Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze how tone and language use in CEO letters in the annual reports of Swedish listed real estate companies vary between economic upturns and downturns, and to examine how the narrative presentation during economic downturns relates to the companies’ financial key performance indicators. The study takes its point of departure in the real estate sector’s

The European bison (Bison bonasus), is the largest terrestrial mammal in Europe and a possible keystone species. Having previously been extinct in the wild, the European bison faces several severe challenges, such as lack of suitable habitat, habitat fragmentation, isolation of populations, small population sizes and a very limited gene pool. Nonetheless, after a long period of regulated matings a

Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to critically evaluate posts/comments collected from social media on AI auditing to analyze how auditors perceive the application of AI in the auditing industry currently. Methodology: We did qualitative research using content analysis to conduct our research. We scraped posts/comments from Reddit, Quora, and Weibo for information collection purposes. We used

This master thesis is aimed at developing a docking station for Axis communications’ camera V5915. The docking station in this master thesis will only reach a proof of concept level. Axis communications wanted to try to make an accessory which would make a camera wireless in the means of both power and communications. Studies on batteries were conducted early on in the project to understand the

Objectives: Posttransplant infections may lead to dire consequences in immunocompromised organ recipients. Oral foci of infection are therefore often eliminated prior to solid organ transplantation to reduce posttransplant morbidity. However, despite increasing numbers of organ transplantations the necessity of pretransplant dental treatment and its effect on transplant outcome remains uncertain.

Background: High-dose haemodiafiltration has been shown, in a randomised clinical trial, to result in a 23% lower risk of mortality for patients with kidney failure when compared with conventional high-flux haemodialysis. Nevertheless, whether treatment effects differ across subgroups, whether a dose–response relationship with convection volume exists, and the effects on cause-specific mortality r

Background: Beta-cell monogenic forms of diabetes have strong support for precision medicine. We systematically analyzed evidence for precision treatments for GCK-related hyperglycemia, HNF1A-, HNF4A- and HNF1B-diabetes, and mitochondrial diabetes (MD) due to m.3243 A > G variant, 6q24-transient neonatal diabetes mellitus (TND) and SLC19A2-diabetes. Methods: The search of PubMed, MEDLINE, and Emba

Context. Among the thousands of exoplanets discovered to date, approximately a few hundred gas giants on short-period orbits are classified as 'lonely'and only a few are in a multi-planet system with a smaller companion on a close orbit. The processes that formed multi-planet systems hosting gas giants on close orbits are poorly understood, and only a few examples of this kind of system have been

Context. The TOI-178 system consists of a nearby, late-K-dwarf with six transiting planets in the super-Earth to mini-Neptune regime, with radii ranging from ∼1.1 to 2.9 R⊕ and orbital periods between 1.9 and 20.7 days. All the planets, but the innermost one, form a chain of Laplace resonances. The fine-tuning and fragility of such orbital configurations ensure that no significant scattering or co

Multiplanetary systems spanning the radius valley are ideal testing grounds for exploring the different proposed explanations for the observed bimodality in the radius distribution of close-in exoplanets. One such system is HIP 29442 (TOI-469), an evolved K0V star hosting two super-Earths and one sub-Neptune. We observed HIP 29442 with CHEOPS for a total of 9.6 days, which we modelled jointly with

BACKGROUND: While the associations between pediatric non-obese metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) and multiple diagnostic biomarkers are well-established, the role of a broader range of blood-based, urine-based, and body composition-based biomarkers for monitoring MAFLD are needed.METHODS: A pediatric cohort was established in Wuxi, China. We measured body composition bio

High-pressure blocking events are anticyclones that persist over a region for a long time. The event prevents vertical mixing of air pollutants due to the subsidence inversion created by the adiabatic compression of air during the anticyclone. This study investigated the relationship of aerosol concentrations during periods of high-pressure blocking events in southern Sweden for the rural location

Research question: In what way has Swedbank applied accounting communication surrounding the money laundering scandal and how has the communication developed and changed over time along the course of the event? Purpose: The purpose of the study was to examine how Swedbank applied accounting communication in order to manage and rebuild their reputation in connection to the money laundering scandal

Climate change is an important topic for a lot of people and the usage of art to draw attention towards the issue is not a novel idea. Each art piece has had a different approach to, not only increase awareness but to also portray climate change. The expressions vary depending on who made the art piece, the context of its creation and similar parameters. Globally, this has been done since at least

Globally, automated ecological cameras (PhenoCam) are widely used to monitor vegetation and seasonal changes. Snow is usually easy to identify, but image quality flags (like haze, glare) can make it hard to detect in large datasets. Manual quality control becomes prohibitively time-intensive for large-scale phenological studies, creating a critical need for robust automated snow detection methods.
