Heart disease is a significant public health threat, and its burden is increasing worldwide. Recent evidence suggests that dietary pattern is a key modifiable factor for heart disease. Research regarding dietary patterns and heart disease in Bangladesh with their spatial variability is limited. In this study, the spatial variation and relationship between dietary patterns and heart disease among B

Denna studie åsyftar att utreda hur saltlösning påverkar vanliga slitlager i kontrast till hur luft samt vatten påverkar slitlager. Slitlagerna representerades av asfalttyperna asfaltbetong, dränerande (ABD11 70/100) vilken är en dränerande beläggning samt asfaltbetong, stenrik (ABS11 70/100) som är en tät beläggning. ABD och ABS användes i experimentet eftersom ABD har en högre hålrumshalt än ABSThis study aims to investigate how salt solution affects typical road wear courses in contrast to how air and water affect road surfaces. The wear layers are represented by the asphalt concrete Porous Asphalt (PA or ABD11 70/100) which is a draining road surface and Stone Mastic Asphalt (SMA or ABS11 70/100) which is a dense road surface. PA and SMA were used as contrasts to use in the experiment

Bokförings- och bokslutsarbete relateras till de finansiella rapporter som företag upprättar och som bygger på bokförda belopp. Sammanställning av resultaträkning och balansräkning och analys

Wind energy has been established since before the 2000s and has experienced significant growth, particularly influenced by documents like the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement, which shaped global perspectives on sustainability. While wind energy has contributed to desired sustainability goals outlined in these documents, it still confronts numerous challenges regarding circularity and achiev

In this study the fracture energy has been evaluated for birch, which is a relatively common hardwood in Sweden. The Nordtest method has been used to extract the fracture energy through a 3-point bending setup. The fracture energy was studied in the weakest load orientation of the orthotropic wood, which was tensile loading perpendicular to its grain. The directional systems of radial-longitudinal

As the problem of memory-safety continues to pose a significant threat to the software ecosystem, developers need to consider strategies to address these vul- nerabilities. For high-performing applications built on the C/C++ programming languages, solutions have to be easy to adapt without compromising too much on performance. In this thesis, high-performing 5G software is evaluated using the CHER

The upcoming implementation of the ReFuelEU Aviation Initiative presents both challenges and opportunities for the European aviation sector. Starting January 2025, the EU’s aviation fuel mix must include at least 2% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), leading to higher operating costs for airlines due to SAF’s higher price than fossil kerosene. Additionally, the entire fuel supply chain will need to

Purpose: To investigate the relationship between ESG-linked executive compensation and the performance of Nordic publicly listed companies in terms of both ESG and financial metrics. Methodology: The econometric approach utilized in this study involves fixed effects panel regressions. The regressions use ESG scores and financial performance metrics as dependent variables, with ESG-linked executiv

Title: AI regulation within auditing? - The Implementation of the AI Act and its Effects in the Audit profession Seminar date: May 29, 2024 Course: BUSN79, Master thesis in Accounting and Finance, 15 hp Authors: Emilia Werner and Alva Tvede-Jensen Advisor: Liesel Klemcke Key words: Isomorphism, AI Act, sensemaking, AI, audit profession Research question: “How is the audit profession adapting to th

Extant literature has not explored the establishment of green trust through website design elements which communicate sustainability, within the context of international online fashion firms. This study contributes to this topic by exploring how green trust is generated through sustainability-communicating website design elements. To accomplish this, it examines literature that is previously cross

The following bachelor's thesis investigates the sustainability-related tensions present within the single-use paper products and packaging industry. The addressed research question was structured in consideration of relevant theories, such as the Triple Bottom Line (TBL), Dyllick & Hockerts (2002) sustainability model, stakeholder theory, and paradox management strategy within corporate s

We explore the effects of foundation control on CEO incentive contracts. Unlike other blockholders, foundations do not consume the entirety of their cash flow rights, which attenuates the incentives of the controlling foundations to directly monitor the management. We present a simple model of moral hazard which predicts that foundation-controlled (FC) firms will resort to executive compensation a

ObjectivesIndividuals who die by suicide often consult their general practitioners (GPs) in their final weeks of life. The aim of this study was to gain a deeper knowledge of the clinical characteristics and GP assessments and treatments among individuals who consulted their GPs during the month preceding suicide. Further, we compared these features in those with and without contact with psychiatr

The chiral bile salt sodium cholate has been covalently linked to tetra-aryl-porphyrins, conferring them an extrinsic chirality and obtaining new molecules with high tendency to aggregate in solution. The chirality transfer from the molecular to the nano- and meso-scale has been investigated by promoting the self-assembly of the conjugates balancing the ratio of aqueous/organic solvent mixtures an

Oestrogen receptor alpha (ER; gene symbol ESR1) is the most important prognostic and treatment-predictive biomarker in breast cancer. Drugs targeting oestrogen and ER for endocrine therapy of breast cancer include aromatase inhibitors, the selective ER modulator tamoxifen and the selective ER degrader fulvestrant. Tumours can develop resistance to endocrine therapy through several mechanisms, whic

The textile and clothing industry, driven by a linear economic model, significantly impacts the environment, underscoring the urgent need for sustainable reforms within this sector. The circular economy (CE) offers a solution by promoting resource reuse and recycling to minimise raw material extraction and waste. A key component of the CE is extending product lifespans through repair, which helps

The new deforestation-free products regulation (EUDR) is driving significant change in agricultural commodities. From traceability requirements to deforestation-free production, this policy will force supply chains to adapt and ensure that products entering the EU market are free of deforestation. In the palm oil sector, the supply chains in producing countries will have structural difficulties in

Biodiversity depletion directly impacts businesses and society by influencing ecosystem services. Despite the growing recognition of biodiversity loss as a significant crisis, many companies have not yet sufficiently integrated broader nature considerations into their strategies. The Science-Based Targets Network (SBTN) aims to facilitate nature including biodiversity target setting within corpora
