Exchange rate pass-through to prices differ depending on the underlying shock. Furthermore, the mechanisms causing inflation behave diversely, conditional on why the exchange rate fluctuates. This paper investigates how prices react relative to the exchange rate movements, i.e., the exchange rate pass-through, following specific shocks, how the frequency of price adjustment is affected by shocks,

The aim of the study is to compare the environmental performance in terms of Global Warming Potential (GWP), for reused bricks and newly manufactured bricks used in Swedish Construction Industry. The objective of the study was to compile and conduct Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), in terms of GWP, of newly manufactured and reused clay façade bricks used in Sweden. Cradle-to-cradle lifecycle impact of

Growing concerns and sentiment about the negative environmental effects of the fashion industry pressure fashion companies to adopt eco-innovation and pursue more environmentally-sustainable product development. This study explores and examines the drivers of eco-innovation and environmentally-sustainable product development in small- to medium-sized fashion firms in Sweden and Denmark, with the p

During the mythical 1968, a left-wing wave swept across the world. New social and political issues took place on the agenda with the hope of a more equal, humanistic and better world. In Sweden, left-wing groups worked in solidarity with the people of the Third World, against the war in Vietnam and for increased democratization. The university city of Lund was no exception. The small Scanian town

Den svenska avtalslagen är mer eller mindre oförändrad sedan den trädde i kraft år 1915. Det är därför inte överraskande att flera kompletterande avtalsrättsliga regler har framarbetats med tiden. Konkludent handlande är ett exempel på en sådan regel som har fått sitt svar och betydelse i rättspraxis. Ett konkludent handlande är en situation då en avtalspart uttrycker en tyst, dvs. ”icke uttryckliThe Swedish contract law is almost unchanged since it came into force in 1915. Therefore, it is not surprising that several supplementary contract law rules have been developed over time. An “implied in fact contract” is an example of that, which has received its answer and meaning in legal practice. An “implied in fact contract” arises when a party expresses a silent, i.e., "non-expressed&qu

The matters of economic growth and climate change are both widely subjected to discussions and policymakers are under immense pressure to make decisions that enhance economic growth and stop climate change. Policies that ensure economic growth have traditionally had a negative impact on climate change and vice versa. It is therefore important to study how various policies can address the connectio

Möllevången is a fascinating study of a neighborhood that has undergone significant change and transformation over time. Historically, the area was known for its working-class roots, with crowded narrow streets and traditional Swedish homes; but in recent decades the area has seen waves of gentrification and redevelopment, resulting in a mix of a new and old built environment that has made it one

Online platforms have gained significant economic and societal importance in the last decade; the public debate on their extending influence, responsibilities and liability has also reached unprecedented levels. Platforms entered most product and service markets and disturbed trade, information exchange and communication, by shifting the offline into the online environment; their use of existing d

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka varför användningen av så kallade svansförråd (där avdelningar delar med sig av överblivna läkemedel) på sjukhusen i Malmö och Lund inte fungerar optimalt trots att en rutin för detta existerar, och även vilka förändringar som kan implementeras för att öka användningen av förrådet. I uppsatsen är perspektivet att svansförrådet är en tjänst som personalen k

Modern particle accelerators need strong electric fields in order to produce high energy particles. Such high voltages are typically reached by injecting pulsed radio frequency power through several steps of amplification. At the end, pulse compression is used to further improve the energy gain at the cost of pulse-length. A typical pulse compression method developed at the Stanford Linear Acceler

This study investigates the relationship between narrative marketing and the intention to purchase mortgages. A sample of 88 individuals was recruited through a convenience sample. These 88 individuals were randomly selected into either the control or treatment groups. The treatment group was exposed to narrative marketing communication, and the control group was non-narrative marketing communicat

This quantitative study aims to investigate whether cultural distance has any significant effect on short-term acquisition performance, measured as abnormal returns for Swedish cross-border acquisitions. This study adds to previous literature through filling the gap where there has been a lack of a sample of Swedish acquirers, using a multi-measurement approach, and having a broad sample of acquis

This thesis aims to examine the mechanisms behind the psychiatric diagnosis resignation syndrome and why and/or how it emerged in Sweden in the early 2000s. In addition to this the thesis also aspires to explore the reasons behind why the diagnosis has fallen victim to such a large amount of criticism and suspicion. Through a literature study empirical data, consisting of primarily academic and sc

Last-mile delivery is the part of the e-commerce supply chain that is the least efficient in terms of cost, time, and environmental impact. As e-commerce is expected to keep growing, this puts pressure on last-mile deliveries to reduce their environmental impact if Sweden is to reach its environmental goals for 2045. E-retailers in Sweden are offering their customers a selection of last-mile deliv

For the last couple of decades the study of strategic narratives has increased in the field of international relationships, allowing for a more sociological approach. Aiming more towards viewing the storytelling and framework that is narrated by nation states and global actors. These narratives are key to understanding how we are affected by narration and the framing of events (Van Noort & Col

Industry’s indirect upstream greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions contribute significantly to climate change. To identify and reduce them, some companies conduct a hotspot analysis using an environmentally extended input-output (EEIO) model (often utilizing EXIOBASE database). Despite the widespread use of EEIO models to identify hotspots in industry, their effectiveness in estimating GHG emissions has

This paper investigates the spillover effects of unconventional and conventional monetary policy measures on house prices in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. Two notable results were found using the local projections method and data, including the years of the Covid Pandemic and the Invasion of Ukraine. The first result revealed that policy rate and total asset shocks had spillover effects on house pr

With the rapid growth of data automation, organizing and extracting valuable information from Portable Document Format (PDF) data, such as price quotation sheets, becomes an essential yet challenging task. This study aims to identify effective methods for organizing diverse price quotation documentation to enhance information retrieval from this type of document, using both unsupervised and superv

The EU aims to be a circular economy by 2050, which is the driving force behind this master thesis. Circular transformation is one possible strategy to handle the climate crisis and achieve sustainable development. A circular economy is a system that aims to keep the value of products, materials, and resources in use as long as possible while minimising waste generation (Svenskt Näringsliv, 202
