This paper examines conventional bankruptcy prediction models under the thesis that such models perform better when applied to adjusted financial statement data, rather than to reported data. This hypothesis is tested by revisiting already existing bankruptcy models as well as developing two new models for predicting imminent corporate failures. The result of the study reveals that financial adjus
Since the 1950, Europe has been pursuing to mimic the innovative success of Silicon Valley through artificial innovative clusters or science parks. Today, science parks are abundant in Europe, yet research on their performance has mainly focused on their ability to produce successful new ventures. This thesis explores the role multinational enterprises (MNEs) have in the development of competences
This paper investigates the role of ethnicity in regional economic divergence across the Mexican states based on each state’s overall access to government services such as education, public infrastructure and healthcare based on the latest available data. The paper uses Mexico as a case study using the country’s three main ethnicities (Indigenous, Mestizo and European) as dependent variables for r

Inom fältet för högre utbildning sker nu stora förändringar, både vad gäller pedagogiska metoder och tekniska lösningar men också i form av en ökad konkurrens mellan lärosäten. Förändringar som avspeglar sig i arkitekturen genom en omfattande pågående och planerad framtida byggnation av lärandemiljöer. I de vägledande campusplaner och dokument som lärosäten och fastighetsägare gemensamt tar fraThe diverse field of higher education is facing multiple challenges meanwhile undergoing major transformation, driven by new teaching and learning structures, implementation of virtual and online technology and growing competition between universities as they battle to attract staff, researchers and students. A large number of construction projects have been carried out on Swedish campuses over th
Purpose: The purpose and aim with this research was to understand how brands successfully can co-opt a social movement; specifically feminism, as part of their brand building-strategies. The phenomenon was explored by comparing one successful case, Libresse’s ‘RedFit’ campaign, with a relatively the less successful case; that is, H&M’s ‘Ladylike’ campaign. Methodology: This study takes a rela
This study examines the ambiguous relationship between increased democratic influence between elections and democratic equality. Initiatives to strengthen the possibilities for citizens to affect public policy are being suggested by the 2014 Commission on Democracy in order to decrease democratic inequality, but what consequences can be expected from such initiatives? This study investigates the m
Medling är ett snabbt tvistlösningsförfarande med förhållandevis låga kostnader. En hög andel av alla medlingar som företas resulterar i överenskommelser som i stor utsträckning efterlevs av parterna. Mot bakgrund av medlingens förtjänster som tvistlösningsmetod undersöker uppsatsen, med fokus på kommersiella tvister, på vilka sätt medling kan främjas och i vilken utsträckning det är rättfärdigat Mediation, or conciliation, is a fast dispute resolution method with relatively low costs. A large proportion of all mediation procedures appear to result in successful agreements that are complied with by the parties. While noting the merits of mediation as a dispute resolution method, this thesis investigates, with a focus on commercial disputes, in which ways mediation can be promoted and to wh
The aim of this thesis is to analyze and determine the meaning of the term “Beneficial Owner”, in the model treaty of the OECD and therefore its meaning in bilateral negotiated treaties based on the model treaty. The term’s legacy and application is presented. While the meaning and application of the term is being presented, its application as, as well as border to, anti-abuse rules are examined.
I anslutning till 2015 års flyktingvåg uppenbarades oklarheter i rättsläget med avseende på det svenska rättssystemets tillhandahållande av ställföreträdare för ensamkommande barn. Personer som är under 18 år betraktas enligt svensk rätt som omyndiga vilket innebär att barn saknar förmåga att med rättsligt bindande verkan fatta beslut i personliga angelägenheter och råda över sin egendom. EnsamkomIn 2015 Sweden received an unexpected number of refugees which revealed several flaws within the domestic regulations regarding representation of unaccompanied children. According to swedish legislation persons under the age of 18 lack the legal capacity to make decisions in personal and financial matters. Unaccompanied children who arrive in Sweden require a guardian who can look after the child’
Children working in mining related activities are not uncommon in Sierra Leone. Their involvement has become a matter of increasing global attention and significant measures have been taken at national and international levels to combat the problem. However its prevalence gives reasons for concern. In the case of Sierra Leone it has been argued that there has been a failure to carry out an analysi
This study tracks the use of the term “ensamkommande” (unaccompanied minors) in five major Swedish newspapers news/reportive articles over the months July 2014 to June 2016, using quantitative content analysis in order to detect shifts in the media frame preferences. The results are set in a context where examples of the recurring article frames are studied, using media framing theory, studying di
Labour law is facing a challenge in the era of globalisation. Due to new conditions in the landscape of employment relations, the legal field needs to reformulate its legitimacy in order to not risk becoming obsolete. This thesis seeks to contribute to the discussion on the need to reinvigorate labour law with a focus on labour rights protection of third country migrant workers. The thesis analyse
Vi lever idag i ett informationssamhälle, information är mer lättillgänglig än någonsin. I Sverige lever vi också i en trend av urbanisering, i dagsläget bor 85% av svenskarna i tätorter (SCB, 2015). Det är i ljuset av denna samhällsutveckling som konceptet om en smart, uppkopplad och hållbar stad har växt fram. Uppsatsen undersöker svenska kommuners uppfattning kring nytta och användbarhet av sma
Det har länge talats om stadskärnor i kris i media och bland experter. Traditionella funktioner i stadskärnor såsom handel har flyttats till externa köpcentrum och internet. Det finns många olika perspektiv och teorier kring hur städer kan bli mer attraktiva och locka tillbaka människor till städerna, men många av dem saknar ett helhetsperspektiv på vad som utgör stadskärnornas unika konkurrensför
Lukten av urin kan nog många känna igen men för vissa, de som använder sig av inkontinensskydd, kan det vara kopplat till en oro att det kommer från en själv. Bakterier som vi har naturligt på kroppen kan ha en roll i möjlig luktutveckling när man använder sig av inkontinensskydd. Frågan är då om och i sådana fall hur denna lukt utvecklas från bakterier i inkontinensskydd? För att ta reda på det sUrinary Incontinence is a problem for many people which can give rise to both psychological and social issues. To their aid there are a range of incontinence products available in retail today. A customer concern is however possible malodor formation. Studies have shown that both urine and the bacterial flora can contribute to malodor but the impact of microbial behavior in incontinence products o
Public-private partnerships (PPPs) as a form of contract farming are increasing in number across Sub-Saharan Africa; providing a potential solution to the threat of food insecurity and stimulant of economic growth. Yet, the perceived extent to which the operations of contract-farming PPPs include original smallholders – inclusivity - is often questioned. There is currently little evidence of the e
I och med införandet av den tillfälliga lagen har en asylsökandes skyddsstatus fått ökad betydelse. Exempelvis har flyktingar rätt till familjeåterförening medan alternativt skyddsbehövande som regel inte har det. Sverige har bland annat kritiserats av UNHCR för att få personer, vid en internationell jämförelse, beviljas flyktingstatus i landet. Detta arbete undersöker domar från migrationsdomstoAsylum seekers’ protection status has become more important since the implementation of the temporary migration law in Sweden, inter alia as people with refugee status have a right to family reunification while people with subsidiary protection do not. Sweden has several times been criticised, including by the UNHCR, as few people, in an international comparison, are granted refugee status in the
