This paper uses a cross-country study to understand how national culture affects institutional private equity and venture capital investments in Europe, using previous works of Groh, Liechtenstein and Lieser (2010) and Hofstede, Hofstede and Minkov (2011). We argue that national culture might affect capital allocation and that this parameter is often missing in the contemporary discourse on the dr

The topic of Supply Risk Management (SRM) has increased in relevance as the need for a resilient supply chain has become more prevalent. There have been numerous articles published throughout the years regarding SRM and Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM), including articles with case studies of global OEM’s. Company A, a global OEM located in Sweden, has realised that proactive SRM is a topic of

Covid-19 is the first type of coronavirus that was characterized as a pandemic, year 2020. The prevention methods to minimize the spread of the corona virus did vary somehow between the countries. Sweden followed a somewhat different strategy for dealing with Covid-19 than its neighbouring countries in the Scandinavian region; Denmark, Finland, and Norway. In this paper, we will compare the outcom

Farm size expansion in some countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, including in Ghana, is a recent phenomenon, and is indicative of the agricultural transformation process taking place in the region. Technology use and adoption level is an integral and complex part of this process, which is studied in relation to the expanding farm sizes and agricultural transformation in this study. It follows an explo

In 2022 Victoria's Secret had a brand awareness of 85% in the United States, a feat that any marketeer would perceive as great or even amazing. However, while brand awareness was high, revenues had been on a constant decline since 2017, continuing to show signs of uncertainty for the corporation. It is possible that the history of the brand explains where it strayed from the path to success t

Studiens syfte är att bidra med kunskap kring musiklärares undervisning och bedömning av sång i årskurs 7–9 i förhållande till den nya läroplanen Lgr22, samt de metoder lärare använder för att hjälpa elever i sångsvårigheter att nå måluppfyllelse och utveckla tilltro till sin förmåga att sjunga; metoder som lärarens uppmuntran, kommunikation och verktyg för tonträffning. Olika perspektiv lyfts fra

Prosodic cues can aid speech processing by adding semantic information in lexical tones or functional information in intonational tones. Swedish word accents are considered to have stronger grammatical functions than semantic roles, although they are shaped by both lexical and intonational information structure. This has been repeatedly observed by studies using event-related potentials (ERPs), fu

Torrlagda våtmarker släpper ut mer växthusgaser än alla personbilar i Kristianstad kommun. Mer än 70 procent av utsläppen kan undvikas genom att marken läggs under vatten igen. Det visar resultaten från denna studie som har kartlagt dränerade våtmarker i kommunen. Men det finns tydliga intressekonflikter då merparten av utsläppen kommer från jordbruksmark. På nationell nivå är det likadant: uEmissions from drained organic soils is a big contributor to global warming and corresponds to 5% of global and 25% of Sweden’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This study uses a GIS-analysis to map the organic soils in Kristianstad municipality in Sweden and what land use occurs on these soils. The purpose of the study is to provide the municipality with information when investigating the possibi

High tide flooding (HTF) is becoming more common in coastal regions of the United States, although this phenomenon remains largely undocumented in published literature from other parts of the world. No matter the emissions scenario over the next decades, sea level rise (SLR) is projected to continue worldwide until at least the end of the 21st century, continually pushing the frequency and severit

This Master’s Thesis was written in collaboration with Handelsbanken Asset Man- agement in Stockholm, through the Faculty of Engineering at Lund University. This paper aims to investigate algoritmic trading on the financial market from a theo- retical and a practical perspective. The theoretical section presents an approach of using sentiment analysis for predicting asset price movements. The algo

Previously, Berg and Purcell found an expression for the diffusion current of particles into a set of receptors in their paper Physics of Chemoreception. These receptors were assumed to be uniformly distributed on a spherical cell's surface and the receptors where idealized as circular patches. For their model, the particles' diffusion constant was the same for all points outside of the ce

Sympoietiska rum är en undersökande och reflekterande process som utforskar hur sympoiesis kan användas som redskap för att generera mötesplatser mellan olika arter i staden. Projektet har sin utgångspunkt i konceptet sympoiesis, vetenskapshistorikern och vetenskapsteoretikern Donna Haraways teori om samhörigheten mellan olika arter. Jag har använt sympoiesis som teoretisk grund för att spekulera Sympoietic spaces is an investigative and reflective process that explores how sympoiesis can be used as a tool to speculate in multispecies meeting spaces in the city. The project has its starting point in the concept of sympoiesis, science historian and science theorist Donna Haraway’s theory of the interconnected relationships between species. Various questions have driven the work forward and

Sub-band full duplex is a new communication scheme technology, where a single frequency band is partitioned into sub-bands for downlink (DL) and up-link(UL) transmissions, and both can take place simultaneously. The idea behind the sub-band full duplex development is to improve the throughput, and coverage and reduce the latency of the UL communication by allowing the UL reception during the DL tr

Modern human animals’ relationship with Nature is damaged and damaging. An emotional and physical separation is at play in this broken bond, with footwear literally and metaphorically embodying the disunion between spirit and body. This research explores how North Atlantic populations can use barefooting to support the healing of human animal connection with Nature, leading to pro-environmental be

Barnfridsbrottet infördes för att stärka det straffrättsliga skyddet för barn som bevittnar brott mellan närstående. Även om rättsväsendet i och med den nya regleringen har fått verktyg att synliggöra och hjälpa dessa barn, finns en faktor som resulterar i en särbehandling av dem i rättstillämpningen. Denna faktor utgörs av lagrummets närståenderekvisit, som kräver att det utsatta barnet ska vara This thesis presents the new offense that was introduced in order to strengthen the protection of children who witness certain crimes committed between relatives or other persons whom the child can be considered to have an emotional attachment to. Even though the criminalisation has enabled the legal system to identify and assist these children to a greater extent, a factor remains which results i

Bakgrund: Åttiotvå procent av Sveriges befolkning har någon gång under sin livstid avstått från att söka vård för problem kopplade till sin sexuella hälsa. Majoriteten av arbetsterapeuter lyfter inte sexuella hälsoproblem med sina patienter på grund av bristande kunskap, otydliga riktlinjer samt få träningsmöjligheter. Syfte: Syftet var att undersöka faktorer i mötet mellan arbetsterapeut och kliBackground: Eighty two percent of Sweden's population has at some point in their lifetime refrained from seeking care for problems connected to their sexual health. The majority of occupational therapists do not approach sexual health problems with their patients, due to a lack of knowledge, unclear guidelines and few training opportunities. Aim: The aim was to explore factors in the meeting b

Straffbuden för givande respektive tagande av muta träffar ett brett spektrum av personer. Trots reformen som skett på området år 2012 är brottsbalkens bestämmelser svårtolkade och allmänt hållna. Därutöver saknas det fortfarande en legaldefinition av rekvisitet ”otillbörlig förmån” som är det rekvisit som avgränsar en tillåten förmån från en otillåten sådan. Vad som bedöms vara otillbörligt varieThe legal regulation of giving and receiving bribes affect a wide range of individuals. Despite the reform that took place in 2012, the provisions of The Swedish Penal Code regarding this area are difficult to interpret and generally vague. Furthermore, there is still no legal definition of the element of "undue advantage," which distinguishes a permissible advantage from an impermissibl

Syftet med detta examensarbete är att bidra med kunskap om snickares matematikanvändning och fråga om byggelever tror att matematik används i yrket, och i så fall vilken. Syftet är också att se ifall byggelever anser att matematik 1a är en rättfärdigad kurs i sin utbildning.
