Today, investors look for more than just the potential return a company can bring when making investment decisions. An increased demand to invest sustainably has created a demand for investors to screen companies via ESG scores. In this thesis, we therefore aim to examine if Bloomberg’s ESG disclosure scores can be used as screening tools and proxies for the most common risk and return measures, v

De första idéerna om hur planeterna i solsystemet bildades härstammar från den franske filosifen René Descartes på 1600-talet. Vad räknas solsystemet som - är denna teori bara kring planeterna eller hela solsystemet och dess komponenter?) Den teori som forskare tror på idag kan spåra sitt ursprung till mitten av 1700-talet, från den svenske forskaren Emanuel Swedenborg och den tyske filosofen ImmaA star forms with a surrounding protoplanetary disk after the collapse of a molecular cloud core. Subsequently, over a period of several Myr this protoplanetary disk of dust and gas is accreted onto the host star. We model the formation and evolution of such a protoplanetary disk using a one-dimensional numerical model. We find that disks form on a time scale of less than 1 Myr and that the size a

Denna uppsats undersöker vad praktiker, det vill säga utvecklare, konsulter och användare som arbetar med Self-Service Business Intelligence (SSBI), anser är SSBI. Praktikers beskrivning av SSBI diskuteras i förhållande till litteraturens beskrivning. Både praktiker och litteratur diskuterar SSBI som ett visualiseringsverktyg, men praktiker beskriver vidare att det inte är begränsat till en viss t

Bakgrund: Handen är människans viktigaste redskap. Efter en nervavskärning i handledsnivå skadas både rörelse- och känselförmåga i handen vilket påverkar individens aktiviteter i vardagen. Arbetsterapeuter genomför tidig känselträning som är viktigt för att återfå känselförmåga i handen. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att jämföra och utvärdera olika bilder för användning i tidig känselträning. MetoBackground: The hand is humans’ most important tool. After a nerve injury at wrist level, both movement and sensory abilities of the hand are damaged, affecting the individual´s everyday activities. Occupational therapists conduct early sensory relearning which is important to regain sensory abilities. Aim: The aim was to compare and evaluate different images for use in early sensory relearning. M

Bakgrund: Arbetsterapeuter och deras arbete i skolor i Sverige efterfrågas mer och mer men kunskapen kring hur arbetet upplevs och beskrivs är ett förhållandevis outforskat område. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att beskriva arbetsterapeuters arbete i skola samt hur detta upplevdes av arbetsterapeuter och andra yrkesverksamma i skola. Metod: Studien var en kvalitativ tvärsnittsstudie. Nio semistruBackground: Occupational therapists and their work in schools are being inquired for more and more in Sweden but the knowledge around how their work are perceived and described are a relatively unexplored area. Aim: The aim of the study was to describe the work of occupational therapists in school, as well how this is experienced by occupational therapists and other professions in schools. Method:

Urban bosättning är vanligt i dagens samhälle och en övervägande andel av befolkningen bor i lägenheter, där ljudisolering är en viktig aspekt rörande trivseln i bostaden. Användning av smartmobiler för akustiska mätningar blir allt vanligare, men inget enkelt verktyg finns idag för att mäta och räkna ut reduktionstalet. För att räkna ut reduktionstalet behövs ljudtrycksnivå, bakgrundsljud och efUrban dwelling is common in our society today and a considerable portion of the population reside in apartment buildings, making sound insulation an important aspect regarding the comfort of urban living. While using smartphones for acoustic measurements is becoming more and more common, there is an absence of a simple tool for measuring sound reduction index. Sound reduction index is a measuremen

Tissue-mimicking phantoms are of great interest in the development of bio-medical applications. Instead of applying to biological tissues directly, phantoms enable stable and easy accessibility to validate spectroscopy systems and measuring processes. This thesis project is centered on the development and characterization of phantoms. The interaction between light and biological tissue is mainly

From a reputation of an industrial and trading city, Aalborg has changed into a contemporary university city, with a strong development of creative clusters in knowledge-based industries. Nowadays the Vækstaksen, an urban growth axis set by the municipality, has become the driving force in the city’s development to avoid further sprawl. A great part of East Aalborg belongs to this axis and is curr

The legal paradox. Which factors are decisive in honour-related cases for compulsory care of young persons?

The municipal social service is obliged to help and support all people who become victims of violence. Yet, several municipalities in Sweden have been criticized for their

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka det potentiella sambandet mellan studenters upplevda anställningsbarhet och deras attityder gentemot artificiell intelligens. Detta område är av intresse att undersöka av flera skäl, särskilt eftersom artificiell intelligens är ett fenomen som i dagsläget är väldigt omtalat. Artificiell intelligens kan uppfattas som ett potentiellt hot, men även som en möjThe purpose of this study was to investigate the potential relationship between students’ perceived employability and their attitudes towards artificial intelligence. This area is of interest to study due to several reasons, particularly because artificial intelligence is a phenomenon which has gained substantial attention lately. Furthermore, artificial intelligence may be seen as a potential thr

Denna uppsats syfte är att analysera utvecklingen av Socialdemokraternas retorik i kriminalpolitiska frågor genom att placera den i en historisk kontext. Arbetet bygger på en studie av partiets valmanifest under perioden 1970-2018. Genom en metodkombination av en kvantitativ innehållsanalys och en kvalitativ begreppshistorisk analys jämförs användningen av de fem utvalda nyckelbegreppen ”straff”,

The purpose of this study was to examine social workers experiences of the work with a child perspective when dealing with financial aid. A qualitative study with four semi-structured interviews with social workers was performed. The sample was made through purposive sampling of social workers in the department of financial aid in different municipalities in northwest Skåne. The results of the int

Syftet med studien var att undersöka och få en fördjupad förståelse för hur internrekryterade chefer upplever att bli chef för tidigare arbetskamrater, och få en ökad insikt i de utmaningar som kan uppstå i samband med detta. Som metod användes en kvalitativ ansats varpå tio semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes. För att analysera intervjumaterialet användes tematisk analys, vilket resulterade The aim of the study was to examine and gain a more in-depth understanding of bosses’ experience regarding internal promotion and becoming the boss for previous work colleagues, as well as gaining more thorough insight regarding the challenges that may occur. A qualitative approach was used in this study, and ten semi-structured interviews were conducted. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the

En våtmarks kapacitet – går det att optimera en våtmark för att minska såväl eutrofiering som brunifiering? Att använda en våtmark i syfte att minska såväl övergödning som brun missfärgning av vattendrag, är absolut möjligt, men hur och varför är frågor som behöver studeras mer grundligt. Däremot verkar placeringen i landet i kombination med våtmarkens procentuella storlek i förhållande till avrDue to changes in land use, as well as impacts from the climate change, our inland waters are now exposed to problems such as eutrophication and brownification. This complicates management to develop clean drinking water, as well as it leads to anoxic bottoms and reduces primary production. This literature review aims to see if wetlands can work as a natural filter to reduce both nutrients (nitrog
