‘Killer acquisitions’ are fairly a new phenomenon which stems from a researcher’s study related to concerns from a series of mergers in the pharmaceutical industry (Big Pharma) around 2018. Killer acquisitions occur in the pharmaceutical sector and also in large digital and technological markets occupied by large companies (Big Tech). They are putting themselves into a position of overwhelming mar
The widespread adoption of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) across energy storage systems, electric vehicles, and consumer electronics is accelerating, yet the safety challenges associated with thermal runaway (TR) events remain incompletely understood. This report presents a structured review of current knowledge regarding flammable and toxic gas emissions from LIBs during TR, the consequences for fiThe widespread adoption of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) across energy storage systems, electric vehicles, and consumer electronics is accelerating, yet the safety challenges associated with thermal runaway (TR) events remain incompletely understood.

Popular Abstract in English The main aim of this thesis was to contribute to the knowledge about mechanisms involved in the development of type 1 diabetes (T1D) and other autoimmune diseases in children. Immune markers in relation to genetic propensity in children with autoimmune disease, mainly T1D and a small group of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and thyroiditis (THYR), as well as healthy
Climate change risks are escalating, especially in vulnerable coastal areas. Extreme weather events and rising sea levels emphasize the urgency for comprehensive discussions on how coastal areas can be adapted to climate change, both presently and in the future. The aim of this study is to increase understanding of how Swedish municipalities work with nature-based solutions to reduce the risk of c
The business model is a useful concept to understand how a firm operates. However, little is known about how business models can be managed in times of change. The concept of business model innovation, which is also referred to as business model change on a component-level in the literature, constitutes the adaptation to external factors challenging the sustainability of a company’s business model
Hip fractures constitute a major problem, both in terms of a lower life quality for the people affected and socio-economical factors. Osteoporosis is a medical condition, defined by decreased bone mass, which results in a more fragile bone structure and a higher risk for fractures. Osteoporosis accounts for a cost of € 1.5 billion each year in Sweden alone, and the costs are increasing. In order
This study takes an in-depth look at sustainable procurement criteria used in the procurement of indirect services. A gap is identified in the literature analysis in the knowledge of sustainable procurement strategies and practice methods for the purchase of services and indirect spend categories. The author uses a case study method to investigate how sustainable procurement of indirect services i

This paper explores how marketing is conducted in for-profit social ventures. Knowledge regarding the for-profit social context is considered rather limited given that it has been largely marginalized by being associated either to the fully for-profit or solely non-profit extremes. In that respect, much of the existing literature has not to acknowledge the unique challenges that a dual mission, su
Forest ecosystems, covering over a third of land on the Earth, play a significant role in the global hydrological cycle, and influence soil erosion and climate change. However, the distribution, movements, quality of water, and hydrological processes in forested ecosystems are not well understood yet.

Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to examine the role of internal control implementation that plays in the enterprises’ operation. We evaluate it from the Head of Finance (as Director of Finance in the enterprises) perspective and see whether adequate internal control implementation is important for the enterprises’ operation. Methodology: This thesis is based on a qualitative and deductiv
Climate change has led to an increase in heavy summer rainfalls, and climate projections for Sweden indicate that there will be more sudden rainfall in the future. While the exact locations and time for this rainfall are unknown, it is known that there will be damages to buildings, cars, and people when the rainfall occurs. It is thus important to evaluate past events to understand the resulting fClimate change has led to an increase in heavy summer rainfalls, and climate projections for Sweden indicate that there will be more sudden rainfall in the future.

When we communicate with others, we use a variety of abilities to facilitate and enable that communication. These abilities range from being responsive to others’ communicative cues to making one’s own communication more functional. Such facilitators of communication has been suggested as atypical in the development of autism.
