Slutsats: Studien konstaterar att tidigare etablerade förklaringsmodeller inte nödvändigtvis är applicerbara på den svenska aktiemarknaden. Studien visar att marknaden i Sverige reagerar negativt på en hög budpremie vid annonseringen av ett företagsförvärv. Däremot kan inga slutsatser dras om huruvida förvärvserfarenhet eller betalningsmetod påverkar marknadens reaktion.Conclusion: The study concludes that previously established explanatory models are not necessarily applicable to the Swedish stock market. The study shows that the Swedish market reacts negatively to a high bid premium at the announcement of a corporate acquisition. However, no conclusions can be drawn about whether acquisition experience or the method of payment affects the market’s reaction.

Urban voids are not merely physical gaps on the city map. These are spaces that remain beyond programming, control, and conventional use. Often the result of economic downturns, industrial decline, or intentional neglect, such areas are frequently perceived as uncomfortable, unsafe, or unusable. Yet it is precisely their ambiguity that carries significant potential - the capacity to flexibly adap

Urban greening is increasingly promoted as a strategy for sustainable city development, yet it often carries hidden social costs. This thesis explores the green rehabilitation of Budapest’s 8th district, Józsefváros, a historically diverse neighbourhood undergoing significant change. Using critical urban theory, the right to the city, and feminist urbanism, this study examines how sustainable urba

Air pollution severely impacts public health and contributes to diseases that affect good health-and well-being. This qualitative case study aims to evaluate how healthcare systems address-the disproportionate impacts of air pollution on low-income working communities in Delhi,-based on semi-structured interviews with NGOs, Think-Thanks and hospitals. Aspects of-healthcare access and the social de

Plastic waste represents a major environmental challenge, with polyethylene terephthalate (PET) being one of the most widely used and recalcitrant polymers. Biodegradation offers a promising, mild alternative to conventional disposal and recycling methods. This study aimed to characterize extracellular hydrolases potentially involved in PET degradation, integrating both experimental and computatio

The impacts of climate change upon the globe entail the increase in displacement due to environmental disasters, known as climate displacement. This issue has an intrinsic global dimension due to climate change involving global emissions as a cause, environmental disasters often spanning nation-state borders, and displacement often involving cross-border movement. As a result, global response effo

När miljödepartementet slogs ihop med näringsdepartementet 2023 väcktes frågan: Vad händer med miljöfrågor när de hamnar i skuggan av frågor om tillväxt och konkurrenskraft? Denna studie undersöker om prioriteringen av förnybar energi ändras i den svenska politiken på grund av omorganiseringen. Med torka ena veckan och skyfall nästa så har det svenska vädret blivit alltmer extremt och många oroar Sweden has long been seen as a leader in environmental policy. However, after the reorganization of the Swedish Ministry of the Environment in 2023, concerns have been raised about how this change affects the country’s climate work. This study investigates how the merger of the Ministry of Climate with the Ministry of Enterprise has influenced the political priorities between renewable energy and

The project focus on Industrial design and gastronomy through the development of three kitchen tools for professional chefs. With a focus on enhancing gastronomic creativity, and efficiency, the project aims to solve specific challenges faced in modern kitchens.

A minimum deduction is a common feature in many modern tax structures. One such example is the resource tax on aquaculture in Norway, which was implemented in 2023. This inclusion has sparked significant debate from both economic and legal perspectives. This thesis analyzes the potential behavioral effects and efficiency costs that can be caused by the minimum deduction in the resource tax on aqua

Den biologiska mångfalden minskar i en snabb takt och IPBES konstaterar att en miljon arter hotas av utrotning. Den biologiska mångfalden fungerar livsuppehållande genom att försörja människor med råvaror, medicin, mat och energi. Vad händer när naturresurserna sinar? Det är tydligt att beva-rande av biologisk mångfald är en global och brådskande uppgift, och den privata sektorn är en viktig del aGlobal biodiversity is declining, which threatens ecosystems as well as essen-tial ecosystem services. The corporate sector is an important part of the solu-tion. Companies covered by the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) are required to disclose their impacts on biodiversity according to the European Sustainability Reporting Standard (ESRS) E4 if their impacts are determined to

Prenumerationer på varor med digitala element är ett ökande fenomen på EU marknaden. Det handlar om företag som säljer en fysisk vara, till exempel en bil, och kompletterar dess funktionalitet med ett abonnemang på en digital del, till exempel en GPS. Sådana abonnemang är eftertraktade av konsumenterna eftersom de är praktiska, men de skapar också möjligheter för företag att undergräva förväntningSubscriptions of goods with digital elements are an increasing phenomenon in the EU market. They consist of traders selling a physical good, like a car, and supplementing its functionality by a subscription of a digital element, like a GPS. Such subscriptions are desired by consumers due to their convenience, but foster opportunities for traders to undermine expectations about goods and inflict po

Hatretorik är ett vanligt förekommande fenomen som saknar en allmän accepterad definition. Forskningen rörande hatretorik och ungdomar är begränsad och saknas helt i Sverige. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur svenska gymnasieungdomar skildrar hatretorik och dess bakomliggande mekanismer. Sex fokusgrupper genomfördes och analyserades med reflexiv tematisk analys. Genom analysen genereraHate speech is a common phenomenon that lacks a generally accepted definition. Research on hate speech and adolescents is limited, and no studies have been conducted in Sweden. The purpose of this study was to investigate how Swedish high school students portray hate speech and its underlying mechanisms. Six focus groups were conducted and analyzed with reflexive thematic analysis. The analysis ge

This thesis examines creditor rights within cross-border insolvency proceedings through a comparative analysis of legal frameworks at the national, transnational, and international levels. As creditor rights are derived from the individual national laws applied in cross-border insolvency proceedings, the level of protection and recognition of creditor interests vary significantly across the differ

Med rådande omvärldsläge finns ett behov att utvärdera de förhörstekniker som myndigheter som bedriver underrättelseverksamhet använder sig utav. Tidigare forskning inom området förhörsteknik har avfärdat tortyr och i stället identifierat rapportbyggande strategier som nyckel till informationsdelgivning i förhör. I denna studie observerades 42 unika förhör som genomfördes av förhörsledare under utGiven the current global situation there is a need to evaluate the interrogation techniques used by intelligence agencies. Previous research in the field of interrogation has dismissed torture and instead identified rapport-building strategies as key to eliciting information in interrogations. In the current study 42 unique interrogations conducted by interrogators in training were observed to exa

Ultrafast pulse characterization is an ever-growing field of photonics, given the importance of knowing precisely the outcome of ultrafast laser sources and the impossibility to do so with electronics technology. A new approach to the well-established diagnostics technique d-scan has been recently developed in order to expand the capabilities of the d-scan in a single-shot manner. It is known as s
