This paper explores the relationship between income inequality, the non-bank financial sector and financial stability. By using panel data for a set of countries the study examines whether higher income inequality is associated with a larger non-bank financial sector, and whether the size of the non-bank sector is linked to reduced stability in the traditional banking sector. Additionally a time s
”Hwart hjerta andas krig”: an analysis of the depiction of war in Skillingtryck 1770–1830. Even though modern Swedish history has been distinctively peaceful, with the country not having been at war since 1814, the Swedish prime minister Ulf Kristersson stated in January 2025 that Sweden, while not at war, is not at peace. Since conceptualizations of war have varied throughout history, this thesis
This thesis investigates how business angel investors interpret and evaluate hybrid entrepreneurial teams, startups led by founders who retain salaried employment while launching their ventures. While hybrid entrepreneurship is increasingly common, it challenges traditional heuristics around founder commitment, team scalability, and investability in early-stage finance. Drawing on ten qualitative
Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire (1976) reshaped the vampire genre by combining Gothic horror with BDSM elements. The novel explores the tension between aesthetics and ethics, where violence is presented as both intimate and seductive. Key relationships, such as between Louis and Lestat, show power dynamics defined by submission and control. These dynamics are expressed through vivi
Despite generative Artificial Intelligence’s (AI) explosive growth in popularity and record of biased outputs, little attention has been paid to the technology’s potential to shape perceptions around sustainability. This analysis investigates which perceptions about climate change causes, impacts and solutions are visually naturalised or marginalised by three text-to-image AI models: GPT‑4o, Ideog
The dune regions of the Curonian Spit are undergoing a gradual deflation and transformation towards a vegetated surface as a result of extensive forestation and dune stabilization efforts limiting sand input to the dunes. Current dune monitoring in the Spit relies mostly on field levelling, whereas radar interferometry – used extensively in land surface monitoring elsewhere – is not utilized. This
The purpose of this study is to examine the differences in M&A performance between specialist and generalist serial acquirers. This study employs an event study methodology to estimate the abnormal returns associated with each acquisition. Subsequently, multiple regression analysis is conducted to examine the relationship between these abnormal returns and the classification of acquirors as ei
In the rapidly evolving landscape of entrepreneurship, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a pivotal tool reshaping how founders navigate uncertainty and allocate resources. Grounded in Sarasvathy’s dual logics of causation (predictive, goal-oriented planning) and effectuation (adaptive, resource-driven experimentation), this study investigates whether AI reinforces entrepreneurs’ default
Mental health services increasingly seek ways to implement Learning Health Systems (LHS) to enhance care quality of patients. This bachelor's thesis focuses on DIALOG+, a structured tool used in psychiatry designed for patient-centered communication. By visualizing and analysing data from DIALOG+, continuous learning can be supported within clinical settings to improve treatment and organizati
This study examines the effect the ADHD traits hyperactivity/impulsivity and inattentiveness have on entrepreneurs during the planning of the pre-launch phase. Using Person-Environment Fit theory, Dual Pathway Model, and Coping-Dueling-Fit theory, this study explores how cognitive and emotional difficulties associated with ADHD impact entrepreneurial planning. The data was collected through a qual
There is still limited understanding of how entrepreneurial identity evolves over time and what the consequences of such changes are. Entrepreneurs in the creative industry is an interesting field to study identity work due to the ongoing tension between the commercial drive for growth and financial success and the creative pursuit of artistic authenticity and expression. This study, refers to the
Abstract Title: More Than Money: Human and Social Capital in Financing Swedish Innovative Small Enterprises. Seminar Date: 03/06 - 2025 Course: Degree Project: New Venture Creation- Entrepreneurship and Innovation, Lund University School of Economics and Management, 15 ECTS Authors: Daniel Milde & Gustav Lingevik Supervisor: Joakim Winborg Keywords: Entrepreneurial finance, Human capital, Soci
A challenge when predicting physiological corrosion behaviour of biomaterials is the lack of established correlation between the results from in vitro and in vivo studies. This project investigates how the selection of immersion testing method affects the degradation of magnesium based alloys by comparing corrosion rates obtained from three methods: bioreactor, incubator and isothermal calorimetry
This thesis investigates how early-stage FinTech startups integrate Artificial Intelligence (AI) into strategic decision-making processes under conditions of uncertainty. By employing the OODA loop (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) as a foundational framework, the study examines the evolving role of AI within each phase of the decision-making cycle. Drawing on nine in-depth interviews with founders a
The standard model can be tested by measuring the electric dipole moment of the neutron. The standard model predicts |d_n| ~ 10^{-32} ecm while experimental searches have reached a sensitivity of |d_n| < 1.8*10^{-26} ecm. Discovery of a nEDM magnitude above |d_n| ~ 10^{-32} ecm would indicate a CP-violation from beyond the standard model physics. An experiment using a novel technique to combine t

Recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) offer a promising alternative by enabling code generation from natural language. However, despite progress, LLMs still struggle with spatial reasoning, structural fidelity, and robustness across diverse GIS datasets. This thesis systematically compares three LLM adaptation strategies, i.e., prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), an
