Statutory standard weekly working time reductions (SWRs) have been associated with a number of positive effects. Some of which include work-sharing, increased gender equality, and fewer workplace injuries. This paper exploits the timing of the introduction of the SWRs to the 40-hour workweek in Sweden (1973) and Norway (1977) to estimate effects on hours worked, employment, female employment, wage

Syfte: Att analysera om det finns finansiella incitament för bolag att upprätta kvalitativa hållbarhetsrapporter, genom att jämföra kvaliteten på hållbarhetsrapporter med lönsamhet hos svenska publika företag på Stockholmsbörsen som omfattas av 6 kap. 10 § ÅRL år 2018, men som inte hållbarhetsrapporterade före 2016. Metod: Kvantitativ studie med deduktiv ansats där den statistiska metoden utgörs Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to examine if there are financial purposes for companies to create sustainability reports, by comparing the quality of sustainability reports with profitability for swedish public companies, listed on Nasdaq OMX Stockholm, that are subject to the 6 chapter 10 § Annual Accounts Act by the year of 2018, that earlier haven’t created a sustainability report. Me

Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur karismatiskt ledarskap konstrueras i massmedia genom att göra en närstudie på den massmediala framställningen av Greta Thunberg. Mer specifikt ämnar studien att bidra teoretiskt genom att öka förståelsen för hur konstruktionen av karismatiskt ledarskap skapas i svensk massmedia. Metod: För att uppnå studiens syfte och frågeställning har en kvali

Dispersed across various states following the collective tragedy of the late 1940s, Palestinians nevertheless organised themselves into a coherent national movement during the 1960s and 70s. In exile and at home, they created local and ultimately national structures which eventually facilitated the expression of Palestinian concerns in international arenas. These shared spaces for democratic debat

This paper aims to answer how well affective commitment and leadership efficacy can be predicted by leadership style and gender expression in a voluntary setting. It is expected that invitational leadership, transformational leadership and gender expression predict the two dependent variables. It is also expected that there is a difference within affective commitment and leadership efficacy by sex

Detta examensarbete behandlar ämnet förhöjda havsnivåer. Målsättningen är att ge en ökad förståelse för hur detta kan hanteras vid utveckling och planering av urbana miljöer. Med utgångspunkt från diskussioner och trender i Nederländerna angrips synsättet att betrakta närvaron av vattnet som ett problem till att istället se på detta som en möjlighet och kvalitet. Vad blir arkitekturens roll vid ha

Syfte: Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka om Piotroskis F-score kan uppnå en riskjusterad överavkastning på den utvecklade europeiska marknaden samt om F-score är effektiv i att separera vinnande från förlorande aktier. Metod: Studien har genomförts med kvantitativ deduktiv metod och undersöker F-score som investeringsstrategi på den europeiska marknaden med hjälp av regressionstest baserade på riPurpose: The purpose of the study is to investigate whether F-Score, can generate significant risk-adjusted excess return in European developed markets. Furthermore, the study aims to investigate whether F-Score is an effective tool to separate winning stocks from losers. Methodology: The study has been conducted with a quantitative deductive approach and investigates F-score as an investment str

Face-to-face fundraising is a method used for raising money by having fundraisers working on public spaces. Fundraisers either ask for one time donations, or sign up people to give on a monthly basis, in this thesis the focus is on the latter. For this method to be useful all fundraisers must meet their target goal, meaning that they must get a certain amount of sign ups when they work. By using d

The purpose of this study is to examine the experiences of discrimination among disabled journalists. The background of our study is the growing interest within the media industry for newsroom diversity which aims at achieving better representation. Our definition of diversity includes people with disability in conformity with the Swedish discrimination law, which is accepted as standard within th

Saab Kockums AB har fått i uppdrag av Försvarsmakten att utveckla en ny ubåtsmodell vid namn A26, vilket innebär stora utmaningar för utformningen av brandskyddet. Eftersom det inte är praktiskt möjligt att utforma brandskyddet på en ubåt enbart efter allmänna råd är det nödvändigt att bevisa att funktionskraven kan uppnås med alternativ utformning. Ett verktyg som skulle kunna användas för detta Saab Kockums AB has been tasked by the Swedish Armed Forces to develop a new submarine model named A26. This task poses many challenges, one of which being the design of the fire protection on the submarine. Few spaces are as closed to its surroundings as a submarine, and as consequence little research has been done to study FDS predictions of fire processes in these types of environments. The fo

Mixed Reality (MR) is closing the gap between real and digital and is changing how we interact with digital content. Making physical objects a part of the user interface creates a direct mapping between virtual and reality and along with that emerges many design benefits. Current head-worn see through Augmented Reality (AR) headsets are not only capable of delivering a MR experience but are also s

Current technological limitations make it impossible to store the enormous amount of data produced from proton-proton collisions by the ATLAS detector at CERN's Large Hadron Collider. Therefore, specialised hardware and software is being used to decide what data, or which proton-proton \textit{collision events}, to save and which to discard. A reduction in the storage size of each collision ev

G protein kopplade receptorer (GPCRs) är en grupp proteiner som sitter tvärsigenom cellernas membran med delar på både utsidan och insidan. Som namnet förtäljer så kopplar dessa receptorer till en annan sorts proteiner, G proteiner, och dessa hittas på insidan av cellen. Tillsammans översätter dom extracellulära signaler till intracellulära vilket till slut resulterar i specifika fysiologiska effeG protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) is the largest superfamily of membrane proteins and convert a multitude of extracellular signals and turn them into intracellular responses by binding and activating just a few G proteins. The mechanism for activation is very conserved and is likely to be similar for all GPCRs and G proteins, but how a vast amount of GPCRs selectively couple to specific G protei

This paper investigates the possibility to train a convolutional neural network (CNN) that, by capturing temporal features in weather data, can estimate the expected amount of wheat produced during any year, at any geographical location. The aim is to establish whether a CNN can be used for emulation of simulated global crop production - as responses to changes in CO2, temperature, water, and nitr
