Allmänhetens förtroende är en grundläggande förutsättning för värdepappersmarknadens funktion. Investerarnas förtroende för allmänheten är tänkt att åstadkommas genom att minska företagens informationsövertag. Därför är de bolag som vänder sig till marknaden i syfte att anskaffa kapital skyldiga att tillhandahålla information i en erbjudandehandling, ett prospekt. Om informationen i ett sådant proThe public confidence is a fundamental prerequisite for the function of the securities market.

Bark beetles are a subfamily of insects living in and breeding on woody plants. Some of the bark beetle species have the ability to attack living trees, and thereby the potential to cause major forest damage. These forest damages can have a significant ecological and economic impact to forest ecosystems and foresters. In this study, phenology models were used to compare the responses to climate ch

Molecular imaging techniques have become an essential tool for cancer diagnosis. They have the potential to detect cancer at early stages and thus, they can change the outcome of the disease and patient prognosis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has arisen as one of the most promising imaging methods used for the screening of soft tumor tissues such as breast cancer. However, the specificity of M

Consumers today are much more mobile and are therefore eating out at restaurants much more than they used to do. These new consumer habits put greater demands on food businesses supplying safe food. In order to inform the consumers of the food businesses that have excellent food service, the city of Malmö introduced a reward system called Smiley. The City of Malmö has previously conducted studies

The purpose of this study is to examine how administrators and service users at an employment agency in Sweden regard the relationship between them in joint meetings. Furthermore we want to analyse what role the aspect of power plays in the meetings and to what extent service users participate in shaping the way in which the employment agency works. The study is based on a quantitative survey that

Stormwater from urban areas contain a number of pollutants, among which nitrogen and phosphorous have been of lesser focus. In this study I aim to investigate if biochar has the potential to fill the role as water filter in urban areas, and to pin point what should be experimentally investigated in order to evaluate biochar in comparison to two contemporary filter systems: bioreactors and chalk fi

Historically, inhabitants have always altered their domestic spaces to adapt to different environmental conditions and to meet personal needs. Especially in rural dwellings, lowtech but very effective and simple ways of adaptations have been and are still in use. These methods stand more than ever diametral to the way we dwell and use our domestic spaces today. All the building ele- ments are gett

Tomträtter har varit ett omdiskuterat ämne sen avgälderna började sättas till ett mer marknadsmässigt pris. De ökande avgälderna gör att möjligheten att friköpa tomträtter blir intressant för de som har sin bostad på en tomträtt. I vissa kommuner utgör tomträtter en betydande andel av småhusfastighetsutbudet. Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur tomträttsstatusen påverkar betalningsviljan för sThis study aims to examine the effect of leasehold status on the selling price for houses.

The main point of the thesis is to answer whether im

Circular economy has recently become a central part of European policy, bridging the environmental and economic policy domains closer than ever in an attempt to fulfil enhanced environmental ambitions. As economic operators seek to adopt innovative solutions, the issue of how established legal frameworks hamper or facilitate them becomes central. This thesis examines this point in relation to on

The demand for alternative sources of protein has increased; the so-called “protein shift” is an inevitability. Mycoprotein, a foodstuff produced from the mycelium of filamentous fungi, has gained popularity among consumers. Mycoprotein is grown in submerged culture, in either a simple or a complex, undefined medium. Strategies for yield increase in either medium were studied in this paper. For s

Syftet med denna studien var att undersöka om porrkonsumtion och traditionella maskulina normer predicerar kvinnoobjektifiering. Studien ämnade att bidra med kunskap och psykologisk forskning om effekterna av pornografi eftersom pornografins roll i samhället är större än de senaste decennierna och relativt outforskad. Datainsamlingen producerades genom en digital enkätundersökning som besvarades aThe aim of this study was to examine if pornographic consumption and traditional masculine norms can predict the objectification of women.

Jordbruk är avgörande för människans överlevnad och idag står det inför många problem relaterade till både klimatförändringar och en ökande befolkning. Medan ökande totalskördar under 1900-talet har skapat förutsättningar både för global ekonomisk tillväxt och för befolkningstillväxt, har de jordbruksmetoder som används ofta fört med sig negativa konsekvenser både för ekosystem och människor. JordAgriculture is essential for human survival and today it faces many problems related to both climate change and an increasing population. While increased total yields during the 20th century have created the conditions for both global economic and population growth, the agricultural practices utilized have often had detrimental consequences both for ecosystems and people. The agricultural sector i

In 2019, migrant seasonal workers from outside the EU constituted approximately twenty percent of the hired workforce within the agricultural sector in Sweden. However, the total share of migrant seasonal workers is assumed to be even greater. During 2020 this figure dropped significantly due to the travel restrictions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the Federations of Swedish

This study aims to determine the operational feasibility of utilizing banana cultivation by-products as an alternative raw material in bioplastic production, replacing bio-based feedstock that is otherwise used as food in Thailand. By following the exploratory qualitative research approach, a combination of secondary sources of information together with interviews with the identified stakeholders

With the relative performance between accounting-based and option-based approaches for default prediction being a key subject in previous research, combined with criticism against the rating agencies’ timeliness in assigning credit ratings, surprisingly few attempts have been made to investigate the models’ usefulness in predicting corporate credit ratings.
