Detta examensarbete ämnar att undersöka om och hur man skulle bygga en modell för att kunna beräkna utsläppen av växthusgaser vid förändringar av transmissionskapacitet. Arbetet avhandlar hur det nuvarande elsystemet är uppbyggt och påverkan på utsläppen av växthusgaser ifrån ökad produktion av förnyelsebar elproduktion och ökad transmission av elektricitet. Utifrån att studera vind- och lastdataIn the light of the importance of climate change and the emissions that have induced it, the ability to calculate the effect on emissions by changing transmission capacity is vital. A model to perform such indicative calculations is developed in this thesis. After researching how the current electricity system is organised, the effects on GHG emissions that are expected from increased renewable el
This paper examines discursive and performative strategies used by four feminist grassroot organizations in their struggle for free abortion in Chile. With the aim to analyse how the organizations articulate their political vision, I discuss different ways in which they challenge current criminalization on abortion. The empirical data was collected from the organization’s social media platforms an
This thesis sets out to give an insight in why Gucci’s entry level products are doing increasingly well nowadays and clarifies how it is connected to Gucci’s global presence in the digital world. It also stresses that millennials feel entitled to luxury, and therefore shop more of what they believe to be luxurious and fashionable products than what previous generations have done. Additionally, the

This thesis investigates the relationship between board composition and internationalisation in large U.S. consumer discretionary firms, using the foreign asset ratio as a measure of global engagement. Drawing on resource dependence, agency, contingency, and upper echelons theory, it explores the effects of board size, average age, tenure, and gender diversity and assesses how Porter’s Generic Str
Vi kan idag se en ökande urbanisering i världen, 2018 bodde 53% av jordens befolkning i städer, en siffra som väntas öka till 60% till år 2030. Samtidigt mänsklighetens utsläpp av växthusgaser gett upphov till ökade temperaturer, som i sin tur leder till förändrade nederbördsmönster, vilka manifesteras i form av bland annat extrema regn. Detta har lett till ett ökat behov av att göra städer mer håThere is an increasing urbanization taking place in the world today, in 2018, 53% of the global population lived in cities, a figure that is expected to rise to 60% by 2030. At the same time, anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gasses give rise to increasing temperatures, which in turn lead to changed precipitation patterns, which manifest in the form of extreme rain events among other phenomena
The primary functions of bogs and peatlands as major carbon reservoirs, together with their roles in hydrological regulation and biodiversity conservation, make them essential landscape features in the modern era. Consequently, it is important to investigate and understand the factors that affect these ecosystems in order to improve their preservation and restoration, thereby enabling them to cont
This thesis aims to extend the capital structure literature and identify the firm specific determinants of leverage within the automotive industry, filling a gap in the academic literature, and providing a base for future research. Panel data comprised of 29 global automotive companies over a 10-year period, 2008-2017, is used to run OLS regressions on three classifications of capital structure: t
Global liberal democracy is turning in on itself, both in terms of quality and quantity. Although instead of imploding due to a coup d’état, incremental erosion of democracy is the new norm. This is more commonly known as democratic backsliding and scholarly agreement points to polarization as an underlying cause. Since 2016 the U.S. democratic quality has significantly dropped, whilst polarizatio

The method used was to study, parts of, the written literature on the subject. What the writers of the essay found
Sea Level Rise (SLR) is a growing global concern that is heavily influenced by a warming climate. Because of a potentially large added mass to the ocean through ice melt, the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) plays an important role in the contribution to SLR. The presence of slush on Greenland is the result of melting processes and it can work as an indicator of surface mass balance (SMB) patterns on th
