Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka ifall en nedskrivning av goodwill har en signifikant påverkan på börsvärdet hos nordiska börsnoterade bolag. En kvantitativ metod användes med en deduktiv ansats för att studera syftet. Ett urval gjordes på de största nordiska börsnoterade bolagen med ett antal kriterier som resulterade i 75 företag under perioden 2016-2018 med totalt 225 observationer. Däreft

Problem Description: As reusable packaging is becoming increasingly popular, the already existing warehouses need t
Denna uppsats undersöker sambandet mellan kurering och vertikal integration i strömningstjänster på den svenska bokmarknaden. Det empiriska materialet består av en intervju med strömningstjänsten Storytel, intervjuer med tre svenska förlag samt extern kommunikation från BookBeat och Storytel. I uppsatsens empiriska material ingår även en kvantitativ granskning av innehållskureringen hos BookBeat o
Den här rapporten undersöker samt jämför det möjliga användandet av olika tillverkningsmetoder i produktionen av varianthålade plattor vid Alfa Lavals produktion i Lund. De tre metoderna är stansning med excenterpressar, abrasiv vattenskärning och laserskärning, där de två förstnämnda används i Alfa Lavals produktion i dagsläget. Syftet med projektet är att förkorta ledtider, genom att hitta en meThis report investigates and compares the possible use of different manufacturing methods in production of odd-holed plates at Alfa Laval’s site in Lund. The three methods are punching with eccentric presses, abrasive water jet cutting and laser cutting, with the first two being used currently at Alfa Laval. The aim of the project is to shorten the lead times, by finding a method that is efficient
Anställdas välbefinnande är betydelsefullt för organisationens produktivitet och effektivitet. Arbetets takt och karaktär förändras till följd av förhöjda krav och riskfaktorer, vilket utmanar anställdas hälsa och välbefinnande. Tidigare forskning har undersökt hur KASAM, krav-kontroll-stöd-modellen och kulturella dimensioner påverkar medarbetares upplevda välbefinnande. Dessvärre finns det lite f
Introduction: Wood packaging consumes over twenty percent of industrial timber harvests in the United States. Organised reuse of wood packaging can reduce timber consumption but is not widely practised. Existing research on circular wood packaging systems is limited in scope, focusing on individual design and process interventions at the firm level. This thesis constitutes a novel investigation o
In this project, a neutron delivery system for the study of free neutron oscillations at the HIBEAM beamline at the European Spallation Source (ESS) has been developed. The HIBEAM experiment is part of a two-stage program at ESS which will address open questions in physics; specifically the nature of dark matter and the observed asymmetry between matter and antimatter in the Universe. This will be
This thesis aims to evaluate the performance of Siemens’ High Level Synthesis (HLS) tool Catapult. HLS can be considered the next step up in abstraction level from writing traditional Register Transfer Level (RTL) code which is time consuming and error prone. The promise of HLS is to speed up the process of designing integrated circuits by lifting the abstraction level so the design can be coded f
Arbetstagare och deras arbetsmiljö är ett ständigt aktuellt ämne som diskuteras i olika sammanhang. Det framkommer också dystra bilder vilka signalerar undermålig arbetsmiljö runt om på en del av landets arbetsplatser. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka arbetstagares upplevelser och dess betydelse för arbetsmiljöarbetet. Mot bakgrund av det ställs frågor kring vad som påverkar arbetstagares
The academic interest in remote work has drastically increased over recent years, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Existing studies have proven that remote work has advantages and disadvantages for employers and employees. However, little is known about the influence of remote work and the relevant factors in the context of newcomers and their organizational socialization. Building on th
In recent years, Swedish municipalities have introduced programs that combine Swedish language education with vocational training. However, due to the novelty and lack of an established framework, data and research on their effectiveness in improving immigrant labour market performance is limited. This essay addresses this gap by estimating the causal effect of vocational training combined with Sw
This research investigates the gender dimension of the impacts of access to clean and modern energy and technology in productive uses of energy. Rural organizations led by women supported by the EnDev project Bolivia were selected for a multi-site case study. This project aims to facilitate clean and modern energy access, create and strengthen rural markets, and alleviate poverty. The energy justi
Voluntourism is often described as a sustainable development strategy facilitating Global Learning and cross-cultural exchange. Initiated by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), the voluntourism program Weltwärts strives to create stronger international partnerships, development engagement, and equitable encounters. The practice of voluntourism is contested,
Examensarbetet fokuserar på utvärdering samt testning av FLEXNET, ett Unattended Ground Sensor (UGS) system utvecklat av Bertin Exensor. FLEXNET:s grund-läggande syfte är att övervaka stora områden utan att kräva omfattande resurser i form av personal som aktivt övervakar och underhåller systemet på plats. Vid utvecklandet av större system kan det ofta vara besvärligt att utföra fullskaliga testThe thesis focuses on the evaluation and testing of FLEXNET, an Unattended Ground Sensor (UGS) system developed by Bertin Exensor. The primary purpose of FLEXNET is to monitor large areas without requiring extensive resources in the form of personnel actively monitoring and maintaining the system on site. In the development of comprehensive systems it can often be challenging to carry out full-sc
This research aims to examine the effects of interference and context presentation during the retrieval of encoded information which was encoded in a dynamic context. To examine this, we conducted two experiments where there was a presentation of information where half of the overall encoded information shared a constituent with information that was encoded in another context. The remaining half o
Purpose: investigate in which ways sustainable development in Swedish schools is constructed as a wicked problem. Research Question: How is sustainable development constructed as a wicked problem in Swedish educational contexts? Methodology: A qualitative study approach was implemented where 20 semi-structured interviews were used for data collection. The data analysis followed the process of sort
Delaktighet och inflytande i mitt liv är ledorden i lagen om stöd och service till vissa funktionshindrade (LSS-lagen). 1994 trädde lagen om stöd och service till vissa funktionshindrade (1993:387) i kraft. Lagen om stöd och service till vissa funktionshindrade är en pluslag, med det menas att den individ som har stöd i lagen om stöd och service till vissa funktionshindrade får inskränka på de rät
The research aims to investigate and identify private digital primary healthcare usage patterns, introduced in Sweden in early 2016. The research has been limited to LUSEM bachelor students and its financial implications for the region of Skåne. The research takes a quantitative approach by using an online survey. Further, the study aims to provide insights into the region’s finances and incentivi
The Circular Economy (CE) has gained global recognition as a way to enable sustainability improvements in production and consumption systems. Numerous circularity indicators (c-indicators) have been developed by academia and practitioners to be used at the company level as analytical tools to measure progress towards a more circular economy. Nevertheless, there is a lack of empirical evidence on t
Purpose: The purpose of the study is to gain an understanding of how Swedish millennials perceive the image of luxury textile brands that have always relied on animal leather and now are introducing plant-based vegan leather textiles. Methodology/Empirical data: The study is based on the foundation of social constructionism philosophy. A qualitative research design is followed in the present stud
