How sustainable are sustainable enterprises? Examining sustainability and economic value trade-offs in a Danish coffee company

Starting a sustainable business is challenging because growth decisions need to balance sustainability impact and economic feasibility. This thesis seeks to examine what trade-offs sustainable enterprises face and how they balance decision making when faced with these dual logics. We conduct a case study analysis of CleverCoffee, a Danish B-Corp certified coffee roastery, using qualitative data co

An evaluation of the Janzen-Connell hypothesis for a dry tropical forest in Guinea-Bissau

The Janzen–Connell hypothesis states that seedling survival increases with distance from the parent tree, which promotes regular spacing of species within a forest and thus biodiversity. Very few studies have tested this hypothesis in tropical Africa. This paper evaluates the occurrence of Janzen-Connell effects for seedlings and adult trees of the species Cola cordifolia in a dry tropical forest

Credit Exposure Modelling Using Differential Machine Learning

Maskininlärning för att beräkna bankers risk Att banker har koll på sina risker är centralt för stabiliteten av den moderna globala ekonomin. Detta visar bankkriser gång på gång. En av riskerna som är ofrånkomlig för all bankverksamhet är kreditrisk – risken att handelspartners inte fullföljer betalningar. Detta examensarbete visar hur en aspekt av kreditrisk, exponering, kan modelleras med hjälpExposure modelling is a critical aspect of managing counterparty credit risk, and banks worldwide invest significant time and computational resources in this task. One approach to modelling exposure involves pricing trades with a counterparty in numerous potential future market scenarios. Suitable for this type of pricing is a framework presented in 2020 by Huge and Savine, which they call differe

Development and Evaluation of an Enzyme-Based Sunscreen

Ultraviolet radiation (UVR), specifically of UVA and UVB, has been associated with the development of both photoaging and photo-carcinogenesis, potentially leading to cancer. The use of sun protection in the form of UV filters is known to minimize these damages. By introducing an enzyme-based sunscreen for daily facial use these damages may be reduced while also providing exfoliation and hydration

Risker och möjligheter med mobiltelefonen

År 2007 släpptes världens första smartphone. Bara 16 år senare har näst intill varenda människa i Sverige en mobiltelefon i deras ficka. Sakta men säkert har mobiltelefonen blivit en del av vår vardag som ett av våra mest basala behov.

This master thesis aims to investigate how managers in two different types of businesses, namely born sustainable businesses and becoming sustainable businesses, manage sustainability. The study begins with a comprehensive literature review that explo

Hur gammal är jordens inre kärna?

Åldern för jordens inre kärna är en gåta som har förbryllat forskare i många decennier. Allt från en ålder lika hög som jordens magnetfält (mellan 3,5 och 4,2 Ga) i den ena änden, ner till 0,5 Ga i den andra änden. Eftersom den inre kärnan existerar på en fullkomligt oåtkomlig plats i jordens innersta centrum, medför detta självklara svårigheter när det kommer till direkta observationer (med seismThe age of the Earth's inner core is an enigma that has puzzled scientists for many decades. Everything from an age as high as the Earth's magnetic field (between 3.5 and 4.2 Ga) at one end, down to 0.5 Ga at the other end. Since the inner core exists in a completely inaccessible place in the innermost center of the Earth, this presents obvious difficulties when it comes to direct observat

Flexible Organizational Structures of the Digitally Mediated Collective Actor - A Case of the Shame Movement in Georgia

Recent scholarship has challenged the notion that digital tools alone can sustain a social movement, emphasizing instead the importance of collective identity and organizational structures. However, there is still limited understanding of how organizational structures emerge and transform in a social movement. This study argues that despite appearing chaotic or disorganized, collective actors poss

The accuracy of road distances in the Antonine itinerary

The Antonine itinerary was compiled in the early fourth century CE and is a key source to our know¬¬ledge about ancient geography and the Roman road system. However, the major research work dates more than 100 years back in time and few studies have been focussed on its overall reliability. The aim of the present work is to assess the accuracy of the distance figures in the itinerary by internal v

The Effects of Chemotherapy on B Cells and T Cells in Blood and Tumor Tissue in Patients with Pancreatic Cancer – from Diagnosis to Terminal Disease

En viss typ av immuncellsansamling i tumörer, så kallade tertiära lymfoida strukturer (TLS), hos patienter med bukspottkörtelcancer verkar inte alltid vara så gynnsamt som forskning tidigare visat. Förekomst av många TLS i tumören kunde i studien kopplas till kortare överlevnad och kan möjligen bero på att cellgiftsbehandling förändrar funktionen TLS. I denna studie studerades två typer av immuncPancreatic cancer (PC) is a devastating disease and is almost always synonymous with a poor outcome. Chemotherapy is the standard treatment and is administered in either an adjuvant or palliative setting. However, nearly all patients, regardless of treatment intent, eventually develop chemoresistance. Little is known about the events causing chemoresistance, but increased knowledge is essential fo
