The aim of this text is to create a phenomenological understanding of the public library as place and space. Because there is very little written about this subject through this particular perspective, my paper can be seen as a knowledge- theoretical contribution to library- and information science. Through my exploration I emphasize the idea of the subject as embodied and its importance in unders

Debts among individuals and households in Sweden have increased over the years. Although statistics from the Swedish Enforcement Authority show that the total number of people registered with excessive debts has declined for the third year in a row, the total amount of debt of those individuals and households who are already overindebted on other hand continues to increase. Moreover, debtors regis

En undersökande studie av historiebruk och materialitet i den nya konsthistoriska basutställningen som just nu håller på att byggas på Malmö Konstmuseum. Undersökningen består av intervjuer med de två intendenter som ingår i utställningens projektgrupp. Svaren från intervjuerna analyseras utifrån teorier om historiebruk, med begreppen historiekultur och historiemedvetande för att analysera olika d

Implementations of ERP-systems are very expensive endeavours and are associated with a high risk of failure. However, the rewards of a successful ERP-implementation are bountiful. Successfully implemented ERP-systems increase the efficiency of internal and external processes, interdepartmental communication, integrity of organisational information and competitiveness. To analyse ERP-implementation

Following a 2016 referendum on European Union membership where 51.9% of the British electorate voted to leave, the United Kingdom has decided to exit the EU and will therefore no longer receive regional EU funding. Previous studies on the voting pattern of the referendum have shown that the concentration of the Leave vote tended to be stronger in regions that have struggled economically in recent

Abstract This thesis evaluates associations between the composition of export portfolios and economic growth in African countries south of the Sahara. These countries suffer from underdevelopment and low economic growth partly due to excessive tariffs on primary export products. Increased knowledge regarding the impact of choice of portfolio may help direct African countries towards improved econo

This thesis examines how European identity is expressed and articulated in the European Union’s State of the Union speeches from 2010, 2015 and 2018 by using the method of idea analysis. The analytical dimensions of the methodology are based on four key aspects of identity formation - action, narrative, difference and multiple - which are operationalised as methodological tools applied to the spee

Purpose: In order to study the Galactic Chemical Evolution, elemental abundances are needed. The purpose of this work is to investigate the chemical evolution of the Milky Way by determining several elemental abundances of giants in the local disk. Large surveys are up and coming, and several surveys are already working, and with these, the aim is high quality abundance measurements of several ele

This thesis studies the correlation between capital share and income inequality using three different income inequality measures. By performing a panel data regression and estimating Pearson’s r I find that there exists a large and positive correlation between capital share and top income shares. This correlation varies across countries and regions. The correlation was largely positive for Anglo-S

Brott mot äldre är ett allt vanligare ämne i samhällsdebatten, men ändå finns det begränsad kunskap kring vilka typer av brott som är riktade till äldre. Oavsett ålder så blir samhällsmedborgare utsatta för alla typer av brott och det finns egentligen ingen speciell typ av brott som endast drabbar äldre. Däremot finns det tillvägagångssätt hos gärningspersonerna använder sig av speciellt mot äldre

This thesis investigates a new trend in political communication, self-controlled digital media platforms, and how they can be categorized in relation to digital media outlets. The analysis is carried out in a Danish setting in the age of the hybrid media system, where several political parties either produce their own podcasts or are associated with online news platforms. Comparing content from

Understanding hope and its motivational generative force in the face of climate change is an imperative, especially in the contemporary context of climate anxiety, doom-and-gloom communication, and spread of hopelessness among the younger generations. Concomitantly, academic research has bloomed this last decade when it comes to demonstrating the potential of hope to draw on negative emotions to n

With the ever increased focus on sustainability and not least the focus on sustainability in the tourism industry this thesis has critically investigated the suitability of the Tourism Carrying Capacity method in a Danish outdoor-tourism context. The research found that there are considerable limitations and challenges to implementing a TCC approach in Denmark, and even if implemented, legally, cu

We investigated CDS-bond basis trading strategies during five different events, which possibly have caused market uncertainty on the European market. Those events include the peak of the Greek debt crisis (2015), Brexit announcement (2016), French presidential elections (2017), Tariffs on European Union (2018) and COVID-19 crisis (2020). Further, using the companies from two different iTraxx indic

Using data from OMXS30, we study which of the models block maxima and peaks-over-threshold, based on extreme value theory, are the most accurate when estimating the risk measures Value-at-Risk and Expected Shortfall. To perform this analysis, the risk measures are backtested. The extreme observations are fitted to the generalized extreme value distribution and the generalized Pareto distribution u

The purpose of this thesis is to critically analyse women’s understanding of gender stereotypes and their perception of their career opportunities and organizational measures for gender equality at a consultancy, with the aim of the resulting in-depth insights contributing to organizations’ approach to enhance gender equality at top management levels. We found that there is a discrepancy of expli

Denna studie presenterar en detaljerad undersökning av utvecklingen av sedimentära landformer under en ablationssäsong vid Blåisen, en del av Hardangerjøkulen, Norge. Två besök vid Blåisen, i början och i slutet av ablationssäsongen, gjorde det möjligt att studera hur landformerna bevaras och utvecklas. Det pågår mycket forskning om glaciala landformer som är en nyckel till förståelse av hur tidigThis study presents a detailed investigation into the evolution of sedimentary landforms over an ablation season at Blåisen, an outlet of the Hardangerjøkulen Icecap, Norway. The two visits to Blåisen, one each side of the ablation season, allowed the preservation and evolution of the landforms to be studied. Much research is conducted studying glacial landforms, which are key in our understanding
