The risk for drinking water scarcity does not only concern developing countries and arid places.

Sweden experiences water shortages more and more frequently during summer, and the need to protect groundwater resources is imperative. In

Over-frequency has become an increasingly relevant issue in the Nordic synchronous power system, mainly because of the increased number of HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) links connecting it to neighboring synchronous systems. The aim of this thesis is to research the impact that over-frequency events, caused by faults in HVDC links, have on the Nordic power system and especially what frequenci

Bakgrund: Kvarstående funktionedsättningar efter stroke begränsar individens förmåga att utföra aktiviteter i dagliga livet. Aktivitetsbaserade interventioner med fokus på meningsfulla aktiviteter har visat sig förbättra aktivitetsutförande, men används i begränsad omfattning av arbetsterapeuter.

Studien är kvantitativ och bygger på data från 148 M&A-transaktioner under perioden 2010–2020, insamlade från Orbis, Nasdaq och årsredovisningar.
