Migrants do not only affect the societies in which they arrive. When people leave in large numbers, their absence will also have indirect consequences for the societies from which they left. Between 1860 and 1930, 1.4 million Swedes emigrated abroad, most of them settling in the United States. In this essay I look at how this historic migration episode, in which a quarter of the population left th

Forests are important ecosystems worldwide and in Sweden, where over half of the land is forested. Forestry management strategies significantly impact ecosystem productivity and carbon sequestration. This study focuses on comparing two prevalent forestry management strategies: Rotation Forestry (RF), which uses clearcutting as the prevalent timber extraction method, and Continuous Cover Forestry (

The Hummeln structure is a relatively recently confirmed impact structure located in the northeastern part of the province of Småland in Sweden (57.37347°N 16.25084°Ö). Due to its relatively recent confirmation, detailed petrographic studies regarding shock metamorphism and shock metamorphic features in the Hummeln-1 drill core are lacking. The drill core is the only drill core from the structure Det är ett allmänt känt faktum att det som orsakade det senaste massutdöendet och därmed slutet på dinosauriernas era var ett meteoritnedslag. Mindre känt är kanske det faktum att meteoritnedslag faktiskt är ganska vanligt förekommande sett ur ett geologiskt perspektiv. Lyckligtvis är konsekvensen av dessa väldigt sällan ett massutdöende, men meteoriter kan ha en stor påverkan trots det. Ett exemp

Denna studie presenterar resultaten från den första detaljerade strukturanalysen av glaciotektoniska strukturer på de norra klippexponeringarna på Ven tillsammans med den första sammanhängande tolkningen av öns glaciotektoniska utveckling. Dessutom presenterar studien resultaten av den första geomorfologiska kartläggningen av land former på Ven. Det primära syftet med denna studie var att fylla kuThis study presents the results from the first detailed structural analysis of glaciotectonic structures of the northern cliff exposures on Ven alongside the first coherent interpretation of the glaciotectonic evolution of the island. Additionally, the study presents the findings of the first geomorphological mapping of surface features on Ven. The primary objective of this study was to fill gaps

In 2017 the Upper Secondary School Act [Hereafter gymnasielag/en] was adopted in Sweden and provided temporary residence permits and a chance of permanent residency to ‘unaccompanied refugee minors’ who previously had been denied asylum. This study includes voices of four young people who have managed to fulfil this journey from temporary permits to permanent. Moreover, three people who through va

Following the increasing sustainability trend and awareness, investors now look beyond only financial considerations when purchasing stocks. This paper analyzes the relationship between Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) scores and stock performance, measured by returns. It investigates if splitting the sample period would result in a different magnitude of abnormal returns. This study furthe

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic affected the internal communication within organizations of different sizes, including high-growth firms. Therefore, this research examines how the CEOs recognition of the importance of communication skills –within informal interactions– may have implications for the overall development of the growing firm. Furthermore, it analyzes how face-to-face interactions have b

Problem description: A vast amount of research has been done on outsourcing due to the trend of outsourcing activities to low-cost countries that have influenced the manufacturing industry. However, many researchers emphasize that there is not enough research conducted on the subject of insourcing decisions. Hence, it is necessary to explore this area further to create a deeper understanding of th

From the 1920s to the 1970s, a great leveling in incomes occurred throughout the industrialized world. However, our knowledge on the trends and causes of the great leveling are inconclusive, especially as research primarily has focused on the trends of the top 10 percent of income earners. By compiling a new micro dataset on the individual level from tax records for specific top and low-income dis

Food Waste is a global issue concerning the environment, resources, social justice and economy. Despite being so pressing, around one-third of food produced is discarded worldwide. Meanwhile, food waste is incredibly complicated, requiring collaborations of all stakeholders and various innovations. Too Good To Go (TGTG) utilizes technology to bridge consumers and food business and save food waste

Kreditsäkerheter i fartyg kan upplåtas genom ett flertal olika konstruktioner. Denna uppsats avhandlar tre utav dessa varianter; sjöpanträtt i fartyg, retentionsrätt och ägarförbehåll till helt fartyg. Sjöpanträtt i fartyg är en legal panträtt som i princip inte kan upplåtas genom avtal. Sjöpanträtt uppkommer som en giltig sakrätt endast för sådan skada som har ett direkt samband med fartygets veCredit securities in ships can be provided for by several different constructions. This thesis focuses on three of these varieties; maritime liens in ships, right to retention and title reservations in ships. Maritime liens in ships is a legally granted right that principally cannot be obtained by contractual agreements. Maritime liens evolve as a valid right in rem only for such situations speci

This study describes an aggregate relationship between exchange rate risk and foreign direct investments. The relationship is conducted by panel data estimations, with variables derived from the OLI-framework and prior research. Sample data consists of 36 countries for the time series 1991-2009. Estimations are controlled for country specific variations by using fixed effects, regional dummy varia

In prospective cohort studies, person-time time is calculated from baseline until the first definite event occurs or until censoring. A way to correctly identify and date definite events when only routine registers are available is to retrieve all hospital discharge notes and death certificates with a diagnosis of probable event and perform a consecutive revision. It is important to detect all pos

Smoking is a well-established risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Studies have indicated that smoking may outweigh the benefit of blood pressure (BP) control. Our aim was to compare cardiovascular risk factors in smokers vs non-smokers from a national sample of treated hypertensives. Data were collected on smoking habits, BP control, total and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, diabete

Background: In Malmo approximately 250 000 citizens live in 17 administrative areas with substantial socioeconomic differences. At the single centre for arterial reconstruction, Malmo University Hospital, all procedures are registered prospectively. Methods: Between 1987 and 2002, 1832 Malmo citizens underwent reconstruction for peripheral arterial disease, either intermittent claudication (IQ or
