The purpose of this study is to explore identity dynamics in mergers and acquisitions. As Clark, Gioia, Ketchen and Thomas (2010) point out, traditional economic perspectives are often not sufficient in explaining merger outcomes. Extant research on identity largely take a functionalist approach and frequently use quantitative methods, not taking the individual seriously. In contrast, we want to b
Traditionally, Total Factor Productivity (TFP) growth, interpreted as growth due to technological advancement, is considered as the main source of long-term economic growth as other factors of input i.e. labor and capital are subjected to diminishing returns. However, conventional methods of measuring TFP did not distinguish between technological change and efficiency change. Recent developments i
40 L tap water was ultra-filtered by M10 lab unit using 10 kDa regenerated membrane and 800 nm syringe filter to get the NPs. The filter NPs are then separated and characterized using asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation with coupled multi angle light scattering (AF4-MALS). Calibration curve for determining the size distribution is made by polystyrene latex bead (20, 60, 100, 300, and 500 nm
This thesis offers an analysis of how Breaking Bad's anti-hero Walter White can be viewed through the lens of forgiveness within Christian theology. The theories used for the theological approach are those presented by Magnus Abrahamson (Th. D), Desmond and Mpho Tutu, and Per Arne Dahl. The first part of this thesis provides the reader with an overview of what the aforementioned authors commun
The aim of this study is to gain an understanding of the potential relationship between populism and a population’s search for security and belonging. Furthermore, how this is expressed through the rhetoric and policies of a country’s leader, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in Turkey, and Viktor Orbán in Hungary, this is examined through conducting a qualitative content analysis. Here I use newspaper article
The purpose of this essay is to suggest a new reading of Richard Adams’ Watership Down (1972) by adopting the recently new discipline of Animal Studies. Adams follows a long tradition of talking animals in literature, which still to this day, is an important part of the English literary canon. Throughout this essay, I shall focus on several aspects of the novel. I will look at the anthropomorphize
Children in Swedish preschools are exposed to high noise levels that can cause hearing damage or voice related problems among both teachers and students, this since they have to raise their voice in order to make themselves heard in a noisy environment. Because of this it is of interest to be able to predict the sound environment in preschools. A way to do this is through convolving binaural recor
With the increased efficiency of sequencing methods, large quantities of genomic information are quickly becoming available. To make use of this, methods are needed that can discern useful information from these vast data quantities. Such information could be the presence and position of specified genes with known properties. Due to their highly conserved sequences and their prevalence across all
This thesis deals with tourism to Fukushima. Specifically, it examines how traditional tourism and dark tourism shape the identity of Fukushima. In order to do so, the thesis has adapted Digital Methods, particularly by using web crawlers, and visual qualitative content analysis of pictures complemented with word clouds to reveal how Fukushima is conceptualised on different tourism websites. Three
Engine development for reduced fuel consumption and for the ability to use alternative types of fuels is required as emissions and the limited access of petroleum are issues coupled to diesel engines. Experimental testing is in many cases insufficient and expensive in comparison with simulations for engine development. This thesis is focused on extending a model of a diesel compression-ignition en
The purpose of this thesis is to provide a contextual and legal analysis on the exclusion of transgender individuals from employment in the formal economy. The chosen research design was a case study, in which the city of São Paulo is examined. Through a qualitative analysis, this study subscribed to the Social Exclusion framework (Jehoel-Gijsbers and Vrooman, 2007) in order to investigate such ex
Under hösten 2017 spreds hashtaggen #metoo som en lavin på sociala medier. Upprinnelsen till hashtaggen var ett utpekande av en filmproducent som avslöjades ha utsatt flertalet kvinnor inom den amerikanska filmbranschen för sexuella övergrepp. I samband med avslöjandet uppmanade en amerikansk skådespelerska sina kvinnliga kollegor att offentliggöra sina erfarenheter av sexuella övergrepp under hasIn the fall of 2017, the hashtag #metoo spread virally on social media. The hashtag started when a Hollywood film producer was accused of having exposed several women in the American film industry of sexual abuse. In connection with the allegations, an American actress encouraged her female colleagues to publish their experiences of sexual abuse under the hashtag of me too. The hashtag was first u
The most critical element of doing risk arbitrage is the assessment of the out- come of a corporate takeover. Prediction models have been created in the past and successfully proven some variables in mergers and acquisitions to have a significant impact on the takeover outcome. However, these prediction models have mostly been created with U.S. data and some years back in time. This thesis will in
Studies of aquaporin’s are broad study field in today’s science. In this master project the membrane protein aquaporin SoPIP2;1 has been studied. The aim of the project was to obtain protein crystals with Lipidic Cubic Phase (LCP) crystallization and study their diffraction. If the obtained resolution of the crystals were satisfying the molecular map also would be studied and that would reveal us
The conventional internal combustion engines of today are starting to reach their maximum possible efficiency, however the demand for highly efficient vehicles keeps increasing. There are many ways of improving the total fuel consumption of an internal combustion engine, but one of the most promising, effective and available methods is the implementation of an Organic Rankine cycle (ORC). The scop
