Vad är värden egentligen, och hur skapas värderingar? Uppsatsen analyserar hur värdeskapande och värderingar uttrycks på Deventer AB, ett mindre IT-bolag i Malmö. Genom att applicera Bourdieus kapitalbegrepp på företagets interna dialoger samt på de anställdas maner visar uppsatsen hur fler dimensioner av sociala strukturer kan tydliggöras inom företaget. Studien visar även att de individuella vär
Social startup wanting to broaden their impact on society needs to move towards a mass market, something that may require an adaptation of its identity. By adapting the identity it can be seen as untrustworthy and unreliable. The choice is to either limit the good it can do for the world, or sacrifice the foundation of what the startup is. The purpose of the study is to create an understanding of
This thesis is a case study of how women's identities are made salient and marginalised in the FeesMustFall (FMF) movement in Cape Town, South Africa, and how this has played into their engagement with the movement. Thus, this study is centred around the perceived tension between essentialising identities and accommodating intersectionality within the FMF movement. An intra-categorical approa

The German transition to renewable energies has so far been an example of a successful energy transition of a major economy. Even though this transition is criticized for being only a half-hearted solution, it is an important example of the attempt of a major economy to transit towards renewable energies and is therefore worth studying in its own rights. Thus, my aim in this thesis is the identifi
Coffee leaf rust (Hemileia vastatrix) is a patogen currently threatening sustainable coffee production all across the world where coffee is grown. Yield losses can reach up to 50 % of the production in Brazil and primarily affect regions at low altitude. Costs associated with the rust has been estimated to 616 million USD from 2012-2014 in Central America. Thus, the purpose of this study was to ev
Entreprenadrätten i Sverige är ett rättsområde som i dagsläget saknar lagstiftning. Med tanke på entreprenadssektorns betydelse för svensk välfärd kan detta vara förvånansvärt. Det huvudsakliga regelverket som finns på området är standardavtalet AB 04 vilket är regelverket för utförandeentreprenader. AB 04 är utformat av byggandets kontaktkommitté som utsetts av Svenska Teknologföreningen. Denna kThe construction law in Sweden is a field of rights which is currently lacking in legislation. Considering the importance of the construction sector in Swedish welfare, this may seem surprising. The construction agreement is unique in the sense that the buyer possesses an authority to change, in a certain extent, contract content. Therefore, contributing to the buyer having the right to stipulate
The purpose of this paper is to understand how the identity creation has been formed among second generation immigrants with backgrounds from Asia and Africa, based on their experiences and society's view of "Swedishness". Our choice was the second-generation youths from Stockholm between the ages of 18-30 with roots in Asia and Africa. The study was conducted by the help of intervie
Sedan finanskrisen 2007 har reporäntan nått rekordlåga nivåer, både i Sverige och i omvärlden. Räntan har därefter varit ett fortsatt aktuellt ämne och den reala räntan har varit föremål för flertal empiriska studier. Realräntan har sjunkit kraftigt sedan 1980-tales höga nivåer, vilket innebär att även den neutrala jämviktsräntan har minskat enligt bland annat Konjunkturinstitutet och Sveriges Rik
In this thesis, we use Bloomberg data to compute a metric developed by Bhattacharya & Galpin (2011) to examine the popularity of value-weighting on the Swedish stock exchange. After analyzing our data, we reach three conclusions in documenting that: (1) Value- weighting is becoming more popular over time. (2) Value-weighting is more popular on the OMXS30 than on the market as a whole (the OMXS
This thesis is set out to examine the risk-adjusted performance impact of including Bitcoin in a Swedish investor’s portfolio, how the allocation of a Swedish investor’s portfolio changes by the inclusion of Bitcoin, and if Bitcoin should be part of a Swedish investor’s portfolio under pessimistic views. To examine these questions, we use the Sharpe ratio, Sortino ratio, Omega ratio and the Black-
In this paper, I study the legal works behind the two-year experiment with basic income in Finland from the first of January 2017. With a neo-Marxists feministic theoretical framework based on the work of the political scientist Kathi Weeks and the concept postwork politics; I aim to see if the experiment with basic income in Finland could be a part of a larger feministic project. By using the new
Background: Current consumption levels of animal products (APs) are unsustainable but measures to reduce their consumption are lacking. Simultaneously, APs are widely perceived as healthy which hinders their substitution with other foods. The AP-industry might influence AP consumption as they have the necessary financial means, the interest and the organizational capacity. Objective: To investiga
Today, waste water treatment plants do not remove pharmaceutical residues from the water (as there are currently no regulations for wastewater treatment in regards to pharmaceuticals residues in Sweden) resulting in a high concentration of pharmaceuticals reaching the environment. The Swedish environmental protection agency have recently concluded that there is a need for advanced treatment of pha
Denna uppsats undersöker om och i vilken utsträckning mobila betaltjänster påverkar ekonomisk tillväxt. Med grund i tidigare forskning finns stöd för att spridning av mobila betaltjänster har en positiv påverkan på ekonomisk tillväxt, men en lämplig tillväxtmodell saknas. Uppsatsens frågeställning är: Har en ökad spridning av mobila betaltjänster en påverkan på ett lands långsiktiga ekonomiska til
While there is a housing shortage in Sweden the global warming continues across the globe, according to IPCC. In order to lessen the global warming sustainable development is needed. Sustainable buildings are a part of the goal to achieve sustainable development within the building industry. “God bebyggd miljö” is one of the environmental quality goals in Sweden. SGBC works actively toward this go
Bakgrund Inledningsvis presenteras en redogörelse för detaljhandelns utveckling ur ett företagsperspektiv. Två av forskningsfältets framträdande teorier presenteras. Att fysisk detaljhandel är påväg att konkurreras ut av e-handelns framfart eller att den fysiska butiken behövs som komplement till en digital försäljningskanal för att addera en ytterligare dimension. Syfte Syftet med uppsatsen är
After the General Court’s (GC) decision in case T-472/13 H. Lundbeck A/S and Lundbeck Ltd v Commission it seems the concept of potential competition in the context of so-called ‘pay-for-delay’ agreements, or reverse patent settlements, might have been altered; that the bar in order for an undertaking to qualify as a potential competitor might have been lowered. This thesis aims to examine whether
The essence of cloud computing is about moving workloads from your local IT infrastructure to a data center that scales and provides resources at a moments notice. Using a pay-as-you-go model to rent virtual infrastructure is also known as a Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) offering. This helps consumers provision hardware on-demand without the need for physical infrastructure and the challenges
Kranskärlskirurgi och klaffkirurgi är några av de vanligaste kirurgiska interventionerna som görs världen över, och tillämpas oftast genom öppen hjärtkirurgi. Studier har visat att en stor del av patienterna som genomgått öppen hjärtkirurgi besväras av långvariga smärtor postoperativt som kan relateras till operationen. Syftet med föreliggande studie var att undersöka eventuella samband mellan utv
