Does it pay to adopt Climate-Smart Practices? Despite the general understanding that CSA practices or innovative land management methods increase farmers’ food security, the key to the current debate within the literature is to understand the extent to which CSA practices explain differences in farmers’ productivity and resilience to climatic shocks. To fill this gap, this study examines the varia
Purpose: The high failure rate of M&As is still one of the main puzzles. The purpose of this research is to identify how concepts of failures changed after the global financial crisis and to see the main causes of such failures according to the research in the set time frame. Theoretical framework: Motives of M&A failure are categorized into synergy motive and self -managerial motives. Ba

This study aims to examine how a partnership structure in a professional service firm causes political action by stakeholders within an organization and what effect this has on collaboration. As our case organization has a distinctive organizational structure characterized by a partnership structure, separate services, and a strong incentive system, we argue that these factors have an impact on p
Mass Spectrometry- based proteomics has matured to an analytical tool applicable in many areas of life science. Although, limitations remains where much focus has been towards the development of search engines to more accurately identify peptides in fragmentation spectra. This report aims to investigate four search engines; MSGF+, Andromeda, MSFragger and pFind in order to assess the advantages an
The bachelor course Architecture in the Contemporary studies different digital processes and fabrication, to develop structural and spatial typologies. With a focus on the contemporary architectural discourse, opportunities and prospects of digital design is examined. The design task is to create a naturum in Lilla Stenshuvud, Kivik where one Sustainable Development Goal from the Agenda 2030 works
Kycklingkött är det kött med minst klimatpåverkan och fjäderfän, Gallus gallus, är den djurart som det föds upp flest av i världen. I Sverige ökar antalet fjäderfä samtidigt som den genomsnittliga besättningsstorleken ökar. Det är mer väsentligt än någonsin att hönsen som vi använder inom livsmedelsproduktionen mår bra och har en hög djurvälfärd. Synen är det sinnet som fåglarna använder mest och Factory produced chicken meat has the lowest climate impact and domesticated poultry, (Gallus gallus), is the world's most commonly bred animal. In Sweden the production of poultry is increasing, also the size of an average facility with chickens is increasing. Vision is their dominant sense organ and the vision is important for the animals to be able to explore their environment and search fo
Den här uppsatsen är en studie om hur kvinnliga piloter hanterar stereotypa könsbaserade förväntningar i rollen som ledare. Studien är kvalitativ och genomförd vinter/våren 2021. En anknytning görs till befintlig teori, främst Role Congruity Theory (RCT) som kortfattat innebär att kvinnor har problem att uppnå kongruens mellan sin könsroll som kvinna och sin yrkesmässiga roll som ledare. StudienThis paper is a study on how female pilots handle stereotypical gender expectations in the role as a leader. This qualitative study was performed during winter/spring in 2021. Connections are made to existing theories, mainly Role Congruity Theory (RCT) that suggests that females have issues achieving congruence between their role as a female and their professional role as a leader. The study conc
This thesis aims to describe and analyze three different solutions on how to make vaccines for COVID-19 available from a patent law perspective under the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS). Under the TRIPS, patent law provides exclusive rights for vaccine inventors to prevent or stop others from commercially exploiting the patented invention for 20 years. Du
Studien planerades som en studie inom människoförändrande arbete. I centrum skulle pedagoger och socionomers arbete mot att förändra elever, vars identitet hyser normaliseringar av, för skolan, normöverskridande beteenden. Dessa pedagoger och socionomer arbetar med eleverna inom en nystartad kommunal verksamhet vid namn Lots-teamet. Studien utvecklades mot att undersöka vilka möjligheter nämnda ve
Countries in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) have lagged behind in educational outcomes despite having on par levels of education spending given their level of development. This suggests that LAC suffers from poor efficiency of education spending which could be due to the high level of public investment in tertiary education. Hence this study looks at the relationship between efficiency and
Den här studiens syfte var att skapa en bättre förståelse för varför man ska bygga mer med gröna tak samt att göra en jämförelse mellan gröna tak och bjälklag med växtlighet. Vi undersökte även gröna takets nytta som en ekosystemtjänst samt hur nyttan kan ökas. I Sverige har man blivit inspirerad av arkitekten Le Corbusier som utgick från att man kan kompensera minskning av grönt område i stadsmiThe purpose of this study was to create a better understanding of why you should build more with green roofs and to make a comparison between green roofs and floors with vegetation. We also investigated the benefits of green roofs as an ecosystem service and how the benefits can be increased. In Sweden, they have been inspired by the architect Le Corbusier, who assumed that they could compensate
There are great challenges we have to face in the environmental and climate field, especially when greenhouse gas emissions are changing the conditions for human life and impacting biodiversity. The main reason resulting in climate change is greenhouse gas emissions during production and consumption of goods and services. The Green Public Procurement (hereafter GPP) acts as a powerful tool to reac
The rural-urban divide is a long-established construct in sociology. More recently, the choice of rural youths to remain or move to an urban setting has attracted substantial research interest. One factor surrounding the choice situation of the youths consists of officially sanctioned norms in the form of the discourse of the state, in particular on the three key terms rural, urban and youth. The
När vi läser den aktuella kursplanen för musik i grundskolan och gymnasiet och tittar på utbildningsutbudet inom folkhögskola och eftergymnasiala musikutbildningar i Sverige kan vi se ett ökat intresse för musikskapande från utbildningsväsendet. Med utgångspunkt i Bennetts (2012b) resonemang från artikeln You can’t teach songwriting…! där han skriver: “if songwriting can’t be taught, it can certaiWhen reading course plans for music classes or looking into the available music courses in the Swedish school systems’ pre higher and higher educations (gymnasium, folkhögskola and post gymnasium), the increased interest in creating music is shining through. Using Bennett’s (2012b) argument “if songwriting can’t be taught, it can certainly be learned” (Bennett, 2012b, s. 34) from the article You c
In this work we investigate the hard and soft interactions in the multiple parton interactions (MPI) simulation in Herwig7. The investigation covers how the number of soft and hard interactions in an event is linked to the multiplicity of final state particles. We also present a labeling system for particles produced by different interactions, which we then use to classify the final state particle
Inledning: I en värld där social medier växt fram existerar inspiratörer, motivatörer och opinionsskapare som genom sitt agerande påverkar vad människor gör. Så kallade influencers. Influencers är beroende av följare och beroendet ger följare användarmakt. Vad händer om en influencer inte gör sina följare nöjda? På samma sätt som influencers har makten att påverka dess följare så har följarna på s
This thesis attempts to study the linkages between the energy consumption, digitalization and internet expansion. Due to the ongoing global pandemic that served as a natural experiment, studying the potential impacts of telework and digital entertainment on energy consumption has become much easier and more urgent than ever, since both are growing rapidly, and no definitive answers on their impact
Studien undersöker om investerare kan ta hänsyn till hållbara och etiska aspekter genom negativ screening utan att behöva betala ett pris i form av lägre riskjusterad avkastning relativt marknaden i normala- och kristider. Studien består av 5655 bolag spridda över 51 olika länder. Ur dessa bolag skapades åtta portföljer med olika screeningnivåer. Deras riskjusterade avkastningen mättes relativt et
