Theoretical framework: The theoretical framework is a decision-making process model, illustratin

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to gain a deeper understanding of how MaaS business models can be designed and configured. Theoretical Perspective: The theoretical perspective is provided by a preliminary framework which consists of a synthesis between Business model theory and MaaS literature. Methodology: A qualitative single case study was employed with an abductive research approach. E

Purpose and research question: The purpose of this study is to investigate whether an improved ESG performance leads to a lower cost of debt, proxied by the yield spread of newly issued corporate bonds and if this effect is more pronounced for firms operating in a stronger institutional environment. We therefore ask the following two research questions: Does a higher ESG score lead to a lower cost

En ökad kunskap och medvetenhet i vården och i samhället om palliativa vårdbehov skulle ge våra medborgare en bättre och tryggare tillvaro i livets slutskede.I den vård som bedrivs när livet närmar sig sitt slut saknas ofta – planering för vården i livets slutskede trots multisjuklighet och hög ålder– brytpunktssamtal eller informerande samtal med närstående – dokumentation av patienters behov, ön

Context. Cool stars, such as M giants, can only be analyzed in the near-infrared (NIR) regime due to the ubiquitous titanium oxide features in optical spectra of stars with Teff

The study of the movement of ‘things’ — the exchange of objects as gifts or through trade, the itineraries that they followed when on the move, and their changing importance from location to location — can offer unique insights into our understanding of past societies; and archaeology plays a vital role in allowing such movements to be traced. Nonetheless the circulation of objects across time, an

This thesis delves into the emerging field of virtual photography, an artistic form seamlessly integrated into the digital landscapes of video games. Investigating the intricate relationship between the virtual and the tangible, the study meticulously analyzes in-game photographs to unveil the subtleties often overlooked, decoding implied meanings. These visuals are meticulously crafted within the

This study examines the views of stakeholders involved in house renovations regarding the one-stop-shop business concept innovation, and assesses their level of preparedness to adopt such a concept in order to enter the promising market of detached house renovations. The investigation is based on 25 interviews with construction SMEs owners, real estate agents and loan consultants, and on a concept

Food loss and waste are major issues in the food industry, and they affect all stages of the food supply chain (FSC). Food loss and waste are linked to environmental deterioration, economic loss, and an increase in hunger. Therefore, the food industry requires sustainable consumption and production (SCP) to reduce losses and waste. The circular economy (CE) concept has become a popular strategy fo

Aging of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) is characterized by lineage bias, increased clonal expansion, and functional decrease. At the molecular level, aged HSCs typically display metabolic dysregulation, upregulation of inflammatory pathways, and downregulation of DNA repair pathways. Cellular aging of HSCs, driven by cell-intrinsic and cell-extrinsic factors, causes a predisposition to anemia, a

Hanteringen av jordbruksmark vid lantmäteriförrättningar Att utöka gräsmattan genom att köpa till lite åkermark från grannbonden eller att dela upp familjegården inför generationsskiftet kan framstå som en enkel sak men skulle det i själva verket kunna riskera Sveriges livsmedelsförsörjning? När jordbruksmark ska hanteras i samband med fastighetsbildning finns bestämmelser som ska skydda allmänheThe protection of farmland in property formation relies heavily on one part of the Swedish property formation law, 3 kap. 6 § fastighetsbildningslagen. The overall purpose of this specific law is to secure the national food supply of Sweden but in reality it is only effective regarding the very large agricultural properties which leaves a lot of the actual farmland without protection. As a result

Food Logistics 4.0 is a term derived from Industry 4.0 focusing on all the aspects of food logistics management based on cyber-physical systems. It states that real-time information and the interconnectivity of things, supplemented with novel technologies will revolutionise and improve the way food logistics is carried out. It has tremendous potential in terms of bringing transparency, swift deliv

High-grade gastroenteropancreatic (HG-GEP) neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are highly aggressive cancers. The molecular etiology of these tumors remains unclear, and the prevalence of pathogenic germline variants in patients with HG-GEP NENs is unknown. We assessed sequencing data of 360 cancer genes in normal tissue from 240 patients with HG-GEP NENs; 198 patients with neuroendocrine carcinomas (

SAR images are important data for observing the earth in all weather conditions. But the speckle noise contaminated the SAR images, obstructs their application. Speckle noise is primarily due to the phase fluctuations of the electromagnetic return signals. In this paper, we investigate the effect of speckles on the change detection result. Two cost functions are used in our change detection algori

Background: III-V semiconductor nanowires are envisioned as being integrated in optoelectronic devices in the near future. However, the perspective of mass production of these nanowires raises concern for human safety due to their asbestos- and carbon nanotube-like properties, including their high aspect ratio shape. Indeed, III-V nanowires have similar dimensions as Mitsui-7 multi-walled carbon n

THE LITTLE STINT Calidris minuta is an Arctic wader species that migrates through the Baltic Sea region towards wintering areas in North and West Africa and the Mediterranean region. We use a 75-year trapping series, comprising 4,791 Little Stints on autumn migration, from Ottenby Bird Observatory in Sweden to illustrate long-term trends in abundance, phenology, and morphometrics. Numbers of trapp

Relating to the ongoing discussion surrounding criticism and support for ESG scores, the purpose of this paper anchors itself in providing comprehensive, empirical evidence regarding the responsiveness of ESG scores to firm actions. The different strategic choices of multinational firms, resulting from political and stakeholder pressure, were to either fully withdraw, suspend or continue operation

Purpose: The objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between institutional ownership and firm innovation in a Swedish and contemporary context. Theoretical framework: The theoretical framework underlying this study is primarily based on the myopic institutions theory, which suggests that institutional investors have an inherent short-term focus that influences their attitude to
