The intended purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between CEO compensation and long-term firm performance within the American banking sector. Restricted stock awards as a proportion of total calculated compensation (RSA%) are used to measure the degree of equity compensation, while return on equity (ROE) and net interest margin (NIM) act as proxies for firm performance. The ded
This research examines adult consumers’ inclination towards beauty brands in connection to the phenomenon; “Sephora Kids.” Focusing on consumers' ethical considerations, this research investigates whether child-targeted marketing influences beauty consumers’ inclination toward these beauty brands.
Artificial intelligence (AI) development thrives on global datasets, yet every outbound transfer of EU personal data must now satisfy two demanding regimes; the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Artificial Intelligence Act (AIA). The GDPR lets exporters rely on Adequacy Decisions, standard contractual clauses, or other Article 44-49 tools only if they can guarantee an “essentia

Food waste represents major economic, social and sustainable challenges across the European Union, particularly within fresh fruit and vegetables (FFV). This study aims to quantify the amount of fresh food waste generated post-harvest for five FFV products i.e. avocados, bananas, cucumbers, eggplants and peppers (ABCEPs). This study will analyze and estimate the waste generated across 31 European
This thesis examines Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and financial inclusion, two factors suggested by the previous literature to potentially reduce women’s risk of IPV. For this purpose, data from a cross-sectional health survey on Burkinabe women aged 15 to 49 who were married or living with their intimate partner was analyzed. Results from a multilevel logistic regression ana
Bakgrund: Kulturhistoriska byggnader har ett särskilt historiskt, estetiskt eller socialt värde och skyddas av regler som begränsar förändringar. Med rätt byggnadsvård och tekiska lösningar kan bevarande kombineras med energieffektiviseringar. Även om bevarande ofta innebär högre initiala kostnader, kan det ge långsiktiga värden både kulturellt och ekonomiskt. Syfte: Syftet är ett undersöka hur kThroughout history, construction practices have reflected the materials, knowledge, and economic resources available at the time. These historical characteristics are now seen as cultural assets worth preserving. However, older buildings often fail to meet modern standards, necessitating significant interventions to comply with today’s regulations. This thesis explores the challenges and opportun
Measurements of vertical ground reaction force (vGRF) is an important factor to consider in gait analysis and is often used in clinical studies. Traditionally, these measurements are often done using force plate sensors embedded in the ground. Recent advancements in the field have made it possible to conduct these studies using treadmills with similar embedded sensors, systems consisting of either
This thesis investigates the relationship between automation and deindustrialisation in the context of Brazil, a developing country experiencing significant structural economic changes. While automation is often associated with productivity growth and economic advancement, its implications for employment, particularly in emerging economies, remain contested. Drawing on the Lewis 2.0 framework and
With the rapid diffusion of short video social media, a wave of rural influencers has emerged on China’s TikTok (Douyin), using short-form content to build personal brands and engage in sociocultural expression. Anchored in practice theory (Shove et al., 2012), this study adopts the “material–competence–meaning” triadic model to examine how these rural creators strategically construct personal bra
När passagerarfartyget Marco Polo gick på grund utanför Skånes kust hösten 2023 läckte olja ut i havet. Men vad händer med livet under ytan efter ett sådant oljeutsläpp? I denna studie har blåmusslor använts som naturens egna vittnen och deras skal bär på spår av hur djur anpassar sig till en förorenad värld. När ett fartyg går på grund och släpper ut olja i havet är det inte bara stränderna som Oil spills are known to cause severe ecological damage, yet the long-term effects on benthic organ-isms are still not fully understood. This study investigates how blue mussels (Mytilus edulis trossulus) were affected by the 2023 oil spill caused by the grounding of the passenger ferry Marco Polo in the Hanö bay, southern Sweden. Here I compare mussels collected from four oil-contaminated sites wi
Ett vattenskyddsområde vad är det egentligen? Jo, runt om i Sverige finns det idag områden med speciella förhållanden som är skapade för att skydda vårt grundvatten. Dessa områden har speciella regler som måste följas. Reglerna är enormt viktiga och reglerar bland annat lantbruken inom dessa områden gällande hantering och användning av kemikalier. Olika dispenser för användningen finns även inom oThis study investigates the relationship between the use of pesticides within Ängelholm Municipality’s largest water protection area and the levels of these substances in the drink-ing water. With a growing population and modern lifestyle, society has developed a de-pendency on continuous food production, which in turn has led to increased use of pesti-cides to ensure stable harvesters. This can h

In today’s world, many companies are pushed to adapt their business models in response to evolving external pressures. While business model change has received increasing attention in research, relatively little is known about how such change actually unfolds inside organizations. Responding to calls for a more dynamic view of business models, this thesis explores how strategy process factors medi
This study investigates the mechanisms driving flocculation in potato-based milk analogues, a critical quality defect arising during long-term storage. Initial hypotheses implicated starch retrogradation as the primary destabilization mechanism, given its well-documented role in plant-based systems. However, enzymatic treatment with α-amylase successfully hydrolyzed amylose (confirmed via iodine s
Välgrundade förutsägelser av olika livsmedels kvalitet och säkerhet är mycket viktiga för att förebygga matsvinn. Ofta görs dessa förutsägelser med hjälp av lagringsstudier där produkten lagras i förhållanden som simulerar produktens väg från producent till dagligvaruhandel. Dessa studier kräver mycket resurser och tid, vilket belyser behovet av accelererade hållbarhetsstudier – som är baserade påAccurate predictions about the quality and safety of food are critical to prevent food waste. Often, food is stored in conditions simulating a product’s way from production to retail, which allows producers to assess quality and safety during the product’s shelf life. These storage trials are costly and time-consuming, meaning that there is incentive to reduce the testing time. Accelerated shelf-l
