This paper explores the relationship between geographical diversification and derivative hedging, as well as their impact on corporate value. We employed multivariate regression analysis using a sample of 211 publicly listed U.S. companies on the S&P 500 index from 2019 to 2023 to examine this relationship. Our focus is foreign exchange hedging and the interaction between hedging and firm

I en tid av fokus på diagnoser och ökande psykisk ohälsa är det intressant att se vilken plats salutogenesen har inom BUP. Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur behandlare verksamma inom BUP ser på det salutogena perspektivets plats på BUP vid bedömningar. Studien är en kvalitativ intervjustudie, där sex yrkesverksamma behandlare inom BUP har intervjuats. Data analyserades med reflexiv tematiskIn a time where a lot of focus is on diagnosis and increased psychiatric unhealthiness it is interesting to investigate the place of salutogenesis in BUP, the communal Swedish child psychiatry. The aim of this study was to explore how therapists within BUP perceive salutogenesis. The study is a qualitative interview study, containing six interviews. The data was analyzed with reflexive thematic an

This thesis investigates the news media’s portrayal of the amendment to the Swedish Criminal Code, also known as Brottsbalken in Swedish (BrB, 1962:700), in which the sentencing rules in regard to young offenders were changed. Prior to the new amendment, individuals younger than 21-years-old were entitled to an ‘ungdomsrabatt’ or ‘straffrabatt’ that applied during sentencing for all crimes. Under

Ecosocialist theorists increasingly call for nationalisation programmes to nationalise fossil fuel industry giants in order to orchestrate a just transition on a timetable compatible with pulling the emergency brake on climate collapse. Yet few such programmes exist. Synthesising utopian- and eco-socialist theoretical frameworks, this thesis uses class conflict informed participatory backcasting t

Antalet barnvräkningar har ökat stadigt år för år i Sverige. Detta trots att den svenska regeringen sedan långt tillbaka fastslagit en “nollvision” mot vräkningar av barn. FN:s barnrättskommitté har vid flertalet tillfällen rekommenderat Sverige att agera för att bättre följa sina internationella konventionsåtaganden, men de senaste åren av reformer och utredningar har inte haft någon effekt på anDespite efforts to turn the trend, the number of evictions of children have not decreased in Sweden. In fact, the number has steadily increased, despite the Swedish governments ”zero-vision” on child evictions. The CRC has on several occasions recommended Sweden to better conform with international law, but no clear improvement has been seen. This thesis investigates if the Swedish government has

While the government of Hong Kong has acknowledged the need to increase renewable energy contributions in its fuel mix, the implementation of renewable energy projects in the region is constrained by complex topography and limited land availability. To overcome these challenges, a pragmatic solution is devised through the use of a site suitability analysis which expedites the identification of

Sedan de tidiga mänskliga civilisationerna har människan använt djur till diverse ändamål, såsom föda, kläder och arbetsredskap. I takt med människans tekniska framsteg har djur börjat användas som testsubjekt, så kallade försöksdjur, för att säkerställa att olika ämnen och behandlingar är säkra. Avseende transplantationskirurgi har djur spelat en avgörande roll i utvecklingen, och det är en reellSince early human civilizations, humans have used animals for a variety of purposes, such as food, clothing, and tools. As human technology has advanced, animals have been used as test subjects, known as laboratory animals, to ensure that various substances and treatments are safe. In transplant surgery, animals have played a crucial role in its development and there is the potential for further s

Eating disorders are highly prevalent and serious mental illnesses, that are embedded in wider social structures of inequalities and oppression. While social isolation is a key triggering and perpetuating factor, social support emerges as a gateway towards recovery. The online sphere holds great potential to connect eating disorder individuals, creating a space for social support towards recovery.

Med utgångspunkt från mödrahälsovårdens basprogram avgör barnmorskan vad det är för information som ska delges under barnmorskemottagningens föräldrautbildning. Barnmorskans arbete ska främja de blivande föräldrarnas delaktighet genom information och möjligheten till informerat val. Specifik förlossningsförberedande information om exempelvis valmöjlighet av förlossningsplats hittas endast som bify

Möjligheten att använda tidiga förhör som bevismaterial trädde i kraft år 2022 och innebär att förhörsutsagor givna under en förundersökning som spelats in med ljud och bild inför en brottsutredande myndighet får i vissa fall användas som bevismaterial under huvudförhandlingen. Förhörsutsagor är ett viktigt bevismaterial och det är således av stor vikt att deras innehåll är fullständigt och korrekThe ability to use preliminary investigation interviews as evidence was implemented in 2022, allowing statements given during a preliminary investigation, recorded with audio and video, to be used as evidence in the main trial under certain circumstances. Oral statements are an important piece of evidence, and it is therefore of vital importance that they are complete and accurate to ensure their

This Bachelor’s degree project investigates how compact living can influence the design of a piece of seating furniture, while also focusing on circular design and multifunctionality. The project follows the classic steps of a design process; from research and ideation to a final prototype. The result is Tupplur, a transformative sofa-bed with focus on compact living, multifunctional design and su

Bakgrund: De senaste två decennierna har medicinska interventioner i samband med födsel ökat globalt. Förstföderskor har en högre incidens av medicinska interventioner än omföderskor. Vid rutinanvändning av medicinska interventioner ökar risken för att kvinnors delaktighet negligeras, vilket kan leda till en negativ förlossningsupplevelse. Det saknas studier om hur förstföderskor upplever delaktig

This paper aims to investigate the understanding of the dynamics of media influence on public perception and political discourse, particularly in the context of contentious issues such as NATO membership. The study specifically examines “SVT Nyheter,” a Swedish public-service news channel, aiming to investigate whether its reporting has been diverse and democratic. To investigate this, a quantitat

Denna masteruppsats utforskar hur praktiserande domare värderar teknisk bevisning i brottmål. Detta är ett område som ofta diskuteras i bevisrättslig doktrin, men som sällan undersöks ur domarens praktiska perspektiv. Genom en kombination av en rättsfallstudie av åttiotvå brottmål och tre domarintervjuer undersöks hur bevisvärderingen i praktiken förhåller sig till bayesiansk sannolikhetsteori, enThis master’s thesis explores how judges assess technical evidence in criminal cases. This is a discussed topic, yet seldom examined from the practical perspective of the judge. By combining a case study of eighty-two criminal cases, alongside with three interviews with judges, the thesis examines how evidence assessment in practice relates to Bayesian probability theory, a mathematical method for

Bakgrund: Sverige har en nedåtgående amningsstatistik sedan 2004 och globalt ammas endast 48 procent av spädbarn exklusivt vid 5 månaders ålder. Tidigare forskning har visat att föräldrar hade önskat mer amningsförberedande information under graviditeten, vilket ingår i barnmorskans kompetensområde. Det finns få studier som undersökt barnmorskans perspektiv på hinder och möjligheter för amningsråd
