n this master’s thesis, one studies the liquidity of bonds. One considers bid-ask spread and develops four estimators of this liquidity measure based on trading data. One also computes Amihud’s measure. This approach helps to determine liquidity and its associ-ated costs without quotation. One finds out that the Roll, the FHT estimators and the Amihud measure take the lead. One looks at the changes
Personality tests are a common tool in recruitment. A problem that may arise is candidates who adjust their answers in a socially desirable way to improve their chances of employment. The research question of this study was: “How the reporting of personality traits is affected by manipulation of the content of a fictional job advertisement and can this be interpreted as socially desirable respondi
The 36-hectare large RWN Areal is located 2 km south of the city center of Neubrandenburg, Germany. What once was founded as a Torpedo Testing Facility during WWII, became a Military Repair Work Facility during the GDR government until 1990. After the German Reunification, the site has only served business and industrial purposes, but was more so neglected in the 2000s and became a blind spot ever
The purpose of this study is to explore whether communicating the liabilities of newness can justify young ventures’ offshoring decisions to such an extent that it moderates country-of-origin (COO) effects. We adjust the established concept of COO effects to the entrepreneurial context and therefore include the country of ownership (CO) instead of the country of design (CD) next to the commonly us
Historically, animals have been excluded from the realms of political theory and political science. The underpinning disposition of this thesis is that animals belong in politics, considering it is the political processes and ideologies that determine our treatment of animals. The European Union started to legislate on the protection and welfare of farm animals during the 1970s. Over time, a slow
This thesis examines how entrepreneurs organise flexible working practices in self-structured environments and how these shape their perceived work-life balance. Unlike research focused on employees in traditional settings, this study explores entrepreneurs operating with high autonomy and little external structure. Drawing on Self-Determination Theory, Boundary Theory, and Spillover Theory, it in
Hållbarhet har under de senaste åren fått en allt större betydelse, då den globala uppvärmningen utgör en av vår tids största utmaningar. Fastighets- och byggsektorn står totalt för 40% av den totala energikonsumtionen i Europa. EU arbetar aktivt för att minska energiförbrukningen i byggnader genom direktivet om byggnaders energiprestanda (EPBD). Det långsiktiga målet med direktivet är att unionenSustainability has become increasingly important in recent years as global warming continues to be the most serious threat to our environment. The real estate sector accounts for 40 percent of the total energy consumption in Europe. To address this issue, the European Union initiated the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), which aims to reduce energy consumption and achieve a fully d
Pesticides or plant protection products (PPP) protect plants from harmful organisms and prevent the spread of invasive species. However, their use is not without problems, as pesticides can have harmful effects on the environment. One of these effects is reduced biodiversity, as pesticides often affect non-target organisms and change water and soil composition. Reduced diversity through the cleari
The coronavirus was first detected in late 2019 in Wuhan, China and spread rapidly around the world. In 2020, the World Health Organization declared the disease a pandemic. This study examines the impact between the COVID-19 pandemic and Swedish citizens' trust in the state and government agencies. As a consequence of the corona pandemic, drastic measures were taken in order to reduce the spre
This thesis analyses relationships between the litterfall components needles, twigs, flowers, fruits, and total litterfall and climate variables (wind speed, air temperature, relative humidity, and precipitation) in a coniferous forest located in southern Sweden. Needles, twigs, and total litterfall were positively correlated with daily average as well as maximum wind speed, whereas negatively cor
Railway expansion is usually associated with containing and supporting economic growth. This particular research approaches railways from the angle of technological potential. It explores whether railways can drive China towards technology-led growth, and if so, the way in which this process occurs. The study uses a theoretical framework of complementarities adjusting it to the qualitative analysi
In an attempt to bridge the gap between the multitude of individuals among consumers and the relatively few varieties of product design intended to suit these users, 'Accommodating Individuality' explores a few different theoretical approaches. Traditional and new forms of user involvement, including participatory design and menuing, are examined but found to fall short in several aspects
Begreppet delaktighet har idag en central roll i styrdokument och forskning inom funktionshinderområdet. Det har en gränsöverskridande karaktär och utgör en mötesplats på tvärs av forskningstraditioner och praktiksammanhang. Samtidigt är det ett komplext begrepp med många innebörder och delkomponenter. Syftet med denna kartläggning är att beskriva och analysera rådande kunskapläge för den forsknin
The aim of the article is to explore trade unions’ use of Internet and social media in communicating with members and to understand membership in the digital era. A point of departure is that new forms of relationships between individuals and organizations are on the rise as our present societies become more digitalized, which has changed how citizens interact, mobilize, and organize.

Barker1*, Magdalena Götz2,3* & Malin Parmar4* The ability to repair or promote regeneration within the adult human brain has been envisioned for decades. Until recently, such efforts mainly involved delivery of growth factors and cell transplants designed to rescue or replace a sp
