Hence the authors seek to contribute to existing literature around IPOs and information asymmetry, furthermore to examine if it is possible to minimize your losses and improve the investors return duri

Akustisk infånging - en lovande teknik för cellprocessering Blod är ett av de främsta verktygen en läkare har för att utvinna information om en persons hälsa. För att kunna ta del av denna information måste dock blodprovet först processeras. Detta är för att blod består av mängder av olika celler som är suspenderade i blodplasman, som i sig självt består av massa olika molekyler. Att mäta de cellAcoustic trapping in microfluidic devices has emerged over the last decades as a promising novel cell handling technique. The unique properties exhibited by fluids at the microscale offer many advantages compared to the conventional methods. Here we investigate how effective a multinodal acoustic trapping device is for several essential cell handling procedures such as cell enrichment and staining

”Det lilla rummet i staden” utforskar ett av de minsta rummen i staden – kiosken. Kiosken har sedan mer än hundra år tillbaka varit ett stående inslag i vår stadsmiljö. Även om den har ändrat form, uttryck och material, så har dess existens i staden varit konstant. Men någonting har hänt i våra städer, och kioskerna som förr ansågs som nödvändiga för stads- och kvarterslivet har istället börjat pl

Pritam Kumarsingh A Case Study to develop and test GIS/SDSS methods to assess the production capacity of a Cocoa Site in Trinidad and Tobago Trinidad and Tobago has achieved world-wide affirmation for its unique fine and flavour cocoa (Theobroma cacao). This classification of cocoa commands price premiums on the global market. However, the industry has declined over years. Investors and farmers

The study takes off from gender studies, aiming to identify and explore the relations and roles that people share in society that shape their daily lives. Road corridor investments and how they affect women are argued to be in the middle of a development dilemma where three global agendas that appear incompatible are yet promoted simultaneously. The study aims to explore how gender roles and relat

This master thesis aims to propose sustainable solutions to influence the microclimate, tackle the urban heat island effect and provide a climate-sensitive design for Marina Bay in Singapore. During the site visit and research, the main challenges for Downtown Singapore were identified. The most threatening ones included increasing temperature and the heat island effect. The design principles co

High density lipoprotein (HDL) and its principal protein component Apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I) are commonly recognised for their anti-cardiovascular disease properties. Multiple studies have indicated that they also have important roles in the context of glycaemic control and diabetes. Low levels of HDL and ApoA-I have been linked to increased risk of diabetes development. Furthermore, it has been

Gotland Regiment P 18 was disbanded in 2004. Gotland had been a historically important strategic island for over 200 years and the Regiment was one of many that where to be disbanded due to economic restraints and a new Swedish security policy. The aim of this thesis is to examine why the decision was made due to the fact that the Regiment was re-established in 2018. Was it a rational decision or

Efforts to empower Albanian women and strengthen their participation in decision-making in local Forest and Pasture Users’ Associations (FPUAs) have been undertaken by the Environmental Services Project, including implementing the Gender Action Plan. The phenomenon of women’s agency and participation in decision-making in this local setting is examined in this study by answering the following: (I)

This thesis aims to contribute to the growing concept of Digital Financial Inclusion by exploring the challenges that Microfinance Institutes (MFIs) experience to provide financial services to the unbanked population in Bangladesh. Though there is an emergence of digital financial services provided by the commercial banks based on the infrastructural development initiative taken by the Bangladeshi

Civil society is an integral part of reaching sustainable development, and a cornerstone in democratic societies. The aim of this study is to investigate how Swedish donors and local partners work with civic space in Liberia, specifically challenges related to civic space. It also examines strategies Swedish donors and their local partners apply to overcome these challenges. The study has a qualit

It is increasingly recognised that the urgent need for more climate-adapted, context-appropriate and sustainable agro-food systems requires fundamental and crosscutting transformations. Alternative Food Initiatives (AFIs) have been proposed as one actor advancing transformation from the bottom up. This thesis contributes to existing research on AFIs relating to if and how they propose viable alter

In December 2020, the Swedish parliament accepted a proposition from the government, stipulating cruise missiles for the Gripen fighter jet should be acquired. This could be seen as a turn in Swedish defence policy since cruise missiles would enable airstrikes inside enemy territory in a conceivable conflict. Furthermore, this capability has not existed before and acquiring it has been criticised

This paper provides insight into the experiences of female migrants from Honduras and how these are shaped by gender inequalities and discrimination in the context of forced migration.
