The purpose of the study is to investigate how much interest media has shown selected topics in the corporate governance systems in Germany and Sweden. The four selected aspects are: ownership structure, employee representation on the boards, disclosure of board members’ compensation and female directors on the boards. The reasons for and consequences of the similarities and differences will also

The big three American-based rating agencies Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and Fitch are frequently accused of pursuing their sovereign ratings in the interest of their home country – the United States. Since these agencies have crucial influence on the financing costs of countries and share the sovereign rating market in an oligopoly structure, the question of independence is of crucial importan

Two novel tetradentate ligands N, N’-Dimethyl-N, N’-bis(2-(chloromethyl)-1-methylbenzimidazole)- ethane-1,2-diamine (mepL), (-)-2-(((S)-2-((S)-1-(benzimidazol-2-ylmethyl) pyrrolidin-2-yl) pyrrolidin-1-yl)methyl)benzimidazole (PDPL) and their iron complexes [Fe(mepL)(CH3CN)2](SbF6)2 (SbF62), [Fe(CF3SO3)2(PDPL)] (OTf1) and [Fe(PDPL) (CH3CN)2](SbF6)2 (SbF61) were synthesized and characterized with IR

The design of a policy based on the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) principle can involve one or several Producer Responsibility Organisations (PROs) as well as various degree of involvement on the part of municipalities. The thesis is analysing the implications of different choices regarding these two aspects in light of the experiences with EPR systems for household packaging in three Eur

In this study I have investigated the variance in a phenotypically plastic defence trait in the common pond snail (Radix balthica). This species is known to develop a predator induced shell shape when exposed to cues of predatory fish such as the crucian carp (Carassius carassius). My aim was to investigate if this snail species would have a higher level in expressed predator induced shell shape i

Implementing anammox based processes in the mainstream at municipal wastewater treatment plants is challenging and requires carefully constructed control strategies in order to be successful. A method to measure the specific anammox activity (SAA) was further developed and implemented in the mainstream anammox pilot plant at Sjölunda Wastewater Treatment Plant. The developed method was found to be

Title: GMO Food Products The issue of marketing and selling them in Europe - A Business and Legal Perspective. Author: Shane King Supervisors: Anneli Carlsson and Ewa Rabinowicz Problem The European Unions regulations in regard to GMO’s and the approval process for both release into the environment, and onto the market, has been under fire by the USA along with Canada and Argentina. The WTO has ru

Bakgrunden till denna uppsats finns att finna i de klassiska sociologiska teoretikerna, som bland annat studerade vilken mening människan lägger i arbetet utifrån den historiska utvecklingen. Denna uppsats tar sitt avstamp i nätverkssamhället, och försöker utreda vilka effekter den nya organiseringen har för formuleringen av ett meningsfullt arbete. Syftet med uppsatsen är att se hur personalen på

Corporal punishment of children is a widespread practice across the world. The implications of such violence consist of both physical and mental injuries and children are very vulnerable to such treatment. The Convention on the Rights of the Child was put into place, by States from all across the world, for the purpose of granting children a better protection in society. Today, all but two States

På 1970-talet infördes Sveriges första förbud mot insiderhandel, med syfte att upprätthålla ett högt förtroende för värdepappersmarknaden. Sedan tillkomsten har insiderlagstiftningen kritiserats kraftigt. Den främsta grunden för kritiken har varit det låga antalet fällande domar. En anledning till svårigheten att lagföra insiderbrott är att en stor mängd insiderinformation skickas mellan närståendSweden's first ban on insider trading was introduced in the 1970s. The aim of the legislation was to maintain high confidence in the securities market. Since then, the legal field has been subject to extensive critizism due to the low number of convictions. The difficulty of taking legal proceedings against insider crimes is due to many reasons; one being that a large amount of insider informa

Hydraulic models can be used to predict the consequences of flooding events. In this project, three hydraulic models were constructed using the software HEC-RAS, and compared through a case study on Höje river catchment. The models include (i) a 1-dimensional (1D) model, where river and floodplain flow is modeled in 1D, (ii) a coupled 1D-2D model, where river flow is modeled in 1D and floodplain f

Current ripple can cause a lot of problems as it spreads in the DC-side of the TVS of electric and electric hybrid vehicles. Fully knowing the properties of the TVS can be used to build a simulation model to determine the spreading of current ripple beforehand, which in turn is useful for calculating component placement, optimal filter sizes, and component lifetime. Being the second in line of an

In purchasing and sourcing situations not all companies have a guideline or policy on the handling of intellectual property (IP) rights in these. This thesis covers a literature study on the area followed by interviews with high ranking positions in the industry and technology sector. The aim of the thesis is to create an overview of current best practices in said situations. By consulting relevan

Due to internal conflicts and an economical conversion in the mid 1900’s, the Colombian society has seen a great social transition from rural to urbanised in the last 50 years. Apart from positive impacts of urbanisation on social factors, there are hydrological issues coupled to it. With the aim to assess the impact of urbanisation on runoff peak flows in Bogota, the historical change in impervio

Within 10 years the outlook on Africa has shifted from a continent of destitute to the potential next new emerging market. This study is relevant in this regard to investigate to what extent SSA countries are reaping the benefits of foreign investment inflows and the absorptive capacities necessary to benefit from FDI. A cross sectional analysis was done on 34 countries in Sub-Sahara Africa for th
