The apartment-block of Flagghusen in Malmö in the south of Sweden was built and designed with the intention to achieve a lower energy use compare to the regulations and a good indoor environment. The outcome of this ambition was evaluated in a first report in 2010 that showed that the overall notion of the perceived indoor climate in the apartments were good but that the measured energy use exceed
We report a case of a 5-year-old child who suffered an oral allergy syndrome and lip angiedema after eating grapes. We obtained a positive prick test with commercial grape extract and a positive prick-by-prick test with pulp and peel of fresh white grape (Moscatel variety) and pulp and peel of blue grape. Sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis followed by immunoblotting reveale
This article traces the reception of the the Swedish film Ingeborg Holm in 1913. The film created a fierce debate regarding the Swedish poor laws. This debate eventually led to changes in the law in 1918.
The Drell-Yan (DY) process of dilepton pair production off nuclei is not affected by final state interactions, energy loss, or absorption. A detailed phenomenological study of this process is thus convenient for investigation of the onset of initial-state effects in proton-nucleus (pA) collisions. In this paper, we present a comprehensive analysis of the DY process in pA interactions at RHIC and L
The purpose of this thesis is to examine if, from a portfolio perspective, the Value at Risk decreases when electricity is included as an asset to a portfolio of risk bearing assets and if this could have an impact on risk hedging strategies. The portfolio standard deviation used to calculate the Value at Risk is based on a Dynamic Conditional Correlation approach providing a time dependent correl
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to enhance the understanding of how different groups of consumers perceive a brand depending on whether they are exposed to influencer marketing or paid social media marketing. Methodology: A descriptive quantitative study with a between-subjects design was conducted using a digital survey. A combination of one-way ANOVA, independent samples t-test and Spear

This Bachelors thesis involves the creation of a market place for animal compound feed risk management, potential hedging instruments and applicable risk management strategies. The market place is a cross hedged portfolio of futures contracts that correlate with the price of animal compound feed in Sweden, defined as an index and referred to as Compound Feed Index. The thesis has been conducted i
Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur kapitalstrukturen sett ut i 32 stora byggbolag i Sverige mellan åren 2005 - 2014. Studien har som grund en kvantitativ metod med en deduktiv ansats där empiri används som grund, observeras och sedan skapas vetenskap kring den. Studiens resultat blev att skuldsättningen hade minskat under krisåren 2008-2009. Den regressionsanalys som genomfördes pekade ä
This thesis investigates the evolving legal status of Sports Governing Bod-ies (SGBs) like UEFA and FIFA under EU law. It specifically questions whether their regulatory frameworks and practices align with EU competi-tion law and free movement principles. The research heavily relies on the analysis of recent pivotal court decisions, including the December Rulings and Diarra. The thesis begins by
Det är inte ovanligt att parterna i en nationell tvist kommer från olika länder. När en tvist mellan parter med olika internationell anknytning initieras uppkommer ibland frågor om vilket lands domstol som är behörig att pröva tvisten och vilket lands lag som ska gälla för tvisten. En något mer undanskymd fråga inom det internationella rättssamfundet, men som likväl kan ge upphov till jurisdiktionIt is not uncommon for parties to a domestic dispute to come from different countries. When a dispute between parties with different international connections is initiated, questions sometimes arise as to which country’s court has jurisdiction to hear the dispute and which country’s law should apply to the dispute. A somewhat more obscure issue within the international legal community, but which c
Detta examensarbete undersöker hur svenska banker kommunicerar och marknadsför gröna lån, samt i vilken utsträckning denna kommunikation riskerar att bidra till greenwashing, när företag ger en bild av att vara mer miljövänliga än vad som är fallet. Studien utgår från en kvalitativ metod och baseras på intervjuer med tre svenska banker, Swedbank, SEB och Sparbanken Skåne samt tre fastighetsbolag, This thesis investigates how Swedish banks communicate and market green loans, and to what extent this communication risks contributing to greenwashing, when companies portray themselves as more environmentally friendly than they actually are. The study employs a qualitative method and is based on interviews with three Swedish banks, Swedbank, SEB, and Sparbanken Skåne, as well as three real estat
Sveriges utveckling i form av ett mer digitaliserat och elektrifierat samhälle medför en högre belastning på elnätet. Samtidigt är elnätet inte dimensionerad för denna belastning. Nätets kapacitet är direkt kopplat till effektuttag och för att jämna ut och minska höga effekttoppar i nätet beslutades det därför att införa effektavgifter senast den 1 januari 2027. Under tiden arbetet skrevs beslutadSweden’s development towards a more digitalized and electrified society is increasing the load on the electricity grid. At the same time, the grid is not dimensioned for this level of demand. The grid capacity is directly linked to power demand, and to reduce and smooth out high-power peaks, it was decided that demand-based electricity tariffs would be introduced no later than January 1, 2027. Dur
IntroductionPrevious work from our group demonstrated that pregnant mice exposed to marijuana smoke presented reduced fetal and neonatal outcomes including reduced birthweight and increased placental weight. To further characterize the possible placental mechanisms underlying these observations, the present study evaluated placental morphology, function and molecular markers in the same experiment
Modification of the resonance fluorescence spectrum of a two-level atom driven by a monochromatic field in the close proximity of a plasmonic nanostructure (metal sphere) is studied in detail. It is shown that one can control this spectrum by varying several key parameters: (i) the radius of the nanosphere, (ii) polarization of the incident radiation, and (iii) the atom's location around the nanos
A parsimonious set of mechanisms explains how and under which conditions behavioral deviations build into cascades that reshape institutional frameworks from the bottom up, even if institutional innovations initially conflict with the legally codified rules of the game. Specifically, we argue that this type of endogenous institutional change emerges from an interplay between three factors: the uti
There still is a need for devices that allow reproducible stimulation of skin areas of the human body. We constructed a stimulation system and tested it by using brief pneumatic stimulation to the right thumb of nine healthy volunteers. BOLD-signals in response to tactile stimulation with frequencies of 1, 3 and 5 Hz were measured using a 3T MRI scanner. The stimulation device consists of syntheti
Propionic acid (PA) is a naturally occurring short chain fatty acid produced by microbial fermentation of the indigestible foods in the intestine, having a positive effect on the gastrointestinal health. PA inhibits the growth of pathogenic bacteria and molds; hence it is widely used as preservative for food, feed and grains. It is also used as a component in several industrial products like polym
