This thesis examines the practices and challenges of a sole management of a cultural enterprise by studying the case of Cadence Gallery and its founder Elsa, a cultural entrepreneur who solely established and manages a non-profit art gallery in Sweden. The qualitative research is based on semi-structured interviews with the entrepreneur and other individuals involved in the gallery's operation

This study aims to examine whether there is a greenium on corporate green bonds in the Nordic market and to explore the impact of industries' carbon emission level characteristics on the greenium. The study is made using a quantitative method with a deductive approach. The methodical procedure is based on a matching process, followed by a t-test and cross-section regression. The empirical find

Transitioning away from fossil fuels is prominent to stay within the 1.5-degree limit outlined in the Paris Agreement. For this to occur, the socio-technical energy system needs to become more flexible and support decentralized systems. One way to do this, as advocated by the European Union as well, is to support local energy initiatives. This paper examines how different local energy initiatives

As the problem of memory-safety continues to pose a significant threat to the software ecosystem, developers need to consider strategies to address these vul- nerabilities. For high-performing applications built on the C/C++ programming languages, solutions have to be easy to adapt without compromising too much on performance. In this thesis, high-performing 5G software is evaluated using the CHER

This study aims to problematise food assistance mechanisms in Lithuania in response to rising food insecurity, challenging the prevailing discourse surrounding food (in)security. Using interviews and document analysis within a case study methodology, the research addresses three main questions: How is food insecurity problematised in the Lithuanian state and charity discourse? How does this proble

Det här examensarbetet har handlat om att ta fram en IoT-lösning för Eltech Automations HiFlex-system, som är en standardprodukt med robot, PLC och HMI i samma produkt. Målet med arbetet var att ta fram en lösning för att kunna skicka data från PLC, via en gateway, till en molntjänst för att sedan kunna hämtas och ses av operatörer eller andra användare av HiFlex på en webbsida. Datan som skulle v

This thesis project aims to research the opportunities and challenges of development projects that integrate climate change adaptation (CCA) with youth empowerment in the rural community of Rangtse, Haa Dzongkhag in Bhutan. A vulnerability assessment was conducted by analyzing the exposure, sensitivity, and resilience of the Rangtse area to climate change through the dimensions of Gross National H

This study attempts to unravel the stock market participation puzzle. It approaches the puzzle with the idea that access to information reduces entry costs and, hence, encourages stock market participation. The literature suggests that information dissemination occurs through social interaction. Therefore, higher social engagement increases the odds of stock market participation. This study questi

Purpose: To investigate the relationship between ESG-linked executive compensation and the performance of Nordic publicly listed companies in terms of both ESG and financial metrics. Methodology: The econometric approach utilized in this study involves fixed effects panel regressions. The regressions use ESG scores and financial performance metrics as dependent variables, with ESG-linked executiv

This bachelor's thesis explores how users engage with political content on TikTok concerning monetized filters to the benefit of Palestine. It also investigates the role TikTok may play in facilitating political mobilization and advocacy, as well as how users leverage the platform to organize, collaborate, and amplify their voices around political issues. The two main methods of research are n

Replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy sources, such as offshore wind, is crucial to mitigating climate change. The ambitious federal targets on offshore wind set by the United States’s (US) Biden Administration will, however, increasingly impact the 129 million citizens living within local communities in coastal regions. Achieving social acceptance is therefore critical to reaching the US’

This text is a qualitative study based on six interviews with women who have been surrogates in Denmark under the legal altruistic surrogacy model, which means that women may not receive money for being surrogates and that surrogacy may only take place through the so-called nærhedsprincip, where the parties must be in close relationships (family, close friends, etc.). Their experience of being sur

This thesis investigates the time-varying relationship between inflation and money supply using a state space model. We use an extensive dataset with data over the years 1870-2023 and analyze the countries Sweden, the United States, and the United Kingdom. The results show that the link between money supply and inflation seems to depend on the underlying inflationary and monetary regime. During pe

Forests which form a central part in climate change mitigation strategy of Sweden and as precipitation patterns shift and temperatures rise, understanding the responses of forests to these shifts becomes of paramount importance. Automatic high resolution dendrometers have allowed for the continuous measurement of tree radial stem growth and water dynamics, allowing for the forcings of meteorologic

This paper explores the role of the Swedish central bank in relation to the profitability of commercial banks. Utilizing local projection analysis, we examine the effect of policy rate and quantitative easing shocks from 2000 to 2023. Our study yields nuanced findings compared to the existing literature. In contrast to earlier studies, our findings indicate a negative effect of the policy rate on

Östersjön har många stressfaktorer som påverkar den, såsom övergödning, syrebrist i vattnet och föroreningar. Stressfaktorerna skapas av eller förstärkas av antropogen påverkan. Sedan industrialiseringen har den antropogena påverkan påskyndats och ökat många av stressfaktorerna. Intresseområdet för detta arbete är Bornholmsgattet, det är vattenområdet mellan Sverige och ön Bornholm. Anledningen tiMultiple stressors affect the Baltic Sea, such as eutrophication, deoxygenated water and pollution. Almost all stres- sors are heightened or caused by anthropogenic impact. The stressors effect has increased since the beginning of the industrialisation and increased many of the stressors. The area of interest for this thesis is Bornholmsgattet, an area located between Sweden and the Island of Bor
