Organizations are increasingly using communicative strategies to try influencing consumers to create a positive image around them. However, the image is an im-material concept in the mind of the consumer, which can create problems for or-ganizations since it is not possible to predict the image that will be assign to them. The study therefore intends to create an understanding of how consumers cre

This research shows the impact of credit rating change (thereafter CRC) announcements on the combined entities following mergers and acquisitions. In looking at the effect of CRC announcements on share prices, we measure the level of influence that a credit upgrade or downgrade has on the equity value of firms. Existing literature disputes the applicability of share price as a measure of value cre
Nowadays, innovation and technological development are considered as crucial for the development and economic growth of regions and nations. Knowledge interactions hold a central position in the innovation process. In line with this, researchers as well as politicians emphasize that knowledge interactions need to be facilitated. This approach has been adapted to the cross-border regional context a
Scientists estimate that in order to contain global warming below 2°C, only around 900 GtCO2, can be emitted between 2013 and 2050. Recent research shows that in order to meet this target, global demand for fossil fuels has to decline. In their 2014 report, The Carbon Tracker Initiative calculated that a global emission restriction in accordance with the 2-degree target would require a market pric
Climate change places pressure on rural land in terms of carbon sequestration, biomass for substitution and adaptation of crops. Land use can both positively and negatively influence the runoff regime, therefor a catchment perspective is important when developing climate strategies. This is also important with respect to flood-risk that will increase with climate change. Here I investigate if ther

This report describes the development of a manufacturing process for creating custom-made prosthetic arm sockets using 3D scanning and 3D printing. The process is intended to function as a guide for a prosthetist without requiring an extensive experience in CAD. The project aims to offer a viable alternative to the often time consuming and manual labour-intensive conventional manufacturing method,
Adapting to climate change impacts is crucial as changes due to climate change are already locked in and will occur independently of reductions of greenhouse gas emissions. Recent studies in climate change adaptation literature have cited that social learning is beneficial for increasing adaptive capacity. The capacity for social learning is governed by the degree of flexibility of the institution

Despite longstanding and far-reaching recognition of the need for social change towards environmental sustainability, the delivery of this transition is proving problematic. Dominant strategies for sustainable development in western countries focus on uncoupling economic development from ecological harm. Scandinavia epitomises this approach to green economy, especially in the transition to a low-c
Rivers have been modified significantly during the last 200 years in Switzerland. These modifications were done for protection purposes (protection against floods), construction of hydropower plants, gain of land or other human activities. These artificial transformations have reduced, sometimes drastically, the natural dynamic of the rivers, which has reduced biodiversity, and has also increased

In this thesis I explore the relationship between the transition movement and social and ecological justice. Through a case study of Transition Guelph (TG), a transition town in Ontario, Canada, I discuss how TG creates a language based on binary concepts embedded in unequal power relations, and how this language informs their actions and activism. I also discuss how language affects their own org
En kattrumpa innebär en överlåtelse genom gåva av en näringsfastighet från en fysisk person till ett bolag som ägs av överlåtaren och dennes närstående. Viss ersättning utgår men den understiger såväl fastighetens marknadsvärde som taxeringsvärde. Kattrumpan är ett skatteplaneringsförfarande vars namn uppkommit genom rättspraxis.
