Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka om företag som tar ett stort ansvar och aktivt jobbar med hållbar utveckling inom miljöfrågor har genererat en över- eller underavkastning jämfört med företag som inte har en lika tydlig strategi inom hållbar utveckling inom miljö. Uppsatsen utgår från en kvantitativ ansats där empirin bygger på insamlad historisk kursdata från utvalda aktier på StockholmsbörsIn the 1980s the term sustainable development was introduced and became, due to the UN report “our common future”, a wide spread concept. This and the awareness of the general public lead to the implementation of an extensive environmental policy within the Swedish legislation. Companies have different ways of approaching the policy regarding the environment; some do the bare minimum and others ha
The objective of this thesis is to investigate how public Swedish family firms managed to perform during the most recent recession that started in 2008. Accounting data is combined with information regarding ownership structure to examine family firms’ performance in comparison to non-family firms. Our evidence implies that family firms perform better in terms of operating performance (return on a

The method approach is quantitative and deductive and a multiple linear regression model analyzes the panel data. The theoretical framework consists of previous research on board compensation and theories such as agency theory, re
BACKGROUND: Obesity has been increasing in both developed and developing countries. One of the prevention strategies is controlling energy intake. The objective of this research was to examine the effects of four designed whole grain products, i.e. WG 100, WG 50/50, WG 50/50 + RS and KWWB, on colonic fermentation and appetite variables in healthy subjects.

Previous studies indicated that skylights can improve the daylight conditions in house or office buildings, decrease the electricity demand for lighting, provide natural ventilation and reduce the heating demand through passive solar heat gain exploitation. This thesis analyses the effect of skylights on the energy use, daylight conditions and thermal comfort in a classroom. The study is performed
Syftet med den här studien är att fördjupa förståelsen för chefskap i en icke-kunskapsintensiv organisation utifrån en könsdimension. Som ett medel för att uppnå detta använder sig studien av två hjälpfrågor: Hur pratar följare om chefskap? Hur utvärderar följare chefskap? Genom att analysera detta, är ambitionen att ge en fördjupad förståelse för chefskapets komplexitet. För att uppnå syftet med

The following work investigates the possibility of improving the structure of methylcellulose-containing vegan meat substitutes in terms of susceptibility to physical stress during handling at refrigerator and room temperatures. Attempts to combine the hot-setting gelling agent methylcellulose with another cold-setting hydrocolloid or starch were performed in order to create a structure that is ri
Den här uppsatsen undersöker gymnasieelevers förståelse av flerordsenheter, det vill säga idiomatiska uttryck och kollokationer, i läromedelstexter i samhällskunskap och historia på gymnasiet. Syftet är att undersöka ett antal flerordsenheter från läromedelstexterna för att se hur väl dessa uttryck förstås av elever som läser svenska som andraspråk 1, respektive svenska 1. Min hypotes är att det

It has been widely reported that coastal erosion causes problems worldwide. In order to solve these problems, breakwaters have been constructed in such regions. However, it is also a fact that breakwaters adversely affect the environment and scenery. To be able to prevent coastal erosion, while still preserving the environment and the view, submerged breakwaters have been introduced. However, subm
Entrepreneurship within Information and Communications Technology as a research area has been greatly researched in terms of access to society. Two examples are governance and accessibility. However, little research has been conducted about the perceptions of starting an enterprise within two different countries and how regulatory institutions influence entrepreneurs. This thesis aims for an under
Den aktuella studien genomfördes med hjälp av en internetenkät bestående av ett experiment där tiden det tog att läsa korta informationstexter mättes och jämfördes beroende på olika pronomen (han, hon, han/hon och det nya genusneutrala ordet hen). Den senare delen av studien bestod av instrument som syftade att mäta mediatorer gällande pronomens inverkan på läshastighet samt för att predicera deltThis study bases its results on an experiment measuring reading time for information texts in Swedish, where the pronouns were altered: he, she, he/she and hen - the new gender neutral pronoun. The experiment was conducted through an Internet survey, N=252. The survey furthermore consisted of instruments to capture mediators of the hypothesized differences between the pronoun conditions and to pre
In this thesis an optimization of a previously performed inclusive search for beyond Standard Model Physics in same-sign di-lepton final states is performed, but tuned for a doubly-charged Higgs boson decaying to same-sign di-muons. The doubly-charged Higgs boson is a proposed fundamental particle whose existence would provide evidence for theoretical extensions of the Standard Model (SM) of parti
