The paper aims to examine the effect of companies announcing to become carbon neutral in the Nordic countries on their stock prices. By conducting an event study approach on the four main markets of the Nordics we find that, on average, only the Oslo Stock Exchange reacts positively to these announcements. We show that a less ambitious carbon neutrality target announcement leads to yielding higher

Conventional agriculture and animal husbandry are leading causes of greenhouse gas emissions,environmental degradation, and biodiversity loss. Biocyclic Vegan Agriculture (BVA) is an approach that aims to address the concerns of modern agriculture and provide a sustainable and ethical alternative. Through the heuristic lens of the Multi-Level Perspective, where BVA serves as a potential niche, thi

Tröger’s Base (TB) is a bicyclic compound containing a methanodiazocine group between two aromatic rings. The methylene bridge forces the molecule to have a bent formation; thus, the aromatic rings are close to 90 degrees relative to each other, resulting in a rigid concave aromatic cavity. These unique properties make TB a great candidate as a molecular cleft compound and a good structure as a mo

This study analyzes the memory of Rosenhagen, a People’s Park in Anderslöv. The Park was founded in 1930 by the local labor movement and has since then served varied, but important functions in the community. In January 2022, the main building in the Park was burned down in arson, which initiated a process within the association to write down the history of the Park to make sure that Rosenhagen wo

Despite the long-established commitment to gender mainstreaming in global development, its transformative potential remains questionable in practice.

The hypothesis was that people with a high inclination to multitasking would perform better in memory tasks regarding memories for associations, and people with a low inclination to multitasking would perform better in memory tasks regardin

Den svenska modellen kännetecknas av arbetsmarknadens parters autonomi som en långvarig tradition. Detta innebär att parterna själva i mångt och mycket är lagstiftare, domare och processförare där staten har en låg grad av inblandning. Denna modell har emellertid flera gånger utmanats sedan Sveriges inträde i Europeiska unionen år 1994 då Sverige fäste stor vikt vid värnandet av den svenska modellThe Swedish model is characterized by the autonomy of social partners as a long withstanding tradition. This means that the social partners act as legislators, judges, and litigators with a low degree of governmental interference. This model has, however, been challenged several times since Sweden’s accession to the European Union in 1994 where Sweden reiterated the importance of defending the Swe

Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att undersöka om kvinnors känslomässiga och obetalda arbete påverkar deras hälsa. Tidigare forskning har visat att kvinnor tenderar att må sämre när de utför mer obetalt och känslomässigt arbete. Därför valde vi att undersöka fördelningen av dessa arbeten mellan kvinnor och män, och fokusera på hur det påverkar kvinnors psykiska hälsa. Resultatet visade en statis

The system of capitalist agriculture increasingly shows its social, economic and ecological failures. Some of the alternatives are based on food and seed sovereignty. However, the knowledge systems underlying seed saving practices, especially in the West African context, have been overlooked. To investigate the relation between seed sovereignty and local knowledge systems, I analyse the case study
