This study investigates the financial effects of the European Union’s Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD), with a particular focus on whether firms’ greenhouse gas emissions influence the financial impact of these regulations. While previous research has examined the impact of ESG disclosures on financial performance, no studies have investigated whether a firm’s environmental risk, as measur

Idag används intelligenstester frekvent i rekryteringssammanhang och då dessa tester har visat sig vara en stark prediktor för framtida arbetsinsats läggs vikt vid dessa när det kommer till olika urvalsprocesser. Av den anledningen är det inte ovanligt att arbetssökande får genomföra ett intelligenstest vid flera tillfällen i sin karriär vilket kan leda till olika resultat vid olika tillfällen. StIntelligence tests are frequently used in recruitment contexts since these tests have shown to be a strong predictor when it comes to future work performance. Therefore, it is not uncommon for job seekers to take these tests on several occasions throughout their careers with scores fluctuating to some degree. The aim of the study was to investigate whether there is an improvement in the performanc

Simulerad patientdata och AI för förbättrad upptäckt av förmaksflimmer År 2030 förväntas upp emot 17 miljoner människor i Europa lida av förmaks-flimmer, en sjukdom med mycket allvarliga konsekvenser. Denna studie utforskar användningen av simulering och maskininlärning för att effektivisera diagnostiseringen, och därigenom potentiellt förebygga uppemot 20% av alla strokes. I Sverige uppskattas Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an arrhythmia distinguished by irregular heartbeats, which has seen a significant rise in prevalence globally. Due to the risk of strokes, the condition necessitates early detection and intervention to prevent severe complications, highlighting the critical role of early and precise detection techniques. To effectively train and validate machine learning (ML) models, ha

A small wind power plant connected to the grid has been modeled in Modelica/ Dymola and controlled using external controllers written in C++. The small wind power plant consists of three wind power units with a nominal power of 3kW and one grid connection interconnected with an internal DCgrid. All the controls needed for control and optimization for the operation of the individual parts in the pl

Wind energy production is a section that became bigger and bigger thanks to the interests in finding new ways to produce energy that do not involve fossil fuels because of environment concerns, because of their costs and because of their limited amount. Even though wind energy was exploited also in the past, for example in wind mills, it is with wind turbines that all the problems affecting these

Under de senaste åren har EU-kommissionen hindrat koncentrationen i flera högprofilförbud i komplicerade fall som involverade användning av omfattande marknadsundersökningar, kundundersökningar, och i ett fall en omfattande användning av ekonometriska analyser, för att bedöma effekterna av koncentrationen. Denna uppsats undersöker dessa tre beslut samt ett antal beslut, i stora och komplexa ärendeIn the past few years the European Commission has made several high profile prohibition decisions that involved the use of large market investigations, surveys, and in one case the extensive use of econometric analyses, to determine the scope & effects of the concentration. These three decisions, as well as a number of newer decisions in other complex and large cases that were approved, with o

Much attention has been put on making new buildings have a "low energy" standard, but old buildings also need to become more energy efficient. In this paper, the emphasis has been put on trying to insulate the house so much that it complies with BBR's requirements. The house chosen is a house that is almost entirely constructed of brick. Exterior walls consist of double brick with an

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Detta är en studie av Holocena sjösediment. Den undersökta sjön, Vuolep Njakajaure (68°20'N, 18°47'O) ligger i Abiskodalen i de norra delarna av Kaledoniderna. I denna studie har fyra borrkärnor av alggyttja jämförts med magnetiska analyser (susceptibilitet(χ), SIRM) och glödförlust. Borrkärnorna har korrelerats i huvudsak baserat på SIRM/χ och S-kvot.

Berggrunden i sydvästra Sverige består av bergarter som deformerades och metamorfoserades under den Svekonorvegiska kontinent kollisionshändelsen. Den så kallade ”Sveconorwegian Frontal Deformation Zone” norr om Vättern och Protoginzonen söder därom anses utgöra den östligaste gränsen för Svekonorvegisk omarbetning. Söder om Vättern är Protoginzonen en 20-30 km bred N-S deformationszon. FortsättniThe bedrock in the southwest of Sweden was deformed and metamorphosed during the Sveconorwegian orogeny. The Sveconorwegian Frontal Deformation Zone north of the lake Vättern and the Protogine Zone south of the lake is regarded as the eastmost boundary of Sveconorwegian reworking. South of lake Vättern the Protogine Zone is 20-30 km wide made up of a system of discrete ductile (and locally brittle

This thesis examines if education as a channel for environmental awareness affects battery electric vehicle (BEV) adoption in Sweden. It discusses how the pollution from internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEV) lead to economic cost both to governments as well as citizens. It also analyzes different control variables that were aimed at capturing economic concerns, age and convenience in BEV adop

Broad public contention against nuclear energy can be observed as a new phenomenon in Japanese society after the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident. This study aimed to detect an ample explanation about why the emergence of such a protest movement did only occur after the direct experience of a critical event and did not happen before. Discrediting a sole and simple grievance-base

Men are more interested in a researcher career than women, and awareness about the gender imbalance within the Academia increases men's interest (Tellhed, 2013). This study aimed to examine what causes the increase in men's interest and impairments in women's interest towards a researcher career. Two hundred and eight (99 males, 109 females) students received information about the Acad

Not many people know that there exists a custody center for illegal immigrants in Sweden. Here immigrants live unwillingly until they get sent home to their country. They get put in custody because they haven’t got the right to stay in the country and the state is afraid they will go “under ground”. The staff consists of different types of people working every day with these immigrants. There work
