This paper examines the relationship between ultra-low interest rates and the amount of zombie firms using panel data for Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland over the period 2007-2020 in a multivariable regression model. Specifically, the questions addressed are: is there a relationship between the interest rate and the amount of zombie firms? Could it be concluded that the amount of zombie firms

Background To learn from incidents, it is imperative that people involved feel safe to share their complete unadulterated stories without fearing punishment. Recently, the Netherlands Public Prosecution Service has begun to offer general aviation pilots an alternative to prosecution. Objective Gain insights into the lived experiences of the adjudged pilots and the public prosecutor for aviation an

Imagine that it is June 19th, 2007, and you work for U.K’s largest brewery, InBev. That morning, an article appeared in The Argus titled: “City Judge Condemns ‘Wife- Beater’ Booze.” In the article, John Hardy, judge at Brighton’s Crown Court, says the following: “there are keywords which recur all too frequently in cases involving young men and alcohol. They are ‘Stella’ and ‘binge drinking’.” You

Med det ökande behovet att minska användandet av fossila bränslen så är metaller ett utmärkt alternativ för att elektrifiera samhället. Koppar är en av de viktigaste metallerna på grund av de stora mängder som förekommer naturligt på vår planet. Det är även på grund av dess utmärkta egenskaper. Sedan koppar upptäckes för flera århundraden sedan har användandet fortsatt att öka. Koppar och dess egeCopper and copper alloys are important material systems for the electrification of society. The high workability of the materials makes them appropriate in numerous different applications which require highly conductive properties. One main advantage of Cu and Cu-bearing alloys is the eminent ability to be repeatedly recycled without losing the advantageous properties. This raises the question whe

This thesis project implements a virtual environment that emulates an em- bedded Electronic Control Unit (ECU) with a dual CPU in Quick EMUlator (QEMU). Hardware rigs are an expensive and time-consuming bottleneck in the development process. To obtain an edge over rig hardware, we need to execute software verication, which allows us to improve performance without compro- mising hardware. Emulation

This paper uses a cross-country study to understand how national culture affects institutional private equity and venture capital investments in Europe, using previous works of Groh, Liechtenstein and Lieser (2010) and Hofstede, Hofstede and Minkov (2011). We argue that national culture might affect capital allocation and that this parameter is often missing in the contemporary discourse on the dr

The topic of Supply Risk Management (SRM) has increased in relevance as the need for a resilient supply chain has become more prevalent. There have been numerous articles published throughout the years regarding SRM and Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM), including articles with case studies of global OEM’s. Company A, a global OEM located in Sweden, has realised that proactive SRM is a topic of

Covid-19 is the first type of coronavirus that was characterized as a pandemic, year 2020. The prevention methods to minimize the spread of the corona virus did vary somehow between the countries. Sweden followed a somewhat different strategy for dealing with Covid-19 than its neighbouring countries in the Scandinavian region; Denmark, Finland, and Norway. In this paper, we will compare the outcom

Farm size expansion in some countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, including in Ghana, is a recent phenomenon, and is indicative of the agricultural transformation process taking place in the region. Technology use and adoption level is an integral and complex part of this process, which is studied in relation to the expanding farm sizes and agricultural transformation in this study. It follows an explo

In 2022 Victoria's Secret had a brand awareness of 85% in the United States, a feat that any marketeer would perceive as great or even amazing. However, while brand awareness was high, revenues had been on a constant decline since 2017, continuing to show signs of uncertainty for the corporation. It is possible that the history of the brand explains where it strayed from the path to success t

Studiens syfte är att bidra med kunskap kring musiklärares undervisning och bedömning av sång i årskurs 7–9 i förhållande till den nya läroplanen Lgr22, samt de metoder lärare använder för att hjälpa elever i sångsvårigheter att nå måluppfyllelse och utveckla tilltro till sin förmåga att sjunga; metoder som lärarens uppmuntran, kommunikation och verktyg för tonträffning. Olika perspektiv lyfts fra

Prosodic cues can aid speech processing by adding semantic information in lexical tones or functional information in intonational tones. Swedish word accents are considered to have stronger grammatical functions than semantic roles, although they are shaped by both lexical and intonational information structure. This has been repeatedly observed by studies using event-related potentials (ERPs), fu

Torrlagda våtmarker släpper ut mer växthusgaser än alla personbilar i Kristianstad kommun. Mer än 70 procent av utsläppen kan undvikas genom att marken läggs under vatten igen. Det visar resultaten från denna studie som har kartlagt dränerade våtmarker i kommunen. Men det finns tydliga intressekonflikter då merparten av utsläppen kommer från jordbruksmark. På nationell nivå är det likadant: uEmissions from drained organic soils is a big contributor to global warming and corresponds to 5% of global and 25% of Sweden’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This study uses a GIS-analysis to map the organic soils in Kristianstad municipality in Sweden and what land use occurs on these soils. The purpose of the study is to provide the municipality with information when investigating the possibi

High tide flooding (HTF) is becoming more common in coastal regions of the United States, although this phenomenon remains largely undocumented in published literature from other parts of the world. No matter the emissions scenario over the next decades, sea level rise (SLR) is projected to continue worldwide until at least the end of the 21st century, continually pushing the frequency and severit

I Sverige har vi inom successionsrätten ett laglottskydd som garanterar bröstarvingar en viss del av den kvarlåtenskapen en förälder lämnar efter sig när denne avlider. Till skydd för laglotten finns bestämmelsen 7 kap. 4 § ärvdabalken (1958:637, ÄB), även kallad det förstärkta laglottskyddet. För att bestämmelsen ska bli tillämplig måste arvlåtaren bortgivit egendom under omständigheter eller på In Sweden, we have a legal protection within inheritance law, statutory share of inheritance which guarantees direct heirs a certain share of the estate a parent leaves behind when they pass away. To protect the statutory share of inheritance there is a provision in Ch. 7 Sec. 4 of the Inheritance Code (1958:637, ÄB). For the provision to be applicable, the testator must have given away such prope

Reglerna som styr civila aspekter på olovligt bortförande av barn enligt 1980 års Haagkonvention om de civila aspekterna på internationella bortföranden av barn är inte fullt kompatibla med de rättigheter som följer av Förenta nationernas konvention om barnets rättigheter . Trots barnets centrala roll i ett olovligt bortförande eller kvarhållande uppstår ett dilemma när 1980 års Haagkonvention skaThe rules governing civil aspects of the unlawful abduction of children under the 1980 Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction are not fully compatible with the rights deriving from the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. Despite the child's central role in an unlawful abduc-tion or detention, a dilemma arises when the 1980 Hague Convention is t

Arbetet ämnar att förklara och förstå skillnader och likheter i orsakerna till konflikter i regionen Syrien, Irak och Kuwait under de senaste tre decennierna. Genom återkommande faktorer vid alla faktorer generaliseras sedan dessa orsaksförklaringar mer generellt för att kunna appliceras på andra regioner runt om i världen. Arbetet kommer att analysera konflikterna utifrån neoliberal institutional
