This study aims to investigate the relationship between corporate governance and financial performance of listed Singaporean companies. We collect the data from 137 listed companies for the period of four years from 2013 to 2016. In this research, corporate governance is driven by a wide range of variables, which include the dual role CEO, board size and board independence. Besides, the financial
This paper investigates the spatial distribution of different knowledge sourcing mechanisms by a network of video game developers in the Skåne region of Sweden. The video game industry has evolved considerably since its inception; transforming from a localized niche industry to one of the fastest growing media industries in the world. This paper aims to address how industry evolution engenders bot
In the construction of high-speed railways, an important starting point is to make as little Intrusion on land as possible, therefore it is of high importance to carefully investigate which construction alternatives are the most advantageous. The purpose of this work is to compare and evaluate land use and building on viaduct. The work will be based on literature and interview studies. Sections of
Cloud is used more than ever before, and the trend seems to continue as more and more organizations choose to use cloud services such as database, storage, computing, or web servers. As more organizations choose cloud, the question of which cloud platform that best suits their needs is more relevant than ever. Within this thesis, the four largest cloud platforms have been evaluated to give future
The Swedish railway system has a lack of capacity, which has caused major delays and problems with punctuality. One of the reasons is the increase in rail traffic over the recent decades. To reduce the pressure on existing railways, the Swedish government is planning to construct the first Swedish high-speed rail link. Connecting Stockholm, Göteborg and Malmö with high-speed trains. A high-speed r
To satisfy the increased demand for transportation in Sweden the new high-speed railroad line is expected to be finished in 2035. The railroad is expected to connect the three major cities Stockholm, Malmö and Gothenburg with a top speed of 350 km/h. In this report the cost of on-board personnel and energy is investigated on the Lund – Stockholm stretch for speeds up to 420 km/h. The cost of perso
The notion of the bioeconomy is a growing topic in both politics as well as in academic papers. Related to sustainable transitions, this paper analyses to what extent differences in visions and expectations exist in the developing bioeconomy. In particular, the aim of this thesis is to increase the knowledge regarding differences in expectations and visions for industries collaborating in the deve
The interest for corporate governance as a research subject has surged over the past decades as a result of a number of publicised corporate scandals. These events highlighted the substantial impact that poor decision making at board level can have on a firm and its stakeholders. In an effort to counter the threat of dysfunctional boards, stricter corporate governance regulations have been enforce
In attosecond physics, pump-probe experiments have been a promising tool to study the fundamental light-matter interaction process of photoionization. In this context, photoelectron spectroscopy is used to spatially and temporally characterize the ejected photoelecron. Low repetition rates can be limited in resolution by space-charge effects \cite{spacecharge} and measurement statistics which can
The aim of this essay is to examine young men's stories and thoughts about the violence and the street shootings that have been committed in Malmö in recent years. The stories and thoughts are thus aimed to identify some forcings behind the violence in the city. By listening to the young men's stories, the purpose is to portray norms and factors that contribute to criminal activities among
Människan har genom alla tider givit upphov till avfall. I takt med att utvecklingen fortskridit har även mängden avfall ökat vilket ställt krav på en effektiv avfallshantering. Deponering och kompostering är några av de metoder som används för omhändertagandet av avfall där mängden organiskt avfall som deponeras har minskat till följd av de förbud som införts. Mängden organiskt material som omhänThrough time, mankind have given rise to waste. Along with the evolvement of technology the amount of waste has steadily increased which in turn have put high demands on waste management. Landfills and composts are some of the methods used for treatment of waste where the amount of organic waste that is being landfilled has decreased due to restrictions. The amount of organic waste that is being t
This study will examine how relative solmization can be used to teach children and young people how to sing and read sheet music. Data collection was done using four methods; case study, observation, qualitative interview and stimulated recall. The literature chapter of this study accounts for the differences between absolute and relative solmization, and then describes relative solmization based
When massive timber decks are used in buildings the design is often regulated by serviceability limit state (SLS), mainly the vibration criteria. To decrease the risk for vibrations of a deck the bending stiffness needs to be increased. To increase the bending stiffness of the deck either the depth of the deck can be increased or the stiffness of the used material. The most common way to increase
The study adapts on the cybernetic controls part of the framework of Malmi and Brown (2008) elaborating the discussion to resolve the limitations of traditional accounting practices with the combination of modern accounting techniques. Since some conventional practices of accounting are no longer commensurate to the contemporary lean manufacturing environment, the emerging techniques come in place

This study evaluates investments in education and schooling outcomes of children in households that engage in internal migration. Using panel data from Indonesia, community and household fixed effects are employed to account for unobserved heterogeneity and self-selection of migrants. Maternal migration is found to be associated with an average 30% reduction of educational expenditure and worse sc

Heat and moisture induces an inflammation, causing pain and often secondary infections. The aim of this degree project was to develop a prototype for a topical film forming emulsion for patients suffering from Intertrigo. The prototype should deposit a film on epidermis which decreases frict
This thesis explores the relationship between the reader or buyer of books and the brand of the publisher on the Swedish book market. The aim is to investigate whether the name or logotype of the publisher is important for the average reader and what aspects might be more or less important than the publisher. A digital survey was sent out to reach a wide range of informants. Three focus groups wer
