In this thesis, I attempt to categorize variable stars found with the OGLE telescope with the main aim being to find binaries containing white dwarfs. To do this, I combine light curve data from the OGLE telescope with data from the large Gaia EDR3 catalogue and a recently published 3-dimensional extinction map to gather the colour and absolute magnitude of the binary stars. Lastly, I use an artif

Dagens alltmer retributiva kriminalpolitik utgör en bakgrund till att medling vid brott för unga lagöverträdare har identifierats som ett ämne som är värt att undersöka närmare. Studiens syfte är att belysa hur medlare i Skåne beskriver och uppfattar medlingens praktik, med fokus på de hinder som medlingsverksamheten står inför och som tycks begränsa dess potential. Empirin består av sex intervjue

In early 2024, the UN reported that we need to consume less to save the climate and achieve the global sustainability goals. Since the fashion industry is driven by consumption, this essay explores how the Swedish fashion industry communicates when it comes to consumption. By analyzing consumption discourses in the sustainability reports of three Swedish fashion companies, this essay examines whet

This study investigates the creation of economic value within the Product Life Extension (PLE) business model, focusing on how specific product categories and characteristics impact the retention of value and revenue streams of PLE firms. Using Godsinlösen AB as a case study, the research quantitatively examines sales data to explore the retention of product value and consumer preferences for reus

This study examines the sustainability reporting practices of firms in Italy (mandatory disclosure) and China (voluntary disclosure). Using a qualitative descriptive design and content analysis with NVivo, the sustainability reports of large manufacturing companies with high ESG ratings from both countries are analyzed based on GRI guidelines. Institutional theory is applied to understand the infl

This thesis strives to investigate and make sense of the complex regulations surrounding the availability of exploitable land along bodies of water in Sweden. With the Shore Protection regulations found in the Swedish Environmental Code it becomes apparent that most sought after land along the sea, lakes and running water for planning and construction in accordance to the Planning and Building Act

Samhällets digitalisering har medfört en accelererande omsättning och användning av datorer i skolan. Den hastiga utvecklingen har gjort att forskningen inte har kunnat hålla jämna steg med den digitaliserade undervisningspraktiken, däribland övergången från lärares användande av traditionella läroböcker till digitala läromedel. Examensarbetet syftar därför till att öka förståelsen för hur gymnasi

The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of family ownership, the CEO's role, and the chairman's position on ESG decoupling in Swedish firms during the years 2016-2022. The study aims to provide insights into the complexities of ESG decoupling within family-owned companies and contribute to the understanding of sustainability efforts in these specific ownership structures.

Magnetresonanstomografi (MR) är en vanlig medicinsk bildteknik som tydligt framhäver små strukturer i kroppen utan att använda joniserande strålning. Ångest och oro hos patienter är vanliga orsaker till att MR-undersökningar avbryts eller blir inställda. Detta är negativt för både patientens vårdförlopp och för röntgenverksamheten. Därför är det viktigt att röntgensjuksköterskor har kunskap om oli

This thesis examines the acquisition of Japanese vocabulary by Swedish L1 speakers learning Japanese as a second language, and how well their proficiency, acquired through formal education in Sweden, aligns with the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) standards. The study also compares the recognition rates of different types of word classes such as nouns, adjectives, and verbs across variou

This study aims to present a protocol for pH determination in biomolecular NMR samples by evaluating the pH dependence of chemical shifts in the most commonly reported buffer molecules in the BioMagResBank (BMRB). Whilst there exists multiple methods and protocols for intrinsic NMR pH determination and various molecules have been proposed as pH indicators, there is no method to determine the actua

Title: Estimating the Impact of ESG scores on Firm Value and Cost of Capital - A Quantitative Study Across European Firms Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) scores on firm value and cost of capital across various market capitalizations, with a focus on small, mid, and large cap companies in the European Union. Methodology:

In the 21 century many post industrial cities have converted their former areas into cultural areas with entertainment areas, cultural schools and museums. The city of Malmö has transformed itself into a city of culture and it uses its place brand to compete for tourists, inhabitants, businesses and labor with other cities. The purpose with this paper is to find out how culture is included in the

In a time where increased crime consistently dominates the political agenda and the population is continually reminded of acts of violence and shootings, a new legislative proposal regarding surveillance raises not only suspicion of wrongdoing, but questions regarding integrity. From a socio-legal perspective, concepts such as hegemony can elucidate how the state formulates and justifies laws and

Machine calibration is important for optimal performance throughout the lifespan of industrial processes. A prime example is the pick-and-place process, where robots must manipulate objects accurately. Currently, this process is manually calibrated, which can be a complex practice. This thesis studies a software-based approach to error detection within the process, aiming to reduce the need for ma

The use of antenna arrays allows for direction-of-arrival (DoA) estimation in a radar system. The antenna elements in an array are conventionally positioned equidistantly on a grid, but they can also be placed relatively freely to form sparse antenna arrays. These non-conventional layouts could potentially offer improved DoA capabilities. In this work, a particle swarm optimization algorithm has b
