Denna uppsats undersöker statliga och privata bolag i Europeiska Unionen utifrån tre faktorer – lönsamhet, belåningsgrad och arbetsintensitet under tidsperioden 2012–2016. En tidsperiod som präglas utav en återhämtningsprocess efter en finanskris. Först, används en ensidig variansanalys för att undersöka skillnaderna mellan de statliga och de privata bolagen för de tre faktorerna. Sedan används enThis paper examines state-owned enterprises and private enterprises in the European Union by three factors - profitability, leverage and labor-intensity during the time period 2012-2016. A time period characterized by a process of recovery after a financial crisis. Firstly, a one-sided ANOVA is used to examine the differences between state-owned and private enterprises for the three factors. Then,

Production of risks has emerged as one dominating process of contemporary society, and consciousness towards risk is increasing continuously. Travelling being a common practice in today’s society suggests that also participation in travel entails increasing risk, and that risk perceptions are inevitable part of the tourism experience. Therefore, the study aims at finding out what kind of risk perc

Trap roads are a part of the Swedish railway facility and resembles the safest front- and side protection at speed above 160 km/h. When designing Trap roads, some regulations needs to be followed. As these, in some cases, may be contradictory towards each other, the planners become somewhat insecure. The purpose of the master thesis has thenceforth been to clarify for the planners, as well as to w

This study assess the climate consideration in building designs and aims to explore the extent of passive house performances in warm and humid climates. Previous studies have shown significant correlation between climate conscious building designs and meaningful improvements in indoor climate. The study uses a number of indices that are used to summarize indoor climatic parameters that describes h

The purpose of this thesis is to improve the current method of testing infrared lighting within Axis security cameras. The current method must be designed for each type of camera, is also large, unwieldy, and takes up a significant amount of floor space which could be better utilized. This will cut back testing and labor costs for the company, and will be more environmentally friendly in that less

The report is based on the use of alternative materials in road construction. The alternative materials included are crushed concrete, crushed asphalt and air cooled blast furnace slag. Differences and similarities exist between the use of alternative materials in Sweden and Denmark. Denmark has no use of air cooled blast furnace slag, but they have a greater use of crushed concrete and crushed as

The purpose of the thesis work is to investigate how contractors can involve environmental certification in the tender phase of a project and provide a basis for solutions to problems that may arise in environmental certification with CEEQUAL. CEEQUAL (The Civil Engineering Environmental Quality Assessment & Awards Scheme) is a certification system for assessing environmental issues and social

Optimal management of the commons to ensure sustainability relies on community management. Despite widespread knowledge of this, conventional wisdom is locked into how much the state should regulate the market. Free market ideology, defined as neoliberalism, promotes a culture of extreme competition and individualism which stand in contrast to the needed cultures of participation and inclusion for

Denna litteraturstudie syftar till att sammanfatta den prekambriska berggrunden och dess geologiska utveckling i norra Skåne. Studien bygger på tidigare publicerat material, primärt tre av SGU:s berggrundskartor: Af 127, 155 och 181. Dessa visar berggrunden i området nordost, sydväst och nordväst om Kristianstad. För att kunna sätta in denna berggrund i ett större sammanhang har även andra publikaThis literature study aims to summarize the Precambrian bedrock and its geological development in northern Scania. The study is based on previously published material, primarily three of SGU’s bedrock maps: Af 127, 155 and 181. These show the bedrock in the area northeast, southwest and northwest of Kristianstad. In order to place this bedrock in a broader context, other publications dealing with

Det svenska skogsbruket påverkar skogens biologiska mångfald Alla dessa kalhyggen vi ser när vi är ute och åker i vårt avlånga land. Förutom att de kanske inte är så estetiskt vackra finns också forskning som visar på att många arter har svårt att klara sig när man gör så stora störningar i naturen. Ur ekonomisk synvinkel är de förmodligen ganska bra, ur ekologisk synvinkel blir resultatet ett an80% of all forest in Sweden is considered to be in active use and since the mid 20th century, clear-cutting is the dominating forestry management method. The implication of clear-cutting is that large areas (up to 200 hectare) are being harvested at once and leaving bare ground as a result. The purpose of this master’s thesis was to compile the current knowledge about the effect of clear-cutting o

This study investigates the relationship between the two different payout policies, dividends and share repurchases, and firm value in the Swedish market. We aim to clarify how the lack of difference in taxation of dividends and capital gains in Sweden affects investors’ preferences for different payout policies and whether a certain payout policy incentivizes investor to pay extra for a firm that

The process of agricultural intensification in England has brought with it significant negative environmental and biodiversity impacts associated with large-scale land use change. The Common Agricultural Policy, implemented at the European Union level, has historically been a significant driver of this intensification, but has also introduced agri-environmental (AE) policies for managing these neg

This paper looks into how learning about firms and their dividend policy affects their valuation, while comparing the results between North American and German firms. Learning is observed through the age of a firm,where the market-to-book ratio (M/B) is predicted to decline over a firm’s lifespan. M/B is expected to be affected positively by the uncertainty of growth, and this effect is associated mor

Detta är en konstnärlig studie med syfte att undersöka publik och musikers upplevelser under en audiovisuell konsert, samt kompositionsprocessen i arbetet fram till konserten. Fyra audiovisuella stycken har komponerats till denna studie och sedan repats in av fem stycken musiker som medverkade under konserten. Musikerna fick samspela med interaktiva projektioner som ämnade att förstärka och kompleThis is an artistic study that aims to investigate the process of audiovisual composing and the experiences of musicians and audience of an audiovisual concert.

The aim of this thesis was to investigate how packages, both primary and secondary, behave under transportation. Before a full analysis of a pallet distribution can be fully understood the understanding of the separate packages is required. This thesis contributes with great knowledge and understanding of how a primary and secondary package behaves during top load compression. Tetra Pak is a globa
