This thesis investigates the relationship between board composition and internationalisation in large U.S. consumer discretionary firms, using the foreign asset ratio as a measure of global engagement. Drawing on resource dependence, agency, contingency, and upper echelons theory, it explores the effects of board size, average age, tenure, and gender diversity and assesses how Porter’s Generic Str
The current agricultural model is criticized for its imperialist character and focus on productivity, and it affects peasants and small-scale farmers. However, the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Peasants and Other People Working in Rural Areas (UNDROP), adopted in 2018, could have an impact. The question in focus is: What contribution can the UNDROP, as a soft law instrument, make to
This study systematically reviews the endocrine-disrupting effects of Bisphenol A (BPA) and Bisphenol S (BPS) on aquatic vertebrates and invertebrates to assess potential health- and ecological risks. Scientific articles were analyzed to compare the impacts of these chemicals on reproductive systems, oxidative stress, neurotoxicity, and metabolism. Results indicate that BPA, even at low concentrat
Quantum entanglement is a fundamental resource for various quantum information applications including quantum computing, cryptography, and teleportation. However, detecting entanglement in practice can be challenging due to noisy measurements and limited control over the systems being studied. Steering, which is a distinct nonlocal property between entanglement and bell nonlocality (the strongest
The immune cell population is essential for understanding the immune system’s reaction against the tumor. This study identified T cells and myeloid cells in human papillomavirus positive and negative tonsillar cancer biopsies via extracellular markers to investigate the biopsies’ composition, cellular neighborhood, and interactions. A detection method for tertiary lymphoid structure was developed.
This thesis explores the possibilities of integrating semantic transport information in the context of 3D-city modelling by implementing transport surfaces according to standards defined by the 3CIM specification, an extension of CityGML. This approach aims to automatically generate transport surfaces in LOD1 and LOD2, based on the Stockholm city basemap in combination with road geometries that re
This thesis was conducted to explore the capacity of West Slavic culture’s influence on that of early medieval Denmark from the 9-12th centuries through the examination of artifacts from both camps. Through the methodological observation of Danish and West Slavic material culture, their contexts and their connectivity between West Slavs and Danes, I apply assemblage and actor network theory (ANT)
This thesis examines how psychological traits, specifically self-control and entrepreneurial passion, interact with entrepreneurial intention to predict entrepreneurial action among graduates of a Master's programme in Entrepreneurship and Innovation at Lund University. Guided by the Rubicon Model of Action Phases, we distinguish between the formation of entrepreneurial intention (predecisiona
This thesis investigates the cost efficiency of two drivetrain configurations — Battery-Only and Hydrogen-Battery — for use in mini-trains operating on non-electrified rural railways. The study focuses solely on drivetrain-related components, including onboard energy storage, traction systems, and associated infrastructure such as charging stations and hydrogen refueling facilities. A comprehensiv
Abstract Title: Auditing Firms’ Communication of AI Use: A Study on Image Construction in External Channels Seminar date: June 3 2025 Course: FEKH69 Authors: Johanna Bengtsson, Ahmed Osman and Filip Palac Advisor: Elin Funck Key words: Auditing, Artificial intelligence (AI), Strategic communication, External Communication Research question: How do auditing firms communicate their use of AI in exte
Lake ecosystems are increasingly affected by climate change, leading to prolonged periods of elevated water temperatures. This warming reduces surface water density, intensifying thermal stratification and trapping cold water in deeper layers. Consequently, cold-water fish and other organisms are confined to limited deep-water habitats. Understanding lake thermal structure is crucial for effective
Sammanfattning Titel: En komponentanalys av ESG‑dimensionernas betydelse i europeiska små- och medelstora bolagsfonder. Seminariedatum: 5 Juni 2025 Kurs: FEKH89, Examensarbete kandidatnivå i finansiering, 15 högskolepoäng Författare: Keller Edstrand, Alfred Norén och Eric Svensson Due Handledare: Zahida Sarwary Nyckelord: ESG, CSRD, ESRS, SME Forskningsfråga: I vilken utsträckning påverkar de indi
Mellan övervuxna spår, väderbitna tegelfasader och tomma hallar undersöker vi i detta examensarbete kraften i postindustriella platser, inte som statiska element från det som varit, utan som en generativ grund för det som kan komma att bli. Vi rör oss i spänningsfältet mellan bevarande och förnyelse, där vårt arbete ifrågasätter dualiteterna gammalt/nytt, produktion/boende och minne/utveckling, v
Today, buildings account for approximately 30% of worldwide energy use, with HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems representing nearly 40% of that total. Improving the energy efficiency of HVAC systems is therefore essential for reducing operational costs and mitigating environmental impact. Because HVAC systems operate continuously and under strict operational constraints, acc
Accurate monitoring of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in lakes is essential for understanding aquatic carbon dynamics, assessing lake ecosystem health, and supporting water resource management. While remote sensing offers scalable alternatives to in-situ monitoring, machine learning models often struggle to generalise across systems. This thesis investigates the potential of the eXtreme Gradient B
