This study revives a heavily debated relationship between government debt accumulation and economic growth. Although indebtedness levels stay high, current economic growth forecasts seem optimistic not only in the euro area but in other advanced countries, as well. 24 advanced OECD economies are investigated to understand if financial outcomes are detrimental to the real economic variables in the
Abstract The retina is the inner most layer of the eye. It is responsible for conversion of light into an electrical signal that pass through the fibers of the optic nerve to the visual centers in the brain. Most of the neo-vascular retinal diseases lead to legal vision loss. Silver and gold nanoparticles have got a great interest in ocular research due to their anti-bacterial effects and their ab
In an age-structured model originating from cancer research, the cell cycle is divided into two phases: Phase 1 of variable length, consisting of the biologically so called G1 phase, and Phase 2 of fixed length, consisting of the so called S, G2 and M phases. A system of nonlinear PDEs along with initial and boundary data describes the number densities of cells in the two phases, depending on time
In the year 2020 the pandemic COVID-19 caused several disruptions to society where increased border controls were a major one. This paper will examine how the shock from pandemic related border control affected service trade which relied on movement of people. This will be done by studying trade values on Sweden's import of services from Denmark allocated to two modes of supply. To examine the
Organizational change due to digitalization trends puts established organizations under pressure to constantly adapt in order to compete in today’s markets. The disruptive nature of such transformational changes significantly impacts what organizations stand for and, thus, how organizational members relate to their organization. Taking an interpretivist stance, the aim of this study is to understa
The site, Bällsta harbor, is a part of Ulvsunda industrial area, located on the east side of Bromma airport in Stockholm. Today, the housing shortage in Stockholm, the debate over the closure of Bromma Airport, and the plan to extend the tram line bring new opportunities to Bällsta harbor for redevelopment. This proposal aims to bring a diverse mix of uses, pedestrian-oriented and children-friend
This thesis conducts an in-depth investigation of the conformal two Higgs doublet model (C2HDM) in its most general form, integrating complex couplings λ5, λ6, λ7 and a CPviolating phase e−iδ. This setup enables a detailed exploration of $\mathcal{CP}$-violation and its impact on electroweak phase transitions (EWPT) and gravitational wave (GW) signatures. Using the Higgs basis simplifies tree-le
The expected increase in both consumption and production of electricity strains the Swedish electricity grid, necessitating both reinforcement and expansion. Concurrently, the need to decarbonise heavy industry is becoming more urgent to achieve the EU Climate neutrality goal by 2050, with hydrogen anticipated as a key player. Hybrid energy systems that combine the generation of renewable electric
Seminar Date: 2024-05-29 Course: BUSN79 - Degree Project in Accounting and Finance Authors: William Gustafsson and Jacob Linder Examiner: Anna Glenngård Five key words: CEO letters, sentiment analysis, agency theory, firm performance, Tobin's Q. Purpose: Discern with the help of a new machine learning model whether the sentiment expressed in CEO letters can offer meaningful insights into
When starting and running a new business, entrepreneurs often face stressors and sleep turbulence such as insomnia that disrupt their daily activities. These challenges frequently result in increased exhaustion, which negatively affects cognitive functioning and entrepreneurial performance. Drawing on existing research, I introduce a conceptual framework to gain valuable understanding into the int
Considering a panel data of 23 countries from different income levels, this research aims to understand the role of governmental quality in mediating the effects of income inequality on CO2 emissions in the period between 1990 and 2020. Using system-GMM, results indicate that good governance is indeed a crucial factor in establishing the direction of the relationship between income inequality and
The following research paper examines the impact of varying environmental regulation stringency on the landscape of green technological innovation in the maritime industry from 2006-2020. Additionally, the paper explores the potential indirect effect of these innovations, induced by stringency levels, on industry competitiveness. The research is grounded in a theoretical framework primarily drawin
The most prevalent joint disease in adults is osteoarthritis. The knee joint is the joint which is the most affected by osteoarthritis, with mechanical overloading being one of the causes. While no cure exists for osteoarthritis, many different treatment options are available. One alternative is to wear a knee brace on the affected leg. This aims to slow down the progression of osteoarthritis to p
Anthropogenic impact on terrestrial ecosystems continues to grow as we further enhance atmospheric Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) concentrations. The changing climatic conditions and direct influence of CO₂ on vegetation has a big impact on ecosystem functions. Such impacts include CO₂ fertilisation, found to be an important driver of the global greening trend. By increasing leaf photosynthesis and enhan
Intermarriage patterns are often referred to as a step in the social assimilation. However, previous research on is ambiguous in its result concerning differences in intermarriage pattern between genders. According to the theory intermarriage patterns are both influences by preferences and opportunities. This thesis conducts a conditional fixed effects logistic regression to analyses the intermarr
Since 1988 there have been international attempts to regulate banks with the Basel Rules; despite these international efforts to regulate banks within the Basel Rules, the rules have been insufficient. The financial crisis of 2008 highlighted the importance of regulatory oversight in the banking sector. The crisis resulted in strengthened regulatory approaches worldwide, within the USA and Europe,
In recent years, the interrelation between neurodivergent conditions such as ADHD and entrepreneurial activities has received increased attention within academic research. While several studies indicate that individuals displaying ADHD symptoms show elevated levels of entrepreneurial intention and action, other studies found that these do not necessarily translate into entrepreneurial success. Whi
This thesis is a comparison analysis of two Nordic monastic sites -Naantali, located in Finland and Skriðuklaustur, located in Iceland- and three medieval herbals -Läkebok nr 4, Läkebok nr5 and AM 434a 12mo- from the same region. The objective is to examine the interlink between medicinal plants found in the different sources. To provide context to the analysis, the thesis first discussed medieval
In just the last decade, the popularity of Korean cultural exports has skyrocketed, and fans are to be found everywhere from Seoul to Sweden. While the K-phenomenon is often conceptualized as a global force, engagement tends to be personal and emotionally charged. As such, involvement is closely interlinked with the process of self-realization. This paper visualizes consumption of Hallyu as the co
