraries at upper secondary school in Sweden work to promote reading motivation among students, and how Swedish language teachers and students make use of the school library as a resource. The study is conducted against the backdrop of declining voluntary reading among young people, as documented in international surveys such as PISA, and the forthcoming legislative
Atypical femur fractures (AFF) are rare but clinically important fractures that have been associated with long-term mechanical loading and altered bone remodeling. In this study, a phase-field fatigue modeling framework was developed and calibrated to investigate fracture initiation in the femur under cyclic loading conditions representative of walking. The model was based on a previously publishe
Titel: From inspiration to overconsumption - How influencer marketing and social media influence young women's consumer behavior and experiences of FOMO. Seminar date: June 4th, 2026 Course: FEKH29- Bachelor’s thesis in marketing Authors: Sofia Delac, Linda Fors & Malin Olsson Supervisor: Clara Gustafsson Keywords: Influencer marketing, social media, FOMO, consumer behavior, social compar
This thesis examines whether U.S. Official Development Assistance (ODA) reinforces recipient countries’ economic dependence on the United States. It constructs a novel Economic Dependence Index (EDI) combining bilateral trade and financial dependence on the United States and applies fixed-effects panel regressions on 75 developing countries over 2009-2024. The results show that higher U.S. aid sha
Avverkningsförbud till följd av artskydd i skogsbruket innebär långtgående inskränkningar i enskildas möjlighet att nyttja sin mark, samtidigt som det saknas en uttrycklig lagreglering om rätt till ersättning i dessa situationer. Examensarbetet behandlar frågan om ersättning vid avverkningsförbud till följd av artskydd i skogsbruket. Arbetet tar sin utgångspunkt i den konflikt som uppstår mellan s
Research into distributed multiple-input multiple-output (D-MIMO) systems has gained increasing attention as a candidate technology for future 6G networks. However, evaluating such systems under realistic implementation constraints requires real-time testbeds that can capture effects such as synchronization, processing latency, hardware resource usage, and radio-frequency impairments.

Det här projektet undersöker rost som ett material som kan kontrol- leras och användas inom design. I en tid där produkter ofta utfor- mas för att se perfekta och nya ut riktar projektet istället blicken mot hur förändring, åldrande och imperfektion kan bli en del av designen. Stål, koppar och mässing behandlades med olika kemikalier och tekniker. Målet var inte att hitta ett enda perfekt resultat
Denna kvalitativa studie undersöker hur visstidsanställda skådespelare vid svenska institutionsteatrar upplever och navigerar yrkets arbetsvillkor, samt vilka mekanismer som bidrar till att dessa villkor reproduceras. Studien bygger på intervjuer med skådespelare samt en facklig ombudsman och analyseras med hjälp av teorier om sociala fält, kapital, prekaritet och emotionellt arbete. Resultatet be
Seminar Date: 04.06.2026 Course: BUSN79 - Degree Project in Accounting and Finance Authors: Isak Magnusson & Paula Plinke Advisor/Examiner: Reda Moursli/Diem Nguyen Five Key Words: Green Bonds, Cost of Capital, Greenium, Reputation Effect, Yield to Maturity Purpose: This paper aims to study whether a greenium exists for corporate bonds issued by public firms and the effects of repeated
During the upcoming LHC Long Shutdown 3 the ALICE experiment will upgrade its 3 Inner Tracking System (ITS2) layers to ITS3. The final design of ITS3 will have silicon sensors of up to 26 cm × 10 cm, thinned to 50 μm and bent into a cylindrical shape. The sensor prototypes developed are MOnolithic Stitched Sensors (MOSS) that are made of 10 Repeated Sensor Units (RSU). A babyMOSS sensor, consistin
