We resolve the multiple images of the binary-lens microlensing event ASASSN-22av using the GRAVITY instrument of the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI). The light curves show weak binary-lens perturbations, complicating the analysis, but the joint modeling with the VLTI data breaks several degeneracies, arriving at a strongly favored solution. Thanks to precise measurements of the angular
This report presents findings from a case study on food sharing in Utrecht conducted within the CULTIVATE project (Co-designing Food Sharing Innovation for Resilience, https:// cultivate-project.eu/), funded by the EU Horizon Research and Innovation Programme (GA#101083377). It contributes to Task 3.1 in Work Package (WP) 3, examining the economic, social, and environmental dimensions of food shar
After the Rwandan genocide ended in 1994, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR) have continuously posed an existential threat to Rwanda. This paper examines how this external threat has been perceived by the Rwandan government and subsequently responded to through military development measures. In addition, the objective is to evaluate
This research paper investigates the effect of the change in Sweden’s carbon reduction policy, using a Difference in differences method with Denmark as a comparative country. This is done in order to further understand the economic consequences of this change and similar changes in carbon reduction policy. This paper also aims to investigate the pricing dynamics of the diesel market in Sweden. By
Founded in 1952, the European Parliament has progressed through transformational constitutional processes into the primary bearer of democracy within the European Union as its only directly elected institution. As several studies have reported on legislative behavior in previous European Parliament terms, this thesis aims to capture the effects of electoral systems, parliamentary groups’ ideologic
This thesis focuses on the concept “sustainable consumption” and how it is conceptually constructed by Swedish secondhand actors, specifically non-profit actors who actively engage in the resale of clothing. Our current excessive overconsumption of fashion and pressing need to shift to a more sustainable mode of consumption requires us to critically assess the definition of our sustainability idea
In recent years, populist support has grown while public confidence in political and economic institutions has weakened across Europe. This thesis explores the connection between these trends by asking whether populist participation in national cabinets undermines trust in domestic and supranational institutions. Using Eurobarometer surveys and election data from 25 EU member states between 2000 a
This thesis investigates how family ownership affects the short-term market reaction to acquisition announcements by serial acquirers. While family firms are traditionally viewed as conservative and long-term oriented, some engage in repeated acquisitions, a strategy typically associated with higher risk and managerial overconfidence. Using a sample of 678 acquisitions by Swedish publicly listed f
This thesis wants to investigate whether machine learning, trained on candlestick data, can be used to forecast intraday returns. Previous research has primarily focused on returns with longer horizons and is therefore leaving a research gap on shorter horizons. This thesis will use a combination of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) as the deep learning model to
In recent years, a wave of protests has swept the South Asian subcontinent. These protests have been spearheaded by Generation Z, a generation that has been described as disillusioned with, and disconnected from, politics. The protests have been met with disproportionate state violence, despite generally following non-violent disciplines. Bangladesh and Sri Lanka are two such countries. This thesi
The historical dominance of the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan (LDP) is generally regarded as having come to an end around the turn of the century. Some have attributed this dominance to hyper-targeted clientelism enabled by incumbency resource advantages, as K. F Greene’s (2007) resource-theory of single party dominance suggests. As such, the fall of the LDP would be explained by the loss of a
